THE MOST HIGH AND MIGHTY PKINCE, 

JAMES, 

BY THE GttACE OF GOD, 

m T G OF GREAT BRITAIN, ERANCE, AND IRELAND, 

DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, ETC. 

The Translators of the BIBLE wish Grace, Mercy, and Peace, 
through JESUS CHRIST our Lord. 

(THREAT and manifold were the blessings, most dread Sovereign, which Almishty God, the Father 
^ of all mercies, bestowed upon us the people of England, when first he sent'Your Majesty's Royal 
Person to rule and reign over us. ,For whereas it was the expectation of many, who wished not well 
unto our Sion, that, upon the setting of that bright Occidental Star, Queen Elizabeth, of most happy 
memory, some thick and palpable clouds of darkness would so have overshadowed this land, that 
men should have been in doubt which way they were to walk, and that it should hardly be known 
who was to direct the unsettled State ; the appearance of Jour Majesty, as of the Sim in his strength, 
instantly dispelled those supposed and surmised mists, and gave unto all that were well affected 
exceeding cause of comfort; especially when we beheld the Government established in Your High- 
ness, and Your hopeful Seed, by an undoubted Title; and this also accompanied with peace and 
tranquillity at home and abroad. 

But among all our joys, there was no one that more filled our hearts than tbe blessed continu- 
ance of the preaching of God's sacred Word among us, which is that inestimable treasure which ex- 
celleth all the riches of the earth; because the fruit thereof extendetb itself, not only to the time 
spent in this transitory world, but direeteth and disposeth men unto that eternal happiness which 
is above in heaven. 

Then not to suffer this to fall to the ground, but rather to take it up, and to continue it in that 
state wherein the famous Predecessor of Your Highness did leave it; nay, to go forward with the con- 
fidence and resolution of a man, in maintaining the truth of Christ, and propagating it far and near, 
is that which hath so bound and firmly knit the hearts of all Your Majesty's loyal and religious 
people unto You. that Your very name is precious among them: their eye doth behold You with 
comfort, and they bless You in their hearts, as that sanctified Person, who. under God, is the imme- 
diate author of their true happiness- And this then- contentment doth not diminish or decay, but 
every day increaseth and taketh strength, when they observe that the zeal of Your Majesty toward 
the house of God doth not slack or go backward, but is more and more kindled, manifesting itself 
abroad in the farthest parts of Christendom, by writing in defence of the truth, (which hath given 
such a blow unto that Man of Sin as will not be healed,) and every day at home, by religious and 
learned discourse, by frequenting the house of God, by hearing the Word preached, by cherishing 
the teachers thereof, by caring for the Church, as a most tender and loving nursing father. 

There are infinite arguments of this right Christian and religious affection in your Majesty; but 
none is more forcible to declare it to others than the vehement and perpetuated desire of accom- 
plishing and publishing of this work, which now, with all humility, we present unto Your Majesty. 
For when Your Highness had once, out of deep judgment, apprehended how convenient.it was, that, 
out of the Original sacred Tongues, together with comparing of the labours, both in our own and 
other foreign languages, of many worthy men who went before us, there should be one more exact 
translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English Tongue; Your Majesty did never desist to urge 
and to excite those to whom it was commended, that the Work might be hastened, and that the 
business might be expedited in so decent a manner, as a matter of such importance might justly 
require. 

And now at last, by the mercy of God. and the continuance of our labours, it being brought unto 
such a conclusion, as that we have great hopes that the Church of England shall reap good fruit 
thereby, we hold it our duty to offer it to Your Majesty, not only as to our King and Sovereign, 
but as to the principal mover and author of the W 7 ork; humbly craving of Your most sacred Ma- 
jesty, that, since things of this quality have ever been subject to the censures of ill-meaning and 



DEDICATION. 

discontented persons, it may receive approbation and patronage from so learned and judicious a Prince 
as Your Highness is*, whose allowance and acceptance of our labours shall more honour and encourage 
us, than all the calumniations and hard interpretations of other men shall dismay us. So that if. on 
the one side, we shall be traduced by Popish persons at home or abroad, who therefore will malign 
us, because we are poor instruments to make God's holy truth to be yet more and more known unto 
the people, whom they desire still to keep in ignorance and darkness; or if. on the other side, we 
shall be maligned by self-conceited brethren, who run their own ways, and give liking unto nothing 
but what is Framed by themselves, and hammered on their anvil, we may rest secure, supported 
within by the truth and innocency of a good conscience, having walked the ways of simplicity and 
integrity, as before the Lord, and sustained without by the powerful protection of Your Majesty's 
grace and favour, which will ever give countenance to honest and Christian endeavours against 
bitter censures and uncharitable imputations. 

The Lord of heaven and earth bless Your Majesty with many and happy days; that, as his 
heavenly baud hath enriched Your Highness with many singular and extraordinary graces, 
so You may be the wonder of the world in this latter age lor happiness and true felicity, to 
the honour of that great God, and the good of his Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord 
and only Saviour.

THE FIRST BOOK OF HOSES, CALLED 



GENESIS. 



CHAPTEE L 

1 The creation of heaven and earth, 2 of 
the light, 6 of the firmament: 9 the earth 
separated from the waters, 11 and made 
fruitful. 14 The creation of the sun, 
moon, and stars, 20 of the fish and fowl, 
24 of beasts and cattle. '26 Creation of 
man in the image of God; and his bless- 
ing. 29 The appointment of food. 

JN * the beginning 6 God created 
the heaven and the earth. 

2 And the earth was c without 
form, and void; and darkness ivas 
upon the face of the deep. d And 
the Spirit of God moved upon the 
face of the waters. 

3 5f e And God said, Let there he 
light : and there was light. 

4 And God saw the light, that it 
was good: and God divided the 2 
light from the darkness. 

5 And God called the light / Day, 
and the darkness he called Night. 

2 And the evening and the morn- 
ing were the first day. 

6 II And God said, y Let there be 
a 3 firmament in the midst of the 
waters, and let it divide the waters 
from the waters. 

7 And God made the firmament, 
and divided the waters which were 
under the firmament from the 
waters which were above the fir- 
mament : and it was so. 

8 And God called the firmament 
Heaven. And the evening and 
the morning were the second 
day. 

9 % And God said, h Let the waters 
under the heaven be gathered 
together unto one place, and let 
the dry land appear: and it was 
so. 

10 And God called the dry land 
Earth; and the gathering together 
of the waters called he Seas : and 
God saw that it was good. 

11 And God said, * Let the earth 
bring forth 4 grass, the herb yield- 
ing seed, and the fruit tree yielding 
fruits after his kind, whose seed is 
in itself, upon the earth: and it 
was so. 

12 And the earth brought forth 
grass, and herb yielding seed after 
his kind, and the tree yielding 
fruit, whose seed was in itself, after 
his kind: and God saw that it was 
good. 

13 And the evening and the morn- 
ing were the third day.

15 And let them be for fights in 
the firmament of the heaven to 
give light upon the earth : and it 
was so. 

16 And God made two great 
lights ; the greater light 6 to rule 
the day, and the lesser fight to rule 
the night : he made the stars also. 

17 And God l set them in the 
firmament of the heaven to give 
fight upon the earth, 

18 And to rule over the day and 
over the night, and to divide the 
light from the darkness : and God 
saw that it was good. 

19 And the evening and the 
morning were the fourth day. 

20 ^ And God said, m Let the 
waters bring forth abundantly the 
moving 7 creature that hath B life, 
and 9 fowl that may fly above the 
earth in the 10 open firmament of 
heaven. 

21 And God created great whales, 
and every living creature that 
moveth, which the waters brought 
forth abundantly, after their kind, 
and every winged fowl after his 
kind: and God saw that it was 
good. 

22 And God blessed them, saying, 
Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill 
the waters in the seas, and let fowl 
multiply in the earth. 

23 And the evening and the 
morning were the fifth day. 

24 % And God said, n Let the 
earth bring forth the living crea- 
ture after his kind, cattle, and 
creeping thing, and beast of the 
earth after his kind: and it was so. 

25 And God made the beast of 
the earth after his kind, and cattle 
after their kind, and every thing 
that creepeth upon the earth after 
his kind: and God saw that it was 
good. 

26 H And God said, ° Let us make 
man p in our image, after cur like- 
ness : andlet them have q dominion 
over the fish of the sea, and over 
the fowl of the air, and over the 
cattle, and over all the earth, and 
over every creeping thing that 
creepeth upon the earth.

GENESIS, IX 



Man placed in Eden. 



27 So God created man in his own 
image, in the r image of God 
created he him; *male and female 
created he them. 

28 And * God blessed them, and 
God said unto them, Be M fruitful, 
and multiply, and replenish the 
earth, and subdue it; and have 
dominion over the fish of the sea, 
and over the fowl of the air, and 
over every living thing that u 
moveth upon the earth. 

29 tfAnd God said, Behold, I 
have given you every herb ^ bear- 
ing seed, which is upon the face of 
all the earth, and eveiy tree, in 
the which is the fruit of a tree 
yielding seed ; v to you it shall be 
for meat. 

30 And w to every beast of the 
earth, and * to every fowl of the 
air, and to every thing that creep- 
eth upon the earth, wherein there 
is 13 life, / have given every green 
herb for meat : and it was so. 

31 And y God saw everything that 
he had made, and, behold, it was 
very good. And the evening and 
the morning were the sixth day.

2 And ° on the seventh day God

had made. 

3 And God h blessed the seventh 
day, and sanctified it; because that

8 51" And the Lord God planted 
a 6 garden eastward in Eden ; and 
there he put the man whom he 
had formed. 

9 And out of the ground made 
the Lord God to /grow every tree 
that is pleasant to the sight and 
good for food ; g the tree of life also 
in the midst of the garden, and 
the tree of knowledge of good and 
eviL 

10 And h a river went out of Eden 
to water the garden; and from 
thence it was parted, and became 
into four heads. 

11 The name of the first is Pison : 
that is it which compasseth the 
whole land of » Havilah, where 
there is gold ; 

12 And the gold of that land is 
good: there is bdellium and the 
onyx stone. 

13 And the name of the second 
river is Gihon : the same is it that 
compasseth the whole land of * 
Ethiopia. 

14 And the name of the third 
river is J Hiddekel : that is it which 
goeth 6 toward the east of Assyria. 
And the fourth river is Euphra- 
tes. 

15 And the Lord God took 6 the 
man, and put him into the garden 
of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 

1 6 And the Lord God commanded 
the man, saying, Of every tree of 
the garden 7 thou mayest freely 
eat: 

17 But of the tree of the know- 
ledge of good and evil, thou shalt 
not eat of it : for in the day that 
thou eatest thereof 8 thou shalt 
surely die. 

18 % And the Lord God said, It 
is not good that the man should 
be alone ; I will make him an help 
9 meet for him. 

19 And out of the ground the 
Lord God formed every beast of 
the field, and every fowl of the air; 
and * brought them unto Adam to 
see what he would call them : and 
whatsoever 10 Adam called every 
living creature, that was the name 
thereof. 

20 And Adam n gave names to 
all cattle, and to the fowl of the 
air, and to every beast of the field : 
but for Adam there was not found 
an help meet for him. 

21 And the Lord God caused a 
deep l sleep to fall upon Adam, 
and he slept : and he took one of

22 And the rib, which the Lord 
God had taken from man, 12 made

unto the man. 

23 And Adam said, This is now

the man and his wife, and were 
not q ashamed. 

CHAPTEE LTL 

1 The serpent deceiveth Eve. 6 Man's fall: 
9 God arraigneth them. 14 The serpent 
cursed; his overthrow by the woman'.* 
seed. 16 Mankind's punishment; and 
loss of paradise. 

NOW the serpent was more 
subtil a than any beast of the 
field which the Lord God had 
made. And he said unto the 
woman, Tea, l hath God said, Ye 
shall not eat of every tree of the 
garden? 

2 And the woman said unto the 
serpent, "We may eat of the fruit 
of the trees of the garden : 

3 But 6 of the fruit of the tree 
which is in the midst of the garden. 
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of 
it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye 
die. 

4 And the serpent said unto the 
woman, c Ye shall not surely die: 

5 For God doth know that in the 
day ye eat thereof, then your eyes 
shall be opened, and ye shall be as 
gods, knowing good and evil. 

6 And when the woman saw that 
the tree was good for food, and that 
it was 2 pleasant to the eyes, and a 
tree to be desired to make one 
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, 
and did eat, and gave also unto 
her husband with her; d and he 
did eat. 

7 And the eyes of them both were 
opened, and they knew that they 
were naked; and they sewed fig 
leaves together, and made them- 
selves 3 aprons. 

8 And they heard the voice e of 
the Lord God walking in the gar- 
den in the i cool of the day : and 
Adam and his wife / hid them- 
selves from the presence of the 
Lord God amongst the trees of the 
garden.

9 And the Lord God called unto 
Adam, and said unto him, 9 Where 
art thou ? 

10 And he said, I heard thy voice 
in the garden, and h I was afraid, 
because I was naked; and I hid 
myself 

11 And he said, Who told thee 
that thou wast naked ? Hast thou 
eaten of the tree, whereof I com- 
manded thee that thou shouldest 
not eat ? 

12 And the man said, * The wo- 
man whom thou gavest to be with 
me, she gave me of the tree, and I 
did eat. 

13 And the Lord God said unto 
the woman, What is this that thou 
hast done ? And the woman said, 
The serpent beguiled me, and I 
did eat. 

14 And the Lord God said unto 
the serpent.Because thou hast done 
this, thou art cursed above all cat- 
tle, and above every beast of the 
field; upon thy belly shaft thou 
go, and i dust shalt thou eat all 
the days of thy life : 

15 And I will put s enmity be- 
tween thee and the woman, and 
between thy seed and her seed; 
it l shall bruise thy head, and thou 
shalt bruise his heel. 

16 Unto the woman he said. I 
will greatly multiply thy sorrow 
and thy conception ; in "* sorrow 
thou shalt bring forth children; 
and thy desire shall be 5 to thy hus- 
band, and he shall rule over thee. 

17 And unto Adam he said, Be- 
cause thou hast hearkened unto 
the voice of thy wife, and hast 
eaten of the tree, of which I com- 
manded thee, saying, Thou shalt 
not eat of it : cursed is the ground 
for thy sake; n in sorrow shalt thou 
eat of it all the days of thy life ; 

18 Thorns also and thistles shall 
it 6 bring forth to thee; and thou 
shalt eat the herb of the field ; 

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt 
thou eat bread, till thou return 
unto the ground; for out of it wast 
thou taken: for dust thou art, ° and 
unto dust shalt thou return. 

20 And Adam called his wife's 
name 7 Eve; because she was the 
mother of all living. 

21 Unto Adam also and to his 
wife did the Lord God make coats 
of skins, and clothed them.

2 Abel. And Abel was a 3 keeper

3 And 4 in process of time it came 
to pass, that Cain brought of the 
fruit of the ground an offering 
unto the Lord. 

4 And Abel, he also brought of 
the ° firstlings of his 5 flock and of 
the fat thereof. And the Lord 
had 6 respect unto Abel and to his 
offering: 

5 But c unto Cain and to his 
offering he had not respect. And 
Cain was very wroth, and his 
countenance fell. 

6 And the Lord said unto Cain, 
Why art thou wroth? and why is 
thy countenance fallen? 

7 If thou doest well, shalt thou 
not s be accepted? and if thou 
doest not well, sin lieth at the 
door. And 7 unto thee shall be his

8 And Cain talked with Abel his

they were in the field, that Cain 
rose up against Abel his brother,

9 And the Lord said unto Cain, 
Where is Abel thy brother? And

when the sons of God came in un- 
to the daughters of men, and they 
bare children to them, ( the same 
became mighty men which were of 
old, men of renown. 

5 51 And 6 God saw that the 
wickedness of man was great in 
the earth, and that l every / ima- 
gination of the thoughts of his 
heart was only evil 2 continually. 

6 And it 9 repented the Lord that 
he had made man on the earth, 
and it h grieved him at his heart. 

7 And the Lord said, I will de- 
stroy man whom I have created 
from the face of the earth ; 3 both 
man, and beast, and the creeping 
thing, and the fowls of the air ; for 
it repenteth me that I have made

4 perfect in his generations, and

fore God, and the earth was filled

earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; 
for all flesh had corrupted his way 
upon the earth. 

13 And God said unto Noah, 
The * end of all flesh is come be- 
fore me; for the earth is filled with 
violence through them; and, be- 
hold, I will destroy them 5 with 
the earth. 

14 Make thee an ark of gopher 
wood; 6 rooms shalt thou make in 
the ark, and shalt pitch it within 
and without with pitch. 

15 And this is the fashion which 
thou shalt make it of; The length 
of the ark shall be three hundred 
cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, 
and the height of it thirty cubits. 

16 A window shalt thou make to 
the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou 
finish it above; and the door of the 
ark shalt thou set in the side 
thereof; with lower, second, and 
third stories shalt thou make it. 

17 And, l behold, I, even I, do 
bring a flood of waters upon the 
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein 
is the breath of life, from under 
heaven; and every thing that is in

CHAPTER Vm. 

1 The waters asswaqe. 4 The ark resteth 
on Ararat. 13 The earth dried. 15 
Noah goeth forth of the ark, 20 buildeth 
an altar, and offereth sacrifice. 21 God 
promiseth to curse the earth no more. 

AND "God remembered Noah, 
and every living thing, and 
all the cattle that was with him in 
the ark: and God h made a wind 
to pass over the earth, and the 
waters asswaged; 

2 The "fountains also of the deep 
and the windows of heaven were 
stopped, and the d rain from 
heaven was restrained; 

3 And the waters returned from 
off the earth x continually: and 
after the end of e the hundred and 
fifty days the waters were abated. 

4 And the ark rested in the 
seventh month, on the seventeenth 
day of the month, upon the moun- 
tains of Ararat. 

5 And the waters 2 decreased 
continually until the tenth month: 
in the tenth month, on the first day 
of the month, were the tops of the 
mountains seen. 

6 % And it came to pass at the 
end of forty days, that Noah opened 
the /window of the ark which he 
had made: 

7 And he sent forth 9 & raven, 
which went forth 3 to and fro, un- 
til the waters were dried up from 
off the earth. 

8 Also he sent forth a dove from 
him, to see if the waters were 
abated from off the face of the 
ground; 

9 But the dove h found no rest 
for the sole of her foot, and she 
returned unto him into the ark, 
for the waters were on the face of 
the whole earth: then he put forth 
his hand, and took her, and 4 pulled 
her in unto hirn into the ar£ 

10 And he stayed yet other seven 
days; and again he sent forth the 
dove out of the ark; 

11 And the dove came in to him 
in the evening; and, lo, in her 
mouth was an * olive leaf pluckt 
off: so Noah knew that the waters 
were abated from off the earth. 

12 And he stayed yet other seven 
days; and sent forth the dove; 
which returned not again unto 
him any more. 

13 % And it came to pass in the 
six hundredth and first year, in 
the first month, the first day of the 
month, the waters were dried up 
from off the earth: and Noab

removed the covering of the ark, 
and looked, and, behold, the face 
of the ground was dry. 

14 And in the second month, on 
the seven and twentieth day of 
the month, was the earth dried. 

15 ^f And God spake unto Noah, 
saying, 

16 Go i forth of the ark, thou, and 
thy wife, and thy sons, and thy 
sons' wives with thee. 

17 Bring forth with thee every 
living thing that is with thee, of 
all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, 
and of every creeping thing that 
creepeth upon the earth; that they 
may breed abundantly in the 
earth, and k be fruitful, and multi- 
ply upon the earth. 

18 And Noah went forth, and his 
sons, and his wife, and his sons' 
wives with him : 

19 Every beast, every creeping 
thing, and every fowl, and whatso- 
ever creepeth upon the earth, after 
their 5 kinds, went forth out of the 
ark. 

20 % And Noah builded an altar 
unto the Lord ; and took of every 
clean l beast, and of every clean 
fowl, and offered burnt offerings 
on the altar. 

21 And the Lord smelled a 6 sweet 
savour ; and the Lord said in his 
heart, I will not again m curse the 
ground any more for man's sake ; 
7 for the n imagination of man's 
heart is evil from his youth; neither 
will I again ° smite any more every 
thing living, as I have done. 

22 a While the earth remaineth, 
seedtime and harvest, and cold 
and heat, and summer and winter, 
and p day and night shall not 
cease. 

CHAPTEE IX. 

1 God blesseth Noah. 4 Blood and murder 
are forbidden. 8 God's covenant, 13 
signified by the rainbow. 23 Noah is 
drunken, and mocked by Ham; 25 Tie 
pronounceth a curse on Canaan, and 
blessings on SItem and on Japketh: 29 
he dieth. 

AND a God blessed Noah and his 
sons, and said unto them, Be 
fruitful, and multiply, and replen- 
ish the earth. 

2 And 6 the fear of you and the 
dread of you shall be upon every 
beast of the earth, and upon every 
fowl of the air, upon all that moveth. 
upon the earth, and upon all the 
fishes of the sea; into your hand 
are they delivered.

green herb have I given you all

4 But flesh with d the life thereof, 
which is the blood thereof, shall ye 
not eat. 

5 And surely your blood of your 
lives will I require ; at the hand 
of e every beast will I require it, 
and at the hand of / man ; at the 
hand of every man's 9 brother will 
I require the life of man. 

6 Whoso h sheddeth man's blood, 
by man shall his blood be shed : 
for in the * image of God made he 
man. 

7 And you, be ye fruitful, and 
multiply; bring forth abundantly 
in the earth, and multiply therein. 

8 \ And God spake unto Noah, 
and to his sons with him, saying, 

9 And I, behold, I establish my 
covenant with you, and with your 
seed after you; 

10 And with i every living crea- 
ture that is with you, of the fowl, 
of the cattle, and of every beast of 
the earth with you; from all that 
go out of the ark, to every beast of 
the earth. 

11 And I will establish my cove- 
nant with you; neither shall all 
flesh be cut off any more by the 
waters of a flood; neither shall 
there any more be a * flood to de- 
stroy the earth. 

12 And God said, This is z the 
token of the covenant which I 
make between me and you and 
every living creature that is with 
you, for perpetual generations: 

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, 
and it shall be for a token of a 
covenant between me and the 
earth. 

14 And it shall come to pass, 
when I bring a cloud over the 
earth, that the bow shall be seen 
in the cloud: 

15 And I will remember my co- 
venant, which is between me and 
you and every living creature of 
all flesh ; m and the waters shall no 
more become a flood to destroy all 
flesh. 

16 And the bow shall be in the 
cloud; and I will look upon it, 
that I may remember the n ever- 
lasting covenant between God and 
every living creature of all flesh j 
that is upon the earth. 

17 And God said unto Noah, This 
is the token of the covenant, which 
I have established between me 
and all flesh that is upon the earth.

went forth of the ark, were Shem, 
and Ham, and Japheth : and Ham 
is the ° father of x Canaan. 

19 These are the three sons of 
Noah: and p of them was the 
whole earth overspread. 

20 tf And Noah began to be q an 
husbandman, and he planted a 
vineyard : 

21 And he drank of the wine, 
and r was drunken ; and he was 
uncovered within his tent. 

22 And Ham, the father of Ca- 
naan, saw the nakedness of his 
father, and told his two brethren 
without. 

23 And • Shem and Japheth took 
a garment, and laid it upon both 
their shoulders, and went back- 
ward, and covered the nakedness 
of their father; and their faces 
were backward, and they saw not 
their father's nakedness. 

24 And Noah awoke from his 
wine, and knew what his younger 
son had done unto him. 

25 Andhesaid, 'Cursed foCanaan; 
a servant of u servants shall he be 
unto his brethren. 

26 And he said, "Blessed be the 
Lord God of Shem; and Canaan 
shall be 2 his servant 

27 God shall 3 enlarge Japheth, 
and he shall w dwell in the tents 
of Shem ; and Canaan shall be his 
servant. 

28 And Noah lived after the flood 
three hundred and fifty years: 

29 And all the days of Noah were 
nine hundred and fifty years : and 
he x died. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 The generations of Noah. 2 The sons 
of Japheth, 6 and of Ham. 8 Nimrod the 
Jirst monarch. 15 The descendants of 
Canaan. 21 The sons of Shem. 

NOW these are the generations 
of the sons of Noah; Shem, 
Ham, and Japheth : and unto them 
were sons born after the flood. 

2 The a sons of Japheth ; Gomer, 
and Magog, and Madai, and Javan,

j 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he 
began to be a mighty one in the 
earth. 

9 He was a mighty hunter before 
the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even 
as Nimrod the mighty hunter 
before 6 the Lord. 

10 And the beginning of his 
kingdom c was 3 Babel, and Erech, 
and Accad, and Calneh, in the 
land of Shinar. 

11 Out of that land i went forth 
Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and 
5 the city Behoboth, and Calah, 

12 And Besen between Nineveh 
and Calah: the same is a great 
city.

Naphtuhim, 

14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, 
( d out of whom came Philistim,) 
and Caphtorim.

Amorite, and the Girgasite, 

17 And the Hivite, and the Ar- 
kite, and the Sinite, 

18 And the Arvadite, and the

and afterward were the families

19 And e the border of theCanaan- 
ites was from Sidon, as thou comest 
to Gerar, unto 7 Gaza; as thou goest, 
unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and 
Admah, and Zeboim, even unto

20 These are the sons of Ham,

28 And Obal, and Abimael, and

30 And their dwelling was from 
Mesha, as thou goest, unto Sephar, 
a mount of the east. 

31 These are the sons of Shem, 
after their families, after their 
tongues, in their lands, after their 
nations. 

32 These f are tbe families of the 
sons of Noah after their genera- 
tions, in their nations : 1 and by 
these were tbe nations divided in 
the earth after the flood.

1 One language in the world. 3 The build- 
ing of Babel, and confusion of tongues. 
10 The generations of Sliem, 27 and of 
Terah. 31 Terah goeth from XJr to 
Haran. 

AND the whole earth a was of 
one 1 language, and of one 

2 speech. 

2 And it came to pass, as they 
journeyed 3 from the east, that they 
found a plain in the land of b Shi- 
nar; and they dwelt there. 

3 And i they said one to another, 
Go to, let us make brick, and 
6 burn them throughly. And they 
had brick for stone, and slime had 
they for mortar. 

4 And they said, Go to, let us. 
build us a city, and a tower wbose 
top 6 mag reach c unto heaven; and 
let us make us d a name, lest we 
be e scattered abroad upon the face 
of the whole earth. 

5 And / the Lord came down to 
see the city and the tower, which 
the children of men builded. 

6 And the Lord said, Behold, the 
people is one, and they have all 
one language; and this they begin 
to do: and now nothing will be 
restrained from them, which they 
have 9 imagined to do. 

7 Go to, A let us go down, and 
there confound their language, 
that they may *not understand 
one another's speech. 

8 So the Lord scattered them 
abroad from thence •? upon the face 
of all the earth: and they left oft' 
to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it

did there confound the language 
of all the earth: and from thence 
did the Lord scatter them abroad 
upon the face of all the earth. 

10 ^f These are the generations of 
Shem: l Shem was an hundred 
years old, and begat Arphaxad 
two years after the flood: 

11 And Shem lived after he 
begat Arphaxad five hundred 
years, and begat sons and

12 And Arphaxad lived five and 
thirty years, and begat m Salah: 

13 And Arphaxad lived after he 
begat Salah four hundred and 
three years, and begat sons and 
daughters. 

14 And Salah lived thirty years, 
and begat Eber: 

15 And Salah lived after he 
begat Eber four hundred and three 
years, andbegat sons and daughters. 

16 And "Eber lived four and 
thirty years, and begat 8 Peleg: 

17 And Eber lived after he 
begat Peleg four hundred and 
thirty years, and begat sons and 
daughters. 

18 And Peleg lived thirty years, 
and begat 9 Reu: 

19 And Peleg lived after he 
begat Reu two hunched and nine 
years, and begat sons and 
daughters. 

20 And Reu lived two and thirty 
years, and begat l0 Serug: 

21 And Reu lived after he begat 
Serug two hundred and seven 
years, and begat sons and 
daughters. 

22 And Serug lived thirty years, 
and begat Nahor: 

23 And Semg lived after he 
begat Nahor two hundred years,

24 And Nabor lived nine and 
twenty years, and begat u Terah: 

25 And Nahor lived after he 
begat Terah an hundred and 
nineteen years, and begat sons and 
daughters. 

26 And Terah lived seventy 
years, and begat ° Abram, Nahor, 
and Haran. 

27 % Now these are the generations 
of Terah: Terah begat Abram, 
Nahor, and Haran; and Haran 
begat p Lot. 

28 And Haran died before his 
father Terah in the land of his 
nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 

29 And Abram and Nahor took

them wives: the name of Abram's 
wife was s Sarai; and the name of 
Nahor's wife, r Milcah, the daugh- 
ter of Haran, the father of Milcah, 
and the father of Iscah. 

30 But Sarai was * barren; she 
had no child. 

31 And Terah took Abram his 
son, and Lot the son of Haran his 
son's son, and Sarai his daughter- 
in-law, his son Abram's wife; and 
they ' went forth with them from 
Ur of the Chaldees, to go into 
the land of u Canaan; and they 
came unto 12 Haran, and dwelt 
there. 

32 And the days of Terah were 
two hundred and five years: and 
Terah died in Haran. 

CHAPTER XIL 

1 God caUeth Abram, andUesseth Mm with 
a promise of Christ: 4 lie departs from 
Haran. G Canaan promised. 

NOW the a Lord had said unto 
Abram, Get thee out of thy 
country, and from thy kindred, 
and from thy father's house, unto 
a land that I will show thee: 

2 And I will make of thee 6 a 
great nation, and I will bless thee, 
and make thy name great; and 
thou shalt be a blessing: 

3 And I will c bless them that 
bless thee, and curse him that 
curseth thee: and d in thee shall 
all families of the earth be blessed. 

4 So Abram departed, as the 
Lord had spoken unto him; and 
Lot went with him: and Abram 
was seventy and five years old 
when he departed out of Haran. 

5 And Abram took Sarai his 
wife, and Lot his brother's son, and 
all their substance that they had 
gathered, and the souls that they 
had gotten in 'Haran; and they 
went forth to go / into the land of 
Canaan; and into the land of 
Canaan they came. 

6 f" And Abram passed through 
the land unto the place of 1 Sichem, 
unto the plain of 9 Moreh. And 
the Canaanite was then in the 
land. 

7 And the Lord h appeared unto 
Abram, and said, f Unto thy seed 
will I give this land: and there 
builded he an i altar unto the

9 And Abram journeyed, 3 going 
on * still toward the south. 

10 ^[ And there was { a famine in 
the land: and Abram m went down 
into Egypt to sojourn there; for 
the famine was ,4 grievous in the 
land. 

11 And it came to pass, when 
he was come near to enter into 
Egypt, that he said unto Sarai 
his wife, Behold now, I know that 
thou art a °fair woman to look 
upon: 

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, 
when the Egyptians shall see thee, 
that they shall say, This is his wife: 
and they p will kill me, but they 
will save thee alive. 

13 Say, q I pray thee, r thou art my 
sister: that it may be well with me 
for thy sake; and my soul shall 
live because of thee. 

14 f And it came to pass, that, 
when Abram was come into Egypt, 
the Egyptians beheld the woman, 
that she was very fair. 

15 The 6 princes also of Pharaoh 
saw her, and commended her be- 
fore Pharaoh: and the woman was 
taken into Pharaoh's house. 

16 And he entreated Abram well 
for her sake: and he had sheep, and 
oxen, and he-asses, and men- 
servants, and maid-servants, and 
she-asses, and camels. 

17 And the Lord t plagued Pha- 
raoh and his house with great 
plagues because of Sarai, Abram's 
wife. 

18 And Pharaoh called Abram, 
and said, tt What is this that thou 
hast done unto me ? why didst 
thou not tell me that she was thy 
wife? 

19 Why saiclst thou, She is my 
sister ? so I might have taken her 
to me to wife : now therefore be- 
hold thy wife, take her, and go thy 
way. 

20 And Pharaoh commanded 
his men concerning him : and they 
sent him away, and his wife, and 
all that he had.

GENESIS, XIV. The battle of the Icings in Siddim. 



2 And Abram was a very rich in 
cattle, in silver, and in gold. 

3 And he went on his journeys 
from the south even to Beth-el, 
unto the place where his tent had 
been at the beginning, between 
Beth -el and Hai ; 

4 Unto the place of the 6 altar, 
which he had made there at the 
first : and there Abram called on 
the name of the Lord. 

5 ^ And Lot also, which went 
with Abram, had flocks, and herds, 
and tents. 

6 And the land was e not able to 
bear them, that they might dwell 
together: for their substance was 
great, so that they could not dwell 
together. 

7 And there was a d strife between 
the herdmen of Abram' s cattle and 
the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And 
the Canaanite and the Perizzdte 
dwelt then in the land. 

8 And Abram said unto Lot, "Let 
there be no strife, I pray thee, be- 
tween me and thee, and between 
my herdmen and thy herdmen; 
for we be l brethren. 

9 Is f not the whole land before 
thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, 
from me : 9 if thou wilt take the left 
hand, then I will go to the right ; 
or if thou depart to the right hand, 
then I will go to the left. 

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, 
and h beheld all the * plain of Jor- 
dan, that it was well watered every 
where, before the Lord i destroyed 
Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the 
garden of the Lord, like the land 
of Egypt, as thou comest *unto 
Zoar. 

11 Then Lot chose him all the 
plain of Jordan ; and Lot j ourneyed 
east: and they separated them- 
selves the one from the other. 

12 Abram dwelt in the land of 
Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the 
cities l of the plain, and pitched 
his tent toward Sodom. 

13 But m the men of Sodom were 
wicked and n sinners before the 
Lord exceedingly. 

14 U And the Lord said unto 
Abram, after that Lot was sepa- 
rated from him, ° Lift up now 
thine eyes, and look from the 
place where thou art* northward, 
and southward, and eastward, and 
westward ; 

15 For all the land which thou 
seest, to thee will I give it, and to 
thy q seed for ever.

1 The battle of four kings against five. 
12 Lot taken prisoner, 1'4 is rescued by

20 Abram giveth him tithes. 

AND it came to pass in the days 
of Amraphel king of ° Shinar, 
Arioch king of EUasar, Chedorlao- 
mer king of b Elani, and Tidal king 
of nations; 

2 That these c made war with Bera 
king of Sodom, and with Birsha 
king of Gomorrah, Shinab king 
of d Admah, and Shemeber king of 
Zeboiirn, and the king of Bela, 
which is e Zoar. 

3 All these were joined together 
in the vale of Siddim,/ which is 
the salt sea. 

4 Twelve years they served Che- 
dorlaomer, and in the thirteenth 
year they rebelled. 

5 And in the fourteenth year came 
Chedorlaomer, and the kings that 
were with him, and smote the Be- 
phaims in Aehteroth Karnaim, and 
the Zuzims in Ham, and the 
Emims in x Shaveh Kiriathaim, 

6 And the Horites in their mount 
Seir, unto 2 El-paran, which is by 
the wilderness. 

7 And they returned, and came 
to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, 
and smote all the country of the 
Amalekites, and also the Amorites, 
that dwelt in g Hazezon-tamar. 

8 And there went out the king of 
Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, 
and the king of Admah, and the 
long of Zeboiirn, and the king of 
Bela, (the same is Zoar ;) and they 
joined battle with them in the vale 
of Siddim; 

9 With Chedorlaomer the king of 
Elam, and with Tidal king of na- 
tions, and Amraphel king of Shi- 
nar, and Arioch king of EUasar ; 
four kings with five. 

10 And the vale of Siddim was 
full of h slimepits; and the kings of 
Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and 
fell there ; and they that remained 
fled to the * mountain.

GENESIS, XV. 



Abram justified by faith. 



11 And they took all the goods 
of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all 
their victuals, and went then- 
way. 

12 And they took Lot, i Abram's 
brother's son, k who dwelt in Sodom, 
and his goods, and departed. 

13 If And there came one that 
had escaped, and told Abram the 
Hebrew ; for he dwelt in the plain 
of Mamre the Amorite, brother 
of EshcoL and brother of Aner : 
and these l were confederate with 
Abram. 

14 And when Abram heard that 
his m brother was taken captive, 
he 3 armed his 4 trained servants, 
born n in his own house, three 
hundred and eighteen, and pursued 
them ° unto Dan. 

15 And he divided himself against 
them, he and his servants, by night, 
and smote them, and pursued 
them unto Hobah, which is on the 
left hand of Damascus. 

16 And p he brought back all the 
goods, and also brought again his 
brother Lot, and his goods, and 
the women also, and the people. 

17 ^ And the king of Sodom went 
out to meet him after his return 
from the slaughter of Chedorla- 
omer, and of the kings that were 
with him, at the valley of Shaveh, 
which is the q king's dale. 

18 And r Melchizedek king of 
Salem brought forth bread and 
wine: and he was the priest * of the 
most high God. 

19 And he blessed him, and said, 
Blessed be Abram of the most high 
God, possessor of heaven and 
earth: 

20 And blessed be the most high 
God, which hath delivered thine 
enemies into thy hand. And he 
gave him ' tithes of all. 

21 And the king of Sodom said 
unto Abram, Give me the 5 persons, 
and take the goods to thyself. 

22 And Abram said to the king 
of Sodom, M I have lift up mine 
hand unto the Lord, the most 
high God, v the possessor of heaven 
and earth, 

23 That I w will not take from a 
thread even to a shoelatchet, and 
that I will not take any thing that 
is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I 
have made Abram rich: 

24 Save only that which the 
young men have eaten, and the 
portion of the men which went 
with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; 
let them take their portion.

CHAPTER XV. 

I God encourageth Abram: 4 promiseth 
him a son and a numerous seed: 6 he is 
justified by faith. 7 Canaan is again 
promised, and ccmfirmed by a sign and 
a vision. 

AFTER these things the word of 
the Lord came unto Abram 
in a a vision, saying, h Fear not, 
Abram: I am thy shield, and thy 
exceeding c great reward. 

2 And Abram said, Lord God, 
what wilt thou give me, seeing I 
go childless, and the steward of my 
house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 

3 And Abram said, Behold, to 
me thou hast given no seed: and, 
lo, one born in my house is mine 
heir. 

4 And, behold, the word of the 
Lord came unto him, saying, This 
shall not be thine hen; but he that 
shall d come forth out of thine own 
bowels shall be thine heir. 

5 And he brought him forth 
abroad, and said, Look now to- 
ward heaven, and 6 tell the stars. 
if thou be able to number them: 
and he said unto him,/ So shall 
thy seed be. 

6 And 9 he believed in the Lord; 
and he h counted it to him for 
righteousness. 

7 And he said unto him, I am the 
Lord that * brought thee out of Ur 
of the Chaldees, to give thee this 
land to inherit it. 

8 And he said, Lord God, ^whereby 
shall I know that I shall inherit it? 

9 And he said unto him, Take me 
an heifer of three years old, and a 
she-goat of three years old, and a 
ram of three years old, and a turtle- 
dove, and a young pigeon. 

10 And he took unto him all 
these, and divided them in the 
midst, and laid each piece one 
against another : but the birds 
divided he not. 

II And when the fowls came 
down upon the carcases, Abram 
drove them away. 

12 And when the sun was going 
down, a k deep sleep fell upon 
Abram; and, lo, an horror of great 
darkness fell upon him. 

13 And he said unto Abram, 
Know of a surety that l thy seed 
shall be a stranger in a land that is 
not theirs, and shall serve them; 
and they shall m afflict them "four 
hundred years; 

14 And also ° that nation, whom 
they shall serve, will I judge: and 
afterward shall they come out with 
great substance.

IS In that same day the Lord 
made a covenant with Abram, 
saying, Unto thy seed r have I

Egypt unto the great river, the 
river Euphrates: 

19 The Kenites, and the Keniz-

2 And Sarai said unto Abram, 
Behold now, the Lord hath b re- 
strained me from bearing: I pray 
thee, go in unto my maid; it may 
be that I may 2 obtain cliildren by 
her. And Abram hearkened to 
the voice of Sarai. 

3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took 
Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, 
after Abram had dwelt ten years 
in the land of Canaan, and gave 
her to her husband Abram to be 
his wife. 

4 And he went in unto Hagar. 
and she conceived: and when she 
saw that she had conceived, her 
mistress was c despised in her eyes. 

5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My 
wrong be upon thee: I have given 
my maid into thy bosom; and 
when she saw that she had con- 
ceived, I was despised in her eyes:

Behold, thy maid is in thy hand;

the land of Canaan, for an ever- 
lasting possession; and /I will be 
their God. 

9 *} And God said unto Abraham. 
Thou 9 shalt keep my covenant 
therefore, thou, and thy seed after 
thee in then generations, 

10 This is my covenant, which ye 
shall keep, between me and you 
and thy seed after thee; Every 
man-child among you shall be cir- 
cumcised. 

11 And h ye shall circumcise the 
flesh of your foreskin; and it shall 
be a token of the covenant betwixt 
me and you. 

12 And" 5 he that is eight days old 
shall be circumcised among you. 
every man-child in your genera- 
tions, he that is born 'in the house, 
or bought with money of any 
stranger, which is not of thy 
seed. 

13 He that is born in thy house, 
and he that is bought with thy 
money, must needs be circumcised: 
and my covenant shall be in your 
flesh for an everlasting covenant 

11 And the uncircumcised man- 
child, whose flesh of his foreskin 
is not circumcised, that soul shah 
be ' cut off from his people; he hath 
broken my covenant. 

15 T And God said unto Abra- 
ham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou 
shalt not call her name Sarai but 

oh shall her name be. 

16 And I will bless her, and J give 
thee a son also of her : yea, I will 
bless her, and ' she shall be am other 
of nations; kings of people shall be 
of her. 

17 Then Abraham fell upon his 
face, and h laughed, and said in 
his heart, Shall a diild be born un- 
to him that is an hundred years 
old? and shall ' Sarah, that is ninety 
years old, bear? 

IS And Abraham said unto God. ] 
that Ishmael might live before 
thee!

Jjl him in the plains of Alamre:

2 And he lift up his eyes and 
looked, and, lo, l three men stool

he e ran to meet them from the

toward the ground, 

3 And said, My Lord, if now I

4 Let a little water, I pray you,

therefore 2 are ye come to your 
servant. And they said, So do, as 
thou hast said. 

6 And Abraham hastened into 
the tent unto Sarah, and said, 
3 Make ready quickly three meas- 
ures of fine meal, knead it, and 
make cakes upon the hearth. 

7 And Abraham ran unto the 
herd, and fetched a calf tender 
and good, and gave it unto a 
young man; and he hasted to dress 
it. 

8 And he took butter, and milk, 
and the calf which he had dressed, 
and set it before them; and he 
stood by them under the tree, and 
they did eat. 

9 51 And they said unto him, 
Where is Sarah thy wife? And he 
said, Behold, e in the tent 

10 And he said, I will certainly 
return unto thee according to the 
time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife 
shall have /a son. And Sarah 
heard it in the tent door, which 
was behind him. 

11 Now Abraham and Sarah 
were 9 old and well stricken in age; 
and it ceased to be with Sarah 
after the h manner of women. 

12 Therefore Sarah laughed 
within herself, saying, * After I am 
waxed old shall I have pleasure, 
my 3 lord being old also? 

13 And the Lord said unto Abra- 
ham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, 
saying, Shall I of a surety bear a 
child, which am old? 

14 Is any thing * too hard for the 
Lord? At the time appointed I 
will return unto thee, according to 
the time of life, and Sarah shall 
have a son. 

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, 
I laughed not; for she was afraid. 
And he said, Nay; but thou didst 
laugh. 

16 ^ And the men rose up from 
thence, and looked toward Sodom: 
and Abraham went with them 
to bring them on the way. 

17 And the Lord said, * Shall I 
hide from Abraham that thing 
which I do; 

18 Seeing that Abraham shall 
surely become a great and mighty 
nation, and all the nations of the 
earth shall m be blessed in him? 

19 For I know him, that he n will 
command his children and his 
household after him, and they 
shall keep the way of the Lord, to

him. 

20 And the Lord said, Because 
the ° cry of Sodom and Gomorrah 
is great, and because their sin is 
very grievous, 

21 I will go down now, v and see 
whether they have done altogether 
according to the cry of it, which is 
come unto me; and if not, I will 
know. 

22 And the men turned their 
faces from thence, and went to- 
ward Sodom: but Abraham stood 
yet before the q Lord. 

23 <b And Abraham drew near, 
and said, r Wilt thou also destroy 
the righteous with the wicked? 

24 Peradventure there be 8 fifty 
righteous within the city: wilt thou 
also destroy and not spare the 
place for the fifty righteous that 
are therein? 

25 That be far from thee to do 
after this manner, to slay the 
righteous with the wicked: and 
that the ' righteous should be as 
the wicked, that be far from thee: 
Shall w not the Judge of all the 
earth do right? 

26 And the Lord said, "If I find 
in Sodom fifty righteous within 
the city, then I will spare all the 
place for their sakes. 

27 And Abraham answered and 
said, w Behold now, I have taken 
upon me to speak unto the Lord 
which am but x dust and ashes: 

28 Peradventure there shall lack 
five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou 
destroy all the city for lack of 
five? And he said, If I find there 
forty and five, I will not destroy 
it. 

29 And he spake unto him y yet 
again, and said, Peradventure 
there shall be forty found there. 
And he said, I will not do it for 
forty's sake. 

30 And he said unto Urn, z Oh let 
not the Lord be angry, and I will 
speak! Peradventure there shall 
thirty be found there. And he 
said, I will not do it if I find thirty 
there. 

31 And he said, Behold now, a I 
have taken upon me to speak unto 
the Lord: Peradventure there shall 
be twenty found there. And he 
said, I will not destroy it for 
twenty's sake. 

32 And he said, b Oh let not the 
Lord be angry, and I will speak 
yet but this once! Peradventure 

I ten shall be found there. And he

33 And the Lord went his way, 
as soon as he had left communing 
with Abraham: and Abraham re- 
turned unto his place.

vicious Sodomites stricken icith blind- 
ness. 17 He is directed to flee to the 
mountain. 24 Sodom and Gomorrah 
destroyed. 26 Lot's wife punished. 31 
Origin of Moab and Ammo'n. 

AND there came a two angels to 
Sodom at even; and Lot sat in 
the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing 
them rose up to meet them; and he 
bowed himself with his face toward 
the ground; 

2 And he said, Behold now, my 
lords, h turn in, I pray you, into 
your servant's house, and tarry all 
night, and wash your feet, and ye 
shall rise up early, and go on your 
ways. And they said, Nay; c but 
we will abide in the street all 
night. 

3 And he pressed upon them 
greatly; and they turned in unto 
him, and entered into his house; 
and d he made them a feast, and 
did bake unleavened bread, and 
they did eat. 

4 % But, before they lay down, 
the men of the city, even the men 
of Sodom, compassed the house 
round, both old and young, all the 
people from every quarter: 

5 And e they called unto Lot, and 
said unto him, /Where are the 
men which came in to thee this 
night? bring them out unto us, 
that we may know them. 

6 And 9 Lot went out at the door 
unto them, and shut the door 
after him, 

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, 
do not so wickedly. 

S Behold now, I have two daugh- 
ters which have not known man; 
let me, I pray you, bring them out 
unto you, and do ye to them as is 
j good in your eyes: only unto these 
! men do nothing; for A therefore 
came they under the shadow of 
my roof. 

9 And they said, Stand back. 
And they said again, ^This one 
fellow came in to sojourn, and he 
will needs be a judge: now will we 
deal worse with thee than with 
them. And they pressed sore upon 
the man, even Lot, and came near 
to break the door.

door. 

11 And they smote the men that 
were at the door of the house ■?' with 
blindness, both small and great; 
so that they wearied themselves 
to find the door. 

12 ^ And the men said unto Lot, 
Hast k thou here any besides? son. 
in-law, and thy sons, and thy 
daughters, and whatsoever thou 
hast in the city, l bring them out of 
this place: 

13 For we will destroy this place, 
because the cry of them is waxen 
great before the face of the Lord; 
and the Lord hath m sent us to 
destroy it. 

14 And Lot went out, and spake 
unto his sons-in-law, which 
married n his daughters, and said, 
Up, ° get you out of this place; for 
the Lord will destroy this city. 
But he seemed ^as one that 
mocked unto his sons-in-law. 

15 % And when the morning 
arose, then the angels hastened 
Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, 
and thy two daughters, which 
1 are here; lest thou be consumed 
in 2 the iniquity of the city. 

16 And, while he lingered, the 
men laid hold upon his hand, and 
upon the hand of his wife, and 
upon the hand of his two daugh- 
ters; ? the Lord being merciful 
unto him: and they brought him 
forth, and set him without the 
city. 

17 And it came to pass, when 
they had brought them forth 
abroad, that he said, r Escape for 
thy life; s look not behind thee, 
neither stay thou in all the plain; 
escape to the mountain, lest thou 
be consumed. 

18 And Lot said unto them, Oh! 
not so, my lord: 

19 Behold now, thy servant hath 
found grace in thy sight, and * thou 
hast magnified thy mercy, which 
thou hast showed unto me in sav- 
ing my life; and I cannot escape 
to the mountain, lest some evil 
take me, and I die: 

20 Behold now, this city is near 
to flee unto, and it is a little one: 
Oh! let me escape thither, (is it not 
a little one?) and my soul shall 
five. 

21 And he said unto him, See, I 
have accepted 3 thee concerning 
this thing also, that I will not 
overthrow this city, for the which 
thou hast spoken. 



Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed. GENESIS, XX. 



Abraham denieth his wife. 



22 Haste thee, escape thither; for 
I cannot do any thing till thou 
be come thither. Therefore the 
name of the city was u called 
4 Zoar. 

23 The sun was 5 risen upon the 
earth when Lot entered into 
Zoar. 

24 Then " the Lord rained upon 
Sodom and upon Gomorrah brim- 
stone and fire from the Lord out 
of heaven ; 

25 And he overthrew those cities, 
and all w the plain, and all the in- 
habitants of the cities, and tbat 
which grew upon the ground. 

26 But his wife x looked back 
from behind him, and she became 
a pillar of salt. 

27 And Abraham gat up early in 
the morning to the place where 
he y stood before the Lord: 

28 And he looked toward Sodom 
and Gomorrah, and toward all the 
land of the plain, and beheld, and, 
lo, z the smoke of the country went 
up as the smoke of a furnace. 

29 *H And it came to pass, when 
God destroyed the cities of the 
plain, that God a remembered 
Abraham, and sent Lot out of the 
midst of the overthrow, when he 
overthrew the cities in the which 
Lot dwelt. 

30 % And Lot went up out of 
Zoar, and b dwelt in the mountain, 
and his two daughters with him ; 
for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and 
he dwelt in a cave, he and liis two 
daughters.

sister? and she, evenshe herself said, 
He is my brother: in the 2 integ- 
rity of my heart, and innocency of 
my hands, have I done this. 

6 And God said unto him in a 
dream. Yea, I know that thou 
didst this in the integrity of thy 
heart; for I also * withheld thee 
from sinning against me: therefore 
suffered I thee not to touch her. 

7 Now therefore restore the man 
his wife; for he is a prophet, and 
he f shall pray for thee, and thou 
shalt Hve: and if thou restore her 
not, know thou that thou shalt 
surely die, thou, and all that are 
thine. 

8 Therefore Abimelech rose early 
in the morning, and caHed all his 
servants, and told all these things 
in their ears: and the men were 
sore afraid. 

9 Then Abimelech called Abra- 
ham, and said unto him, What 
hast thou done unto us? and what 
have I offended thee, that thou 
hast brought on me and on my 



The birth of Isaac. 



GENESIS, XXL

kingdom *a great sin? thou hast 
done deeds unto me that ought 
not to be done. 

10 And Abimelech said unto 
Abraham, What sawest thou, that 
thou hast done this thing? 

11 And Abraham said, Because I 
thought, l Surely the fear of God is 
not in this place; and they will 
slay me for my wife's sake. 

12 And m yet indeed she is my 
sister; she is the daughter of my 
father, but not the daughter of my 
mother; and she became my wife. 

13 And it came to pass, when 
God n caused me to wander from 
my father's house, that I said unto 
her, This is thy kindness which 
thou shalt show unto me; at every 
place whither we shall come, say 
of me, ° He is my brother. 

14 And Abimelech took F sheep, 
and oxen, and men-servants, and 
women-servants, and gave them 
unto Abraham, and restored him 
Sarah his wife. 

15 And Abimelech said, q Behold, 
iny land w before thee: dwell 3 where 
it pleaseth thee. 

16 And unto Sarah he said, Be- 
hold, I have given thy r brother a 
thousand pieces of silver : behold, 
he is to thee a covering of the 
eyes, unto ad that are with thee, 
and with aU oilier: thus she was 
reproved. 

17 So Abraham * prayed imto 
God: and God healed Abimelech, 
and his wife, and' his maid-ser- 
vants; and they bare children. 

18 For the Lord had ' fast closed 
up all the wombs of the house 
of Abimelech because of Sarah, 
Abraham's wife.

6 And Sarah said, /God hath 
made me to laugh, so that all that 
hear will 9 laugh with me. 

7 And she said, Who would have 
said unto Abraham, that Sarah 
should have given children suck? 
for h I have born him a son in his 
old age. 

8 And the child grew, and was 
weaned : and Abraham made a 
great feast the same day that Isaac 
was weaned. 

9 % And Sarah saw the * son of 
Hagar the Egyptian, which she had 
born unto Abraham, 3 mocking. 

10 Wherefore she said unto Abra- 
ham, *Cast out this bond-woman 
and her son: for the son of this 
bond- woman shall not be heir 
with my son, even with Isaac. 

11 And the thing was very l grie- 
vous in Abraham's sight because of 
his son. 

12 And God said unto Abraham. 
Let it not be grievous in thy sight 
because of the lad, and because of 
thy bond- woman; in all that Sarah 
hath said unto thee, hearken unto 
her voice; for m in Isaac shall thy 
seed be called. 

13 And also n of the son of the 
bond-woman will I make a nation, 
because he is thy seed. 

14 And Abraham rose up early in 
the morning, and took bread and 
a bottle of water, and gave it unto 
Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, 
and the child, and ° sent her away. 
And she departed, and wandered 
in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. 

15 And v the water was spent in 
the bottle, and she cast the child 
under one of the shrubs. 

16 And she went, and sat her 
down over against him a good way 
off, as it were a bow-shot; for 
she said, q Let me not see the 
death of the child. And she sat 
over against him, and lift up her 
voice, and wept. 

17 And r God heard the voice of 
the lad; and the angel of God 
called to Hagar out of heaven, and 
said unto her, What aileth thee, 
Hagar? fear not; for God hath 
heard the voice of the lad where 
he is. 

18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold 
him in thine hand; for " I will 
make him a great nation. 

19 And God ' opened her eyes, 
and she saw a well of water; and 
she went and filled the bottle 
with water, and gave the lad 
drink. 



Ahmelech's covenant. 



GENESIS, XXII. 



20 And u God was with the lad; 
and he grew, and v dwelt in the 
wilderness, and became an archer. 

21 And he dwelt in the wilder- 
ness of Paran: and his mother 
took him a wife out of the w land 
of Egypt. 

22 \ And it came to pass at tha/fc 
time, that x Abimelech and Phi- 
chol the chief captain of his host 
spake unto Abraham, saying, ^God 
is with thee in all that thou doest: 

23 Now therefore * swear unto me 
here by God, l that thou wilt not 
deal falsely with me, nor with my 
son, nor with my son's son: but 
according to the kindness that I 
have done unto thee, thou shalt 
do unto me, and to the land 
wherein thou hast sojourned. 

24 And Abraham said, I will 
swear. 

25 And Abraham reproved Abi- 
melech because of a well of water, 
which Abimelech's servants had 
violently a taken away. 

26 And Abimelech said, I wot 
not who hath done this thing ; 
neither didst thou tell me, neither 
yet heard I of it, but to-day. 

27 And Abraham took sheep and 
oxen, and gave them unto Abi- 
melech; and both of them 6 made 
a covenant. 

28 And Abraham set seven ewe 
lambs of the flock by themselves. 

29 And Abimelech said unto 
Abraham, c What mean these seven 
ewe lambs which thou hast set by 
themselves? 

30 And he said, For these seven ewe 
lambs shalt thou take of my hand, 
that d they may be a witness unto 
me, that I have digged this well. 

31 Wherefore he e called that 
place 2 Beer-sheba; because there 
they sware both of them. 

32 Thus they made a covenant 
at Beer-sheba : then Abimelech 
rose up, and Phichol the chief 
captain of his host, and they 
returned into the ■''land of the 
Philistines. 

33 ^f And Abraham planted a 
3 grove in Beer-sheba, and called 
there on the name of the Lord, 
the g everlasting God. 

34 And Abraham sojourned in

Abraham, and said unto him, 
Abraham : and he said, 1 Behold, 
here I am. 

2 And he said, b Take now thy 
son, thine only son Isaac, whom 
thou lovest, and get thee into the 
land c of Moriah ; and offer him 
there for a burnt offering upon 
one of the mountains which I will 
tell thee of. 

3 And Abraham d rose up early 
in the morning, and saddled his 
ass, and took two of his young men 
with him, and Isaac his son, and 
clave the wood for the burnt offer- 
ing, and rose up, and went unto 
the place of which God had told 
him. 

4 Then on the third day Abraham 
lifted up his eyes, and saw the 
place afar off. 

5 And Abraham said unto his 
young men, Abide ye here with 
the ass; and I and the lad will go 
yonder and worship, and come 
again to you. 

6 And Abraham took the wood 
of the burnt offering, and e laid it 
upon Isaac his son ; and he tools 
the fire in his hand, and a knife ; 
and they went both of them to- 
gether. 

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham 
his father, and said, My father: 
and he said, 2 Here am I, my son. 
And he said, Behold the fire and 
the wood ; but where is the 3 lamb 
for a burnt offering ? 

8 And Abraham said, My son, 
God will provide himself/ a lamb 
for a burnt offering : so they went 
both of them together. 

9 And they came to the place 
which God had told him of; and 
Abraham built an altar there, and 
laid the wood in order, and 9 bound 
Isaac his son, and laid him on the 
altar upon the wood. 

10 And Abraham h stretched forth 
his hand, and took the knife to 
slay his son. 

11 And the angel of the Lord 
called unto him out of heaven, 
and said, Abraham, Abraham: 
and he said, Here am I. 

12 And he said, * Lay not thine 
hand upon the lad, neither do thou 
anything unto him: for now-?' I 
know that thou fearest God, seeing 
thou hast not withheld thy son, 
thine only son, from me. 

13 And Abraham lifted up his 
eyes, and looked, and behold be- 
hind him a ram caught in a thicket 
by his horns : and Abraham went

and took the ram, and offered him 
up for a burnt offering k in the 
stead of his son. 

14 And Abraham called the name 
of that place 4 Jehovah-jireh: as it 
is said to this day, In the mount of 
the Lord it shall be seen. 

15 And the angel of the Loud 
called unto Abraham out of heaven 
the second time, 

16 And said, l By myself have I 
sworn, saith the Lord; for because 
thou hast done this thing, and hast 
not withheld thy son, thine only 
son; 

17 That in blessing I will bless 
thee, and in multiplying I will 
multiply thy seed as the m stars of 
the heaven, and as the " sand 
which is upon the sea 5 shore; and 
thy seed shall ° possess the gate of 
his enemies; 

18 And p in thy seed shall all the 
nations of the earth be blessed; 
because s thou hast obeyed my 
voice. 

19 So Abraham returned unto 
his young men, and they rose up 
and went together to Beer-sheba ; 
and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba, 

20 ^ And it came to pass after 
these things, that it was told 
Abraham, saying, Behold, r Milcah, 
she hath also bom children unto 
thy brother Nahor ; 

21 Huz s his first-born, and Buz 
his brother, and Kemuel the father 
of* Aram, 

22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and 
Pildash, and Jidlaph,andBethueL 

23 And u Bethuel begat Eebekah: 
these eight Milcah did bear to 
Nahor, Abraham's brother. 

24 And his concubine, whose 
name was Reumah, she bare also 
Tebah. and Gaham, and Thahash, 
and Maachah.

a ° burying-place with you, that I 
may bury my dead out of my 
sight. 

5 And the children of Heth an- 
swered Abraham, saying unto him, 

6 Hear us, my lord: Thou art l a 
mighty d prince among us : in the 
choice of our sepulchres bury thy 
dead ; none of us shall withhold 
from thee his sepulchre, but that 
thou mayest bury thy dead. 

7 And Abraham stood up, and 
bowed e himself to the people of 
the land, even to the children of 
Heth. 

8 And he communed with them, 
saying, If it be your mind that I 
should bury my dead out of my 
sight, hear me, and entreat for me 
to Ephron the son of Zohar, 

9 That he may give me the cave 
of Machpelah, which he hath, 
which is in the end of his field ; 
for 2 as much mgney as it is worth 
he shall give it me for a possession 
of a burying-place amongst you. 

10 And Ephron dwelt among the 
children of Heth. And Ephron 
the Hittite answered Abraham in 
the 3 audience of the children of 
Heth, even of all that went in at 
the / gate of his city, saying, 

11 Nay, 9 my lord, hear me : the 
field give I thee, and the cave that 
is therein, I give it thee; in the 
presence of the sons of my people 
give I it thee: bury thy dead. 

12 And Abraham bowed down 
himself before the people of the 
land. 

13 And he spake unto Ephron in 
the audience of the people of the 
land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, 
I pray thee, hear me: ft I will give 
thee money for the field; take it of 
me, and I will bury my dead there. 

14 And Ephron answered Abra- 
ham, saying unto him, 

15 My lord, hearken unto me: 
the land is worth four hundred 
shekels * of silver ; what is that 
betwixt me and thee? bury there- 
fore thy dead. 

16 And Abraham hearkened un- 
to Ephron; andAbraham ^weighed 
to Ephron the silver, which he had 
named in the audience of the sons 
of Heth, four hundred shekels of 
silver, current money with the mer- 
chant. 

17 And * the field of Ephron, 
which was in Machpelah, which 
was before Mamre, the field, and 
the cave which was therein, and 
all the trees that were in the field,

that were in all the borders round 
about, were made sure 
< 18 Unto Abraham for a possession 
in the presence of the children of 
Heth, before all that went in at 
the gate of his city. 

19 And after this, ' Abraham 
buried Sarah his wife in the cave 
of the field of Machpelah before 
Mamre: the same is Hebron in the 
land of Canaan. 

20 And the field, and the cave 
that is therein, were m made sure 
unto Abraham for a possession of 
a burying-place by the sons of 
Heth. 

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 AbroJiam sendeth his servant to get a 
wife for his son Isaac: 50 he obtdineth 
Hebekah; 62 Isaac meeteth her. 

AND Abraham ° was old, and 
1 well stricken in age : and the 
Lord had b blessed Abraham in all 
things. 

2 And Abraham said c unto his 
eldest servant of his house, that 
ruled d over all that he had, e Put, 
I pray thee, thy hand under my 
thigh : 

3 And I will make thee swear by 
the Lord, the God of heaven, and 
the God of the earth, that thou 
shalt •''not take a wife unto my 
son of the daughters of the Canaan- 
ites, among whom I dwell : 

4 But thou shalt go 9 unto my 
country, and to my kindred, and. 
take a wife unto my son Isaac. 

5 And the servant said unto him, 
Peradventure the woman will not 
be willing to follow me unto this 
land: must I needs bring thy son 
again unto the land from whence 
thou earnest? 

6 And Abraham said unto him, 
Beware ft thou that thou bring not 
my son thither again. 

7 The Lord God of heaven, which 
took * me from my father's house, 
and from the land of my kindred, 
and which spake unto me, and 
that sware unto me, saying, $ Unto 
thy seed will I give this land; he 
shall send k his angel before thee, 
and thou shalt take a wife unto 
my son from thence. 

8 And if the woman will not be 
willing to follow thee, then thou 
shalt l be clear from this my oath: 
only bring not my son thither 
again. 

9 And the servant put his hand 
under the thigh of Abraham his 
master, and sware to him concern- 
ing that matter.

% And the servant took ten

camels of the camels of his master, 
and departed ; 2 for all the goods 
of his master were in his hand : 
and he arose, and went to Meso- 
potamia, unto the m city of Nahor. 

11 And he made his camels to 
kneel down without the city by a 
well of water at the time of the 
evening, even the time that 

3 women n go out to draw water. 

12 And he said, ° O Lord God of 
my master Abraham, P I pray thee, 
send me good speed this day, and 
show kindness unto my master 
Abraham. 

13 Behold, I stand here by the 
well of water ; and the daughters 
of the men of the city come out to 
draw water : 

14 And let it come to pass, that 
the damsel to whom I shall say, 
Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, 
that I may drink ; and she shall 
say, Drink, and I will give thy 
camels drink also: let the same be 
she q that thou hast appointed for 
thy servant Isaac ; and r thereby 
shall I know that thou hast showed 
kindness unto my master. 

15 ^f And it came to pass, 'before 
he had done speaking, that, be* 
hold, Bebekah came out, who was 
bom to Bethuel, son of. ' Milcah, 
the wife of Nahor, Abraham's bro- 
ther, with her pitcher upon her 
shoulder. 

16 And the damsel teas M veiy 

4 fair to look upon, a virgin, neither 
had any man known her : and she 
went down to the well, and filled 
her pitcher, and came up. 

17 And the servant ran to meet 
her, and said, " Let me, I pray 
thee, drink a little water of thy 
pitcher. 

18 And she said, w Drink, my lord: 
and she hasted, and let down her 
pitcher upon her hand, and gave 
him drink. 

19 And when she had done giving 
him drink, she said, I will draw 
water for thy camels also, until they 
have done drinking. 

20 And she hasted, and emptied 
her pitcher into the trough, and 
ran again unto the well to draw 
water, and drew for all his camels. 

21 And the man x wondering at 
her held his peace, to wit whether 
the Lord had made his journey 
prosperous or not. 

22 And it came to pass, as the 
camels had done drinking, that 
the man took a golden 6 earring

of v half a shekel weight, and two 
bracelets for her hands of ten 
shekels weight of gold; 

23 And said, Whose daughter art 
thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there 
room in thy father's house for us 
to lodge in? 

24 And she said unto him, I am 
the daughter of Bethuel the son 
of Milcah, which she bare unto 
Nahor. 

25 She said moreover unto him, 
We z have both straw and pro- 
vender enough, and room to lodge 
in. 

26 And the man a bowed down 
his head, and worshipped the 
Lord. 

27 And he said, 6 Blessed he the 
Lord God of my master Abraham, 
who hath not left destitute my 
master of c his mercy and his 
truth: I being in the way, d the 
Lord led me to the house of my 
master's brethren. 

28 And the damsel ran, and told 
them of her mother's house these 
things. 

29 f And Rebekah had a brother, 
and his name was e Laban : and 
Laban ran out unto the man, unto 
the well. 

30 And it came to pass, when he 
saw the earring, and bracelets upon 
his sister's hands, and when he 
heard the words of Rebekah. his 
sister, saying, Thus spake the man 
unto me, that he came unto the 
man; and, behold, he stood by 
the camels at the well. 

31 And he said, Come in, / thou 
blessed of the Lord; wherefore 
standest thou without ? for I have 
prepared the house, and room for 
the camels. 

32 And the man came into the 
house : and he ungirded his camels, 
and 9 gave straw and provender 
for the camels, and water to wash 
his feet, and the men's feet that 
were with him. 

33 And there was set meat before 
him to eat : but he said, n I will 
not eat, until I have told mine 
errand. And he said, Speak on. 

34 And he said, I am Abraham's 
servant.

bare * a son to my master when 
she was old : and l unto him hath 
he given all that he hath. 

37 And my master OT made me 
swear, saying, Thou shalt not take 
a wife to my son of the daughters 
of the Canaanites, in whose land 
I dweU: 

38 But thou shalt go unto my 
father's house, and to my kindred, 
and take a wife unto my son. 

39 And I said unto my master, 
Peradventure the woman will not 
follow me. 

40 And n he said unto me, The 
Lord, before whom ° I walk, will 
send his v angel with thee, and 
prosper thy way; and thou shalt 
take a wife for my son of my 
kindred, and of my father's 
house: 

41 Then q shalt thou be clear 
from this my oath, when thou 
comest to my kindred; and if they 
give not thee one, thou shalt be 
clear from my oath. 

42 And I came this day unto the 
well, and said, r O Lord God of my 
master Abraham, if now thou s do 
prosper my way which I go: 

43 Behold, *I stand by the well 
of water; and it shall come to pass, 
that when the virgin cometh forth 
to draw water, and I say to her, 
Give me, I pray thee, a little water 
of thy pitcher to drink; 

44 And she say to me, K Both 
drink thou, and I will also draw 
for thy camels: let the same be the 
woman whom the Lord hath ap- 
pointed out for my master's son. 

45 And "before I had *"done 
speaking in mine heart, behold, 
Rebekah came forth with her 
pitcher on her shoulder; and she 
went down unto the well, and 
drew water: and 1 said unto her, 
Let me drink, I pray thee. 

46 And she made haste, and let 
down her pitcher from her shoulder, 
and said, Drink, and I will give 
thy camels drink also: so I drank, 
and she made the camels drink 
also. 

47 And I asked her, and said, 
Whose daughter art thou? And 
she said, The daughter of Bethuel, 
Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare 
unto him: and I put the x earring 
upon her face, and the bracelets 
upon her hands. 

48 And I y bowed down my head,

ter Abraham, which had z led me

m the light way to take my 
master's brother's daughter unto 
his son. 

49 And now if ye will °deal 
kindly and truly with my master, 
tell me: and if not, tell me; that I 
may turn to the right hand, or to 
the left. 

50 Then Laban and Bethuel 
answered aud said, 6 The thing 
proceedeth from the Lord: we 
cannot speak unto thee bad or 
good. 

51 Behold, Bebekah is c before 
thee, take her, and go, and let her 
be thy master's son's wife, as the 
Lord hath spoken. 

52 And it came to pass, that, 
when Abraham's servant heard 
their words, he worshipped the 
Lord, bowing himself to the earth. 

53 And the servant brought forth 
jewels d of silver, and c jewels of 
gold, and raiment, and gave them 
to Bebekah: he gave also to her 
brother and to her mother e pre- 
cious things. 

54 And they did eat and drink, 
he and the men that herewith him, 
and tamed all night: and they 
rose up in the morning; and he 
said, ^Send me away unto my 
master. 

55 And her brother and her 
mother said, Let the damsel abide 
■with us 7 a few days, at the least 
ten; after that she shall go. 

56 And he said unto them, Hin- 
der me not, seeing the 9 Lord 
hath prospered my way; send 
me away that I may go to my 
master. 

57 And they said, We will call 
the damsel, and enquire at her 
mouth. 

58 And they called Bebekah, and 
said unto her, Wilt thou go with 
this man? And she said, I will go. 

59 And they sent away Bebekah 
their sister, and her h nurse, and 
Abraham's servant, and his men. 

60 And they blessed Bebekah, 
and said unto her, Thou art our 
sister, be thou * the mother of thou- 
sands of millions, and let thy $ seed 
possess the gate of those -which 
hate them. 

61 % And Bebekah arose, and her 
damsels, and they rode upon the 
camels, and followed the man: and 
the servant took Bebekah, and 
went his way.

in the south country.

and blesstth Mm. 26 Abimelech's cove-

AND there was a famine in the 
land, besides ° the first famine 
that was in the days of Abraham. 
And Isaac went unto 6 Abinielech 
king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 

2 And the Lord appeared unto 
him, and said, Go not down into 
Egypt ; dwell in the c land which 
I shall tell thee of: 

3 Sojourn d in this land, and e I 
will be with thee, and / will bless 
thee ; for unto thee, and unto thy

multiply as the stars of heaven, 
and will give unto thy seed all 
these countries ; and i in thy seed 
shall all the nations of the earth 
be blessed ; 

5 Because h that Abraham obeyed 
my voice, and kept my charge, my 
commandments, my statutes, and

6 \ And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: 

7 And the men of the place asked 
him of his wile ; and he said, l She

is my sister : for ™he feared to say, 
She is my wife; lest, said he, the 
men of the place should kill me 
for Kebekah; because she was n fair 
to look upon. 

8 And it came to pass, when he 
had been there a long time, that 
Abimelech king of the Philistines 
looked out at a window, and saw, 
and, behold, Isaac was sporting 
with Rebekah his wife. 

9 And Abimelech called Isaac, 
and said, Behold, of a surety she is 
thy wife; and how saidst thou, She 
is my sister? And Isaac said unto 
him, Because I said, Lest I die for 
her. 

10 And Abimelech said, What is 
this thou hast done unto us? one 
of the people might lightly have 
lien with thy wife, and ° thou 
shouldest have brought guiltiness 
upon us. 

11 And Abimelech charged all 
his people, saying, He that ^touch- 
eth this man or his wife shall 
surely be put to death. 

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, 
and 1 received in the same year 
an q hundredfold : and the Lord 
blessed r him : 

13 And the man s waxed great, 
and 2 went forward, and grew un- 
til he became very great : 

14 For he had possession of flocks, 
and possession of herds, and great 
store of 3 servants: and the Philis- 
tines ' envied him. 

15 For all the wells u which his 
father's servants had digged in the 
days of Abraham his father, the 
Philistines had stopped them, and 
filled them with earth. 

16 And Abimelech said unto 
Isaac, Go from us; for v thou art 
much mightier than we. 

17 ^f And Isaac departed thence, 
and pitched his tent in the valley 
of Gerar, and dwelt there. 

18 And Isaac digged again the 
wells of water which they had 
digged in the days of Abraham 
his father ; for the Philistines had 
stopped them after the death of 
Abraham: w and he called then- 
names after the names by which 
his father had called them. 

19 And Isaac's servants digged in 
the valley, and found there a well 
of 4 springing water. 

20 And the herdmen of Gerar 
did x strive with Isaac's herdmen, 
saying, The water is ours: and he 
called the name of the well 5 Esek; 
because they strove with him.

21 And they digged another well, 
and strove for that also: and he 
called the name of it 6 Sitnah. 

22 And he removed from thence, 
and digged another well; and for 
that they strove not: and he called 
the name of it 7 Rehoboth; and he 
said, For now the Loud hath made 
room for us, and we shall be y fruit- 
ful in the land. 

23 And he went up from thence 
to Beer-sheba. 

24 And the Lord appeared unto 
him the same night, and said, z I 
am the God of Abraham thy 
father: a fear not, for b I am with 
thee, and will bless thee, and mul- 
tiply thy seed, for my servant 
Abraham's sake. 

25 And he c builded an altar 
there, and d called upon the name 
of the Lord, and pitched his tent 
there: and there Isaac's servants 
digged a well. 

26 *j[ Then Abimelech went to 
him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath 
one of his friends, and Phichol the 
chief captain of his army. 

27 And Isaac said unto them, 
Wherefore come ye to me, seeing 
ye e hate me, and have sent me 
away from you? 

28 And they said, 8 We saw cer- 
tainly that the Lord /was with 
thee: and we said, Let there be now 
an oath betwixt us, even betwixt 
us and thee, and let us make a 
covenant with thee; 

29 9 That thou wilt do us no hurt, 
as we have not touched thee, arid 
as we have done unto thee nothing 
but good, and have sent thee away 
in peace: 9 thou art nowthe blessed 
of the Lord. 

30 And ''he made them a feast, 
and they did eat and drink. 

31 And they rose up betimes in 
the morning, and *sware one to 
another: andlsaac sent them away, 
and they departed from him in 
peace. 

32 And it came to pass the same 
day, that Isaac's servants came, 
and told him concerning the well 
which they had digged, and said 
unto him, We have found wa-

AND it came to pass, that when 
Isaac was old, and a his eyes 
were dim, so that he could not see, 
he called Esau his eldest son, and 
said unto him, My son: and he 
said unto him, Behold, here am I. 

2 And he said, Behold now, I am 
old, 6 1 know not the day of my 
death. 

3 Now c therefore take, I pray 
thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and 
thy bow, and go out to the field, 
and x take me some venison; 

4 And make me savoury meat, 
such as I love, and bring it to me, 
that I may eat; that my soul a may 
bless thee before I die. 

5 And Bebekah heard when 
Isaac spake to Esau his son. And 
Esau went to the field to hunt for 
venison, and to bring it. 

6 % And Bebekah spake unto 
Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I 
heard thy father speak unto Esau 
thy brother, saying, 

7 Bring me venison, and make 
me savoury meat, that I may eat, 
and bless thee before the Lord be- 
fore my death. 

8 Now therefore, my son, e obey 
my voice according to that which 
I command thee. 

9 Go now to the flock, and fetch 
me from thence two good kids of 
the goats; and I will make them 
savoury /meat for thy father, such 
as he loveth: 

10 And thou shalt bring it to thy 
father, that he may eat, and that 
he ^may bless thee before his 
death. 

II And Jacob said to Bebekah 
his mother, Behold, A Esau my 
brother is a hairy man, and I am 
a smooth man: 

12 My father peradventure * will 
feel me, and I shall seem to him as 
a deceiver; and I shall bring.? a 
curse upon me, and not a blessing. 

13 And his mother said unto him, 
Upon *me be thy curse, my son: 
only obey my voice, and go fetch 
me them. 

14 And he went, and fetched, 
and brought them to his mother: 
and his mother l made savoury

which were with her in the house, 
and put them upon Jacob her 
younger son: 

16 And she put the skins of the 
kids of the goats upon his hands, 
and upon the smooth of his neck: 

17 And she gave the savoury 
meat and the bread, which she 
had prepared, into the hand of her 
son Jacob. 

18 ^ And he came unto his 
father, and said, My father: and he 
said, Here am I; who art thou, my 
son? 

19 And Jacob said unto his father, 
I am Esau thy first-born; n I have 
done according as thou badest me: 
arise, I pray "thee, sit and eat of 
my venison, "that thy soul may 
bless me. 

20 And Isaac said unto his son, 
How is it that thou hast found it 
so quickly, my son? p And he said, 
Because the Lord thy God brought 
it 3 to me. 

21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, 
Come near, I pray thee, that S I 
may feel thee, my son, whether 
thou be my veiy son Esau or not. 

22 And Jacob went near unto 
Isaac his father; and he felt him, 
and said, The voice is Jacob's 
voice, but the hands are the hands 
of Esau. 

23 And he discerned him not, 
because r his hands were hairy, as 
his brother Esau's hands: so he 
blessed him. 

24 And he said, Art thou my 
very son Esau? And he said, s l 
am. 

25 And he said, Bring it near to 
me, and I will eat of my son's veni- 
son, ' that my soul may bless thee. 
And he brought it near to him, 
and he did eat: and he brought 
him wine, and he drank. 

26 And his father Isaac said unto 
him, Come near now, and kiss me, 
my son. 

27 And he came near, and kissed 
him: and he smelled the smell of 
his raiment, and blessed him, and 
said, See, u the smell of my son is 
as the smell of a field which the 
Lord hath blessed: 

28 Therefore " God give thee of 
the w dew of heaven, and the x fat- 
ness of the earth, and y plenty of 
corn and wine : 

29 Let z people serve thee, and 
nations bow down to thee: be lord

30 ^ And it came to pass, as soon 
as Isaac had made an end of bless- 
ing Jacob, and Jacob was yet 
scarce gone out from the presence 
of Isaac his father, that Esau his 
brother came in from his hunting. 

31 And he also had made savoury 
meat, and brought it unto his 
father, and said unto his father, 
Let my father arise, and c eat of 
his son's venison, that thy soul 
may bless me. 

32 And Isaac his father said unto 
him, Who art thou? And he said, 
I am thy son, thy first-born, Esau. 

33 And Isaac 4 trembled very ex- 
ceedingly, and said, Who ? where 
is he that hath 5 taken venison, 
and brought it me, and I have 
eaten of all before thou earnest, 
and have blessed him? yea, d and 
he shall be blessed. 

34 And when Esau heard the 
words of his father, 6 he cried with 
a great and exceeding bitter cry, 
and said unto his father, Bless me, 
even me also, my father! . 

35 And he said, Thy brother came 
with / subtilty, and hath taken 
away thy blessing. 

36 And he said, g Is not he rightly 
named 6 Jacob? for he hath sup- 
planted me these two times: h he 
took away my birthright; and, be- 
hold, now he hath taken away my 
blessing. And he said, Hast thou 
not reserved a blessing for me? 

37 And Isaac answered and said 
unto Esau, * Behold, I have made 
him thy lord, and all his brethren 
have I given to him for servants ; 
and with * corn and wine have I 
7 sustained him : and what shall 
I do now unto thee, my son? 

38 And Esau said unto his father, 
Hast thou but one blessing, my 
father ? bless me, even me also, O 
my father ! And Esau lifted up 
his voice, k and wept. 

39 And Isaac his father answered 
and said unto him, Behold, l thy 
dwelling shall be 8 the fatness 
of the earth, and of the dew of 
heaven from above; 

40 And by thy sword shalt thou 
live, and m shalt serve thy brother; 
and n it shall come to pass when 
thou shalt have the dominion, 
that thou shalt break his yoke

42 And these words of Esau her

Behold, thy brother Esau, as touch-

45 Until thy brother's anger turn

then I will send and fetch thee 
from thence : why should I be de-

daughters of Heth: u if Jacob take

daughters of the land, what good 
shall my life do me?

in a dream. 18 The stone at Beth-el. 20

AND Isaac called Jacob, and 
blessed a him, and charged 
him, and said unto him, Thou 
shalt not take a wife of the daugh- 
ters of Canaan. 

2 Arise, go to Padan-aram, to 
the house of Bethuel thy mother's 
father ; and take thee a wife from 
thence of the daughters of Laban 
thy mother's brother. 

3 And b God Almighty bless thee, 
and make thee fruitful, and mul-

4 And give thee c the blessing of 
Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed 
with thee; that thou mayest in- 
herit the land 2 wherein thou art

Abraham. 

5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and 
he went to Padan-aram unto La- 
ban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the 
brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and 
Esau's mother.

a wife from thence; and that, as 
he blessed him, he gave him a 
charge, saying, Thou shalt not

Canaan; 

7 And that Jacob obeyed his 
father and his mother, and was 
gone to Padan-aram; 

8 And Esau seeing e that the 
daughters of Canaan 3 pleased not 
Isaac his father; 

9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, 
and took unto the wives which he 
had t Mahalath the daughter of 
Ishmael, Abraham's son, the 9 sis- 
ter of Nebajoth, to be his wife. 

10 f And Jacob went out from 
Beer-sheba and went h toward 
Haran. 

11 And he lighted upon a certain 
place, and tarried there all night, 
because the sun was set; and he 
took of the stones of that place, 
and put them for his pillows, and 
lay down in that place to sleep. 

12 And he * dreamed, and behold 
a ladder set up on the earth, and 
the top of it reached to heaven : 
and behold i the angels of God 
ascending and descending on it. 

13 And, * behold! the Lord stood 
above it, and said, ' I am the Lord 
God of Abraham thy father, and 
the God of Isaac: m the land where- 
on thou liest, to thee will I give it, 
and to thy seed ; 

14 And * thy seed shall be as the 
dust of the earth ; and thou shalt 
* spread abroad to the ° west, and 
to the east, and to the north, and 
to the south: and in thee and p in 
thy seed shall all the families of 
the earth be blessed. 

15 And, behold, 3 1 am with thee, 
and will r keep thee in all places 
whither thou goest, and will * bring 
thee again into this land ; for * I 
will not leave thee, M until I have 
done that which I have spoken to 
thee of. 

16 fl" And Jacob awaked out of 
his sleep, and he said, Surely the 
Lord is in v this place; and I knew 
it not. 

17 And he was afraid, and said, 
How dreadful is this place! this is 
none other but the house of God, 
and this is the gate of heaven. 

18 And Jacob rose up early in 
the morning, and took the stone 
that he had put for his pillows, 
and set it up for a pillar, and 
poured oil upon the top of it.

1 Jacob, coming to the welt of Haran, 9 
meeteth Rachel, and is entertained by 
Laban: 15 he covenanteth for her, 21 
but is deceived with Leah, 28 Rachel 
also given him to wife on a new agree- 
ment. 31 Leah beareth Reuben, Simeon, 
Levi, and Judah. 

THEN Jacob 1 went on his jour- 
ney, ° and came into the land 
of the 2 people of the east. 

2 And he looked, and behold a 
well in the field, and, lo, there 
were three flocks of sheep lying by 
it; for out of that well they watered 
the flocks: and a great stone was 
upon the well's mouth. 

3 And thither were all the flocks 
gathered: and they rolled the stone 
from the well's mouth, and watered 
the sheep, and put the stone again 
upon the well's mouth in his 
place. 

4 And Jacob said unto them, My 
brethren, whence be ye? And they 
said, Of Haran are we. 

5 And he said unto them, Know 
ye Laban the son of Nahor? And 
they said, We know him. 

6 And he said unto them, 3 Is b he 
well? And they said, He is well: 
and, behold, Bachel his daughter 
cometh with the sheep. 

7 And he said, Lo, 4 it is yet high 
day, neither is it time that the 
cattle should be gathered together: 
water ye the sheep, and go and 
feed them. 

8 And they said, We cannot, un- 
til all the flocks be gathered to- 
gether, and till they roll the stone 
liorn the well's mouth; then we 
water the sheep. 

9 \ And while he yet spake with 
them, Bachel camewithherfather's 
sheep; c for she kept them. 

10 And it came to pass, when 
Jacob saw Bachel the daughter of 
Laban his mother's brother, and 
the sheep of Laban his mother's 
brother, that Jacob went near,

and d rolled the stone from the 
well's mouth, and watered the 
flock of Laban his mother's 
brother. 

11 And Jacob e kissed Eachel, 
and lifted up his voice, and wept. 

12 And Jacob told Eachel that 
he was /her father's brother, and 
that he was Kebekah's son: 9 and 
she ran and told her father. 

13 And it came to pass, when 
Laban heard the 5 tidings of Ja- 
cob his sister's son, that h he ran 
to meet him, and embraced him, 
and kissed him, and brought him 
to his house. And he told Laban 
all these things. 

14 And Laban said to him, 
Surely * thou art my bone and my 
flesh. And he abode with him 
6 the space of a month. 

15 ^ And Laban said unto Jacob, 
Because thou art my brother, 
shouldest thou therefore serve me 
for nought? tell me, what shall thy 
wages be? 

16 And Laban had two daugh- 
ters: the name of the elder was 
Leah, and the name of the younger 
was Kachel. 

17 Leah was tender-eyed; but 
Rachel was beautiful and well 
favoured. 

18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and 
said, ^T will serve thee seven years 
for Rachel thy younger daughter. 

19 And Laban said, It is better 
that I give her to thee, than that 
I should give her to another man: 
abide with me. 

20 And Jacob k served seven years 
for Rachel; and they seemed unto 
him bid a few days, for l the love 
he had to her. 

21 ^f And Jacob said unto Laban, 
Give me my wife, for my days are 
fulfilled, that I may m go in unto 
her. 

22 And Laban gathered together 
all the men of the place, and made 
a n feast. 

23 And it came to pass in the 
evening, that he took Leah his 
daughter, and brought her to him; 
and he went in unto her. 

24 And Laban gave unto his 
daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for 
an handmaid. 

25 And it came to pass, that in 
the morning, behold, it was Leah: 
and he said to Laban, What is this 
thou hast done unto me? did not 
I serve with thee for Rachel? 
wherefore then hast thou beguiled 
me?

26 And Laban said, It must not 
be so done in our 7 country, to give 
the younger before the first-born. 

27 Fulfil ° her week, and we will 
give thee this also for the service 
which thou shalt serve with me 
yet seven other years. 

28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled 
her week: and he gave him Rachel 
his daughter to wife also. 

29 And Laban gave to Rachel his 
daughter Bilhah his handmaid to 
be her maid. 

30 And he went in also unto Ra- 
chel, and he loved also Rachel 
more than Leah, and served with 
him yet p seven other years. 

31 if And when the Lord q saw 
that Leah was hated, he r opened 
her womb: but Rachel was barren. 

32 And Leah conceived, and bare 
a son, and she called his name 

8 Reuben: for she said, Surely the 
Lord hath * looked upon my afflic- 
tion; now therefore my husband 
will love me. 

33 And she conceived again, and 
bare a son; and said, Because the 
Lord bath heard that I was hated, 
he hath therefore given me this 
son also: and she called his name 

9 Simeon. 

34 And she conceived again, and 
bare a son; and said, Now this time 
will my husband be joined unto 
me, because I have born him three 
sons: therefore was his name called 

10 Levi. 

35 And she conceived again, and 
bare a son: and she said, Now will 
I praise the Lord: therefore she 
called his name 11 Judah: and ^lefb

1 Rachel's grief for her barrenness: 5 
Bilhah beareth Dan and Naphtali: 9 
Zilpah bear eth Gad and Asher : 11 Leah 
beareth Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah: 
22 Rachel beareth Joseph. 25 Jacob's

AND when Rachel saw that a she 
bare Jacob no children, Rachel 
envied 6 her sister; and said unto 
Jacob, Give me children, c or else 
I die. 

2 And Jacob's anger was kindled 
against Rachel : and he said, d Am 
I in God's stead, who hath with- 
held from thee, the fruit of the 
womb? 

3 And she said, Behold 6 my maid 
Bilhah, go in unto her; / and she 
shall bear upon my knees, 9 that I 
may also l have children by her. 

4 And she gave him Bilhah her 



Birth of Jacob's children.

handmaid h to wife: and Jacob 
went in unto her. 

5 And Bilhah conceived, and hare 
Jacob a son. 

6 And Eachel said, God hath 
judged * me, and hath also heard 
my voice, and hath given me a 
son: therefore called she his name 
2 Dan. 

7 And Bilhah, Eachel's maid, con- 
ceived again, and bare Jacob a 
second son. 

8 And Eachel said, With 3 great 
wrestlings have I wrestled with my 
sister, and I have prevailed: and 
she called his-?' name 4 Naphtali. 

9 When Leah saw that she had 
left bearing, she took Zilpah her 
maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. 

10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bare 
Jacob a son. 

11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: 
and she called his name 6 Gad. 

12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bare 
Jacob a second son. 

13 And Leah said, 6 Happy am I, 
for the daughters * will call me 
blessed : and she called his name 
7 Asher. 

14 ^ And Reuben went in the 
days of wheat harvest, and found 
mandrakes l in the field, and 
brought them unto his mother 
Leah. Then Eachel said to Leah, 
Give w me, I pray thee, of thy 
son's mandrakes. 

15 And she said unto her," Is it 
a small matter that thou hast 
taken my husband ? and wouldest 
thou take away my son's man- 
drakes also? And Eachel said, 
Therefore he shall He with thee to- 
night for thy son's mandrakes. 

16 And Jacob came out of the 
field in the evening, and Leah 
went out to meet him, and said, 
Thou must come in unto me; for 
surely I have hired thee with my 
son's mandrakes. And he lay with 
her that night. 

17 And God hearkened unto 
Leah, and she conceived, and bare 
Jacob the fifth son. 

18 And Leah said, God hath given 
me my hire, because I have given 
my maiden to my husband : and 
she called his name 8 Issachar. 

19 And Leah conceived again, 
and bare Jacob the sixth son. 

20 And Leah said, God hath en- 
dued me with a good dowry; now 
will my husband dwell with me, 
because I have born him six sons i 
and she called his name 9 Zebulun.

22 % And God ° remembered 
Eachel, and God hearkened to her, 
and p opened her womb. 

23 And she conceived, and bare 
a son ; and said, God hath taken 
away 3 my reproach: 

24 And she called his name 

11 Joseph ; and said, r The Lord 
shall add to me another son. 

25 Tf And it came to pass, when 
Eachel had born Joseph, that 
Jacob said unto Laban, * Send me 
away, that I may go unto ' mine 
own place, and to my country. 

26 Give me my wives and my 
children, u for whom I have served 
thee, and let me go: for thou 
knowest my service which I have 
done thee. 

27 And Laban said unto him, I 
pray thee, if I have found favour 
in thine eyes, tarry: for v I have 
learned by experience that the 
Lord hath blessed me w for thy 
sake. 

28 And he said, x Appoint me thy 
wages, and I will give it. 

29 And he said unto him, y Thou 
knowest how I have served thee, 
and how thy cattle was with me. 

30 For it was little which thou 
hadst before I came, and it is now 

12 increased unto a multitude; and 
the Lord hath blessed thee 13 since 
my coming: and now when shall 
I provide for mine own house 
also? 

31 And he said, What shall I give 
thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt 
not give me any thing. If thou 
wilt do this thing for me, I will 
again feed and keep thy flock: 

32 I will pass through all thy flock 
to-day, removing from thence all 
the speckled and spotted cattle, 
and all the brown cattle among 
the sheep, and the spotted and 
speckled among the goats: and" of 
such shall be my hire. 

33 So shall my b righteousness 
answer for me 14 in time to come, 
when it shall come for my hire 
before thy face: every one that 
is not speckled and spotted among 
the goats, and brown among the 
sheep, that shall be counted stolen 
with me. 

34 And Laban said, Behold, I 
would it might be according to 
thy word. 

35 And he removed that day the 
he-goats that were ringstraked 
and spotted, and all the she-goats

that were speckled and spotted, 
and every one that had some white 
in it, and all the hrown among the 
sheep, and gave them into the hand 
of his sons. 

36 And he set three days' journey 
betwixt himself and Jacob : and 
Jacob fed the rest of Laban's 
flocks. 

37 % And ° Jacob took him rods 
of green poplar, and of the hazel 
and chesnut tree; and pilled white 
strakes in them, and made the 
white appear which was in the 
rods. 

38 And he set the rods which he 
had pilled before the flocks in the 
gutters in the watering troughs 
when the flocks came to drink, that 
they should conceive when they 
came to drink. 

39 And the flocks conceived be- 
fore the rods, and brought forth 
cattle ringstraked, speckled, and 
spotted. 

40 And Jacob did separate the 
lambs, and set the faces of the 
flocks toward the ringstraked and 
all the brown in the flock of La- 
ban; and he put his own flocks by 
themselves, and put them not unto 
Laban's cattle. 

41 And it came to pass, whenso- 
ever the stronger cattle did con- 
ceive, that Jacob laid the rods 
before the eyes of the cattle in the 
gutters, that they might conceive 
among the rods. 

42 But when the cattle were 
feeble, he put them, not in: so the 
feebler were Laban's, and the 
stronger Jacob's. 

43 And the man d increased ex- 
ceedingly, and e had much cattle, 
and maid-servants, and men-ser- 
vants, and camels, and asses.

Eachel and Leah to the field unto 
his flock, 

5 And said unto them, '1 see 
your father's countenance, that it 
is not toward me as before; but the 
God of my father 9 hath been with 
me. 

6 And h ye know that with all my 
power I have served your father. 

7 And your father hath deceived 
me, and * changed my wages.?' ten 
times; but God * suffered him not 
to hurt me. 

8 If he said thus, l The speckled 
shall be thy wages; then all the 
cattle bare speckled: and if he said 
thus, The ringstraked shall be thy 
hire; then bare all the cattle ring- 
straked. 

9 Thus God hath m taken away 
the cattle of your father, and given 
them to me. 

10 And it came to pass at the 
time that the cattle conceived, 
that I lifted up mine eyes, and 
saw in a dream, and, behold, the 
2 rams which leaped upon the 
cattle were ringstraked, speckled, 
and grisled. 

11 And " the augel of God spake 
unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: 
and I said, Here am I. 

12 And he said, Lift up now thine 
eyes and see, all the rams which 
leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, 
speckled, and grisled: for ° I have 
seen all that Laban doeth unto 
thee. 

13 I am the God of Beth-el/ where 
thou anointedst the pillar, and 
where thou vowedst a vow unto 
me: now q arise, get thee out from 
this land, and return unto the land 
of thy kindred. 

14 And Rachel and Leah an- 
swered and said unto him, r Is 
there yet any portion or inheritance 
for us in our father's house? 

15 Are we not counted of him 
strangers? for s he hath sold us, 
and hath quite devoured also our 
money. 

16 For all the riches which God 
hath taken from our father, thatts 
ours, and our children's: now then, 
whatsoever God hath said unto 
thee, do. 

17 IT Then Jacob rose up, and set 
his sons and his wives upon camels; 

18 And he carried away all his 
cattle, and all his goods which he 
had gotten, the cattle of his get- 
ting, which he had gotten in 
Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his 
father in the land of Canaan. 



Laban pursues 



GENESIS, XXXL 



and overtakes Jacob. 



] 9 And Laban went to shear his 
sheep : and Eachel had stolen the 
3 images t that were her father's. 

20 And Jacob stole away 4 un- 
awares to Laban the Syrian, in 
that he told him not that he 
fled. 

21 So he fled with all that he had; 
and he rose up, and passed over the 
river, and u set his face toward the 
mount Gilead. 

22 And it was told Laban on the 
third day that Jacob was fled. 

23 And he took his "brethren 
with him, and pursued after him 
seven days' journey; and they 
overtook him in the mount Gilead. 

24 And God * came to Laban the 
Syrian in a dream by night, and 
said unto him, Take heed that 
thou* speak not to Jacob 5 either 
good or bad 

25 ^f Then Laban overtook Jacob. 
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in 
the mount: and Laban with his 
brethren pitched in the mount of 
Gilead. 

26 And Laban said to Jacob, 
"What hast thou done, that thou 
hast stolen away unawares to me, 
and y carried away my daughters, 
as captives taken with the sword? 

27 Wherefore didst thou flee 
away secretly, and 6 steal away 
from me; and didst not tell me, 
that I might have sent thee away 
with mirth, and with songs, with 
tabret, and with harp? 

2S And hast not suffered me * to 
kiss my sons and my daughters? 
Thou a hast now done foolishly in 
so doing. 

29 It is in the power of my hand 
to do you hurt: but the b God of 
your father spake unto me c yester- 
night, saying, Take thou heed that 
thou speak not to Jacob either 
good or bad. 

30 And now, though thou wouldest 
needs be gone, because thou sore 
longedst after thy father's house, 
yet wherefore hast thou stolen d my 
gods? 

31 And Jacob answered and said 
to Laban, Because I was afraid: 
for I said, Peradventure thou 
wouldest take by force thy 
daughters from me. 

32 With whomsoever thou findest 
thy gods, e let him not live: before 
our brethren discern thou what 
is thine with me, and take it to 
thee. For Jacob knew not that 
Eachel had stolen them.

into the two maid-servants' tents; 
but he found tliem not. Then went 
he out of Leah's tent, and entered 
into Eachel's tent, 

34 Now Eachel had taken the 
images, and put them in the 
camel's furniture, and sat upon 
them. And Laban 7 searched all 
the tent, but found them not. 

35 And she said to her father, 
Let it not displease my lord that I 
cannot / rise up before thee ; for 
the custom of women is upon me. 
And he searched, but found not 
the 9 images. 

36 % And Jacob 7l was wroth, and

swered and said to Laban, What 
is my trespass? what is my sin, 
that thou hast so hotly pursued 
after me ? 

37 Whereas thou hast 8 searched 
all my stuff, what hast thou found 
of all thy household stuff? *set it 
here before my brethren and thy 
brethren, that they may judge 
betwixt us both. 

38 This twenty years have 1 been 
with thee; thy ewes and thy she- 
goats have not cast their young, 
and the rams of thy flock have I 
not eaten. 

39 That-?' which was torn of beasts 
[ brought not unto thee; I bare 
the loss of it; of k my hand didst 
thou require it, whether stolen by 
day, or stolen by night, 

40 Thus I was; in the day the 
drought consumed me, and the 
frost by night; and my sleep de- 
parted from mine eyes. 

41 Thus have I been twenty 
years in thy house; I l served thee 
fourteen years for thy two daugh-

Fear ° of Isaac, had been with me,

affliction and the labour of my 
hands, and 9 rebuked thee yester- 
night

said unto Jacob, These daughters 
are my daughters, and these chil- 
dren are my children, and these 
cattle are my cattle, and all that 
thou seest is mine: and what can 
I do this day unto these my 
daughters, or unto their children 
which they have bom? 



The covenant at Galeed. 



GENESIS, XXXII. 



Jacob's message to Esau. 



44 Now therefore come thou, r let 
us make a covenant, I and thou; 
and s let it be for a witness between 
me and thee. 

45 And Jacob ' took a stone, and 
set it up for a pillar. 

46 And Jacob said unto his breth- 
ren, Gather stones; and they took 
stones, and made an heap: and 
they did eat there upon the heap. 

47 And Laban called it 9 Jegar- 
sahadutha: but Jacob called it 
10 Galeed. 

. 48 And Laban said, w This heap 
is a witness between me and thee 
this day. Therefore was the name 
of it called Galeed; 

49 And u Mizpah; v for he said, 
The Lord watch between me and 
fchee, when we are absent one from 
another. 

50 If thou shalt afflict my daugh- 
ters, or if thou shalt take other 
wives besides my daughters, no 
man is with us; see, God is witness 
betwixt me and thee. 

51 And Laban said to Jacob, Be- 
hold this heap, and behold this 
pillar, which I have cast betwixt 
me and thee; 

52 This heap be witness, and this 
pillar be witness, that I will not pass 
over this heap to thee, and that 
thou shalt not pass over this heap 
and this pillar unto me, for harm. 

53 The God of Abraham, and the 
God of Nahor, the God of their 
father, w judge betwixt us. And 
Jacob x sware by the Fear of his 
father Isaac. 

54 Then Jacob 12 offered sacrifice 
upon the mount, and called his 
brethren to eat bread: and they 
did eat bread, and tarried all night 
in the mount. 

55 And early in the morning 
Laban rose up, and kissed Ms sons 
and his daughters, and y blessed 
them: and Laban departed, and 
returned imto his place.

4 And he commanded them, say- 
ing, e Thus shall ye speak unto my 
lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith 
thus, I have sojourned with Laban, 
and stayed there until now: 

5 And /I have oxen, and asses, 
flocks, and men-servants, and 
women-servants: and I have sent 
to tell my lord, that 9 1 may find 
grace in thy sight. 

6 f And the messengers returned 
to Jacob, saying, "We came to thy 
brother Esau, and also h he cometh 
to meet thee, and four hundred 
men with him. 

7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid 
and * distressed: and he ■? divided 
the people that was with him, and 
the flocks, and herds, and the 
camels, into two bands: 

8 And said, If Esau come to the 
one company, and smite it, then 
the other company which is left 
shall escape. 

9 f And lc Jacob said, l O God of 
my father Abraham, and God of 
my father Isaac, the Lord m which 
saidst unto me, Keturn unto thy 
country, and to thy kindred, and 
I will deal well with thee: 

10 3 1 am not n worthy of the 
least of all the ° mercies, and of all 
the truth, which thou hast showed 
unto thy servant ; for with my 
staff p I passed over this Jordan, 
and now I am become two bands. 

11 Deliver s me, I pray thee, from 
the hand of my brother, from the 
hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest 
he will come and smite me, and 
the r mother i with the children. 

12 And s thou saidst, I will surely 
do thee good, and make thy seed as 
the sand of the sea, which cannot 
be numbered for multitude. 

13 1f And he lodged there that 
same night; aud took of that 
which came to his hand a * present 
for Esau his brother; 

14 Two hundred she-goats, and 
twenty he-goats, two hundred 
ewes, and twenty rams, 

15 Thirty milch camels with 
their colts, forty kine, and ten 
bulls, twenty she-asses, and ten 
foals. 

,16 And he delivered tliem into the 
hand of his servants, every drove 
by themselves; and said unto his 
servants, Pass over before me, and 
put a space betwixt drove and 
drove, 

17 And he commanded the fore-

13 And he said unto him, My

are tender, and the flocks and 
herds with young are with me; 
and if men should overdrive them 
one day, all the flock will die. 

14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass

lead on softly, 6 according as the 
cattle that goeth before me and 
the children be able to endure, 
until I come unto my lord k unto

15 And Esau said, Let me now 

6 leave with thee some of the folk 
that are with me. And he said, 

7 What needeth it? l let me find 
grace in the sight of my lord. 

16 % So Esau returned that day 
on his way unto Seir. 

17 And Jacob journeyed to m Suc-

made booths for his cattle : there- 
fore the name of the place is called 

8 Succoth. 

18 ^ And Jacob came to n Shalem 
a city of 9 Shechem, which is in 
the land of Canaan, when he came 
from Padan-aram; and pitched his 
tent before the city. 

19 And ° he bought a parcel of a 
field, where he had spread his tent, 
at the hand of the children of

Shechem went out unto Jacob to 
commune with him. 

7 And the sons of Jacob came out 
of the field when they heard it: 
and the men were grieved, and 
they were /very wroth, because he 
had 9 wrought folly in Israel, in 
lying with Jacob's daughter; 
which h thing ought not to be 
done. 

8 And Hamor communed with 
them, saying, The soul of my son 
Shechem longeth for your daugh- 
ter: I pray you give her him to 
wife. 

9 And * make ye marriages with 
us, and give your daughters unto 
us, and take our daughters unto 
you. 

10 And ye shall dwell with us: 
and i the land shall be before you; 
dwell and k trade ye therein, and 
get { you possessions therein. 

11 And Shechem said unto hei 
father and unto her brethren, Let 
me find grace in your eyes, and 
what ye shall say unto me I will 
give. 

12 Ask me never so much" 8 dowry 
and gift, and I will give according 
as ye shall say unto me: but give 
me the damsel to wife. 

13 And the sons of Jacob an- 
swered Shechem and Hamor his 
father n deceitfully, and said, be- 
cause he had defiled Dinah their 
sister: 

14 And they said unto them, We 
cannot do this thing, to give our 
sister to one that is uncircumcised; 
for ° that were a reproach unto us: 

15 But in this wiU we consent unto 
you: If ye will be as we be, that 
every male of you be circumcised; 

1 6 Then will we give our daughters 
unto you, and we will take your 
daughters to us, and we will dwell 
with you, and we will become one 
people. 

17 But if ye will not hearken 
unto us, to be circumcised; then 
will we take our daughter, and we 
will be gone. 

18 And their words pleased 
Hamor, and Shechem, Hamor's 
son. 

19 And the young man deferred 
not to do the thing, because he 
had delight in Jacob's daughter: 
and he was p more honourable than 
all the house of his father. 

20 And Hamor and Shechem his 
son came unto the q gate of their 
city, and communed with the men 
of their city, saying, 



The Shechemites destroyed. 



GENESIS, XXXV. 



Jacob's name changed. 



21 These men art peaceable with 
vis; therefore let them dwell in 
the land, and trade therein; for 
the land, behold, it is large enough 
for them; let us take their daughters 
to us for wives, and let us give them 
our daughters, 

22 Only herein will the men con- 
sent unto us for to dwell with us, 
to be one people, if every male 
among us be circumcised, as they 
are circumcised. 

23 Shall not their cattle and their 
substance and every beast of theirs 
be ours? only let us consent unto 
them, and they will dwell with us. 

24 And unto Hamor, and unto 
Shechem his son, hearkened all 
that r went out of the gate of his 
city; and eveiy male was circum- 
cised, all that went out of the gate 
of his city. 

25 r And it came to pass on the 
third day, when they were sore, 
that two of the sons of Jacob, 
Simeon s and Levi, Dinah's breth- 
ren, took each man his sword, and 
came upon the city boldly, and 
slew all the males. 

26 And they slew Hamor and 
Shechem his son with the 3 edge 
of the sword, and took Dinah out 
of Shechem's house, and went out. 

27 The sons of Jacob came upon 
the slain, and spoiled the city, 
because they had denied their 
sister. 

28 They took their sheep, and 
their oxen, and their asses, and 
that which was in the city, and 
that which teas in the held, 

29 And all their wealth, and all 
their little ones, and their wives 
took they captive, and spoiled even 
all that was in the house. 

30 And Jacob said to Simeon and 
Levi, c Ye have u troubled me c to 
make me to stink among the in- 
habitants of the land, among the 
Canaanites and the Perizzites: 
and w I being few in number, they 
shall gather themselves together 
against me, and slay me; and I 
shall be destroyed, I and my house. 

31 And they said, x Should he deal 
with our sister as with an harlot \

Put away e the strange gods that 
are among you, and / be clean, and 
change your garments: 

3 And let us arise, and go up to 
Beth-el; and I will make there an 
altar unto God. 5 who answered 
me in the day of my distress, h and 
was with me in the way which I 
went. 

4 And they gave unto Jacob all 
the strange gods which were in 
their hand, and all their • earrings 
which were in their ears ; and 
Jacob hid them under •'the oak 
which teas by Shechem. 

5 And they journeyed: and * the 
terror of God was upon the cities 
that were round about them, and 
they did not pursue after the sons 
of Jacob. 

6 ^ So Jacob came to l Luz, which 
is in the land of Canaan, that is, 
Beth-el, he, and all the people that 
v:ere with him. 

7 And he " built there an altar, 
and called the place 1 El-beth-el; 
because " there God appeared unto 
him, when he fled from the face of 
his brother. 

S But ° Deborah, Bebekah's nurse, 
died, and she was buried beneath 
Beth-el under an oak: and the 
name of it was called 2 Allon- 
bachuth. 

9 *[\ And ^God appeared unto 
Jacob again, when he came out of 
Padan-aram, and blessed him. 

10 And God said unto him, Thy 
name is Jacob: g thy name shall 
not be called any more Jacob, but 
Israel r shall be thy name: and he 
called his name Israel. 

11 And God said unto him, s I am 
God Almighty; be fruitful and 
multiply; a ( nation, and a com- 
pany of nations, shall be of thee, 
and" kings shall come out of thy 
loins; 

12 And the land " which I gave 
Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will 
give it, and to thy seed after thee 
will I give the land. 

13 And God B went up from him 
in the place where he talked with 
him. 

14 And Jacob v set up a pillar in 
the place where he talked with 
him, even a pillar of stone: and he 
poiued a drink offering thereon, 
and he poured oil thereon.

15 And Jacob called the name of 
the place where God spake with 
him, x Beth-el. 

16 % And they journeyed from 
Beth-el; and there was but 3 a little 
way to come to Ephrath: and 
Eachel travailed, and she had hard 
labour. 

17 And it came to pass, when she 
was in hard labour, that the mid- 
wife said unto her, Fear not; y thou 
shalt have this son also. 

18 And it came to pass, as her 
soul was in departing, for she died, 
that she called his name 4 Ben-oni: 
but his father called him 6 Benja- 
min. 

19 And z Eachel died, and was 
buried in the way to "Ephrath, 
which is Beth-lehem. 

20 And Jacob set a pillar upon 
her grave: that is the pillar of 
Bachel's grave b unto this day. 

21 % And Israel journeyed, and 
spread his tent beyond c the tower 
of Edar. 

22 And it came to pass, when 
Israel dwelt in that land, that 
Keuben went and d lay with Bil- 
hah his father's concubine: and 
Israel heard it. Now the sons of 
Jacob were twelve: 

23 The sons of Leah ; * Reuben, 
Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, 
and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, 
and Zebulun: 

24 The sons of Eachel; Joseph 
and Benjamin: 

25 And the sons of Bilhah, Each- 
el's handmaid; Dan and Naph- 
tali: 

26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's 
handmaid; Gad and Asher: these 
are the sons of Jacob, which were 
born to him in Padan-aram. 

27 f And Jacob came unto Isaac 
his father unto / Mamre, unto the 
city 9 of Arba, which is Hebron, 
where Abraham and Isaac so- 
journed. 

28 And the days of Isaac were an 
hundred and fourscore years. 

29 And Isaac h gave up the ghost, 
and died, and * was gathered unto

days: and i his sons Esau and

his cattle, and all his beasts, and 
all his substance, which he had 
got in the land of Canaan; and

2 Joseph hated of his brethren: 5 his two 
dreams: 18 his brethren conspire his 
death. 23 He is cast into a pit. 26 Tliey 
sell him to the Jshmeelites, 36 tvho sell 
him to Potiphar in Egypt, 

AND Jacob dwelt in the land 
1 wherein his father was a 
stranger, in the land of Canaan. 

2 These are the generations of 
Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen 
years old, was feeding the flock 
with his brethren; and the lad 
was with the sons of Bilhah, and 
with the sons of Zilpah, his fa- 
ther's wives: and Joseph brought 
unto his father a their evil report. 

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more 
than all his cMldren, because he 
was h the son of his old age: and 
he made him a coat of many 
2 colours. 

4 And when his brethren saw 
that then father loved him more 
than all his brethren, they c hated 
him, and could not speak peace- 
ably unto him. 

5 f And Joseph dreamed a dream, 
and he told it his brethren: and 
they hated him yet the more. 

6 And he said unto them, Hear, 
I pray you, this dream which I 
have dreamed:

sheaves in the field, and, lo, my 
sheaf arose, and also stood up- 
right; and, behold, your sheaves 
stood round about, and made 
obeisance to my sheaf. 

8 And his brethren said to him, 
Shalt thou indeed reign over 
us? or shalt thou indeed have do- 
minion over us? And they hated 
him yet the more for his dreams, 
and for his words. 

9 And he dreamed yet another 
dream, and told it his brethren, 
and said, Behold, I have dreamed 
a dream more; and, behold, 6 the 
sim, and the moon, and the eleven 
stars, made obeisance to me. 

10 And he told it to his father, 
and to his brethren: and his fa- 
ther rebuked him, and said unto 
him, What is this dream tbat thou 
hast dreamed? Shall I and thy 
mother and / thy brethren indeed 
come to bow down ourselves to 
thee to the earth? 

11 And 9 his brethren envied 
bim; but his father A observed the 
saying. 

12 J[ And his brethren went to feed 
their father's flock in Shechem. 

13 And Israel said unto Joseph, 
Do not thy brethren feed the flock 
in Shechem? come, and 1 will send 
thee unto them. And he said to 
him, Here am I. 

14 And he said to him, Go, I pray 
thee, 3 see whether it be well with 
thy brethren, and well with the 
flocks; and bring me word again. 
So he sent him out of the vale ' of 
Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 

15 And a certain man found him, 
and, behold, he was wandering in 
the field: and the man asked him, 
saying, What seekest thou ? 

16 And he said, I seek my breth- 
ren: i tell me, I pray thee, where 
they feed their flocks. 

17 And the man said, They are 
departed hence; for I heard them 
say, Let us go to Dothan. And 
Joseph went after his brethren, 
and found them in k Dothan. 

18 % And when they saw him 
afar off, even before he came near 
unto them, they l conspired against 
him to slay him. 

19 And they said one to another, 
Behold, this 4 dreamer cometh. 

20 Come m now therefore, and let 
lis slay him, and cast him into 
some pit; and we will say, Some 
evil beast hath devoured him: and 
we shall see what will become of 
his dreams.

delivered him out of their hands; 
and said, Let us not kill him. 

22 And Reuben said unto them, 
Shed no blood, but cast him into 
this pit that is in the wilderness, 
and lay no hand upon him; that 
he might rid him out of their 
hands, to deliver him to his father 
again. 

23 ^f And it came to pass, when 
Joseph was come unto his breth- 
ren, that they stripped Joseph out 
of his coat, his coat of many 5 colours 
that was on him; 

24 And they took him, and cast 
him into a pit: and the pit was 
empty, there was no water in it. 

25 And ° they sat down to eat 
bread : and they lifted up their 
eyes and looked, and, behold, a 
company of p Ishmeelites came 
from Gilead, with their camels 
bearing spicery and q balm and 
myrrh, going to carry it down to 
Egypt. 

26 And Judah said unto his 
brethren, What profit is it if we 
slay our brother, and r conceal his 
blood? 

27 Come, and let us sell him to 
the Ishmeelites, and * let not our 
hand be upon him; for he is * our 
brother and M our flesh. And his 
brethren 6 were content. 

28 Then there passed by "Midian- 
ites, merchant-men; and they 
drew and lifted up Joseph out of 
the pit, w and sold Joseph to the 
Ishmeelites for x twenty pieces of 
silver: and they brought Joseph 
into Egypt. 

29 If And Reuben returned unto 
the pit; and, behold, Joseph was 
not in the pit; and he v rent his 
clothes.

31 ^And they took ° Joseph's 
coat, and killed a kid of the goats,

32 And they sent the coat of 
many colours, and they brought it 
to then father; and said, This have 
we found: know now whether it 
be thy son's coat or no. 

33 And he knew it, and said, It 
is my son's coat; an 6 evil beast 
hath devoured him: Joseph is with- 
out doubt rent in pieces.

and went up unto his sheep-

friend Hirah the Adullamite. 

13 And it was told Tamar, say- 
ing, Behold, thy father-in-law go- 
eth up v to Timnath to shear his 
sheep. 

14 And she put her widow's gar- 
ments off from her, and covered 
her with a veil, and wrapped her- 
self, and q sat in 3 an open place, 
which is by the way to Timnath: 
for she saw r that Shelah was 
grown, and she was not given unto 
him to wife. 

15 When Judah saw her, he 
thought her to be an harlot; be- 
cause she had covered her face. 

16 And he tinned unto her by 
the way, and said, Go to, I pray 
thee, let me come in unto thee; 
(for he knew not that she was his 
daughter-in-law.) And she said, 
What wilt thou give me, that thou 
mayest come in unto me? 

17 And he said, S I will send thee 
4 a kid from the flock, And she 
said, Wilt 'thou give me a pledge 
till thou send it? 

18 And he said, What pledge 
shall I give thee? And she said, 
Thy "signet, and thy bracelets, 
and thy staff that is in thine hand. 
And he gave it her, and came in 
unto her; and she conceived by 
him. 

19 And she arose, and went away, 
and "laid by her veil from her, 
and put on the garments of her 
widowhood. 

20 And Judah sent the kid by 
the hand of his friend the Adul- 
lamite, to receive Ms pledge from 
the woman's hand; but he found 
her not. 

21 Then he asked the men of 
that place, saying, Where is the 
harlot that was ° openly by the 
way-side? And they said, There 
was no harlot in this place. 

22 And he returned to Judah, 
and said, I cannot find her; and 
also the men of the place said, 
that there was no harlot in this 
place. 

23 And Judah said, Let her take 
it to her, lest we 6 be shamed: be- 
hold, I sent this kid, and thou hast 
not found her. 

24 H And it came to pass, about 
three months after, that it was 
told Judah, saying, Tamar thy 
daughter-in-law hath w played the 
harlot; and also, behold, she is 
with child by whoredom. And

Judah said, Bring her forth, x and 
let her be burnt. 

25 When she was brought forth, 
she sent to her father-in-law, say- 
ing. By the man whose these are 
am I with child: and she said, y Dis- 
cern, I pray thee, whose are these, 
the signet, and bracelets, and 
staff. 

26 And Judah z acknowledged 
them, and said, °She hath been 
more righteous than I; because 
that 6 1 gave her not to Shelah my 
son. And he knew her again c no 
more. 

27 \ And it came to pass, in the 
time of her travail, that, behold, 
twins were in her womb. 

28 And it came to pass, when she 
travailed, that tlie one put out his 
hand: and the midwife took and 
bound upon his hand a scarlet 
thread, saying, This came out 
first 

29 And it came to pass, as he 
drew back his hand, that, behold, 
his brother came out: and she said, 
7 How hast thou broken forth? this 
breach be upon thee: therefore his 
name was called 8 Pharez. 

30 And afterward came out his

upon his hand: and his name was

upon all that he had in the house, 
and in the field. 

6 And he left all that he had in 
Joseph's hand; and he knew not 
ought he had, save the bread 
which he did eat. And Joseph 
was h a goodly person, and well- 
favoured. 

7 f And it came to pass after, 
these things, that his master's 
wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; 
and she said, * Lie with me. 

8 But he refused, and- said unto 
his master's wife, Behold, my mas- 
ter wotteth not what is with me 
in the house, and he hath com- 
mitted all that he hath to my 
hand; 

9 There is none greater in this 
house than I; neither hath he 
kept back any thing from me but 
thee, because thou art his wife: 
how.?' then can I do this great 
wickedness, and k sin against God? 

10 And it came to pass, as she 
spake to Joseph day by day, that 
he hearkened not unto her, to he 
by her, or to be with her. 

11 And it came to pass about this 
time, that Joseph went into the 
house to do his business; and there 
was none of the men of the house 
there within. 

12 And l she caught him by his 
garment, saying, Lie with me : 
and he left his garment in her 
hand, and fled, and got him out. 

13 And it came to pass, when she 
saw that he had left his garment 
in her hand, and was fled forth, 

14 That she called unto the men 
of her house, and spake unto them, 
saying, See, he hath brought in an 
Hebrew unto us to mock us; he 
came in unto me to he with me, 
and I cried with a x loud voice : 

15 And it came to pass, when he 
heard that I lifted up my voice 
and cried, that he left his garment 
with me, and fled, and got him 
out. 

16 And she laid up his garment 
by her until his lord came home. 

17 And she m spake unto him 
according to these words, saying, 
The Hebrew servant, which thou 
hast brought unto us, came in 
unto me to mock me: 

18 And it came to pass, as I lifted 
up my voice and cried, that he 
left his garment with me, and fled 
out. 

19 And it came to pass, when his 
master heard the words of his wife, 
which she spake unto him, saying, 



Joseph is cast into prison.

22 And the keeper of the prison

AXD it came to pass after these 
things, that the a butler of the 
king of Egypt and his baker had 
offended their lord the king of 

Egypt. 

2 And Pharaoh was & wroth 
against two of his officers, against 
the chief of the butlers, and against 
the chief of the bakers. 

3 And c he put them in ward in 
the house of the captain of the 
guard, into the prison, the place 
where Joseph was bound. 

4 And the captain of the guard 
charged Joseph with them, and he 
served them: and they continued 
a season in ward. 

5 1f And they dreamed a dream 
both of them, each man his dream 
in one night, each man according 
to the interpretation of his dream, 
the butler and the baker of the 
king of Egypt, which were bound , 
in the prison. 

6 And Joseph came in unto them 
in the morning, and looked upon 
them, and, behold, they were sad. 

7 And he askedPharaoh's officers, 
that were with him in the ward of 
his lord's house, saying, Wherefore 
1 look ye so sadly to-day? 

8 And they said unto him, d "We 
have dreamed a dream, and there 
is no interpreter of it. And Joseph 
said unto them, e Do not interpre-

I 10 And in the vine were three 
■ branches: and it was as though it 
, budded, and her blossoms shot 
forth; and the clusters thereof 
'. brought forth ripe grapes: 
I 11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my 
P^k, hand: and I took the grapes, and 
j pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, 
! and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's 
i hand. 

! 12 And Joseph said unto him, 
' : This ' is the interpretation of it : 
The three branches are three 
i days: 

j 13 Yet within three days shall 

' Pharaoh 2 lift 9 up thine head, and 

1 restore thee unto thy place: and 

\ thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup

15 For indeed I was stolen away 
out of the land of the Hebrews; 
and i here also have I done 
nothing that they should put me 
into the dungeon. 

16 When the chief baker saw 
that the interpretation was good, 
he said unto Joseph, I also was in 
my dream, and, behold, I had three 
4 white baskets on my head: 

17 And in the uppermost basket 
there was of all manner of 5 bake- 
meats for Pharaoh; and the birds 
did eat them out of the basket 
upon my head.

said, This is the interpretation 
thereof: The three baskets are three 
days: 

19 Yet within three days shall 
Pharaoh 6 lift up thy head from 
off thee, and shall hang thee on a 
tree; and the birds shall eat thy 
flesh from off thee.

CHAPTER XLI. 

1 Pharaoh's two dreams: 25 Joseph inter- 
preteth them: 33 he giveth \Pharaoh 
counsel. 38 Joseph is advanced: 50 he 
bepetteth Manasseh and Ephraim. 53 
The famine beginneth. 

AND it came to pass at the end 
of two full years, that Pharaoh 
dreamed: and, behold, he stood 
by the river. 

2 And, behold, there came up 
out of the river seven well- 
favoured kine and fat-fleshed ; 
and they fed in a meadow. 

3 And, behold, seven other kine 
came up after them out of the 
river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed; 
and stood by the other kine upon 
the brink of the river. 

4 And the ill-fa voured and lean- 
fleshed kine did eat up the seven 
well-favoured and fat kine. So 
Pharaoh awoke. 

5 And he slept and dreamed the 
second time: and, behold, seven 
ears of corn came up upon one 
stalk, 1 rank and good. 

6 And, behold, seven thin ears 
and blasted with the east wind 
sprung up after them. 

7 And the seven thin ears de- 
voured the seven rank and full 
ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, 
behold, it was a dream. 

8 And it came to pass in the 
morning, a that his spirit was 
troubled; and he sent and called 
for all b the magicians of Egypt, 
and all the c wise men thereof: 
and Pharaoh told them his dreams; 
but there was none that could in- 
terpret them unto Pharaoh. 

9 fi Then spake the chief butler 
unto Pharaoh, saying, I do re- 
member my faults this day: 

10 Pharaoh was d wroth with his 
servants, e and put me in ward in 
the captain of the guard's house, 
both me and the chief baker: 

11 And J we dreamed a dream in 
one night, I and he; we dreamed 
each man according to the inter- 
pretation of his dream. 

12 Audi 3 there was there with us a 
young man, an Hebrew, n servant 
to the captain of the guard; and 
we told him, and he * interpreted 
to us our dreams; to each man 
according to his dream he did 
interpret.

restored unto mine office, and him 
he hanged. 

14 f Then * Pharaoh sent and 
called Joseph, and l they 2 brought 
him hastily m out of the dungeon: 
and he shaved himself, and 
changed his raiment, and came in 
unto Pharaoh. 

15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
I have dreamed a dream, and there 
is none that can interpret it: n and 
I have heard say of thee, that 3 thou 
canst understand a dream to in- 
terpret it. 

16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, 
saying, °It is not in me: p God shall 
give Pharaoh an answer of peace. 

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
In my dream, behold, I stood upon 
the bank of the river: 

18 And, behold, there came up 
out of the river seven kine, fat- 
fleshed and well-favoured; and 
they fed in a meadow: 

19 And, behold, seven other kine 
came up after them, poor and very 
ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such 
as I never. saw in all the land of 
Egypt for badness: 

20 And the leanand the ill-favour- 
ed kine did eat up the first seven 
fat kine: 

21 And when they had 4 eaten 
them up, it could not be known 
that they had eaten them ; but 
they were still ill-favoured, as at 
the beginning. So I awoke. 

22 And I saw in my dream, and, 
behold, seven ears came up in one 
stalk, full and good: 

23 And, behold, seven ears, 
5 withered, thin, and blasted with 
the east wind, sprung up after 
them: 

24 And the thin ears devoured 
the seven good ears. And q I told 
this unto the magicians; but there 
was none that could declare it to 
me. 

25 % And Joseph said unto 
Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh 
is one: r God hath showed Pharaoh 
what he is about to do. 

26 The seven good kine are seven 
years; and the seven good ears are 
seven years: the dream is one. 

27 And the seven thin and ill- 
favoured kine that came up after 
them are seven years; and the 
seven empty ears, blasted with the 
east wind, shall be s seven years of 
famine. 

28 This is the thing which I have 
spoken unto Pharaoh: What God 



Joseph, made ruler of Egypt.

m about to do he showeth unto 

Pharaoh. 
29 Behold, there come seven years 

of great plenty throughout all the 

land of Egypt: 
! 30 And there shall arise after 

thern seven years of famine; and 
' all the plenty shall be forgotten in 

the land of Egypt; and the famine 

shall ' consume the land; 
31 And the plenty shall not be 

known in the land by reason of 

that famine following; for it shall 

be very 6 grievous. 
1 32 And for that the dream was 

doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is 
■ because the thing is 7 established 

by God, and God will shortly bring 

it to pass. 

33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look 
out a man discreet and wise, and 
set him over the land of Egypt. 

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let 
him appoint 8 officers over the 
land, and take up the fifth part of 
the land of Egypt in the seven 
plenteous years. 

35 And let them gather all the 
food of those good years that 
come, and lay up corn under the 
hand of Pharaoh, and let them 
keep food in the cities. 

36 And that food shall be for 
store to the land against the seven 
years of famine, which shall be 
in the land of Egypt; that the 
land 9 perish not through the fa- 
mine.

eyes of all his servants. 

38 And Pharaoh said unto his 
servants, Can we find such a one as 
this is, a man w in whom the Spirit 
of God is? 

39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
Forasmuch as God hath showed 
thee all this, there is none so dis- 
creet and wise as thou art: 

40 Thou shalt be over my house, 
and according unto thy word shall 
all my people 10 be ruled: only in 
the throne will I be greater than 
thou. 

41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
See, I v have set thee over all the 
land of Egypt.

ring from his hand, and put it 
upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed 
him in vestures of n "fine linen, 
and * put a gold chain about his 
neck:

and they cried before him, u Bow 
the knee: and he made him ruler 
over all the land of Egypt. 

44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
I am Pharaoh, and without thee 
shall no man lift up his hand or 
foot in all the land of Egypt. 

45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's 
name 13 Zaphnath-paaneah ; and 
he gave him to wife Asenath the 
daughter of Poti-pherah u priest of 
On. And Joseph went out over all 
the land of Egypt. 

46 And Joseph was thirty years 
old when he y stood before Pharaoh 
king of Egypt. And Joseph went 
out from the presence of Pharaoh, 
and went throughout all the land 
of Egypt. 

47 And in the seven plenteous 
years the earth brought forth by 
handfuls. 

48 And he gathered up all the 
food of the seven years, which 
were in the land of Egypt, and 
laid up the food in the cities : the 
food of the field, which was round 
about every city, laid he up in the 



49 And Joseph gathered corn z as 
the sand of the sea, very much, 
until he left numbering; for it was 
without number. 

50 And a unto Joseph were born 
two sons before the years of famine 
came, which Asenath the daughter 
of Poti-pherah 15 priest of On bare 
unto him. 

51 And Joseph called the name 
of the first-born 16 Manasseh: For 
G&d, said he, hath made me forget 
all my toil, and all my father's 
house. 

52 And the name of the second 
called he 17 Ephraim: For God 
hath caused me to be fruitful in 
the land of my affliction. 

53 f And the seven years of 
plenteousness that was in the land 
of Egypt were ended. 

54 And b the seven years of dearth 
began to come, according as 
Joseph had said: and the dearth 
was in all lands; but in all the 
land of Egypt there w r as bread. 

55 And when all the land of 
Egypt was famished, the people 
cried to Pharaoh for bread: and 
Pharaoh said unto all the Egyp- 
tians, Go unto Joseph; what he 
saith to you, do. 

56 And the famine was over ail 
the face of the earth. And Joseph 
opened 18 all the storehouses, and 
sold c unto the Egyptians; and the

famine waxed sore in the land of 
Egypt. 

57 And d all countries came into 
Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; 
because that the famine was e so 
sore in all lands. 

CHAPTER XLH. 

1 Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy corn in 
■Egypt; 17 they are imprisoned by Joseph 
for spies; 21 their remorse for Joseph; 
25 their return: 29 their relation to Jacob. 

NOW when ° Jacob saw that 
there was corn in Egypt, 
Jacob said unto his sons, Why do 
ye look one upon another? 

2 And he said, Behold, 1 have 
heard that there is corn in Egypt: 
get you down thither, and buy for 
us from thence; that we may 6 live, 
and not die. 

3 % And Joseph's ten brethren 
went down to buy corn in Egypt, 

4 But Benjamin, Joseph's bro- 
ther, Jacob sent not with his 
brethren: for he said, c Lest per- 
adventure mischief befall him. 

5 And the sons of Israel came to 
buy corn among those that came: 
for the famine was d in the land of 
Canaan. 

6 And Joseph was the e governor 
over the land, and he it was that 
sold to all the people of the land: 
and Joseph's brethren came, /and 
bowed down themselves before 
him with their faces to the earth. 

7 And Joseph saw his brethren, 
and he knew them, but made 
himself strange unto them, and 
spake a roughly unto them; and 
he said unto them, Whence come 
ye? And they said, From the land 
of Canaan to buy food. 

8 And Joseph knew his brethren, 
but they knew not him. 

9 And Joseph 9 remembered the 
dreams which he dreamed of them, 
and said unto them, Ye are spies; 
to see the nakedness of the land ye 
are come. 

10 And they said unto him, Nay, 
my lord, but to buy food are thy 
servants come. 

11 We are all one man's sons: we 
are true men, thy servants are no 
spies. 

12 And he said unto them, Nay, 
but to see the nakedness of the 
land ye are come. 

13 And they said, Thy servants 
are twelve brethren, the sons of one 
man in the land of Canaan; and, 
behold, the youngest is this day 
with our father, and one A is not. 

14 And Joseph said unto them,

5 went forth. 



That is it that I spake unto you, 
saying, Ye are spies: 

15 Hereby ye shall be proved:* By 
the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go 
forth hence, except your youngest 
brother come hither. 

16 Send one of you, and let him 
fetch your brother, and ye shall be 
2 kept in prison, that your words 
may be proved, whether there be 
any truth in you: or else, by the 
life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies. 

17 And he 3 put them altogether 
into ward three days. 

18 And Joseph said unto them 
the third day, This do, and live; 
for J I fear God: 

19 If ye be true men, let one of 
your brethren be bound in the 
house of your prison: go ye, cany 
corn for the famine of your houses: 

20 But k bring your youngest 
brother unto me; so shall your 
words be verified, and ye shall not 
die. And they did so. 

21 % And they said one to another, 
We l are verily guilty concerning 
our brother, in that we saw the 
anguish of his soul, when he be- 
sought us, and we would not hear; 
therefore m is this distress come 
upon us. 

22 And Beuben answered them, 
saying, n Spake I not unto you, 
saying, Do not sin against the 
child; and ye would not hear? 
therefore, behold, also his blood 
is ° required. 

23 And they knew not that 
Joseph understood them; for 4 he 
spake unto them by an interpreter. 

24 And he turned himself about 
from them, and wept; and return- 
ed to them again, and communed 
with them, and took from them 
Simeon, and bound him before 
their eyes. 

25 % Then Joseph commanded to 
fill their sacks with corn, and to 
restore every man's money into 
his sack, and to give them pro- 
vision for the way: and p thus did 
he unto them. 

26 And they laded their asses 
with the corn, and departed 
thence. 

27 And as q one of them opened 
his sack, to give his ass provender 
in the inn, he espied his money; 
for, behold, it was in his sack's 
mouth. 

28 And he said unto his brethren, 
My money is restored; and, lo, it is 
even in my sack: and their heart 
5 failed them, and they were afraid,

saying one to another, What is b. c. 1701. 
this that God hath done unto us? 

29 % And they came unto Jacob 
their father unto the land of 
Canaan, and told him all that 
befell unto them; saying, 

30 The man, who is the lord of 
the land, r spake 6 roughly to us, 
and took us for spies of the coun- 
try. 

31 And we said unto him, We 
are true men; we are no spies: 

32 We be twelve brethren, sons of 
our father: one is not, and the 
youngest is this day -with our fa- 
ther in the land of Canaan. 

33 And the man, the lord of the 
country, said unto us, s Hereby 
shall I know that ye are true men; 
leave one of your brethren here 
with me, and take food for the 
famine of yotu households, and be 
gone; 

34 And bring your younge- : 
ther unto me: then shall I know 
:hat ye are no spies, but that ye are 
true men: so will I deliver you your 
brother, and ye shall : name in 
the land. 

35 And it came to pass as they 
emptied their sacks, that, behold, 
every " man's bundle of money 
icas in his sack: and when both 
they and their father saw the 
bundles of money, they were 
afraid. 

36 And Jacob their father said 
unto them, Me have ye " bereaved 
of my children: Joseph is not, and I 
Simeon is not, and ye will take 
Benjamin away: all these things 
are against me. 

37 And Reuben spake unto his 
father, saying, Slay my two sons, 
if I bring him not to thee: deliver 
him into my hand, and I will 
bring him to thee again. 

38 And he said, My son shall not 
go down with you; for his "brother 
is dead, and he is left alone: *if 
mischief befall him by the way in 
the which ye go, then shall ye 
bring y down my grey hairs with 
sorrow to the grave.

3 And Judah spake unto him, 
saying, The man x did solemnly 
protest unto us, saying, Ye shall 
not see my face, except 6 your 
brother be with you. 

4 If thou wilt send our brother 
with us, we will go down and buy 
thee food: 

5 But if thou wilt not send him, 
we will not go down: for the man 
said unto us^ Ye shall not see my 
face, except your brother be with 
you 

6 And Israel said, Wherefore 
dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell 
the man whether ye had yet a 
brother? 

7 And they said, The man 2 asked 
us straitly of our state, and of our 
kindred, saying, Is your father 
yet alive? have ye another brother? 
and we told him according to the 
3 tenor of these words: * could we 
certainly know that he would say, 
Bring your brother down? 

8 And Judah said unto Israel his 
father, Send the lad with me, and 
we will arise and go: that we may 
live, and not die, both we, and 
thou, and also our little ones. 

9 I will be surety for him; of my 
hand shalt thou require him: c if I 
bring him not unto thee, and set 
him before thee, then let me bear 
the blame for ever: 

10 For except we had lingered, 
surely now we had returned ^this 
second time. 

11 And their father Israel said 
unto them, If it must be so now, do 
this; take of the best fruits in the 
land in your vessels, and d carry 
down the" man a present, a € little 
balm, and a little honey, spices, 
and myrrh, nuts, and almonds. 

12 And take double money in 
your hand: and the money / that 
was brought again in the mouth 
of your sacks, carry it again in 
your hand; peradventure it was an 
oversight: 

13 Take also your brother, and 
arise, go again unto the man: 

14 And 9 God Almighty give you 
mercy before the man, that he 
may send away your other bro- 
ther, and Benjamin. 6 If I be 
bereaved of my children, I am be- 
reaved. 

15 \ And the men took that 
present, and they took double 
money in their hand, and Ben- 
jamin; and rose up, and went 
down to Egypt, and stood before 
Joseph.

16 And when Joseph saw Benja- 
min with them, he said to h the 
ruler of his house, Bring these men 
home, and 7 slay, and make ready; 
for these men shall 8 dine with me 
at noon. 

17 And the man did as Joseph 
bade; and the man brought the 
men into Joseph's house. 

18 And the men were afraid, be- 
cause they were brought into 
Joseph's house; and they said, 
Because of the money that was 
returned in our sacks at the first 
time are we brought in; that he 
may 9 seek occasion against us, 
and fall upon us, and take us for 
bondmen, and our asses. 

19 And they came near to the 
steward of Joseph's house, and 
they communed with him at the 
door of the house, 

20 And said, sir, 10 we came 
indeed down at the first time to 
buy food: 

21 And * it came to pass, when 
we came to the inn, that we opened 
our sacks, and, behold, every man's 
money was in the mouth of his 
sack, our money in full weight: 
and we have brought it again in 
our hand. 

22 And other money have we 
brought down in our hands to buy 
food: Ave cannot tell who put our 
money in our sacks. 

23 And he said, Peace be to you, 
fear not: your God, and the God of 
your father, hath given you treas- 
ure in your sacks : n I had your 
money. And he brought Simeon 
out unto them. 

24 And the man brought the 
men into Joseph's house, i and 
gave them water, and they washed 
their feet; and he gave their asses 
provender. 

25 And they made ready the pres- 
ent against Joseph came at noon: 
for they heard that they should 
eat bread there. 

26 And when Joseph came home, 
they brought him the present 
which was in their hand into the 
house, and * bowed themselves to 
him to the earth. 

27 And he asked them of their 
12 welfare, and said, 13 Is your fa- 
ther weD, the old man of 1 whom 
ye spake? is he yet alive? 

28 And they answered, Thy ser- 
vant our father is in good health, 
he is yet alive. m And they bowed 
down their heads, and made obei- 
sance.

29 And he lifted up his eyes, and 
saw his brother Benjamin, n his 
mother's son, and said, Is this 
your younger brother, ° of whom 
ye spake unto me? And he said, 
God be gracious unto thee, my 
son. 

30 And Joseph made haste; p for 
his bowels did yearn upon his 
brother: and he sought where to 
weep; and he entered into his 
chamber, and a wept there. 

31 And he washed his face, and 
went out, and refrained himself, 
and said, Set on r bread. 

32 And they set on for him by 
himself, and for them by them- 
selves, and for the Egyptians which 
did eat with him by themselves: 
because the Egyptians might not 
eat bread with the Hebrews; for 
that is an 8 abomination unto the 
Egyptians. 

33 And they sat before him, the 
first-born according to his birth- 
right, and the youngest according 
to his youth: and the men mar- 
velled one at another. 

34 And he took and sent messes 
unto' them from before him: but 
Benjamin's mess was ' five times 
so much as any of theirs. And 
they drank, and u were merry 
with him.

AND he commanded 1 the stew- 
ard of bis house, saying, Fill 
the men's sacks with food, as much 
as they can carry, and put every 
man's money in his sack's mouth. 

2 And put my cup, the silver cup, 
in the sack's mouth of the young- 
est, and his com money. And he 
did according to the word that 
Joseph had spoken. 

3 As soon as the morning was 
light, the men were sent away, 
they and their asses. 

4 And when they were gone out 
of the city, and not yet far off, 
Joseph said unto his steward, Up, 
follow after the men; and when 
thou dost overtake them, say unto 
them, Wherefore have ye rewarded 
evil for good? 

5 Is not this it in which my lord 
drinketh, and whereby indeed he 

2 divineth? Ye have done evil in 
so doing. 

6 And he overtook them, and he 
spake unto them these same 
words.

7 And they said unto him, Where- 
fore saith my lord these words? 
God forbid that thy servants 
should do according to this 
thing. 

8 Behold, a the money which we 
found in our sacks' mouths we 
brought again unto thee out of 
the land of Canaan: how then 
should we steal out of thy lord's 
house silver or gold? 

9 With whomsoever of thy ser- 
vants it be found, b both let him 
die, and we also will be my lord's 
bondmen. 

10 And he said, Now also let it 
be according unto your words : he 
with whom it is found shall be my 
servant; and ye shall be blame- 
less. 

11 Then they speedily took down 
every man his sack to the ground, 
and opened every man his

12 And he searched, and began 
at the eldest, and left at the 
youngest: and the cup was found 
in Benjamin's sack. 

13 Then they c rent their clothes, 
and laded every man his ass, and 
returned to the city. 

14 And Judah and his brethren 
came to Joseph's house; for he was 
yet there: and they d fell before 
him on the ground. 

15 And Joseph said unto them, 
What deed is this that ye have 
done? wot ye not that such a man 
as I can certainly 3 divine? 

16 And Judah said, " What shall 
we say unto my lord? what shall 
we speak? or how shall we clear 
ourselves? God hath found out 
the iniquity of thy servants: be- 
hold, /we are my lord's servants, 
both we, and he also with whom 
the cup is found. 

17 And he said, 9 God forbid that 
I should do so: but the man in 
whose hand the cup is found, he 
shall be my servant; and as for 
you, get you up in peace unto your 
father. 

18 ^ Then Judah came near unto 
him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy 
servant, I pray thee, speak a word 
in my lord's ears, and h let not 
thine anger burn against thy 
servant: lor thou art » even as 
Pharaoh. 

19 My lord asked his servants, 
saying, Have ye a father, or a 
brother? 

20 And we said unto my lord, 
We have a father, an old man,

and •?' a child of his old age, a little 
one; and his brother is dead, and 
he alone is left of his mother, and 
his father loveth him. 

21 And thou saidst unto thy 
servants, ft Bring him down unto 
me, that I may set mine eyes upon 
him. 

22 And we said unto my lord, 
The lad cannot leave his father: 
for ?/he should leave his father, 
his father would die. 

23 And thou saidst unto thy 
servants, l Except your youngest 
brother come down with you, ye 
shall see my face no more. 

24 And it came to pass, when we 
came up unto thy servant my 
father, we told him the words of 
my lord. 

25 And m our father said, Go 
again, and buy us a little food. 

26 And we said, We cannot go 
down: if our youngest brother be 
with us, then will we go down: for 
we may not see the man's face, 
except our youngest brother be 
with us. 

27 And thy servant my father 
said unto us, Ye know that " my 
wife bare me two sons: 

28 And the one went out from 
me, and I said, ° Surely he is torn 
in pieces; and I saw him not 
since: 

29 And if ye p take this also from 
me, and mischief befall him, ye 
shall bring down my grey nans 
with sorrow to the grave. 

30 Now therefore, when 1 come 
to thy servant my father, and the 
lad be not with us; seeing s that 
his life is bound up in the lad's 
life; 

31 It shall come to pass, when he 
seeth that the lad is not with us, 
that he will die: and thy servants 
shall bring down the grey hairs of 
thy servant our father with sorrow 
to the grave. 

32 For thy servant became surety 
for the lad unto my father, saying, 
If r I bring him not unto thee, then 
I shall bear the blame to my father 
for ever. 

33 Now therefore, I pray thee, 
let s thy servant abide instead of 
the lad a bondman to my lord; 
and let the lad go up with his 
brethren. 

34 For how shall 1 go up to my 
father, and the lad be not with 
me? lest peradventure I see the 
evil that shall 4 come on my fa- 
ther.

CHAPTER XLV. 

1 Joseph maketh himself known to his 
brethren, and cornforteth them in God's 
providence. 9 He sendethfor hisfatlter, 
27 Tlw spirit of Jacob is revived. 

THEN Joseph could not refrain 
himself before all them that 
stood by him; and he cried, Cause 
every man to go out from me. 
And there stood no man with him 
while Joseph made himself known 
unto his brethren. 

2 And he 1 wept aloud: and the 
Egyptians and the house of Pha- 
raoh heard. 

3 And Joseph said unto his breth- 
ren, a I am Joseph: doth my father 
yet live? And his brethren could 
not answer him; for they were 

2 troubled at his presence. 

4 And Joseph said unto his breth- 
ren Come near to me, I pray you. 
And they came near. And he 
said, I am Joseph your brother, 
whom 6 ye sold into Egypt. 

5 Now therefore c be not grieved 

3 nor angry with yourselves that 
ye sold me hither; for d God did 
send me before you to preserve 
life. 

6 For these two years hath the 
famine been in the land: and yet 
there are five years, in the which 
there shall neither be earing nor 
harvest. 

7 And God sent me before you 

4 to preserve you a posterity in the 
earth, and to save your lives by a 
great deliverance. 

8 So now, it was not you thai sent 
me hither, but God: and he hath 
made me a 6 father to Pharaoh, 
and lord of all his house, and a 
ruler throughout all the land of 
Egypt. 

9 Haste ye, and go up to my 
father, and say unto him. Thus 
saith thy son Joseph, God hath 
made me lord of all Egypt: come 
down unto me, tarry not: 

10 And / thou shalt dwell in the 
land of Goshen, and thou shalt be 
near unto me, thou, and thy chil- 
dren, and thy children's children, 
and thy flocks, and thy herds, and 
all that thou hast: 

11 And there will I nourish thee; 
for ° yet there are five years of fam- 
ine; lest thou, and thy household, 
and all that thou hast, come to 
poverty. 

12 And, behold, your eyes see, 
and the eyes of my brother Ben- 
jamin, that it is h my month that 
speaketh unto you.

14 And he fell upon his brother 
Benjamin's neck, and wept; and 
Benjamin wept upon his neck. 

15 Moreover, he kissed all his 
brethren, and wept upon them: 
and after that his brethren talked 
with him. 

16 f And the fame thereof was 
heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, 
Joseph's brethren are come: and 
it 5 pleased Pharaoh well, and his 
servants. 

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; 
lade your beasts, and go, get you 
unto the land of Canaan; 

18 And take your father, and 
your households, and come unto 
me: and I will give you the good 
of the land of Egypt, and ye shall 
eat 3 the fat of the land. 

19 Now thou art commanded, 
this do ye; take you wagons out of 
the land of Egypt for your little 
ones, and for your wives, and bring 
your father, and come. 

20 Also 6 regard not your stuff; 
for the good of all the land of 
Egypt is yours. 

21 And the children of Israel did 
so: and Joseph gave them wagons, 
according to the 7 commandment 
of Pharaoh, and gave them pro- 
vision for the way. 

22 To all of them he gave each 
man changes of raiment; but to 
Benjamin he gave three hundred 
pieces of silver, and five changes of 
raiment. 

23 And to his father he sent after 
this manner; ten asses 8 laden with 
the good things of Egypt, and ten 
she-asses laden with corn and 
bread and meat for his father by 
the way. 

24 So he sent his brethren away, 
and they departed: and he said 
unto them, See that ye fall not 
out by the way. 

25 And they went up out of 
Egypt, and came into the land of 
Canaan unto Jacob their father, 

26 And told him, saying, Joseph 
is yet alive, and he is governor 
over all the land of Egypt. k And 
9 Jacob's heart fainted, for he be- 
lieved them not. 

27 And they told him all the words 
of Joseph, which he had said unto 
them: and when he 6aw the

wagons which Joseph had sent to 
carry him, the spirit of Jacob then- 
father revived: 

28 And Israel said, It is enough; 
Joseph my son is yet alive: I will 
go and see him before I die. 

CHAPTER XLYI. 

1 Jacob is comforted by God at Beer- 
sheba: 5 he goeth into Egypt: 8 the num- 
ber of his family: 28 Joseph meeteth him. 

AND Israel took his journey with 
all that he had, and came ° to 
Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices 
unto h the God of his father Isaac. 

2 And God spake unto Israel c in 
the visions of the night, and said, 
Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here 
ami. 

3 And he said, I am God, d the 
God of thy father: fear not to go 
down into Egypt; for I will there 
make e of thee a great nation. 

4 I /will go down with thee into 
Egypt; and I will also 9 surely 
bring thee up again: and h Joseph 
shall put his hand upon thine 
eyes. 

5 And * Jacob rose up from Beer- 
sheba: and the sons of Israel car- 
ried Jacob their father, and their 
little ones, and their wives, in the 
wagons which Pharaoh had sent to 
carry him. 

6 And they took their cattle, and 
their goods, which they had gotten 
in the land of Canaan, and came 
into Egypt, i Jacob, and all his 
seed with him: 

7 His sons, and his sons' sons with 
him, his daughters, and his sons' 
daughters, and all his seed, brought 
he with him into Egypt.

30 And Israel said unto Joseph, 
Now d let me die, since I have seen

alive. 

31 And Joseph said unto his 
brethren, and unto his father's 
house, I will go up, and show 
Pharaoh, and say unto him, My 
brethren, and my father's house, 
which were in the land of Canaan, 
are come unto me; 

32 And the men are shepherds,

cattle ; and they have brought 
their flocks, and then herds, and 
all that they have. 

33 And it shall come to pass, 
when Pharaoh shall call you, and 
shall say, e What is your occupa- 
tion? 

34 That ye shall say, Thy ser- 
vants' trade hath been about 
cattle /from our j'outh even until 
now, both we and also our fathers: 
that ye may dwell in the land of 
Goshen: for every shepherd is 9 an

giveththem habitation and maintenance. 
13 He getteth all the Egyptians' property 
to Pharaoh. 22 The pi~iests' land not 
bought, etc. 

THEN Joseph a came and told

and my brethren, and their flocks, 
and their herds, and all that they 
have, are come out of the land of 
Canaan; and, behold, they are in 
the h land of Goshen. 

2 And he took some of his breth- 
ren, even five men, and c presented 
them unto Pharaoh. 

3 And Pharaoh said unto his 
brethren, d What is your occupa- 
tion? And they said unto Pha- 
raoh, ' Thy servants are shepherds,

4 They said, moreover, unto Pha- 
raoh, /For to sojourn in the land

no pasture for their flocks; s for 
the famine is sore in the land of

thee, let thy servants h dwell in

faileth. 

16 And Joseph said, Give your 
cattle; and I will give you for your 
cattle, if money fail. 

17 And they brought their cattle 
unto Joseph : and Joseph gave 
them bread in exchange for horses, 
and for the flocks, and for the 
cattle of the herds, and for the 
asses; and he 3 fed them with [ 
bread for all their cattle for that 
year. 

18 When that year was ended, 
they came unto him the second 
year, and said unto him. We will 
not hide it from my lord, how that 
our money is spent; my lord also 
hath our herds of cattle: there is 
not ought left in the sight of my 
lord .but our bodies and our lands: 



Israel prospereth in Goshen. GENESIS, XLVnL Joseph visiteth his sick father. 



19 Wherefore shall we die before 
thine eyes, both we and our land? 
buy us and our land for bread, and 
we and our land will be servants 
unto Pharaoh; and give us seed, 
that we may live, and not die, that 
the land be not desolate. 

20 And Joseph bought all the 
land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for 
the Egyptians sold every man his 
field, because the famine prevailed 
over them: so the land became 
Pharaoh's. 

21 And as for the people, he re- 
moved them to cities from one end 
of the borders of Egypt even to the 
other end thereof 

22 Only v the land of the 4 priests 
bought he not: for the priests had 
a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, 
and did eat their portion which 
Pharaoh gave them; wherefore 
they sold not their lands. 

23 Then Joseph said unto the 
people, Behold, I have bought you 
this day and your land for Pha- 
raoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye 
shall sow the land. 

24 And it shall come to pass in 
the increase, that ye shall give the 
fifth part unto Pharaoh; and four 
parts shall be your own, for seed 
of the field, and for your food, and 
for them of your households, and 
for food for your little ones. 

25 And they said, Thou hast 
saved our lives: '"let us find grace 
in the sight of my lord, and we will 
be Pharaoh's servants. 

26 And Joseph made it a law 
over the land of Egypt unto this 
day, that Pharaoh should have the 
fifth part; x except the land of the 
5 priests only, which became not 
Pharaoh's. 

27 f And Israel y dwelt in the 
land of Egypt, in the country of 
Goshen; and they had possessions 
therein, and * grew, and multiplied 
exceedingly. 

28 And Jacob lived in the land 
of Egypt seventeen years: so 6 the 
whole age of Jacob was an hundred 
forty and seven years. 

29 And the time "drew nigh that 
Israel must die: and he called his 
son Joseph, and said unto him, If 
now I have found grace in thy 
sight, 6 put, I pray thee, thy hand 
under my thigh, and c deal kindly 
and truly with me; d bury me not, 
I pray thee, in Egypt:

do as thou hast said. 
31 And he said, Swear unto ma 
And he sware unto him. 9 And 
Israel bowed himself upon the 
bed's head. 

CHAPTER XLVIH. 

1 Joseph with ?ds sons visiteth his sick 
father. 3 Jacob repeateth God's pro- 
mise, and taketh Ephraim and Manas- 
seh as his own: he olesseth Joseph's sons. 

AND it came to pass after these 
things, that one told Joseph, 
Behold, thy father is sick: and he 
took with him his two sons, Ma- 
nasseh and Ephraini. 

2 And one told Jacob, and said, 
Behold, thy son Joseph cometh 
unto thee: and Israel strengthened 
himself, and sat upon the bed. 

3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, 
God Almighty appeared unto me 
at a Luz in the land of Canaan, 
and blessed me, 

4 And said unto me, Behold, I 
will make thee fruitful, and mul- 
tiply thee, and I will make of thee 
a multitude of people; and will 
give this land to thy seed after 
thee h for an everlasting possession. 

5 And now thy c two sons, Eph- 
raim and Manasseh, which were 
born unto thee in the land of 
Egypt before I came unto thee 
into Egypt, are mine: as Reuben 
and Simeon, they shall be mine. 

6 And thy issue, which thou be- 
gettest after them, shall be thine, 
and shall be called after the name 
of then brethren in their inherit- 
ance. 

7 And as for me, when I came 
from Padan, d Rachel died by me 
in the land of Canaan in the way, 
when yet there was but a little way 
to come unto Ephrath : and I 
buried her there in the way of 
Ephrath; the same is Beth-lehem. 

8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, 
and said, Who are these? 

9 And Joseph said unto his fa- 
ther, e They are my sons, whom 
God hath given me in this place. 
And he said, Bring them, I pray 
thee, unto me, and / 1 will bless 
them. 

10 Now 9 the eyes of Israel were 
1 dim for age, so that he could not 
see. And he brought them near 
unto him ; and he h kissed them, 
and embraced them. 

11 And Israel said unto Joseph, 
I » had not thought to see thy face; 
and, lo, God hath showed me also 
thy seed. 

12 And Joseph brought them out

13 And Josepb took them both, 
Ephraim in his right hand toward 
Israel's left band, and Manasseb in 
his left hand toward Israel's right 
hand, and brought them near unto 
him. 

14 And Israel stretched out bis 
right band, and laid it upon Eph- 
raim's head, who was the younger, 
and his left hand upon Manasseh's 
bead, guiding his bands wittingly; 
for Manasseh was the first-born. 

15 ^[ And i he blessed Josepb, and 
said, God, before whom my fa- 
thers Abraham and Isaac did 
walk; the God which fed me all 
my life long unto this day, 

16 The Angel * which redeemed 
me from all evil, bless the lads; 
and let z my name be named on 
them, and the name of my fa- 
thers Abraham and Isaac; and let 
them 2 grow into a multitude in 
the midst of the earth. 

17 And when Joseph saw that his 
father m laid his right hand upon 
the head of Ephraim, it 3 displeased 
him: and he held up his father's 
hand, to remove it from Eph- 
raim's bead unto Manasseh's head. 

18 And Joseph said unto his fa- 
ther, Not so, my father: for this is 
the first-born; put thy right band 
upon his head. 

19 And his father refused, and 
said, I know it, my son, I know it: 
he also shall become a people, and 
he also shall be great; but truly 
bis " younger brother shall be 
greater than he, and his seed shall 
become a 4 multitude of nations. 

20 And be blessed them that day, 
saying, ° In thee shall Israel bless, 
saying, God make thee as Eph- 
raim, and as Manasseh: and he 
set Ephraim before Manasseh. 

21 And Israel said unto Joseph, 
Behold, I die; but * God shall be 
with you, and bring you again 
unto the land of your fathers. 

22 Moreover 2 I have given to 
thee one portion above thy breth- 
ren, which I took out of the hand 
of the r Amorite witb my sword 
and with my bow.

1 The mourning for Jacob: 7 his funeral. 

34 Joseph prophesieth to his brethren 
their return to Canaan: 22 Ms age, 26 
and death. 

AND Joseph a fell upon his fa- 
ther's face, and b wept upon 
him, and kissed him. 

2 And Joseph commanded his 
servants the physicians to c em- 
balm his father: and the physicians 
embalmed Israel. 

3 And forty days were fulfilled for 
him; for so are fulfilled the days 
of those which are embalmed: and 
the Egyptians x mourned <*for him 
threescore and ten days. 

4 And when the days of his 
mourning were past, Joseph spake 
unto c the house of Pharaoh, say- 
ing, If now I have found grace in 
your eyes-, speak, I pray you, in the 
ears of Pharaoh, saying, 

5 My father made me swear, say- 
ing, Lo, I die: in my grave /which 
I have digged for me in the land 
of Canaan, there shalt thou bury 
me. Now therefore let me go up. 
I pray thee, and bury my father, 
and I will come again. 

6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and 
bury thy father, according as he 
made thee swear. 

7 f And Joseph went up to bury 
his father: and with him went up 
all the servants of Pharaoh, the 
elders of his house, and all the 
elders of the land of Egypt, 

8 And all the house of Joseph, 
and his brethren, and his father's 
house: only their little ones, and 
their flocks, and their herds, they 
left in the land of Goshen. 

9 And there went up with him 
both chariots and horsemen: and 
it was a very great company. 

10 And they came to the thresh- 
ing-floor of Atad, which is beyond 
Jordan, and there they 9 mourned 
with a great and very sore lamen- 
tation: h and he made a mourning 
for his father seven days. 

11 And when the inhabitants of 
the land, the Canaanites, saw the 
mourning in the floor of Atad, 
they said, This is a grievous

mourning to the Egyptians: where- 
fore the name of it was called 
2 Abel-mizraim, which is beyond 
Jordan. 

12 And his sons did unto him 
according as he commanded them: 

13 For 'his sons carried him into 
the land of Canaan, and buried 
him in the cave of the field of 
Machpelah, which Abraham 
bought with the field for a posses- 
sion of a burying-place of Ephron 
the Hittite, before Mamre. 

14 And Joseph returned into 
Egypt, he, and his brethren, and 
all that went up with him to bury 
his father, after he had buried his 
father. 

16 ^f And when Joseph's brethren 
saw that their father was dead, 
they i said, Joseph will perad- 
venture hate us, and will certainly 
requite us all the evil which we did 
unto him. 

16 And they 3 sent a messenger 
unto Joseph, saying, Thy father 
did command before he died, 
saying, 

17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, 
Forgive, I pray thee now, the tres- 
pass of thy brethren, and their sin; 
for k they did unto thee evil: and 
now, we pray thee, forgive the 
trespass of the servants of l the 
God of thy father. And Joseph 
wept when they spake unto him. 

18 And his brethren also went 
and Wi fell down before his face;

God? 

20 But °as for you, ye thought 
evil against me; but p God meant it

and spake 4 kindly unto them.

Joseph lived an hundred and ten 
years. 

23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's

the children also of Machir the 
son of Manasseh "were 5 broughtup

brethren, 1 die: and 'God will 
surely visit you, and bring you out

he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, 
and to Jacob. 

25 And " Joseph took an oath 
of the children of Israel, saying, 
God will surely visit you, and ye 
shall carry up my tones from 
hence. 

26 So Joseph died, being an hun- 
dred and ten years old: and they 
embalmed him, and he was put in

7 And e the children of Israel 
were fruitful, and increased abun- 
dantly, and multiplied, and waxed 
exceeding mighty; and the land 
was filled with them. 

8 % Now there arose up a new 
king over Egypt, which knew not 
Joseph. 

9 And he said unto his people, 
Behold, /the people of the children 
of Israel are more and mightier 
than we: 

10 Come 9 on, let us h deal wisely 
with them; lest they multiply, and 
it come to pass, that, when there 
falleth out any war, they join also 
unto our enemies, and fight against 
us, and so get them up out of the 
land. 

11 Therefore they did set over 
them taskmasters • to afflict them

with their i burdens. And they 
built for Pharaoh treasure cities, 
Pithom * and Eaamses. 

12 2 But the more they afflicted 
them, the more they multiplied 
and grew. And they were grieved 
because of the children of Israel. 

13 And the Egyptians made the 
children of Israel to serve with 
rigour: 

14 And they l made their lives 
bitter with hard bondage, m in 
mortar, and in brick, and in all 
manner of service in the field: all 
their service, wherein they made 
them serve, was with rigour. 

15 f And the king of Egypt spake 
to the Hebrew midwives; of which 
the name of the one was Shiphrah, 
and the name of the other Puah; 

16 And he said, When ye do the 
office of a midwife to the Hebrew 
women, and see them upon the 
stools, if it be a son, then" ye shall 
kill him; but if it be a daughter, 
then she shall live. 

17 But the midwives "feared God, 
and did not ° as the Idng of Egypt 
commanded them, but saved the 
men-children alive. 

18 And the ldng of Egypt called 
for the midwives, and said unto 
them, Why have ye done this thing, 
and have saved the men-children 
alive? 

19 And 1 ' the midwives said unto 
Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew 
women are not as the Egyptian 
women; for they are lively, and 
are delivered ere the midwives 
come in unto them. 

20 Therefore s God dealt well with 
the midwives: and the people 
multiplied, and waxed very 
mighty. 

21 And it came to pass, because 
the midwives feared God, r that he 
made them houses. 

22 And Pharaoh charged all his 
people, saying, Every son that is 
bom ye shall cast into the river, 
and every daughter ye shall save 
alive.

3 And when she could not longer 
hide him, she took for him an ark 
of bulrushes, and daubed it with 
slime and with pitch, and put the 
child therein ; and she laid it in 
the flags by the river's brink. 

4 And c his sister stood afar off, to 
wit what would be done to him. 

5 1f And the d daughter of Pharaoh 
came down to wash herself 'at the 
river; and her maidens walked 
along by the river's side; and 
when she saw the ark among the 
flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 

6 And when she had opened it, 
she saw the child: and, behold, the 
babe wept. And she had com- 
passion on him, and said, This is 
one of the Hebrews' children. 

7 Then said his sister to Pha- 
raoh's daughter, Shall I go and 
call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew 
women, that she may nurse the 
child for thee? 

8 And Pharaoh's daughter said tc 
her, Go. And the maid went and 
called the child's mother. 

9 And Pharaoh's daughter said 
unto her, Take this child away, 
and nurse it for me, and I will 
give thee thy wages. And the 
woman took the child, and nursed 
it. 

10 And the child grew, and she 
brought him unto Pharaoh's 
daughter, and he became her son. 
And she called his name x Moses: 
and she said, Because I drew him 
out of the water. 

11 ^ And it came to pass in those 
days, e when Moses was grown, that 
he went out unto his brethren, and 
looked on their burdens: and he 
spied an Egyptian smiting an He- 
brew, one of his brethren. 

12 And he looked this way and 
that way, and when he saw that 
there was no man, he slew the 
Egyptian, and hid him in the 
sand. 

13 And when he went out the 
second day, behold, two men of 
the Hebrews strove together: and 
he said to him that did the 
wrong, Wherefore smitest thou 
thy fellow? 

14 And he said, Who made thee 
2 a prince and a judge over us ? 
Intendest thou to kill me, as thou 
killedst the Egyptian ? And Moses 
feared, and said, Surely this thing 
is known. 

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this 
thing, he sought to slay Moses. 
But Moses fled from the face of

Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of 
Midian: and he sat down by /a 
well. 

16 Now g the 3 priest of Midian 
had seven daughters: ft and they 
came and drew water, and filled 
the troughs to water their father's 
flock. 

17 And the shepherds came and 
drove them away: hut Moses stood 
up and helped them, and watered 
their flock. 

18 And when they came to *Keuel 
their father, he said, How is it that 
ye are come so soon to-day? 

19 And they said, An Egyptian 
delivered us out of the hand of 
the shepherds, and also drew water 
enough for us, and watered the 
flock. 

20 And he said unto his daugh- 
ters, And where is he? why is it 
that ye have left the man? call him, 
that he may $ eat bread. 

21 And Moses was content to 
dwell with the man: and he gave 
Moses Zipporah his daughter. 

22 And she bare Mm a son, and 
he called his name i Gershom: ;; for 
he said, I have been l a stranger in 
a strange land. 

23 % And it came to pass m in 
process of time, that the king of 
Egypt died : and the children of 
Israel n sighed by reason of the 
bondage, and they cried; and 
their ° cry came up unto God by 
reason of the bondage. 

24 And God p heard their groan- 
ing, and God q remembered his 
covenant r with Abraham, with 
Isaac, and with Jacob. 

25 And God * looked upon the 
children of Israel, and God 5 had 
respect unto them.

and came to a the mountain of 
God, even to Horeb. 

2 And 5 the Angel of the Lord

fire out of the midst of a bush: and

burned with fire, and the bush was 
not consumed.

sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4 And when the Lord saw that 
he turned aside to see, God called 
unto d him out of the midst of the 
bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And 
he said. Here am L 

5 And he said, Draw not nigh 
hither: 6 put off thy shoes from off 
thy feet, for the place whereon 
thou standest is holy ground. 

6 Moreover he said, /I am the 
God of thy father, the God of 
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and 
the God of Jacob. And Moses hid 
his face; for 9 he was afraid to look 
upon God. 

f f And the Lord said, 1 have 
surely seen the affliction of my 
people which are in Egypt, and 
have heard their cry by reason of 
their taskmasters; for h I know 
their sorrows; 

8 And *I am come down to I de- 
liver them out of the hand of the 
Egyptians, and to bring them up 
out of that land * unto a good land 
and a large, unto a land l flowing 
with milk and honey; unto the 
place of the m Canaanites, and the 
Hittites, and the Amorites, and 
the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and 
the Jebusites. 

9 Now therefore, behold, the ciy 
of the children of Israel is come 
unto me: and I have also seen the 
oppression n wherewith the Egyp- 
tians oppress them. 

10 Come ° now therefore, and I 
will send thee unto Pharaoh, that 
thou mayest bring forth my peo- 
ple the children of Israel out of 
Egypt. 

11 fl And Moses said unto God, 
Who p am I, that I should go unto 
Pharaoh, and that I should bring 
forth the children of Israel out of 
Egypt? 

12 And he said, q Certainly I will 
be with thee; and this shall be a 
token unto thee that I have sent 
thee: When thou hast brought 
forth the people out of Egypt, ye 
shall serve God upon this moun- 
tain. 

13 And Moses said unto God, Be- 
hold, when I come unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, and shall say unto 
them, The God of your fathers 
hath sent me unto you; and they 
shall say to me, r What is hk 
name ? what shall I say unto them ? 

14 And God said unto Moses, I 
AM THAT I AM: and he said, 
Thus shalt thou say unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, s I AM hath sent 
me unto you. 



Moses encouraged by signs

15 And God said moreover unto 
Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto 
the children of Israel, The Lord 
God of your fathers, the God of 
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and 
the God of Jacob, hath sent me 
unto you: this is * my name for 
ever, and this is my memorial un- 
to all generations. 

16 Go, and gather the elders of 
Israel together, and say unto them, 
The " Lord God of your fathers, 
the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and 
of Jacob, appeared unto me, say- 
ing, " I have surely visited you, and 
seen that which is done to you in 
Egypt: 

17 And 1 have said, w I win bring 
you up out of the affliction of Egypt 
unto the land of the Canaanites, 
and the Hittites, and the Amorites, 
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, 
and the Jebusites, unto a land 
flowing with milk and honey. 

18 And they shall hearken to thy 
voice: and thou shalt come, thou 
and the elders of Israel, unto the 
king of Egypt, and ye shall say 
unto him, The Lord God of the 
Hebrews hath * met with us : and 
now let us go, we beseech thee, 
three days' journey into the wil- 
derness, that we may sacrifice to 
the Lord our God. 

19 And I am sure that the king 
of Egypt will not let you go, x no, 
not by a mighty hand. 

20 And I will stretch out my 
hand, and smite Egypt with y all 
my wonders which I will do in the 
midst thereof : and z after that he 
will let you go. 

21 And a I will give this people 
favour in the sight of the Egyp- 
tians: and it shall come to pass, 
that, when ye go, ye shall not go 
empty: 

22 But b every woman shall bor- 
row of her neighbour, and of her 
that sojourneth in her house, jewels 
of silver, and jewels of gold, and 
raiment: and ye shall put them 
upon your sons, and upon your 
daughters; c and ye shall spoil -the 
Egyptians.

2 And the Lord said unto him, 
What is that in thine hand? And 
he said, A rod. 

3 And he said, Cast it on the 
ground. And he cast it on the 
ground, and it became a serpent; 
and Moses fled from before it. 

4 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Put forth thine hand, and take it 
by the tail. And he put forth his 
hand, and caught it, and it became 
a rod in his hand: 

5 That they may a believe that 
the Lord God of then fathers, the 
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, 
and the God of Jacob, hath ap- 
peared unto thee. 

6 % And the Lord said further- 
more unto him, Put now thine 
hand into thy bosom. And he 
put his hand into his bosom: and 
when he took it out, behold, his 
hand was leprous h as snow. 

7 And he said, Put thine hand 
into thy bosom again. And he 
put his hand into his bosom again; 
and plucked it out of his bosom, 
and, behold, c it was turned again 
as his other flesh. 

8 And it shall come to pass, if 
they will not believe thee, neither 
hearken to the voice of the first 
sign, that they will believe the 
voice of the latter sign. 

9 And it shall come to pass, if 
they will not believe also these 
two signs, neither hearken unto 
thy voice, that thou shalt take of 
the water of the river, and pour it 
upon the dry land: and d the water 
which thou takest out of the river 
1 shall become blood upon the dry 
land. 

10 1[ And Moses said unto the 
Lord, O my Lord, I am not 2 elo- 
quent, neither 3 heretofore, nor 
since thou hast spoken unto thy 
servant; but 6 1 am slow of speech, 
and of a slow tongue. 

11 And the Lord said unto him, 
Who /hath made man's mouth? 
or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, 
or the seeing, or the blind? have 
not I the Lord? 

12 Now therefore go, and I will 
be ff with thy mouth, and teach 
thee what thou shalt say. 

13 And he said, O my Lord, 
send, h I pray thee, by the hand 
of him whom thou 4 wilt send. 

14= And the anger of the Lord 
was kindled against Moses, and he 
said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy 
brother? I know that he can speak 
, well. And also, behold, he cometh

forth to meet thee: and when he 
seeth thee, he will be glad in his 
heart. 

15 And thou shalt speak unto 
him, and * put words in his mouth: 
and 1 will be with thy mouth, and 
with his mouth, and-? will teach 
you what ye shall do. 

16 And he shall be thy spokes- 
man unto the people: and he shall 
be, even he shall be to thee instead 
of a mouth, and k thou shalt be to 
him instead of God. 

17 And thou shalt take this rod 
in thine hand, wherewith thou 
shalt do signs. 

18 f And Moses went and re- 
turned to 5 Jethro his father-in- 
law, and said unto him, Let me 
go, I pray thee, and return unto 
my brethren which are in Egypt, 
and see whether they be yet alive. 
And Jethro said to Moses, Go in 
peace. 

19 And the Lord said unto 
Moses in Midian, Go, return into 
Egypt: for l all the men are dead 
which sought thy life. 

20 And Moses took Ms wife and 
his sons, and set them upon an 
ass, and he returned to the land of 
Egypt: and Moses took the m rod 
of God in his hand. 

21 And the Lord said unto 
Moses, When thou goest to return 
into Egypt, see that thou do all 
those wonders before Pharaoh 
which I have put in thine hand: 
but * I will harden his heart, that 
he shall not let the people go. 

22 And thou shalt say unto 
Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lobd, 
Israel ° is my son, p even my first- 
born: 

23 And I say unto thee, Let my 
son go, that he may serve me: and 
if thou refuse to let him go, behold, 
1 2 will slay thy son, even thy first- 
born. 

24 \ And it came to pass by the 
way in the inn, that the r LoRD 
met him, and sought to s kill him. 

25 Then Zipporah took l a sharp 
6 stone, and cut off the foreskin of 
her son, and 7 cast it at his feet, 
and said, Surely a bloody husband 
art thou to me. 

26 So he let him go: then she 
said, A bloody husband thou art, 
because of the circumcision. 

27 % And the Lord said to Aaron, 
Go into the wilderness to meet 
Moses. And he went, and met 
him in "the mount of God, and 
kissed him.

28 And Moses told Aaron all the 
words of the Lord who had sent 
him, and all the signs which he 
had commanded him. 

29 % And Moses and Aaron 
went and * gathered together all 
the elders of the children of Israel: 

30 And Aaron spake all the 
words which the Lord had spoken 
unto Moses, and did the signs in 
the sight of the people. 

31 And the people w believed: 
and when they heard that the 
Lord had x visited the children of 
Israel, and that he had y looked 
upoai their affliction, then * they 
bowed their heads and worshipped. 

CHAPTEE V. 

1 Pharaoh chideth Moses and Aaron: 6 he 
increaseth the Israelites' task: 10 the 
people Jiave no straw. 

AND afterward Moses and Aaron 
went in, and told Pharaoh, 
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, 
Let my people go, that they may 
hold "a feast unto me in the 
wilderness. 

2 And Pharaoh said, h Who is the 
Lord, that I should obey his voice 
to let Israel go? I know not the 
Lord, c neither will I let Israel go. 

3 And they said, d The God of 
the Hebrews hath met with us: 
let us go, we pray thee, three days' 
journey into the desert, and sacri- 
fice unto the Lord our God; lest he 
fall upon us with pestilence, or with 
the sword. 

4 And the king of Egypt said 
imto them, "Wherefore do ye, 
Moses and Aaron, let the people 
from their works? get you unto 
your /burdens. 

5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the 
people of the land now are 9 many, 
and ye make them rest from their 
burdens. 

6 And Pharaoh commanded the 
same day the h taskmasters of the 
people, and their officers, saying, 

7 Ye shall no more give the 
people straw to make brick, as 
heretofore: let them go and gather 
straw for themselves. 

8 And the tale of the bricks, 
which they did make heretofore, 
ye shall lay upon them; ye shall 
not diminish ought thereof: for 
they be idle; therefore they cry, 
saying, Let us go and sacrifice to 
our God. 

9 l Let there more work be laid 
upon the men, that they may la- 
bour therein; and let them not 
regard vain words. 



Moses complaineth to God. 



EXODUS, VI. 



God promiseth deliverance. 



10 f And the 'taskmasters of the 
people went out, and their officers, 
and they spake to the people, 
saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will 
not give you straw. 

11 Go ye, get you straw where 
ye can find it: yet not ought of 
your work shall be diminished. 

12 So the people were scattered 
abroad throughout all the land of 
Egypt to gather stubble instead of 
straw. 

13 And the taskmasters hasted 
them, saying, Fulfil your works, 
your 2 daily tasks, as when there 
was straw. 

14 And i the officers of the chil- 
dren of Israel, which Pharaoh's 
taskmasters had set over them, 
were beaten, and demanded, 
Wherefore have ye not fulfilled 
your task in making brick both 
yesterday and to-day, as hereto- 
fore? 

15 % Then the officers of the 
children of Israel came and cried 
unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore 
dealest thou thus with thy 
servants? 

16 There is no straw given unto 
thy servants, and they say to us, 
Make brick: and, behold, thy 
servants are beaten; but the fault 
is in thine own people. 

17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are 
idle: therefore ye say, Let us go 
and do sacrifice to the Lord. 

18 Go therefore now and work: 
for there shall no straw be given 
you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of 
bricks. 

19 And the officers of the children 
of Israel did see that they were in 
evil case, after it was said, Ye shall 
not minish ought from your bricks 
of your daily task 

20 *([ And they met Moses and 
Aaron, who stood in the way, as 
they came forth from Pharaoh: 

21 And fc they said unto them. 
The Lord look upon you, and 
judge; because ye have made our 
savour 3 to be abhoixed in the eyes 
of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his 
servants, to put a sword in then- 
hand to slay us. 

22 And Moses l returned unto the 
Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore 
hast thou so evil entreated this 
people? why is it that thou hast 
sent me? 

23 For since I came to Pharaoh 
to speak in thy name, he hath done 
evil to this people; i neither m hast 
thou delivered thy people at alL

1 God reneweth his promise by his name 
JEHOVAH. 14 The generations of 
Reuben, 15 of Simeon, 16 of Levi. 

THEN the Lord said unto Moses, 
Now shalt thou see what I 
will do to Pharaoh: for with a 
strong hand shall he let them go, 
and with a strong hand a shall he 
drive them out of his land. 

2 And God spake unto Moses, 
and said unto him, I am 1 the 
Lord: 

3 And I appeared unto Abraham, 
unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the 
name of b God Almighty; but ° by 
my name JEHOVAH was I not 
known to them. 

4 And d I have also established 
my covenant with them, e to give 
them the land of Canaan, the land 
of their pilgiimage, wherein they 
were strangers. 

5 And /I have also heard the 
groaning of the children of Israel, 
whom the Egyptians keep in 
bondage; and 1 have remembered 
my covenant. 

6 Wherefore say unto the children 
of Israel, I am the Lord, and g I 
will bring you out from under the 
burdens of the Egyptians, and I 
will rid you out of their bondage, 
and I will h redeem you with a 
stretched-out arm, and with great 
judgments: 

7 And I will * take you to me for 
a people, and i I will be to you a 
God: and ye shall know that I am 
the Lord your God, which bring- 
eth you out k from under the bur- 
dens of the Egyptians. 

8 And I will bring you in unto the 
land, concerning the which I did 

2 swear l to give it to Abraham, to 
Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will 
give it you for an heritage: I am 
the Lord. 

9 % And Moses spake so unto 
the children of Israel: but they 
hearkened not unto Moses for 

3 anguish of spirit, and for cruel 
bondage. 

10 And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh 
king of Egypt, that he let the 
children of Israel go out of his 
land. 

12 And Moses spake before the 
Lord, saying, Behold, the children 
of Israel have not hearkened unto 
me; how then shall Pharaoh hear 
me. m who am of uncircumcised

them a charge unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, and unto Pharaoh

dren of Israel out of the land of 
Egypt. 

14 % These be the heads of their

from the land of Egypt, according 
to their v armies. 

27 These are they which spake 
to Pharaoh king of Egypt, ^to 
bring out the children of Israel 
from Egypt: these are that Moses 
and Aaron. 

28 If And it came to pass, on the 
day when the Lord spake unto 
Moses in the land of Egypt, 

29 That the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, I am the Lord: 
speak "thou unto Pharaoh king 
of Egypt all that I say unto thee. 

30 And Moses said before the 
Lord, Behold, I am, b of uncircum- 
cised lips, arid how shall Pharaoh 
hearken unto me? 

CHAPTER VIL 

1 Moses is encouraged to go to Pharaoh: 
10 his rod turned into a serpent: 11 the 
sorcerers do the like. 13 Pharaoh's 
heart is hardened. 19 The river is 
turned into blood. 

AND the Lord said unto Moses, 
See, I have made thee a a god 
to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother 
shall be thy prophet. 

2 Thou shalt speak all that I 
command thee; and Aaron thy 
brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, 
that he send the children of Israel 
out of his land. 

3 And I will harden Pharaoh's 
heart, and b multiply my c signs 
and my wonders in the land of 
Egypt. 

4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken 
unto you, d that I may lay my 
hand upon Egypt, and bring forth 
mine armies, and my people the 
children of Israel, out of the land 
of Egypt e by great judgments. 

5 And the Egyptians shall know 
that fl am the Lord, -when g I 
stretch forth mine hand upon 
Egypt, and bring out the children 
of Israel from among them. 

6 And Moses and Aaron did as 
the Lord commanded them, so 
did they. 

7 And Moses was 7t fourscore years 
old, and Aaron fourscore and three 
years old, when they spake unto 
Pharaoh. 

8 f And the Lord spake unto 
Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 

9 "When Pharaoh shall speak unto 
you, saying, ^Show a miracle for 
you: then thou shalt say unto 
Aaron, ^' Take thy rod, and cast it 
before Pharaoh, and it shall become 
a serpent. 

10 1| And Moses and Aaron went 
in unto Pharaoh, and they did so

as the Lord had commanded: and 
Aaron cast down his rod before 
Pharaoh, and before his servants, 
and it * became a Serpent. 

11 Then Pharaoh also l called the 
wise men and m the sorcerers: now 
the magicians of Egypt, they also 
did n m. like manner with their 
enchantments. 

12 For they cast down every 
man his rod, and they became 
serpents: bnt Aaron's rod swal- 
lowed up their rods. 

13 And he hardened Pharaoh's 
heart, that he hearkened not unto 
them; °as the Lord had said. 

14 If And the Lord said unto 
Moses, ^Pharaoh's heart is hard- 
ened, he refuseth to let the people 
go. 

15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the 
morning; lo,he goeth out unto the 
water; and thou shalt stand by 
the river's brink against he come; 
and q the rod which was turned to 
a serpent shalt thou take in thine 
hand. 

16 And thou shalt say unto him, 
The Lord God of the Hebrews 
hath sent me unto thee, saying, 
Let my people go, r that they may 
serve me in the wilderness: and, 
behold, hitherto thou wouldest not 
hear. 

17 Thus saith the Lord, In this 
thou 8 shalt know that I am the 
Lord: behold, I will smite with 
the rod that is in mine hand upon 
the waters which are in the river, 
and 'they shall be turned M to 
blood. 

18 And the fish that is in the 
river shall die, and the river shall 
stink; and the Egyptians shall 
loathe " to drink of the water of 
the river. 

19 ^[ And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy 
rod, and w stretch out thine hand 
upon the waters of Egypt, upon 
their streams, upon their rivers, 
and upon their ponds, and upon all 
their l pools of water, that they 
may become blood; and that there 
may be blood throughout all the 
land of Egypt, both in vessels of 
wood, and in vessels of stone. 

20 And Moses and Aaron did so, 
as the Lord commanded; and x he 
lifted up the rod, and smote the 
waters that were in the river, in the 
sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight 
of his servants; and all the waters 
that y were in the river were turned 
to blood.

21 And the fish that was in the 
river died; and the river stank, 
and the Egyptians could not drink 
of the water of the river: and there 
was blood throughout all the land 
of Egypt. 

22 And the magicians of Egypt 
did so with their enchantments: 
and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, 
neither did he hearken unto them; 
as the Lord had said. 

23 And Pharaoh turned and 
went into his house, neither z did 
he set his heart to this also. 

24 And all the Egyptians digged 
round about the river for water to 
drink; for they could not drink of 
the water of the river. 

25 And seven days were fulfilled, 
after that the Lord had smitten 
the river. 

CHAPTER Vm. 

1 Frogs are threatened, 5 and sent. 16 Hie 
dust is turned into lice, which the magi- 
cians could not do. 20 The plague, of 
files. 32 Pharaoh is still hardened. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, 
Go unto Pharaoh, and say 
unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
Let my people go, " that they may 
serve me. 

2 And if thou 6 refuse to let them 
go, behold, I will smite all thy 
borders with c frogs: 

3 And the river shall bring forth 
frogs abundantly, which shall go 
up and come into thine house, and 
into d thy bed-chamber, and upon 
thy bed, and into the house of thy 
servants, and upon thy people, 
and into thine ovens, and into thy 
1 kneading troughs: 

4 And the frogs shall come up 
both on thee, and upon thy people, 
and upon all thy servants. 

5 % And the Lord spake unto 
Moses. Say unto Aaron, e Stretch 
forth thine hand with thy rod 
over the streams, over the rivers, 
and over the ponds, and cause 
frogs to come up upon the land of 
Egypt. 

6 And Aaron stretched out his 
hand over the waters of Egypt; 
and /the frogs came up, and cov- 
ered the land of Egypt. 

7 And ^the magicians did so with 
their enchantments, and brought 
up frogs upon the land of Egypt. 

8 «f Then Pharaoh called for 
Moses and Aaron, and said, h En- 
treat the Lord, that he may take 
away the frogs from me, and from 
my people; and I will let the peo-

pie go, that they may do sacrifice 
unto the Lord. 

9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, 
2 Glory over me: 3 when shall I 
entreat for thee, and for thy ser- 
vants, and for thy people, 4 to de- 
stroy the frogs from thee and thy 
houses, that they may remain in 
the river only? 

10 And he said, 5 To-morrow. 
And he said, Be it according to 
thy word; that thou mayest know 
that i there is none like unto the 
Lord our God. 

11 And the frogs shall depart 
from thee, and from thy houses, 
and from thy servants, and from 
thy people; they shall remain in 
the river only. 

12 And Moses and Aaron went 
out from Pharaoh: and Moses 
cried ■Punto the Lord hecause of 
the frogs which he had Drought 
against Pharaoh. 

13 And the Lord did according 
to the word of Moses; and the 
frogs died out of the houses, out of 
the villages, and out of the fields. 

14 And they gathered them to- 
gether upon heaps; and the land 
stank. 

15 But when Pharaoh saw that 
there was * respite, 'he hardened 
his heart, and hearkened not 
unto them; as the Lord had 
said. 

16 *[ And the Lord said unto 
Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch 
out thy rod, and smite the dust of 
the land, that it may become lice 
throughout all the land of Egypt. 

17 And they did so: for Aaron 
stretched out his hand with his 
rod, and smote the dust of the 
earth, and m it became lice in man 
and in beast; all the dust of the 
land became lice throughout all 
the land of Egypt 

18 And "the magicians did so 
with their enchantments to bring 
forth lice, but they ° could not: so 
there were lice upon man and 
upon beast. 

19 Then the magicians said unto 
Pharaoh, This is ^the finger of 
God: and Pharaoh's heart was

21 Else, if thou wilt not let my 
people go, behold, I will send 6 
swarms of flies upon thee, and upon 
thy servants, and upon thy people, 
and into thy houses: and the 
houses of the Egyptians shall be 
full of swarms of flies, and also the 
ground whereon they are. 

22 And r I will sever in that day 
the land of Goshen, in which my 
people dwell, that no swarms of 
flies shall be there; to the end thou 
mayest know that I am the Lord 
in the midst of the earth. 

23 And I will put 7 a division 
between my people and thy peo- 
ple: 8 to-morrow shall this sign 
be. 

24 And the Lord did so: s and 
there came a grievous swarm of 
flies into the house of Pharaoh, and 
into his servants' houses, and into 
all the land of Egypt: the land was 
9 corrupted by reason of the swarm 
of flies. 

25 % And Pharaoh called for 
Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go 
ye, sacrifice to your God in the 
land. 

26 And Moses said, It is not meet 
so to do; for we shall sacrifice the 
abomination ' of the Egyptians to 
the Lord our God: lo, shall we 
sacrifice the abomination of the 
Egyptians before their eyes, and 
will they not stone us? 

27 We will go u three days' jour- 
ney into the wilderness, and sacri- 
fice to the Lord our God, as "he 
shall command us. 

28 And Pharaoh said, I will let 
you go, that ye may sacrifice to the 
Lord your God in the wilderness; 
only ye shall not go very far away: 
entreat w for me. 

29 And Moses said, Behold, I go 
out from thee, and I will entreat 
the Lord that the swarms of flies 
may depart from Pharaoh, from 
his servants, and from his people, 
to-morrow: but let not Pharaoh 
deal deceitfully any more in not 
letting the people go to sacrifice to 
the Lord. 

30 And Moses went out from 
Pharaoh, and entreated the Lord. 

31 And * the Lord did according 
to the word of Moses; and he re- 
moved the swarms of flies from 
Pharaoh, from his servants, and 
from his people: there remained 
not one. 

32 And Pharaoh v hardened his 
heart at this time also, neither 
would he let the people go, 



The murrain of beasts. 



EXODUS, IX. 



The plague of Mil 



CHAPTER IX. 

1 The murrain of leasts. 8 The plague of 
boils and blains, 22 of hail. 27 Pluiraoh 
sueth to Moses, 35 but yet is hardened. 

THEN the Lord said unto Moses, 
Go °in unto Pharaoh, and tell 
him, Thus saith the Lord God of 
the Hehrews, Let my people go, 
that they may serve me. 

2 For if thou h refuse to let them 
go, and wilt hold them still, 

3 Behold, the c hand of the Lord 
is upon thy cattle which is in the 
field, upon the horses, upon the 
asses, upon the camels, upon the 
oxen, and upon the sheep: there 
shall be a very grievous murrain. 

4 And d the Lord shall sever be- 
tween the cattle of Israel and the 
cattle of Egypt: and there shall 
nothing die of all that is the chil- 
dren's of Israel. 

5 And the Lord appointed a set 
time, saying, To-morrow the Lord 
shall do this thing in the land. 

6 And the Lord did that thing 
on the morrow, and 6 all the cattle 
of Egypt died: but of the cattle of 
the children of Israel died not one. 

7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, 
there was not one of the cattle of 
the Israelites dead. And /the 
heart of Pharaoh was hardened, 
and he did not let the people go. 

8 ^[ And the Lord said unto 
Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you 
handfuls of ashes of the furnace, 
and let Moses sprinkle it toward 
the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 

9 And it shall become small dust 
in all the land of Egypt, and shall 
be g a boil breaking forth with 
blains upon man, and upon beast, 
throughout all the land of Egypt. 

10 And they took ashes of the 
furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; 
and Moses sprinkled it up toward 
heaven; and it became A a boil 
breaking forth with blains upon 
man and upon beast. 

11 And the * magicians could not 
stand before Moses because of the 
boils; for the boil was upon the 
magicians, and upon all the 
Egyptians. 

12 And i the Lord hardened the 
heart of Pharaoh, and he hearken- 
ed not unto them; as k the Lord 
had spoken unto Moses. 

13 *\\ And the Lord said unto 
Moses, l Eise up early in the morn- 
ing, and stand before Pharaoh, 
and say unto him, Thus saith the 
Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my 
people go, that they may serve me.

14 For I will at this time send all 
my plagues upon thine heart, and 
upon thy servants, and upon thy 
people; m that thou mayest know 
that there is none like me in all the 
earth. 

15 For now I will n stretch out 
my hand, that I may smite thee 
and thy people with pestilence; 
and thou shalt be cut off from the 
earth. 

16 And in very deed for ° this 
cause have I l raised thee up, for 
to show in thee my power; and 
that my name may be declared 
throughout all the earth. 

17 As yet exaltest thou thyself 
against my people, that thou wilt 
not let them go? 

18 Behold, to-morrow about this 
time I will cause it to rain a very 
grievous hail, such as hath not 
been in Egypt since the founda- 
tion thereof even until now. 

19 Send therefore now, and gather 
thy cattle, and all that thou hast 
in the field; for upon eveiy man 
and beast which shall be found in 
the field, and shall not be brought 
home, the hail shall come down 
upon them, and they shall die. 

20 He that feared the word of the 
Lord among the servants of Pha- 
raoh made his servants and his 
cattle flee into the houses: 

21 And he that 2 regarded not the 
word of the Lord left his servants 
and his cattle in the field. 

22 ^ And the Lord said unto 
Moses, Stretch forth thine hand 
toward heaven, that there may be 
hail y in all the land of Egypt, 
upon man, and upon beast, and 
upon every herb of the field, 
throughout the land of Egypt. 

23 And Moses stretched forth his 
rod toward heaven; and q the Lord 
sent thunder and hail, and the fire 
ran along upon the ground; and 
the Lord rained hail upon the 
land of Egj?pt. 

24 So there was hail, and fire 
mingled with the hail very griev- 
ous, such as there was none like it 
in all the land of Egypt since it 
became a nation. 

25 And the hail smote through- 
out all the land of Egypt all that 
was in the field, both man and 
beast; and the hail r smote every 
herb of the field, and brake every 
tree of the field. 

26 Only s in the land of Goshen, 
where the children of Israel were, 
was there no hail. 



Pharaoh repents, 



EXODUS, X. 



but is again hardened. 



27 % And Pharaoh sent, and 
called for Moses and Aaron, and 
said unto them, 1 1 have sinned 
this time: u the Lord is righteous, 
and I and my people are wicked. 

28 Entreat ° the Lord (for it is 
enough) that there he no more 

3 mighty thunderings and hail; 
and I will let you go, and ye shall 
stay no longer. 

29 And Moses said unto him, As 
soon as I am gone out of the city, 
I w will spread abroad my hands 
unto the Lord; and the thunder 
shall cease, neither shall there be 
any more hail; that thou mayest 
know how that the x earth is the 
Lord's. 

30 But as for thee and thy ser- 
vants, y I know that ye will not 
yet fear the Lord God. 

31 And the flax and the barley 
was smitten; 2 for the barley was 
in the ear, and the flax was boiled. 

32 But the wheat and the iye 
were not smitten; for they were 
i not grown up. 

33 And Moses went out of the 
city from Pharaoh, and a spread 
abroad his hands unto the Lord; 
and the thunders and hail ceased, 
and the rain was not poured upon 
the earth. 

34 And when Pharaoh saw that 
the rain and the hail and the 
thunders were ceased, he sinned 
yet more, and hardened his heart, 
he and his servants. 

35 And the heart of Pharaoh was 
hardened, neither would he let 
the children of Israel go; as the 
Lord had spoken 5 by Moses. 

CHAPTER X. 

4 God threateneth to send locusts. 7 Pha- 
raoh, moved by his servants, inclineth to 
let the Israelites go. 12 The plagve of 
locusts, 21 of darkness. 24 Pharaoh su- 
eth to Moses: 27 his heart is yet hard- 
ened. 

AND the Lord said unto Moses, 
Go in unto Pharaoh: "for I 
have hardened his heart, and the 
heart of his servants, that b I 
might show these my signs before 
him: 

2 And that c thou mayest tell in 
the ears of thy son, and of thy 
son's son, what things I have 
wrought in Egypt, and my signs 
which I have done among them; 
that ye may know how that I am 
the Lord.

Hebrews, How long wilt thou re- 
fuse to d humble thyself before me ? 
let my people go, that they may 
serve me: 

4 Else, if thou refuse to let my 
people go, behold, to-morrow will 
I bring the e locusts into thy 
coast: 

5 And they shall cover the J face 
of the earth, that one cannot be 
able to see the earth: and / they 
shall eat the residue of that which 
is escaped, which remaineth unto 
you from the hail, and shall eat 
every tree which groweth for you 
out of the field: 

6 And they * shall fill thy houses, 
and the houses of all thy servants, 
and the houses of all the Egyp- 
tians; which neither thy fathers, 
nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, 
since the day that they were upon 
the earth unto this day. And he 
turned himself, and went out from 
Pharaoh. 

7 And Pharaoh's servants said 
unto him, How long shall this 
man be h a snare unto us? let the 
men go, that they may serve the 
Lord their God: knowest thou not 
yet that Egypt is destroyed? 

8 And Moses and Aaron were 
brought again unto Pharaoh: and 
he said unto them, Go, serve the 
Lord your God: 2 but who are they 
that shall go? 

9 And Moses said, * We will go 
with our young and with our old, 
with our sons and with our daugh- 
ters, with our flocks and with our 
herds will we go: for iwe must 
hold a feast unto the Lord. 

10 And he said unto them, Let 
the Lord be so with you, as I will 
let you go, and your little ones: 
look to it; for evil is before you. 

11 Not so: go now ye that are men, 
and serve the Lord; for that ye 
did desire. And they were driven 
out from Pharaoh's presence. 

12 1f And tne Lord said unto 
Moses, * Stretch out thine hand 
over the land of Egypt for the lo- 
custs, that they may come up upon 
the land of Egypt, and l eat every 
herb of the land, even all that the 
hail hath left. 

13 And Moses stretched forth his 
rod over the land of Egypt, and 
the Lord brought an east wind 
upon the land all that day, and 
all that night; and when it was 
morning, the east wind brought 
the locusts. 

14 And m the locusts went up 



The plague, of darJcness. 



EXODUS, XL 



GocT s message to Hie Israelites, 



over all the land of Egypt, and 
rested in all the coasts of Egypt: 
very grievous were they; n before 
them there were no such locusts as 
they, neither after them shall be 
such. 

15 For they ° covered the face of 
the -whole earth, so that the land 
was darkened; and they p did eat 
every herb of the land, and all the 
fruit of the trees which the hail 
had left: and there remained not 
any green thing in the trees, or in 
the herbs of the field, through all 
the land of Egypt. 

16 f Then Pbaraoh 3 called for 
Moses and Aaron in haste; and he 
said, q I have sinned against the 
Lord your God, and against you. 

17 Now therefore forgive, I pray 
thee, my sin only this once, r and 
eDtreat the Lord your God, that 
he may take away from me this 
death only. 

18 And he s went out from Pha- 
raoh, and entreated the Lord. 

19 And the Lord turned a mighty 
strong west wind, which took 
away the locusts, and i cast them 
into ' the Red sea; there remained 
not one locust in all the coasts of 
Egypt, 

20 But the Lord u hardened 
Pharaoh's heart, so that he would 
not let the children of Israel go. 

21 U And the Lord said unto 
Moses, " Stretch out thine hand 
toward heaven, that there may be 
darkness over the land of Egypt, 
5 even darkness ivhich may be felt. 

22 And Moses stretched forth his 
hand toward heaven; and there 
was a w thick darkness in all the 
land of Egypt three days: 

23 They saw not one another, 
neither rose any from his place for 
three days: x but all the children 
of Israel had light in their dwell- 
ings. 

24 <H And Pharaoh called unto 
Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the 
Lord; only let your flocks and 
your herds be stayed: let your little 
ones y also go with you. 

25 And Moses said, Thou must 
give 6 us also sacrifices and burnt 
offerings, that we may sacrifice un- 
to the Lord our God. 

26 Our cattle also shall go with 
us; there shall not an hoof be left 
behind : for thereof must we take 
to serve the Lord our God; and 
we know not with what we must 
serve the Lord until we come 
thither.

CHAPTER XL 

1 God's message to the Israelites to borrow 
jewels of their neighbours. 4 The death 
of the first-born of Egypt threatened, eta. 

AND the Lord said unto Moses, 
Tet will I bring one plague 
more upon Pharaoh, and upon 
Egypt; afterwards he will let you 
go hence: a when he shall let you 
go, he shall surely thrust you out 
hence altogether. 

2 Speak now in the ears of the 
people, and let every man * bor- 
row of his neighbour, and every 
woman of her neighbour, 6 jewels 
of silver, and jewels of gold. 

3 And c the Lord gave the people 
favour in the sight of the Egyp- 
tians. Moreover the man d Moses 
was very great in the land of 
Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's 
servants, and in the sight of the 
people. 

4 f And Moses said, Thus saith 
the Loed, e About midnight will 
I go out into the midst of Egypt: 

5 And y all the first-born in the 
land of Egypt shall die, from the 
first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth 
upon his throne, even unto the 
first-born of the maid-servant that 
is behind the mill; and all the 
first-born of beasts. 

6 And 9 there shall be a great cry 
throughout all the land of Egypt, 
such as there was none like it, nor 
shall be like it any more. 

7 But against any of the children 
of Israel shall A not a dog move his 
tongue, against man or beast; 
that ye may know how that the 
Lord doth put * a difference be- 
tween the Egyptians and IsraeL 

8 And all these thy servants shall 
come down unto me, and bow 
down themselves unto me, saying, 
Get thee out, and all the people 
2 that follow thee: and after that I 
will go out. And he went out 
from Pharaoh in 3 a great anger. 

9 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Pharaoh shall not hearken unto 
you; that my wonders may be 
multiplied in the land of Egypt.

2 This a month shall be unto you 
the beginning of months: it shall 
be the first month of the year to 
you. 

3 ^ Speak ye unto all the con- 
gregation of Israel, saying, In the 
tenth day of this month they shall 
take to them every man a x lamb, 
according to the house of their fa- 
thers, a lamb for an house. 

4 And if the household be too 
little for the lamb, let him and his 
neighbour next unto his house 
take it according to the number of 
the souls: every man according to 
his eating shall make your count 
for the lamb. 

5 Your lamb shall be h without 
blemish, a male 2 of the first year: 
ye shall take it out from the sheep, 
or from the goats: 

6 And ye shall keep it up until 
the ° fourteenth day of the same 
month: and the whole assembly of 
the congregation of Israel shall 
kill it 3 in the evening. 

7 And they shall take of the 
blood, and strike it on the two side 
posts and on the upper door post 
of the houses, wherein they shall 
eat it 

8 And they shall eat the flesh in 
that night, roast with fire, d and 
unleavened bread; and with bitter 
herbs they shall eat it. 

9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden 
at all with water, but roast with 
fire; his head with his legs, and 
with the purtenance thereof. 

10 And 6 ye shall let nothing of 
it remain until the morning; and 
that which remaineth of it until 
the morning ye shall burn with 
fire. 

11 And thus shall ye eat it; with 
your loins girded, your shoes on

hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: 
it fis the Lord's passover.

you for a token upon the houses 
where ye are: and when I see the 
blood, I will pass over you, and the 
plague shall not be upon you 5 to 
destroy you, when I smite the land 
of Egypt. 

14 And this day shall be unto you 
for a memorial; and ye shall keep 
it a 3 feast to the Lord throughout 
your generations; ye shall keep it 
a feast by an ordinance for ever. 

15 \ Seven *days shall ye eat 
unleavened bread; even the first 
day ye shall put away leaven out 
of your houses: for whosoever 
eateth leavened bread from the 
first day until the seventh day, 
that l soul shall be cut off from 
Israel 

16 And in the first day there shall 
be an holy convocation, and in the 
seventh day there shall be an holy 
convocation to you; no manner 
of work shall be done in them, 
save that which every 6 man must 
eat, that only may be done of 
you. 

17 And ye shall observe the feast 
of unleavened bread; for w in this 
self-same day have I brought your 
armies out of the land of Egypt: 
therefore shall ye observe this day 
in your generations by an ordi- 
nance for ever. 

18 In "the first month, on the 
fourteenth day of the month at 
even, ye shall eat unleavened 
bread, until the one and twentieth 
day of the month at even. 

19 Seven ° days shall there be no 
leaven found in your houses: for 
whosoever eateth that which is 
leavened, p even that soul shall be 
cut off from the congregation of 
Israel, whether he be a stranger, or 
born in the land. 

20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened;

unleavened bread.

23 For the Lord will pass through

he seeth the blood upon the lintel,

Lord will pass over the door, and 
will r not suffer * the destroyer to 
come in unto your houses to smite

24 And ye shall observe this thing

25 And it shall come to pass, 
when ye be come to the land which 
the Lord will give you, according 
as he hath promised, that ye shall 
keep this service. 

26 And 'it shall come to pass, 
when your children shall say unto 
you, What mean ye by this 
service? 

27 That ye shall say, It is the 
sacrifice of the Lord's passover, 
who passed over the houses of the 
children of Israel in Egypt, when 
he smote the Egyptians, and 
delivered our houses. And the 
people bowed the head and wor- 
shipped. 

28 And the children of Israel 
went away, and did as the Lord 
had commanded Moses and Aaron, 
so did they. 

29 ^ And it came to pass, that at 
midnight the u Lord smote all the 
first-born in the land of Egypt, 
from the first-born of Pharaoh that 
sat on his throne unto the first- 
born of the captive that was in the 
8 dungeon; and all the first-born of 
cattle. 

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the 
night, he, and all his servants, and 
all the Egyptians; and there was a 
great v cry in Egypt; for there was 
not a house where there was not one 
dead. 

31 ^[ And he called for Moses and 
Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, 
and get you forth from among my 
people, w both ye and the children 
of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, 
as ye have said 

32 Also take your flocks and your 
herds, as ye have said, and be

35 And the children of Israel did 
according to the word of Moses; 
and they 10 borrowed of the Egyp- 
tians "jewels of silver, and jewels 
of gold, and raiment. 

36 And the Lord gave the people 
favour in the sight of the Egyp- 
tians, so that they lent unto them 
such things as they required; 6 and 
they spoiled the Egyptians. 

37 % And c the children of Israel 
journeyed from d Eameses to Suc- 
coth, about e six hundred thousand 
on foot that were men, besides 
children. 

38 And n a mixed multitude 
went up also with them; and flocks 
and herds, even veiy much cattle. 

39 And they baked unleavened 
cakes of the dough which they 
brought forth out of Egypt, for it 
was not leavened; because they 
were /thrust out of Egypt, and 
could not tarry, neither had they 
prepared for themselves any 
victual. 

40 If Now the sojourning of the 
children of Israel, who dwelt in 
Egypt, was ff four hundred and 
thirty years. 

41 And it came to pass at the 
end of the four hundred and thirty 
years, even the self-same day it 
came to pass, that all h the hosts of 
the Lord went out from the land 
of Egypt. 

42 It is n a night to be much ob- 
served unto the Lord for bringing 
them out from the land of Egypt: 
this is that night of the Lord to 
be observed of all the children of 
Israel in their generations. 

43 % And the Lord said unto 
Moses and Aaron, This is Hhe or- 
dinance of the passover: There 
shall no stranger eat thereof: 

44 But every man's servant that 
is bought for money, when thou 
hast 3 circumcised him, then shall 
he eat thereof 

45 A k foreigner and an hired ser- 
vant shall not eat thereof. 

46 In one house shall it be eaten: 
thou shalt not carry forth ought of 
the flesh abroad out of the house; 
neither 'shall ye break a bone 
thereof.

person shall eat thereof. 

49 One m law shall be to him that 
is homeborn, and unto the stranger 
that sojourneth among you. 

50 Thus did all the children of 
Israel; as the Lord commanded 
Moses and Aaron, so did they.

through the midst ofHhe sea. 

17 And I, behold, I will ° harden 
the hearts of the Egyptians, and 
they shall follow them: and I will 
get me honour upon Pharaoh, and 
upon all his host, upon his chariots, 
and upon his horsemen. 

18 And the Egyptians shall know 
that I am the Lord, when I have 
gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, 
upon his chariots, and upon his 
horsemen. 

19 If And nhe angel of God, which 
went before the camp of Israel, 
removed and went behind them; 
and the pillar of the cloud went 
from before their face, and stood 
behind them: 

20 And it came between the camp 
of the Egyptians and the camp of 
Israel ; and q it was a cloud and 
darkness to them, but it gave fight 
by night to these: so that the one 
came not near the other all the 
night. 

21 And Moses stretched out his 
hand over the sea; and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong 
east wind all that night, and made 
the sea dry land, and the waters 
were r divided. 

22 And s the children of Israel

went into the midst of the sea 
upon the dry ground: and the waters 
were * a wall unto them on their 
right hand, and on their left. 

23 If And the Egyptians pursued, 
and went in after them to the 
midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's 
horses, his chariots, and his horse- 
men. 

24 And it came to pass, that in 
the morning watch the Lord looked 
unto the host of the Egyptians 
through the pillar of fire and of the 
cloud, and troubled the host of the 
Egyptians, 

25 And took off their chariot 
wheels, 2 that they drave them 
heavily : so that the Egyptians 
said, Let us flee from the face of 
Israel; for the Lord fighteth for 
them against the Egyptians. 

26 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Stretch out thine hand over the 
sea, that the waters may come 
again upon the Egyptians, upon 
their chariots, and upon their 
horsemen. 

27 And Moses stretched forth his 
hand over the sea, and the sea 
returned M to his strength when 
the morning appeared; and the 
Egyptians fled against it; and the 
Lord 3 overthrew the Egyptians 
in the midst of the sea. 

28 And " the waters returned, 
and covered the chariots, and the 
horsemen, and all the host of Pha- 
raoh that came into the sea after 
them; there remained not so much 
as one of them. 

29 But w the children of Israel 
walked upon dryZa^ in the midst 
of the sea; and the waters were a 
wall unto them on their right 
hand, and on their left. 

30 Thus the Lord x saved Israel 
that day out of the hand of the 
Egyptians : and Israel saw y the 
Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore. 

3 1 And Israel saw that great i work 
which the Lord did upon the Egyp- 
tians: and the people feared the 
Lord, and * believed the Lord, and 
his servant Moses.

THEN sang a Moses and the

unto the Lord, and spake, saying,

horse and his rider hath he thrown

God, and I c will exalt him. 

3 The Lord is a man of d war: the 
Lord is e his name. 

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host 
hath he castinto the sea: his chosen 
captains also are drowned in the 
Red sea. 

5 The depths have covered them: 
they sank into the bottom as a 
stone. 

6 Thy bright hand, O Lord, is 
become glorious in power: thy 
right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in 
pieces the enemy. 

7 And in the greatness of thine 
excellency thou hast overthrown 
them that rose up against thee: 
thou sentest forth thy wrath, which 
consumed 9 them h as stubble. 

8 And *with the blast of thy 
nostrils the waters were gathered 
together, i the floods stood upright 
as an heap, and the depths were 
congealed in the heart of the sea. 

9 The enemy said, I will pursue, 
I will overtake, I will * divide the 
spoil; my lust shall be satisfied

10 Thou didst blow with thy 
wind, the sea covered them: they 
sank as lead in the mighty waters. 

11 Who Hs like unto thee, O Lord, 
among the 2 gods? who t'slike thee, 
glorious in holiness, fearful in 
praises, doing wonders? 

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right 
hand, the earth swallowed them. 

13 Thou in thy mercy hast led 
forth the people which thou hast 
redeemed: thou hast guided them

habitation. 

14 The "people shall hear, andhe

and ever. 

19 For the horse of Pharaoh -went 
in vrith his chariots and with his 
horsemen into the sea, and the 
Lord brought again the waters of 
the sea upon them; but the chil- 
dren of Israel went on dry land in 
the midst of the sea. 

20 r And Miriam the prophetess, 
the sister of Aaron, * took a timbrel 
in her hand; and all the women 
went out after her with timbrels 
and with dances. 

21 And Miriani answered them. 
Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath 
triumphed gloriously; the horse 
and his rider hath he thrown into 
the sea. 

22 r So Moses brought Israel from 
the Eed sea; and they went out 
into the wilderness of Shur; and 
they went three days in the wil- 
derness, and found no water. 

23 r And when they came v to 
Marah, they could not drink of the 
waters of Marah, for they wen 

| bitter: therefore the name of it was 
called 3 Marah. 

2-4 And the people murmured 
against Moses, saying, "What shall 
pre drink ? 

25 And he w cried unto the Lord; 
and the Lord showed him a tree, 
which * when he had cast into the 
waters, the waters were made

gation of the children of Israel 
came unto the wilderness of a Sin, 
which is between Elim and Sinai, 
on the fifteenth day of the second 
month after their departing cut of 
the land of Egypt. 

2 And the whole congregation of 
the children of Israel b murmured 
against Moses and Aaron in the 
wilderness: 

3 And the children of Israel said 
unto them, Would to God we had 
died by the hand of the Lord in 
the land of Egypt, when c we sat 
by the flesh pots, and when we did 
eat bread to the full! for ye have 
brought us forth into this' wilder- 
ness, to kill this whole assembly 
with hunger. 

4 r Then said the Lord unto 
Moses, Behold, I will rain d bread 
from heaven for you; and the peo- 
ple shall go out and gather 1 a cer- 
tain rate every day, that I e may 
prove them, whVther they will walk 
in my law, or no. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that 
on the sixth day they shall prepare 
that which they bring in; and / it 
shall be twice as much as they 
gather daily. 

6 And Moses and Aaron said unto 
all the children of Israel, 3 At even, 
then ye shall know that the Lord 
hath brought you out from the 
land of Egypt: 

7 And in the morning, then ye 
shall see the h glory of the Lord; 
for that he heareth your murmur- 
ings against the Lord: and what 
are we, that ye murmur asainst 
us? 

8 And Moses said, This shall he, 
when the Lord shall give you in 
the evening flesh to eat. and in the 
morning bread to the full; for that 
the Lord heareth your murmur- 
ings which ye murmur against him : 
and what are we ? yourmurmurings 
are not against us^ but * against the 
Lord. 

9 And Moses spake unto Aaron. 
Say unto all the congregation of 
the children of Israel, Come near 
before the Lord: for he hath heard 
your murmurings. 

"l0 % And it^came to pass, as 
Aaron spake unto the whole con- 
gregation of the children of Israel, 
i that they looked toward the wil- 
derness, and, behold, the glory of 
the Lord appeared * in the cloud. 

11 And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

12 1* have heard the murmurings 



Quails and manna are sent.

of the children of Israel: speak 
unto them, saying, *At even ye 
shall eat flesh, and m in the morn- 
ing ye shall he filled with hread; 
and n ye shall know that I am the 
Lord your God. 

13 And it came to pass, that at 
even °the quails came up, and 
covered the camp; and in the morn- 
ing p the dew lay round ahout the 
host. 

• 34 And when the dew that lay 
was gone up, behold, upon the face 
of the wilderness there lay 2 a small 
round thing, as small as the hoar 
frost on the ground. 

15 And when the children of 
Israel saw it, they said one to 
another, 2 It ts manna: for they 
wist not what it was. And Moses 
said unto them, r This is the hread 
which the Lord hath given you to 
eat. 

16 This is the thing which the 
Lord hath commanded, Gather of 
it every man according to his eat- 
ing, s an omer 3 for every man, 
according to the number of your 
i persons; take ye every man for 
them which are in his tents. 

17 And the children of Israel did 
so, and gathered, some more, some 
less. 

18 And when they did mete it 
with an omer, * he that gathered 
much had nothing over, and he 
that gathered little had no lack: 
they gathered every man accord- 
ing to his eating. 

19 And Moses said, Let no man 
leave of it till the morning. 

20 Notwithstanding they heark- 
ened not unto Moses; but some of 
them left of it until the morning, 
and it bred worms, and stank: and 
Moses was wroth with them. 

21 And they gathered it every 
morning, every man according to 
his eating: and when the sun 
waxed hot, it melted. 

22 1J And it came to pass, that on 
the sixth day they gathered twice 
as much bread, two omers for one 
man: and all the rulers of the con- 
gregation came and told Moses. 

23 And he said unto them, This 
is that which the Lord hath said, 
To-morrow is M the rest of the holy 
sabbath unto the Lord: bake ilmt 
which ye will bake to-day, and 
seethe that ye will seethe; and that 
which remaineth over lay up for 
you to be kept until the morning. 

24 And they laid it up till the 
morning, as Moses bade: and it did

not " stink, neither was there any 
worm therein. 

25 And Moses said, Eat that to- 
day; for to-day w is a sabbath unto 
the Lord: to-day ye shall not find 
it in the field. 

26 Six * days ye shall gather it; 
but on the seventh day, which is 
the sabbath, in it there shall be 
none. 

27 <[[ And it came to pass, that 
there went out some of the people 
on the seventh day for to gather, 
and they found none. 

28 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
How long v refuse ye to keep my 
commandments and my laws? 

29 See, for that the Lord hath 
given you the sabbath, therefore 
he giveth you on the sixth day the 
bread of two days: abide ye every 
man in his place; let no man go 
out of his place on the seventh 
day. 

30 So the people rested on the 
seventh day. 

31 And the house of Israel called 
the name thereof Manna: and z it 
was like coriander seed, white; and 
the taste of it was like wafers made 
with honey. 

32 % And Moses said, This is the 
thing which the Lord command- 
eth, Fill an omer of it to be kept 
for your generations; that they 
may see the bread wherewith I 
have fed you in the wilderness, 
when I brought you forth from the 
land of Egypt. 

33 And Moses said unto Aaron, 
Take a a pot, and put an omer full 
of manna therein, and lay it up 
"before the Lord, to be kept for 
your generations. 

34 As the Lord commanded 
Moses, so Aaron laid it up h before 
the Testimony, to be kept. 

35 And the children of Israel did 
eat manna c forty years, <* until they 
came to a land inhabited; they did 
eat manna until they came unto 
the borders of the land of Canaan. 

36 Now an omer is the tenth part

2 YvTierefore b the people did 
chide with Moses, and said, Give 
us water that we may drink. And 
Moses said unto them, Why chide 
ye with me? wherefore do ye 
tempt c the Lord? 

3 And the people thirsted there 
for water; and the people d mur- 
mured against Moses, and said, 
Wherefore is this that thou hast 
brought us up out of Egypt, to kill 
us and our children and our cattle 
with thirst? 

4 And Moses cried unto the Lord, 
saying, What shall I do unto this 
people ? they be almost ready to 
stone e me. 

5 And the Lord said unto Moses. 
Go^on before the people, and take 
with thee of the elders of Israel; 
and thy rod, wherewith thou 
smotest " 9 the river, take in thine 
hand, and go. 

6 Behold, A I will stand before 
thee there upon the rock in Horeb; 
and thou shalt smite the rock, and 
there shall come water out of it, 
that the people may drink. And 
Moses did so in the sight of the 
elders of Israel. 

7 And he called the name of the 
place 1 Massah, and 2 Meribah, be- 
cause of the chiding of the chil- 
dren of Israel, and because they i

14 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Write l this for a memorial in a 
book, and rehearse it in the ears of 
Joshua: for m I will utterly put out 
the remembrance of Amalek from 
under heaven. 

15 And Moses built an altar, and 
called the name of it 3 JEHO YAH- 
nissi: 

16 For he said, * Because 5 the 
Lord hath sworn that the Lord 
will have war with Amalek from 
generation to generation. 

CHAPTER XVLTL 

1 Jeti.ro br'mgel o Moses fas wife and two 
sons: 7 Moses e.itcrtaineih hira. lo Jethro 
giceih Moses counsel; it is accepted. 27 
Jethro depar+cth. 

HEN Jethro, the priest of 
Midian, Moses' father-in-law, 
heard of all that God had done for 
Moses, and for Israel his people, 
and that the Lord had brought 
Israel out of Egypt ; 

2 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in 
law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, 
after he had sent her back, 

3 And her two sons; of which the 
name of the one was x Gershom; 
for he said, I have been an alien in 
a strange land : 

4 And the name of the other was 
- Eliezer; for the God of my father, 
said he, teas mine help, and de- 
livered me from the sword of 
Pharaoh. 

5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in- 
law, came with his sons and his 
wife unto Moses into the wilder- 
ness, where he encamped at the 
mount of God: 

6 And he said unto Moses, I thy 
father-in-law Jethro am come 
unto thee, and thy wife, and her 
two sons with her. 

7 And Moses went out to meet 
his father-in-law, and did obei- 
sance, and kissed him; and they 
asked each other of their 3 welfare; 
and they came into the tent. 

8 And Moses told his father-in- 
law all that the Lord had done 
unto Pharaoh and to the Egyp- 
tians for Israel's sake, and all the 
travail that had 4 come upon them 
by the way, and how the Lord 
delivered them. 

9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the 
goodness which the Lord had 
done to Israel, whom he had de- 
livered out of the hand of the 
Egyptians. 

10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the 



Jethro counsels Moses

to appoint judges. 



Lord, who hath delivered you out 
of the hand of the Egyptians, and 
out of the hand of Pharaoh, who 
hath delivered the people from 
under the hand of the Egyptians 

11 Now I know that the Lord is 
greater a than all gods: 6 for in the 
thing wherein they dealt c proudly 
he was above them. 

12 And Jethro, Moses' father-in- 
law, took a burnt offering and sac- 
rifices for God: and Aaron came, 
and all the elders of Israel, to eat 
bread with Moses' father-in-law 
before d God. 

13 H And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that Moses sat to judge 
the people: and the people stood 

I by Moses from the morning unto 

the evening. 

! 14 And when Moses' father-in- 

! law saw all that he did to the peo- 

! pie, he said, What is this thing 

that thou doest to the people? why 

sittest thou thyself alone, and all 

the people stand by thee from 

morning unto even? 

15 And Moses said unto his fa- 
ther-in-law, Because the people 
come unto me to enquire of God: 

16 When they have 6 a matter, 
they come unto me; and I judge 
between 5 one and another, and I 
do / make them know the statutes 
of God, and his laws. 

17 And Moses' father-in-law said 
unto him, The thing that thou 
doest is not good. 

18 6 Thou wilt surely wear away, 
both thou and this people that is 
with thee : for this thing is too 
heavy for thee; g thou art not able 
to perform it thyself alone. 

19 Hearken now unto my voice, 
I will give thee counsel, and God 
shall be with thee: Be thou h for 
the people to God-ward, that thou 
mayest * bring the causes unto 
God: 

20 _ And thou shalt { teach them 
ordinances and laws, and shalt 
show them * the way wherein they 
must walk, and z the work that 
they must do. 

21 Moreover thou shalt provide 
out of all the people w able men, 
such as n fear God, ° men of truth, 
hating covetousness; and place 
such over them, to be rulers of 
thousands, and rulers of hundreds, 
rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: 

22 And let them judge the people 
at all seasons: ^and it shall be, 
that every great matter they shall 
bring unto thee, but every small

place in peace. 

24 So Moses hearkened to the 
voice of his father-in-law, and did 
all tbat he had said. 

25 And 2 Moses chose able men 
out of all Israel, and made them 
heads over the people, rulers of 
thousands, rulers of hundreds, 
rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 

26 And they judged the people at 
all seasons: the r hard causes they 
brought unto Moses, but every 
small matter they judged them- 
selves. 

27 % And Moses let his father-in- 
law depart; and * he went his way 
into his own land. 

CHAPTER XLX. 

1 The people come to Sinai. 3 God's mes- 
sage to them. 8 Their answer. 10 They 
are prepared against the third day; 12 
the mountain must not be touched. 16 
Tlie fearful presence of God upon the 
mount. 

IN the third month, when the 
children of Israel were gone 
forth out of the land of Egypt, the 
same day came they into the wil- 
derness of Sinai. 

2 For they were departed from 
Rephidim, and were come to the 
desert of Sinai, and had pitched in 
the wilderness: and there Israel 
camped before the mount. 

3 And "Moses went up unto 
God, and the Lord called unto 
him out of the mountain, saying, 
Thus shalt thou say to the house 
of Jacob, and tell the children of 
Israel; 

4 Ye have seen what I did unto 
the Egyptians, and how l I bare 
you on eagles' wings, and brought 
you unto myself. 

5 Now therefore, if ye will obey 
my voice indeed, and keep my 
covenant, then c ye shall be a pe- 
culiar treasure unto me above 
all people: for d all the earth is 
mine. 

6 And ye shall be unto me 'a 
kingdom of priests, and an /holy 
nation. These are the words which 
thou shalt speak unto the children 
of Israel. 

7 % And Moses came and called 
for the elders of the people, and 
laid before their faces all these

words which the Lokd commanded 
him. 

8 And 9 all the people answered 
together, and said, All that the 
Lord hath spoken we will do. And 
Moses returned the words of the 
people unto the Lora>. 

9 And the Lord said unto Moses. 
Lo, I come unto thee Mn a thick 
cloud, * that the people may hear 
when I speak with thee, and be- 
lieve thee for ever. And Moses 
told the words of the people unto 
the Lord. 

10 *f And the Lord said unto 
Moses, Go unto the people, •? and 
sanctify them to-day and to- 
morrow, and let them * wash their 
clothes, 

11 And be ready against the third 
day: for the third day the 'Lord 
will come down in the sight of all 
the people upon mount Sinai. 

12 And thou shalt set bounds 
unto the people round about, say- 
ing, Take heed to yourselves that ye 
go not up into the mount, or touch 
the border of it: m whosoever 
toucheth the mount shall be surely 
put to death: 

_ 13 There shall not an hand touch 
it, but he shall surely be stoned, 
or shot through; whether it be beast 
or man, it shall not live: when the 
1 trumpet soimdeth long, they shall 
come up to the mount. 

14 % And Moses went down from 
the mount unto the people, and 
sanctified the people; and they 
washed their clothes, 

15 And he said unto the people. 
Be ready against the third day: 
come n not at your wives. 

16 •[ And it came to pass on the 
third day, in the morning, that 
there were thunders and" light- 
nings, and a thick cloud tiponthe 
mount, and the voice of the trum- 
pet exceeding loud; so that all the 
people that was in the camp 
trembled. 

17 And ° Moses brought forth the 
people out of the camp to meet 
with God; and they stood at the 
nether part of the mount 

18 And p mount Sinai was alto- 
gether on a smoke, because the 
Lord descended upon it 8 in fire: 
and the r smoke thereof ascended 
as the smoke of a furnace, and the 
whole * mount quaked greatly. 

19 And when the voice of the 
trumpet sounded long, and waxed 
louder and louder, Moses spake,and 
God ' answered him by a voice.

20 And the Lord came down 
upon mount Sinai, on the top of 
the mount: and the Lord called 
Moses up to the top of the mount; 
and Moses went up. 

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Go down, 2 charge the people, lest 
they break through unto the Lord 
to M gaze, and many of them 
perish. 

22 And let the priests also, which 
come near to the Lord, ° sanctify 
themselves, lest the Lord " break 
forth upon them. 

23 And Moses said unto the Lord, 
The people cannot come up to 
mount Sinai: for thou chatgerlst 
us, saying, Set bounds about the 
mount, and sanctify it. 

24 And the Lord said unto him, 
Away, get thee down, and thou 
shalt come up, thou, and Aaron 
with thee: but let not the priests 
and the people break through to 
come up unto the Lord, lest he 
break forth upon them. 

25 So Moses went down unto the 
people, and spake unto them. 

CHAPTER XX 

1 T?te ten commandments. 22 Idolatry 
forbidden, 24 IHrections concerning the 
altar. 

AND God spake all these words, 
a saying, 

2 I b am the Lord thy God, which 
have brought thee out of the land 
of Egypt, c out of the house of 
1 bondage. 

3 Thou d shalt have no other 
gods before me. 

4 Thou e shalt not make unto 
thee any graven image, or any 
likeness of any thing that is in hea- 
ven above, or that is in the earth 
beneath, or that is in the water 
under the earth: 

5 Thou /shalt not bow down thy- 
self to them, nor serve them : for 1 
the Lord thy God am 9 a jealous 
God, h visiting the iniquity of the 
fathers upon the children unto the 
third and fourth generation of them 
that hate me; 

6 And * showing mercy unto 
thousands of them that love me, 
and keep my commandments. 

7 Thou i shalt not take the name 
of the Lord thy God in vain : for 
the Lord k will not hold him guilt- 
less that taketh his name in vain. 

8 Remember l the sabbath day, to 
keep it holy. 

9 Six m days shalt thou labour and 
do all thy work:

thou shalt not do any work, thou, 
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy 
man-servant, nor thy maid-ser- 
vant, nor thy cattle, ° nor thy 
stranger that is within thy gates: 

11 For in six days the Lord made 
heaven and earth, the sea, and all 
that in them is, and rested the 
seventh day : wherefore the Lord 
blessed the sabbath day, and hal- 
lowed it. 

12 I Honour p thy father and thy 
mother: that thy days maybe long 
upon the land which the Lord thy 
God giveth thee. 

13 Thou q shalt not kill. 

14 Thou r shalt not commit adul- 
tery. 

15 Thou s shalt not steaL 

16 Thou shalt not bear false wit- 
ness against thy neighbour. 

17 Thou ' shalt not covet thy 
neighbour's house, thou u shalt not 
covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his 
man-servant, nor his maid- servant, 
nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any 
thing that is thy neighbour's. 

18 ^[ And " all the people saw the 
thunderings, and the 'lightnings, 
and the noise of the trumpet, and 
the mountain smoking : and when 
the people saw it, they removed, 
and stood afar off. 

19 And they said unto Moses, 
Speak w thou with us, and we will 
hear: but let not God speak with 
us, lest we die. 

20 And Moses said unto the peo- 
ple, Fear not: x for God is come to 
prove you, and y that his fear may 
be before your faces, that ye sin not. 

21 And the people stood afar off : 
and Moses drew near unto the 
thick darkness where God was. 

22 % And the Lord said unto 
Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto 
the children of Israel, Ye have 
seen that I have talked with you 
from heaven. 

23 Ye shall not make with me 
gods of silver, neither shall ye 
make unto you gods of gold. 

24 An altar of earth thou sbalt 
make unto me, and shalt sacrifice 
thereon thy burnt offerings, and 
thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and 
thine oxen. In all * places where 
I record my name I will come 
unto thee, and I will ° bless thee. 

25 And 6 if thou wilt make me an 
altar of stone, thou shalt not 2 build 
it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up 
thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted 
it.

NOW these are the judgments 
which thou shalt a set before 
them. 

2 If b thou buy an Hebrew ser- 
vant, six years he shall serve ; and 
in the seventh he shall go out free 
for nothing. 

3 If he came in 1 by himself ? he 
shall go out by himself: if he were 
married, then his wife shall go out 
with bim. 

4 If his master have given him c a 
wife, and she have born him sons 
or daughters; the wife and her 
children shall be her master's, and 
he shall go out by himself. 

5 And d if the servant 2 shall 
plainly say, I love my master, my 
wife, and my children ; I will not 
go out free: 

6 Then his master shall bring 
him unto the e judges ; he shah 
also bring him to the door, or unto 
the door post; and his master shall 
bore / his ear through with an 
awl; and he shall serve him for 
ever. 

7 % And if a man 9 sell his daugh- 
ter to be a maid-servant, she shall 
not go out as the men-servants 
do. 

8 If she 3 please not her master, 
who hath betrothed her to him- 
self, then shall he let her be re- 
deemed: to sell her unto a strange 
nation he shall have no power, 
seeing he hath dealt deceitfully 
with her. 

9 And if he hath betrothed her 
unto his son, he shall deal with 
her after the manner of daughters. 

10 If he take him another wife; 
her food, her raiment, h and her 
duty of marriage, shall he not 
diminish. 

11 And if he do not these three 
unto her, then shall she go out 
free without money. 

12 % He * that smiteth a man so 
that he die, shall be surely put to 
death. 

13 And 5" if a man he not in wait, 
but God k deliver him into his 
hand ; then 1 1 will appoint thee a 
place whither he shall flee. 

14 But if a man come ™ presump-

tuously upon his neighbour, to 
slay him with guile ; thou n shalt 
take him from mine altar, that he 
may die. 

15 And he that smiteth his father 
or his mother shall be surely put to 
death. 

16 if And ° he that stealeth a man, 
and selleth p him, or if he be q found 
in his hand, he shall surely be put 
to death. 

17 if And r he that 4 curseth his 
father or bis mother shall surely be 
put to death. 

18 if And if men strive together, 
and one smite 5 another with a 
stone, or with his fist, and he die 
not, but keepeth Ms bed; 

19 If he rise again, and walk 
abroad s upon his staff, then sball 
he that smote him be quit: only he 
shall pay for c the loss of his time, 
and shall cause him to be thorough- 
ly healed. 

20 if And if a man smite Ms ser- 
vant, or bis maid, with a rod, and 
he die under bis hand; he shall be 
surely 7 punished. 

21 Notwithstanding, if he con- 
tinue a day or two, he shall not be 
punished: for J he is his money. 

22 if If men strive, and hurt a 
woman with child, so tbat her 
fruit depart from her, and yet no 
mischief follow: he shall be surely 
punished, according as the wo- 
man's husband will lay upon him; 
and he sball u pay as the judges 
determine. 

23 And if any mischief follow, 
then thou shalt give life for 
life, 

24 Eye "for eye, tooth for tooth, 
hand for hand, foot for foot, 

25 Burning for burning, wound 
for wound, stripe for stripe. 

2Q f And w if a man smite the 
eye of his servant, or the eye of his 
maid, tbat it perish; he shall let 
him go free for his eye's sake. 

27 And if he smite out his man- 
servant's tooth, or his maid-ser- 
vant's tooth; he shall let him go 
free for his tooth's sake. 

28 if If an ox gore a man or a 
woman, that they die: then x the 
ox shall be surely stoned, and his 
flesh shall not be eaten ; but the 
owner of the ox shall be quit. 

29 But if the ox were wont to 
push with his horn in time past, 
and it hath been testified to his 
owner, and he hath not kept him 
in, but that he hath lulled a man 
or a woman; the ox shall be stoned,

1 Moses is called up into the mountain. 3 
The people promise obedience. 4 He 
builds an altar. 9 The glory of God ap- 
pears. 14 Aaron and Hur leave charge 
of the people, etc. 

AND he said unto Moses, Come 
up unto the Lord, thou, and 
Aaron, a Nadab, and Abihu, & and 
seventy of the elders of Israel; and 
worship ye afar off. 

2 And Moses alone shall come 
near the Lord; but they shall not 
come nigh, neither shall the people 
go up with him. 

3 If And Moses came and told the 
people all the words of the Lord, 
and all the judgments: and all the 
people answered with one voice, 
and said, All the words which the 
Lord hath said will we do. 

4 And Moses c wrote all the words 
of the Lord, and rose up early in 
the morning, and build ed an altar 
under the hill, and twelve d pillars, 
according to the twelve tribes of 
Israel. 

5 And he sent young men of the 
children of Israel, which offered 
burnt offerings, and sacrificed 
peace offerings of oxen unto the 
Lord. 

6 And Moses e took half of the 
blood, and put it in basins; and 
half of the blood he sprinkled on 
the altar. 

7 And he took the book of the 
covenant, and read in the au- 
dience of the people: and they 
said, All that the Lord hath said 
will we do, and be obedient. 

8 And Moses took the blood, and 
sprinkled it on the people, and 
said, Behold / the blood of the 
covenant, which the Lord hath 
made with you concerning all 
these words. 

9 fl Then went up Moses, and 
Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and 
seventy of the elders of Israel ; 

10 And they 9 saw the God of 
Israel: and there was under his feet 
as it were a paved work of h a 
sapphire stone, and as it were the 
body * of heaven in his clearness. 

11 And upon the nobles of the 
children of Israel he ■>' laid not his

13 And Moses rose up, and n his 
minister Joshua: and Moses went 
up into the mount of God. 

14 And he said unto the elders, 
Tarry ye here for us, until we come 
again unto you : and, behold, 
Aaron and Hur are with you: if 
any man have any matters to do, 
let him come unto them.

mount. 

16 And p the glory of the Lord 
abode upon mount Sinai, and the 
cloud covered it sis days: and

Moses out of the midst of the 
cloud. 

17 And the sight of the glory of 
the Lord teas like q devouring fire 
on the top of the mount in the 
eyes of the children of Israel. 

18 And Moses went into the

put n their hands upon the head of 
the ram. 

16 And thou shalt slay the ram, 
and thou shalt take his blood, and

altar. 

17 And thou shalt cut the ram in 
pieces, and wash the inwards of 
him, and his legs, and put them 
unto his pieces, and 4 unto his 
head. 

18 And thou shalt burn the whole 
ram upon the altar: it is a burnt 
offering unto the Lord: it is "a 
sweet savour, an offering made by 
fire unto the Lord. 

19 And p thou shalt take the other 
ram; and Aaron and his sons shall 
put their hands upon the head of 
the ram. 

20 Then shalt thou kill the ram. 
and take of his blood, and put it 
upon the tip of the right ear of 
Aaron, and upon the tip of the 
right ear of his sons, and upon the 
thumb of their right hand, and 
upon the great toe of their right 
foot, and sprinkle the blood upon 
the altar round about. 

21 And thou shalt take of the

31 And thou shalt speak unto the 
children of Israel, saying, This shall 
be an holy anointing oil unto me 
throughout your generations. 

32 Upon man's flesh shall it not he 
poured; neither shall ye make any 
other like it, after the composition 
of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy 
unto you. 

33 Whosoever compoundeth any 
like it, or whosoever putteth any of 
it upon u a stranger, "shall even be 
cut off from his people. 

34 ^[ And the Lord said unto 
Moses, Take *"unto thee sweet 
spices, stacte, and onyoha, and gal- 
banum; these sweet spices with pure 
frankincense: of each shall there 
be a like weight. 

35 And thou shalt make it a per- 
fume, a confection after the art of 
the apothecary, 12 tempered to- 
gether, pure and holy. 

36 And thou shalt beat some of it 
very small, and put of it before the 
testimony in the tabernacle of the 
congregation, x where I will meet 
with thee: y it shall be unto you 
most holy. 

37 And as for the perfume which 
thou shalt make, ye shall not make

Moses, saying, 

13 Speak thou also unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, saying, y Verily my 
sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a 
sign between me and you through- 
out your generations; that ye may 
know that I am the Lord that doth 
sanctify you. 

14 Ye A shall keep the sabbath 
therefore; for it is holy unto you : 
every one that defileth it shall 
surely be put to death : for whoso- 
ever i doeth any work therein, that 
soul shall be cut off from among 
his people. 

15 Six days may work be done; 
but in the seventh i is the sabbath 
of rest, 2 holy to the Lord : whoso- 
ever doeth artwork in the sab- 
bath day, he shall surely be put to 
death. 

16 Wherefore the children of Is- 
rael shall keep the sabbath, to 
observe the sabbath throughout 
their generations, for a perpetual 
covenant. 

17 It is k a sign between me and 
the children of Israel for ever: 
for in l six days the Lord made 
heaven and earth, and on the 
seventh day he rested, and was 
refreshed. 

18 fl And he gave unto Moses, 
when he had made an end of 
communing with him upon mount 
Sinai, m two tables of testimony, 
tables of stone, written with the 
finger of God.

out of the mount, the people 
gathered themselves together unto 
Aaron, and said unto him, 6 Up, 
make us gods, which shall go before 
us; for as for this Moses, the man 
that brought us up out of the land 
of Egypt, we wot not what is be- 
come of him. 

2 And Aaron said unto them, 
Break off the c golden earrings 
which are in the ears of your wives, 
of your sons, and of your daugh- 
ters, and bring them unto me. 

3 And all the people brake off 
the golden earrings which were in 
their ears, and brought them unto 
Aaron. 

4 And d he received them at their 
hand, and fashioned it with a 
graving tool, after he had made it 
a molten calf: and they said, These 
be thy gods, Israel, which brought 
thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

5 And when Aaron saw it, he 
built an altar before it; and Aaron 
made "proclamation, and said, 
To-mOrrow is a feast to the Lord. 

6 And they rose up early on the 
morrow, and offered burnt offer- 
ings, and brought peace offerings; 
and the /people sat down to eat 
and to drink, and rose up to play. 

7 f And the Lord said unto 
Moses, 9 Go, get thee down; for thy 
people, which thou broughtest out 
of the land of Egypt, h have cor- 
rupted themselves: 

8 They have turned aside quickly 
out of the way which I * com- 
manded them: they have made 
them a molten calf, and have 
worshipped it, and have sacrificed 
thereunto, and said, J These be thy 
gods, Israel, which have brought 
thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

9 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
I k have seen this people, and, be- 
hold, it is a stiff-necked people: 

10 Now therefore *let me alone, 
that my wrath may wax hot 
against them, and that I may con- 
sume them, and m I will make of 
thee a great nation. 

11 And n Moses besought the 
x Lord his God, and said. Lord, 
why doth thy wrath wax hot 
against thy people, which thou 
hast brought forth out of the land 
of Egypt with great power, and 
with a mighty hand? 

12 Wherefore should the Egyp- 
tians speak, and say, For mischief 
did he bring them out, to slay 
them in the mountains, and to 
consume them from the face of the

earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, 
and repent of this evil against thy 
people. 

13 Eemember Abraham, Isaac, 
and Israel, thy servants, to whom 
thou ° swarest by thine own self, 
and saidst unto them, p I will 
multiply your seed as the stars of 
heaven, and all this land that I 
have spoken of will I give unto 
your seed, and they shall inherit 
it for ever. 

14 And the Lord q repented of 
the evil which he thought to do 
unto his people. 

15 ^ And r Moses turned, and 
went down from the mount, and 
the two tables of the testimony 
were in his hand: the tables wen 
written on both their sides; on the 
one side and on the other were they 
written. 

16 And -the s tables were the work 
of God, and the writing was the 
writing of God, graven upon the 
tables. 

17 And when Joshua heard the 
noise of the people as they shouted, 
he said unto Moses, There is a noise 
of war in the camp. 

18 And he said, It is not the voice 
of them that shout for mastery, nei- 
ther is it the voice of them that cry 
for 2 being overcome; but the noise 
of them that sing do I hear. 

19 •j] And it came to pass, as soon 
as he came nigh unto the camp, 
that he saw the calf, and the dan- 
cing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, 
and he cast the tables out of his 
hands, and brake them beneath 
the mount. 

20 And he took the calf which 
they had made, and burnt it in the 
fire, and ground it to powder, and 
strawed it upon the water, and 
made the children of Israel drink 
of it. 

21 And Moses said unto Aaron, 
What ' did this people imto thee, 
that thou hast brought so great 
a sin upon them? 

22 And Aaron said, Let not the 
anger of my lord wax hot: u thou 
knowest the people, that they are 
set on mischief. 

23 For they said unto me, Make 
us gods which shall go before us: 
for as for this Moses, the man that 
brought us up out of the land of 
Egypt, we wot not what is become 
of him. 

24 And 1 said unto them, Who- 
soever hath any gold, let them, 
break it off. So they gave it me: 



Moses intercedeth for the people. EXODUS, XXXLTI. 



The tabernacle removed. 



then I cast it into the fire, and 
there came out this calf. 

25 II And when Moses saw that 
the people were "naked, (for Aaron 
had w made them naked unto their 
shame among 3 their enemies.) 

26 Then Moses stood in the gate 
of the camp, and said, Who is on 
the Lord's side ? let him come unto 
me. And all the sons of Levi 
gathered themselves together unto 
him. 

27 And he said unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, Put 
every man his sword by his side, 
and go in and out from gate to 
gate throughout the camp, and 
x slay every man his brother, and 
every man his companion, and 
every man his neighbour. 

28 And the children of Levi did 
according to the word of Moses: 
and there fell of the people that 
day about three thousand men. 

29 For 4 Moses had said, 5 Conse- 
crate yourselves to-day to the 
Lord, even every man upon his 
son, and upon his brother; that he 
may bestow upon you a blessing 
this day. 

30 ^ And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that Moses said unto the 
people, y Ye have sinned a great 
sin: and now I will go up unto 
the Lord; z peradventure I shall 
make an atonement for your sin. 

31 And Moses returned unto the 
Lord, and said, Oh, this people 
have sinned a great sin, and have 
made them gods of gold! 

32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive 
their sin — • and if not, a blot me, I 
pray thee, °out of thy book which 
thou hast written. 

33 And the Lord said unto 
Moses, c Whosoever hath sinned 
against me, him will I blot out of 
my book. 

34 Therefore now go, lead the 
people unto the place of which I 
have spoken unto thee: behold, 
mine d Angel shall go before 
thee: nevertheless 6 in the day 
when I visit I will visit then sin 
upon them. 

35 And the Lord plagued the 
people, because / they made the 
calf which Aaron made

and the people which thou hast 
brought up out of the land of 
Egypt, unto the land which I 
sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and 
to Jacob, saying, Unto ° thy seed 
will I give it: 

2 And I will send an Angel be- 
fore thee; and J I will drive out the 
Canaanite, the Amorite, and the 
Hittite, and the Perizzite, the 
Hivite, and the Jebusite: 

3 Unto a land flowing. with milk 
and honey: for I will not go up in 
the midst of thee; for thou art c a 
stiff-necked people; lest I consume 
thee in the way. 

4 ^ And when the people heard 
these evil tidings, they mourned: 
and d no man did put on him his 
ornaments. 

5 For the Lord had said unto 
Moses, Say unto the children of 
Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked peo- 
ple: I will come up into the midst 
of thee in a moment, and consume 
thee: therefore now put off thy or- 
naments from thee, that I e may 
know what to do unto thee. 

6 And the children of Israel 
stripped themselves of their orna- 
ments by the mount Horeb. 

7 And Moses took the tabernacle, 
and pitched it without the camp, 
afar oil' from the camp, and called 
it The Tabernacle of the Congre- 
gation. And it came to pass, that 
every one which /sought the Lord 
went out unto the tabernacle of 
the congregation, which was with- 
out the camp. 

8 And it came to pass, when 
Moses went out unto the taber- 
nacle, that all the people rose up, 
and stood every man 9 at his tent 
door, and looked after Moses, 
until he was gone into the taber- 
nacle. 

9 And it came to pass, as Moses 
entered into the tabernacle, the 
cloudy pillar descended, and stood 
at the door of the tabernacle, and 
the LORD A talked with Moses. 

10 And all the people saw the 
cloudy pillar stand at the taber- 
nacle door: and all the people rose 
up and worshipped, eveiy man in 
his tent door. 

11 And *the Lord spake unto 
Moses face to face, as a man speak- 
eth unto his friend. And he turned 
again into the camp: but i his ser- 
vant Joshua, the son of Nun, a 
young man, departed not out of 
the tabernacle. 

12 fl And Moses said unto the 

Gr

Lokd, See, thou sayest unto me, 
Bring up this people: and thou 
hast not let me know whom thou 
wilt send with me: yet thou hast 
said, k I know thee by name, and 
thou hast also found grace in my 
sight. 

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, l if 
I have found grace in thy sight, 
show w me now thy way, that 
I may know thee, that I may 
find grace in thy sight ; and 
consider that this nation is n thy 
people. 

14 And he said, °My presence 
shall go with thee, and I will ^give 
thee rest. 

15 And he said unto him, q If thy 
presence go not vnth me, carry us 
not up hence. 

16 For wherein shall it be known 
here that I and thy people have 
found grace in thy sight? r Is it not 
in that thou goest with us? so a shall 
we be separated, I and thy people, 
from all the people that are upon 
the face of the earth. 

17 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
I * will do this thing also that thou 
hast spoken : for thou hast found 
grace in my sight, and I know thee 
by name. 

18 And he said, I beseech thee, 
show me thy u glory. 

19 And he said, " I will make all 
my goodness pass before thee, and 
I will proclaim the name of the 
Lord before thee ; w and will be 
gracious to whom I will be gracious, 
and will show mercy on whom I will 
show mercy. 

20 And he said, Thou canst not 
see my face : for x there shall no 
man see me, and live. 

21 And the Lord said, Behold, 
there is a place by me, and thou 
shalt stand upon a rock : 

22 And it shall come to pass, while 
my glory passeth by, that I will put 
thee y in a clift of the rock, and 
will g cover thee with my hand 
while I pass by : 

23 And I will take away mine 
hand, and thou shalt see my back 
parts ; but my face shall a not be 
seen.

that were in the first tables, which 
thou brakest. 

2 And be ready in the morning, 
and come up in the morning unto 
mount Sinai, and present thyself 
there to me in the top of the mount. 

3 And no man shall come up with 
thee, neither let any man be seen 
throughout all the mount ; neither 
let the flocks nor herds feed before 
that mount. 

4 ^ And he hewed two tables of 
stone like unto the first : and Moses 
rose up early in the morning, and 
went up unto mount Sinai, as the 
Lord had commanded him, and 
took in his hand the two tables of 
stone. 

5 And the Lord descended in the 
cloud, and stood with him there, 
and proclaimed the name of the 
Lord. 

6 And the Lord passed by before 
him, and proclaimed, The Lord, 
The Lord c God, merciful and 
gracious, long-suffering, and abun- 
dant in a goodness and e truth, 

7 Keeping / mercy for thousands, 
forgiving y iniquity and transgres- 
sion and sin, and that h will by no 
means clear the guilty; visiting the 
iniquity of the fathers upon the 
children, and upon the children's 
children, unto the third and to the 
fourth generation. 

8 And Moses made haste, and 
bowed his head toward the earth, 
and worshipped. 

9 And he said, If now I have 
found grace in thy sight, O Lord, 
let my Lord, I pray thee, go among 
us; for it is a stiff-necked people; 
and pardon our iniquity and our 
sin, and take us for * thine inherit- 
ance. 

10 fl And he said, Behold, •?' I 
make a covenant : before all thy 
people I will k do marvels, such as 
have not been done > in all the 
earth, nor in any nation: and all 
the people among which thou art 
shall see the work of the Lord: for 
it is l a terrible thing that I will do 
with thee. 

11 Observe m thou that which I 
command thee this day: behold, I 
drive out before thee the Amorite, 
and the Canaanite, and the Hit- 
tite, and the Perizzite, and the 
Hivite, and the Jebusite. 

12 Take n heed to thyself, lest 
thou make a covenant with the 
inhabitants of the land whither 
thou goest, lest it be for a snare in 
the midst of thee: 



God's covenant with the people. EXODUS, XXXV. Moses descends from the mount. 



13 But ye shall destroy their 
altars, break their 1 images, and 
cut "down their groves: 

14 For thou shalt worship no 
other god: for the Lord, whose 
name p is Jealous, is a q jealous 
God: 

15 Lest thou make a covenant 
with the inhabitants of the land,

thou break his neck. All the first- 
born of thy sons thou shalt re- 
deem. And none shall appear 
before me a empty. 

21 1[ Six b days thou shalt work ;

gathering at the 3 year's end.

27 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Write thou k these words: for after 
the tenor of these words I have 
made a covenant with thee and 
with Israel. 

28 And { he was there with the 
Lord forty days and forty nights; 
he did neither eat bread, nor drink 
water. And m He wrote upon the 
tables the words of the covenant, 
the ten 4 commandments. 

29 ^ And it came to pass, when 
Moses came down from mount 
Sinai with the two tables n of tes- 
timony in Moses' hand, when he 
came down from the mount, that 
Moses wist not that ° the skin of 
his face shone while he talked with 
him. 

30 And when Aaron and all the 
children of Israel saw Moses, be- 
hold, the skin of his face shone ; 
and they were afraid to come nigb 
him. 

31 And Moses called unto them; 
and Aaron and all the rulers of 
the congregation returned unto 
him: and Moses talked with 
them. 

32 And afterward all the children 
of Israel came nigh: p and he gave 
them in commandment all that 
the Lord had spoken with him in 
mount Sinai. 

33 And till Moses had done speak- 
ing with them, he put q a veil on 
his face. 

34 But when Moses went in before 
the Lord to speak with him, he 
took the veil off, until he came out 
And he came out, and spake unto 
the children of Israel that which he 
was commanded. 

35 And the children of Israel saw 
the face of Moses, that the skin of 
Moses' face shone: and Moses put 
the veil upon his face again, until 
he went in to speak with him.

willing, and they brought the 
Lord's offering to the work of the 
tabernacle of the congregation, and 
for all his service, and for the holy 
garments. 

22 And they came, both men and 
women, as many as were willing- 
hearted, and brought bracelets, and 
earrings, and rings, and tablets, 
all jewels of gold : and every man 
that offered offered an offering of 
gold unto the Lord. 

23 And s every man with whom 
was found blue, and purple, and 
scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' 
hair, and red skins of rams, and 
badgers' skins, brought them. 

24 Every one that did offer an 
offering of silver and brass brought 
the Lord's offering i and every man 
with whom was found shittim 
wood, for any work of the service, 
brought it. 

25 And all the women that were 
wise-hearted ' did spin with their 
hands, and brought that which 
they had spun, both of blue, and of 
purple, and of scarlet, and of fine 
linen. 

26 And all the women whose 
heart stirred them up in wisdom 
spun goats' hair. 

27 And u the rulers brought onyx 
stones, and stones to be set, for the 
ephod, and for the breastplate ; 

28 And v spice, and oil for the 
light, and for the anointing oil, 
and for the sweet incense. 

29 The children of Israel brought 
a w willing offering unto the Lord, 
every man and woman, whose 
heart made them willing to bring, 
for all manner of work which the 
Lord had commanded to be made 
by the hand of Moses. 

30 ^f And Moses said unto the 
children of Israel, See, x the Lord 
hath called by name Bezaleel the 
son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the 
tribe of Judah: 

31 And he hath filled him with 
the v spirit of God, in wisdom, in 
understanding, and in knowledge, 
and in all manner of workmanship; 

32 And to devise curious works, 
to work in gold, and in silver, and 
in brass, 

33 And in the cutting of stones, 
to set them, and in carving of wood, 
to make any manner of cunning 
work. 

34 And he hath put in his heart 
that he may teach, both he, and 
Aholiab z the son of Ahisamach, of 
the tribe of Dan. 



The people's free-will offerings. EXODUS, XXXVI. The curtains of the tabernacle. 



35 Them hath he "filled with 
wisdom of heart, to work all man- 
ner of work of the engraver, and of 
the cunning workman, and of the 
embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, 
in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of 
the weaver, even of them that do 
any work, and of those that devise 
cunning work. 

CHAPTER XXXVI. 

1 The offerings delivered to the workmen. 
4 The liberality of the people restrained. 
8 The curtains. 19 The covering. _35 
The veil, etc. 

THEN" wrought Bezaleel and 
Aholiab, and every a wise- 
hearted man, in whom the Lord 
put wisdom and understanding to 
know how to work all manner of 
work for the service of the b sanc- 
tuary, according to all that the 
Lord had commanded. 

2 And Moses called Bezaleel and 
Aholiab, and every wise-hearted 
man, in whose heart the Lord had 
put wisdom, even every one whose 
heart c stirred him up to come imto 
the work to do it : 

3 And they received of Moses all 
the offering which the children of 
Israel d had brought for the work 
of the service of the sanctuary, to 
make it withal And they brought 
yet unto him free offerings every 
morning. 

4 % And all the wise men, that 
wrought all the work of the sanc- 
tuary, came every man from his 
work which they made ; 

5 And they spake unto Moses, 
saying, 6 The people bring much 
more than enough for the service 
of the work which the Lord com- 
manded to make. 

6 And Mosesgave commandment, 
and they caused it to be proclaimed 
throughout the camp, sajing, Let 
neither man nor woman make any 
more work for the offering of the 
sanctuary. So the people were 
restrained from bringing. 

7 For the stuff they had was 
sufficient for all the work to make 
it, and too much. 

8 % And every / wise- hearted man 
among them that wrought the 
work of the tabernacle made ten 
curtains of fine twined linen, and 
blue, and purple, and scarlet : with 
cherubim 9 of cunning work made 
he them. 

9 The length of one curtain xcas 
twenty and eight cubits, and the 
breadth of one curtain four cubits : 
the curtains were all of one size.

10 And he coupled the five cur- 
tains one unto another ; and the 
other five curtains he coupled one 
unto another. 

11 And he made loops of blue on 
the edge of one curtain from the 
selvage in the coupling : likewise 
he made in the uttermost side of 
another curtain, in the coupling of 
the second. 

12 Fifty h loops made he in one 
curtain, and fifty loops made he in 
the edge of the curtain which was 
in the coupling of the second: the 
loops held one curtain to another. 

13 And he made fifty taches of 
gold, and coupled the curtains one 
unto another with the taches : so 
it became one tabernacle. 

14 % And * he made curtains of 
goats' hair for the tent over the 
tabernacle : eleven curtains he 
made them. 

15 The length of one curtain was 
thirty cubits, and four cubits was 
the breadth of one curtain : the 
eleven curtains were of one size. 

16 And he coupled five curtains 
by themselves, and six curtains by 
themselves. 

17 And he made fifty loops upon 
the uttermost edge of the curtain 
in the coupling, and fifty loops 
made he upon the edge of the 
curtain which coupleth the second. 

18 And he made fifty taches of 
brass to couple the tent together, 
that it might be one. 

19 1[ And i he made a covering 
for the tent of rams' skins dyed 
red, and a covering of badgers' 
skins above that. 

20 % And *he made boards for the 
tabernacle of J shittimwood, stand- 
ing up. 

21 The length of a board was 
ten cubits, and the breadth of a 
board one cubit and a half. 

22 One board had two x tenons, 
equally distant one from another : 
thus did he make for all the boards 
of the tabernacle. 

23 And he made boards for the 
tabernacle; twenty boards for the 
south side southward. 

24 And forty sockets of silver he 
made under the twenty boards ; 
two sockets under one board for 
his two tenons, and two sockets 
under another board for his two 
tenons. 

25 And for the other side of the 
tabernacle, which is toward the 
north corner, he made twenty 
boards,

26 And their forty sockets of 
silver ; two sockets under one 
board, and two sockets under 
another board. 

27 And for the sides of the taber- 
nacle 2 westward he made six 
boards. 

28 And two boards made he for 
the corners of the tabernacle in 
the two sides. 

29 And they were 3 coupled 
beneath, and coupled together at 
the head thereof, to one ring : thus 
he did to both of them in both the 
corners." 1 

30 And there were eight boards ; 
and their sockets were sixteen 
sockets of silver, * under every 
board two sockets. 

31 ^ And he made m bars of 
shittim wood ; five for the boards 
of the one side of the tabernacle, 

32 And five bars for the boards 
of the other side of the tabernacle, 
and five bars for the boards of the 
tabernacle for the sides westward. 

33 And he made the middle bar 
to shoot through the boards from 
the one end to the other. 

34 And he overlaid the boards 
with gold, and made their rings of 
gold to be places for the bars, and 
overlaid the bars with gold. 

35 ^[ And he made n a veil of blue, 
and purple, and scarlet, and fine 
twined linen: with cherubim made 
he it of cunning work. 

36 And he made thereunto four 
pillars o/"shittim wood, and overlaid 
them with gold : their hooks were 
of gold ; and he cast for them four 
sockets of silver. 

37 H And he made an ° hanging 
for the tabernacle door of blue, 
and purple, and scarlet, and fine 
twined linen, 5 of needlework ; 

38 And the five pillars of it with 
their hooks : and he overlaid their 
chapiters p and their fillets with 
gold : but their five sockets were of 
brass.

etc. 32 All viewed and approved by 
Moses. 

AND of ° the blue, and purple, 
and scarlet, they made 6 cloths 
of service, to do service in the holy 
place, and made the holy garments 
for Aaron; c as the Lord com- 
manded Moses. 

2 And d he made the ephod of 
gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, 
and fine twined linen. 

3 And they did beat the gold into 
thin plates, and cut it into wires, to 
work it in the blue, and in the 
purple, and in the scarlet, and in 
the fine linen, with cunning work. 

4 They made shoulder-pieces for 
it, to couple & together: by the two 
edges was it coupled together. 

5 And the 6 curious gudle of his 
ephod, that was upon it, was of 
the same, according to the work 
thereof; o/gold, blue, and purple, 
and scarlet, and fine twined linen; 
as the Lord commanded Moses. 

6 TF And /they wrought 9 onyx 
stones inclosed in ouches of gold, 
graven, as signets are graven, with 
the h names of the children of Is- 
rael. 

7 And he put them on the shoul- 
ders of the ephod, that they should 
be stones for a * memorial to the 
children of Israel; as the Lord 
commanded Moses. 

8 fl And i he made the breast- 
plate of cunning work, like the 
work of the ephod; of gold, blue, 
and purple, and scarlet, and fine 
twined linen. 

9 It was foursquare ; they made 
the breastplate double: a span was 
the length thereof, and a span the 
breadth thereof, being doubled. 

10 And * they set in it four rows of 
stones: the first row was a x sardius,

a 2 topaz, and a 3 carbuncle: this 
was the first row. 

11 And the second row, an 
4 emerald, a 5 sapphire, and a 
6 diamond. 

12 And the third row, a 7 ligure, 
an 8 agate, and an 9 amethyst. 

13 And the fourth row, a 10 beryl, 
an u onyx, and a 12 jasper: they 
toere inclosed in ouches of gold in 
their inclosings. 

14 And the stones were according 
to the names of the children of 
Israel, twelve, according to then- 
names, like the engravings of a 
signet, every one with his name, 
according to the twelve tribes. 

15 And they made upon the 
breastplate chains at the ends, of 
wreathen work of pure gold. 

16 And they made two ouches of 
gold, and two gold rings, and put 
the two rings in the two ends of 
the breastplate. 

17 And they put the two wreath- 
en chains of gold in the two rings 
on the ends of the breastplate. 

18 And the two ends of the two 
wreathen chains they fastened in 
the two ouches, and put them on 
the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, 
before it. 

19 And they made two rings of 
gold, and put them on the two ends 
of the breastplate, upon the border 
of it, which was on the side of the 
ephod inward. 

20 And they made two other 
golden rings, and put them on the 
two sides of the ephod underneath, 
toward the fore part of it, over 
against the other coupling thereof, 
above the curious girdle of the 
ephod. 

21 And they did bind the breast- 
plate by his rings unto the rings of 
the ephod with a lace of blue, that 
it might be above the curious 
girdle of the ephod, and that the 
breastplate might not be loosed 
from the ephod; as the Lord com- 
manded Moses. 

22 % And l he made the robe of 
the ephod of woven work, all of 
blue. 

23 And there was an hole in the 
midst of the robe, as the hole of an 
habergeon, with a band round 
about the hole, that it should not 
rend. 

24 And they made upon the 
hems of the robe pomegranates of 
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
twined linen.

16 Thus did Moses: according to 
all that the Lord commanded 
him, so did he. 

17 % And it came to pass in the 
first month in the second year, on 
the first day of the month, that 
the w tabernacle was reared up. 

18 And Moses reared up the tab- 
ernacle, and fastened his sockets, 
and set up the boards thereof, and 
put in the bars thereof, and reared 
up his pillars. 

19 And he spread abroad the 
tent over the tabernacle, and put 
the covering of the tent above 
upon it ; as the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

20 % And he took and put the 
3 testimony into the ° ark, and set 
the staves on the ark, and put the 
mercyseat above upon the ark : 

21 And he brought the ark into 
the tabernacle, and p set up the 
veil of the covering, and covered 
the ark of the testimony; as the 
Lord commanded Moses. 

22 fl And q he put the table in 
the tent of the congregation, upon 
the side of the tabernacle north- 
ward, without the veil. 

23 And he set the bread in order 
upon it before the Lord ; as the 
Lord had commanded Moses. 

24 If And r he put the candlestick 
in the tent of the congregation, 
over against the table, on the side 
of the tabernacle southward. 

25 And s he lighted the lamps 
before the Lord; as the Lord 
commanded Moses. 

26 \ And 'he put the golden 
altar in the tent of the congrega- 
tion before the veil : 

27 And M he burned sweet in- 
cense thereon ; as the Lord com- 
manded Moses.

34 \ Then a a cloud covered the 
tent of the congregation, and the 
glory of the Lord tilled the taber- 
nacle. 

35 And Moses 6 was not able to 
enter into the tent of the congre- 
gation, because the cloud abode 
thereon, and the glory of the Lord 
filled the tabernacle. 

36 And c when the cloud was 
taken up from over the taberna-

offering of thy first-fruits green

thereof, with all the frankincense 
thereof: it is an offering made by

CHAPTEE IV. 

I The sin offering of ignorance for the 
priest, 13 for the congregation, 22 for a 
ruler, 27 for any of the people. 

AND the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of 
Israel, saying, a If a soul shall sin 
through ignorance against any of 
the commandments of the Lord 
concerning things which ought not to 
be done, and shall do against any 
of them: 

3 If 6 the priest that is anointed 
do sin according to the sin of the 
people; then let him bring for 
his sin, which he hath sinned, a 
young c bullock without blemish 
unto the Lord for a sin offering. 

4 And he shall bring the bullock 
unto d the door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation before the 
Lord; and shall lay his hand 
upon the bullock's head, and kill 
the bullock before the Lord. 

5 And the priest that is anointed 
shall 6 take of the bullock's blood, 
and bring it to the tabernacle of 
the congregation: 

6 And the priest shall dip his 
finger in the blood, and sprinkle 
of the blood seven times before 
the / Lord, before the veil of the 
sanctuary. 

7 And the priest shall 9 put some 
of the blood upon the horns of the 
altar of sweet incense before the 
Lord, which is in the tabernacle 
of the congregation; and shall 
pour h all the blcod of the bullock 
at the bottom of the altar of the 
burnt offering, which is at the 
door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation. 

8 And he shall take off from it all 
the fat of the bullock for the sin 
offering; the fat that covereth the 
inwards s and all the fat that is 
upon the inwards, 

9 And the two kidneys, and the 
fat that is upon them, which is by 
the flanks, and the caul above the 
fiver, with the kidneys, it shall he 
take away, 

10 As it was taken off from the 
bullock of the sacrifice of peace 
offerings: and the priest shall burn 
them upon the altar of the burnt 
offering. 

II And f the skin of the bullock, 
and all his flesh, with his head,

and with his legs, and his inwards, 
and his dung, 

12 Even the whole bullock shall 
he cany forth x without the camp 
unto a clean place, i where the 
ashes are poured out, and * burn 
him on the wood with fire: 2 where 
the ashes are poured out shall he 
be burnt. 

1i%\ And l if the whole congrega- 
tion of Israel sin through igno- 
rance, m and the thing be hid from 
the eyes of the assembly, and they 
have done somewliat against any of 
the commandments of the Lord 
concerning things which should not 
be done, and are guilty; 

14 When the sin, which they have 
sinned against it, is known, then 
the congregation shall offer a 
young bullock for the sin, and 
bring hirn before the tabernacle of 
the congregation.

CHAPTER Y. 

1 The trespass offering of one that conceal- 
eth his knowledge in touching an unclean 
thing, lor in making an oath. 14 The 
trespass offering in sacrilege, 17 and in 
sins of ignorance. 

AND if a soul sin, a and hear the 
voice of swearing, and is a wit- 
ness, whether he hath seen or 
known of it: if he do not utter it, 
then he shall h bear his iniquity. 

2 Or c if a soul touch any unclean 
thing, whether it be a carcase of an 
unclean beast, or a carcase of un- 
clean cattle, or the carcase of un- 
clean creeping things, and if it be 
hidden from him; he also shall be 
unclean, and guilty. 

3 Or if he touch the d uncleanness 
of man, whatsoever uncleanness it 
be that a man shall be denied 
withal, and it be hid from him; 
when he knoweth of it, then he 
Ehall be guilty. 

4 Or if a soul swear, e pronouncing 
with his lips •''to do evil, or 9 to do 
good, whatsoever it be that a man 
shall pronounce with an oath, and 
it be hid from him; when he know- 
eth of it, then he shall be guilty in 
one of these. 

5 And it shall be, when he shall 
be guilty in one of these things, that 
he shall h confess that he hath sin- 
ned in that thing: 

6 And he shall bring his trespass 
offering unto the Lord for his sin 
which he hath sinned, a female 
from the flock, a lamb, or a kid of 
the goats, for a sin offering; and 
the priest shall make an atonement 
for him concerning his sin. 

7 And * if 1 he be not able to bring 
a lamb, then he shall bring for his 
trespass, which he hath committed, 
two turtle-doves, or two young 
pigeons, unto the Lord; one for a 
sin offering, and the other for a 
burnt offering. 

8 And he shall bring them unto 
the priest, who shall offer that which 
is for the sin offering first, and

for a burnt offering, •> according to

of an ephah of fine flour for a sin 
offering: * he shall put no oil upon

priest, and the priest shall take his 
handful of it, even a memorial 
thereof, and bum it on the altar, 
according 2 to the offerings made 
by fire unto the Lord: it is a sin 
offering. 

13 And the priest shall make an 
atonement for him as touching his 
sin that he hath sinned in one of 
these, and it shall be forgiven him: 
and the remnant shall be the priest's, 
as a meat offering. 

14 fl And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

15 If m a soul commit a trespass, 
and sin through ignorance, in the 
holy things of the Lord; then " he 
shall bring for his trespass unto the 
Lord a ram without blemish out 
of the flocks, with thy estimation 
by shekels of silver, after °the 
shekel of the sanctuary, for a tres- 
pass offering: 

16 And he shall make amends for 
the harm that he hath done in the 
holy thing, and * shah add the fifth 
part thereto, and give it unto the 
priest: 2 and the priest shall make 
an atonement for him with the 
ram of the trespass offering, and it 
shall be forgiven him. 

17 % And if a soul sin, and com- 
mit any of these things which are 
forbidden to be done by the com- 
mandments of the Lord; though 
he r wist it not, yet is he guilty, and 
shall bear his iniquity.

for them: the priest that maketh 
atonement therewith shall have it. 

8 And the priest that offereth 
any man's burnt offering, even the 
priest shall have to himself the 
skin of the burnt offering which 
he hath offered. 

9 And » all the meat offering that 
is baken in the oven, and all that 
is dressed in the frying-pan, and 
in 1 the pan, shall be the i priest's 
that offereth it. 

10 And every meat offering 
mingled with oil, and dry, shall 
all the sons of Aaron have, one as 
much as another.

sacrifice of peace offerings, which 
he shall offer unto the Lord.

ing, then he shall offer with the 
sacrifice of thanksgiving unleav- 
ened cakes mingled with oil, and 
unleavened wafers l anointed with 
oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of 
fine flour, fried. 

13 Besides the cakes, he shall 
offer for his offering m leavened 
bread with the sacrifice of thanks- 
giving of his peace offerings. 

14 And of it he shall offer one out 
of the whole oblation for an heave 
offering unto the Lord, n and it 
shall be the priest's that sprink- 
leth the blood of the peace offer- 
ings. 

15 And ° the flesh of the sacrifice 
of his peace offerings for thanks- 
giving shall be eaten the same day 
that it is offered; he shall not leave 
any of it until the morning. 

16 But p if the sacrifice of his 
offering be a vow, or a voluntary 
offering, it shall be eaten the same 
day that he offereth his sacrifice: 
and on the morrow also the re- 
mainder of it shall be eaten:

sacrifices of their peace offerings, 
and have given them unto Aaron 
the priest and unto his sons by a 
statute for ever from among the 
children of Israel. 

35 ^ This is the portion of the 
anointing of Aaron, and of the 
anointing of his sons, out of the 
offerings of the Lord made by fire, 
in the day wlien he presented them 
to minister unto the Lord in the 
priest's office ; 

36 Which the Lord commanded 
to be given them of the children 
of Israel, e in the day that he 
anointed them, by a statute /for 
ever throughout then generations. 

37 This is the law 9 of the burnt, 
offering, of the meat offering, 7i and 
of the sin offering, and of the 
trespass offering, * and of the con- 
secrations, and of the sacrifice of 
the peace offerings; 

38 Which the Lord commanded 
Moses in mount Sinai, in the day 
that he commanded the children 
of Israel to offer their oblations 
unto the Lord, in the wilderness 
of Sinai.

the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation. 

5 And Moses said unto the con. 
gregation, This is the thing which 
the Lord commanded to be done. 

6 And Moses brought Aaron and 
his sons, and c washed them with 
water. 

7 And he put upon him d the

8 And he put the breastplate 
upon him: also he put in the 
breastplate e the Urim and the 
Thummim. 

9 And /he put the mitre upon 
his head; also upon the mitre, even 
upon his fore front, did he put the 
golden plate, the holy crown ; as 
the Lord 9 commanded Moses. 

- 10 And h Moses took the anoint- 
ing oil, and anointed the taberna- 
cle and all that was therein, and 
sanctified them. 

11 And he sprinkled thereof upon 
the altar seven times, and anoint- 
ed the altar and all his vessels, 
both the laver and his foot, to 
6anctify them. 

m 12 And he * poured of the anoint- 
ing oil upon Aaron's head, and 
anointed nim, to sanctify him. 

13 And i Moses brought Aaron's 
sons, and put coats upon them, 
and girded them with girdles, and 
1 put bonnets upon them; as the 
Lord commanded Moses. 

14 \ And k he brought the bul- 
lock for the sin offering: and 
Aaron and his sons l laid their 
hands upon the head of the bul- 
lock for the sin offering. 

15 And he slew it; "* and Moses 
took the blood, and put it upon 
the horns of the altar round about 
with his finger, and purified the 
altar, and poured the blood at 
the bottom of the altar, and sanc- 
tified it, to make reconciliation 
upon it. 

16 And n he took all the fat that 
was upon the inwards, and the 
caul above the fiver, and the two 
kidneys, and their fat, and Moses 
burned it upon the altar. 

17 But the bullock, and his hide, 
his flesh, and his dung, he burnt 
with fire without the camp; as the 
Lord ° commanded Moses. 

18 % And p he brought the ram 
for the burnt offering: and Aaron 
and his sons laid their hands upon 
the head of the ram. 

19 And he killed it; and Moses 
sprinkled the blood upon the altar

20 And he cut the ram into 
pieces; and Moses burnt the head,

22 ^ And r he brought the other 
ram, the ram of consecration: and 
Aaron and his sons laid their 
hands upon the head of the ram. 

23 And he slew it; and Moses 
took of the blood of it, and put it 
upon * the tip of Aaron's right ear, 
and upon the thumb of his right 
hand, and upon the great toe of 
his right foot. 

24 And he brought Aaron's sons, 
and Moses put ot the blood upon 
the tip of their right ear, and upon 
the thumbs of their right hands, 
and upon the great toes of their 
right feet; and Moses ' sprinkled 
the blood upon the altar round 
about 

25 And u he took the fat, and 
the rump, and all the fat that was 
upon the inwards, and the caul 
above the fiver, and the two kid- 
neys, and their fat, and the right 
shoulder: 

26 And " out of the basket of 
unleavened bread that was before 
the Lord he took one unleavened 
cake, and a cake of oiled bread, 
and one wafer, and put them on the 
fat, and upon the right shoulder: 

27 And he put all upon Aaron's 
hands, and upon his sons' hands, 
and waved them for a wave offer- 
ing before the Lord. 

28 And x Moses took them from 
off their hands, and burnt them on 
the altar upon the burnt offering: 
they were consecrations for y a 
sweet savour: it is an offering made 
by fire unto the Lord. 

29 And Moses took the breast, 
and waved it for a wave offering 
before the Lord: for of the ram of 
consecration it was * Moses' part; 
as the Lord commanded Moses. 

30 And a Moses took of the 
anointing oil, and of the blood 
which was upon the altar, and 
sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon 
his garments, and upon his sons, 
and upon his sons' garments with 
him; and sanctified Aaron, andhis, 
garments, and his sons, and his 
sons' garments with him. 

31 If And Moses said unto Aaron 
and to his sons, 6 Boil the flesh at 
the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation; and there eat it with 
the bread that is in the basket of 
consecrations, as I commanded, 
saying, Aaron and his sons shall

33 And ye shall not go out of the 
door of the tahernacle of the con- 
gregation in seven days, until the 
days of your consecration be at an 
end: for d seven days shall he con- 
secrate you. 

34 As he 6 hath done this day, so 
the Lord hath commanded to do,

35 Therefore shall ye abide at the 
door of the tabernacle of tbe con- 
gregation day and night seven 
days, and /keep the charge of the 
Lord, that ye die not: for so I am

36 So Aaron and his sons did all 
things which the Lord commanded 
by the hand of Moses. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1, 8 Aaron's sin offering and burnt offer- 
ing for himself and the people. 23 Moses 
and Aaron bless the people, and fire 
cometh out from the Lord upon the altar. 

AND °it came to pass on tbe 
eighth day, that Moses called 
Aaron and his sons, and the elders 
of Israel; 

2 And he said unto Aaron, h Take 
thee a young calf for a sin offering, 
and c a ram for a burnt offering, 
without blemish, and offer them 
before the Lord. 

3 And unto tbe children of Israel 
tbou shalt speak, saying, d Take ye 
a kid of the goats for a sin offering; 
and a calf and a lamb, both of the 
first year, without blemish, for a 
burnt offering; 

4 Also a bullock and a ram for 
peace offerings, to sacrifice before 
the Lord; and a "meat offering 
mingled with oil: for /to-day the 
Lord will appear unto you. 

5 % And they brought that which 
Moses commanded before the taber- 
nacle of the congregation: and all 
the congregation drewjiear and 
stood before the Lord. 

6 And Moses said, This is the 
thing wbich the Lord commanded 
tbat ye should do: and 9 the glory 
of the Lord shall appear unto you. 

7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go 
unto the altar, and a offer thy sin 
offering, and thy burnt offering, 
and make an atonement for thy- 
self, and for the people: and » offer 
the offering of the people, and 
make an atonement for them; as 
the Lord commanded. 

8 1[ Aaron therefore went unto 
the altar, and slew the calf of the 
sin offering which was for himself.

upon the horns of the altar, and

10 But l the fat, and the kidneys,

11 And n tbe flesh and the hide

12 And he slew the burnt offer-

sprinkled round about upon the

13 And they presented the burnt 
offering unto him, with the pieces 
thereof, and the head : and he 
burnt them upon the altar. 

14 And he did wash the inwards 
and the legs, and burnt them upon 
the burnt offering on the altar. 

15 f And °he brought the people's 
offering, and took the goat, which 
was the sin offering for the people, 
and slew it, and offered it for sin, 
as the first. 

16 And he brought the burnt 
offering, and offered it according 
to the » manner. 

17 And he brought the meat offer- 
ing, and 2 took an handful thereof,

side the burnt sacrifice of the 
morning. 

18 He slew also the bullock and 
the ram for a sacrifice of peace

him the blood, which he sprinkled 
upon the altar round about, 

19 And the fat of the bullock and 
of the ram, the rump, and that 
which covereth the inwards, and the

commanded. 

22 And Aaron lifted up his hand

24 And u there came a fire out 
from " before the Lord, and con-

and fell on their faces.

1 Nadab and Abihu burnt. 8 The priests

AND a Nadab and Abihu, the 
sons of Aaron, took either of 
them his censer, and put fire there- 
in, and put incense thereon, and 
offered ° strange fire before the 
Lord, which he commanded them 
not. 

2 And there c went out fire from 
the Lord, and devoured them; and 
they died before the Lord. 

3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, 
This is it that the Lord spake, 
saying, I will be sanctified in them 
that d come nigh me, and before 
all the people I will be e glorified. 
And Aaron held his peace. 

4 And Moses called Mishael and 
Elzaphan, the sons of t Uzziel the 
uncle of Aaron, and said unto 
them, Come near, 9 carry your 
brethren from before the sanctuary 
out of the camp. 

5 So they went near, and carried 
them in their coats out of the 
camp; as Moses had said. 

6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and 
unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, 
his sons, n Uncover not your heads, 
neither rend your clothes, lest ye 
die, and lest * wrath come upon all 
the people: but let your brethren,

7 And J ye shall not go out from

Aaron, saying, 

9 Do l not drink wine nor strong

thee, when ye go into the taber-

beside the altar: for ^it is most 
holy: 

13 And ye shall eat it in the holy 
place, because it is thy due, and 
thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of 
the Lord made by fire: for so I am 
commanded. 

14 And ff the wave breast and 
heave shoulder shall ye eat in a 
clean place; thou, and thy sons, 
and thy daughters with thee: for 
they be thy due, and thy sons' due, 
which are given out of the sacrifices 
of peace offerings of the children 
of Israel. 

15 The heave shoulder and the 
wave breast shall they bring with 
the offerings made by fire of the fat, 
to wave it for a wave offering be- 
fore the Lord; and it shall be thine, 
and thy sons' with thee, by a statute 
for ever; as the Lord hath com- 
manded. 

16 ^ And Moses diligently sought 
the r goat of the sin offering, and, 
behold, it was burnt: and he was 
angry with Eleazar and Ithainar, 
the sons of Aaron which were left 
alive^i saying, 

17 Wherefore s have ye not eaten 
the sin offering in the holy place, 
seeing it is most holy, and God 
hath given it you to bear the 
iniquity of the congregation, to 
make atonement for them before 
the Losd? 

18 Behold, the blood of it was not 
brought in within the holy place: 
ye should indeed have eaten it in 
the holy place, { as I commanded. 

19 And Aaron said unto Moses, 
Behold, this May have they offered 
their sin offering and their burnt 
offering before the Lord; and such 
things have befallen me: and if I 
had eaten the sin offering to-day, 
should v it have been accepted in 
the sight of the Lord ? , 

20 And when Moses heard that, he 
was content. 

CHAPTER XL 

What beasU may and wTiat may not be 
eaten, etc. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses 
and to Aaron, saying unto 
them, 



What animals may be eaten. 



LEVITICUS, XI. What animals may not be eaten. 



2 Speak unto the children of 
Israel, saying, ° These are the beasts 
which ye shall eat among all the 
beasts that are on the earth. 

3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, 
and is cloven-footed, and cheweth 
the cud, among the beasts, that 
shall ye eat. 

4 Nevertheless these shall ye not 
eat of them that chew the cud, or 
of them that divide the hoof: as 
the camel, because he cheweth the 
cud, but divideth not the hoof; he 
is unclean unto you. 

5 And the coney, because he 
cheweth the cud, but divideth not 
the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 

6 And the hare, because he chew- 
eth the cud, but divideth not the 
hoof; he is b unclean unto you. 

7 And the swine, though he divide 
the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet 
he cheweth not the cud; c he is un- 
clean to you. 

8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, 
and their carcase shall ye not 
touch; d they are unclean to you. 

9 \ These 6 shaU ye eat of all that 
are in the waters: whatsoever hath 
fins and scales in the waters, in the 
seas, and in the rivers, them shall 
ye eat. 

10 And all that have not fins and 
scales in the seas, and in the rivers, 
of all that move in the waters, and 
of any living thing which is in the 
waters, they shall be an /abomina- 
tion unto you: 

11 They shall be even an abomi- 
nation unto you; ye shall not eat 
of their flesh, but ye shall have 
their carcases in abomination. 

12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor 
scales in the waters, that shall be 
an abomination unto you. 

13 % And 9 these are they which ye 
shall have in abomination among 
the fowls; they shall not be eaten, 
they are an abomination: the 
eagle, and the x ossifrage, and the 
2 ospray, 

14 And the vulture, and the kite 
after his kind; 

15 Every raven after his kind; 

16 And the owl, and the night 
hawk, and the cuckoo, and the 
hawk after his kind, 

17 And the little owl, and the 
cormorant, and the great owl, 

18 And the swan, and the A peli-

21 Yet these may ye eat of every 
flying creeping thing that goeth 
upon all four, which have legs above 
their feet, to leap withal upon the 
earth; 

22 Even these of them ye may eat; 
the i locust after his kind, and the 
bald locust after his kind, and the 
beetle after his kind, and the 
grasshopper'' after his kind. 

23 But all other flying creeping 
things, which have four feet, shall 
be an abomination unto you. 

24 And for these ye shall be un- 
clean : whosoever toucheth the 
carcase of them shall be unclean 
until the even. 

25 And whosoever beareth ought 
of the carcase of them k shall wash 
his clothes, and be unclean until 
the even. 

26 The carcases of every beast 
which divideth the hoof, and is not 
cloven-footed, nor cheweth the 
cud, are unclean unto you: every 
one that toucheth them shall be 
unclean. 

27 And 5 whatsoever goeth upon 
his paws, among all manner of 
beasts that go on all four, those are 
unclean unto you: whoso toucheth 
their carcase shall be unclean until 
the even. 

28 And he that beareth the car- 
case of them shall wash his clothes, 
and be unclean until the even : 
they are unclean unto you. 

29 ^ These also shall be l unclean 
unto you among the creepmgthings 
that creep upon the earth; the 
weasel, and m the mouse, and the 
6 tortoise after his kind, 

30 And the ferret, and the chame- 
leon, and the lizard, and the n snail, 
and the ° mole. 

31 These are unclean to you among 
all that creep: whosoever doth 
touch them, when they be dead, 
shall be unclean until the even. 

32 And upon whatsoever any of 
them, when they are dead, doth 
fall, it shall be unclean; whether 
it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, 
or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel 
it be, wherein any work is done, ^it 
must be put into water, and it 
shall be unclean until the even; so 
it shall be cleansed. 

33 And every earthen vessel

cometh shall be unclean: and all 
drink that may be drunk in every 
such vessel shall be unclean. 

35 And every thing whereupon 
any part of their carcase falleth 
shall be unclean; whether it be oven, 
or ranges for pots, they shall be 
broken down: for they are unclean, 
and shall be unclean unto you. 

36 Nevertheless a fountain or 
pit, * wherein there is plenty of water, 
shall be clean: but that which 
toucheth their carcase shall be 
unclean. 

37 And if any part of their car- 
case fall upon any sowing seed 
which is to be sown, it shall be 
clean. 

38 But if any water be put upon 
the seed, and any part of their 
carcase fall thereon, it shall be 
unclean unto you. 

39 And if any beast of which ye 
may eat die; he that toucheth the 
carcase thereof shall be unclean 
until the even. 

40 And r he that eateth of the 
carcase of it shall wash his clothes,

42 Whatsoever goeth upon the 
belly, and whatsoever goeth upon

feet among all creeping things that 
creep upon the earth, them ye

abomination. 

43 Ye * shall not make 3 your- 
selves abominable with any creep- 
ing thing that creepeth, neither 
shall ye make yourselves unclean 
with them, that ye should be de- 
filed thereby. 

44 For ( I am the Lord your God:

I am holy: neither shall ye defile

CHAPTER XLL 

1 The purification of a woman after 
childbirth: 6 her offerings for her puri- 
fying. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, 
saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of 
Israel, saying, If a woman have 
conceived seed, and born a man- 
child: then a she shall be unclean 
seven days; b according to the days 
of the separation for her infhmity 
shall she be unclean. 

3 And in the c eighth day the 
flesh of his foreskin shall be cir- 
cumcised. 

4 And she shall then continue in 
the blood of her purifying three 
and thirty days ; she shall touch 
no hallowed thing, nor come into 
the sanctuary, until the days of 
her purifying be fulfilled. 

5 But if she bear a maid-child, 
then she shall be unclean two 
weeks, as in her separation: and 
she shall continue in the blood of 
her purifying threescore and six 
days. 

6 And <*when the days of her 
purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or 
for a daughter, she shall bring e a 
lamb x of the first year for a burnt 
offering, and a young pigeon, or a 
turtle-dove, for a sin offering, unto 
the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation, unto the priest: 

7 Who shall offer it before the 
Lord, and make ^an atonement 
for her; and she shall be cleansed 
from the issue of her blood. This 
is the law for her that hath born 
a male or a female. 

8 And ff if 2 she be not able to 
bring a lamb, then she shall bring 
two turtles, or two young pigeons; 
the one for the burnt offering, and 
the other for a sin offering: and 
the h priest shall make an atone- 
ment for her, and she shall be 
clean. 

CHAPTER XTTT. 
The laws and tokens in discerning leprosy. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses 
and Aaron, saying, 
2 When a man shall have in the 
skin of his flesh a l rising, a a scab, 
or bright spot, and it be in the

skin of his flesh like the plague of 
leprosy; h then he shall be brought 
unto Aaron the priest, or unto one 
of his sons the priests: 

3 And the priest shall look on 
the plague in the skin of the flesh: 
and when the hair in the plague is 
turned white, and the plague in 
sight be deeper than the skin of 
his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: 
and the priest shall look on him, 
and pronounce him unclean. 

4 If the bright spot be white in 
the skin of his flesh, and in sight 
be not deeper than the skin, and 
the hair thereof be not turned 
white; then the priest shall shut 
up him that hath the plague seven 
days: 

5 And the priest shall look on 
him the seventh day: and, behold, 
if the plague in his sight be at a 
stay, and the plague spread not in 
the skin; then the priest shall 
shut him up seven days more: 

6 And the priest shall look on 
him again the seventh day: and, 
behold, if the plague be somewhat 
dark, and the plague spread not in 
the skin, the priest shall pronounce 
him clean; it is but a scab: and he 
shall c wash his clothes, and be 
clean. 

7 But if the scab spread much 
abroad in the skin, after that he 
hath been seen of the priest for his 
cleansing, he shall be seen of the 
priest again: 

8 And if the priest see that, be- 
hold, the scab spreadeth in the 
skin, then the priest shall pro- 
nounce him unclean : it is d a 
leprosy. 

9 \ When the plague of leprosy 
is in a man, then he shall c be 
brought unto the priest; 

10 And /the priest shall see him: 
and, behold, if the rising be white 
in the skin, and it have turned the 
hair white, and there be 2 quick raw 
flesh in the rising, 

11 It is an old leprosy in the skin 
of his flesh: and the priest shall 
pronounce him unclean, and shall 
not shut him up; for he is unclean. 

12 And if a leprosy break out 
abroad in the skin, and the leprosy 
cover all the skin of him that hath 
the plague from his head even to 
his foot, wheresoever the priest 
looketh;

clean. 

14 But when raw flesh appeareth 
in him, he shall be unclean. 

15 And the 9 priest shall see the 
raw flesh, and pronounce him to 
be unclean: for the raw flesh is 
unclean: it is a leprosy. 

16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, 
and be changed unto white, he 
shall A come unto the priest;

dish, and it be showed to the 
priest; 

20 And if, when the priest seeth 
it, behold, it be in sight lower than 
the skin, and the hair thereof 
be turned white; the priest shall 
pronounce him unclean : it is a 
plague of leprosy broken out of 
the boil. 

21 But if the priest look on it, 
and, behold, there be no white hairs 
therein, and if it be not lower than 
the skin, but be somewhat dark; 
then the priest shall shut him up 
seven days: 

22 And if it spread much abroad 
in the skin, then the priest shall 
pronounce him unclean: it is a 
plague. 

23 But if the bright spot stay in 
his place, and spread not, it is a 
burning boil; and the priest k shall 
pronounce him clean. 

24 fl Or if there be any flesh, in 
the skin whereof there is 4 a hot 
burning, and the quick flesh that 
burneth have a white bright spot, 
somewhat reddish, or white; 

25 Then the priest shall look 
upon it: and, behold, if the hair 
in the bright spot be turned white, 
and it be in sight deeper than the 
skin, it is a leprosy broken out of 
the burning: wherefore the priest 
shall pronounce him unclean: it is 
the l plague of leprosy. 

26 But if the priest look on it,

in the bright spot, and it be no 
lower than the other skin, but be

him unclean: it is the plague of 
leprosy. 

28 And if the bright spot stay in 
his place, and spread not in the 
skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is 
a rising of the burning, and the 
priest shall pronounce him clean: 
for it is an inflammation of the 
burning. 

29 1f If a man or woman have a 
plague upon the head or the beard; 

30 Then n the priest shall see the 
plague: and, behold, if it be in sight 
deeper than the skin, and there be 
in it a yellow thin hair; then the 
priest shall pronounce him un- 
clean: it is a dry ° scall, even a 
leprosy upon the head or beard. 

31 And if the priest look on the 
plague of the scall, and, behold, it 
be not in sight deeper tban the 
skin, and that there is no black hah 
in it; then the priest shall shut up 
him that hath the plague of the scall

32 And in the seventh day the

behold, if the scall be not spread

shall pronounce him clean: and he 
shall wash his clothes, and be

bald head, or in his bald forehead, 
as the leprosy appeareth in the 
skin of the flesh; 

44 He is a leprous man, he is 
unclean: the priest shall pronounce 
him utterly unclean; his plague is 
in his head. 

45 And the leper in whom the 
plague is, his clothes shall be rent, 
and his head bare, and he shall 
put ' a covering upon his upper 
lip, and shall cry, u Unclean, un- 
clean. 

46 All the days wherein the 
plague shall be in him he shall be 
defiled; he is unclean: he shall 
dwell alone; v without the camp 
shall his habitation be. 

47 1[ The w garment also that the 
plague of leprosy is in, whether it 
be a woollen garment, or a linen 
garment, 

48 Whether it be in the warp, or 
woof, of linen, or of woollen, 
whether in a skin, or in any 
6 thing made of skin; 

49 And if the plague be greenish 
or reddish in the garment, or in 
the skin, either in the warp, or in 
the woof, or in any 7 thing of skin; 
it is a plague of leprosy, and shall 
be showed unto the priest. 

50 And x the priest shall look 
upon the plague, and shut up it 
that hath the plague seven days: 

51 And he shall look on the 
plague on the seventh day: if the 
plague be spread in the garment, 
either in the warp, or in the woof, 
or in a skin, or in any work that 
is made of skin; the plague is v a 
fretting leprosy; it is unclean. 

52 He shall therefore burn that 
garment, whether warp or woof, in 
woollen or in linen, or any # thing 
of skin, wherein the plague is : for 
it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be 
burnt in the fire.

53 And if the priest shall look, 
and, behold, the plague he not 
spread in the garment, either in 
the warp, or in the woof, or in any 
thing of skin; 

54 Then the priest shall command 
that they wash the thing wherein 
the plague is, and he shall shut it 
up seven days more: 

55 And the priest shall look on 
the plague, after that it is washed: 
and, behold, if the plague have not 
changed his colour, and the plague 
be not spread; it is unclean; thou 
shalt burn it in the tire; it is fret 
inward, 8 whether it be bare within 
or without. 

56 And if the priest look, and, be- 
hold, the plague be somewhat dark 
after the washing of it; then he 
shall rend it out of the garment, or 
out of the skin, or out of the warp, 
or out of the woof: 

57 And if it appear still in the 
garment, either in the warp, or in 
the woof, or in any thing of skin, 
it is a spreading plague: thou shalt 
burn that wherein the plague is 
with fire. 

58 And the garment, either warp 
or woof, or whatsoever thing of 
skin it be, which thou shalt wash, 
if the plague be departed from 
them, then it shall be washed the 
second time, and shall be clean. 

59 This is the law of the plague of 
leprosy in a garment of woollen or 
linen, either in the warp, or woof, 
or any thing of skins, to pronounce 
it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

for him before the Lord. 

30 And he shall offer the one of

pigeons, such as he can get; 

31 Even such as he is able to get, 
the one for a sin offering, and the 
other for a burnt offering, with the 
meat offering: and the priest shall 
make an atonement for him that 
is to be cleansed before the Lord. 

32 This is the law of him in' whom 
is the plague of leprosy, whose 
hand is not able to get that which 
pertaineth to his cleansing. 

33 ^f And the Lord spake unto 
Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 

34 When a ye be come into the land 
of Canaan, which I give to you for 
a possession, and b I put the plague 
of leprosy in a house of the land of 
your possession; 

35 And he that owneth the house 
shall come and tell the priest, say- 
ing, It seemeth to me there is as it 
were c a plague in the house: 

36 Then the priest shall command 
that they 6 empty the house, before 
the priest go into it to see the 
plague, that d all that is in the 
house be not made unclean; and 
afterward the priest shall go in to 
see the house: 

37 And he shall look on the 
plague: and, behold, if the plague 
be in the walls of the house with 
hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, 
which in sight are lower than the 
wall; 

38 Then the priest shall go out of 
the house to the door of the house, 
and shut up the house seven 
days: 

39 And the priest shall come 
again the seventh day, and shall 
look: and, behold, if the plague be 
spread in the walls of the house; 

40 Then e the priest shall com- 
mand that they take away the 
stones in which the plague is, and 
they shall cast them into an un- 
clean place without the city: 

41 And he shall cause the house 
to be scraped within round about,

and uncleanness. 



and they shall pour out the dust 
that they scrape off without the 
city into an unclean place: 

42 And they shall take other 
stones, and put them in the place 
of those stones; and he shall take 
other mortar, and shall plaster the 
house. 

43 And if the plague come again, 
and break out in the house, after 
that he hath taken away the 
stones, arid after he hath 
scraped the house, and after it is 
plastered; 

44 Then the priest shall come and 
look, and, behold, if the plague be 
spread in the house, it is t a fret- 
ting leprosy in the house: it is un- 
clean. 

45 And he shall break down the 
house, the stones of it, and the 
timber thereof, and all the mortar 
of the house: and he shall carry 
them forth out of the city into an 
unclean place. 

46 Moreover he that goeth into 
the house all the while that it is 
shut up shall be unclean 9 until 
the even. 

47 And he that lieth in the house 
shall wash his clothes; and he that 
eateth in the house shall wash his 
clothes. 

48 And if the priest 7 shall come 
in, and look upon it, and, behold, 
the plague hath not spread in the 
house, after the house was plaster- 
ed ; then the priest shall pronounce 
the house clean, because the plague 
is * healed. 

49 And he shall take to cleanse 
the house two birds, and cedar 
wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 

50 And he shall kill the one of 
the birds in an earthen vessel over 
running water: 

51 And he shall take the cedar 
wood, and the * hyssop, and the 
scarlet, and the living bird, and 
dip them in the blood of the slain 
bird, and in the nmning water, 
and sprinkle the house seven 
times: 

52 And he shall cleanse the house 
with the blood of the bird, and 
with the running water, and with 
the living bird, and with the cedar 
wood, and with the hyssop, and 
with the scarlet: 

53 But he shall let go the living 
bird out of the city into the open 
fields, and make an atonement for 
the house: and it shall be clean.

2 Speak unto the children of 
Israel, and say unto them, a When

3 And this shall be his unclean-

4 Every bed whereon he lieth that

unclean until the even. 

9 And what saddle soever he 
rideth upon that hath the issue

10 And whosoever toucheth any

eth that hath the issue, and hath

13 And when he that hath an 
issue is cleansed of his issue; then 
he 9 shall number to himself seven 
days for his cleansing, and wash 
his clothes, and bathe his flesh in 
running water, and shall be clean. 

14 And on the eighth day he 
shall take to him h two turtle- 
doves, or two young pigeons, and 
come before the Lord unto the 
door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and give them unto 
the priest: 

15 And the priest shall offer

it run beyond the time of her 
separation; all the days of the 
issue of her uncleanness shall be 
as the days of her separation: she 
sltall be unclean. 

26 Every bed whereon she lieth 
all the days of her issue shall be 
unto her as the bed of her separa- 
tion: and whatsoever she sitteth 
upon shall be unclean, as the un 
cleanness of her separation. 

27 And whosoever toucheth those 
things shall be unclean, and shall 
wash his clothes, and bathe himself 
in water, and be unclean until the 
even. 

28 But if she be cleansed of her 
issue, then she shall number to 
herself seven days, and after that 
she shall be clean. 

29 And on the eighth day she 
shall take unto her two turtles, or 
two young pigeons, and bring them 
unto the priest, to the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation. 

30 And the priest shall offer the 
one for a sin offering, and the 
other for a burnt offering; and the 
priest shall make q an atonement 
for her before the Lord for the 
issue of her uncleanness. 

31 Thus shall ye r separate the 
children of Israel from their un- 
cleanness; that they die not in 
then uncleanness, when they s de- 
file my tabernacle that is among 
them. 

32 This is the law of him that 
hath an issue, and of him whose 
seed goeth from him, and is de- 
filed therewith; 

33 And of her that is sick of her 
flowers, and of him that hath an 
issue, of the man, and of tho 
woman, and of him that lieth with 
her that is unclean.

Speak unto Aaron thy brother,

upon the ark, that he die not: for 
I c will appear in the cloud upon

bullock for a sin offering, and a 
ram for a burnt offering. 

4 He shall put on / the holy linen 
coat, and he shall have the linen 
breeches upon his flesh, and shall 
be girded with a linen girdle, and 
with the linen mitre shall he be 
attired: these are 9 holy garments; 
therefore h shall he wash his flesh 
in water, and so put them on. 

5 And he shall take of * the con- 
gregation of the children of Israel 
two kids of the goats for a sin 
offering, and one ram for a burnt 
offering. 

6 And Aaron shall offer his bul- 
lock of the sin offering which is for 
himself, and make S an atonement 
for himself, and for his house. 

7 And he shall take the two 
goats, and present them before the 
Lord at the door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation. 

8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon 
the two goats; one lot for the 
Lord, and the other lot for the 
1 scape-goat. 

9 And Aaron shall bring the 
goat upon which the Lord's h lot 
^fell, and offer him for a sin offer- 
ing: 

10 But the goat, on which the lot 
fell to be the scape-goat, shall be 
presented alive before the Lord, 
to make l an atonement with him. 
and to let him go for a scape-goat 
into the wilderness. 

11 And Aaron shall bring the 
bullock of the sin offering which 
is for himself, and shall make an 
atonement for himself, and for his 
house, and shall kill the bullock 
of the sin offering which is for 
himself: 

12 And he shall take m a censer 
full of burning coals of fire from off 
the altar before the Lord, and his 
hands full of "sweet incense beaten 
small, and bring it within the 
veil: 

13 And ° he shall put the incense 
upon the fire before the Lord, 
that p the cloud of the incense may 
cover the q mercyseat that is upon

14 And r he shall take of the 
blood of the bullock, and sprinkle 
it with his finger upon the mercy- 
seat eastward ; and before the

blood with his finger seven times.

16 And he shall w make an atone-

the uncleanness of the children of 
Israel, and because of their trans- 
gressions in all then sins: and so 
shall he do for the tabernacle of 
the congregation that 3 remaineth 
among them in the midst of their 
uncleanness. 

17 And ° there shall be no man in 
the tabernacle of the congregation 
when he goeth in to make an 
atonement in the holy place, until 
he come out, and have made an 
atonement for himself, and for his 
household, and for all the congre- 
gation of Israel. 

18 And he shall go out unto the 
altar that is before the Lord, and 
make w an atonement for it; and 
shall take of the blood of the 
bullock, and of the blood of the 
goat, and put it upon the horns of 
the altar round about. 

19 And he shall sprinkle of the 
blood upon it with his finger seven 
times, and cleanse it, and x hallow 
it from the uncleanness of the 
children of IsraeL 

20 % And when he hath made 
an end y of reconciling the holy 
place, and the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and the altar, he 
shall bring the five goat: 

21 And Aaron shall lay both his 
hands upon the head of the five 
goat, and confess over him all the 
iniquities of the children of Israel, 
and all their transgressions in all 
their sins, s putting them upon the 
head of the goat, and shall send 
him away by the hand of 4 a fit 
man into the wilderness. 

22 And the goat shall ° bear upon 
him all their iniquities unto a land 
5 not inhabited: and he shall let 
go the goat in the wilderness. 

23 And Aaron shall come into 
the tabernacle of the congregation, 
and b shall put off the linen gar- 
ments which he put on when he 
went into the holy place, and shall 
leave them there : 

24 And he shall wash his flesh 
with water in the holy place, and 
put on his garments, and come 
forth, and offer his burnt offering, 
and the burnt offering of the 
people, and make an atonement 
for himself, and for the people.

25 And c the fat of the sin offer- 
ing shall he burn upon the altar. 

26 And he that let go the goat 
for the scape-goat shall wash his 
clothes, d and bathe his flesh in 
water, and afterward come into 
the camp. 

27 And e the bullock/or the sin 
offering, and the goat for the sin 
offering, whose blood was brought 
in to make atonement in the holy 
place, shall one carry forth without 
the camp; and they shall burn in 
the fire their skins, and their flesh, 
and their dung. 

28 And he that burneth them 
shall wash his clothes, and bathe 
his flesh in water, and afterward 
he shall come into the camp. 

29 ^[ And this shall be a statute 
for ever unto you, that f in the 
seventh month, on the tenth day 
of the month, ye shall afflict your 
souls, and do no work at all, 
whether it be one of your own 
country, or a stranger that so- 
journeth among you: 

30 For on that day shall the priest 
make an atonement for you, to 
cleanse 9 you, that ye may be clean 
from all your sins before the Lord. 

31 It h shall be a sabbath of rest 
unto you, and ye shall afflict your 
souls, by a statute for ever. 

32 And the priest whom he shall 
anoint, and whom he * shall 6 con- 
secrate to minister in the priest's 
office in his father's stead, shall 
make the atonement, and shall 

gut on the linen clothes, even the 
oly garments. 

33 And he shall make an atone- 
ment for the holy sanctuary, and 
he shall make an atonement for 
the tabernacle of the congregation,

make an atonement for the priests,

commanded, saying, 

3 What man soever there be of the 
house of Israel that killeth an ox, 
or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or 
that killeth it out of the camp, 

4 And a bringeth it not unto the 
door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation, to offer an offering unto 
the Lord before the tabernacle of 
the Lord, blood shall be l imputed 
unto that man; he hath shed 
blood; and that man c shall be cut 
off from among his people: 

5 To the end that the children of 
Israel may bring their sacrifices, 
which d they offer in the open field, 
even that they may bring them 
unto the Lord, unto the door of 
the tabernacle of the congregation, 
unto the priest, and offer them 
for peace offerings unto the 
Lord. 

6 And the priest shall sprinkle 
the blood upon the altar of the 
Lord at the door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation, and burn e the 
fat for a sweet savour unto the 
Lord. 

7 And they shall no more offer 
their sacrifices /unto devils, after 
whom they 9 have gone a whoring. 
This shall be a statute for ever 
unto them throughout their gene- 
rations. 

8 And thou shalt say unto them, 
Whatsoever man there be of the 
house of Israel, or of the strangers 
which sojourn among you, that 
offereth a burnt offering or sacri- 
fice, 

9 And bringeth it not unto the 
door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation, to offer it unto the Lord, 
even that man shall be cut off from 
among his people. 

10 % And h whatsoever man there 
be of the house of Israel, or of the 
strangers that sojourn among you, 
that eateth any manner of blood; 
I * will even set my face against 
that soul that eateth blood, and 
will cut him off from among his 
people. 

11 For the life of the flesh is in 
the blood: and I have given it to 
you upon the altar ^ to make an 
atonement for your soiils: for Mt is 
the blood that maketh an atone- 
ment for the soul. 

12 Therefore I said unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, No soul of you shall 
eat blood, neither shall any stranger 
that sojourneth among you eat 
blood.

1 which hunteth and catcheth any 
beast or fowl that may be eaten; 
he shall even l pour out the blood 
thereof, and m cover it with dust. 

14 For n it is the life of all flesh; 
the blood of it is for the life thereof: 
therefore I said unto the children 
of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of 
no manner of flesh: for the life of 
all flesh is the blood thereof: who- 
soever eateth it*shall be cut off. 

15 And ° every soul that eateth 

2 that which died of itself, or that 
which was torn with beasts, whether 
it be one of your own country, or a 
stranger, he shall both wash his 
clothes, and bathe himself in water, 
and be unclean until the even; 
then shall he be clean. 

16 But if he wash them not, nor 
bathe his flesh, then p he shall bear 
his iniquity.

LEVITICUS, XIX. 



26 Ye shall therefore keep my 
statutes and my judgments, and 
shall not commit any of these 
abominations; neither any of your 
own nation, nor any stranger that 
sojourneth among you; 

27 (For all these abominations 
have the men of the land done 
which were before you, and the land 
is defiled;) 

28 That the land spue not you out 
also, when ye defile it, as it spued 
out the nations that were before you. 

29 For whosoever shall commit 
any of these abominations, even 
the souls that commit them shall be 
cut off from among their people. 

30 Therefore shall ye keep mine 
ordinance, that ye commit not any 
one of these abominable customs, 
which were committed before you, 
and that ye defile not yourselves 
therein: I am the Lord your God. 

CHAPTER XIX. 

A repetition of sundry laws. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, 
saying, 

2 Speak unto all the congregation 
of the children of Israel, and say 
unto them, Ye a shall be holy : for 
I the Lord your God am holy. 

3 f Ye shall fear every man his 
mother and his father, and b keep 
my sabbaths: I am the Lord your 
God. 

4 ^f Turn c ye not unto idols, nor 
make to yourselves molten gods: I 
am the Lord your God. 

5 1f And if ye offer a sacrifice of 
peace offerings unto the Lord, ye 
shall offer it at your own will. 

6 It shall be eaten the same day 
ye offer it, and on the morrow: and 
if ought remain until the third 
day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 

7 And if it be eaten at all on the 
third day, it is abominable; it shall 
not be accepted. 

8 Therefore every one that eateth 
it shall bear his iniquity, because 
he hath profaned the hallowed 
thing of the Lord; and that soul 
shall be cut off from among his 
people. 

9 1[ And d when ye reap the har- 
vest of your land, thou shalt not 
wholly reap the comers of thy field, 
neither shalt thou gather the 
gleanings of thy harvest.

of the sale thereof, and restore the 
overplus unto the man to whom he 
sold it, that he may return unto 
his possession. 

28 But if he be not able to restore 
it to him, then that which is sold 
shall remain in the hand of him 
that hath bought it until the year 
of jubilee: and in the jubilee it 
shall go out, and he shall return 
unto his possession. 

29 And if a man sell a dwelling 
house in a walled city, then he 
may redeem it within a whole 
year after it is sold; within a full 
year may he redeem it. 

*30 And if it be not redeemed 
within the space of a full year, then 
the house that is in the walled city 
shall be established for ever to him 
that bought it, throughout his 
generations: it shall not go out in 
the jubilee. 

31 But the houses of the villages 
which have no wall round about 
them shall be counted as the fields 
of the country : 6 they may be 
redeemed, and they shall go out in

32 Notwithstanding r the cities of

cities of their possession, may the 
Levites redeem at any time. 

33 And if 7 a man purchase of the 
Levites, then the house that was 
sold, and the city of his possession, 
shall go out in the year of jubilee: 
for the houses of the cities of the 
Levites are their possession among 
the children of Israel.

it is their perpetual possession.

CHAPTER XXVH. 

I Concerning vows. 26 Of the Lord's first- 
lings. 28 'No devoted thing may be re- 
deemed. 30 The tithe may not be 
changed. 

AND the Loed spake unto Moses, 
saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of 
Israel, and say unto them, a When 
a man shall make a singular vow, 
the person shall be for the Loed by 
thy estimation. 

3 And thy estimation shall be of 
the male from twenty years old 
even unto sixty years old, even thy 
estimation shall be fifty shekels 
of silver, after h the shekel of the 
sanctuary. 

4 And if it be a female, then thy 
estimation shall be thirty shekels. 

5 And if it be from five years old 
even unto twenty years old, then 
thy estimation shall be of the male 
twenty shekels, and for the female 
ten shekels. 

6 And if it be from a month old 
even unto five years old, then thy 
estimation shall be of the male five 
shekels of silver, and for the female 
thy estimation shall be three shekels 
of silver. 

7 And if it be from sixty years old 
and above; if it be a male, then 
thy estimation shall be fifteen 
shekels, and for the female ten 
shekels. 

8 But c if he be poorer than thy 
estimation, then he shall present 
himself before the priest, and the 
priest shall value him; according 
to his ability that vowed shall the 
priest value him. 

9 And if it be a beast, whereof 
men bring an offering unto the 
Loed, all that any man giveth of 
such unto the Loed x shall be 
holy. 

_ 10 He shall not alter it, nor change 
it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a 
good: and if he shall at all change 
beast for beast, then it and the 
exchange thereof shall be holy. 

II And if it be any unclean beast, 
of which they do not offer a 
sacrifice unto the Loed, then he 
shall present the beast before the 
priest: 

12 And the priest shall value it, 
whether it be good or bad: 2 as thou 
valuest it, who art the priest, so shall 
it be.

which is not of the fields of his pos- 
session; 

23 Then the priest shall reckon 
unto bim the worth of thy esti- 
mation, even unto the year of the

estimation in that day, as a holy 
thing unto the Loed. 

24 In A the year of the jubilee the 
field shall return unto him of whom 
it was bought, even to him to whom

Levites over the tabernacle of 
testimony, and over all the vessels 
thereof, and over all things that 
belong to it: they shall bear the 
tabernacle, and all the vessels 
thereof; and they shall minister 
unto it, v and shall encamp round 
about the tabernacle. 

51 And * when the tabernacle 
setteth forward, the Levites shall 
take it down; and when the tab- 
ernacle is to be pitched, the 
Levites shall set it up: and 3 the 
stranger that cometh nigh shall 
be put to death. 

52 And the children of Israel 
shall pitch their tents, y every man 
by his own camp, and every man 
by his own standard, throughout 
their hosts. 

53 But the Levites shall pitch 
round about the tabernacle of 
testimony, that there be z no wTath

dren of Israel: "and the Levites 
shall keep the charge of the taber-

CHAPTER ILL 

1 The Levites' service. 40 The Jirst-born 
freed by the Levites. 44 The overplus 
redeemed. 

THESE also are the generations 
of Aaron and Moses, in the 
day that the Lord spake with 
Moses in mount Sinai. 

2 And these are the names of 
the sons of Aaron; Nadab a the 
first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and 
Ithamar. 

3 These are the names of the 
sons of Aaron, b the priests which 
were anointed, x whom he conse- 
crated to minister in the priest's 
office. 

4 And c Nadab and Abihu died 
before the Lord, when they offered 
strange fire before the Lord, in the 
wilderness of Sinai, and they had 
no children: and Eleazar and 
Ithamar ministered in the priest's 
office in the sight of Aaron their 
father. 

5 ^ And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

6 Bring d the tribe of Levi near, 
and present them before Aaron 
the priest, that they may minister 
unto him. 

7 And they shall keep his charge, 
and the charge of the whole con- 
gregation before the tabernacle of 
the congregation, to do the e ser- 
vice of the tabernacle. 

8 And they shall keep all the 
instruments of the tabernacle of 
the congregation, and the charge 
of the children of Israel, to do the 
service of the tabernacle. 

9 And f thou shalt give the

Levites unto Aaron and to his 
sons: they are wholly given unto 
him out of the children of Israel. 

10 And thoushalt appoint Aaron 
and his sons, 9 and they shall wait 
on their priest's office: and h the 
stranger that cometh nigh shall be 
put to death. 

11 % And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

12 And I, behold, * I have taken 
the Levites from among the chil- 
dren of Israel instead of all the 
first-born that openeth the matrix 
among the children of Israel: 
therefore the Levites shall be 
mine; 

13 Because 3 all the first-born are 
mine: for *on the day that I smote 
all the first-born in the land of 
Egypt I hallowed unto me all the 
first-born in Israel, both man and 
beast; mine they shall be: I am the 
Lord. 

14 % And the Lord spake unto 
Moses in the wilderness of * Sinai,

wife unto the priest, and he shall 
bring her m offering for her, the 
tenth part of an ephah of barley 
meal; he shall pour no oil upon it. 
nor put frankincense thereon ; for

Loud: 

17 And the priest shall take holy

saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of Is- 
rael, and say unto them, When 
either man or woman shall 
1 separate themselves to vow a vow 
of a Nazarite, to separate themselves 
unto the Lord; 

3 He a shall separate himself from 
wine and strong drink, and shall 
drink no vinegar of wine, or vine- 
gar of strong drink, neither shall 
he drink any liquor of grapes, nor 
eat moist grapes, or dried.

even to the husk. 

5 All the days of the vow of his 
separation there shall no h razor 
come upon his head; until the days 
he fulfilled, in the which he 
separateth himself unto the Lord, 
he shall be holy, and shall let the 
locks of the hair of his head grow. 

6 All the days that he separateth 
himself unto the Lord c he shall 
come at no dead hody. 

7 He d shall not make himself 
unclean for his father, or for his 
mother, for his brother, or for his 
sister, when they die; because the 
4 consecration of his God is upon 
his head. 

8 All the days of his separation 
he is holy unto the Lord. 

9 And if any man die very sud- 
denly by him, and he hath defiled 
the head of his consecration; then 
he 6 shall shave his head in the day 
of his cleansing, on the seventh day 
shall he shave it. 

10 And /on the eighth day he 
shall bring two turtles, or two 
young pigeons, to the priest, to the 
door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation: 

11 And the priest shall offer the 
one for a sin offering, and the 
other for a burnt offering, and 
make an atonement for him, for 
that he sinned by the dead, and 
shall hallow his head that same 
day. 

12 And he shall consecrate unto 
the Lord the days of Ins separation, 
and shall bring a lamb of the first 
year for a trespass offering: but the 
days that were before shall 5 be 
lost, because his separation was 
defiled. 

13 f And this is the law of the 
Nazarite, when ? the days of his 
separation are fulfilled: he shall be 
brought unto the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation; 

14 And he shall offer his offering 
unto the Lord, one he-lamb of the 
first year without blemish for a 
burnt offering, and one ewe lamb 
of the first year without blemish

were the princes of the tribes, * and 
were over them that were num- 
bered, 6 offered: 

3 And they brought their offering 
before the Lord, six covered wag- 
ons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for 
two of the princes, and for each 
one an ox: and they brought them 
before the tabernacle. 

4 And the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses, saying, 

5 Take it of them, that they may 
be to do the service of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation; and 
thou shalt give them unto the Le- 
vites, to every man according to 
his service. 

6 And Moses took the wagons and 
the oxen, and gave them unto the 
Levites. 

7 Two wagons and four oxen he 
gave unto the sons of Gershon, ac- 
cording to their service: 

8 And four wagons and eight ox- 
en he gave unto the sons of Merari, 
according unto then service, under 
the hand of Ithamar the son of 
Aaron the priest. 

9 But unto the sons of Kohath 
he gave none; because the service 
of the sanctuary belonging unto 
them c was that they should bear 
apon their shoulders. 

10 ^T And the princes offered d for 
dedicating of the altar in the day 
that it was anointed, even the 
princes offered their offering before 
the altar. 

11 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
They shall offer their offering, 
each prince * on his day, for the 
dedicating of the altar.

fering the first day was Nahshon

3 And Aaron did so; he lighted

4 And b this work of the candle-

9 And A thou shalt bring the

11 And Aaron shall 3 offer the

4 offering of the children of Israel, 
that 5 they may execute the ser-

12 And * the Levites shall lay

one for a sin offering, and the other 
for a burnt offering, unto the Lord,

Israel; q that there be no plague

unto the sanctuary. 

20 And Moses, and Aaron, and 
all the congregation of the chil- 
dren of Israel, did to the Levites 
according unto all that the Lord 
commanded Moses concerning the 
Levites, so did the children of 
Israel unto them. 

21 And the Levites were purified, 
and they washed their clothes; 
and r Aaron offered them as an 
offering before the Lord; and 
Aaron made an atonement for 
them to cleanse them. 

22 And * after that went the 
Levites in to do their service in 
the tabernacle of the congregation 
before Aaron, and before his sons: 
as the Lord had commanded 
Moses concerning the Levites, so 
did they unto them. 

23 % And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

24 This is it that lelongeth unto 
the * Levites : from twenty and 
five years old and upward they 
shall go in 7 to wait upon the 
service of the tabernacle of the 
congregation: 

25 And from the age of fifty years 
they shall 8 cease waiting upon the 
service thereof, and shall serve no 
more; 

26 But shall minister with their 
brethren in the tabernacle of the 
congregation, w to keep the charge, 
and shall do no service. Thus 
shalt thou do unto the Levites 
touching their charge. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 The passover enjoined. 9 A second 
passover allowed. 15 A cloud guidetk 
the Israelites. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses 
in the wilderness of Sinai, in 
the first month of the second year 
after they were come out of the 
land of Egypt, saying, 

2 Let the children of Israel also 
keep a the passover at his ap- 
pointed season. 

3 In the fourteenth day of this 
month, x at even, ye shall keep it 
in his appointed season: according 
to all the rites of it, and according 
to all the ceremonies thereof, shall 
ye keep it. 

And Moses spake unto the 
children of Israel, that they should 
keep the passover. 
5 And 6 they kept the passover

on the fourteenth day of the first 
month at even in the wilderness 
of Sinai: according to all that the 
Lord commanded Moses, so did 
the children of Israel. 

6 If And there were certain men, 
who were c denied by the dead 
body of a man, that they could 
not keep the passover on that day: 
and d they came before Moses and 
before Aaron on that day: 

7 And those men said unto him 
We are defiled by the dead body 
of a man: wherefore are we kept 
back, that we may e not offer an 
offering of the Lord in his ap- 
pointed season among the children 
of Israel? 

8 And Moses said unto them, 
Stand still and /I will hear what 
the Lord will command concern- 
ing you. 

9 }\ And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

10 Speak unto the children of 
Israel, saying, If any man of you 
or of your posterity shall be un- 
clean by reason of a dead body, or 
be in a journey afar off, yet he 
shall keep the passover unto the 
Lord. 

11 The g fourteenth day of the 
second month at even they shall 
keep it, and A eat it with unleavened 
bread and bitter herbs. 

12 They * shall leave none of it 
unto the morning, t nor break any 
bone of it: * according to all the 
ordinances of the passover they 
shall keep it. 

13 But the man that is clean, 
and is not in a journey, and for- 
beareth to keep the passover, even 
the same soul l shall be cut off 
from among his people: because 
he brought not the offering of the 
Lord in his appointed season, that 
man shall m bear his sin. 

14 And if a stranger shall so- 
journ among you, and will keep 
the passover unto the Lord; ac- 
cording to the ordinance of the 
passover, and according to the 
manner thereof, so shall he do: 
ye n shall have one ordinance, both 
for the 2 stranger, and for him 
that was born in the land. 

15 ^ And on the day that the 
tabernacle was reared up, the 
cloud covered the tabernacle, 
namely, the tent of the testimony: 
and * at even there was upon the 
tabernacle as it were the appear- 
ance of fire, until the morning.

was a few days upon the taber- 
nacle; according to the command- 
ment of the Lord they abode in 
their tents, and according to the 
commandment of the Lord * they 
journeyed. 

21 And so it was, when the 
cloud 4 abode ' from even unto the 
morning, and that the cloud was 
taken up in the morning, then 
they journeyed: whether it was by 
day or by night that the cloud 
was taken up, they journeyed. 

22 Or whether it were two days, or 
a month, or a year, that the cloud 
tarried upon the tabernacle, re- 
maining thereon, the children of 
Israel abode in their tents, and 
journeyed not: u but when it was 
taken up, they journeyed. 

23 At the commandment of the 
Lord they rested in their tents, 
and v at the commandment of the 
Lord they journeyed: they kept 
the charge of the Lord, at the 
commandment of the Lord by the

trumpet, then the princes, which 
are d heads of the thousands of 
Israel, shall gather themselves unto 
thee. 

5 When ye blow an alarm, then 
the e camps that lie on the east 
parts shall go forward. 

6 When ye blow an alarm the 
second time, then the camps that 
lie on the south side shall take 
their journey: they shall blow an 
alarm for their journeys. 

7 But when the congregation is 
to be gathered together, ye shall 
blow, but ye shall not •''sound an 
alarm. 

8 And 9 the sons of Aaron, the 
priests, shall blow with the trum- 
pets: and they shall be to you for 
an ordinance for ever throughout 
your generations. 

9 And if ye go to war in your land 
against the enemy that h oppresseth 
you, then ye shall blow an alarm 
with the trumpets; and ye shall 
be * remembered before the Lord 
your God, and ye shall be saved 
from your enemies. 

3 Also i in the day of your glad- 
ness, and in your solemn days, and 
in the beginnings of your months, 
ye shall blow with the trumpets 
over your burnt offerings, and over 
the sacrifices of your peace offer- 
ings; that they may be to you *for 
a memorial before your God: I am

11 ^[ And it came to pass on the 
twentieth day of the second month, 
in the second year, that the cloud 
was ' taken up from off the taber- 
nacle of the testimony. 

12 And the children of Israel 
took m their journeys out of the 
wilderness n of Sinai ; and the 
cloud rested in the ° wilderness of

ney p according to the command-

31 And he said, Leave us not, I 
pray thee ; forasmuch as thou 
knowest how we are to encamp in 
the wilderness, and thou mayest be 
to us y instead of eyes. 

32 And it shall be, if thou go with

same will we do unto thee.

them in the three days' journey, to 
search out a resting place for 
them. 

34 And h the cloud of the Lord 
was upon them by day, when they 
went out of the camp. 

35 And it came to pass, when the 
ark set forward, that Moses said, 
Eise c up, Lord, and let thine ene- 
mies be scattered; and let them 
that hate thee flee before thee.

AND a when the people l com- 
plained, 2 it displeased the 
Lord: and the Lord heard it; and 
his anger was kindled ; and the 
fire 6 of the Lord burnt among 
them, and consumed them that 
were in the uttermost parts of the 
camp. 

2 And the people cried unto 
Moses; and when Moses c prayed 
unto the Lord, the fire 3 was 
quenched. 

3 And he called the name of the 
place 4 Taberah : because the fire 
of the Lord burnt among them. 

4 % And the d mixed multitude 
that was among them 5 fell a lust- 
ing: and the children of Israel also 
6 wept again, and said, Who c shall 
give us flesh to eat? 

5 We /remember the fish which 
we did eat in Egypt freely; the 
cucumbers, and the melons, and 
the leeks, and the onions, and the 
garlick: 

6 But now our soul is dried away: 
there is nothing at all, besides this 
manna, before our eyes. 

7 And the manna was as coriander 
seed, and the 7 colour thereof as the 
colour 9 of bdellium. 

8 And the people went about, and 
gathered it, and ground it in mills, 
or beat it in a mortar, and baked 
it in pans, and made cakes of it: 
and the taste of it was as the taste 
of fresh oil. 

9 And when the dew fell upon the 
camp in the night, the manna fell 
upon it 

10 K Then Moses heard the people 
weep throughout their families, 
every man in the door of his tent:

and the anger of the Lord was 
kindled greatly ; Moses also was 
displeased. 

11 And h Moses said unto the 
Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted 
thy servant? and wherefore have 
I not found favour in thy sight, 
that thou layest the burden of aD 
this people upon me? 

12 Have I conceived all this peo- 
ple ? have I begotten them, that thou 
shouldest say unto me, * Carry them 
in thy bosom, as a nursing i father 
beareth the sucking child, unto the 
land which thou *swarest unto 
their fathers? 

13 Whence l should 1 have flesh to 
give unto all this people? for they 
weep unto me, saying, Give us fiesb, 
that we may eat. 

14 I m am not able to bear all this 
people alone, because it is too heavy 
for me. 

15 And if thou deal thus with me, 
kill n me, I pray thee, out of hand, 
if I have found favour in thy sight; 
and let me not see ° my wretched- 
ness. 

16 \ And the Lord said unto 
Moses, Gather unto me * seventy 
men of the elders of Israel, whom 
thou knowest to be the elders of 
the people, and officers over them: 
and bring them unto the taberna- 
cle of the congregation, that they 
may stand there with thee. 

17 And I wUl q come down and 
talk with thee there: and r I will 
take of the spirit which is upon 
thee, and will put it upon them; 
and they shall bear the burden of 
the people with thee, that thou 
bear it not thyself alone. 

18 And say thou unto the people, 
Sanctify* yourselves against to- 
morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for 
ye have wept * in the ears of the 
Lord, saying, Who shall give us 
flesh to eat? for M it was well with 
us in Egypt: therefore the Lord 
will give you flesh, and ye shall 
eat. 

19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor 
two days, nor five days, neither ten 
days, nor twenty days; 

20 But even a b whole month, un- 
til it come out at your nostrils, and 
it be loathsome unto you: because 
that ye have despised the Lord 
which is among you, and have 
wept before him, saying, Why came 
we forth out of Egypt? 

21 And Moses said, The people, 
among whom I am, are six hundred I 
thousand footmen; and thou hast

said, I will give thera flesh, that 
they may eat a whole month. 

22 Shall " the flocks and the herds 
be slain for them, to suffice them? 
or shall all the fish of the sea he 
gathered together for them, to suf- 
fice them? 

23 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Is w the Lord's hand waxed short? 
thou shalt see now whether *my 
word shall come to pass unto thee 
or not. 

24 ^| And Moses went out, and 
told the people the words of the 
Lord, and gathered the seventy 
men of the elders of the people, 
and set themroimd about the tab- 
ernacle. 

25 And the Lord y came down in 
a cloud, and spake unto him, and 
took of the spirit that was upon 
him, and gave it unto the seventy 
elders: and it came to pass, z that, 
when the spirit rested upon them, 
they ° prophesied, and did not 
cease. 

26 But there remained two of the 
men in the camp, the name of the 
one was Eldad, and the name of the 
other Medad: and the spirit rested 
upon them; and they were of them 
that were written, but 6 went not 
out unto the tabernacle: and they 
prophesied in the camp. 

27 And there ran a young man, 
and told Moses, and said, Eldad 
and Medad do prophesy in the 
camp. 

28 And Joshua the son of Nun, 
the servant of Moses, one of his 
young men, answered and said, My 
lord Moses, c forbid them. 

29 And Moses said unto him, En- 
viest thou for my sake? d Would 
God that all the Lord's people were 
prophets, and that the Lord would 
put his Spirit upon them! 

30 And Moses gat him into the 
camp, he and the elders of Israel. 

31 % And there went forth a e wind 
from the Lord, and brought quails 
from the sea, and let them fall by 
the camp, as it were 9 a day's 
journey on this side, and as it were 
a day's journey on the other side, 
round about the camp, and as it 
were two cubits high upon the face 
of the earth. 

32 And the people stood up all 
that day, and all that night, and 
all the next day, and they gathered 
the quails: he that gathered least 
gathered ten /homers: and they 
spread them all abroad for theni* 
selves round about the camp.

1 Miriam's and Aaron's sedition. 10 Her 
leprosy; Moses prayeth for Iter. 14 She 
is shut out of the camp seven days. 

AND Miriam and Aaron spake 
against Moses because of the 

I Ethiopian woman whom he had 
married: for a he had 2 married an 
Ethiopian woman. 

2 And they said, Hath the Lord 
indeed spoken only by Moses? 6 hath 
he not spoken also by us? And the 
Lord c heard it. 

3 (Now the man Moses was d very 
meek, above all the men which 
were upon the face of the earth.) 

4 And e the Lord spake suddenly 
unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and 
unto Miriam, Come out ye three 
unto the tabernacle of the congre- 
gation. And they three came out 

5 And / the Lord came down in 
the pillar of the cloud, and stood in 
the door of the tabernacle, and 
called Aaron and Miriam: and they 
both came forth. 

6 And he said, Hear now my 
words: If there be a prophet among 
you, / the Lord will make myself 
known unto him g in a vision, and 
will speak unto him ft in a_dream. 

7 My * servant Moses is not so,

to mouth, even ' apparently, and 
not in dark speeches; and "'the 
similitude of the Lord shall he be- 
hold: wherefore then n were ye not 
afraid to speak against my servant 
Moses ? 

9 And the anger of the Lord was 
kindled against them; and he de- 
parted. 

10 And the cloud departed from 
off the tabernacle; and, ° behold, 
Miriam became * leprous, white as 
snow: and Aaron looked upon 
Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

I The names of the men who were sent to 
search the land: 17 their instructions: 
21 their acts: 26 and their relation. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, 
saying, 

2 Send a thou men, that they may 
search the land of Canaan, which 
I give unto the children of Israel: 
of every tribe of their fathers shall 
ye send a man, every one a ruler 
among them. 

3 And Moses by the command- 
ment of the Lord sent them from 
the wilderness of Paran: all those 
men were heads of the children cf 
IsraeL 

4 And these were their names: of 
the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the 
son of Zaccur. 

5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat 
the son of Hori. 

6 Of the tribe of Judah, 6 Caleb 
the son of Jephunneh. 

7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the 
son of Joseph.

12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel j 
the son of Gemalli. 

13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur !

16 These are the names of the 
men which Moses sent to spy out 
the land. And Moses called e Oshea 
the son of Nun, l Jehoshua. 

17 ^" And Moses sent them to spy 
out the land of Canaan, and said 

| unto them, Get you up this way 
j 2 southward, and go up into d the 
j mountain; 

18 And see the land, what it is; 
and the people that dwelleth there- 
in, whether they be strong or weak, 
few or many; 

1 9 And what the land is that they 
dwell in, whether it be good or bad; 
and what cities they be that they 
dwell in, whether in tents, or in 
strong holds; 

m 20 And what the land is, whether 
it be fat e or lean, whether there be 
wood therein, or not: and t be ye 
of good courage, and bring of the 
fruit of the land. Now the time 
j was the time of the first - ripe 
grapes. 

21 So they went up, and searched 
j the land from the wilderness of 
j Zin unto Rehob, as men come to 

Hamath. 

22 And they ascended by the 
south, and came unto Hebron; 
where 9 Ahiman, Sheshai, and 
Talmai, the children of Anak, 
were. (Now Hebron was built seven 

I years h before Zoan in Egypt) 

23 And they came unto the 
j 3 brook of Eshcol, and cut down 
j from thence a branch with one 
| cluster of grapes, and they bare it 

between two upon a staff; and 
they brought of the pomegranates, 
and of the figs. 

24 The place was called the i brook 
5 Eshcol, because of the cluster of 
grapes which the children of Israel 
cut down from thence. 

25 And they returned from search- 
ing of the land after forty days. 

26 % And they went and came 
to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all 
the congregation of the children 
of Israel, unto the wilderness of 
Paran, to Kadesh ; and brought 
back word unto them, and unto 
all the congregation, and showed 
them the fruit of the land. 

27 And they told him, and said, 
We came unto the land whither 
thou sentest us, and surely it flow- 
eth with » milk and honey ; and

29 The * Amalekites dwell in the 
land of the south; and the Hittites, 
and the Jehusites, and the Amor- 
ites, dwell in the monntains ; and 
the Canaanites dwell by the sea,

30 And m Caleb stilled the people 
before Moses, and said, Let us go 
up at once, and possess it ; for we 
are well able to overcome it. 

31 But the men that went up with 
him said, We be not able to go up 
against the people ; for they are 
stronger than we. 

32 And they n brought up an evil 
report of the land which they had 
searched unto the children of Israel, 
saying, The land, through which 
we have gone to search it, is aland 
that 6 eateth up the inhabitants 
thereof; and ° all the people that 
we saw in it are 7 men of a great 
stature. 

33 And there we saw the p giants, 
the sons of Anak, which come of the 
giants: and we were in our own 
sight q as grasshoppers, and so we 
were in their sight.

1 The people murmur at the spies' report. 
11 God threatened them. 13 Moses in-

AND all the congregation lifted 
up their voice, and cried ; and 
the people wept that night. 

2 And a all the children of Israel 
murmured against Moses and 
against Aaron : and the whole 
congregation said unto them, 
Would God b that we had died in 
the land of Egypt ! or would God 
we had died in this wilderness ! 

3 And wherefore hath the Lord 
brought us unto this land, to fall 
by the sword, that our wives and 
our children should be a prey ? 
Were it not better for us to return 
into Egypt ? 

4 And they said one to another, 
Let c us make a captain, and let us 
return into Egypt. 

5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on 
their faces before all the assembly 
of the congregation of the children 
of IsraeL 

6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and 
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which

they w believe me, for all the signs 
which I have showed amongthem? 

12 I will smite them with the 
pestilence, and disinherit them, 
and n will make of thee a greater 
nation and mightier than they. 

13 And ° Moses said unto the 
Lord, Then the Egyptians shall 
hear it, (for thou broughtest up this 
people in thy might from among 
them ;) 

14 And they will tell it to the 
inhabitants of this land : p for they 
have heard that thou, Lord, art 
among this people ; that thou, 
Lord, art seen face to face; and 
that thy s cloud standeth over 
them; and that thou goest before 
them, by day time in a pillar of a 
cloud, and in a pillar of fire by 
night. 

15 Now, if thou shalt kill all this 
people as one man, then the nations 
which have heard the fame of thee 
will speak, saying, 

16 Because the Lord was not r able 
to bring this people into the land 
which he sware unto them, there- 
fore he hath slain them in the 
wilderness. 

17 And now, I beseech thee, let 
the power of my Lord be great, 
according as thou hast spoken, 
saying, 

18 The Lord is s long-suffering, 
and of great mercy, forgiving 
iniquity and transgression, and by 
no means clearing the guilty; { visit- 
ing the iniquity of the fathers upon 
the children unto the third and 
fourth generation. 

19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the 
iniquity of this people according 
unto the greatness of thy mercy,

and as thou hast forgiven this 
people, from Egypt even 2 until 
now. 

20 And the Lord said, I w have 
pardoned, according to thy word: 

21 But as truly as I live, v all the 
earth shall be filled with the glory 
of the Lord. 

22 Because w all those men which 
have seen my glory, and my mir- 
acles which I did in Egypt and in 
the wilderness, have tempted me 
now x these ten times, and have 
not hearkened to my voice ; 

23 3 Surely y they shall not see the 
land which I sware unto their 
fathers, neither shall any of them 
that provoked me see it: 

24 But my servant Caleb, because 
he had another spirit with him, 
and hath followed me fully, him 
will I bring into the land where- 
unto he went ; and z his seed shall 
possess it. 

25 (Now the Amalekites and the 
Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) 
To-morrow turn you, and get you 
into the wilderness by the way of 
the Bed sea. 

26 \ And the Lord spake unto 
Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 

27 How a long shall I bear with this 
evil congregation, which murmur 
against me ? I b have heard the 
murmurings of the children of 
Israel, which they murmur against 
me. 

28 Say unto them, c As truly as I 
live, saith the Lord, as ye have 
spoken in mine ears, so will I do 
to you: 

29 Your carcases shall fall in this 
wilderness ; and d all that were 
numbered of you, according to 
your whole number, ifrom twenty 
years old and upward, which have 
murmured against me, 

30 Doubtless ye shall not come 
into the land concerning which I 
* sware to make you dwell therein, 
save e Caleb the son of Jephunneh, 
and Joshua the son of Nun. 

31 But your little ones, which ye 
said should be a prey, them will I 
bring in, and they shall know the 
land which/ ye have despised. 

32 But as for you, g your carcases, 
they shall fall in this wilderness. 

33 And your children shall 5 wan- 
der A in the wilderness * forty years,

35 I m the Lord have said, I will

together against me : in this 
wilderness they shall be consumed, 
and there they shall die. 

36 And n the men which Moses 
sent to search the land, who 
returned, and made all the con- 
gregation to murmur against him,

land,

and Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

search the land, lived still. 

39 And Moses told these sayings 
unto all the children of Israel: 
and q the people mourned greatly. 

40 And they rose up early in the 
morning, and gat them up into the 
top of the mountain, saying, Lo, 
we r be here, and will go up unto the 
place which the Lord hath pro- 
mised : for we have sinned. 

41 And Moses said, "Wherefore 
now do ye transgress s the com- 
mandment of ( the Lord ? but it 
shall not prosper. 

42 Go u not up, for the Lord is 
not among you; that ye be not 
smitten before your enemies. 

43 For the Amalekites and the 
Canaanites are there before you, 
and ye shall fall by the sword: 
because " ye are turned away from 
the Lord, therefore the Lord will 
not be with you. 

44 But they presumed to go up 
unto the hill-top : nevertheless the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
and Moses, departed not out of the 
camp. 

45 Then the Amalekites came 
down, and the Canaanites which 
dwelt in that hilL and smote them,

3 And c they gathered themselves 
together against Moses and against 
Aaron, and said unto them, l Ye 
take too much upon you, seeing d all 
the congregation are holy, every 
one of them, e and the Lord is 
among them : wherefore then lift 
ye up yourselves above the congre- 
gation of the Lord ? 

4 And when Moses heard it, t he 
fell upon his face : 

5 And he spake unto Korah, and 
unto all his company, saying, Even 
to-morrow the Lord will show 
who 9 are his, and who is a holy ; 
and will cause him to come near 
unto him : even him whom he 
hath * chosen will he cause to 
come^ near unto him. 

6 This do : Take you censers, 
Korah, and all his company ; 

7 And put fire therein, and put 
incense m them before the Lord 
to-morrow: and it shall be that the 
man whom the Lord doth choose, 
he shall be holy : ye take too much 
upon you, ye sons of Levi. 

8 And Moses said unto Korah, 
Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: 

9 Seemeth it but * a small thing 
unto you, that the God of Israel 
hath l separated you from the 
congregation of Israel, to bring 
you near to himself, to do the ser- 
vice of the tabernacle of the Lord, 
and to stand before the congrega- 
tion to minister unto them ? 

10 And he hath brought thee near 
to him, and all thy brethren the 
sons of Levi with thee: and seek 
ye the priesthood also? 

11 For which cause both thou 
and all thy company are gathered 
together against the Lord : m and 
what is Aaron, that ye murmur 
against him ? 

12 <§ And Moses sent to call 
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of 
Eliab: which said, We will not 
come up: 

13 Is it a small thing that thou 
hast brought us up out of a land 
that fioweth with milk and honey, 
to kill us in the wilderness, except 
thou w make thyself altogether a 
prince over us ? 

14 Moreover thou hast not brought

us into a ° land that floweth with 
milk and honey, or given us inher- 
itance of fields and vineyards: 
wilt thou 2 put out the eyes of 
these men? we will not come up. 

15 And Moses was very wroth, 
and said unto the Lord, p Respect 
not thou their offering: q I have 
not taken one ass from them, 
neither have I hurt one of them. 

16 And Moses said unto Korah, 
Be thou and all thy company 
before the Lord, thou, and they, 
and Aaron, to-morrow: 

17 And take every man his censer, 
and put incense in them, and 
bring ye before the Lord every 
man his censer, two hundred and 
fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, 
each of you his censer. 

18 And they took every man his 
censer, and put fire in them, and 
laid incense thereon, and stood in 
the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation with Moses and 
Aaron. 

19 And Korah gathered all the 
congregation against them unto 
the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation: and r the glory of 
the Lord appeared unto all the 
congregation. 

20 And the Lord spake unto 
Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 

21 Separate * yourselves from 
among this congregation, that I 
may ' consume them in a moment. 

22 And they fell upon their faces, 
and said, God, M the God of the 
spirits of all flesh, shall " one man 
sin, and wilt thou be wroth with 
all the congregation? 

23 ^ And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

24 Speak unto the congregation, 
saying, Get you up from about the 
tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and 
Abiram. 

25 And Moses rose up, and went 
unto Dathan and Abiram; and 
the elders of Israel followed him. 

26 And he spake unto the con- 
gregation, saying, w Depart, I pray 
you, from the tents of these wicked 
men, and touch nothing of theirs, 
lest ye be consumed in all their 
sins. 

27 So they gat up from the taber- 
nacle of Korah, Dathan, and 
Abiram, on every side : and 
Dathan and Abiram came out, 
and stood * in the door of their 
tents, and their wives, and their 
sons, and then little children.

shall know that the Lord hath 
sent me to do all these works ; for 
I have not done them z of mine own 
mind; 

29 If these men die 3 the common 
death of all men, or if they be 
visited a after the visitation of all 
men; then the Lord hath not sent 
me : 

30 But if the Lord 4 make b a 
new thing, and the earth open her 
mouth, and swallow them up, with 
all that appertain unto them, and 
they c go down quick into the pit; 
then ye shall understand that these 
men have provoked the Lord. 

31 ^ And d it came to pass, as he 
had made an end of speaking all 
these words, that the ground clave 
asunder that was under them: 

32 And the earth opened her 
mouth, and swallowed them up, 
and their houses, and all "the men 
that appertained unto Korah, and 
all their goods. 

33 They, and all that appertained 
to them, went down alive into the 
pit, and the earth closed upon 
them: and they perished from 
among the congregation. 

34 And all Israel that were round 
about them fled at the cry of them: 
for they said, Lest the earth swal- 
low us up also. 

35 And there / came out a fire 
from the Lord, and consumed the 
two hundred and fifty men that 
offered incense. 

36 % And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of 
Aaron the priest, that he take up 
the censers out of the burning, and 
scatter thou the fire yonder; for 
they are hallowed. 

38 The censers of these 9 sinners 
against their own souls, let them 
make them broad plates for a 
covering of the altar ; for they 
offered them before the Lord, 
therefore they are hallowed: h and 
they shall be a sign unto the chil- 
dren of Israel 

39 And Eleazar the priest took 
the brasen censers, wherewith they 
that were burnt had offered; and 
they were made broad plates for a 
covering of the altar: 

40 To be a memorial unto the 
children of Israel, i that no stranger, 
which is not of the seed of Aaron, 
come near to offer incense before 
the Lord; that he be not as Korah, 
and as his company : as the Lord 
said to him by the hand of Moses.

41 ^f But on the morrow i all the 
congregation of the children of 
Israel murmured against Moses 
and against Aaron, saying, Ye 
have killed the people of the Lord. 

42 And it came to pass, when the 
congregation was gathered against 
Moses and against Aaron, that they 
looked toward the tabernacle of 
the congregation ; and, behold, 
the * cloud covered it, and the 
glory of the Lord appeared. 

43 And Moses and Aaron came 
before the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation. 

44 And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

45 Get you up from among this 
congregation, that I may consume 
them as in a moment. And l they 
fell upon their faces. 

46 And Moses said unto Aaron, 
Take a censer, and put fire therein 
from off the altar, and put on 
incense, and go quickly unto the 
congregation, and make an atone- 
ment for them: m for there is wrath 
gone out from the Lord; the plague 
is begun. 

47 And Aaron took as Moses com- 
manded, and ran into the midst of 
the congregation; and, behold, the 
plague was begun among the 
people: and he put on incense, 
and made an atonement for the 
people. 

48 And he n stood between the 
dead and the living; and the 
plague was stayed. 

49 Now they that died in the 
plague were fourteen thousand and 
seven hundred, besides them that 
died about the matter of Korah. 

50 And Aaron returned \mto 
Moses unto the door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation: and the 
plague was stayed.

6 % And Moses spake unto the 
children of Israel, and every one

apiece, for each prince one, accord-

twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron 
was among their rods. 

7 And Moses laid up the rods

8 And it came to pass, that on the 
morrow Moses went into the tab-

the rod of Aaron for the house of 
Levi was d budded, and brought 
forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, 
and yielded almonds. 

9 And Moses brought out all the 
rods from before the Lord unto all 
the children of Israel: and they 
looked, and took every man his 
rod.

Moses, Bring Aaron's 6 rod again

11 And Moses did so: as the Lord 
commanded him, so did he. 

12 And the children of Israel 
spake unto Moses, saying, Behold,

and the altar, /that neither they, 
nor ye also, die. 

4 And they shall be joined unto 
thee, and keep the charge of the 
tabernacle of the congregation, for 
all the service of the tabernacle : 
and a stranger shall not come nigh 
unto you. 

5 And ye shall keep 9 the charge 
of the sanctuary, and the charge of 
the altar; that there be no wrath 
any more upon the children of 
Israel. 

6 And I, behold, I have A taken 
your brethren the Levites from 
among the children of Israel : to 
you they are given as a gift lor the 
Lord, to do the service of the tab- 
ernacle of the congregation. 

7 Therefore thou and thy sons

and » within the veil; and ye shall 
serve: I have given your priest's 
office unto you as a service of gift:

nigh shall be put to death. 

8 ^ And the Lord spake unto 
Aaron, Behold, k I also have given

offerings of all the hallowed things 
of the children of Israel; unto thee 
have I given them, l by reason of 
the anointing, and to thy sons, by

shall eat of it. 

14 Every * thing devoted in Israel 
shall be thine. 

15 Every thing that openeth 'the

unto the Lord, whether it be of men 
or beasts, shall be thine: neverthe- 
less u the first-born of man shalt 
thou surely redeem, and the first- 
ling of unclean beasts shalt thou 
redeem. 

16 And those that are to be re- 
deemed from a month old shalt 
thou redeem, " according to thine 
estimation, for the money of five 
shekels, after the shekel of the 
sanctuary, which w is twenty gerahs. 

17 But * the firstling of a cow, 
or the firstling of a sheep, or the 
firstling of a goat, thou shalt not 
redeem; they are holy: v thou shalt 
sprinkle their blood upon the altar, 
and shalt burn their fat for an 
offering made by fire, for a sweet 
savour unto the Lord. 

18 And the flesh of them shall be 
thine, as the * wave breast and as 
the right shoulder are thine. 

19 All the heave offerings of the 
holy things, which the children of 
Israel offer unto the Lord, have I 
given thee, and thy sons and thy 
daughters with thee, by a statute 
for ever: it is 4 a covenant of salt 
for ever before the Lord unto thee 
and to thy seed with thee. 

20 f And the Lord spake unto 
Aaron, Thou shalt have no inherit- 
ance in then: land, neither shalt 
thou have any part among them: 
I a am thy part and thine inherit- 
ance among the children of Israel. 

21 And, behold, 6 I have given 
the children of Levi all the tenth 
in Israel for an inheritance, for 
their service which they serve, even 
the service of the tabernacle of the 
congregation. 

22 Neither must the children of 
Israel henceforth come nigh the 
tabernacle of the congregation,, 
lest c they bear sin, 6 and die. 

23 But the Levites shall do the 
service of the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and they shall bear 
their iniquity. It shall be a statute 
for ever throughout your genera- 
tions, that among the children of 
Israel they have no inheritance.

Israel, which they offer as an heave

offering unto the Lord, I have 
given to the Levites to inherit: 
therefore I have said unto them, 
Among d the children of Israel they 
shall have no inheritance. 

25 % And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saving, 

26 Thus speak unto the Levites, 
and say unto them, When ye take 
of the children of Israel the tithes 
which I have given you from them 
for your inheritance, then ye shall 
offer up an heave offering of it for 
the Lord, even e a tenth part of the 
tithe. 

27 And this your heave offering 
shall be reckoned unto you, as 
though it were the corn of the 
threshing-floor, and as the fulness 
of the wine-press. 

28 Thus ye also shall offer an 
heave offering unto the Lord of all 
your tithes, which ye receive of the 
children of Israel ; and ye shall 
give thereof the Lord's heave offer- 
ing to Aaron the priest. 

29 Out of all your gifts ye shall 
offer every heave offering of the 
Lord, of all the 6 best thereof, 
even the hallowed part thereof out 
of it. 

30 Therefore thou shalt say unto 
them, When ye have heaved the 
best thereof from it, then it shall 
be counted unto the Levites as the 
increase of the thresbing-rloor, and 
as the increase of the wine-press. 

31 And ye shall eat it in every 
place, ye and your households: for 
it is /your reward for your service 
in the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion. 

32 And ye shall s bear no sin by 
reason of it, when ye have heaved 
from it the best of it: neither shall 
ye pollute the holy things of the 
children of Israel, lest ye die.

6 And Moses and Aaron went 
from the presence of the assembly 
unto the door of the tabernacle of 
the congregation, and they A fell 
upon their faces: and the glory of 
the Lord appeared unto them. 

7 f And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

8 Take » the rod, and gather thou 
the assembly together, thou and 
Aaron thy brother, and speak ye 
unto the rock before their eyes; 
and it shall give forth his water, 
and 3 thou shalt bring forth to 
them water out of the rock: so 
thou shalt give the congregation 
and their beasts drink. 

9 And Moses took the rod * from 
before the Lord, as he commanded 
him. 

10 And Moses and Aaron gath- 
ered the congregation together 
before the rock, and he said unto 
them, l Hear now, ye rebels; must 
we fetch you water out of this 
rock? 

11 And Moses lifted up his 
hand, and with his rod he smote 
the rock m twice; and the n water 
came out abundantly, and the 
congregation drank, and their 
beasts also. 

12 ^ And the Lord spake unto 
Moses and Aaron, Because ° ye 
believed me not, to sanctify p me 
in the eyes of the children of 
Israel, therefore ye shall not bring 
this congregation into the land 
which I have given them. 

13 This q is the water of J Meri- 
bah; because the children of Israel 
strove with the Lord, and he was 
sanctified in them. 

14 *U And Moses r sent messengers 
from Kadesh unto the king of 
Edom, 8 Thus saith thy brother 
Israel, Thou knowest all the travail 
that hath 2 befallen us; 

15 How our fathers went down 
into Egypt, and we have dwelt in 
Egypt a long time; and the 
Egyptians vexed us and our 
fathers: 

16 And ' when we cried unto the 
Lord, he heard our voice, and 
sent w an angel, and hath brought 
us forth out of Egypt ; and, behold, 
we are in Kadesh, a city in the 
uttermost of thy border:

drink of the water of the wells: 
we will go by the king's high way, 
we will not turn to the right hand 
nor to the left, until we have passed 
thy borders. 

18 And Edom said unto him, 
Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I 
come out against thee with the 
sword. 

19 And the children of Israel 
said unto him, We will go by the 
high way; and if I and my cattle 
drink of thy water, w then I will 

. pay for it: I will only, without 
doing any thing else, go through on 
my feet. 

20 And he said, z Thou shalt not 
go through. And Edom came out 
against him with much people, 
and with a strong hand. 

21 Thus Edom refused to give 
Israel passage through '-'his border: 
wherefore Israel * turned away 
from him. 

22 fl And the children of Israel, 
even the whole congregation, jour- 
neyed from a Kadesh, and 6 came 
unto mount Hor. 

23 And the Lord spake unto 
Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, 
by the coast of the land of Edom, 
saying, 

24 Aaron shall c be gathered unto 
his people: for he shall not enter 
into the land which I have given 
unto the children of Israel, because 
ye rebelled against my 3 word at 
the water of Meribah. 

25 Take d Aaron and Eleazar his 
son, and bring them up unto 
mount Hor; 

26 And strip Aaron of his gar- 
ments, and put them upon Eleazar 
his son: and Aaron shall be gathered 
unto his people, and shall die there. 

27 And Moses did as the Lord 
commanded: and they went up 
into mount Hor in the sight of all 
the congregation. 

28 And Moses e stripped Aaron of 
his garments, and put them upon 
Eleazar his son; and /Aaron died 
there in the top of the mount: and 
Moses and Eleazar came down 
from the mount. 

29 And when all the congregation 
saw that Aaron was dead, they 
mourned for Aaron thirty g days,

came by the way of the spies; then

some of them prisoners. 

2 And b Israel vowed a vow unto 
the Lord, and said, If thou wilt 
indeed deliver this people into my 
hand, then c I will utterly destroy 
their cities. 

3 And the Lord hearkened to the 
voice of Israel, and delivered up 
the Canaanites; and they utterly 
destroyed them and their cities: 
and he called the name of the 
place x Hormah. 

4 % And they journeyed from 
mount Hor by the way of the Red 
sea, to compass the land of Edom: 
and the soul of the people was 
much 2 discouraged because of the 
way. 

5 And the people d spake against 
God, and against Moses, 6 Where- 
fore have ye brought us up out of 
Egypt to die in the wilderness? 
for there is no bread, neither is 
there any water; and /our soul 
loatheth this light bread. 

6 And 9 the Lord sent ft fiery 
serpents among the people, and 
they bit the people; and much 
people of Israel died. 

7 Therefore » the people came to 
Moses, and said, We have sinned; 
for we have spoken against the 
Lord, and against thee: i pray 
unto the Lord, that he take away 
the serpents from us. And Moses 
prayed for the people. 

8 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Make thee a fiery serpent, and set 
it upon a pole: and it shall come 
to pass, that every one that is 
bitten, when he looketh upon it, 
shall live. 

9 And k Moses made a serpent 
of brass, and put it upon a pole; 
and it came to pass, that if a ser- 
pent had bitten any man, when 
he beheld the serpent of brass, he 
lived. 

10 f And the children of Israel 
set forward, and pitched in 
Oboth. 

11 And they journeyed from 
Oboth, and pitched at 3 Ije-abarim,

in the brooks of Amon, 

15 And at the stream of the 
brooks that goeth down to the 
dwelling of Ar, and e lieth upon

16 IT And from thence they ivent 
to m Beer: that is the well whereof 
the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather 
the people together, and "I will 
give them water. 

17 Then "Israel sang this song, 
6 Spring up, well; 7 sing ye unto 
it: 

18 The princes digged the well, 
the nobles of the people digged it, 
by the direction of the ^lawgiver, 
with their staves. And from the 
wilderness they went to Mattanah; 

19 And from Mattanah to Na- 
haliel; and from Nahaliel to 
Bamoth; 

20 And from Bamoth in the 
valley, that is in the 8 country of 
Moab, to the top of 9 Pisgah, which

23 And * Sihon would not suffer 
Israel to pass through his border; 
but Sihon gathered all his people 
together, and went out against 
Israel into the wilderness: and u he 
came to Jahaz, and fought against 
Israel. 

24 And "Israel smote him with 
the edge of the sword, and pos- 
sessed his land from Amon unto

29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art

18 And Balaam answered and 
said unto the servants of Balak, If 
Balak would give me his house full 
of silver and gold, 1 1 cannot go 
beyond the word of the Lord my 
God, to do less or more. 

19 Now therefore, I pray you, 
tarry ye also here this night, that I 
may know what the Lord will say 
unto me more. 

20 And God came unto Balaam 
at night, and said unto him, If the 
men come to call thee, rise up, and 
go with them; but yet m the word 
which I shall say unto thee, that 
shalt thou do. 

21 And Balaam rose up in the 
morning, and saddled his ass, 
and went " with the princes of 
Moab. 

22 If And God's anger was kindled 
because he went : ° and the angel 
of the Lord stood in the way for an 
adversary against him. Now he 
was riding upon his ass, and his 
two servants were with him. 

23 And p the ass saw the angel of 
the Lord standing in the way, and 
his sword drawn in his hand : and 
the ass turned aside out of the way, 
and went into the field: and 
Balaam smote the ass, to turn her 
into the way. 

24 But the angel of the Lord 
stood in a path of the vineyards, a 
wall being on this side, and a wall 
on that side. 

25 And when the ass saw the 
angel of the Lord, she thrust her- 
self unto the wall, and crushed 
Balaam's 3 foot against the wall : 
and he smote her again. 

26 And the angel of the Lord 
went further, and stood in a narrow 
place, r where was no way to turn 
either to the right hand or to the 
left. 

27 And when the ass saw the 
angel of the Lord, she fell down 
under Balaam : s and Balaam's 
anger was kindled, and he smote 
the ass with a staff. 

28 And the Lord * opened the 
mouth of the ass ; and she said 
unto Balaam, What have I done 
unto thee, that thou hast smitten 
me these three times? 

29 And Balaam said unto the ass, 
Because thou hast mocked me: I 
would there were a sword in mine 
hand, M for now would I kill thee. 

30 And "the ass said unto Balaam, 
Am not I thine ass, 4 upon which 
thou hast ridden 5 ever since / was 
thine unto this day ? was I ever

wont to do so unto thee ? And he 
said, Nay. 

31 Then the Lord w opened the 
eyes of Balaam, and he saw the 
angel of the Lord standing in the 
way, and his sword drawn in his 
hand: and he x bowed down his 
head, and 6 fell flat on his face. 

32 And the angel of the Lord said 
unto him. Wherefore hast thou 
smitten thine ass these three times? 
Behold, I went out 7 to withstand 
thee, because thy way is y perverse 
before me: 

33 And the ass saw me, and 
turned from me these three times: 
unless she had turned from me, 
surely now also I had slain thee, 
and saved her alive. 

34 And Balaam said unto the 
angel of the Lord, 3 1 have sinned; 
for I knew not that thou stoodest 
in the way against me: now there- 
fore, if it 8 displease thee, I will get 
me back again. 

35 And the angel of the Lord 
said unto Balaam, Go with the 
men: but only the word that I 
shall speak unto thee, that thou 
shalt speak. So Balaam went with 
the princes of Balak. 

36 ^[ And when Balak heard that 
Balaam was come, ° he went out 
to meet him unto a city of Moab, 
which is in the border of Anion, 
which is in the utmost coast. 

37 And Balak said unto Balaam, 
Did I not earnestly send unto thee 
to call thee? wherefore earnest thou 
not unto me ? am I not able indeed 
to promote thee to honour? 

38 And Balaam said unto Balak, 
Lo, I am come unto thee : have I 
now any power at all to say any 
thing? b the word that God putteth 
in my mouth, that shall I speak 

39 And Balaam went with Balak, 
and they came unto 9 Kirjath- 
huzoth. 

40 And Balak offered oxen and 
sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to 
the princes that were with him. 

41 And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that Balak took Balaam, 
and brought him up into the c high 
places of Baal, that thence he might

2 And Balak did as Balaam had 
spoken: and Balak and Balaam 
offered on every altar a bullock and 
a ram. 

3 And Balaam said unto Balak, 
Stand by thy burnt offering, and I 
will go: peradventure the Lord 
will come to meet me : and what- 
soever he showeth me I will tell 
thee. And 1 he went to an high \ 
place. 

4 And God met Balaam: and he ! 
said unto him, I have prepared 
seven altars, and I have offered I 
upon every altar a bullock and a i 
ram. i 

5 And the Lord a put a word in 
Balaam's mouth, and said, Return | 
unto Balak, and thus thou shalt ' 
speak. 

6 And he returned unto him, and, 
lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, \ 
he, and all the princes of Moab. 

7 And 6 he took up his parable, I 
and said, Balak the king of Moab 
hath brought me from c Aram, out 
of the mountains of the east, saying, 
Come, curse me Jacob, and come, 
defy d Israel. 

8 How shall I curse, whom God 
hath not cursed ? or e how shall ] 
defy, whom the Lord hath not 
defied ? 

9 For from the top of the rocks 1 
see him, and from the hills I behold 
him: lo, / the people shall dwell 
alone, and 9 shall not be reckoned 
among the nations. 

10 Who h can count the dust of j 
Jacob, and the number of the i 
fourth part of Israel? Let 2 me die i 
the i death of the righteous, and let j 
my last end be like his! 

11 And Balak said unto Balaam, ; 
"What hast thou done unto me?>I I 
took thee to curse mine enemies, i 
and, behold, thou hast blessed them j 
altogether. 

12 And he answered and said, 
Must I not take heed to speak that 
which the Lord hath put in my 
mouth ? 

13AndBalaksaiduntohim,Come, ! 
I pray thee, with me unto another 
place, from whence thou mayest see 
them: thou shalt see butthe utmost 
part of them, and shalt not see 
them all; and curse me them from 
thence. 

14 f And he brought him into the 
field of Zophim, to the top of 3 Pis- 
gah, * and built seven altars, and 
offered a bullock and a ram on 
every altar. 

15 And he said unto Balak, Stand

here by thy burnt offering, while I 
meet the LORD yonder. 

16 And the Lord met Balaam, 
and put a word in his mouth, and 
said, Go again unto Balak, and say 
thus. 

17 And when he came to him, 
behold, he stood by his burnt offer- 
ing, and the princes of Moab with 
him. And Balak said unto him, 
What l hath the Lord spoken ? 

18 And he took up his parable, 
and said, Rise m up, Balak, and 
hear ; hearken unto me, thou son 
of Zippor: 

19 God n is not a man, that he 
should lie; neither the son of man, 
that he should repent: hath he 
said, and shall he not do it? or 
hath he spoken, and shall he not 
make it good ? 

20 Behold, I have received com- 
mandment to bless : and ° he hath 
blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 

21 He p hath not beheld iniquity 
in Jacob, neither hath he seen 

Eerverseness in Israel : the 2 Lord 
is God is with him, r and the 
shout of a king is among them. 

22 God brought them out of Egypt : 
he hath as it were * the strength of 
an unicorn. 

23 Surely there is no enchantment 
4 against Jacob, neither is there any 
divination against Israel: accord- 
ing to this time it shall be said of 
Jacob and of Israel, * What hath 
God wrought ! 

24 Behold, the people shall rise up 
as a great Hon, and lift up himself 
as a young lion : he shall not he 
down until he eat of the prey, and 
drink the blood of the slain. 

25 % And Balaksaid unto Balaam, 
Neither curse them at all, nor bless 
them at all. 

26 But Balaam answered and 
said unto Balak, Told not I thee, 
saying, All that the Lord speaketh, 
that I must do ? 

27 ^ And Balak said unto Balaam, 
Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee 
unto another place ; peradventure 
it will please God that thou mayest 
curse me them from thence. 

28 And Balak brought Balaam 
unto the top of Peor, that looketh 
toward 5 Jeshimon. 

29 And "Balaam said unto Balak, 
Build me here seven altars, and 
prepare me here seven bullocks 
and seven rams. 

30 And Balak did as Balaam had 
said, and offered a bullock and a 
ram on every altar.

CHARTER XXIV. 

I Balaam foretelleth Israel's happiness; 15 
lie prophesieth of the Star of Jacob, etc. 

AND when Balaam saw that it 
pleased the Lord to bless 
Israel, he went not, as at other 
times, 1 to seek for enchantments, 
but he set his face toward the wil- 
derness. 

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, 
and he saw Israel abiding in his 
tents according to their tribes: 
and a the Spirit of God came upon 

hJTT>. 

3 And h he took up his parable, 
and said, Balaam the son of Beor 
hath said, and the man 2 whose eyes 
are open hath said: 

4 He hath said, which heard the 
words of God, which saw the visiou 
of the Almighty, falling c into a 
trance, but having his eyes open : 

5 How goodly are thy tents, O 
Jacob ! and thy tabernacles, O 
Israel! 

6 As the valleys are they spread 
forth, as gardens by the river's side, 
as the trees of lign aloes, d which 
the Lord hath planted, and as 
cedar trees beside the waters. 

7 He shall pour the water out of 
his buckets, and his seed shall be 
in many waters, and his king shall 
be higher than e Agag, and his 
kingdom /shall be exalted. 

8 God brought him forth out of 
Egypt; he hath as it were the 
strength of an unicorn: he shall 
eat up the nations his enemies, 
and shall break their bones, and 
pierce them through with his 
arrows. . 

9 He couched, he lay down as a 
Hon, and as a great Hon: who 
shall stir him up? Blessed 9 is he 
that blesseth thee, and cursed is 
he that curseth thee. 

10 % And Balak's anger was 
kindled against Balaam, and he 
smote his hands together: and 
Balak said unto Balaam, I called 
thee to curse mine enemies, and, 
behold, thou hast altogether 
blessed them these three times. 

II Therefore now flee thou to 
thy place: I thought to promote 
thee unto great honour; but, lo, 
the Lord hath kept thee back 
from honour. 

12 And Balaam said unto Balak, 
Spake I not also to thy messengers 
which thou sentest unto me, 
saying,

house fall of silver and gold, I 
cannot go beyond the command- 
ment of the Lord, to do either 
good or bad of mine own mind; 
but what the Lord saith, that will 
I speak? 

14 And now, behold, I go unto 
my people: come therefore, and I 
will advertise thee what this 
people shall do to thy people in 
the latter days. 

15 And he took up his parable, 
and said, Balaam the son of Beor 
hath said, and the man whose 
eyes are open hath said; 

16 He hath said, which heard the 
words of God, and knew the 
knowledge of the Most High, 
which saw the vision of the 
Almighty, falling into a trance, but 
having his eyes open: 

17 I k shall see him, but not now; 
I shall behold him, but not nigh: 
there shall come a * Star out of 
Jacob, and S a Sceptre shall rise 
out of Israel, and shall 3 smite the 
corners of Moab, and destroy all 
the children of Sheth. 

18 And * Edom shall be a pos- 
session, Seir also shall be a pos- 
session for his enemies; and Israel 
shall do valiantly. 

19 Out of Jacob shall come he 
that shall have dominion, and 
shall destroy him that remaineth 
of the city. 

20 And when he looked on 
Amalek, he took up his parable, 
and said, Amalek was 4 the first 
of the nations, but his latter 
end ° shall be that he perish for 
ever. 

21 And he looked on the Kenites, 
and took up his parable, and 
said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, 
and thou puttest thy nest in a 
rock: 

22 Nevertheless 6 the Kenite shall 
be wasted, 7 until Asshur shall 
carry thee away captive. , 

23 And he took up his parable, 
and said, Alas! who shall live 
when God doeth this? 

24 And ships shall come from the 
coast of l Chittim, and shall afflict 
Asshur, and shall afflict m Eber, 
and n he also shall perish for ever. 

25 And Balaam rose up, and went 
and returned to his place: and 
Balak also went his way.

3 And Israel ioined himself unto 
Baal-peor: and •''the anger of the 
Lord was kindled against Israel. 

4 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Take 9 all the heads of the people, 
and hang them up before the Lord 
against the sun, A that the fierce 
anger of the Lord may be turned 
away from Israel. 

5 And Moses said untothe judges 
of Israel. Slay * ye every one his 
men that were joined unto Baal- 
peor. 

6 ^ And, behold, one of the chil- 
dren of Israel came and brought 
unto his brethren a Midianitish 
woman in the sight of Moses, and 
in the sight of all the congregation 
of the children of Israel, ^ who were 
weeping before the door of the tab- 
ernacle of the congregation. 

7 And when Phinehas. k the son 
of Eleazar ? the son of Aaron the 
priest, saw it, he rose up from among 
the congregation, and took T a 
javelin in his hand: 

8 And he went after the man of 
Israel into the tent, and thrust 
both of them through, the man of 
Israel and the woman through her 
belly. So the plague was stayed 
from the children of Israel. 

9 And l those that died in the 
plague were twenty and four thou- 



10 <j[And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

11 Phinehas, m the son of Eleazar, 
the son of Aaron the priest, hath 
turned my wrath away from the 
children of Israel while he was 
zealous 2 for my sake among them, 
that I consumed not the children 
of Israel in my "jealousy. 

12 Wherefore say, "Behold, I give 
unto him my covenant of peace: 

13 And he shall have it, and *his 
seed after him, even the covenant 
of 3 an everlasting priesthood; be- 
cause he was r zealous for his God, 
and made an atonement for the 
children of Israel. 

14 Now the name of the Israelite 
that was slain, even that was slain 
with the Midianitish woman, was 
Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of

16 1[ And the Lord spake unto 
Mioses, saying,

them: 

18 For they vex you with their 
wiles, wherewith they have be- 
guiled you in the matter of Peor,

4 Why should the name of our 
father be x done away from among 
his family, because he hath no 
son? Give unto us therefore a 
possession among the brethren of 
our father. 

5 And Moses e brought then- 
cause before the Lord. 

6 % And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

7 The daughters of Zelophehad 
speak right: thou / shalt surely 
give them a possession of an in- 
heritance among their father's 
brethren: and thou shalt cause 
the inheritance of their father to 
pass unto them. 

8 And thou shalt speak unto the 
children of Israel, saying, If a man 
die r and have no son, then ye shall 
cause his inheritance to pass unto 
his daughter. 

9 And if he have no daughter, 
then ye shall give his inheritance 
unto his brethren. 

10 And if he have no brethren, 
then ye shall give his inheritance 
unto his father's brethren. 

11 And if his father have no 
brethren, then ye shall give his 
inheritance unto his kinsman 
that is next to him of his family, 
and he shall possess it: and it shall 
be unto the children of Israel 9 a 
statute of judgment; as the Lord 
commanded Moses. 

12 % And the Lord said unto 
Moses, h Get thee up into this 
mount Abarim, and see the land 
which I have given unto the 
children of Israel. 

13 And when thou hast seen it, 
thou also shalt i be gathered unto 
thy people, as Aaron thy brother 
was gathered.

commandment in the desert of 
Zin, in the strife of the congrega- 
tion, to sanctify me at the water 
before their eyes : that is k the 
water of Meribah in Kadesh in 
the wilderness of Zin. 

15 ^f And Moses spake unto the 
Lord, saying,

18 I) And the Lord said unto 
Moses, Take thee Joshua the son 
of Nun, a man ° in whom is the 
spirit, and lay thine hand upon 
him; 

19 And set him before Eleazar 
the priest, and before all the con- 
gregation; and F give him a charge 
in their sight. 

20 And g thou shalt put some of 
thine honour upon him, that all 
the congregation of the children 
of Israel r may be obedient. 

21 And * he shall stand before 
Eleazar the priest, who shall ask 
counsel for him ' after the judgment 
of Urim before the Lord: at M his 
word shall they go out, and at his 
word they shall come in, both he, 
and all the children of Israel with 
him, even all the congregation. 

22 And Moses did as the Lord 
commanded him: and he took 
Joshua, and set him before Eleazar 
the priest, and before all the 
congregation: 

23 And he laid his hands upon 
him, " and gave him a charge; as 
the Loed commanded by the hand

Israel, and say unto them, My 
offering, and a my bread for my 
sacrifices made by fire, for x a sweet 
savour unto me, shall ye observe 
to offer unto me in their due

This 6 is the offering made by fire

continual burnt offering. 

4 The one lamb shalt thou offer

lamb shalt thou offer 3 at even; 

5 And c a tenth part of an ephah

CHAPTER XXX. 

1 Vows are not to be broken. % Of a 
maid's vow; 9 Of a widow's, or of her 
that is divorced. 

A 1ST) Moses spake unto a the 
heads of the tribes concerning 
the children of Israel, saying, 
This is the thing which the Lord 
hath commanded. 

2 If & a man vow a vow unto the 
Lord, or swear c an oath to bind 
his soul with a bond; he shall not 
1 break his word, he shall d do 
according to all that proceedeth 
cut of his mouth. 

3 If a woman also vow a vow 
unto the Lord, and bind herself "by 
a bond, being in her father's house 
in her youth; 

4 And her father hear her vow, 
and her bond wherewith she hath 
bound her soul, and her father 
shall hold his peace at her; then 
all her vows shall stand, and every 
bond wherewith she hath bound 
her soul shall stand. 

5 But if her father disallow her

in the day that he heareth; not 
any of her vows, or of her bonds 
wherewith she hath botmd her 
soul, shall stand: and the Lord 
shall forgive her, because her 
father disallowed her. 

6 And if she had at all an 
husband when 2 she vowed, or 
uttered ought out of her lips, 
wherewith she bound her soul; 

7 And her husband heard it, and 
held his peace at her in the day 
that he heard it; then her vows 
shall stand, and her bonds where- 
with she bound her soul shall stand. 

8 But if her husband e disallowed 
her on the day that he heard it; 
then he shall make her vow which 
she vowed, and that which she 
uttered with her lips, wherewith 
she bound her soul, of none effect: 
and the Lord shall forgive her. 

9 But every vow of a widow, and 
of her that is / divorced, wherewith 
they have bound their souls, shall 
stand against her. 

10 And if she vowed in her 
husband's house, or bound her 
soul by a bond with an oath; 

11 And her husband heard it, 
and held his peace at her, and 
disallowed her not; then all her 
vows shall stand, and every bond 
wherewith she bound her soul 
shall stand. 

12 But if ber husband hath 
3 utterly made them void on the 
day he heard them; then whatsoever 
proceeded out of her lips con- 
cerning her vows, or concerning 
the bond of her soul, shall not 
stand: her husband hath made 
them void; and the Lord shall 
forgive her. 

13 Every vow, and every binding 
oath to afflict the soul her husband 
may establish it, or her husband 
may make it void. 

14 But if her husband altogether 
hold his peace at her from day 
to day; then he establisheth all 
her vows, or all her bonds, which 
are upon her: he confirmeth them, 
because he held his peace at her 
in the day that he heard tftem. 

15 But if he shall any ways make 
them void after that he hath 
heard them; then he shall i bear 
her iniquity. 

16 These are the statutes which 
the Lord commanded Moses, 
between a man and his wife, 
between the father and his daugh- 
ter, being yet in ber youth in her 
father's house.

CHAPTEE XXXI. 

1 The Midianites spoiled, and Balaam 
slain. 13 Moses is wroth ivith the officers 
for saving the women alive. 

AND the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

2 A venge a the children of Israel 
of the Midianites: afterward shalt 
thou 6 be gathered unto thy people. 

3 And Moses spake unto the 
people, saying, Arm some of 
yourselves unto the war, and let 
them go against the Midianites, 
and c avenge the Lord of Midian. 

4 x Of every tribe a thousand, 
throughout all the tribes of Israel 
shall ye send to the war. 

5 So there were delivered out of 
the thousands of Israel, a thousand 
of every tribe, twelve thousand 
armed for war. 

6 And Moses sent them to the 
war, a thousand of every tribe, 
them and Phinehas the son of 
Eleazar the priest, to the war, 
with the holy instruments, and 
the d trumpets to blow in his hand. 

7 And they warred against the 
Midianites, as the Lord com- 
manded Moses;. 6 and they slew all 
the /males. 

8 And they slew the lungs of 
Midian, besides the rest of them 
that were slain; namely, s Evi, and. 
Bekem, and Zur, and Hur, and 
Keba, five kings of Midian: "■ Ba- 
laam also the son of Beor they 
slew with the sword. 

9 And the children of Israel took 
all the women of Midian captives, 
and their little ones, and took the 
spoil of all their cattle, and all 
their flocks, and all their goods. 

10 And they burnt all their cities 
wherein they dwelt, and all their 
goodly castles, with fire. 

11 And * they took all the spoil, 
and all the prey, both of men and 
of beasts. 

12 And they brought the captives, 
and the prey, and the spoil, unto 
Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and 
unto the congregation of the chil- 
dren of Israel, unto the camp at 
the plains of Moab, which are by 
Jordan near Jericho. 

13 1f And Moses, and Eleazar the 
priest, and all the princes of the 
congregation, went forth to meet 
them without the camp. 

14 And Moses was wroth with 
the officers of the host, with the 
captains over thousands, and cap- 
tains over hundreds, which came 
from the 2 battle.

15 And Moses said unto them, 
Have ye saved all i the women 
alive? 

16 Behold, * these, caused the 
children of Israel, through! l the 
counsel of Balaam, to commit 
trespass against the Lord in the 
matter of Peor, and there was a 
plague among the congregation of 
the Lord. 

17 Now therefore m kill every 
male among the little ones, and 
kill every woman that hath known 
man by lying with 3 him. 

18 But all the women children, 
that have not known a man by 
lying with him, keep alive for 
yourselves. 

19 And n do ye abide without 
the camp seven days: whosoever 
hath killed any person, and who- 
soever ° hath touched any slain, 
purify both yourselves and your 
captives on the third day, and on 
the seventh day. 

20 And purify all your raiment, 
and all * that is made of skins, 
and all work of goats' Mir, and 
all things made of wood. 

21 % And Eleazar the priest said 
unto the men of war which went 
to the battle, This is the ordinance 
of the law which the Lord com- 
manded Moses; 

22 Only the gold, and the silver, 
the brass, the iron, the tin, and 
the lead, 

23 Everything that may abide 
the fire, ye shall make it go 
through the fire, and it shall be 
clean; nevertheless it shall be puri- 
fied with P the water of separation: 
and all that abideth not the fire 
ye shall make go through the 
water. 

24 And q ye shall wash your 
clothes on the seventh day, and 
ye shall be clean, and afterward 
ye shall come into the camp. 

25 f And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, saying, 

26 Take the sum of the prey 
5 that was taken, both of man and 
of beast, thou, and Eleazar the 
priest, and the chief fathers of the 
congregation; 

27 And r divide the prey into 
two parts, between them that took 
the war upon them, who went out 
to battle, and between all the 
congregation: 

28 And levy a • tribute unto the 
Lord of the men of war which 
went out to battle: one ' soul of 
five hundred, both of the persons,

and of the beeves, and of the asses, 
and of the sheep: 

29 Take it of their half, and give 
it unto Eleazar the priest, for an 
heave offering of the Lord. 

30 And of the children of Israel's 
half, thou shalt take one portion 
of fifty, of the persons, of the 
beeves, of the asses, and of the 
6 flocks, of all manner of beasts, 
and give them unto the Levitesj 
which u keep the charge of the 
tabernacle of the Lord. 

31 And Moses and Eleazar the 
priest did as the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

32 And the booty, being the rest 
of the prey which the men of war 
had caught, was six hundred 
thousand and seventy thousand 
and live thousand sheep, 

33 And threescore and twelve 
thousand beeves, 

34 And threescore and one thou- 
sand asses, 

35 And thirty and two thousand 
persons in all, of women that had 
not known man by lying with 
him. 

36 And the half, which was the 
portion of them that went out to 
war, was in number three hundred 
thousand and seven and thirty 
thousand and five hundred sheep: 

37 And the Lord's * tribute oi 
the sheep was six hundred and 
threescore and fifteen. 

38 And the beeves were thirty 
and six thousand ; of which the 
Lord's tribute was threescore and 
twelve. 

39 And the asses were thirty 
thousand and five hundred; of 
which the Lord's tribute was 
threescore and one. 

40 And the persons were sixteen 
thousand; of which the Lord's 
tribute was thirty and two persons. 

41 And Moses gave the tribute, 
which was the Lord's heave offer- 
ing, unto Eleazar the priest; w as 
the Lord commanded Moses. 

42 And of the children of Israel's 
half, which Moses divided from 
the men that warred, 

43 (Now the half that pertained 
unto the congregation was three 
hundred thousand and thirty thou- 
sand and seven thousand and rive 
hundred sheep, 

44 And thirty and six thousand 
beeves, 

45 And thirty thousand asses and 
five hundred, 

46 And sixteen thousand persons;)

47 Even of the children of Israel's 
half, Moses took one portion of 
fifty, both of man and of beast, 
and gave them unto the Levites, 
which kept the charge of the 
tabernacle of the Lord; as the 
Lord commanded Moses. 

48 ^f And the officers which were 
over thousands of the host, the 
captains of thousands, and cap- 
tains of hundreds, came near unto 
Moses: 

49 And they said unto Moses, 
Thy servants have taken the sum 
of the men of war which are under 
our 7 charge, and there lacketh 
not one x man of us. 

50 We have therefore brought an 
oblation for the Lord, what every 
man hath 8 gotten, of jewels of 
gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, 
earrings, and tablets, ^to make 
an atonement for our souls before 
the Lord. 

51 And Moses and Eleazar the 
priest took the gold of them, even 
all wrought jewels. 

52 And all the gold of the 9 offer- 
ing that they offered up to the 
Lord, of the captains of thousands, 
and of the captains of hundreds, 
was sixteen thousand seven hun- 
dred and fifty shekels. 

53 (For *the men of war had 
taken spoil, every man for himself.) 

54 And Moses and Eleazar the 
priest took the gold of the captains 
of thousands and of hundreds, and 
brought it into the tabernacle of 
the congregation, for a a memorial 
for the children of Israel before the 
Lord.

behold, the place was a place for

2 The children of Gad and the

5 Wherefore, said they if we have 
found grace in thy sight, let this 
land be given unto thy servants 
for a possession, and bring us not 
over Jordan. 

6 % And Moses said unto the 
children of Gad and to the children 
of Reuben, Shall your brethren go 
to war, and shall ye sit here? 

7 And wherefore x discourage ye 
the heart of the children of Israel 
from going over into the land 
which the Lord hath given them? 

8 Thus did your fathers, / when I 
sent them from Kadesh-barnea ? to 
see the land. 

9 For A when they went up unto 
the valley of EshcoL and saw the 
land, they discouraged the heart 
of the children of Israel, that they 
should not go into the land which 
the Lord had given them. 

10 And *the Lord's anger was 
kindled the same time, and he 
sware, saying, 

11 Surely none of the men that 
came up out of Egypt, i from 
twenty years old and upward, shall 
see the land which I sware unto 
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto 
Jacob ; because * they have not 
2 wholly followed me; 

12 Save Caleb the son of Jephun- 
neh the Kenezite, and Joshua the 
son of Nun: l tor they have wholly 
followed the Lord. 

13 And the Lord's anger was 
kindled against Israel and he 
made them m wander in the wil- 
derness forty years, until n all the 
generation, that had done evil in 
the sight of the Lord, was con- 
sumed. 

14 And, behold, ye are risen up 
in your fathers' stead, an increase 
of sinful men, to augment yet the 
fierce ° anger of the Lord toward 
Israel. 

15 For if ye y turn away from 
after him, he will yet again leave 
them in the wilderness; and ye 
shall destroy all this people. 

16 % And they came near unto 
him, and said, We will build sheep- 
folds here for our cattle, and cities 
for our little ones ; 

17 But q we ourselves will go ready 
armed before the children of Israel, 
until we have brought them unto 
their place: and our little ones 
shall dwell in the fenced cities be- 
cause of the inhabitants of the 
land. 

18 We r will not return unto our 
houses, until the children of Israel

obtain their inheritance. 



have inherited every man his in- 
heritance : 

19 For we will not inherit with 
them on yonder side Jordan, or 
forward; s because our inheritance 
is fallen to us on this side Jordan 
eastward. 

20 ^ And * Moses said unto them, 
If ye will do this thing, if ye will 
go armed before the Lord to war, 

21 And will go all of you armed 
over Jordan before the Lord, until 
he hath driven out his enemies 
from before him, 

22 And "the land be subdued be- 
fore the Lord; then afterward l 'ye 
shall return, and be guiltless before 
the Lord, and before Israel; and 
this w land shall be your possession 
before the Lord. 

23 But if ye will not do so, be- 
hold, ye have sinned against the 
Lord: and be sure your x sin will 
rind you out. 

24 Build " you cities for your little 
ones, and folds for your sheep; and 
do that which hath proceeded out 
of your mouth. 

25 And the children of Gad and 
the children of Beuben spake unto 
Moses, saying, Thy servants will 
do as my lord commandeth. 

26 Our z little ones, our wives, our 
flocks, and all our cattle, shall be 
there in the cities of Gilead; 

27 But °thy servants will pass 
over, every man armed for war, 
before the Lord to battle, as my 
lord saith. 

28 So concerning them Moses 
commanded Eleazar the priest, and 
Joshua the son of Nun, and the 
chief fathers of the tribes of the 
children of Israel : 

29 And Moses said unto them, If 
the children of Gad and the chil- 
dren of Reuben will pass with you 
over Jordan, every man armed to 
battle, before the Lord, and the 
land shall be subdued before you; 
then ye shall give them the land 
of Gilead for a possession : 

30 But if they will not pass over 
with you armed, they shall have 
possessions among you in the land 
of Canaan. 

31 And the children of Gad and 
the children of Reuben answered, 
saying, As the Lord hath said unto 
thy servants, so will we do. 

32 We will pass over armed before 
the Lord into the land of Canaan, 
that the possession of our inherit- 
ance on this side Jordan may be 
ours.

THESE are the journeys of the 
children of Israel, which went 
forth out of the land of Egypt with

51 Speak unto the children of

ye are passed over Jordan into the 
land of Canaan; 

52 Then b ye shall drive out all 
the inhabitants of the land from 
before you, and destroy all their 
pictures, and destroy all their 
molten images, and quite pluck 
down all their high places: 

53 And ye shall dispossess the in- 
habitants of the land, and dwell 
therein: for c I have given you the 
land to possess it. 

54 And d ye shall divide the land 
by lot for an inheritance among 
your families: and to the more ye 
shall 4 give the more inheritance, 
and to the fewer ye shall 6 give 
the less inheritance: every man's 
inheritance shall be in the place 
where his lot falleth; according to 
the tiibes of your fathers ye shall 
inherit. 

55 But if ye will not drive out the 
inhabitants of the land from before 
you; then it shall come to pass, that 
those which ye let remain of them 
shall be e pricks in your eyes, and 
thorns in your sides, and shall 
vex you in the land wherein ye 
dwell. 

56 Moreover it shall come to pass, 
that I shall do unto you, as I thought 
to do unto them.

21 Or in enmity smite him with 
his hand, that he die : he that 
smote him shall surely be put 
to death; for he is a murderer: 
the revenger of blood shall slay 
the murderer when he meeteth 
him. 

22 But if he thrust him suddenly 
without enmity, or have cast upon 
him any thing without laying of 
wait, 

23 Or with any stone, wherewith 
a man may die, seeing him not, 
and cast it upon him, that he die, 
and was not his enemy, neither 
sought his harm; 

24 Then * the congregation shall 
judge between the slayer and the 
revenger of blood according to 
these judgments: 

25 And the congregation shall 
deliver the slayer out of the hand 
of the revenger of blood, and the 
congregation shall restore him to 
the city of his refuge, whither he 
was fled: and he ° shall abide in it 
unto the death of the high priest, 
which v was anointed with the 
holy oil 

26 But if the slayer shall at any 
time come without the border of 
the city of his refuge, whither he 
was fled; 

27 And the revenger of blood 
find him without the borders 
of the city of his refuge, and 
the revenger of blood kill the 
slayer; 7 he shall not be guilty of 
blood: 

28 Because he should have re- 
mained in the city of his refuge 
until the death of the high priest: 
but after the death of the high 
priest the slayer shall return into 
the land of his possession. 

29 So these things shall be for q a 
statute of judgment unto you 
throughout your generations in all 
your dwellings. 

30 YsThoso killeth any person, the 
murderer shall be put to death 
by the T mouth of witnesses: but 
one witness shall not testify

CHAPTER XXXVI. 

1 The inconvenience of the inheritance of 
daughters, 5 is remedied, by marrying 
in their own tribes. 

AND the chief fathers of the 
families of tbe children a of 
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son 
of Manasseh, of the families of the 
sons of Joseph, came near, and 
spake before Moses, and before the 
princes, the chief fathers of the 
children of Israel: 

2 And they said, 6 The Lord 
commanded my lord to give the 
land for an inheritance by lot to 
the children of Israel : and c my 
lord was commanded by the Lord 
to give the inheritance of Ze- 
lophehad our brother unto his 
daughters. 

3 And if they be married to any 
of the sons of the otter tribes of 
the children of Israel, then shall 
their inheritance be taken from 
the inheritance of our fathers, and 
shall be put to the inheritance of 
the tribe x whereunto they are 
received: so shall it be taken from 
the lot of our inheritance. 

4 And when d the jubilee of the 
children of Israel shall be, then 
shall their inheritance be put unto 
the inheritance of the tribe where- 
unto they are received: so shall 
their inheritance be taken away 
from the inheritance of the tribe 
of our fathers. 

5 And Moses commanded the 
children of Israel according to the 
word of the Lord, saying, The 
tribe of the sons of Joseph e hath 
said well.

6 This is the thing which the 
Lord doth command concerning

they think best; only to the family 
of the tribe of their father shah 
they marry: 

7 bo shah not the t inheritance o± 
the children of Israel remove from 
tribe to tribe; for every one of the 
children of Israel shall 3 keep him- 
self to the inheritance of the tribe 
of his fathers. 

8 And 9 every daughter, that 
possesseth an inheritance in any 
tiibe of the children of Israel, 
shall be wife unto one of the 
family of the tribe of her father, 
that the children of Israel may 
enjoy every man the inheritance 
of his fathers.

10 Even as the Lord commanded 
Mose?, so did the daughters of 
Zelophehad: 

11 For k Mahlah, Tirzah, and 
Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, 
the daughters of Zelophehad, were 
marriedunto their father's brothers' 
sons: 

12 And they were married 4 into 
the families of the sons of Manas- 
sen the son of Joseph; and their 
inheritance remained in the tribe 
of the family of their father.

CHAPTER L 

i 1 Moses' speech at the end of the fortieth 
year, (fin vjhich he briefly rehearseth 
the story of God's promise to Israel, 34 
and his anger for their incredulity and 
disobedience. 

THESE be the words which Moses 
spake unto all Israel a on this 
side Jordan in the wilderness, in 
the plain over against Hhe Bed 
sea, between Paran, and Tophel, 
and Laban, and Hazeroth, and 
Dizahab. 

2 (There are eleven days' journey 
from Horeb by the way of mount 
Seir b unto Kadesh-barnea.) 

3 And it came to pass c in the 
fortieth year, in the eleventh 
month, on the first day of the 
month, that Moses spake unto the 
children of Israel, according unto 
ah that the Lord had given him 
in commandment unto them; 

4 After d he had slain Sihon the 
king of the Amorites, which dwelt 
in Heshbon, and Og the king of 
Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth 
in 6 Edrei: 

5 On this side Jordan, in the land 
of Moab, began Moses to declare 
this law, saying, 

6 The Lord our God spake unto 
us / in Horeb, saying, Ye have 
dwelt long 9 enough in this 
mount:

ites, and unto ' l aU the places nigh 
thereunto, in the plain, in the hi lis, 
and in the vale, and in the south, 
and by the sea-side, to the land of 
the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, 
unto the great river, the river 
Euphrates. 

8 Behold, I have 3 set the land 
before you: go in and possess the 
land which the Lord sware unto 
your fathers, h Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacob, to give unto them and to 
their seed after them. 

9 % And *I spake unto you at 
that time, saying, I am not able 
to bear you myself alone: 

10 The Lord your God hath mul- 
tiplied you, and, behold, ^ye are 
this day as the stars of heaven for 
multitude. 

11 (The Lord God of your fathers 
make you a thousand times so 
many more as ye are, and bless 
you, *as he hath promised you!) 

12 How l can I myself alone bear 
your cumbrance, and your burden, 
and your strife? 

13 * Take you wise men, and un- 
derstanding, and known among 
your tribes, and I will make them 
rulers over you. 

14 And ye answered me, and 
said, The thing which thou hast 
spoken is good for us to do. 

15 So I took the chief of your

and their sinful unbelief. 



tribes, wise men, and known, and 
3 made them heads over you, cap- 
tains over thousands, and captains 
over hundreds, and captains over 
fifties, and captains over tens, and 
officers among your tribes. 

16 And I charged your judges at 
that time, saying, Hear the causes 
between your brethren, and m judge 
righteously between every man and 
his brother, n and the stranger that 
is with him. 

17 Ye ° shall not 6 respect persons 
in judgment, but ye shall hear the 
small as well as the great; ye 
shall p not be afraid of the face of 
man; for the q judgment is God's : 
and the cause that is too hard for 
you, r bring it unto me, and I will 
hear it. 

18 And I commanded you at 
that time all the things which ye 
should do. 

19 H And when we departed from 
Horeb, we s went through all that 
great and terrible wilderness, which 
ye saw by the way of the mountain 
of the Amorites, as the Lord our 
God commanded us ; and ' we 
came to Kadesh-barnea. 

20 And I said unto you, Ye are 
come unto the mountain of the 
Amorites, which the Lord our God 
doth give unto us. 

21 Behold, the Lord thy God 
hath set the land before thee : go 
up and possess it, as the Lord 
God of thy fathers hath said 
unto thee; fear M not, neither be 
discouraged. 

22 ^f And ye came near unto me 
every one of you, and said, We 
will send men before us, and they 
shall search us out the land, and 
bring us word again by what way 
we must go up, and into what cities 
we shah come. 

23 And the saying pleased me 
well: and v I took twelve men of 
you, one of a tribe : 

24 And they turned and went up 
into the mountain, and came unto 
the valley of Eshcol, and searched 
it out. 

25 And they took of the fruit of 
the land in their hands, and 
brought it down unto us, and 
brought us word again, and said, 
It is a good land which the Lord 
our God doth give us. 

26 Notwithstanding w ye would 
not go up, but rebelled against 
the commandment of the Lord 
your God :

hated x us, he hath brought us 
forth out of the land of Egypt, to 
deliver us into the hand of the 
Amorites, to destroy us. 

28 Whither shall we go up? our 
brethren have 7 discouraged our 
heart, saying, y The people is 
greater and taller than we; the 
cities are great and walled up to 
heaven; and moreover we have 
seen the sons of the z Anakims 
there. 

29 Then I said unto you, Dread 
not, neither be afraid of them. 

30 The "Lord your God, which 
goeth before you, he shall fight for 
you, according to all that he did 
for you in Egypt before your eyes ; 

31 And in the wilderness, where 
thou hast seen how that the Lord 
thy God h bare thee, as a man doth 
bear his son, in all the way that 
ye went, until ye came into this 
place. 

32 Yet in this thing c ye did not 
believe the Lord your God, 

33 Who d went in the way before 
you, to e search you out a place to 
pitch your tents in, in fire by night, 
to show you by what way ye should 
go, and in a cloud by day. 

34 And the Lord heard the voice 
of your words, and was wroth, /and 
sware, saying, 

35 Surely 9 there shall not one of 
these men of this evil generation 
see that good land, which I sware 
to give unto your fathers, 

36 Save Caleb the son of Jephun- 
neh; he shall see it, and to him. 
will I give the land that he hath 
trodden upon, and to his children, 
because he hath 8 wholly followed 
the Lord. 

37 Also A the Lord was angry 
with me for your sakes, saying, 
Thou also shalt not go in thither. 

38 But Joshua the son of Nun, 
which * standeth before thee, he 
shall go in thither : i encourage 
him; for he shall cause Israel to 
inherit it. 

39 Moreover your little ones, 
which ye said should be a prey, 
and your children, which in that 
day had * no knowledge between 
good and evil, they shall go in 
thither, and unto them will I give 
it, and they shall possess it. 

40 But as for you, turn you, and 
take your journey into the wilder- 
ness by the way of the Bed sea.

the Lord, we will go tip and fight, 
according to all that the Lord our 
God commanded us. And when 
ye had girded on every man his 
weapons of war, ye were ready to 
go up into the hill. 

42 And the Lord said unto me, 
Say unto them, Go not up, neither 
fight; for I am not among you; 
lest ye he smitten before your ene- 
mies. 

43 So I spake unto you; and ye 
wouldnothear, hut rebelled against 
the commandment of the Lord, 
9 and went presumptuously up into 
the hill. 

44 And the Amorites, which 
dwelt in that mountain, came out 
against you, and chased you, l as 
bees do, and destroyed you in Sen, 
even unto Hormah. 

45 And ye returned and wept 
before the Lord; m but the Lord 
would not hearken to your voice, 
nor give ear unto you. 

46 So ye abode in n Kadesh many 
days, according unto the days that 
ye abode tJiere.

been with thee; thou hast lacked 
nothing. 

8 And when we passed by from 
our brethren the children of Esau, 
which dwelt in Seir, through the 
way of the plain b from Elath, and 
from Ezion-gaber, we turned and 
passed by the way of the wilder- 
ness of Moab. 

9 And the Lord said unto me, 
2 Distress not the Moabites, neither 
contend with them in battle: for I 
will not give thee of their land for 
a possession; because I have given 
Ar c unto the children d of Lot for 
a possession. 

10 The e Emims dwelt therein in 
times past, a people great, and 
many, and tall, as /the Anakims: 

11 Which also were accounted 
giants, as the Anakims; but the 
Moabites call them Emims. 

12 The "Horims also dwelt in 
Seir beforetime; but the children 
of Esau 3 succeeded them, when 
they had destroyed them from 
before them, and dwelt in their 
4 stead; as Israel did unto the land 
of his possession, which the Lord 
gave unto them. 

13 Now rise up, said I, and get 
you over the 5 brook Zered: and 
we went over the brook Zered. 

14 And the space in which we 
came from Kadesh-barnea, until 
we were come over the brook 
Zered, was thirty and eight years; 
until A all the generation of the 
men of war were wasted out from 
among the host, as * the Lord sware 
unto them. 

15 For indeed the 3 hand of the 
Lord was against them, to destroy 
them from among the host, until 
they were consumed. 

16 % So it came to pass, when all 
the men of war were consumed 
and dead from among the people, 

17 That the Lord spake unto me, 
saying, 

18 Thou art to pass over through 
Ar, the coast of Moab, this day : 

19 And when thou comest nigh 
over against the children of Am- 
mon, distress them not, nor meddle 
with them: for I will not give thee 
of the land of the children of Am- 
mon any possession ; because I 
have given it unto the k children 
of Lot for a possession. 

20 (That also was accounted a 
land of giants: giants dwelt there- 
in in old time; and the Ammon- 
ites call them 4 Zamzummims;

tall, as the Anakims; but the Lord 
destroyed them before them; and 
they succeeded them, and dwelt 
in their stead: 

22 As he did to the children of 
Esau, which "* dwelt in Seir, when 
he "destroyed the Horims from 
before them; and they succeeded 
them, and dwelt in their stead 
even unto this day: 

23 And. "the A vims which dwelt

Caphtorims, which came forth out

dwelt in their stead.) 

24 % Rise ye up, take your jour- 
ney, and pass over the river 
Arnon: behold : I have given into 
thine hand Sihon the Amorite, 
king of Heshbon, and his land: 
6 begin to possess it, and contend 
with him in battle. 

25 This s day will I begin to put 
the dread of thee and the fear of 
thee upon the nations that are 
under the whole heaven, who shall 
hear report of thee, and shall 
tremble, and be in anguish be- 
cause of thee. 

26 1[ And I sent messengers out 
of the wilderness of Kedemoth 
unto Sihon king of Heshbon ' with 
words of peace, saying, 

27 Let ** me pass through thy 
land: I will go along by the high 
way, I will neither turn unto the 
right hand nor to the left. 

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for 
money, that I may eat; and give 
me water for money, that I may 
drink: "only I will pass through 
on my feet, 

29 (As v the children of Esau 
which dwell in Seir, and the 
Moabites which dwell in Ar, did 
unto me,) until I shall pass over 
Jordan, into the land which the 
Lord our God giveth us. 

30 But* Sihon king of Heshbon 
would not let us pass by him: for 
the y Lord thy God hardened * his 
spirit, and made his heart obsti- 
nate, that he might deliver him 
into thy hand, as qppeareth this 
day. 

31 And the Lord said unto me, 
Behold, I have begun to give 
Sihon and his land before thee: 
begin to possess, that thou mayest 
inherit his land. 

32 Then Sihon came out against 
us, he and all his people, to fight 
at Jahaz.

34 And we took all his cities at

us:

not, nor unto any place of the 
river / Jabbok, nor unto the cities 
in the mountains, nor unto what- 
soever the Lord our God forbade

permitted to see it. 

THEN we turned, and went up 
the way to Bashan: and Og the 
king of Bashan came out against 
us, he and all his people, to battle 
at Edrei 

2 And the Lord said unto me, 
Fear him not: for I will deliver 
him, and all his people, and his 
land, into thy hand; and thou 
shalt do unto him as thou didst 
unto ° Sihon king of the Amorites, 
which dwelt at Heshbon. 

3 So the Lord our God delivered 
into our hands Og also, the king 
of Bashan, and all his people: and 
we smote him until none was left 
to him remaining. 

4 And we took all his cities at 
that time, there was not a city 
which we took not from them, 
threescore cities, h all the region of 
Argob, the kingdom of Og in 
Bashan. 

5 All these cities were fenced with 
high walls, gates, and bars; besides 
un walled towns a great many. 

6 And we utterly destroyed them, 
as we did unto Sihon king c of 
Heshbon, utterly destroying the 
men, women, and children, of 
every city. 

7 But all the cattle, and the spoil 
of the cities, we took for a prey to 
ourselves.

the Amorites the land thai was on 
this side Jordan, from the river of 
Arnon unto mount Hermon; 

9 (Which d Hermon the Sidonians 
call Sirion, and the Amorites call 
it'Shenir;} 

10 All /the cities of the plain, 
and all Gilead, and 9 all Bashan, 
unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of 
the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 

11 For h only Og king of Bashan 
remained of the remnant * of 
giants; behold, his bedstead was 
a bedstead of iron: is it not i in 
Rabbath of the children of Am- 
nion? nine cubits was the length 
thereof, and four cubits the breadth 
of it, after the cubit of a man. 

12 And this land, which we pos- 
sessed at that time, k from Aroer, 
which is by the river Arnon, and 
half mount Gilead, and the l cities 
thereof, gave I unto the Reuben- 
ites and to the Gadites. 

13 And m the rest of Gilead, and 
all Bashan, being the kingdom of 
Og, gave I unto the half tribe of 
Manasseh; all the region of Ar- 
gob, with all Bashan, which was 
called the land of giants. 

14 Jair "the son of Manasseh 
took all the country of Argob 
unto "the coasts of Geshuri and 
Maachathi, and called them after 
his own name, Bashan-havoth- 
jair, unto this day. 

15 And p I gave Gilead unto 
Machir. 

16 And unto the Eeubenites 9 and 
unto the Gadites I gave from 
Gilead even unto the river Arnon 
half the valley, and the border 
even unto the river Jabbok, 
which r is the border of the chil- 
dren of Ammon; 

17 The plain also, and Jordan, 
and the coast tliereof from s Chin- 
nereth ' even unto the sea of the 
plain, w even the salt sea, x under 
Ashdoth-pisgah eastward. 

18 % And I commanded you at 
that time, saying, The Lord your 
God hath given you this land to 
possess it: ye shall pass over armed 
before your brethren the children 
of Israel, all that are 2 meet for the 
war. 

19 But your wives, and your little 
ones, and your cattle, (for I know 
that ye have much cattle,) shall 
abide in your cities which I have 
given you;

unto you, and until they also pos-

sess the land which the Lord your 
God hath given them beyond 
Jordan: and then shall ye " return 
every man unto his possession, 
which I have given you. 

21 % And I commanded Joshua 
at that time, saying, Thine eyes 
have seen all that the Lord your 
God hath done unto these two 
kings: so shall the Lord do unto 
all the kingdoms whither thou 
passest. 

22 Ye shall not fear them: for 
the w Lord your God he shall fight. 
for you. 

23 % And I besought the Lord at 
that time, saying, 

24 O Lord God, thou hast begun 
to show thy servant ^thy great- 
ness, and thy mighty hand: for 
what y God is there in heaven or in 
earth that can do according to thy 
works, and according to thy might? 

25 I pray thee, let me go over and 
see the * good land that is beyond 
Jordan, that goodly mountain, 
and Lebanon. 

26 But the Lord was wroth with 
me for your sakes, and would not 
hear me: and the Lord said unto 
me, Let it suffice thee; speak no 
more unto me of this matter. 

27 Get thee up into the top of 
3 Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes 
westward, and northward, and 
southward, and eastward, and be- 
hold it with thine eyes: for thou 
shalt not go over this Jordan. 

28 But a charge Joshua, and 
encourage him, and strengthen 
him: for he shall go over before 
this people, and he shall cause 
them to inherit the land which 
thou shalt see. 

29 So we abode in J the valley 
over against Beth-peor.

Israel, unto the ° statutes and

may live, and go in and possess 
the land which the Lord God of 
your fathers giveth you. 

2 Ye h shall not add unto the

it, that ye may keep the command-

I command you.

Lord did because of Baal-peor: for 
all the men that followed Baal- 
peor, the Lori> thy God hath 
destroyed them from among you. 

4 But ye that did cleave unto the 
Lord your God are alive every one 
of you this day. 

5 Behold, I have taught you 
statutes and judgments, even as 
the Lord my God commanded 
me, that ye should do so in the 
land whither ye go to possess it. 

6 Keep therefore and do tliem: for 
this is your c wisdom and your un- 
derstanding in the sight of the 
nations, which shall hear all these 
statutes, and say, d Surely this 
great nation is a wise and under- 
standing people. 

7 For 6 what nation is there so 
great, who hath f God so nigh unto 
them, as the Lord our God is in 
all things that we call upon him. for? 

8 And what nation is there so 
great, that hath statutes and judg- 
ments so righteous as all this law, 
which I set before you this day? 

9 Only take heed to thyself, and 
keep 9 thy soul diligently, * lest 
thou forget the things which thine 
eyes have seen, and lest they de- 
part from thy heart all the days of 
thy life; but * teach them thy sons, 
and thy sons' sons; 

10 Specially i the day that thou 
stoodest before the Lord thy God 
in Horeb, when the Lord said 
unto me, Gather me the people 
together, and I will make them 
hear my words, that they may 
learn to fear me all the days that 
they shall live upon the earth, and 
that they may teach their children. 

11 And ye came near and stood 
under the mountain; and the 
mountain burned with fire unto 
the 1 midst of heaven, with dark- 
ness, clouds, and thick darkness. 

12 And the Lord spake unto you 
out of the midst of the fire: ye 
heard the voice of the words, but 
saw no similitude; 2 only ye heard 
a voice. 

13 And he declared unto you his 
covenant, which he commanded 
you to perform, even ten com- 
mandments; and he wrote them 
upon two tables of stone. 

14 % And the Lord commanded 
me at that time to teach you stat- 
utes and judgments, that ye might 
do them in the land whither ye 
go over to possess it.

that the Lord spake unto you in 
Horeb out of the midst of the fire,) 

16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and 
make you a graven image, the 
similitude of any figure, m the like- 
ness of male or female, 

17 The likeness of any beast that 
is on the earth, the likeness of any 
winged fowl that flieth in the ah, 

18 The likeness of any thing that 
creepeth on the ground, the like- 
ness of any fish that is in the waters 
beneath the earth: 

19 And lest thou n lift up thine 
eyes unto heaven, and when thou 
seest the sun, and the moon, and 
the stars, even ° all the host of 
heaven, shouldest be driven to 
worship them, and serve them, 
which the Lord thy God hath 
divided 3 unto all nations under 
the whole heaven. 

20 But the Lord hath taken you, 
and brought you forth out of the 
iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to 
be unto him a people of inherit- 
ance, as ye are this day. 

21 Furthermore, the Lord was 
angry with me for your sakes, and 
sware that I should not go over 
Jordan, and that I should not go 
in unto that good land which the 
Lord thy God giveth thee for an 
inheritance; 

22 But v I must die in this land, 
I must not go over Jordan: but 
ye shall go over, and possess that 
good land. 

23 Take heed unto yourselves, 
lest ye forget the covenant of the 
Lord your God, which he made 
with you, and make you a graven 
image, or the likeness of any thing, 
which the Lord thy God hath for- 
bidden thee. 

24 For q the Lord thy God is a 
consuming fire, even r a jealous 
God. 

25 1f When thou shalt beget 
children, and children's children, 
and ye shall have remained long 
in the land, and shall corrupt 
yourselves, and make a graven im- 
age, or the likeness of any thing, 
and s shall do evil in the sight of 
the Lord thy God, to provoke him 
to anger; 

26 I 'call heaven and earth to 
witness against you this day, that 
ye shall soon utterly perish from 
off the land whereunto ye go over 
Jordan to possess it; ye shall not 
prolong your days upon it, but 
shall utterly be destroyed.

27 And the Lord u shall scatter 
you among the nations, and ye 
shall be left few in number among 
the heathen, whither the Lord 
shall lead you. 

28 And v there ye shall serve 
gods, the work of men's hands, 
wood and stone, which neither see, 
nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 

29 But w if from thence thou 
shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou 
shalt find him, if thou seek him 
with all thy heart and with all thy 
soul. 

30 When thou art in tribulation, 
and all these things 4 are come 
upon thee, x even in the latter days, 
if thou y turn to the Lord thy God, 
and shalt be obedient unto his 
voice; 

31 (For the Lord thy God is * a 
merciful God;) he will not forsake 
thee, neither destroy thee, nor 
forget the covenant of thy fathers 
which he sware unto them. 

32 For ° ask now of the days 
that are past, which were before 
thee, since the day that God 
created man upon the earth, and 
ask from b the one side of heaven 
unto the other, whether there 
hath been any such thing as this 
great thing is, or hath been heard 
like it? 

33 Did ever people hear the voice 
of God speaking out of the midst 
of the fire, as thou hast heard, and 
five? 

34 Or hath God assayed to go and 
take him a nation from the midst 
of another nation, by temptations, 
by signs, and by wonders, and by 
war, and by a mighty hand, and 
by a stretched-out arm, and by 
great terrors, according to all that 
the Lord your God did for you in 
Egypt before your eyes? 

35 Unto thee it was showed, that 
thou mightest know that the Lord 
he is God; there c is none else beside 
him. 

36 Out d of heaven he made thee 
to hear his voice, that he might 
instruct thee: and upon earth he 
showed thee his great fire; and 
thou heardest his words out of the 
midst of the fire. 

37 And because he loved thy 
fathers, therefore he chose their 
seed after them, and brought thee 
out in his sight with his mighty 
power out of Egypt; 

38 To drive out nations from 
before thee greater and mightier 
than thou art, to bring thee in, to

cities on this side Jordan, toward 
the sun-rising; 

42 That the slayer might flee 
thither, which should kill his 
neighbour unawares, and hated 
him not in times past; and that 
fleeing unto one of these cities he 
might live: 

43 Namely, * Bezer in the wilder-

Reubenites; and Ramoth inGilead, 
of the Gadites; and Golan in 
Bashan, of the Manassites.

Israel:

dren of Israel, after they came 
forth out of Egypt,

which I speak in your ears this 
day, that ye may learn them, and

2 The "Lord our God made a 
covenant with us in Horeh. 

3 The Lord b made not this cove- 
nant with our fathers, but with us, 
even us, who are all of us here alive 
this day. 

4 The c Lord talked with you 
face to face in the mount, out of 
the midst of the fire, 

5 (I d stood between the Lord 
and you at that time, to show you 
the word of the Lord; for 6 ye were 
afraid by reason of the fire, and 
went not up into the mount;) 
saying, 

6 f I/am the Lord thy God, 
which brought thee out of the 
land of Egjrpt, from the house 
of 2 bondage. 

7 Thou * shalt have none other 
gods before me. 

8 Thou h shalt not make thee 
any graven image, or any likeness 
of any thing that is in heaven above, 
or that is in the earth beneath, or 
that is in the waters beneath the 
earth : 

9 Thou shalt not bow down thy- 
self unto them, nor serve them: 
for I the Lord thy God am a 
jealous God, * visiting the iniquity 
of the fathers upon the children 
unto the third and fourth genera- 
tion of them that hate me, 

10 And i showing mercy unto 
thousands of them that love me 
and keep my commandments. 

11 Thou k shalt not take the 
nanie of the Lord thy God in vain: 
for the Lord will not hold him 
guiltless that taketh his name in 
vain. 

12 Keep l the sabbath day to 
sanctify it, as the Lord thy God 
hath commanded thee. 

13 Six m days thou shalt labour, 
and do all thy work; 

14 But the seventh day is n the 
sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it 
thou shalt not do any work, thou, 
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor 
thy man-servant, nor thy maid- 
servant, nor thine ox, nor thine 
ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy 
stranger that is within thy gates; 
that thy man-servant and thy 
maid-servant may rest as well as 
thou. 

15 And remember that thou wast 
a servant in the land of Egypt, and 
that the Lord thy God brought 
thee out thence through a mighty

22 <H These words the Lord spake 
unto all your assembly in the 
mount, out of the midst of the 
fire, of the cloud, and of the thick 
darkness, with a great voice; and 
he added no more: and v he wrote 
them in two tables of stone, and 
delivered them unto me. 

23 And it came to pass, when ye 
heard the voice out of the midst 
of the darkness, (for the mountain 
did burn with fire,) that ye came 
near unto me, even all the heads of 
your tribes, and your elders; 

24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord 
our God hath showed us his glory, 
and his greatness, and we have 
heard his voice out of the midst of 
the fire: we have seen this day 
that God doth talk with man, and 
he liveth. 

25 Now therefore why should we 
die? for this great fire will consume 
us: if we 3 hear the voice of the 
Lord our God any more, then we 
shall die. 

26 For w who is there o/* all flesh, 
that hath heard the voice of the 
living God speaking out of the

and * speak thou unto us all that

which I command thee, thou, and

days of thy life; 6 and that thy 
days may be prolonged.

observe to do it; that it may be 
well with thee, and that ye may

God of thy fathers hath promised 
thee, in the land that floweth with 
milk and honey.

Lord thy God with all thine 
heart, and with all thy soul, and 
with all thy might.

spoken.

son, We were Pharaoh's bond-

22 And the Lord showed signs

upon all his household, before our 
eyes: 

23 And he brought us out from 
thence, that he might bring us in, 
to give us the land which he sware 
unto our fathers.

to do all these statutes, to fear the 
Lord our God, for p our good al-

7 The Lord did not set his love 
upon you, nor choose you, because 
ye were more in number than any 
people; for ye were the fewest of 
all people ; 

8 But because the Lord loved 
you, and because he would keep 
the 9 oath which he had sworn 
unto your fathers, h hath the Lord 
brought you out with a mighty 
hand, and redeemed you out of the 
house of bondmen, from the hand 
of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 

9 Know therefore that the Lord 
thy God, he is God, 'the faithful 
God, i which keepeth covenant 
and mercy with them that love 
him and keep his commandments, 
to a thousand generations; 

10 And * repayeth them that hate 
him to their face, to destroy them: 
he will not be slack to him that 
hateth him, he will repay him to 
his face. 

11 Thou shalt therefore keep the 
commandments, and the statutes, 
and the judgments, which I com- 
mand thee this day, to do them. 

12 Wherefore it shall come to 
pass, 2 if ye hearken to these judg- 
ments, and keep and do them, 
that the Lord thy God shall keep 
unto thee the covenant and the 
mercy which he sware unto thy 
fathers: 

13 And he will z love thee, and 
bless thee, and multiply thee : he 
will also bless the fruit of thy 
womb, and the fruit of thy land, 
thy corn, and thy wine, and thine 
oil, the increase of thy kine, and 
the flocks of thy sheep, in the land 
which he sware unto thy fathers 
to give thee. 

14 Thou shalt be blessed above 
all people: there shall not be male 
or female barren among you, or 
among your cattle. 

15 And the Lord will take away 
from thee all sickness, and will put 
none of the w evil diseases of Egypt, 
which thou knowest, upon thee; 
but will lay them upon all them 
that hate thee. 

16 And thou shalt consume all 
the people which the Lord thy 
God shall deliver thee; thine eye 
shall have no pity upon them : 
neither shalt thou serve their 
gods; for that will be n & snare unto 
thee. 

17 If thou shalt say in thine 
heart, These nations are more than 
I; how can I ° dispossess them? 

18 Thou shalt not be afraid of

what the Lord thy God did unto 
Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; 

19 The great temptations which 
thine eyes saw, and the signs, and 
the wonders, and the mighty hand, 
and the stretched-out arm, where- 
by the Lord thy God brought thee 
out: so shall the Lord thy God do 
unto all the people of whom thou 
art afraid. 

20 Moreover q the Lord thy God 
will send the hornet among them, 
until they that are left, and hide 
themselves from thee, be destroyed. 

21 Thou shalt not be affrighted 
at them: for the Lord thy God is 
among r you, * a mighty God and 
terrible. 

22 And the Lord thy God will 
3 put out those nations before thee 
by little and little: thou mayest 
not consume them at once, lest 
the beasts of the field increase upon 
thee. 

23 But the Lord thy God shall 
deliver them 4 unto thee, and shall 
destroy them with a mighty de- 
struction, until they be destroyed. 

24 And 'he shall deliver their 
kings into thine hand, and thou 
shaft destroy their name from un- 
der heaven: M there shall no man 
be able to stand before thee, until 
thou have destroyed them. 

25 The graven images of their 
gods "shall ye burn with fire: thou 
shalt w not desire the silver or gold 
that is on them, nor take it unto 
thee, lest thou be z snared therein: 
for it is y an abomination to the 
Lord thy God. 

26 Neither shalt thou bring an 
abomination into thine house, lest 
thou be a cursed thing like it : but 
thou shalt utterly detest it, and 
thou shalt utterly abhor it; z for it 
is a cursed thing.

chasteneth thee. 

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the 
commandments of the Lord thy 
God, to walk in his ways, and to 
fear him. 

7 For the Lord thy God bringeth 
thee into a good land; a land of 
brooks of water, of fountains, and 
depths that spring out of valleys 
and hills ; 

8 A land of wheat, and barley, 
and vines, and fig trees, and 
pomegranates; a land x of oil olive 
and honey; 

9 A land wherein thou shalt eat 
bread without scarceness, thou 
shalt not lack any thing in it; a 
land whose stones are iron, and out 
of whose hills thou mayest dig 
brass. 

10 When 9 thou hast eaten and 
art full, then thou shalt bless the 
Lord thy God for the good land 
which he hath given thee. 

11 Beware that thou forget not 
the Lord thy God, in not keeping 
his commandments, and his judg- 
ments, and his statutes, winch I 
command thee this day: 

12 Lest h when thou hast eaten 
and art full, and hast built goodly 
houses, and dwelt therein; 

13 And when thy herds and thy 
flocks multiply, and thy silver and 
thy gold is multiplied, and all that 
thou hast is multiplied; 

14 Then * thine heart be lifted up, 
and thou J forget the Lord thy 
God, which brought thee forth out 
of the land of Egypt, from the 
house of bondage; 

15 Who *led thee through that 
great and terrible l wilderness, 
wherein were fiery serpents, and 
scorpions, and drought, where there 
was no water; m who brought thee 
forth water out of the rock of flint;

ness n with manna, which thy 
fathers knew not, that he might 
humble thee, and that he might 
prove thee, ° to do thee good at thy 
latter end; 

17 And p thou say in thine heart, 
My power and the might of mine 
hand hath gotten me this wealth. 

18 But thou shalt remember the 
Lord thy God: q for it is he that 
giveth thee power to get wealth, 
that he may establish his covenant 
which he sware unto thy fathers, 
as it is this day. 

19 And it shall be, if thou do at 
all forget the Lord thy God, and 
walk after other gods, and serve 
them, and worship them, I testify 
against you this day, that ye shall 
surely perish. 

20 As the nations which the Lord 
destroyeth before your face, r so 
shall ye perish; because ye would 
not be obedient unto the voice of 
the Lord your God. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 Moses dissuadeth thtm from the opinion 
of their own righteousness, 7 by rehears- 
ing their several rebellions : 26 his 
prayer for them. 

HEAR, Israel : Thou art to 
pass over Jordan this day, to 
go in to possess nations a greater 
and mightier than thyself, cities 
great, and b fenced up to heaven; 

2 A people great and tall, c the 
children of the Anakims, whom 
thou knowest, and of whom thou 
hast heard say, Who can stand be- 
fore the children of Anak! 

3 Understand therefore this day, 
that the Lord thy God is he which 
goeth d over before thee; as a "con- 
signing fire he shall destroy them, 
and he shall bring them down be- 
fore thy face : /so shalt thou drive 
them out, and destroy them quick- 
ly, as the Lord hath said unto 
thee. 

4 Speak 9 not thou in thine heart, 
after that the Lord thy God hath 
cast them out from before thee, 
saying. For my righteousness the 
Lord hath brought me in to pos- 
sess this land; but h for the wicked- 
ness of these nations the Lord 
doth drive them out from before 
thee. 

5 Not * for thy righteousness, or 
for the uprightness of thine heart, 
dost thou go to possess their land; 
but for the wickedness of these 
nations the Lord thy God doth 
drive them out from before thee, 
and that he may perform i the

word which the Lord sware unto 
thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacob. 

6 Understand therefore, that the 
Lord thy God giveth thee not this 
good land to possess it for thy 
righteousness; for thou art a stiff- 
necked people. 

7 % Remember, and forget not, 
how thou pro vokedst the Lord thy 
God to wrath in the wilderness: 
from k the day that thou didst de- 
part out of the land of Egypt, until 
ye came unto this place, ye have 
been rebellious against the Lord. 

8 Also l in Horeb ye provoked the 
Lord to wrath, so that the Lord 
was angry with you, to have de- 
stroyed you. 

9 When I was gone up into the 
mount to receive the tables of 
stone, even the tables of the cove- 
nant which the Lord made with 
you, then I m abode in the mount 
forty days and forty nights ; I 
neither did eat bread nor drink 
water: 

10 And the Lord delivered unto 
me two tables of stone, written 
with the finger of God: and on 
them was written according to all 
the words which the Lord spake 
with you in the mount, out of the 
midst of the fire, in the day of the 



11 And it came to pass, at the 
end of foity days and forty nights, 
that the Lord gave me the two 
tables of stone, even the tables of 
the covenant. 

12 And the Lord said unto me. 
Arise, n get thee down quickly 
from hence; for thy people which 
thou hast brought forth out of 
Egypt have corrupted themselves; 
they are "quickly turned aside out 
of the way which I commanded 
them; they have made them a 
molten image. 

13 Furthermore p the Lord spake 
unto me, saying, I have seen this 
people, and, behold, q it is a stiff- 
necked people : 

14 Let me alone, that I may de- 
stroy them, and r blot out their 
name from under heaven: and I 
will make of thee a nation mightier 
and greater than they. 

15 So I turned, and came down 
from the mount, and the mount 
burned with fire : and the two 
tables of the covenant were in my 
two hands. 

16 And I looked, and, behold, ye 
had sinned against the Lord your

God, and had made you a molten, 
calf: ye had turned aside quickly 
out of the way -which the Lord had 
commanded you. 

17 And * I took the two tables, 
and cast them out of my two 
hands, and brake them before your 
eyes. 

18 And I 'fell down before the 
Lord, as at the first, forty days 
and forty nights: I did neither eat 
bread nor drink water, because of 
all your sins, which ye sinned, in 
doing -wickedly in the sight of 
the Lord, to provoke him to 
anger. 

19 For M I -was afraid of the anger 
and hot displeasure wherewith the 
Lord was wroth against you to 
destroy you. v But the Lord 
hearkened unto me at that time 
also. 

20 And the Lord was very angry 
with Aaron to have destroyed him: 
and I prayed for Aaron also the 
same time. 

21 And w I took your sin, the calf 
which ye had made, and burnt it 
-with fire, and stamped it, and 
ground it very small, even until it 
was as small as dust: and I cast 
the dust thereof into the brook 
that descended out of the mount. 

22 And at * Taberah, and at 
Massah, and at y Kibroth-hat- 
taavah, ye provoked the Lord to 
wrath. 

23 Likewise z when the Lord 
sent you from Kadesh-barnea, say- 
ing, Go up and possess the land 
which I have given you; then ye 
rebelled against the command- 
ment of the Lord your God, and 
ye a believed him not, nor heark- 
ened to his voice. 

21 Ye b have been rebellious 
against the Lord from the day 
that I knew you 

25 Thus I fell down before the 
Lord forty days and forty nights, 
as I fell down at the first; because 
the Lord had said he would de- 
stroy you. 

26 I c prayed therefore unto the 
Lord, and said, Lord God, de- 
stroy not thy people and thine 
inheritance, which thou hast re- 
deemed through thy greatness, 
which thou hast brought forth out 
of Egypt with a mighty hand. 

27 Remember thy servants, Abra- 
ham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not 
unto the stubbornness of this peo- 
ple, nor to theh wickedness, nor to 
their sin;

CHAPTEK X. 

1 God's mercy in restoring the two tables, 
6 in continuing the priesthood, 8 in sepa- 
rating the tribe of Levi, 10 and hearken, 
ing to JJoses' suit for the people. 

AT that time the Lord said unto 
me, Hew a thee two tables of 
stone like unto the first, and come 
up unto me into the mount, and 
make b thee an ark of wood. 

2 And I will write on the tables 
the words that were in the first 
tables which thou brakest, and 
thou shalt put them in the ark. 

3 And I made an ark of c shittim 
wood, and hewed two tables oi 
stone like unto the first, and went 
up into the mount, having the two 
tables in mine hand. 

4 And d he -wrote on the tables, 
according to the first writing, the 
ten x commandments, e w^hich the 
Lord spake unto you in the mount, 
out of the midst of the fire, in /the 
day of the assembly: and the Lord 
gave them unto me. 

5 And I turned myself, and ^canie 
down from the mount, and h put 
the tables in the ark which I had 
made; i and there they be, as the 
Lord commanded me. 

6 \ And the children of Israel took 
their journey horn Beeroth J of the 
children of Jaakan to Mosera : 
there k Aaron died, and there he 
-was buried; and Eleazar his son 
ministered in the priest's office in 
his stead. 

7 From thence they journeyed 
unto Gudgodah; and from Gud- 
godah to Jotbath, a land of rivers 
of waters. 

8 If At that time the Lord sepa- 
rated the tribe of Levi, to bear the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
to stand before the Lobd to minis- 
ter unto him, and ' to bless hi his 
name, unto this daj\ 

9 Wherefore m Levi hath no part 
nor inheritance with his brethren; 
the Lord is his inheritance, ac- 
cording as the Lord thy God pro- 
mised him. 



Exhortation to fear God. 



DEUTERONOMY, XI. Blessed reward of obedience. 



10 1f And I stayed in the mount, 
according to the 2 first time, forty- 
days and forty nights; and the 
Lord hearkened unto me at that 
time also, and the Lord would not 
destroy thee. 

11 And the Lord said unto me, 
Arise, 3 take thy journey before the 
people, that they may go in and 
possess the land whichJswareunto 
their fathers to give unto them. 

12 f And now, Israel, w what doth 
the Lord thy God require of thee, 
hut to fear the Lord thy God, to 
walk in all his ways, and ° to love 
him, and to serve the Lord thy 
God with all thy heart and with 
all thy soul, 

13 To keep the commandments 
of the Lord, and his statutes, which 
I command thee this day for thy 
good? 

14 Behold, p the heaven, and the 
heaven of heavens, is the Lord's 
thy God, q the earth also, with all 
that therein is. 

15 Only the Lord had a delight 
in thy fathers to love them, and 
he chose their seed after them, 
even you above all people, as it is 
this day. 

16 Circumcise therefore r the fore- 
skin of your heart, and be no more 
stiff-necked. 

17 For the Lord your God is s God 
of gods, and 'Lord of lords, a great 
God, a mighty, and a terrible, which 
regardeth u not persons, nor taketh 
reward: 

18 He v doth execute the judg- 
ment of the fatherless and widow, 
and loveth the stranger, in giving 
him food and raiment. 

19 Love ye therefore the stranger: 
for ye were strangers in the land 
of Egypt. 

20 Thou w shalt fear the Lord thy 
God; him shalt thou serve, and to 
him shalt thou cleave, x and swear 
by his name. 

21 He * is thy praise, and he is 
thy God, that hath done for thee 
these great and terrible things 
which thine eyes have seen. 

22 Thy fathers went down into 
Egypt with threescore and ten 
persons; and now the Lord thy 
God hath made thee as the stars of 
heaven for multitude.

2 And know ye this day: for 1 
speak not with your children which 
have not known, and which have 
not seen the chastisement of the 
Lord your God, his greatness, his 
mighty hand, and his stretched- 
out arm, 

3 And his miracles, and his acts, 
which he did in the midst of Egypt 
unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, 
and unto all his land; 

4 And what he did unto the army 
of Egypt, unto their horses, and to 
their chariots; how he made the 
water of the Red sea to overflow 
them, as they pursued after you, 
and how the Lord hath destroyed 
them unto this day; 

5 And what he did unto you in 
the wilderness, until ye came into 
this place; 

6 And J what he did untoDathan 
and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the 
son of Reuben : how the earth 
opened her mouth, and swallowed 
them up, and then households, and 
their tents, and all the x substance 
that 2 was in their possession, in 
the midst of all Israel: 

7 But your eyes have seen all the 
great acts of the Lord which he 
did. 

8 Therefore shall ye keep all the 
commandments which I command 
you this day, that ye may c be 
strong, and go in and possess 
the land whither ye go to possess 
it; 

9 And d that ye may prolong your 
days in the land which the Lord 
sware unto your fathers to give 
unto them, and to their seed, 6 a 
land that fioweth with milk and 
honey. 

10 ^| For the land, whither thou 
goest in to possess it, is not as the 
land of Egypt, from whence ye 
came out, /where thou sowedst 
thy seed, and wateredst it with thy 
foot, as a garden of herbs:

to possess it, is a land of hills and

Lord your God, and to serve him 
with all your heart and with all 
your soul, 

14 That k I will give you the rain 
of your land in his due season, *the 
first rain, and the latter rain, that 
thou mayest gather in thy corn,

15 And m I will 4 send grass in thy 
fields for thy cattle, that thou 
mayest n eat, and he full. 

16 Take heed to yourselves, "that 
your heart he not deceived, and ve 
turn aside, and serve other gods,

kindled against you, and he q shut 
up the heaven, that there be no 
rain, and that the land yield not 
her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly 
from off the good land which the 
Lord giveth you. 

18 ^f Therefore shall ye lay up 
these my words in your heart and 
in your soul, and bind them for a 
sign upon your hand, that they 
may be as frontlets between your 
eyes. 

19 And ye shall r teach them your

thou sittest in thine house, and 
when thou walkest by the way, 
when thou liest down, and when 
thou risest up. 

20 And thou shalt write them

26 f Behold, c 1 set before you 
this day a blessing and a curse; 

27 A d blessing, if ye obey the 
commandments of the Lord your 
God, which 1 command you this 
day: 

28 And a e curse, if ye will not 
obey the commandments of the 
Lord your God, but turn aside out 
of the way which I command you 
this day, to go after other gods, 
which ye have not known. 

29 And it shall come to pass, 
when the Lord thy God hath 
brought thee in unto the land 
whither thou goest to possess it, 
that thou shalt put /'the blessing 
upon mount Gerizim, and the curse 
upon mount Ebal.

Jordan, by the way where the sun 
goeth down, in the land of the 
Canaanites, which dwell in the 
champaign over against Gilgai, 
beside the plains of Moreh ? 

31 For ye shall pass over Jordan 
to go in to possess the land winch 
the Lord your God giveth you, 
and ye shall possess it, and dwell 
therein. 

32 And ye shall observe to do al] 
the statutes and judgments which 
I set before you this day. 

CHAPTER XIL 

1 Monuments of idolatry are to be destroy, 
ed. 5 The place of God's service is to be 
kept. 16. 23 Blood forbidden. 17, 20, 



26 Holy things to be eaten in the holy 
place. 

THESE are the statutes and 
judgments which ye shall ob- 
serve to do in the land which the 
Lord God of thy fathers giveth 
thee to possess it, a all the days 
that ye live upon the earth. 

2 Ye 6 shall utterly destroy all the 
places wherein the nations which 
ye shall 1 possess served their gods, 
upon c the high mountains, and 
upon the hills, and under every 
green tree: 

3 And d ye shall 2 overthrow their 
altars, and break their pillars, and 
bum their groves with fire; and 
ye shall hew down the graven 
images of their gods, and destroy 
the names of them out of that 
place. 

4 Ye shall not do so unto the 
Lord your God. 

5 But unto the place which the 
Lord your God shall / choose out 
of all your tribes to put his name

there, even unto his habitation 
shall ye seek, and thither thou 
shalt come: 

6 And 9 thither ye shall bring 
your burnt offerings, and your sac- 
rifices, A and your tithes, and 
heave offerings of your hand, and 
your vows, and your free-will of- 
ferings, and the firstlings of your 
herds and of your flocks: 

7 And * there ye shall eat before 
the Lord your God, and i ye shall 
rejoice in all that ye put your 
hand unto, ye and your house- 
holds, wherein the Lord thy God 
hath blessed thee. 

8 Ye shall not do after all the 
things that we do here this day, 
every man whatsoever is right in 
his own eyes. 

9 For ye" are not as yet come to 
the rest and to the inheritance 
which the Lord your God giveth 
you. 

10 But when ye go over Jordan, 
and dwell in the land which the 
Lord your God giveth you to in- 
herit, and when he giveth you rest 
from all your enemies round about, 
so that ye dwell in safety; 

1 1 Then there shall be k a place 
which the Lord your God shall 
choose to cause his name to dwell 
there: thither shall ye bring all 
that I command you; your burnt 
offerings, and your sacrifices, your 
tithes, and the heave offering of 
your hand, and all 3 your choice 
vows which ye vow unto the Lord: 

12 And ye shall rejoice before the 
Lord your God, ye, and your sons, 
and your daughters, and your men- 
servants, and your maid-servants, 
and the Levite that is within your 
gates; forasmuch as l he hath no 
part nor inheritance with you. 
"13 Take m heed to thyself that 
thou offer not thy burnt offerings 
in every place that thou seest: 

14 But in the place which the 
Lord shall choose in one of thy 
tribes, there thou shalt offer thy 
burnt offerings, and there thou 
shalt do all that I command thee. 

15 Notwithstanding thou mayest 
kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, 
whatsoever n thy soul lusteth after, 
according to the blessing of the 
Lord thy God which he hath 
given thee: the unclean and the 
clean may eat thereof, ° as of the 
roebuck, and as of the hart. 

16 Only p ye shall not eat the

19 Take 6 heed to thyself that thou

thou livest upon the earth. 

20 f When the Lord thy God 
shall enlarge thy border, ' as he

thy God hath chosen to put his

afterwards the hand of all the 
people. 

10 And thou shalt stone him 
with stones, that he die; because 
he hath sought to thrust thee 
away from the Lord thy God, 
which brought thee out of the 
land of Egypt, from the horase of

inhabitants of that city with the

utterly, and all that is therein,

thereof every whit, for the Lord 
thy God: and it shall be p an heap

anger, and show thee mercy, and

1 God's children must not disfigure them- 
selves in mourning. 3 What may be 
eaten, and what may not, 4 of beasts, 9 
of fishes, 11 of fowls. 22 Tithes of divine 
service. 28 The third year's titlie of 
alms and charity. 

YE are ° the children of the 
Lord your God. b Ye shall 
not cut yourselves, nor make any 
baldness between your eyes for the 
dead. 

2 For c thou art an holy people unto 
the Lord thy God, and the Lord 
hath chosen thee to be a peculiar 
people unto himself, above all the 
nations that are upon the earth. 

3 f Thou d shalt not eat any 
abominable thing. 

4 These 6 are the beasts which ye 
shall eat: The ox, the sheep, and 
the goat, 

5 The hart, and the roebuck, and 
the fallow deer, and the wild goat, 
and the l pygarg, and the wild ox, 
and the chamois. 

6 And every beast that parteth 
the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft 
into two claws, and cheweth the 
cud among the beasts, that ye 
shall eat. 

7 Nevertheless these ye shall not 
eat of them that chew the cud, or 
of them that divide the cloven 
hoof; as the camel, and the hare, 
and the coney: for they chew the 
cud, but divide not the hoof; 
therefore they are unclean unto you. 

8 And the swine, because it 
divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not 
the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye 
shall not eat of their flesh, nor 
touch their dead carcase. 

9 fl These ye shall eat of all that 
are in the waters: all that have 
fins and scales shall ye eat: 

10 And whatsoever hath not fins 
and scales ye may not eat; it is 
unclean unto you.

AT the end of a every seven years 
thou shalt make a release. 
2 And this is the manner of the 
release: Every * creditor that lend- 
eth ought unto his neighbour shall 
release it; he shall not exact it of 
his neighbour, or of his brother;

3 Of b a foreigner thou may est 
exact it again: but thai which is

thee for an inheritance to possess 
it: 

5 Only if thou carefully hearken

God, to observe to do all these

saying, The seventh year, the year 
of release, is at hand; and 9 thine 
eye be evil against thy poor 
brother, and thou givest him 
nought; and * he cry unto the 
Lord against thee, and * it be sin 
unto thee. 

ID Thou shalt surely give him, 
and 3 thine heart shall not be 
grieved when thou givest unto 
him: because that k for this thing 
the Lord thy God shall bless thee 
in all thy works, and in all that 
thou puttest thine hand unto. 

11 For the poor shall never cease 
out of the land: therefore I com- 
mand thee, saying, Thou shalt 
open thine hand wide unto thy 
brother, to thy poor, and to thy 
needy, in thy land. 

12 $ And l if thy brother, an 
Hebrew man, or an Hebrew 
woman, be sold unto thee, and 
serve thee six years, then in the 
seventh year thou shalt let him go 
free from thee. 

13 And when thou sendest him 
out free from thee, thou shalt not 
let him go away empty: 

14 Thou shalt furnish him liber- 
ally out of thy flock, and out of 
thy floor, and out of thy wine-press: 
of that wherewith the Lord thy 
God hath m blessed thee thou shalt 
give unto him. 

15 And thou shalt remember 
that thou wast a bondman in the 
land of Egypt, and the Lord thy 
God redeemed thee: therefore i 
command thee this thing to-day. 

16 And it shall be, n if he say 
unto thee, I will not go away from 
thee; (because he loveth thee and 
thine house, because he is well 
with thee;) 

17 Then thou shalt take an awl, 
and thrust it through his ear unto 
the door, and he shall be thy 
servant for ever. And also unto 
thy maid-servant thou shalt do 
likewise. 

18 It shall not seem hard unto 
thee when thou sendest him away 
free from thee; for he hath been 
worth ° a double hired servant to 
thee, in serving thee six years: and 
the Lord thy God shall bless thee 
in all that thou doest. 

19 fl All p the firstling males that 
come of thy herd and of thy flock

21 And r if there be any blemish

22 Thou shalt eat it within thy

2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice

3 Thou d shalt eat no leavened

land of Egypt in haste;) that thou 
mayest remember the day when 
thou earnest forth out of the land

4 And there shall be no leavened 
bread seen with thee in all thy 
coasts seven days; neither e shall 
there any thing of the flesh, which 
thou sacrificedst the first day at 
even, remain all night until the 
morning.

Erolong his days in his kingdom, 
e, and his children, in the midst 
of Israel. 

CHAPTER XVHL 

1 The Lord is the priests 1 and the Levites' 
inheritance. 9 The abominations of the 
nations are to be avoided. 15 Christ the 
Prophet is to be heard. 

THE priests the Levites, and all 
the tribe of Levi, shall have 
no pai-t nor inheritance with Is- 
rael: they a shall eat the offerings 
of the Lord made by fire, and his 
inheritance. 

2 Therefore shall they have no 
inheritance among their brethren: 
the Lord is their inheritance, as 
he hath said unto them. 

3 <H And this shall be the priest's 
due from the people, from them 
that offer a sacrifice, whether it be 
ox or sheep; and h they shall give 
unto the priest the shoulder, and 
the two cheeks, and the maw. 

4 The c first-fruit also of thy corn, 
of thy wine, and of thine oil, and 
the first of the fleece of thy sheep, 
shalt thou give him. 

5 For the Lord thy God hath 
chosen him out of all thy tribes, 
to d stand to minister in the name 
of the Lord, him and his sons for 
ever. 

6 ^f And if a Levite come from 
any of thy gates out of all Israel, 
where he e sojourned, and come 
with all the desire of his mind 
unto the place which the Lord 
shall choose; 

7 Then he shall minister in the 
name of the Lord his God, as all 
his brethren the Levites do, which 
stand there before the Lord. 

8 They shall have like •''portions 
to eat, besides l that which cometh 
of the. sale of his patrimony. 

9 % When thou art come into the 
land which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee, 9 thou shalt not learn 
to do after the abominations of 
those nations.

12 For all that do these things 
are an abomination unto the Lord:

tions the Lord thy God doth drive 
them out from before thee. 

13 Thou shalt be 2 perfect with 
the Lord thy God. 

14 For these nations, which thou 
shalt 3 possess, hearkened unto 
observers i of times, and unto 
diviners: but as for thee, the Lord 
thy God hath not suffered thee so 
to do. 

15 % The Lord thy God will raise 
up unto thee a * Prophet from the 
midst of thee, of thy brethren, 
like unto me; unto him ye shall 
hearken; 

16 According to all that thou 
desiredst of the Lord thy God in 
Horeb, in the day of the assembly, 
saying, Let me not hear again the 
voice of the Lord my God, neither 
let me see this great fire anymore, 
that I die not. 

17 And the Lord said unto me, 
They have well spoken that which 
they have spoken. 

18 I l will raise them up a Prophet 
from among their brethren, like 
unto thee, and will '"put my words 
in his mouth; "and he shall speak 
unto them all that I shall com- 
mand him. 

19 And °it shall come to pass, 
that whosoever will not hearken 
unto my words which he shall 
speak in my name, I .will require 
it of him. 

20 But p the prophet which shall 
presume to speak a word in my 
name, which I have not com- 
manded him to speak, or Hhat 
shall speak in the name of other 
gods, even that prophet shall 
die. 

21 And if thou say in thine heart, 
Howshall we know the word which 
the Lord hath not spoken? 

22 When r a prophet speaketh in 
the name of the Lord, if the thing 
follow not, nor come to pass, that 
is the thing which the Lord hath 
not spoken, but the prophet hath 
spoken it presumptuously: thou 
shalt not be afraid of him. 



Of the cities of refuge. 



DEUTERONOMY, XIX, XX. Two witnesses required. 



CHAPTER XIX. 

1 Of the cities of refuge. 14 The land- 
mark is not to be removed. 15 Two wit- 
nesses required. 16 Punishment of a 
false witness. 

WHEN the Lord thy God hath 
cut off the nations, whose 
land the Lord thy God giveth thee, 
and thou 1 succeedest them, and 
dwellest in their cities, and in then- 
houses; 

2 Thou a shalt separate three 
cities for thee in the midst of thy 
land, which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee to possess it. 

3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, 
and divide the coasts of thy land, 
which the Lord thy God giveth 
thee to inherit, into three parts, 
that every slayer may flee thither. 

4 % And this is the case of the 
slayer which shall flee thither, that 
he may live: Whoso killeth his 
neighbour ignorantly, whom he 
hated not 2 in time past; 

5 As when a man goeth into the 
wood with his neighbour to hew 
wood, and his hand fetcheth a 
stroke with the ax to cut down 
the tree, and the 3 head slippeth 
from the 4 helve, and 5 lighteth 
upon his neighbour, that he die; 
he shall flee unto one of those cities, 
and live : 

6 Lest the avenger of the blood 
pursue the slayer, while his heart 
is hot, and overtake him, because 
the way is long, and 6 slay him ; 
whereas he was not worthy of 
death, inasmuch as he hated him 
not 7 in time past. 

7 Wherefore I command thee, 
saying, Thou shalt separate three 
cities for thee. 

8 And if the Lord thy God 6 en- 
large thy coast, as he hath sworn 
unto thy fathers, and give thee all 
the land which he promised to give 
unto thy fathers; 

9 If thou shalt keep all these com- 
mandments to do them, which I 
command thee this day, to love the 
Lord thy God, and to walk ever 
in his ways ; c then shalt thou add 
three cities more for thee, besides 
these three : 

10 That innocent blood be not 
shed in thy land, which the Lord

thee up out of the land of Egypt.

come nigh unto the battle, that 
the priest shall approach and speak 
unto the people,

Israel; ye approach this day 
unto battle against your enemies : 
let not your hearts * faint ; fear not, 
and do not 2 tremble, neither be 
ye terrified because of them ; 

4 For the Lord your God is he 
that goeth with you, c to fight for 
you against your enemies, to save 
you. 

5 If And the officers shall speak 
unto the people, saying, What man 
is there that hath built a new house, 
and hath not d dedicated it? let 
him go and return to his house, 
lest he die in the battle, and an- 
other man dedicate it. 

6 And what man is he that hath 
planted a vineyard, and hath not 
yet 3 eaten of it? let him also go 
and return unto his house, lest he 
die in the battle, and another man 
eat of it. 

7 And e what man is there that 
hath betrothed a wife, and hath 
not taken her? let him go and 
return unto his house, lest he die 
in the battle, and another man 
take her. 

8 And the officers shall speak 
further unto the people, and they 
shall say, / What man is there that is 
fearful and faint-hearted ? let him 
go and return unto his house, lest 
his brethren's heart 4 faint as well 
as his heart. 

9 And it shall be, when the 
officers have made an end of speak- 
ing unto the people, that they shall 
make captains of the armies 5 to 
lead the people. 

10 If When thou comest nigh unto 
a city to fight against it, 9 then 
proclaim peace unto it. 

11 And it shall be, if it make thee 
answer of peace, and open unto 
thee, then it shall be, that all the 
people tliat is found therein shall 
be A tributaries unto thee, and they 
shall serve thee. 

12 And if it will make no peace 
with thee, but will make war 
against thee, then thou shalt be-

thou * shalt smite every male 
thereof with the edge of the sword:

hath not drawn in the yoke ;

redeemed, /and lay not innocent 
blood 2 unto thy people of Israel's 
charge. And the blood shall be 
forgiven them. 

9 So g shall thou put away the

is right in the sight of the Lord.

shalt go in unto her, and be her 
husband, and she shall be thy wife. 

14 And it shall be, if thou have

15 % Thou k shalt not deliver unto 
his master the servant which is 
escaped from his master unto 
thee: 

16 He shall dwell with thee, even 
among you, in that place which 
he shall choose in one of thy gates, 
where it 5 liketh him best: l thou 
shalt not oppress him. 

17 % There shall be no 6 whore 
of m the daughters of Israel, nor n a 
sodomite of the sons of Israel. 

18 Thou shalt not bring the hire 
of a whore, or the price of a dog, 
into the house of the Lord thy 
God for any vow: for even both 
these are abomination unto the 
Lord thy God. 

19 % Thou ° shalt not lend upon 
usury to thy brother; usury of 
money, usury of victuals, usury of 
any thing that is lent upon usury: 

20 Unto p a stranger thou mayest 
lend upon usury; but unto thy 
brother thou shalt not lend upon 
usury: q that the Lord thy God 
may bless thee in all that thou 
settest thine hand to in the land 
whither thou goest to possess it. 

21 ^ When r thou shalt vow a 
vow unto the Lord thy God, thou 
shalt not slack to pay it: for the 
Lord thy God will surely require 
it of thee; and it would be sin in 
thee. 

22 But if thou shalt forbear to 
row, it shall be no sin in thee.

the Lord thy God, which thou 
hast promised with thy mouth.

favour in his eyes,, because he bath 
found 1 some uncleanness in her; 
then let him write lieu a Mil of 
2 divorcement, and give it in her 
hand, and send her out of his 
house. 

2 And when she is departed out 
of his house, she may go and be 
another man's wife. 

3 And if the latter husband hate 
her, and write her a bill of divorce- 
ment, and giveth it in her hand, 
and sendeth her out of his house; 
or if the latter husband die, which 
took her to be his wife; 

4 Her b former husband, which 
sent her away, may not take her 
again to be his wife, after that she 
is defiled; for that is abomination 
before the Lord: and thou shalt 
not cause the land to sin, which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee for 
an inheritance. 

5 ^f When a man hath taken a 
new wife, he shall not go out to 
war, 3 neither shall he be charged 
with any business: but he shah be 
free at home one year, and shall 
cheer e up his wife which he hath 
taken. 

6 % No man shall take the nether 
or the upper d millstone to pledge: 
for he taketh a man's life to 
pledge. 

7 If If' c a man be found stealing 
any of his brethren of the children 
of Israel, and maketh merchandise 
of him, or selleth him; then that 
thief shall die; and thou shalt put 
evil away from among you. 

8 1f Take heed in ? the plague of 
leprosy, that thou observe diligent- 
ly, and do according to all that 
the priests the Levites shaU teach 
you: as I commanded them, so ye 
shah observe to do. 

9 Remember s what the Lord 
thy God did ft unto Miriam by the 
way, after that ye were come forth

10 U When thou dost *lend thy

11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and 
the man to whom thou dost lend 
shah bring out the pledge abroad 
unto thee. 

12 And if the man be poor, thou 
shalt not Bleep with his pledge:

15 At his day "* thou shalt give 
him his hire, neither shall the sun

and 5 setteth his heart upon it! 
lest n he cry against thee unto the 
Lord, and it be sin unto thee. 

16 If The ° fathers shall not be 
put to death for the children, 
neither shall the children be put 
to death for the fathers: every man 
shall be put to death for his own 
sin. 

17 ^f Thou p shalt not pervert the 
judgment of the stranger, 'nor of 
the fatherless; nor a take a widow's 
raiment to pledge: 

18 But thou shalt remember that 
thou wast a bondman in Egypt, 
and the Lord thy God redeemed 
thee thence: therefore I command 
thee to do this thing. 

19 % When r thou cuttest down 
thine harvest in thy held, and 
hast forgot a sheaf in the field, 
thou shalt not go again to fetch 
it: it shall be for the stranger, for 
the fatherless, and for the widow: 
that the Lord thy God s may 
bless thee in all the work of thine 
hands. 

20 When thou beatest thine olive 
tree, 6 thou shalt not go over the 
boughs again: it shah be for the 
stranger, for the fatherless, and for

21 When thou gatherest the 
grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt 
not glean it 7 afterward: it shah be 
for trie stranger, for the fatherless,

22 And thou shalt remember 
that thou wast a bondman in the 
land of Egypt: therefore I com- 
mand thee to do this thing.

19 Therefore it shall be, p when

AN D it shall be, when thou art 
come in unto the land which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee for 
an inheritance, and possessest it, 
and dwellest therein, 

2 That ° thou shalt take of the 
first of all the fruit of the earth, 
which thou shalt bring of thy land 
that the Lord thy God giveth 
thee, and shalt put it in a basket, 
and shalt h go unto the place which 
the Lord thy God shall choose to

8 And the Lord brought us forth 
out of Egypt with a mighty hand,

and * with great terribleness, and 
with signs, and with wonders: 

9 And he hath brought us into 
this place, and hath given us this 
land, even i a land that fioweth 
with milk and honey. 

10 And now, behold, I have 
brought the first-fruits of the land 
which i thou, Lord, hast given 
me. And thou shalt set it before 
the Lord thy God, and worship 
before the Lord thy God: 

11 And ft thou shalt rejoice in

13 Then thou shalt say before the 
Lord thy God, I have brought 
away the hallowed things out of 
mine house, and also have given

CHAPTER XXVIT. 

1 The people are to write the law upon 
stones, and to build an altar of whole 
stones. 11 The tribes divided an Geri- 
sim and Ebal. 14 The curses pro- 
nounced on Ebal. 
AND Moses with the elders of 
Israel commanded the people, 
saying, Keep all the command- 
ments which I command you this 
day. 

2 And it shall be on the day 
when a ye shall pass over Jordan 
unto the land which the Lord thy 
God giveth thee, that 6 thou shalt 
set thee up great stones, and plas- 
ter them with plaster: 

3 And thou shalt write upon 
them all the words of this law, 
when thou art passed over, that 
thou mayest go in unto the land j 
which the Lord thy God giveth J 
thee, a land that fioweth with milk i 
and honey; as the Lord God of ' 
thy fathers hath promised thee. 

4 Therefore it shall be when ye 
be gone over Jordan, that ye shall 
set up these stones, which I com- 
mand you this day, c in mount 
Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them 
with plaster. 

5 And there shalt thou build an 
altar unto the Lord thy God, an 
altar of stones: thou d shalt not 
lift up any iron tool upon them. 

6 Thou shalt build the altar of 
the Lord thy God of whole stones ; 
and thou shalt offer burnt offerings 
thereon unto the Lord thy God : 

7 And thou shalt offer peace 
offerings, and shalt eat there, and 
rejoice before the Lord thy God. 

8 And thou shalt write upon the 
stones all the words of this law

ple the same day, saying, 

12 These shall stand /upon mount 
Gerizim to bless the people, when 
ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, 
and Levi, and Judah, and Lisa- 
char, and Joseph, and Benjamin : 

13 And these shall stand upon 
mount Ebal 1 to curse; Reuben, 
Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, 
Dan, and Naphtali. 

14 1[ And ' the Levites shall 
speak, and say unto all the men 
of Israel with a loud voice, 

15 Cursed A be the man that mak- 
eth any graven or molten image, 
an abomination unto the Lord,

man, and putteth it in a secret 
place. *And all the people shall

AND it shall come to pass, °if 
thou shalt hearken diligently 
unto the voice of the Loan thy 
God, to observe and to do all his 
commandments which I command 
thee this day, that the Lord thy 
God will set thee 6 on high above 
all nations of the earth : 

2 And all these blessings shall 
come on thee, and c overtake thee, 
if thou shalt hearken unto the 
voice of the Lord thy God. 

3 Blessed d shalt thou be in the 
city, and blessed shalt thou be 6 in 
the field. 

4 Blessed shall be t the fruit of thy 
body, and the fruit of thy ground,

increase of thy kine, and the flocks 
of thy sheep. 

5 Blessed shall be thy basket and 
thy 1 store. 

6 Blessed 9 shalt thou be when 
thou comest in, and blessed shalt 
thou be when thou goest out. 

7 The Lord h shall cause thine 
enemies that rise up against thee 
to-be smitten before thy face : they 
shall come out against thee one 
way, and flee before thee seven 
ways. 

8 The Lord shall i command the 
blessing upon thee in thy 2 store- 
houses, and in all that thou i set- 
test thine hand unto; and he 
shall bless thee in the land which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee. 

9 The k Lord shall establish thee 
an holy people unto himself, as he 
hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt 
keep the commandments of the 
Lord thy God, and walk in his 
ways. 

10 And all people of the earth 
shall see that thou art l called by 
the name of the Lord ; and they 
shall be afraid of thee. 

II And '"the Lord shall make 
thee plenteous 3 in goods, in the 
fruit of thy 4 body, and in the fruit 
of thy cattle, and in the fruit 
of thy ground, in the land which 
the Lord sware unto thy fathers 
to give thee. 

12 The Lord n shall open unto 
thee his good treasure, the heaven 
to give the rain unto thy land in 
his season, and to bless all the

thou shaltbe above only, and thou 
shalt not be beneath; if that thou

of the Lord thy God, which I 
command thee this day, to ob- 
serve and to do them: 

14 And ° thou shalt not go aside 
from any of the words which I 
command thee this day, to the 
right hand or to the left, to go after 
other gods to serve them. 

15 ^f But it shall come to pass, p if 
thou wilt not hearken unto the 
voice of the Lord thy God, to 
observe to do all his command- 
ments and his statutes, which I 
command thee this day, that all 
these curses shall come upon thee,

18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy

20 The Lord shall send upon thee 
cursing, r vexation, and s rebuke, 
in all that thou settest thine hand 
unto 5 for to do, until thou be 
destroyed, and until thou perish 
quickly; because of the wicked- 
ness of thy doings, whereby thou 
hast forsaken me. 

21 The Lord shall make * the 
pestilence cleave unto thee, until 
he have consumed thee from off

possess it. 

22 The u Lord shall smite thee 
with a consumption, and with a 
fever, and with an inflammation, 
and with an extreme burning, and

of thy land powder and dust : 
from heaven shall it come down 
upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 

25 The " Lord shall cause thee to

unto all fowls of the air, and unto

shall fray them away. 

27 The Lord will smite thee with 
the * botch of Egypt, and with 
the y emerods, and with the scab, 
and with the itch, whereof thou 
canst not be healed. 

28 The Lord shall smite thee 
with madness, and blindness, and 
astonishment of heart : 

29 And thou shalt grope at noon- 
day, as the blind gropeth in dark- 
ness, and thou shalt not prosper in 
thy ways: and thou shalt be only 
oppressed and spoiled evermore, 
and no man shall save thee. 

30 Thou * shalt betroth a wife, 
and another man shall lie with 
her: thou shalt build an house, 
and thou shalt not dwell therein : 
thou shalt plant a vineyard, and 
shalt not 8 gather the grapes 
thereof. 

31 Thine ox shall be slain before 
thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat 
thereof: thine ass sliall be violently 
taken away from before thy face, 
and 9 shall not be restored to thee : 
thy sheep shall be given unto thine 
enemies, and thou shalt have none 
to rescue them. 

32 Thy sons and thy daughters 
shall be given unto another people, 
and thine eyes shall look, and fail 
with longing for them all the day 
long: and there shall be no might 
in thine hand. 

33 The a fruit of thy land, and 
all thy labours, shall a nation 
which thou knowest not eat up; 
and thou shalt be only oppressed 
and crushed alway: 

34 So that thou shalt be mad for 
the sight of thine eyes which thou 
shalt see. 

35 The Lord shall smite thee in 
the knees, and in the legs, with a 
sore botch that cannot be healed, 
from the sole of thy foot unto the 
top of thy head. 

36 The Lord shall b bring thee, 
and c thy king which thou shalt 
set over thee, unto a nation which 
neither thou nor thy fathers have 
known; and d there shalt thou 
serve other gods, wood and stone. 

37 And thou shalt become e an 
astonishment, a proverb, / and 
a by -word, among all nations 
whither the Lord shall lead thee.

J consume it. 

39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, 
and dress them, but shalt neither 

I drink of the wine, nor gather the

; them. 

40 Thou shalt have olive trees 
[ throughout all thy coasts, but thou 
j shalt not anoint thyself with the 
| oil; for thine olive shall cast his 
I fruit. 

41 Thou shalt beget sons and

very low. 

44 He shall lend to thee, and thou 
Bhalt not lend to him:-? he shall be 
the head, and thou shalt be the 
taH. 

45 Moreover all these curses shall 
come upon thee, and shall pursue 
thee, and overtake thee, till thou 
be destroyed; because thou heark- 
enedst not unto the voice of the 
Lord thy God, to keep his com- 
mandments and his statutes which 
he commanded thee: 

46 And they shall be upon thee 
for k a sign, and for a wonder, and 
upon thy seed for ever. 

47 Because l thou servedst not the

with gladness of heart, for the 
abundance of all things; 

48 Therefore shalt thou serve 
thine enemies, which the Lord 
shall send against thee, in hunger,

thou trustedst, throughout all thy 
land: and he shall besiege thee in 
all thy gates, throughout all thy 
land, which the Lord thy God 
hath given thee. 

53 And s thou shalt eat the fruit 
of thine own u body, the flesh of 
thy sons and of thy daughters, 
which the Lord thy God hath 
given thee, in the siege, and in the 
straitness, wherewith thine ene-

among you, and very delicate, his 
eye shall be evil toward his bro- 
ther, and toward the wife of his 
bosom, and toward the remnant of 
his children which he shall leave: 

55 So that he will not give to any 
of them of the flesh of his children 
whom he shall eat: because he hath 
nothing left him in the siege, and 
in the straitness, wherewith thine 
enemies shall distress thee in all 
thy gates. 

56 The tender and delicate woman 
among you, which would not ad- 
venture to set the sole of her foot 
upon the ground for delicateness 
and tenderness, her eye shall be 
evil toward the husband of her 
bosom, and toward her son, and 
toward her daughter, 

57 And ' toward her 15 young one 
that cometh out from between her 
feet, and toward her children which 
she shall bear: for she shall eat

thee in thy gates.

book of this law, them will the 
Lord 16 bring upon thee, until thou 
be destroyed. 

62 And ye shall be left few in 
number, whereas ye were x as the 
stars of heaven fcoc multitude ; be- 
cause thou wouldest not obey the 
voice of the Lord thy God. 

63 And it shall come to pass, that 
as the Lord y rejoiced over you to 
do you good, and to multiply you; 
so the Lord s will rejoice over you 
to destroy you, and to bring you to 
nought ; and ye shall be plucked 
from off the land whither thou 
goest to possess it. 

64 And the Lord a shall scatter 
thee among all people, from the 
one end of the earth even unto 
the other; and there thou shalt 
serve other gods, which neither 
thou nor thy fathers have known, 
even wood and stone. 

65 And b among these nations 
shalt thou find no ease, neither 
shall the sole of thy foot have rest: 
but c the Lord shall give thee 
there a trembling heart, and fail- 
ing of eyes, and sorrow of mind : 

66 And thy life shall hang in 
doubt before thee ; and thou shalt 
fear day and night, and shalt have 
none assurance of thy life : 

67 In d the morning thou shalt 
say, Would God it were even! and 
at even thou shalt say, Would God 
it were morning! for the fear of 
thine heart wherewith thou shalt 
fear, and for the sight of thine 
eyes which thou shalt see. 

68 And the Lord e shall bring 
thee into Egypt again with ships, 
by the way whereof I spake unto 
thee, Thou shalt see it no more 
again: and 1T there ye shall be sold 
unto your enemies for bondmen 
and bondwomen, and no man 
shall buy you.

heareth the words of this curse, 
that he bless himself in his heart, 
saying, m I shall have peace, though 
I walk n in the 4 imagination of 
mine heart, ° to add 5 drunkenness 
to thirst: 

20 The p Lord will not spare him,

and r his jealousy shall smoke 
against that man, and all the 
curses that are written in this book

heaven. 

21 And the Lord s shall separate 
him unto evil out of all the tribes 
of Israel, according to all the curses 
of the covenant that 6 are written 
in this book of the law: 

22 So that the generation to come 
of your children that shall rise up 
after you, and the stranger that 
shall come from a far land, shall 
say, when they see the plagues of 
that land, and the sicknesses 
1 which the Lord hath laid upon it; 

23 And that the whole land there- 
of is brimstone, { and salt, and 
burning, that it is not sown, nor 
beareth, nor any grass groweth 
therein, "like the overthrow of 
Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, 
and Zeboim, which the Lord 
overthrew in his anger, and in 
his wrath; 

24 Even all nations shall say, 
Wherefore ° hath the Lord done 
thus unto this land? what meaneth 
the heat of this great anger? 

25 Then men shall say, Because 
they have forsaken the covenant 
of the Lord God of their fathers, 
which he made with them when 
he brought them forth out of the 
land of Egypt: 

26 For they went and served 
other gods, and worshipped them, 
gods whom" they knew not, and 
8 whom he had not 9 given unto 
them: 

27 And the anger of the Lord 
was kindled against this land, w to 
bring upon it all the curses that 
are written in this book:

1 Great mercies promised unto the peni- 
tent. 11 TJte commandment is manifest. 
15 Death and life are set before tlie Is- 
raelites. 

AND a it shall come to pass, 
when b all these things are 
come upon thee, the blessing and 
the curse, which I have set before 
thee, and c thou shalt call them to 
mind among all the nations 
whither the Lord thy God hath 
driven thee, 

2 And shalt d return unto the 
Lord thy God, and shalt obey his 
voice, according to all that I com- 
mand thee this day, thou and thy 
children, with all thine heart, 
and with all thy soul; 

3 That 6 then the Lord thy God 
will turn thy captivity, and have 
compassion upon thee, and wili 
return and / gather thee from all 
the nations, whither the Lord thy 
God hath scattered thee. 

4 If 9 any of thine be driven out 
unto the outmost parts of heaven, 
from thence will the Lord thy 
God gather thee, and from thence 
will he fetch thee: 

5 And the Lord thy God will 
bring thee into the land which 
thy fathers possessed, and thou 
shalt possess it; and he will do 
thee good, and multiply thee 
above thy fathers. 

6 And A the Lord thy God will 
circumcise thine heart, and the 
heart of thy seed, to love the Lord 
thy God with all thine heart, and 
with all thy soul, that thou mayest 
live. 

7 And the Lord thy God will put 
all these curses upon thine ene- 
mies, and on them that hate 
thee, which persecuted thee. 

8 And thou shalt return, 'and 
obey the voice of the Lord, and 
do all his commandments, which 
I command thee this day. 

9 And the Lord thy God will 
make thee plenteous in every 
work of thine hand, in the fruit of 
thy body, and in the fruit of thy

cattle, and in the fruit of » thy 
land, for good: for the Lord wiil 
again i rejoice over thee for good, 
as he rejoiced over thy fathers; 

10 If thou shalt hearken unto 
the voice of the Lord thy God, to 
keep his commandments and his 
statutes which are written in this 
hook of the law, and if thou turn 
unto the Lord thy God with all 
thine heart, and with all thy soul. 

11 ^f For this commandment 
which I command thee this day, 
it is k not hidden from thee, 
neither is it far off: 

12 It l is not in heaven, that thou 
shouldest say, "Who shall go up for 
us to heaveD, and bring it unto 
U*, that we may hear it, and do it? 

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, 
that thou shouldest say, Who shall 
go over the sea for us, and bring it 
unto us, that we may hear it, and 
doit? 

14 But the word is very nigh unto 
thee, in thy mouth, and in thy 
heart, that thou mayest do it. 

15 ^f See, m I have set before thee 
this day life and good, and death 
and evil; 

16 In that I command thee this 
day to love the Lord thy God, to 
walk in his ways, and to keep his 
commandments, and his statutes, 
and his judgments, that thou 
mayest live and multiply: and the 
Lord thy God shall bless thee in 
the land whither thou goest to 
possess it. 

17 But if thine heart turn away, 
so that thou wilt not hear, but 
shalt be drawn away, and worship 
other gods, and serve them; 

18 I H denounce unto you this 
day, that ye shall surely perish, 
and that ye shall not prolong your 
daj's upon the land whither thou 
passest over Jordan to go to 
possess it. 

19 I call heaven and earth to 
record this day against you, that I 
have set before you life and death, 
blessing and cursing: therefore 
choose life, that both thou and 
thy seed may live; 

20 That thou mayest love the 
Lord thy God, and that thou 
mayest obey his voice, and that 
thou mayest cleave unto him; for 
he is thy ° life, and the length of 
thy days; that thou mayest dwell 
in the land which the Lord sware 
unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to 
Isaac, and to Jacob, p to give 
them.

CHAPTEE XXXI. 

1 Moses encourageth the people, and 
Joshua: 9 he delivers the law to the 
priests, to read it every seventh year to 
the people. 19 God giveth Moses a song 
to testify against the people. 23 Joshua 
receiveth a charge. 

AND Moses went and spake 
these words unto all Israel. 

2 And he said unto them, I a am 
an hundred and twenty years old 
this day; I can no more b go out 
and come in: also the Lord hath 
said unto me, c Thou shalt not go 
over this Jordan. 

3 The Lord thy God, d he will go 
over before thee, and he will 
destroy these nations from before 
thee, and thou shalt possess them: 
and Joshua, he shall go over before 
thee, as the Lord hath said. 

4 And the Lord shall do unto 
them e as he did to Sihon and to 
Og, kings of the Amorites, and 
unto the land of them, whom he 
destroyed. 

5 And / the Lord shall give them 
up before your face, that ye may 
do unto them according unto all 
the commandments which I have 
commanded you. 

6 Be s strong, and of a good 
courage, h fear not, nor be afraid 
of them: for the Lord thy God, 
he * it is that doth go with thee ; 
he i will not fail thee, nor forsake 
thee. 

7 f And Moses called unto 
Joshua, and said unto him in the 
sight of all Israel, Be k strong, and 
of a good courage: for thou must 
go with this people unto the land 
which the Lord hath sworn unto 
their fathers to give them; and 
thou shalt cause them to inherit 
it. 

8 And the Lord, l he it is that 
doth go -before thee; m he will be 
with thee, he will not fail thee, 
neither forsake thee : fear not, 
neither be dismayed. 

9 If And Moses wrote this law, 
and n delivered it unto the priests 
the sons of Levi, which ° bare the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
and unto all the elders of Israel. 

10 And Moses commanded them, 
saying, At the end of every seven 
years, in the solemnity of v the 
year of release, 2 in the feast of 
tabernacles, 

11 When all Israel is come r to 
appear before the Lord thy God 
in the place which he shall choose^ 
thou * shalt read this law before all 
Israel in their hearing. 



Moses encourageth 



DEUTERONOMY, XXXJX the people and Joshua. 



12 Gather ' the people together, 
men, and women, and children, 
and thy stranger that is -within 
thy gates, that they may hear, 
and that they may learn, and 
fear the Lokd your God, and 
observe to do all the words of this 
law: 

13 And that their children, which 
have u not known any thing, v may 
hear, and leam to fear the Lord 
your God, as long as ye live in the 
land whither ye go over Jordan 
to possess it. 

14 ^[ And the Lord said unto 
Moses, w Behold, thy days approach 
that thou must die: call Joshua, 
and present yourselves in the 
tabernacle of the congregation, 
that I may give him a charge. 
And Moses and Joshua went, and 
presented themselves in the taber- 
nacle of the congregation. 

15 And z the Lord appeared in 
the tabernacle in a pillar of a 
cloud: and the pillar of the cloud 
stood over the door of the 
tabernacle. 

16 1f And the Lord said unto 
Moses, Behold, thou shalt l sleep 
with thy fathers; and this people 
will y rise up, and * go a whoring 
after the gods of the strangers of 
the land whither they go to be 
among them, and will ° forsake 
me, and break my covenant 
which I have made with them. 

17 Then my anger shall be 
kindled against them in that day, 
and 6 1 will forsake them, and I 
will c hide my face from them, 
and they shall be devoured, and 
many evils and troubles shall 
2 befall them; so that they will 
say in that day, d Are not these 
evils come upon us, because our 
God w 6 not among us? 

18 And I will surely hide my 
face in that day for all the evils 
which they shall have wrought, 
in that they are turned unto other 
gods, 

19 Now therefore write ye this 
song for you, and teach it the 
children of Israel: put it in their 
mouths, that this song may be a 
witness for me against the children 
of Israel. 

20 For when I shall have brought 
them into the land which I sware 
unto their fathers, that floweth 
with milk and honey; and they 
shall have eaten and tilled them- 
selves, / and waxen fat; then will 
they turn unto other gods, and

21 And it shall come to pass, 
when many evils and troubles are 
befallen them, that this song shall 
testify 3 against them as a witness; 
for it shall not be forgotten out of 
the mouths of their seed: for g I 
luiow their imagination h which 
4 they go about, even now, before 
I have brought them into the 
land which I sware. 

22 Moses therefore wrote this 
song the same day, and taught it 
the children of Israel. 

23 And he gave Joshua the son 
of Nun a charge, and said, * Be 
strong, and of a good courage: for 
thou shalt bring the children of 
Israel into the land which I sware 
unto them: and I will be with thee. 

24 ^ And it came to pass, when 
Moses had made an end of writing 
the words of this law in a book, 
until they were finished, 

25 That Moses commanded the 
Levites, which bare the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord, saying, 

26 Take this book of the law, 
and i put it in the side of the ark 
of the covenant of the Lord your 
God, that it may be there for a 
witness against thee. 

27 For k I know thy rebellion, and 
thy l stiff neck: behold, while I am 
yet alive with you this day, ye 
have been rebellious against the 
Lord; and how much more after 
my death! 

23 Gather unto me all the elders 
of your tribes, and your officers, 
that I may speak these words in 
their ears, m and call heaven and 
earth to record against them. 

29 For I know that after my 
death ye will utterly n corrupt 
yourselves, and turn aside from the 
way which I have commanded 
you; and evil will befall you in the 
latter days; because ye will do 
evil in the sight of the Lord, to 
provoke him to anger through the 
work of your hands. 

30 And Moses spake in the ears 
of all the congregation of Israel 
the words of this song, until they 
were ended.

The song of Moses. 



2 My 6 doctrine shall drop as the 
rain, my speech shall distil as the 
dew, c as the small rain upon the 
tender herb, and as the showers 
upon the grass: 

3 Because I will publish the 
name of the Lord: ascribe ye 
greatness unto our God. 

4 Re is the Rock, <* his work is 
perfect; for 6 all his ways are 
judgment: / a God of truth, and 
without 9 iniquity, just and right 
is he. 

5 x They have corrupted them- 
selves, 2 their spot is not the spot of 
his children: they are a perverse 
and crooked generation. 

6 Do ye thus h requite the Lord, 
foolish people and unwise? It* 
not he 4 thy father thai i hath 
bought thee? hath he not made 
thee, and established thee? 

7 Remember the days of old, 
consider the years of 3 many 
generations: ask thy father, and 
he will show thee; thy elders, and 
they will tell thee. 

8 When the Most High * divided 
to the nations their inheritance, 
when he l separated the sons of 
Adam, he set the bounds of the 
people according to the number 
of the children of Israel: 

9 For m the Lord's portion is his 
people; Jacob is the 4 lot of his 
inheritance. 

10 He found him in a desert land, 
and in the waste howling wilder- 
ness; he 6 led him about, he n in- 
structed him, he ° kept him as the 
apple of his eye. 

11 As an eagle stirreth up her 
nest, fluttereth over her young, 
spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh 
them, beareth them on her wings; 

12 So the Lord alone did lead 
him, and there was no strange god 
with him. 

13 He p made him ride on the 
high places of the earth, that he 
might eat the increase of the fields; 
and he made him to suck honey 
out q of the rock, and oil out of the 
flinty rock; 

14 Butter of kine, and milk of 
sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams 
of the breed of Bashan, and goats, 
with r the fat of kidneys of wheat; 
and thou didst drink the 6 pure 
blood of the grape. 

15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and 
kicked : thou art waxen fat, thou 
art grown thick, thou art cov- 
ered with fatness: then he for- 
sook * God which made him, and

lightly esteemed the u Rock of his 
salvation. 

16 They provoked him to jealousy 
with strange gods, with abomina- 
tions provoked they him to anger. 

17 They sacrificed unto devils, 

6 not to God; to gods whom they 
knew not, to new gods that came 
newly up, whom your fathers 
feared not. 

18 Of the Rock that begat thee 
thou art unmindful, and hast for- 
gotten God that formed thee. 

19 And when the Lord saw it, he 

7 abhorred them, because of the 
provoking of his sons and of his 
daughters. 

20 And he said, I will hide my 
face from them, I will see what 
their end shall be: for they are a 
very froward generation, children 
in " whom is no faith. 

21 They have moved me to 
jealousy with that which is not 
God; they have provoked me to 
anger *" with their vanities : and 
I * will move them to jealousy 
with those which are not a people; I 
will provoke them to anger with a 
foolish nation.

mountains.

them; I will spend mine arrows 
upon them. 

24 They shall be burnt with hunger,

also send the teeth of beasts upon 
them, with the poison of serpents

they understood this, thai they 
would consider their latter end! 

30 How should c one chase a thou- 
sand, and two put ten thousand 
to flight, except their Eock d had 
sold them, and the Loed had shut 
them up? 

31 For their rock is not as our 
Eock, even e our enemies them- 
selves being judges. 

32 For their vine u is of the vine 
of Sodom, and of the fields of 
Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes 
of gall, their clusters are bitter: 

33 Their wine is the poison of 
dragons, and the cruel venom of 
asps. 

34 Is not this f laid up in store 
with me, and sealed up among my 
treasures? 

35 To 9 me behngeth vengeance 
and recompence; their foot shall 
slide in due time: for the day of 
their calamity is at hand, and the 
things that shall come upon them 
make haste. 

36 For the Lord shall judge his 
people, and h repent himself for 
his servants, when he seeth that 
their 15 power is gone, and time is 
none shut up, or left. 

37And he shall say, * Where are 
their gods, their rock in whom they 
trusted; 

38 Which did eat the fat of their 
sacrifices, and drank the wine of 
their drink offerings? let them rise 
up and help you, and be 16 your 
protection. 

39 See now that I, even I, am he, 
and there i is no god with me: * I 
kill, and I make alive; I wound, 
and I heal: neither is there any that 
can deliver out of my hand. 

40 For I l lift up my hand to 
heaven, and say, I live for ever. 

41 If I whet my glittering sword, 
and mine hand take hold on judg- 
ment, I will render vengeance to 
mine enemies, and will reward 
them that hate me. 

42 I will make mine arrows 
drunk with blood, and my sword 
shall devour flesh; and that with 
the blood of the slain and of the 
captives, from the beginning of 
revenges m upon the enemy. 

43 17 Eejoice, n ye nations, with

der vengeance to his adversaries,

There came men unto me, but I 
wist not whence they were: 

5 And it came to pass, about the 
time of shutting of the gate, when 
it was dark, that the men went 
out : whither the men went I wot 
not: pursue after them quickly; 
for ye shall overtake them. 

6 But / she had brought them up 
to the roof of the house, and hid 
them with the stalks of flax, which 
she had laid in order upon the 
roof. 

7 And the men pursued after 
them the way to Jordan unto the 
fords: and as soon as they which 
pursued after them were gone out, 
they shut the gate. 

8 ^ And, before they were laid 
down, she came up unto them 
upon the roof; 

9 And she said unto the men, I 
know that the Lord hath given 
you the land, and that your y ter- 
ror is fallen upon us, and that all 
the inhabitants of the land 3 faint 
because of you. 

10 For we have heard how the 
Lord dried A up the water of the 
Bed sea for you, when ye came out 
of Egypt; and * what ye did unto 
the two kings of the Amorites,that 
were on the other side Jordan, 
Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly 
destroyed.

when the Lord hath given us the 
land, that ° we will deal kindly 
and truly with thee. 

15 Then she p let them down by 
a cord through the window; for 
her house was upon the town wall, 
and she dwelt upon the wall. 

16 And she said unto them, Get 
you to the mountain, lest the pur- 
suers meet you; and hide your- 
selves there three days, until the 
pursuers be returned: and after- 
ward may you go your way. 

17 And the men said unto her, 
We will he blameless q of this thine 
oath which thouhastmadeusswear: 

18 Behold, when we come into the 
land, thou shalt bind this line of 
scarlet thread in the window which 
thou didst let us down by: r and 
thou shalt G bring thy father, and 
thy mother, and thy brethren, and 
all thy father's household, home 
unto thee. 

19 And it shall be, that whosoever 
shall go s out of the doors of thy 
house into the street, his blood 
shall be upon his head, and we will 
be guiltless; and whosoever shall be 
with thee in the house, * his blood 
shall be on our head, if any hand be 
upon him. 

20 And jf thou utter this our busi- 
ness, then we will be quit of thine 
oath which thou hast made us to 
swear. 

21 And she said, According unto 
your words, so be it. And she sent 
them away, and they departed: 
and she bound the scarlet line in 
the window. 

22 And they went, and came unto 
the mountain, and abode there 
three days, until the pursuers were 
returned: and the pursuers sought 
them throughout all the way, but 
found them not. 

23 So the two men returned, and 
descended from the mountain, and 
passed over, and came to Joshua 
the son of Nun, and told him all 
things that befell them: 

24 And they said unto Joshua, 
Truly w the Lord hath delivered 
into our hands all the land; for 
even all the inhabitants of the 
country do 7 faint because of us.

from a Shittim, and came to Jor- 
dan, he and all the children of 
Israel, and lodged there before 
they passed over. 

2 And it came to pass h after three 
days, that the officers went through 
the host; 

3 And they commanded the 
people, saying, c When ye see the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord 
your God, d and the priests the 
Levites bearing it, then ye shall 
remove from your place, and go 
after it. 

4 Yet * there shall be a space 
between you and it, about two 
thousand cubits by measure: come 
not near unto it, that ye may know 
the way by which ye must go : for 
ye have not passed this way * here- 
tofore. 

5 And Joshua said unto the peo- 
ple, Sanctify / yourselves: for to- 
morrow the Lord will do wonders j 
among you. 

6 And Joshua spake unto the ' 
priests, saying, 9 Take up the ark | 
of the covenant, and pass over 
before the people. And they took 
up the ark of the covenant, and 
went before the people. 

7 ^ And the Lord said unto 
Joshua, This day will I begin to 
magnify A thee in the sight of all 
Israel, that they may know that, 
as I was with Moses, so I will be 
with thee. 

8 And thou shalt command the 
priests that bear the ark of the 
covenant, saying, When ye are 
come to the brink of the water of 
Jordan, ye shall stand still in 
Jordan. 

9 Tf And Joshua said unto the 
children of Israel, Come hither, 
and hear the words of the Lord j 
your God. 

10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye ! 
shall know that the * living God is j 
among you, and that he will with- ! 
out fail •>' drive out from before you | 
the Canaanites, and the Hittites, 
and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, 
and the Girgashites, and the Amo- 
rites, and the Jebusites. 

11 Behold, the ark of the cove- 
nant of * the Lord of all the earth 
passeth over before you into Jor- 
dan. 

12 Now therefore Hake you twelve 
men out of the tribes of Israel, out 
of every tribe a man. 

13 And it shall come to pass, as 
soon as the soles of the feet of the 
priests that bear the ark of the 



The Israelites pass over Jordan. JOSHUA, IV. Memorials of the passage set up. 



Lord, the Lord of all the earth, 
shall rest in the waters of Jordan, 
that the waters of Jordan shall be 
cut off from the waters that come 
down from above ; and they m shall 
stand upon an heap. 

14 % And it came to pass, when 
the -people removed from their 
tents, to pass over Jordan, and the 
priests bearing the n ark of the 
covenant before the people ; 

15 And as they that bare the ark 
were come unto Jordan, and tbe 
feet of the priests tbat bare the ark 
were dipped in the brim of the 
water, (for ° Jordan overfloweth 
2 all his banks p all the time of 
harvest,) 

16 That the waters which came 
down from above stood and rase 
up upon an heap very far from the 
city Adam, that is beside q Zare- 
tan: and those that came down 
toward r the sea of the plain, even 
the s salt sea, failed, and were cut 
off: and the people passed over 
right against J ericho. 

17 And the priests that bare the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord 
stood firm on dry ground in the 
midst of Jordan, c and all the 
Israelites passed over on dry ground, 
until all the people were passed 
clean over Jordan. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Twelve stones taken for a memorial out 
of Jordan: 9 twelve other stones set up 
i?i the midst thereof. 10 The people pass 
over. 14 God magnifies Joshua. 

AN D it came to pass, when all 
the people were clean passed 
over ° Jordan, that the Lord spake 
unto Joshua, saying, 

2 Take 6 you twelve men out of 
the people, out of every tribe a man, 

3 And command ye them, saying, 
Take you hence out of the midst 
of Jordan, out of the place where 
the priests' feet stood firm, twelve 
stones; and ye shall carry them 
over with you, and leave them in 
the lodging place where ye shall 
lodge this night. 

4 Then Joshua called the twelve 
men, whom he had prepared of 
the children of Israel, out of every 
tribe a man: 

5 And Joshua said unto them, 
Pass over before the ark of the 
Lord your God into the midst of 
Jordan, and take you up every 
man of you a stone upon his 
shoulder, according unto the num- 
ber of the tribes of the children of 
Israel:

6 That this may be a sign among 
you, that when c your children ask 
their fathers x in time to come, say- 
ing, "Whiat mean ye by these stones? 

7 Then ye shall answer them, 
That d the waters of Jordan were 
cut off before the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord; when it passed 
over Jordan, the waters of Jordan 
were cut off: and these stones shall 
be for a e memorial unto the chil • 
dren of Israel for ever. 

8 And the children of Israel did 
so as Joshua commanded, and took 
up twelve stones out of the midst 
of Jordan, as the Lord spake unto 
Joshua, according to the number 
of the tribes of the children of 
Israel, and carried them over with 
them unto the place where they 
lodged, and laid them down there. 

9 And Joshua ^ set up twelve 
stones in the midst of Jordan, in 
the place where the feet of the 
priests which bare the ark of the 
covenant stood : and they are there 
2 unto this day. 

10 % For the priests which bare 
the ark stood in the midst of Jor- 
dan, until every thing was finished 
that the Lord commanded Joshua 
to speak unto the people, accord- 
ing to all that Moses commanded 
Joshua: and the people hasted and 
passed over. 

11 And it came to pass, when all 
the people were clean passed over, 
that the ark of the Lord passed 
over, and the priests, in the 
presence of the people. 

12 And 9 the children of Reuben, 
and the children of Gad, and half 
the tribe of Manasseh, passed over 
armed before the children of 
Israel, as Moses spake unto them: 

13 About forty thousand 3 pre- 
pared for war passed over before 
the Lord unto battle, to the 
plains of Jericho. 

14 1) On that day the Lord 
magnified A Joshua in the sight of 
all Israel; and they feared him, as 
they feared Moses, all the days of 
his life. 

15 IT -A- 11 ^ the Lord spake unto 
Joshua, saying, 

16 Command the priests that 
bear * the ark of the testimony, 
that they come up out of Jordan. 

17 Joshua therefore commanded 
the priests, saying, Come ye up 
out of Jordan.

the covenant of the Lord were

come up out of the midst of 
Jordan, and the soles of the priests' 
feet were 4 lifted up unto the dry 
land, that the waters of Jordan 
returned unto their place, and 
5 flowed over all his banks, as they 
did before. 

19 If And the people came up out 
of Jordan on the tenth day of the 
first month, and encamped i in 
Gilgal, in the east border of 
Jericho. 

20 And those twelve stones, 
which they took out of Jordan, 
did Joshua pitch in Gilgal. 

21 And he spake unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, saying, When your 
children shall ask their fathers 6 in 
time to come, saying, What mean 
these stones? 

22 Then ye shall let your children 
know, saying, Israel came over 
this Jordan on dry land. 

23 For the Loed your God dried 
up the waters of Jordan from 
before you, until ye were passed 
over, as the Lord your God did to 
the Red sea, k which he dried up 
from before us, until we were 
gone over: 

24 That l all the people of the 
earth might know the hand of the 
Lord, that it is m mighty; that ye 
might n fear the Lord your God 
7 for ever. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Tlie Canaanites afraid. 2 Circum- 
cision is renewed. 10 The passover 
kept at Gilgal. 13 An Angel appears 
to Joshua. 

AND it came to pass, when all 
the kings of the Amorites, 
which were on the side of Jordan 
westward, and all the kings of the 
Canaanites, a which were by the 
sea, heard 6 that the Lord had 
dried up the waters of Jordan 
from before the children of Israel, 
until we were passed over, that 
their heart melted, c neither was 
there spirit in them any more, 
because of the children of Israel. 

2 % At that time the Lord said 
unto Joshua, Make thee x sharp 
knives, and circumcise again the 
children of Israel the second time. 

3 And Joshua made him sharp 
knives, and circumcised the chil- 
dren of Israel at 2 the hill of the 
foreskins. 

4 And this is the cause why 
Joshua did circumcise: d All the 
people that came out of Egypt, 
that were males, even all the men of 
war, died in the wilderness by the

Esypt. 
5" Now all the people that came 
out were circumcised; but all the 
people that were bom in the 
wilderness by the way as they 
came forth out of Egypt, them, they 
had not circumcised. 

6 For the children of Israel 
walked 6 forty years in the wilder- 
ness, till all the people that were 
men of war, which came out of 
Egypt, were consumed, because 
they obeyed not the voice of the 
Lord: unto whom the Lord sware 
that /he would not show them 
the land which the Lord sware 
unto their fathers that he would 
give us, a land that fioweth with 
milk and honey. 

7 And 9 then children, whom he 
raised up in their stead, them 
Joshua circumcised: for they were 
uncircumcised, because they had 
not circumcised them by the way. 

8 And it came to pass, 3 when 
they had done circumcising all 
the people, that they abode in 
their places in the camp h till they 
were whole. 

9 And the Lord said unto 
Joshua, This day have I rolled 
away * the reproach of Egypt from 
off you. Wherefore the name of 
the place is called 4 Gilgal unto 
this day. 

10 ^1 And the children of Israel 
encamped in Gilgal, and kept the 
passover •>' on the fourteenth day 
of the month at even in the plains 
of Jericho. 

11 And they did eat of the old 
corn of the land on the morrow 
after the passover, unleavened 
cakes, and parched corn in the 
self-same day. 

12 ^f And the manna ceased on 
the morrow after they had eaten 
of the old com of the land; neither 
had the children of Israel manna 
any more; but they did eat of the 
fruit of the land of Canaan that 
year. 

13 ^T And it came to pass, when 
Joshua was by Jericho, that he 
lifted up his eyes and looked, and, 
behold, there stood k a man over 
against him with his sword drawn 
in his hand: and Joshua went 
unto him, and said unto him, Art 
thou for us, or for our adversaries? 

14 And he said, Nay; but as 
5 captain of the host of the Lord 
am I now come. And Joshua

15 And the captain of the Lord's

CHAPTEE VL 

1 Jericho shut up. 8 The city compassed 
six days. 20 The walls fall down. 22 
Ra,hab is saved. 26 The rebuilder of 
Jericho cursed. 

NOW Jericho * was straitly shut 
up hecause of the children of 
Israel: none went out, and none 
came in. 

2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, 
See, a I have given into thine 
hand Jericho, and the king there- 
of, and the mighty men of valour. 

3 And ye shall compass the city, 
all ye men of war, and go round 
about the city once. Thus shalt 
thou do six days. 

4 And seven priests shall bear 
before the ark seven b trumpets of 
rams' horns: and the seventh day 
ye shall compass the city seven 
times, and c the priests shall blow 
with the trumpets. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that 
when they make a long blast with 
the ram's horn, and when ye hear 
the sound of the trumpet, all the 
people shall shout with a great 
shout; and the wall of the city 
shall fall down 2 fiat, and the 
people shall ascend up every man 
straight before him. 

6 ^ And Joshua the son of Nun 
called the priests, and said unto 
them, Take up the ark of the 
covenant, and let seven priests 
bear seven trumpets of rams' horns 
before the ark of the Lord. 

7 And he said unto the people, 
Pass on, and compass the city, 
and let him that is armed pass on 
before the ark of the Lord. 

8 If And it came to pass, when 
Joshua had spoken unto the 
people, that the seven priests 
bearing the seven trumpets of 
rams' horns a passed on 3 before 
the Lord, and blew with the 
trumpets: and the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord followed 
them. 

9 And the armed men went

came after the ark, the priests going

11 So the ark of the Lord com- 
passed the city, going about it 
once: and they came into the 
camp, and lodged in the camp. 

12 f And Joshua rose early in the 
morning, / and the priests took up 
the ark of the Lord. 

13 And seven priests bearing 
seven trumpets of rams' horns 
before the ark of the Lord 9 went 
on continually, and blew with the 
trumpets: and the armed men 
went before them; but the rere- 
ward came after the ark of the 
Lord, the priests going on, and 
blowing with the trumpets. 

14 And the second day they 
compassed the city once, and 
returned into the camp: so they 
did six days. 

15 And it came to pass on the 
seventh day, that they rose early, 
about the dawning of the day, 
and compassed the city after the 
same manner seven times: only on 
that day they compassed the city 
seven times. 

16 And it came to pass at the 
seventh time, when the priests 
blew with the trumpets, Joshua 
said unto the people, h Shout; for 
the Lord hath given you the city. 

17 And the city shall be 6 accursed, 
even it, and all that are therein, to 
the Lord: onlyKahab the harlot 
shall live, she and all that are with 
her in the house, * because she hid 
the messengers that we sent. 

18 And ye, i in any wise keep 
yourselves from the accmsed thing, 
lest ye make yourselves accursed, 
when ye take of the accursed 
thing, and make the camp of 
Israel a curse, * and trouble it. 

19 But all the silver, and gold, 
and vessels of brass and iron, are 
7 consecrated unto the Lord: they 
shall come into the treasury of the 
Lord. 

20 So the people shouted when 
the priests blew with the tnrmpets: 
and it came to pass, when the 
people heard the sound of the 
trumpet, and the people shouted 
with a great shout, that l the wall 
fell down 8 flat, so that the people 
went up into the city, every man 
straight before him, and they took 
the city. 



Jericho destroyed. 



JOSHUA, vn. 



The Israelites smitten at Ai. 



21 And they m utterly destroyed 
all that was in the city, both man 
and woman, young and old, and 
ox, and sheep, and ass, with the 
edge of the sword. 

22 But Joshua had said unto the 
two men that had spied out the 
country, Go into the harlot's house, 
and bring out thence the woman, 
and all that she hath, n as ye sware 
unto her. 

23 And the young men that were 
spies went in, and brought out 
Rahab, ° and her father, and her 
mother, and her brethren, and all 
that she had; and they brought 
out all her 9 kindred, and left 
them without the camp of Israel. 

24 And they burned the city with 
fire, and all that was therein: only 
the silver, and the gold, and the 
vessels of brass and of iron, they 
put into the treasury of the house 
of the Lord. 

25 And Joshua saved Eahab the 
harlot alive, and her father's 
household, and all that she had; 
and ^she dwelleth in Israel even 
10 unto this day; because she hid 
the messengers which Joshua sent 
to spy out Jericho. 

26 tf And Joshua adjured them at 
that time, saying, q Cursed be the 
man before the Lord that riseth 
up and buildeth this city Jericho: 
he shall lay tbe foundation thereof 
in his first-born, and in his 
youngest son shall he set up the 
gates of it. 

27 So r the Lord was with 
Joshua; and his 8 fame was noised 
throughout all the country. 

CHAPTER VH. 

1 Achan' s trespass. 2 TJie Israelites 
smitten at Ai. 6 Joshua's complaint: 
10 God instructs him what to do. 16 
Achan taken by lot: 19 his confession: 
24 he and all that he had destroyed in 
the valley of Achor. 

BUT the children of Israel com- 
mitted a trespass in the 
accursed thing: a for l Achan, the 
son of Carmi, the son of 2 Zabdi, 
the son of Zerah, of the tribe of 
Judah, took of the accursed thing: 
and the anger of the Lord was 
kindled against the children of 
Israel. 

2 And Joshua sent men from 
Jericho to Ai, which is beside 
Beth-aven, on the east side of 
Beth-el, and spake unto them, 
saying, Go up and view the 
country. And the men went up 
and viewed Ai.

3 And they returned to Joshua, 
and said unto him, Let not all the 
people go up; but let 3 about two 
or three thousand men go up and 
smite Ai; and make not all the 
people to labour thither; for they 
are but few. 

4 So there went up thither of the 
people about three thousand men: 
and h they fled before the men of 
Ai 

5 And the men of Ai smote of 
them about thirty and six men: 
for they chased them from before 
the gate even unto Shebarim, and 
smote them 4 in the going down: 
wherefore c the hearts of the 
people melted, and became as 
water. 

6 If And Joshua d rent his clothes, 
and fell to the earth upon his face 
before the ark of the Lord until 
the eventide, he and the elders of 
Israel, and e put dust upon theii 
heads. 

7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord 
God, wherefore f hast thou at all 
brought this people over Jordan, 
to deliver us into the hand of the 
Amorites, to destroy us ? would to 
God we had been content and 
dwelt on the other side Jordan! 

8 O Lord, what shall I say, when 
Israel turneth their 6 backs before 
their enemies! 

9 For the Canaanites and all the 
inhabitants of the land shall hear 
of it, and shall environ us round, 
and g cut off our name from the 
earth : and A what wilt thou do 
unto thy great name ? 

10 ^ And the Lord said unto 
Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore 
6 liest thou thus upon thy face ? 

11 Israel hath sinned, and they 
have also transgressed my cove- 
nant which I commanded them : 
for » they have even taken of the 
accursed thing, and have also 
stolen, and ^ dissembled also, and 
they have put it even among their 
own stuff. 

12 Therefore h the children of 
Israel could not stand before their 
enemies, but turned their backs 
before their enemies, because they 
were * accursed : neither will I be 
with you 'any more, except ye de- 
stroy the accursed from among 
you. 

13 Up, "* sanctify the people, and 
say, Sanctify n yourselves against 
to-morrow: for thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, There is an accursed 
thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: 



AcJian's trespass. 



JOSHUA, VHI. 



God encourages Joshua. 



thou canst not stand before thine 
enemies, until ye take away the 
accursed thing from among you, 

14 In the morning therefore ye 
shall be brought according to your 
tribes: and it shall be, that the 
tribe which ° the Lord taketh 
shall come according to the fami- 
lies thereof ' and the family which 
the Lord snail take shall come by 
households; and the household 
which the Lord shall take shall 
come man by man. 

15 And p it shall be, that he that 
is taken with the accursed thing 
shall be burnt with fire, he and all 
that he hath: because he hath 
transgressed the covenant of the 
Lord, and because he 2 hath 
wrought 7 folly in Israel. 

16 ^1 So Joshua rose up early in 
the morning, and brought Israel 
by their tribes; and the tribe of 
Judah was taken: 

17 And he brought the family of 
Judah ; and he took the family of 
the Zarhites : and he brought the 
family of the Zarhites man by man; 
and Zabdi was taken: 

18 And he brought his household 
man by man; and r Achan, the 
son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the 
son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, 
was taken. 

19 And Joshua said unto Achan, 
My son, give, s I pray thee, glory to 
the Lord God of Israel, ' and make 
confession unto him; and tell me 
now what thou hast done ; hide it 
not from me. 

20 And Achan answered Joshua, 
and said, Indeed I have sinned 
against the Lord God of Israel, 
and thus and thus have I done: 

21 When I saw among the spoils 
a goodly Babylonish garment, and 
two hundred shekels of silver, and 
a 8 wedge of gold of fifty shekels 
weight, then I "coveted them, and 
took them; and, behold, they are 
hid in the earth in the midst of 
my tent, and the silver under it. 

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and 
they ran unto the tent; and, be- 
hold, it was hid in his tent, and the 
silver under it. 

23 And they took them out of 
the midst of the tent, and brought 
them unto Joshua, and unto all 
the children of Israel, and 9 laid 
them out before the Lord. 

24 And Joshua, and all Israel 
with him, took Achan the son of 
Zerah, and the silver, and the gar- 
ment, and the wedge of gold, and

unto ■ the valley of Achor. 

25 And Joshua said, w Why hast 
thou troubled us? the Lord shall 
trouble thee this day. x And all 
Israel stoned him with stones, and 
burned them with fire, after they 
had stoned them with stones. 

26 And they y raised over him a 
great heap of stones unto this day. 
So * the Lord turned from the 
fierceness of his anger. Where- 
fore the name of that place was 
caUed, ° The valley of 10 Achor, 
unto this day. 

CHAPTER VIII. 
1 God encourages Joshua. 3 The strata- 
gem whereby Ai was taken. 29 The king 
thereof hanged. 30 Joshua builds an 
altar, writes the law on stones, and pro- 
nounces blessings and cursings. 

AN D the Lord said unto Joshua, 
Fear * not, neither be thou 
dismayed: take all the people of 
war with thee, and arise, go up to 
Ai: see, & I have given into thy 
hand the lung of Ai, and his peo- 
ple, and his city, and his land: 

2 And thou shalt do to Ai and 
her king as thou didst unto c Jeri- 
cho and her king: only d the spoil 
thereof, and the cattle thereof, 
shall ye take for a prey unto your- 
selves: lay thee an ambush for the 
city behind it. 

3 ^ So Joshua arose, and all the 
people of war, to go up against Ai: 
and Joshua chose out thirty thou- 
sand mighty men of valour, and 
sent them away by night. 

4 And he commanded them, say- 
ing, Behold, e ye shall lie x in wait 
against the city, even behind the 
city: go not veiy far from the city, 
but be ye all ready: 

5 And I, and all the people that 
are with me, will approach unto 
the city: and it shall come to pass, 
when they come out against us, 
as at the first, that / we will flee 
before them, 

6 (For they will come out after 
us,) till we have 2 drawn them 
from the city; for they will say, 
They flee before us, as at the first: 
therefore we will flee before them. 

7 Then ye shall rise up from the 
ambush, and seize upon the city: 
for the Lord your God will deliver 
it into your hand. 

8 And it shall be, when ye have 
taken the city, that ye shall set 
the city on fire: according to the 



A i taken by stratagem, 



JOSHUA, YELL 



and destroyed. 



commandment of the Lord shall 
ye do. ° See, I have commanded 
you. 

9 Joshua therefore sent them 
forth: and they went to he in 
ambush, and abode between Beth- 
el and Ai, on the west side of Ai : 
but Joshua lodged that night 
among the people. 

10 And Joshua h rose up early in 
the morning, and numbered the 
people, and went up, he and the 
elders of Israel, before the people 
to Ai 

11 And all the people, even the 
people of war that were with him, 
went up, and drew nigh, and came 
before the city, and pitched on the 
north side of Ai: now there teas a 
valley between them and Ai. 

12 And he took about five thou- 
sand men, and set them to lie in 
ambush * between Beth-el and Ai, 
on the west side 3 of the city. 

13 And when they had set the 
people, even all the host that was 
on the north of the city, and i their 
liers in wait on the west of the 
city, Joshua went that night into 
the midst of the valley. 

14 And it came to pass, when the 
king of Ai saw it, that they hasted, 
and rose up early, and the men of 
the city went out against Israel to 
battle, he and all his people, at a 
time appointed, before the plain : 
but he wist i not that there were 
liers in ambush against him be- 
hind the city. 

15 And Joshua and all Israel 
made * as if they were beaten be- 
fore them, and fled l by the way of 
the wilderness. 

16 And all the people that were 
in Ai were called together to pur- 
sue after them : and they pursued 
after Joshua, and were drawn 
away m from the city. 

17 And there was not a man left 
in Ai or Beth-el that went not out 
after Israel : and they left the city 
open, and pursued after Israel. 

18 And the Lord said unto 
Joshua, Stretch out the spear that 
is in thy hand toward Ai ; for n I 
will give it into thine hand. And 
Joshua stretched out the spear 
that he had in his hand toward the 
city. 

19 And the ambush arose quickly 
out of their place, and they ran as 
soon as he had stretched out his 
hand: and they entered into the 
city, and took it, and hasted and 
set the city on fire.

20 And when the men of Ai 
looked behind them, they saw, and, 
behold, the smoke of the city as- 
cended up to heaven, and they 
had no 6 power to flee this way or 
that way: and the people that fled 
to the wilderness turned back upon 
the pursuers, 

21 And when Joshua and all 
Israel saw that the ambush had 
taken the city, and that the smoke 
of the city ascended, then they 
turned again, and slew the men of 
Ai. 

22 And the other issued out of 
the city against them; so they 
were in the midst of Israel, some 
on this side, and some on that 
side: and they smote them, so that 
they let ° none of them remain or 
escape. 

23 And the king of Ai they took 
alive, and brought him to Joshua. 

24 And it came to pass, when 
Israel had made an end of slaying 
all the inhabitants of Ai in the 
field, in the wilderness wherein 
they chased them, and when they 
were all fallen on the edge of the 
sword, until they were consumed, 
that all the Israelites returned 
unto Ai, and smote it with the 
edge of the sword. 

25 And so it was, that all that fell 
that day, both of men and women, 
were twelve thousand, even all the 
men of Ai. 

26 For Joshua drew not his hand 
back, wherewith he stretched out 
the spear, until he had utterly de- 
stroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 

27 Only p the cattle, and the spoil 
of that city, Israel took for a prey 
unto themselves, according unto 
the word of the Lord which he 
commanded Joshua. 

28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and 
made it an 9 heap for ever, even sl 
desolation unto ^this day. 

29 And s the king of Ai he hanged 
on a tree until eventide : * and as 
soon as the sun was down, Joshua 
commanded that they should take 
his carcase down from the tree, 
and cast it at the entering of the 
gate of the city, and u raise thereon 
a great heap of stones, that remain- 
eth unto this day. 

30 IT Then Joshua ■ built an altar 
unto the Lord God of Israel w in 
mount Ebal, 

31 As Moses the servant of the 
Lord commanded the children of 
Israel, as it is written in the " book 
of the law of Moses, an altar of 



The law read on mount Ebal. 



JOSHUA, IX. 



The fraud of the Gibeonites. 



whole stones, over which no man 
hath lift up any iron: and y they 
offered thereon burnt offerings 
unto the Lord, and sacrificed 
peace offerings. 

32 And *he wrote there upon the 
stones a copy of the law of Moses, 
which he wrote in the presence of 
the children of Israel. 

33 And all Israel, and their elders, 
and officers, and their judges, stood 
on this side the ark and on that 
side before the priests the Levites, 
which a bare the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord, as well h the 
stranger, as he that was born 
among them; half of them over 
against mount Gerizim, and half 
of them over against mount Ebal ; 
as c Moses the servant of the Lord 
had commanded before, that they 
should bless the people of Israel. 

34 And afterward d he read all 
the words of the law, e the bless- 
ings and cursings, according to all 
that is written in the book of the 
law. 

3 5 There was not a word of all that 
Moses commanded, which Joshua 
read not before all the congrega- 
tion of Israel, f with the women, 
and the little ones, and the stran- 
gers ff that 6 were conversant among 
them. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 Hie kings combine against Israel. 3 The 

Gibeonites, obtaining a league by craft, 

16 are condemned to perpetual bondage, 

AN D it came to pass, when all 
the kings which were on this 
side Jordan, in the hills, and in the 
valleys, and in all the coasts of 
the * great sea over against Leb- 
anon, b the Hittite, and the Amo- 
rite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, 
the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard 



2 That they c gathered themselves 
together, to fight with Joshua and 
with Israel with one x accord. 

3 ^ And when the inhabitants of 
Gibeon d heard 6 what Joshua had 
done unto Jericho and to Ai, 

4 They did work wilily, and went 
and made as if they had been am- 
bassadors, and took old sacks upon 
their asses, and / wine bottles, old, 
and rent, and bound up; 

5 And old shoes and clouted upon 
their feet, and old garments upon 
them ; and all the bread of their 
provision was dry and mouldy. 

6 And they went to Joshua 9 unto 
the camp at Gilgal, and said unto 
him, and to the men of Israel, We

were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king 
of Heshbon, and to Og king of 
Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth. 

11 Wherefore our elders and all 
the inhabitants of our country 
spake to us, saying, Take victuals 
2 with you for the journey, and go 
to meet them, and say unto them, 
We are your servants: therefore 
now make ye a league with us. 

12 This our bread we took hot 
for our provision out of our houses 
on the day we came forth to go 
imto you; but now, behold, it is 
diy, and it is mouldy: 

13 And these bottles of wine 
which we filled were new; and, 
behold, they be rent: and these 
our garments and our shoes are 
become old by reason of the very 
long journey. 

14 And 3 the men took of their 
victuals, and " asked not counsel at 
the mouth of the Lord. 

15 And Joshua ° made peace 
with them, and made a league 
with them, to let them five: and 
the princes of the congregation 
sware unto them. 

16 | And it came to pass, at the 
end of three days after they had 
made a league with them, that 
they heard that they were their 
neighbours, and that they dwelt 
among them. 

17 And the children of Israel 
journeyed, and came unto their 
cities on the third day. Now 
their cities were p Gibeon, and 
Chephirah, and Beeroth, and- 
Kirjath-jearim. 

18 And the children of Israel 
smote them not, q because the 
princes of the congregation had 
sworn unto them by the Lord 
God of Israel. And all the con-

gregation murmured against the 
princes. 

19 But all the princes said unto 
all the congregation, We have 
sworn unto them by the Lord 
God of Israel: now therefore we 
may not touch them. 

20 This we will do to them; we 
will even let them live, lest r wrath 
be upon us, because of the oath 
which we sware unto them. 

21 And the princes said unto 
them, Let them live; but let them 
be 8 hewers of wood and drawers 
of water unto all the congregation; 
as the princes had promised 
them. 

22 ^ And Joshua called for them, 
and he spake unto them, saying, 
Wherefore have ye beguiled us, 
saying, We are very far from you; 
when ye dwell among us? 

23 Now therefore ye are l cursed; 
and there shall * none of you be 
freed from being bondmen, and 
hewers of wood and drawers of 
water for the house of my God. 

24 And they answered Joshua, 
and said, Because it was certainly 
told thy servants, how that the 
Lord thy God M commanded his 
servant Moses to give you all the 
land, and to destroy all the in- 
habitants of the land from before 
you, therefore " we were sore afraid 
of our lives because of you, and 
have done this thing. 

25 And now, behold, we are w in 
thine hand: as it seemeth good 
and right unto thee to do unto 
us, do. 

26 And so did he unto them, and 
delivered them out of the hand of 
the children of Israel, that they 
slew them not. 

27 And Joshua 6 made them that 
day hewers of wood and drawers 
of water for the congregation, and 
for the altar of the Lord, even 
unto this day, x in the place which 
he should choose.

how the inhabitants of Gibeon 
had made peace with Israel, and 
were among them; 

2 That they d feared greatly, 
because Gibeon was a great city, 
as one of the l royal cities, and 
because it was greater than Ai, 
and all the men thereof were 
mighty. 

3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king 
of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham 
king of 6 Hebron, and unto Piram 
king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia 
king of Lachish, and unto Debir 
king of Eglon, saying, 

4 Come up unto me, and help 
me, that we may smite Gibeon: 
for /it hath made peace with 
Joshua and with the children of 
Israel. 

5 Therefore the five kings of the 
Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, 
the king of Hebron, the king of 
Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the 
king of Eglon, 9 gathered them- 
selves together, and went up, they 
and all their hosts, and encamped 
before Gibeon, and made war 
against it. 

6 *][ And the men of Gibeon sent 
unto Joshua A to the camp to 
Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand 
from thy servants; come up to us 
quickly, and save us, and help us: 
for all the kings of the Amorites 
that dwell in the mountains are 
gathered together against us. 

7 ISo Joshua ascended from Gilgal, 
he, and * all the people of war 
with him, and all the mighty men 
of valour. 

8 % And the Lord said unto 
Joshua, i Fear them not: for I 
have delivered them into thine 
hand; k there shall not a man of 
them stand before thee. 

9 Joshua therefore came unto 
them suddenly, and went up from 
Gilgal all night. 

10 And the Lord l discomfited 
them before Israel, and slew them 
with a great slaughter at Gibeon, 
and chased them along the way 
that goeth up m to Beth-horon, 
and smote them to n Azekah, and 
unto Makkedah. 

11 And it came to pass, as they 
fled from before Israel, and were 
in the going down to Beth-horon, 
that ° the Lord cast down great 
stones from heaven upon them 
unto Azekah, and they died: they 
were more which died with hail- 
stones than they whom the chil- 
dren of Israel slew with the sword.

12 *fl Then spake Joshua to the 
Lord in the day when the Lord 
delivered up the Amorites before 
the children of Israel, and he said 
in the sight of Israel, p Sun, 2 stand 
thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, 
Moon, in the valley of q Ajalon! 

13 And the sun stood still, and 
the moon stayed, until the people 
had avenged themselves upon 
their enemies. r Is not this written 
in the book of 3 Jasher? So the 
sun stood still in the midst of 
heaven, and hasted not to go 
down about a whole day. 

14 And there was * no day like 
that before it or after it, that the 
Lord hearkened unto the voice of 
a man: for * the Lord fought for 
Israel 

15 If And Joshua returned, and 
all Israel with him, unto the camp 
to GilgaL 

16 But these five kings fled, and 
hid themselves in a cave at 
Makkedah. 

17 And it was told Joshua, say- 
ing, The five kings are found hid 
in a cave at Makkedah. 

18 And Joshua said, Koll great 
stones upon the mouth of the cave, 
and set men by it for to keep 
them: 

19 And stay ye not, but pursue 
after your enemies, and 4 smite 
the hindmost of them; suffer them 
not to enter into their cities: for 
the Lord your God hath delivered 
them into your hand. 

20 And it came to pass, when 
Joshua and the children of Israel 
had made an end of slaying them 
with a very great slaughter, till 
they were consumed, that the rest 
which remained of them entered 
into fenced cities. 

21 And all the people returned 
to the camp to Joshua at Makke- 
dah in peace: w none moved his 
tongue against any of the children 
of Israel. 

22 Then said Joshua, Open the 
mouth of the cave, and bring out 
those five kings unto me out of 
the cave. 

23 And they did so, and brought 
forth those five kings unto him 
out of £he cave, the king of Jeru- 
salem, the king of Hebron, the 
king of Jarmuth, the king of 
Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 

24 And it came to pass, when 
they brought out those kings unto 
Joshua, that Joshua called for all 
the men of Israel, and said unto

the captains of the men of war 
which went with him, Come near, 
put " your feet upon the necks of 
these kings. And they came 
near, and put their feet upon the 
necks of them. 

25 And Joshua said unto them, 
Fear not, w nor be dismayed; be 
strong, and of good courage: x for 
thus shall the Lord do to all your 
enemies against whom ye fight. 

26 And afterward Joshua smote 
them, and slew them, and hanged 
them on five trees : and v they 
were hanging upon the trees until 
the evening. 

27 And it came to pass at the 
time of the going down of the sun, 
that Joshua commanded, and they 
took* them down off the trees, 
and cast them into the cave 
wherein they had been hid, and 
laid great stones in the cave's 
mouth, which remain until this very 
day. 

28 f And that day Joshua took 
Makkedah, and smote it with the 
edge of the sword, and the king 
thereof he utterly destroyed, them, 
and all the souls that were therein; 
he let none remain: and he did to 
the king of Makkedah ° as he did 
unto the king of Jericho. 

29 Then Joshua passed from 
Makkedah, and all Israel with 
him, unto 6 Libnah, and fought 
against Libnah: 

30 And the Lord delivered it 
also, and the king thereof, into the 
hand of Israel; and he smote it 
with the edge of the sword, and 
all the souls that were therein: he 
let none remain in it; but did unto 
the king thereof as he did unto the 
king of Jericho. 

31 ♦][ And Joshua passed from 
Libnah, and all Israel with him, 
unto c Lachish, and encamped 
against it, and fought against it: 

32 And the Lord delivered La- 
chish into the hand of Israel, 
which took it on the second day, 
and smote it with the edge of the 
sword, and all the souls that were 
therein, according to all that he 
had done to Libnah. 

33 *i[ Then Horam king of d Gezer 
came up to help Lachish; and 
Joshua smote him and his people, 
until he had left him none re- 
maining. 

34 *fl And from Lachish Joshua 
passed unto Eglon, and all Israel 
with him; and they encamped 
against it, and fought against it:

35 And they took it on that day, 
and smote it -with the edge of the 
sword; and all the souls that were 
therein he utterly 6 destroyed that 
day, according to all that he had 
done to Lachish. 

36 And Joshua went up from 
Eglon, and all Israel with him, 
unto 'Hebron; and they fought 
against it: 

37 And they took it, and smote 
it with the edge of the sword, and 
the king thereof, and all the cities 
thereof, and all the souls that were 
therein; he left none remaining, 
according to all that he had done 
to Eglon, but destroyed it utterly, 
and all the souls that were therein. 

38 \ And Joshiia returned, and 
all Israel with him, to'Debir, and 
fought against it: 

39 And he took it, and the king 
thereof, and all the cities thereof; 
and they smote them with the 
edge of the sword, and utterly de- 
stroyed all the souls that were 
therein; he left none remaining: as 
he had done to Hebron, so he did to 
Debir, and to the king thereof; as 
he had done also to Libnah, and 
to her king. 

40 % So Joshua smote p all the 
country of the hills, and of the 
south, and of the vale, and of the 
springs, and all their kings: he 
left none remaining, but utterly 
destroyed all that breathed, as 
the Lord God of Israel h com- 
manded. 

41 And Joshua smote them from 
Kadesh-barnea * even unto i Gaza, 
and* all the country of Goshen, 
even unto Gibeon. 

42 And 'all these kings and their 
land did Joshua take at one time, 
because the Lord God of Israel 
fought for Israel. 

43 And Joshua returned, and all 
Israel with him, unto the camp to

3 And to the Canaanite on the

Amorite, and the Hittite, and the 
Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the 
mountains, e and to the Hivite 
under /Hermon 9 m the land of 
Mizpeh. 

4 And they went out, they and 
all their hosts with them, much 
people, h even as the sand that is 
upon the sea-shore in multitude, 
with horses and chariots very 
many. 

5 And when all these kings were 

1 met together, they came and 
pitched together at the waters of 
Merom, to fight against Israel. 

6 ^f And the Lord said unto 
Joshua, Be not afraid because of 
them; for to-morrow, about this 
time, will I deliver them up all 
slain before Israel : thou shalt 
hough* their horses, and burn their 
chariots with fire. 

7 So Joshua came, and all the 
people of war with him, against 
them by the waters of Merom 
suddenly ; and they fell upon 
them. 

8 And the Lord delivered them 
into the hand of Israel who smote 
them, and chased them unto 

2 great Zidon, and unto 3 Misre- 
photh-maim, and unto the valley 
of Mizpeh eastward ; and they 
smote them, until they left them 
none remaining. 

9 And Joshua did unto them as 
the Lord bade him: he houghed 
their horses, and burnt their char- 
iots with fire. 

10 ^ And Joshua at that time 
turned back, and took Hazor, and 
smote the king thereof with the 
sword: for Hazor beforetime was 
the head of all those kingdoms. 

11 And they smote all the souls 
that were therein with the edge of 
the sword, utterly destroying them: 
there was not 4 any left to breathe: 
and he burnt Hazor with fire. 

12 And all the cities of those 
kings, and all the kings of them, 
did Joshua take, and smote them 
with the edge of the sword, and he 
utterly destroyed them, i as Moses 
the servant of the Lord com- 
manded. 

13 But as for the cities that stood 
still 5 in their strength, Israel 
burned none of them, save Hazor 
only; that did Joshua burn. 

14 And all the spoil of these cities, 



Various countries 



joshua, xn. 



conquered by Joshua, 



and the cattle, the children of 
Israel took for a prey unto them- 
selves; but every man they smote 
with the edge of the sword, until 
they had destroyed them, neither 
left they any to breathe. 

15 As k the Lord commanded 
Moses his servant, so l did Moses 
command Joshua, and m so did 
Joshua; 6 he left nothing undone 
of all that the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

16 So Joshua took all that land, 
the n hills, and all the south coun- 
try, ° and all the land of Goshen, 
and the valley, and the plain, and 
the mountain of Israel, and the 
valley of the same; 

17 Even p from 7 the mount Halak, 
that goeth up to Sen, even unto 
Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon, 
under mount Hermon : and 2 all 
their kings he took, and smote 
them, and slew them. 

18 8 J oshua made war a long time 
with all those kings. 

19 There was not a city that made 
peace with the children of Israel, 
save r the Hivites, the inhabitants 
of Gibeon : all otlier they took in 
battle. 

20 For 8 it was of the Lord to 
harden their hearts, that they 
should come against Israel in bat- 
tle, that he might destroy them 
utterly, and that they might have 
no favour, but that he might de- 
stroy them, » as the Lord com- 
manded Moses. 

21 % And at that time came 
Joshua, and cut off u the Anakims 
from the mountains, from Hebron, 
from Debir, from Anab, and from 
all the mountains of Judah, and 
from all the mountains of Israel : 
Joshua destroyed them utterly with 
their cities. 

22 There was none of the Anakims 
left in the land of the children of 
Israel : only in Gaza, in * Gath, 
and w in Ashdod, there remained. 

23 So Joshua took the whole land, 
according x to all that the Lord 
said unto Moses; and Joshua gave 
it for an inheritance unto Israel 
according y to their divisions by 
their tribes. z And the land rested, 
from war.

2 Bounds of the land not yet conquered. 15 
Tlie two tribes and half, and tribe of 
Levi, excepted. 22 Balaam slain. 

NOW Joshua a was old and 
stricken in years; and the 
Lord said unto him, Thou art old 
and stricken in years, and there 
remaineth yet very much land 1 to 
be possessed. 

2 This b is the land that yet re- 
maineth: all c the borders of the 
Philistines, and all d Geshuri, 

3 From ° Sihor, which is before 
Egypt, even unto the borders of 
Ekron northward, which is counted 
to the Canaanite: /five lords of

rites: 

5 And the land of i the Giblites,

8 With whom the Reubenites and

of r the remnant of the giants: 8 for 
these did Moses smite, and cast 
them out. 

13 Nevertheless the children ot 
Israel expelled not the Geshurites, 
nor the Maachathites ; but the 
Geshurites and the Maachathites 
dwell among the Israelites until 
this day. 

14 Only { unto the tribe of Levi 
he gave none inheritance; the 
sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel 
made by fire are their inheritance, 
as he said unto them.

tribe of the children of Eeuben in- 
heritance according to their families.

river Amon, " and the city that is

22 \ Balaam b also the son of 
Beor, the 5 soothsayer, did the 
children of Israel slay with the 
sword among thern that were slain 
by them. 

23 And the border of the chil- 
dren of Beuben was Jordan, and 
the border thereof. This was the 
inheritance of the children of Reu- 
ben after their families, the cities 
and the villages thereof. 

24 ^f And Moses gave inheritance 
unto the tribe of Gad, even unto 
the children of Gad according to 
their families: 

25 And c their coast was Jazor, 
and all the cities of Gilead, d and 
hah the land of the children of 
Ammon, unto Aroer that is be- 
fore e Babbah; 

26 And from Heshbon unto Ba- 
math-mizpeh, and Betonim; and 
from Mahanaim unto the border 
of Debir; 

27 And in the valley, Beth-aram, 
and Beth-nimrah, / and Succoth, 
and Zaphon, the rest of the king- 
dom of Sihon king of Heshbon, 
Jordan and hi3 border, even unto 
the edge 9 of the sea of Chinnereth 
on the other side Jordan eastward. 

28 This is the inheritance of the 
children of Gad after their families, 
the cities, and their villages. 

29 H And Moses gave inheritance 
unto the half tribe of Manasseh: 
and this was tlie possession of the 
half tribe of the children of Manas- 
seh by their families. 

30 And their coast was from Ma- 
hanaim, all Bashan, all the king- 
dom of Og Icing of Bashan, and 
all ft all the towns of Jair, which 
are in Bashan, threescore cities: 

31 And half Gilead, and » Ash- 
taroth, and Edrei, cities of the 
kingdom of Og in Bashan, were 
pertaining unto the children of 
Machir the son of Manasseh, even 
to the one half of the children of

in the land of Canaan, tt which 
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the 
son of Nun, and the heads of the 
fathers of the tribes of the children 
of Israel, distributed for inherit- 
ance to them. 

2 By h lot was their inheritance, 
as the Lord commanded by the 
hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, 
and for the half tribe. 

3 For c Moses had given the 
inheritance of two tribes and an 
half tribe on the other side Jordan: 
but unto the Levites he gave none 
inheritance among them. 

4 For d the children of Joseph 
were two tribes, Manasseh and 
Ephraim: therefore they gave no 
part unto the Levites in the land, 
save cities to dwell in, with their 
suburbs for their cattle and for 
their substance. 

5 As c the Lord commanded 
Moses, so the children of Israel 
did, and they divided the land. 

6 ^ Then the children of Judah 
came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and 
Caleb the son of Jephunneh / the 
Kenezite said unto him, Thou 
knowest 9 the thing that the Lord 
said unto Moses the man of God 
concerning me and thee A in 
Kadesh-barnea. 

7 Forty years old was I when 
Moses the seivant of the Lord sent 
me from Kadesh-barnea to espy 
out the land; and I brought him 
word again as it was in mine heart. 

8 Nevertheless my brethren that 
went up with me made the heart 
of the people melt: but * I wholly 
followed the Lord my God. 

9 And Moses sware on that day, 
saying, Surely l the laud * whereon 
thy feet have trodden shall be 
thine inheritance, and thy chil- 
dren's for ever, because thou hast 
wholly followed the Lord my 
God. 

10 And now, behold, the Lord 
hath kept me alive, l as he said, 
these forty and five years, even 
since the Lord spake this word 
unto Moses, while the children of 
Israel 1 wandered in the wilder- 
ness: and now, lo, I am this day 
fourscore and five years old. 

11 As m yet I am as strong this 
day as I was in the day that Moses 
sent me: as my strength was then, 
even so is my strength now, for 
war, both w to go out, and to 
come in. 

12 Now therefore give me this 
mountain, whereof the Lord spake

in that day; for thou heardest in 
that day how the Anakinis were 
there, and that the cities were great 
and fenced: ° if so be the Lord 
will be with me, then p I shall he 
able to drive thern out, as the 
Lord said. 

13 And Joshua q blessed him, 
and r gave unto Caleb the son 
of Jephunneh Hebron for an 
inheritance. 

14 Hebron therefore became the 
inheritance of Caleb the son of 
Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this 
day, because that he wholly fol- 
lowed the Lord God of Israel. 

15 And s the name of Hebron 
before was Kirjath-arba; which 
Arba was a great man among the 
Anakims. 'And the land had 
rest from war.

THIS then was the lot of the 
tribe of the children of Judah 
by their families ; a even to the 
border of Edom the b wilderness 
of Zin southward was the utter- 
most part of the south coast. 

2 And their south border was 
from the shore of the salt sea, from 
the 1 bay that looketh southward: 

3 And it went out to the south 
side to 2 Maaleh-acrabbim, and 
passed along to Zin, and ascended 
up on the south side unto Kadesh- 
barnea, and passed along to Hez- 
ron, and went up to Adar, and 
fetched a compass to Karkaa: 

4 From thence it passed c toward 
Azmon, and went out unto d the 
river of Egypt; and the goings out 
of that coast were at the sea: this 
shall be your south coast. 

5 And the east border was the 
salt sea, even unto the end of 
Jordan: and their border in the 
north quarter was from the bay of 
the sea at the uttermost part of 
Jordan: 

6 And the border went up to 
Beth-hogla, and passed along by 
the north of Beth-arabah; and the 
border went up e to the stone of 
Bohan the son of Reuben: 

7 And the border went up toward 
Debir from / the valley of Achor, 
and so northward, looking toward 
GilgaL that is before tbe going up 
to Adummim, which is on the 
south side of the river: and the

of En-shemesh, and the goings 
out thereof were at 3 En-rogel: 

8 And the border went up 9 by 
the valley of the son of Hinnom 
unto the south side of the h Jebus- 
ite; the same is Jerusalem: and 
the border went up to the top of 
the moimtain that lieth before the 
valley of Hinnom westward, which 
is at the end * of the valley of 4 the 
giants northward: 

9 And the border was drawn 
from the top of the hill unto the 
fountain of the water of Nephtoah, 
and went out to the cities of 
mount Ephron; and the border 
was drawn to i Baalah, which * is 
Kirjath-jearim: 

10 And the border compassed 
from Baalah westward unto mount 
Seir, and passed along unto the 
side of mount Jearim, which is 
Chesalon, on the north side, and 
went down to Beth-shemesh, and 
passed on to l Timnah: 

11 And the border went out 
unto the side of Ekron m north- 
ward: and the border was drawn 
to Shicron, and passed along to 
mount Baalah, and went out unto 
Jabneel; and the goings out of the 
border were at the sea. 

12 And the west border was n to 
the great sea, and the coast thereof. 
This is the coast of the children of 
Judah round about according to 
their families. 

13 ^f And ° unto Caleb the son of 
Jephunneh he gave a part among 
the children of Judah, according 
to the commandment of the Lord 
to Joshua, even fi the city of Arba 
the father of Anak, which city is 
Hebron. 

14 And Caleb drove thence p the 
three sons of Anak, 5 Sheshai, and 
Ahiman, and Talmai, the children 
of Anak. 

15 And r he went up thence to 
the inhabitants of Debir: and the 
name of Debir before was Kirjath- 
sepher. 

16 And Caleb said, He that 
smitethKirjath-sepher, and taketh 
it, to him will I give Achsah my 
daughter to wife. 

17 And 'Othniel the 'son of 
Kenez, the brother of Caleb, took 
it: and he gave him Achsah his 
daughter to wife. 

18 And tt it came to pass, as she 
came unto him, that she moved 
him to ask of her father a field: 
and v she lighted off her ass; and

Caleb said unto her, What would- 
est thou? 

19 Who answered, Give me "a 
blessing; for thou hast given me a

of water. And he gave her the 
upper springs, and the nether 
springs.

3 And goeth down westward to 
the coast of Japhleti, 6 unto the 
coast of Beth-horon the nether, 
and to c Gezer: and the goings out 
thereof are at the sea. 

4 So d the children of Joseph, 
Manasseh and Ephraim, took their 
inheritance. 

5 fl And the border of the children 
of Ephraim according to their 
families was thus: even the border 
of their inheritance on the east 
side was e Ataroth-adar, / unto 
Beth-horon the upper; 

6 And the border went out to- 
ward the sea to 9 Michmethah on 
the north side ; and the border 

1 went about eastward unto Taan- 
1 ath-shiloh, and passed by it on the 

east to Janohah; 
; 7 And it went down from Jano- 
I hah to Ataroth, h and to Naarath, 
1 and came to Jericho, and went out 

at Jordan. 

8 The border went out from Tap- 
puah westward unto the * river 
Kanah; and the goings out thereof 

! were at the sea. This is the 
inheritance of the tribe of the 

1 children of Ephraim by their 
families. 

9 And the separate cities for the 
children of Ephraim were among 
the inheritance of the children of 
Manasseh, all the cities with their 
villages. 

10 And 3 they drave not out the 
Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer;

children of Manasseh the son cf 
Joseph by their families. 

3 1[ But 9 Zelophehad, the son of 
Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son 
of Machir, the son of Manasseh, 
had no sons, but daughters: and 
these are the names of his daugh- 
ters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, 
Milcah, and Tirzah. 

4 And they came near before 
Eleazar A the priest, and before 
Joshua the son of Nun, and before 
the princes, saying, » The Lord 
commanded Moses to give us an 
inheritance among our brethren. 
Therefore, according to the 2 com- 
mandment of the Lord, he gave 
them an inheritance among the 
brethren of their father. 

5 And there fell ten portions to 
Manasseh, besides the land of 
Gilead and Bashan, which were on 
the other side Jordan; 

6 Because the daughters of Manas- 
seh had an inheritance among his 
sons: and -' tbe rest of Manasseh's 
sons had the land of Gilead. 

7 <[ And the coast of Manasseh 
was from Asher to Michmethah, 
that lieth before Shechem; and the 
border went along on the right 
hand unto the inhabitants of En- 
tappuah. 

8 Now Manasseh had the land of 
3 Tappuah: but fc Tappuah on the 
border of Manasseh belonged to the 
children of Ephraim; 

9 And the coast descended l unto 
the 4 river Kanah, southward of 
the river: these m cities of Ephraim 
are among the cities of Manasseh: 
the coast of Manasseh also was on 
the north side of the river, and the 
outgoings of it were at the sea: 

10 Southward it was Ephraim's, 
and northward it was Manasseh's, 
and the sea is his border; and they 
met together in Asher on the 
north, and in Issachar on the 
east. 

11 And n Manasseh had in Issa- 
char and in Asher, °Beth-shean 
and her towns, and Bbleam and her 
towns, and the inhabitants of Dor 
and her towns, and the inhabitants 
of En-dor and her towns, and the 
inhabitants of Taanach and her 
towns, and the inhabitants of 
Megiddo and her towns, even three 
countries, 

12 Yet p the children of Manasseh 
could not drive out the inhabitants 
of those cities; but the Canaanites 
would dwell in that land. 

13 Yet it came to pass, when the

children of Israel were waxen 
strong, that they put the Canaan- 
ites to q tribute; but 6 did not 
utterly drive them out. 

14 H And r the children of Joseph 
spake unto Joshua, saying, Why 
hast thou given me but * one lot 
and one portion to inherit, seeing 
lam* a, great people, forasmuch as 
the Lord hath blessed me hitherto? 

15 And Joshua answered them, 
If thou be a great people, then get 
thee up to the wood country, and 
cut down for thyself there in the 
land of the Perizzites and of the 
6 giants, if mount Ephraim be too 
narrow for thee. 

16 And the children of Joseph 
said, The hill is not enough for us: 
and all the Canaanites that dwell 
in the land of the valley have 
chariots u of iron, both they who are 
of Beth-shean and her towns, and 
they who are v of the valley of 
Jezreel. 

17 And Joshua spake unto the 
house of Joseph, even to Ephraim 
and to Manasseh, saying, Thou 
art a great people, and hast great 
power: thou shalt not have one 
lot only: 

18 But the mountain shall be 
thine; for it is a wood, and thou 
shalt cut it down: and the out- 
goings of it shall be thine: for thou 
shalt drive out the Canaanites, 
though w they have iron chariots, 
and though they be strong. 

CHAPTER XVHL 

1 The tabernacle is set up at Shiloh. 2 The 
remainder of the land is described. 10 
and divided by lot. 11 The lot and bor- 
der of Benjamin. 21 Their cities. 

AND the whole congregation of 
the children of Israel assem- 
bled together ° at Shiloh, and 6 set 
up the tabernacle of the congre- 
gation 1 there. And the land was 
subdued before them. 

2 And there remained among the 
children of Israel seven tribes, 
which had not yet received their 
inheritance. 

3 And Joshua said unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, c How long are ye 
slack to go to possess the land, 
which the Lord God of your 
fathers hath given you? 

4 Give out from among you three 
men for each tribe: and I will send 
them, and they shall rise and go 
through the land, and describe it 
according to the inheritance of 
them; and they shall come again 
to me.

5 And they shall divide it into 
seven parts: Judah d shall abide in 
their coast on the south, and e the 
house of Joseph shall abide in then 
coasts on the north. 

6 Ye shall therefore describe the 
land into seven parts, and bring 
the description hither to me, /that I 
may cast lots for you here before 
the Lord our God. 

7 But 9 the Levites have no part 
among you; for the priesthood of 
the h Lord is their inheritance: and 
Gad, * and Reuben, and half the 
tribe of Manasseh, have received 
their inheritance beyond Jordan 
on the east, which Moses the ser- 
vant of the Lord gave them. 

8 ^ And the men arose, and went 
away: and Joshua charged them 
that went to describe the land, 
saying, Go and walk through the 
land, and describe it, and come again 
to me, that I may here cast lots for 
you before the Lord in Shiloh. 

9 And the men went and passed 
through the land, and described it 
by cities into seven parts in a book, 
and came again to Joshua to the 
host at Shiloh. 

10 And Joshua cast i lots for them 
in Shiloh before the Lord: and 
there Joshua divided the land unto 
the children of Israel according to 
their divisions. 

11 ^ And the lot of the tribe of 
the children of Benjamin came up 
according to then families: and 
the coast of their lot came forth 
between the children of Judah and 
the children of Joseph. 

12 And ''their border on the north 
side was from Jordan; and the 
border went up to the side of 
Jericho on the north side, and 
went up through the mountains 
westward; and the goings out 
thereof were at the wilderness of 
Beth-aven. 

13 And the border went over 
from thence toward Luz, to the 
side of Luz, l which is Beth-eL 
southward; and the border de- 
scended to Ataroth-adar, near the 
hill that lieth on the south side r "of 
the nether Beth-horon. 

14 And the border was drawn 
thence, and compassed the corner 
of 2 the sea southward, from the 
hill that lieth before Beth-horon 
southward ; and the goings out 
thereof were at n Kirjath-baaL 
which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of 
the children of Judah: this was the 
west quarter. 



The inheritance of Benjamin. JOSHUA, XIX. The lots of Simeon and Zebulun. 



15 And the south quarter was 
from the end of Khjath-jearim, 
and the border went out on the 
west, and went out to ° the well of 
waters of Nephtoah: 

16 And the border came down to 
the end of the mountain that Ueth 
before p the valley of the son of 
Hinnom, and which is in the valley 
of 3 the giants on the north, and 
descended to the valley of Hinnom, 
to the side of Jebusi on the south, 
and descended to * En-rogel, 

17 And was drawn from the 
north, and went forth to En-she- 
mesh, and went forth toward 
Geliloth, which is over against the 
going up of Adummim, and de- 
scended to the 2 stone of Bohan the 
son of Reuben, 

18 And passed along toward the 
side over against 5 Arabah north- 
ward, and went down unto Arabah; 

19 And the border passed along 
to the side of Beth-hoglah north- 
ward: and the outgoings of the 
border were at the north 6 bay of 
the salt sea at the south end of 
Jordan: this was the south coast. 

20 And Jordan was the border of 
it on the east side. This was the 
inheritance of the children of Ben- 
jamin, by the coasts thereof round 
about, according to their families. 

21 Now the cities of the tribe of 
the children of Benjamin accord- 
ing to their families were r Jericho, 
and * Beth-hoglah, and the valley 
of Keziz, 

22 And Beth-arabah, and Zerua- 
raim, and Beth-el, 

23 And Avim, and Parah, and 
Ophrah, 

24 And Chephar-haammonai, and 
Ophni, and 'Gaba; twelve cities 
with their villages: 

25 Gibeon, and Bamah, and 
Beeroth, 

26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, 
and Mozah, 

27 And Eekem, and Irpeel, and 
Taralah, 

28 And M Zelah, Eleph, and 
7 Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibe-

the children of Simeon according 
to their families: and then inherit- 
ance was ° within the inheritance 
of the children of Judah. 

2 And 6 they had in their inherit- 
ance c Beer-sheba, and Sheba, d and 
Moladah, 

3 And Hazar-shual, and Balah,

7 Ain, Re m m on, and Ether, and 
Ashan; four cities and their vil- 
lages : 

8 And all the villages that were 
round about these cities to Baalath- 
beer, Ramath of the south. This 
is the inheritance of the tribe of 
the children of Simeon according 
to their families. 

9 Out of the portion of the chil- 
dren of Judah was the inheritance 
of the children of Simeon: for the 
part of the children of Judah was 
too much for them: therefore the 
children of Simeon had their in- 
heritance within the inheritance 
of them. 

10 % And the third lot came up 
for the children of Zebulun accord- 
ing to their families: and the 
border of their inheritance was 
unto Sarid: 

11 And their border went up 
toward / the sea, and Maralah, 
and reached to Dabbasheth, and 
reached to the river that is g before 
Jokneam; 

12 And turned from Sarid east- 
ward toward the sun-rising unto 
the border of Chisloth-tabor, and 
then goeth out to Daberath, and 
goeth up to Japhia, 

13 And from thence passeth on 
along on the east to Gittah-hepher, 
to Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to 
Remmon- 1 methoar, to Neah; 

14 And the border compasseth it 
on the north side to Hannathon : 
and the outgoings thereof are in 
the valley of Jiphthah-el : 

15 And h Kattath, and Nahallal, 
and «'Shimron, and Idalah, and 
Beth-lehem : twelve cities with 
their villages. 

16 This is J the inheritance of the 
children of Zebulun according to 
their families, these cities with 
their villages. 

17 fl And the fourth lot came out 



The lots of Issachar,

to Issachar, for the children of 
Issachar according to their families. 

18 And their border was toward

Shunem, 

19 And Haphraim, and Shihon, 
and Anaharath, 

20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, 
and Abez,

22 And the coast reacheth n to 
Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Beth- 
shemesh; and the outgoings of their 
border were at Jordan; sixteen 
cities with their villages. 

23 This is the inheritance of the 
tribe of the children of Issachar 
according to their families, the

30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and

goeth out from thence to Hukkok, 
and reacheth to Zebulun on the 
south side, and reacheth to Asher 
on the west side, and to Judah

villages. 

39 This is the inheritance of the 
tribe of the children of Naphtali 
according to their families, the 
cities and their villages. 

40 % And the seventh lot came 
out for the tribe of the children of 
Dan according to their families. 

41 And the coast of their inherit- 
ance was z Zorah, and Eshtaol, and 
Ir-shemesh,

and Gath-rimmon, 

46 And Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, 
with the border 3 before 4 Japho. 

47 And * the coast of the children 
of Dan went out too little for them : 
therefore the children of Dan went 
up to fight against Leshem, and 
took it, and "smote it with the 
edge of the sword, and possessed 
it, and dwelt therein, and called 
Leshem, b Dan, after the name of 
Dan their father. 

48 This c is the inheritance of the 
tribe of the children of Dan accord- 
ing to their families, these cities 
with their villages. 

49 5 When they had made an end 
of dividing the land for inheritance 
by their coasts, the children of Israel 
gave an inheritance to Joshua the 
son of Nun among them: 

50 According to the word of the 
Lord, they gave him the city which 
he asked, even d Timnath-serah e in 
mount Ephraim: and he built the 
city, and dwelt therein. 

51 These 1 are the inheritances,

Joshua the son of Nun, and the 
heads of the fathers of the tribes

of the children of Israel, divided 
for an inheritance by lot 9 in Shiloh 
before the Lord, at the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation. So 
they made an end of dividing the 
country. 

CHAPTER XX. 

1 The Lord commands, 7 and the Israelites 

appoint by name, six cities of refuge. 

TH E Lord also spake unto 
Joshua, saying, 

2 Speak to the children of Israel, 
saying, Appoint a out for you cities 
of refuge, whereof I spake unto you 
by the hand of Moses: 

3 That the slayer that killeth any 
person unawares and unwittingly 
may flee thither: and they shall be 
your refuge from the avenger of 
blood. 

4 And when he that doth flee 
unto one of those cities shall stand 
at the entering of the h gate of the 
city, and shall declare his cause in 
the ears of the elders of that city, 
they shall 1 take him into the city 
unto them, and give him a place, 
that he may dwell among them. 

5 And c if the avenger of blood 
pursue after him, then they shall 
not deliver the slayer up into his 
hand; because he smote his neigh- 
bour unwittingly, and hated him 
not beforetime. 

6 And he shall dwell in that city, 
until d he stand before the congre- 
gation for judgment, and until the 
death of the high priest that shall 
be in those days: then shall the 
slayer return, and come unto his 
own city, and unto his own house, 
unto the city from whence he fled. 

7 ^ And they 2 appointed 6 Kedesh 
in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and 
Shechem / in mount Ephraim, 
and 9 Kirjath-arba, which is 
Hebron, in h the mountain of 
Judah. 

8 And on the other side Jordan 
by Jericho eastward, they assigned 
Bezer * in the wilderness upon the 
plain out of the tribe of Reuben, 
and i Ramoth in Gilead out of 
the tribe of Gad, and * Golan 
in Bashan out of the tribe of 



9 These l were the cities appointed 
for all the children of Israel, and 
for the stranger that sojourneth 
among them, that whosoever kill- 
eth any person at unawares might 
flee thither, and not die by the 
hand of the avenger of blood, un- 
til he stood before the congrega- 
tion.

the fathers of the Levites unto 
Eleazar a the priest, and unto

thereof for our cattle. 

3 And the children of Israel gave 
unto the Levites out of their in- 
heritance, at the commandment 
of the Lord, these cities and their

4 And the lot came out for the

9 H And they gave out of the 
tribe of the children of Judah, and

1 mentioned by name, 

10 Which the children of Aaron,

country of Judah, with the suburbs 
thereof round about it. 

12 But i the fields of the city, and 
the villages thereof, gave they to

children of Kohath, the Levites 
which remained of the children of

cities. 

30 And out of the tribe of Asher,

with her suburbs, 

31 Helkath with her suburbs, and 
Rehob with her suburbs; four 

32 And out of the tribe of Naph- 
tali, Kedesh b in Galilee with her 
suburbs, to be a city of refuge for 
the slayer; and Hamoth-dor with 
her suburbs, and Kartan with her 
suburbs; three cities. 

33 All the cities of the Gershon- 
ites according to their families 
were thirteen cities with their sub- 
urbs. 

34 fl And c unto the families of 
the children of Merari, the rest of 
the Levites, out of the tribe of 
Zebulun, Jokneam with her sub- 
urbs, and Kartah with her sub- 
urbs, 

35 Dimnah with her suburbs,

36 And out of the tribe of Keu-

39 Heshbon with her suburbs,

40 So all the cities for the chil. 
dren of Merari, by their families, 
which were remaining of the fami- 
lies of the Levites, were by their 
lot twelve cities. . 

41 All 9 the cities of the Levites 
within the possession of the chil- 
dren of Israel were forty and eight 
cities with their suburbs. 

42 These cities were every one 
with 4 their suburbs round about

43 % And the Lord gave unto 
Israel A all the land which he 
sware to give unto their fathers;

enemies before them; the Lord 
delivered all their enemies into 
their hand. 

45 There k failed not ought of any 
good thing which the Lord had 
spoken unto the house of Israel; 
all came to pass. 

CHAPTER XXn. 

1 Joshua dismisses the two tribes and half 
with a blessing : 10 they build the altar 
of testimony in their journey; 11 con- 
tention thereupon. 30 The deputies 
satisfied. 

THEN Joshua called the Reuben- 
ites, and the Gadites, and the 
half tribe of Manasseh, 

2 And said unto them, Ye have 
kept a all that Moses the servant 
of the Lord commanded you, b and 
have obeyed my voice in all that I 
commanded you: 

3 Ye have not left your brethren 
these many days unto this day, 
but have kept the charge of the 
commandment of the Lord your 
God. 

4 And now the Lord your God 
hath given rest unto your brethren, 
as he promised them; therefore 
now return ye, and get you unto 
your tents, and vnto the land of 
your possession, c which Moses the 
servant of the Lord gave you on 
the other side Jordan. 

5 But d take diligent heed to do 
the commandment and the law, 
which Moses the servant of the 
Lord charged you, 6 to love the 
Lord your God, and to walk in all 
his ways, and to keep his com- 
mandments, and to cleave unto 
him, and to serve him with all 
your heart, and with all your 
soul. 

6 So Joshua / blessed them, and 
sent them away: and they went 
unto their tents. 

7 1| Now to the one half of the 
tribe of Manasseh Moses had given 
possession in Bashan; 9 but unto 
the other half thereof gave Joshua 
among their brethren on this side 
Jordan westward. And when 
Joshua sent them away also unto 
their tents, then he blessed them, 

8 And he spake unto them, say- 
ing, Return with much riches unto 
your tents, and with very much 
cattle, with silver, and with gold, 
and with brass, and with iron, 
and with very much raiment: 
divide h the spoil of your enemies 
with your brethren.

the land of Canaan, to go unto 
the » country of Gilead, to the land, 
of their possession, whereof they 
were possessed, according to the 
word of the Lord by the hand of 
Moses. 

10 \ And when they came unto 
the borders of Jordan, that are in 
the land of Canaan, the children 
of Reuben, and the children of 
Gad, and the half tribe of Manas- 
seh, built there an altar by Jordan, 
a great altar to see to. 

11 f And the children of Israel 
heard.'" say, Behold, the children 
of Reuben, and the children of 
Gad, and the half tribe of Manas- 
seh, have built an altar over 
against the land of Canaan, in the 
borders of Jordan, at the passage 
of the children of Israel. 

12 And when the children of 
Israel heard of it, k the whole 
congregation of the children of 
Israel gathered themselves to- 
gether at Shiloh, to go up to war 
against them. 

13 And the children of Israel 
sent z unto the children of Reuben, 
and to the children of Gad, and 
to the half tribe of Manasseh, into 
the land of Gilead, m Phinehas the 
son of Eleazar the priest, 

14 And with him ten princes, of 
each l chief house a prince 
throughout all the tribes of Israel; 
and n each one was an head of the 
house of their father's among the 
thousands of Israel. 

15 And they came unto the 
children of Reuben, and to the 
children of Gad, and to the half 
tribe of Manasseh, unto the land 
of Gilead, and they spake with 
them, saying, 

16 Thus saith the whole congre- 
gation of the Lord, What trespass 
is this that ye have committed 
against the God of Israel, to turn 
away this day from following the 
Lord, in that ye have builded you 
an altar, ° that ye might rebel this 
day against the Lord?

little for us, from which we are 
not cleansed until this day, al- 
though there was a plague in the 
congregation of the Lord, 

18 But that ye must turn away 
this day from following the Lord? 
and it will be, seeing ye rebel 
to-day against the Lord, that

to-morrow 2 he will be wroth 
with the whole congregation of 
Israel. 

19 Notwithstanding, if the land 
of your possession be unclean, then 
pass ye over unto the land of the 
possession of the Lord, wherein 
the r Lord's tabernacle dwelleth, 
and take possession among us; 
but rebel not against the Lord, 
nor rebel against us, in building 
you an altar besides the altar of 
the Lord our God. 

20 Did * not Achan the son of 
Zerah commit a trespass in the 
accursed thing, and wrath fell on 
all the congregation of Israel? and 
that man perished not alone in 
his iniquity. 

21 f Then « the children of 
Eeuben, and the children of Gad, 
and the half tribe of Manasseh, 
answered and said unto the heads 
of the thousands of Israel, 

22 The Lord u God of gods, the 
Lord God of gods, he " knoweth, 
and Israel he shall know; if it be 
in rebellion, or if in transgression 
against the Lord, (save us not this 
day,) 

23 That we have built us an altar 
to turn from following the Lord, 
or if to offer thereon burnt offering 
or meat offering, or if to offer 
peace offerings thereon, let the 
Lord himself ^ require it; 

24 And if we have not rather 
done it for fear of this thing, say- 
ing, 2 In time to come your 
children might speak unto our 
children, saying, What have ye 
to do with the Lord God of 
Israel? 

25 For the Lord hath made 
Jordan a border between us and 
you, ye children of Reuben and 
children of Gad; ye have no part 
in the Lord: so shall your children 
make our children cease from 
fearing the Lord. 

26 Therefore we said, Let us now 
prepare to build us an altar, not 
for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: 

27 But that it may be x a witness 
between us and you, and our 
generations after us, that we 
might y do the service of the Lord 
before him with our burnt offer- 
ings, and with our sacrifices, and 
with our peace offerings; that your 
children may not say to our chil- 
dren in time to come, Ye have no 
part in the Lord. 

28 Therefore said we, that it shall 
be, when they should so say to us

Behold the pattern of the altar of

30 Tf And when Phinehas the 
priest, and the princes of the 
congregation, and heads of the 
thousands of Israel which were 
with him, heard the words that 
the children of Eeuben, and the 
children of Gad, and the children 
of Manasseh spake, 3 it pleased 
them. 

31 And Phinehas the son of 
Eleazar the priest said unto the 
children of Reuben, and to the 
children of Gad, and to the chil- 
dren of Manasseh, This day we 
perceive that the Lord is ° among 
us, because ye have not committed 
this trespass against the Lord: 
4 now ye have delivered the chil- 
dren of Israel out of the hand of 
the Lord. 

32 And Phinehas the son of 
Eleazar the priest, and the princes, 
returned from the children of 
Reuben, and from the children of 
Gad, out of the land of Gilead, 
unto the land of Canaan, to the 
children of Israel, and brought 
them word again. 

33 And the thing pleased the 
children of Israel; and the children 
of Israel b blessed God, and did not 
intend to go up against them in 
battle, to destroy the land wherein 
the children of Eeuben and Gad 
dwelt. 

34 And the children of Eeuben 
and the children of Gad called the 
altar 5 Ed: for it shall be a witness 
between us that the Lord is God.

before his death. 



2 And Joshua c called for all 
Israel, and for their elders, and for 
their heads, and for their judges, 
and for their officers, and said unto 
them, I am old and stricken in 

| age: 

3 And ye have seen all that the 
Lord your God hath done unto 

| all these nations because of you: 
> for the Lord your God is he that 
j hath fought for you. 

4 Behold, I have divided unto 
j you by lot these nations that re- 
i main, to be an inheritance for 
I your tribes, from Jordan, with all 
i the nations that I have cut off, 
; even unto the great sea 2 west- 
\ ward. 

5 And the Lord your God, d he 
I shall expel them from before you, 
! and drive them from out of your 
! sight; and ye shall possess their 
| land, e as the Lord your God hath 

promised unto you. 

6 Be ye therefore very courageous 
to keep and to do all that is 
written in the book of the law of 
Moses, /that ye turn not aside 
therefrom to the right hand or to 
the left; 

7 That ye 9 come not among 
these nations, these that remain 
among you; neither make h men- 
tion of the name of their gods, nor 
cause to swear by them, neither 
serve them, nor bow yourselves 
unto them: 

8 3 But cleave unto the Lord 
your God, as ye have done unto 
this day. 

9 * For the Lord hath driven out 
from before you great nations and 
strong: but as for you, * no man 
hath been able to stand before 
you unto this day. 

10 One / man of you shall chase 
a thousand: for the Lord your 
God, he it is that fighteth for you, 
as he hath promised you. 

11 Take good heed therefore 
unto 6 yourselves, that ye love the 
Lord your God. 

12 Else if ye do in any wise k go 
back, and cleave unto the remnant 
of these nations, even these that 
remain among you, and shall 
make marriages with them, and 
go in unto them, and they to 
you: 

13 Know for a certainty that 
the l Lord your God will no more 
drive out any of these nations from 
before you; m but they shall be 
snares and traps unto you, and 
scourges in your sides, and thorns

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 Joshua, assembling the tribes, 2 relates 
God's benefits: 14 he renews the covenant 
between God and them: 29 his age and 
death. 33 Eleazar dies. 

AND Joshua gathered all the 
tribes of Israel to a Shechem, 
and b called for the elders of Israel, 
and for their heads, and for their 
judges, and for their officers; and 
they c presented themselves before 
God. 

2 And Joshua said unto all the 
people, Thus saith the Lord God 
of Israel, d Your fathers dwelt on 
the other side of the flood in old 
time, even Terah, the father of 
Abraham, and the father of Nahor: 
and they e served other gods. 

3 And / I took your father 
Abraham from the other side of 
the flood, and led him throughout 
all the land of Canaan, and multi- 
plied his seed, and 9 gave him 
Isaac. 

4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob 
and Esau: and I gave unto h Esau 
mount Sen, to possess it; but 
Jacob and his children went 
down into Egypt. 

5 I *' sent Moses also and Aaron, 
and 3 1 plagued Egypt, according 
to that which I did among them:

afterward I brought you 



6 And I * brought your fathers 
out of Egypt: and ye came unto 
the sea; l and the Egyptians pur- 
sued after your fathers with 
chariots and horsemen unto the 
Eed sea. 

7 And when they cried unto the 
Lord, he put darkness between 
you and the Egyptians, and 
brought the sea upon them, and 
covered them; and your eyes have 
seen what I have done in Egypt: 
and ye dwelt in the wilderness a 
long season. 

8 And I brought jx>u into the 
land of the Amorites, which dwelt 
on tbe other side Jordan; "'and 
they fought with you: and I gave 
them into your hand, that ye 
might possess their land; and 
I destroyed them from before 
you. 

9 Then n Balak the son of Zippor, 
king of Moab, arose, and warred 
against Israel, and ° sent and called 
Balaam the son of Beor to curse 
you: 

10 But p I would not hearken 
unto Balaam; therefore q he blessed 
you still : so I delivered you out of 
his hand. 

11 And ye went over Jordan, 
and came unto Jericho : and the 
men of Jericho fought against 
you, the Amorites, and the Periz- 
zites, and the Canaanites, and 
the Hittites, and the Girgashites, 
tbe Hivites, and the Jebusites; 
and I delivered them into your 
band. 

12 And r I sent the hornet before 
you, which drave them out from 
before you, even the two longs of 
the Amorites; but not * with thy 
sword, nor with thy bow. 

13 And I have given you a land 
for which ye did not labour, and 
cities { which ye built not, and ye 
dwell in them; of the vineyards 
and oliveyards which ye planted 
not do ye eat. 

14 ^ Now M therefore fear the 
Lord, and serve him in " sincerity 
and in truth: and put w away tbe 
gods which your fathers served on 
the other side of the flood, and 
in x Egypt; and serve ye the 
Lord. 

15 And if it seem evil unto you 
to serve the Lord, choose you this 
day whom ye will serve ; whether

as for me and my house, we will 
serve the Lord. 

16 And the people answered and 
said, God forbid that we should 
forsake the Lobd, to serve other 
gods; 

17 For the Lord our God, he it is 
that brought us up and our fathers 
out of the land of Egypt, from the 
house of bondage, and which did 
those great signs in our sight, 
and preserved us in all the way 
wherein we went, and among all 
the people through whom we 



18 And the Lord drave out from 
before us all the people, even the 
Amorites which dwelt in the land: 
therefore will we also serve the Lord; 
for he is our God. 

19 And Joshua said unto the 
people, a Ye cannot serve the 
Lord : for he is an 6 holy God ; he 
is a jealous God ; e he will not for- 
give your transgressions nor your 
sins. 

20 If d ye forsake the Lord, and 
serve strange gods, e then he will 
turn and do you hurt, and con- 
sume you, after that he hath done 
you good. 

21 And the people said unto 
Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the 
Lord. 

22 And Joshua said unto the 
people. Ye are witnesses against 
yourselves that / ye have chosen 
you the Lord, to serve him. And 
they said, We are witnesses. 

23 Now therefore 9 put away, said 
he, the strange gods which are 
among you, and incline your heart 
unto the Lord God of Israel. 

24 And the people said unto 
Joshua, The Lord our God will 
we serve, and his voice will we obey. 

25 So Joshua A made a covenant 
with the people that day, and set 
them a statute and an ordinance 
in Shechem. 

26 And Joshua * wrote these 
words in the book of the law of 
God, and took ^a great stone, 
and * set it up there under an oak 
that was by the sanctuary of the 
Lord. 

27 And Joshua said unto all the 
people, Behold, this stone shall be 
a { witness unto us; for m it hath 
heard all the words of the Lord 
which he spake unto us : it shall 
be therefore a witness unto you, 
lest ye deny your God.

and Hebron taken. 21,27 Some Canaan- 
ites yet left. 

NOW after the death of Joshua 
it came to pass, that the chil- 
dren of Israel asked a the Lord, 
saying, Who shall go up for us 
against the Canaanites first, to 
fight against them? 

2 And the Lord said, b Judah 
shall go up: behold, I have deli- 
vered the land into his hand. 

3 And Judah said unto Simeon 
his brother, Come up with me into 
my lot, that we may light against 
the Canaanites; and I likewise will 
go with thee into thy lot. ° So 
Simeon went with him. 

4 And Judah went up; and d the 
Lord delivered the Canaanites 
and the Perizzites into their hand: 
and they slew of them in Bezek 
ten thousand men. 

5 And they found Adoni-bezek 
in Bezek ; and they fought against 
him, and they slew the Canaanites 
and the Perizzites. 

6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they 
pursued after him, and caught 
him, and cut off his thumbs and 
his great toes. 

7 And Adoni-bezek said, Three- 
score and ten kings, having l their 
thumbs and their great toes cut 
off, 2 gathered their meat under my 
table: ' as I have done, so God 
hath requited me. And they 
brought him to Jerusalem, and 
there he died,

wilt thou?

they went and dwelt among the 
people. 

17 And Judah went with Simeon 
his brother, and they slew the 
Canaanites that inhabited Ze- 
phath, and utterly destroyed it. 
And the name of the city was 
called q Hormah. 

18 Also Judah took r Gaza with 
the coast thereof, and Askelon with 
the coast thereof, and Ekron with 
the coast thereof. 

19 And 8 the Lord was with 
Judah; and 6 he drave out tJie 
inhabitants of the mountain; but 
could not drive out the inhabitants 
of the valley, because they had 
chariots \ of iron. 

20 And M they gave Hebron unto 
Caleb, as Moses said : and he ex- 
pelled thence the three sons of Anak. 

21 \ And v the children of Ben- 
jamin did not drive out the Jebus- 
ites that inhabited Jerusalem; but 
the Jebusites dwell with the chil- 
dren of Benjamin in Jerusalem 
unto this day. 

22 ^J And the house of Joseph 
they also went up against Beth-el : 
and the Lord was with them. 

23 And the house of Joseph w sent 
to descry Beth-el : (now the name 
of the city before was x Luz.) 

24 And the spies saw a man come 
forth out of the city, and they said 
unto him, Show us, we pray thee, 
the entrance into the city, and y we 
will show thee mercy. 

25 And when he showed them 
the entrance into the city, they 
smote the city with the edge of the 
sword; but they let go the man 
and all his family. 

26 And the man went into the 
land of the Hittites, and built a 
city, and called the name thereof 
Luz: which, is the name thereof 
unto this day. 

27 f Neither did z Manasseh drive 
out me inhabitants ofBeth-shean and 
her towns, nor a Taanach and her 
towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor 
and her towns, nor the inhabitants 
of Iblaim and her towns, nor the 
inhabitants of Megiddo and her 
towns: but the Canaanites would 
dwell in that land. 

28 And it came to pass, when 
Israel was strong, that they put the 
Canaanites to tribute, and 6 did not 
utterly drive them out. 

29 Neither 6 did Ephraim drive 
out the Canaanites that dwelt in 
Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt 
in Gezer among them.

CHAPTER II. 

1 An Angel sent to rebuke the people at 
Bochim. 10 Wickedness of the new gene- 
ration after Joshua: 20 their punisli* 
ment. 

AN D a an x angel of the Lord 
came up from Gilgal to Bochim, 
and said, I made you to go up out 
of Egypt, and have brought you 
unto the land which I sware unto 
your fathers; and 8 I said, I will 
never break my covenant with 
you. 

2 And ye shall make no league 
with the inhabitants of this land ; 
ye shall throw down their altars : 
but ye have not obeyed my voice : 
why have ye done this? 

3 Wherefore I also said, I will not 
drive them out from before you ; 
but they shall be ° as thorns in your 
sides, and d their gods shall be a 
snare unto you. 

4 And it came to pass, when the 
angel of the Lord spake these 
words unto all the children of 
Israel, that the people lifted up 
their voice, and wept. 

5 And they called the name of 
that place 2 Bochim : and they 
sacrificed there unto the Lord. 



Wickedness of the iiew generation JUDGES, HE. 



after Joshua. 



6 % And when Joshua had let the 
people go, the children of Israel 
went every man unto his inherit- 
ance to possess the land. 

7 And the people served the Lord 
all the days of Joshua, and all the 
days of the elders that 3 outlived 
Joshua, who had seen all the great 
works of the Lord that he did for 
Israel. 

8 And Joshua the son of Nun, 
the servant of the Lord, died, 
being an hundred and ten years 
old. 

9 And they buried him in the 
border of his inheritance in 
Timnath-heres, in the mount of 
Ephraim, on the north side of the 
hill Gaash. 

10 And also all that generation 
were gathered unto their fathers. 
And there arose another genera- 
tion after them, which 6 knew not 
the Lord, nor yet the works which 
he had done for Israel. 

11 ^ And the children of Israel 
did evil in the sight of the Lord, 
and served Baalim: 

12 And they / forsook the Lord 
God of then fathers, which brought 
them out of the land of Egypt, 
and followed 9 other gods, of the 
gods of the people that were round 
about them, and h bowed them- 
selves unto them, and provoked 
the Lord to anger. 

13 And they forsook the Lord, 
and served Baal and Ashtaroth. 

14 And * the anger of the Lord 
was hot against Israel, and i he 
delivered them into the hands of 
spoilers that spoiled them, and ft he 
sold them into the hands of their 
enemies round about, so that l they 
could not any longer stand before 
their enemies. 

15 Whithersoever they went out, 
the hand of the Lord was against 
them for evil, as the Lord had 
said, and m as the Lord had sworn 
unto them: and they were greatly 
distressed. 

16 \ Nevertheless " the Lord 
raised up judges, which 4 delivered 
them out of the hand of those 
that spoiled them. 

17 And yet they would not 
hearken unto their judges, but 
they ° went a whoring after other 
gods, and bowed themselves unto 
them: they turned quickly out of 
the way which their fathers walked 
in, obeying the commandments 
of the Lord; but they did not 
so.

18 And when the Lord raised 
them up judges, then p the Lord 
was with the judge, and delivered 
them out of the hand of their 
enemies all the days of the judge: 
for q it repented the Lord because 
of their groanings by reason of 
them that oppressed them and 
vexed them. 

19 And it came to pass, when the 
judge was dead, that they returned, 
and 6 corrupted themselves more 
than their fathers, in following 
other gods to serve them, and to 
bow down unto them; 6 they ceased 
not from their own doings, nor 
from their stubborn way. 

20 ^ And the anger of the Lord 
was hot against Israel; and he 
said, Because that this people 
hath r transgressed my covenant 
which I commanded their fathers, 
and have not hearkened unto my 
voice, 

21 I also will not henceforth 
drive out any from before them of 
the nations which Joshua left 
when he died: 

22 That through them I 'may 
prove Israel, whether they will 
keep the way of the Lord to walk 
therein, as their fathers did keep 
it, or not. 

23 Therefore the Lord % left those 
nations, without driving them out 
hastily; neither delivered he them 
into the hand of Joshua. 

CHAPTER HI. 

1 Nations left to prove Israel: 5 by com- 
munion ivith whom the Israelites commit 
idolatry. 8 Othniel delivers Israel from 
Chushan-rishathaim, 12 Ehud from 
Egkm, 31 Shamgarfrom the Philistines. 

NOW these are the nations 
which the Lord left, ° to 
prove Israel by them; even as many 
of Israel as had not known all the 
wars of Canaan; 

2 Only that the generations of 
the children of Israel might know 
to teach them war, at the least 
such as before knew nothing 
thereof; 

3 Namely, b five lords of the 
Philistines, and all the Canaanites, 
and the Sidonians, and the Hivites 
that dwelt in mount Lebanon, 
from mount Baal-hermon unto 
the entering in of Hamath. 

4 And they were to prove Israel 
by them, to know whether they 
would hearken unto the com- 
mandments of the Lord, which 
he commanded their fathers by 
the hand of Moses.

5 ^ And c the children of Israel 
dwelt among the Canaanites, 
Hittites, and Amorites, and Periz- 
zites, and Hivites, and Jebusites: 

6 And d they took their daughters 
to he their wives, and gave their 
daughters to their sons, and served 
their gods. 

7 And c the children of Israel did 
evil in the sight of the Lord, and 
forgat the Lord their God, and 
served Baalim and / the groves. 

8 Therefore the anger of the 
Lord was hot against Israel, and 
he sold them into the hand 9 of 
Chushan-rishathaim king of x Me- 
sopotamia: and the children of 
Israel served Chushan-rishathaim 
eight years. 

9 And when the children of 
Israel h cried unto the Lord, the 
Lord * raised up a 2 deliverer to 
the children of Israel, who de- 
livered them, event Othniel the son 
of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 

10 And *the Spirit of the Lord 
3 came upon him, and he judged 
Israel, and went out to war: and 
the Lord delivered Chushan- 
rishathaim king of 4 Mesopotamia 
into his hand; and his hand 
prevailed against Chushan-risha- 
thaim. 

11 And the land had rest forty 
years. And Othniel the son of 
Kenaz died. 

12 % And l the children of Israel 
did evil again in the sight of the 
Lord: and the Lord strengthened 
Eglon m the king of Moab against 
Israel, because they had done evil 
in the sight of the Lord. 

13 And he gathered unto him 
the children of Ammon n and 
Amalek, and went and smote 
Israel, and possessed ° the city of 
palm trees. 

14 So the children of Israel 
served p Eglon the king of Moab 
eighteen years. 

15 But when the children of 
Israel 2 cried unto the Lord, the 
Lord raised them up a deliverer, 
Ehud the son of Gera, 6 a Ben- 
jamite, a man 6 left-handed: and 
by him the children of Israel sent 
a present unto Eglon the king of 
Moab. 

16 But Ehud made him a dagger 
which had two edges, of a cubit 
length; and he did gird it under 
his raiment upon his right thigh. 

17 And he brought the present 
unto Eglon king of Moab: and 
Eglon was a very fat man.

18 And when he had made an 
end to offer the present, he sent 
away the people that bare the 
present. 

19 But he himself turned again 
from r the 7 quarries that were by 
Gilgal, and said, I have a secret 
errand unto thee, O king: who 
said, Keep silence. And all that 
stood by him went out from him. 

20 And Ehud came unto him; 
and he was sitting in 8 a summer 
parlour, which he had for himself 
alone. And Ehud said, I have a 
message from God unto thee. 
And he arose out of Ms seat 

21 And Ehud put forth his left 
hand, and took the dagger from 
his right thigh, and thrust it into 
his belly: 

22 And the haft also went in after 
the blade; and the fat closed upon 
the blade, so that he could not 
draw the dagger out of his belly; 
and 9 the dirt came out. 

28 Then Ehud went forth through 
the porch, and shut the doors of 
the parlour upon him, and locked 
them. 

24 When he was gone out, his 
servants came; and when they 
saw that, behold, the doors of the 
parlour were locked, they said, 
Surely he 10 covereth his feet in his 
summer chamber. 

25 And they tarried till they 
were ashamed; and, behold, he 
opened not the doors of the par- 
lour: therefore they took a key, 
and opened them: and, behold, 
their lord was fallen down dead 
on the earth. 

26 And Ehud escaped while they 
tarried, and passed beyond the 
quarries, and escaped unto Seirath. 

27 And it came to pass, when he 
was come, that * he blew a trumpet 
in ' the mountain of Ephraim, and 
the children of Israel went down 
with him from the mount, and 
he before them. 

28 And he said unto them, Follow 
after me; for u the Lord hath 
delivered your enemies the Moab- 
ites into your hand. And they 
went down after him, and took 
the " fords of Jordan toward Moab, 
and suffered not a man to pass 
over. 

29 And they slew of Moab at 
that time about ten thousand men, 
all n lusty, and all men of valour; 
and there escaped not a man. 

30 So Moab was subdued that 
dav under the hand of Israel.

Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all 
the host of Sisera fell upon the 
edge of the sword; and there was 
not 2 a man left. 

17 Howbeit Sisera l fled away on 
his feet to the tent of Jael the wife 
of Heber the Kenite: for there was 
peace between Jabin the king of 
Hazor and the house of Heber the 
Kenite. 

18 And Jael went out to meet 
Sisera, and said unto him, Turn 
in, my lord, turn in to me; fear 
not. And when he had turned in 
unto her into the tent, she covered 
him with a 3 mantle. 

19 And he said unto her, Give 
me, I pray thee, a little water to 
drink; for I am thirsty. And she 
opened u a bottle of milk, and 
gave him drink, and covered him. 

20 Again he said unto her, Stand 
in the door of the tent; and it 
shall be, when any man doth come 
and enquire of thee, and say, Is 
there any man here? that thou 
shalt say, No. 

21 Then Jael, Heber'swife, "took 
a nail of the tent, and 4 took an 
hammer in her hand, and went 
softly unto him, and smote the 
nail into his temples, and fastened 
it into the ground: for he was fast 
asleep and weaiy: so he died. 

22 And, behold, as Barak pur- 
sued Sisera, Jael came out to meet

him, and said unto Mm, Come, 
and I will show thee the man 
whom thou seekest. And when 
he came into her tent, hehold, Sisera 
lay dead, and the nail was in his 
temples. 

23 So w God suhdued on that day 
Jabin the king of Canaan before 
the children of Israel 

24 And the hand of the children 
of Israel 5 prospered, and prevailed 
against Jabin the king of Canaan, 
until they had destroyed Jabin 
king of Canaan. 

CHAPTER V. 
Deborah and Barak's song of thanks- 
giving. 

THEN sang Deborah and Barak 
the son of Abinoam on that 
day, saying, 

2 Praise ye the Lord for the 
avenging of Israel, when the peo- 
ple willingly offered themselves. 

3 Hear, ye longs; give ear, ye 
princes; I, even I, will sing unto the 
Lord; I will singpraise to the Lord 
God of Israel 

4 Lord, ° when thou wentest out 
of Seir, when thou marchedst out 
of the field of Edom, h the earth 
trembled, and the heavens drop- 
ped, the clouds also dropped 
water. 

5 The c morintains l melted from 
before the Lord, even that Sinai 
from before the Lord God of 
Israel 

6 In the days of d Shamgar the 
son of Anath, in the days of Jael, 
tbe "highways were unoccupied, 
and the * travellers walked through 
3 by-ways. 

7 The inhabitants of the villages 
ceased, they ceased in Israel, until 
that I Deborah arose, that I arose 
a t mother in Israel 

8 They 9 chose new gods ; then 
was war in the gates: h was there a 
shield or spear seen among forty 
thousand in Israel? 

9 My heart is toward the gover- 
nors of Israel, that offered them- 
selves willingly among the people. 
Bless ye the Lord. 

10 4 Speak, ye * that ride on white 
asses, ye that sit in judgment, and 
walk by the way. 

11 They that are delivered from the 
noise of archers in the places of 
drawing water, there shall they 
rehearse the 6 righteous acts of the 
Lord, even the righteous acts to- 
ward the inhabitants of his villages 
in Israel: then shall the people of 
the Lord go down to the gates.

and also Barak : he was sent on 
7 foot into the valley. 8 For the 
divisions of Beuben there were great 
9 thoughts of heart. 

16 Why abodest thou I among the 
sheep-folds, to hear the bleatings of 
the flocks? 10 For the divisions of 
Beuben there were great searchings 
of heart. 

17 Gilead m abode beyond Jordan: 
and why did Dan remain in ships? 
Asher . continued on the sea- 
11 shore, and abode in his 12 breaches. 

18 Zebulun ° and Naphtali were a 
people that 13 jeoparded their lives 
unto the death in the high places 
of the field. 

19 The kings came and fought, 
then fought the kings of Canaan

money. 

20 They q fought from heaven ;

21 The 8 river of Kishon swept

22 Then were the horse -hoofs

and her right hand to the work- 
men's hammer ; and 16 with the 
hammer she smote Sisera, she 
smote off his head, when she had 
pierced and stricken through his 
temples. 

27 " At her feet he bowed, he 
fell, he lay down : at her feet he 
bowed, he fell: where he bowed, 
there he fell down 18 dead. 

28 The mother of Sisera looked 
out at a window, and cried through 
the lattice, Why is his chariot so 
long in coming? why tarry the 
wheels of his chariots? 

29 Her wise ladies answered her, 
yea, she returned 19 answer to her- 
self, 

30 Have w they not sped? have 
they not divided the prey; 2° to 
every man a damsel or two; to 
Sisera a prey of divers colours, a 
prey of divers colours of needle- 
work, of divers colours of needle- 
work on both sides, meet for the 
necks of them that take the spoil?

they entered into the land to 
destroy it.

6 And Israel was greatly impov- 
erished because of the Midian- 
ites; and the children of Israel 
cried * unto the Lord. 

7 f And it came to pass, when 
the children of Israel cried unto the 
Lord because of the Midianites, 

8 That the Lord sent 3 a prophet 
unto the children of Israel, which 
said unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God of Israel, I brought you 
up from Egypt, and brought you 
forth out of the house of bondage ; 

9 And I delivered you out of the j 
hand of the Egyptians, and out of 
the hand of all that oppressed you, 
and drave them out from before 
you, and gave you their land ; 

10 And I said unto you, I am the 
Lord your God ; 9 fear not the 
gods of the Amorites, in whose 
land ye dwell: but ye have not 
obeyed my voice. 

11 If And there came an angel of 
the Lord, and sat under an oak 
which was in Ophrah, that per- 
tained unto Joash h the Abi-ezrite : 
and his son Gideon threshed wheat 
by the wine-press, 4 to hide it from 
the Midianites. 

12 And the * angel of the Lord 
appeared unto him, and said unto 
him. The Lord is with thee, thou 
mighty man of valour. 

13 And Gideon said unto him, 
Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with 
us, why then is all this befallen us? 
and i where be all his miracles 
which our fathers told us of, say- 
ing, Did not the Lord bring us up 
from Egypt? but now the Lord 
hath h forsaken us, and delivered 
us into the hands of the Midian- 
ites. 

14 And the Lord looked upon 
him, and said, * Go in this thy 
might, and thou shalt save Israel 
from the hand of the Midianites : 
have m not I sent thee? 

15 And he said unto him, Oh my 
Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? 
behold, 6 my family is poor in 
Manasseh, and I am the least in 
my father's house. 

16 And the Lord said unto him, 
Surely B I will be with thee, and 
thou shalt smite the Midianites as 
one man. 

17 And he said unto him, If now 
I have found grace in thy sight, 
then ° show me a sign that thou 
talkest with me. 

18 Depart * not hence, I pray 
thee, until I come unto thee, and 
bring forth my 6 present, and set

it before thee. And he said, I will 
tarry until thou come again. 

19 And Gideon went in, and made 
ready 7 a kid, and unleavened cakes 
of an ephah of flour: the flesh he 
put in a basket, and he put the 
broth in a pot, and brought it out 
unto him under the oak, and pre- 
sented it. 

20 And the angel of God said unto 
him, Take the flesh and the un- 
leavened cakes, and 9 lay them upon 
this rock, and r pour out the broth. 
And he did so. 

21 Then the angel of the Lord 
put forth the end of the staff that 
was in his hand, and touched the 
flesh and the unleavened cakes; 
and * there rose up fire out of the 
rock, and consumed the flesh and 
the unleavened cakes. Then the 
angel of the Lord departed out of 
his sight. 

22 And when Gideon perceived 
that he was an angel of the Lord, 
Gideon said, Alas, Lord God! 
for because I have seen an angel 
of the Lord ' face to face. 

23 And the Lord said unto him, 
Peace w be unto thee; fear not: 
thou shalt not die. 

24 Then Gideon built an altar 
there unto the Lord, and called it 
8 Jehovah-shalom : unto this day 
it is yet " in Ophrah of the Abi- 
ezrites. 

25 ^f And it came to pass the 
same night, that the Lord said 
unto him, Take thy father's young 
bullock, 9 even the second bullock 
of seven years old, and throw down 
the altar of Baal that thy father 
hath, and cut w down the grove 
that is by it: 

26 And build an altar unto the 
Lord thy God upon the top of this 
10 rock, n in the ordered place, and 
take the second bullock, and offer 
a burnt sacrifice with the wood of 
the grove which thou shalt cut 
down. 

27 Then Gideon took ten men of 
his servants, and did as the Lord 
had said unto him : and so it was, 
because he feared his father's house- 
hold, and the men of the city, that 
he could not do it by day, that he 
did it x by night. 

28 % And when the men of the 
city arose early in the morning, 
behold, the altar of Baal was cast 
down, and the grove was cut down 
that was by it, and the second bul- 
lock was offered upon the altar that 
was built.

29 And they said one to another, 
Who hath done this thing? And 
when they enquired and asked, 
they said, Gideon the son of Joash 
hath done this thing. 

30 Then the men of the city said 
unto Joash, y Bring out thy son, 
that he may die; because he hath 
cast down the altar of Baal, and 
because he hath cut down the 
grove that was by it. 

31 And Joash said unto all that 
stood against him, Will ye plead 
for Baal? will ye save him? he that 
will plead for him, let him be put 
to death whilst it is yet morning : 
if he be a god, let him plead for 
himself, because one hath cast down 
his altar. 

32 Therefore on that day he 
called him 12 Jerubbaal. saying, 
Let Baal plead against him, be- 
cause he hath thrown down his 
altar. 

33 *f Then all the Midianites and 
the Amalekites and the children 
of the east were gathered together, 
and went over, and pitched in z the 
valley of Jezreel. 

34 But ° the Spirit of the Lord 
13 came upon Gideon, and he blew 
a h trumpet ; and Abi-ezer u was 
gathered after him. 

35 And he sent messengers 
throughout all Manasseh; who 
also was gathered after him: and 
he sent messengers unto Asher, 
and unto Zebulun, and unto 
Naphtali; and they came up to 
meet them. 

36 If And Gideon said unto God, 
If thou wilt save Israel by mine 
hand, as thou hast said, 

37 Behold, c I will put a fleece of 
wool in the floor; and if the dew be 
on the fleece only, and it be dry 
upon all the earth beside, then shall 
I know that thou wilt save Israel 
by mine hand, as thou hast said. 

38 And it was so : for he rose up 
early on the morrow, and thrust 
the fleece together, and wringed 
the dew out of the fleece, a bowl 
full of water. 

39 And Gideon said unto God, 
Let d not thine anger be hot against 
me, and I will speak but this once: 
let me prove, I pray thee, but this 
once with the fleece ; let it now be 
dry only upon the fleece, and upon 
all the ground let there be dew. 

40 And God did so that night: 
for it was dry upon the fleece only, 
and there was dew on all the 
ground.

THEN fl Jerubbaal, who is 
Gideon, and all the people 
that were with him, B rose up early, 
and pitched beside the well of 
1 Harod: so that the host of the 
Midianites were on the north side 
of them, by the hill of Moreh, in 
the c valley. 

2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, 
The people that are with thee are 
too many for me to give the 
Midianites into their hands, lest 
Israel d vaunt themselves against 
me, saying, Mine own hand hath 
saved me. 

2 Now therefore go to, proclaim 
in the ears of the people, saying, 
Whosoever * is fearful and afraid, 
let him return and depart early 
from mount Gilead. And there 
returned of the people twenty and 
two thousand; and there remained 
ten thousand. 

4 And the Lord said unto Gideon, 
The people are yet too many; bring 
them down unto the water, and I 
will 2 try them for thee there: and 
it shall be, that of whom I say unto 
thee, This shall go with thee, the 
same shall go with thee; and of 
whomsoever I say unto thee, This 
shall not go with thee, the same 
shall not go. 

5 So he brought down the people 
unto the water: and the Lord said 
unto Gideon, Every one that lap- 
peth of the water with his tongue, 
as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou 
set by himself; likewise every one 
that boweth down upon his knees 
to drink. 

6 And the number of them that 
lapped, putting their band to their 
mouth, were three hundred men: 
but all the rest of the people bowed 
down upon their knees to chink 
water. 

7 And the Lord said unto 
Gideon, /By the three hundred 
men that lapped will I save you, 
and deliver the Midianites into 
thine hand: and let all the other 
people go every man unto his 
place. 

8 So the people took victuals in 
their hand, and their trumpets: 
and he sent all the rest of Israel 
every man unto his tent, and 
retained those three hundred men. 
And the host of Midian was 
beneath him in the valley.

unto the host. Then went he 
down with Phurah his servant 
unto the outside of the 3 armed 
men that were in the host. 

12 And the Midianites and the 
Amalekites and * all the children 
of the east lay along in the valley 
like grasshoppers for multitude; 
and their camels were without 
number, as the sand by the sea- 
side for multitude. 

13 And when Gideon was come, 
behold, there was a man that told 
a dream unto his fellow, and said, 
Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, 
lo, i a cake of barley bread tumbled 
into the host of Midian, and came 
unto a tent, and smote it that it 
fell, and overturned it, that the 
tent lay along. 

14 And k his fellow answered and 
said, This is nothing else save the 
sword of Gideon the son of Joash, 
a man of Israel: for into his hand 
hath God delivered Midian, and 
all the host. 

15 % And it was so, when Gideon 
heard the telling of the dream, 
and 4 the interpretation thereof, 
that he worshipped, and returned 
into the host of Israel, and said, 
Arise; for the Lord hath delivered 
into your hand the host of Midian. 

16 And he divided the three 
hundred men into three companies, 
and he put 5 a trumpet in eveiy 
man's hand, with empty pitchers, 
and 6 lamps within the pitchers. 

17 And he said unto them, Look 
on me, and do likewise: and, 
behold, when I come to the out- 
side of the camp, it shall be, that 
as I do, so shall ye do. 

18 When I blow with a trumpet, 
I and all that are with me, then 
blow ye the trumpets also on every 
side of all the camp, and say, The 
sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. 

19 \ So Gideon, and the hundred 
men that were with him, came 
unto the outside of the camp in 
the beginning of the l middle 
watch; and they had but newly 
set the watch: and they blew the

trumpets, and brake the pitchers 
that were in their hands. 

20 And the three companies blew 
the trumpets, and brake the 
pitchers, and held the lamps in 
their left hands, and the trumpets 
in their right hands to blow 
withal: and they cried, The sword 
of the Lord, and of Gideon. 

21 And they m stood every man 
in his place round about the camp: 
and n all the host ran, and cried, 
and fled. 

22 And the three hundred ° blew 
the trumpets, and p the Lord set 
every q man's sword against his 
fellow, even throughout all the 
host: and the host fled to Beth- 
shittah 7 in Zererath, and to the 
8 border of Abel-meholah, unto 
Tabbath. 

23 And the men of Israel gathered 
themselves together out of Naph- 
tali, and out of Asher, and out of 
all Manasseh, and pursued after 
the Midianites. 

24 And Gideon sent messengers 
throughout all r mount Ephraim, 
saying, Come down against the 
Midianites, and take before them 
the waters unto Beth-barah and 
Jordan. Then all the men of 
Ephraim gathered themselves to- 
gether, and " took the waters unto 
Beth-barah { and Jordan. 

25 And they took u two princes 
of the Midianites, Oreb ana Zeeb; 
and they slew Oreb upon " the 
rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at 
the wine-press of Zeeb, and pur- 
sued Midian, and brought the 
heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon 
on the w other side Jordan. 

CHAPTER Vin. 

1 The Ephraimites are offended and paci- 
fied. 10 Zebah and Zalmunna taken. 
28 Midian totally subdued. 32 Gideon's 
death; the Israelites' idolatry and in-

AND a the men of Ephraim said 
unto him, 1 Why hast thou 
served us thus, that thou calledst 
us not when thou wentest to fight 
with the Midianites ? And they 
did chide with him 2 sharply. 

2 And he said unto them, What 
have I done now in comparison of 
you? Is not the gleaning of the 
grapes of Ephraim better than the 
vintage of Abi-ezer? 

3 God h hath delivered into your 
hands the princes of Midian, Oreb 
and Zeeb: and what was I able to 
do in comparison of you? Then 
their 3 anger was abated toward 
him, when he had said that.

4 ^f And Gideon came to Jordan, 
and passed over, he, and the three 
hundred men that were with him, 
faint, yet pursuing them. 

5 And he said unto the men c of 
Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves 
of bread unto the people that 
follow me; for they be faint, and I 
am pursuing after Zebah and 
Zalmunna, kings of Midian. 

6 And the princes of Succoth 
said, d Are the hands of Zebah 
and Zalmunna now in thine.hand, 
that e we should give bread unto 
thine army? 

7 And Gideon said, Therefore, 
when the Lord hath delivered 
Zebah and Zalmunna into mine 
hand, then I will i tear your flesh 
with the thorns of the wilderness 
and with briers. 

8 And he went up thence 'to 
Penuel, and spake unto them like- 
wise: and the men of Penuel 
answered him as tbe men of 
Succoth had answered him. 

9 And he spake also unto the 
men of Penuel, saying, When s I 
come again in peace, I will break 
down this tower. 

10 ^f Now Zebah and Zalmunna 
were in Karkor, and their hosts 
with them, about fifteen thousand 
men, all that were left of all h the 
hosts of the children of the east: 
for there fell 3 an hundred and 
twenty thousand men that drew 
sword. 

11 f And Gideon went up by the 
way of them that dwelt in tents 
on the east * of Nobah and 
Jogbehah, and smote the host: for 
the host was i secure. 

12 And when Zebah and Zal- 
munna fled, he pursued after 
them, and k took the two kings of 
Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, 
and 6 discomfited all the host. 

13 % And Gideon the son of Joash 
returned from battle before the 
sun was up, 

14 And caught a young man of 
the men of Succoth, and enquired 
of him: and he 7 described unto 
him the princes of Succoth, and 
the elders thereof, even threescore 
and seventeen men. 

15 And he came unto the men 
of Succoth, and said, Behold 
Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom 
ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the 
hands of Zebah and Zalmunna 
now in thine hand, that we should 
give bread unto thy men that are 
weary?

16 And he took the elders of the 
city, and thorns of the wilderness 
and briers, and with them he 

8 taught the men of Succoth. 

17 And he beat down the tower 
of *Penuel, and slew the men of 
the city. 

18 1f Then said he unto Zebah 
and Zalmunna, What manner of 
men were they whom ye slew m at 
Tabor? And they answered, As 
thou art, so were they; each one 

9 resembled the children of a king. 

19 And he said, They were my 
brethren, even the sons of my 
mother: as the Lord liveth, if ye 
had saved them alive, I would not 
slay you. 

20 And he said unto Jether his 
first-born, Up, and slay them: but 
the youth drew not his sword; for 
he feared, because he was yet a 
youth. 

21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna 
said, Kise thou, and fall upon us; 
for as the man is, so is his strength. 
And Gideon arose, and n slew 
Zebah and Zalmunna, and took 
away the 10 ornaments that were 
on their camels' necks. 

22 <H Then the men of Israel said 
unto Gideon, Kule thou over us, 
both thou and thy son, and thy 
son's son also; for thou hast de- 
livered us from the hand of 
Midian. 

23 And Gideon said unto them, 
I will not rule over you, neither 
shall my son rule over you: ° the 
Lord shall rule over you. 

24 And Gideon said unto them, 
I would desire a request of you, 
that ye would give me every man 
the earrings of his prey: (for they 
had golden earrings, v because 
they were Ishmaelites.) 

25 And they answered, We will 
willingly give them. And they 
spread a garment, and did cast 
therein every man the earrings of 
his prey. 

26 And the weight of the golden 
earrings that he requested was a 
thousand and seven hundred 
shekels of gold; besides ornaments, 
and n collars, and purple raiment 
that was on the kings of Midian, 
and besides the chains that were 
about their camels' necks. 

27 And Gideon q made an ephod 
thereof, and put it in his city, even 
in r Ophrah: and all Israel e went 
thither a whoring after it: which 
thing became * a snare unto 
Gideon, and to his house.

28 ^ Thus was Midian subdued 
before the children of Israel, so 
that they lifted up their heads no 
more: and the country was in 
quietness forty years in the days 
of Gideon. 

29 And Jerubbaal the son of 
Joash went and dwelt in his own 
house. 

30 And Gideon had u threescore 
and ten sons 12 of his body begot- 
ten: for he had many wives. 

31 And his concubine that was in 
Shechem, she also bare him a 
son, whose name he ^ called 
14 Abimelech. 

32 And Gideon the son of Joash 
died in a good old age, and was 
buried in the sepulchre of Joash 
his father, v in Ophrah of the 
Abi-ezrites. 

33 And it came to pass, w as soon 
as Gideon was dead, that the 
children of Israel turned again, 
and went a whoring after Baalim, 
and x made 15 Baal-berith their 
god. 

34 And the children of Israel 
remembered y not the Lord their 
God, who had delivered them out 
of the hands of all their enemies 
on every side: 

35 Neither * showed they kind- 
ness to the house of Jerubbaal, 
namely, Gideon, according to all 
the goodness which he had showed 
unto Israel 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 A bimelech is made king by the Sliecliem- 
ites. 7 Jotham, by a parable, reproach- 
eth them. 22 Oaal's conspiracy. 50 
Abimelech slain. 56 Jotnam's curse 
fulfilled. 

AND Abimelech the son of 
Jerubbaal went to Shechem 
unto ° his mother's brethren, and 
communed with them, and with 
all the family of the house of his 
mother's father, saying, 

2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears 
of all the men of Shechem, 
1 Whether is better for you, either 
that all the sons of Jerubbaal, 
which are 6 threescore and ten 
persons, reign over you, or that 
one reign over you? remember 
also that lam c your bone and 
your flesh. 

3 And his mother's brethren 
spake of him in the ears of all the 
men of Shechem all these words : 
and their hearts inclined 2 to fol- 
low Abimelech ; for they said, He 
is d our brother. 

4 And they gave him threescore 



J 'othani 's parable of the

and ten pieces of silver out of the 
house of ' Baal-berith, wherewith 
Abimelech hired /vain and light 
persons, which followed him. 

5 And he went unto his father's 
house ° at Ophrah, and A slew his 
brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, 
being threescore and ten persons, 
upon one stone : notwithstanding 
yet Jotham the youngest son of 
Jerubbaal was left ; for he hid him- 
self. 

6 And all the men of Shechem 
gathered together, and all the 
house of Millo, and went and 
made Abimelech king, 3 by the 
plain of the pillar that was in 
Shechem. 

7 And when they told it to 
Jotham, he went and stood in the 
top of * mount Gerizim, and lifted 
up his voice and cried, and said 
unto them, Hearken unto me, ye 
men of Shechem, that God may 
hearken unto you. 

8 The i trees went forth on a time 
to anoint a king over them; and 
they said unto the olive tree, 
Keign * thou over us. 

9 But the olive tree said unto 
them, Should I leave my fatness, 
wherewith l by me they honour 
God and man, and 4 go to be pro- 
moted over the trees? 

10 And the trees said to the fig 
tree, Come thou, andxeign over us. 

11 But the fig tree said unto 
them, Should I forsake my sweet- 
ness, and my good fruit, and 
go to be promoted over the 
trees? 

32 Then said the trees unto the 
vine, Come thou, and reign over 
us. 

13 And the vine said unto them, 
Should I leave my wine, which 
cheereth God and man, and go to 
be promoted over the trees? 

14 Then said all the trees unto 
the 5 bramble, Come thou, and 
reign over us. 

15 And the bramble said unto 
the trees, If in truth ye anoint me 
king over you, then come and put 
your trust in m my shadow; and if 
not, n let fire come out of the 
bramble, and devour the ° cedars 
of Lebanon. 

16 Now therefore, if ye have done 
truly and sincerely, in that ye have 
made Abimelech king, and if ye 
have dealt well with Jerubbaal 
and his house, and have done 
unto him p according to the de- 
serving of his hands;

17 (For my father fought for you, 
and 6 adventured his life far, and 
delivered you out of the hand of 
Midian: 

18 And ye are risen up against 
my father's house this day, and 
have slain his sons, threescore and 
ten persons, upon one stone, and 
have made Abimelech, the son of 
his maid-servant, lung over the 
men of Shechem, because he is 
your brother;) 

19 Bf ye- then have dealt truly and 
sincerely with Jerubbaal and with 
his house this day, then q rejoice ye 
in Abimelech, and let him also 
rejoice in you: 

20 But if not, let fire come out 
from Abimelech, and devour the 
men of Shechem, and the house of 
Millo; and let fire come out from 
the men of Shechem, and from the 
house of Millo, and devour Abime- 
lech. 

21 And Jotham ran away, and 
fled, and went to r Beer, and dwelt 
there, for fear of Abimelech his 
brother. 

22 % When Abimelech had reigned 
three years over Israel, 

23 Then * God sent an evil spirit 
between Abimelech and the men 
of Shechem ; and the men of 
Shechem « dealt treacherously with 
Abimelech : 

24 That u the cruelty done to the 
threescore and ten sons of Jerub- 
baal might come, and their blood 
be laid upon Abimelech their 
brother, which slew them; and 
upon the men of Shechem, which 
7 aided him in the killing of his 
brethren. 

25 And the men of Shechem set 
Hers in wait for him in the top of 
the mountains, and they robbed 
all that came along that way by 
them: and it was told AbimeleclL 

26 And Gaal the son of Ebed 
came with his brethren, and went 
over to Shechem: and the men of 
Shechem put their confidence in 
him. 

27 And they went out into the 
fields, and gathered their vine- 
yards, and trode the grapes, and 
made 8 merry, and went into the 
house " of their god, and did eat 
and drink, and cursed Abimelech. 

28 And Gaal the son of Ebed 
said, *" Who is Abimelech, and who 
is Shechem, that we should serve 
him? Is not he the son of Jerub- 
baal? and Zebul his officer? Serve 
the men of * Hamor the father of 



Abimelech defeats the S/iechemites, JUDGES, IX 



and destroys their city. 



Shechem; for why should we serve 
him? 

29 And v would to God this peo- 
ple were under my hand! then 
would I remove Abimelech. And 
he said to Abimelech, Increase 
thine army, and come out. 

30 If And when Zebul the ruler 
of the city heard the words of Gaal 
the son of Ebed, his anger was 
9 kindled. 

31 And he sent messengers unto 
Abimelech 10 privily, saying, Be- 
hold, Gaal the son of Ebed, and 
his brethren, be come to Shechem; 
and, behold, they fortify the city 
against thee. 

32 Now therefore up by night, 
thou and the people that is with 
thee, and he in wait in the field: 

33 And it shall be, that in the 
morning, as soon as the sun is up, 
thou shalt rise early, and set upon 
the city: and, behold, when he and 
the people that is with him come 
out against thee, then mayest thou 
do to them u as thou shalt find 
occasion. 

34 1f And Abimelech rose up, and 
all the people that were with him, 
by night, and they laid wait 
against Shechem in four com- 
panies. 

35 And Gaal the son of Ebed 
went out, and stood in the enter- 
ing of the gate of the city: and 
Abimelech rose up, and the peo- 
ple that were with him, from lying 
in wait. 

36 And when Gaal saw the peo- 
ple, he said to Zebul, Behold, there 
come people down from the top of 
the mountains. And Zebul said 
unto him, * Thou seest the shadow 
of the mountains as if they were 
men. 

37 And Gaal spake again, and 
said, See there come people down 
by the ^ middle of the land, and 
another company come along by 
the plain of 13 Meonenim. 

38 Then said Zebul unto him, 
Where is now thy mouth, where- 
with thou saidst, Who is Abime- 
lech, that we should serve him? Is 
not this the people that thou hast 
despised? a Go out, I pray now, and 
fight with them. 

39 And Gaal went out before the 
men of Shechem, and fought with 
Abimelech. 

40 And Abimelech chased him, 
and he fled before him: and many 
were overthrown and wounded, 
even unto the entering of the gate.

41 And Abimelech dwelt at Aru- 
mah : and Zebul thrust out Gaal 
and his brethren, that they should 
not dwell in Shechem. 

42 And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that the people went out 
into the field ; and they told Abi- 
melech. 

43 And he took the people, and 
divided them into three compa- 
nies, and laid wait in the field, 
and looked, and, behold, the peo- 
ple were come forth out of the city; 
and he rose up against them, and 
smote them. 

44 And Abimelech, and the com- 
pany that was with him, rushed 
forward, and stood in the entering 
of the gate of the city: and the two 
other companies ran upon all the 
people that were in the fields, and 
slew them. 

45 And Abimelech fought against 
the city all that day; and he took 
the city, and slew the people that 
was therein, and b beat down the 
city, and 14 sowed it with salt. 

46 ^f And when all the men of 
the tower of Shechem heard that, 
they entered into an hold of the 
house c of the god Berith. 

47 And it was told Abimelech, 
that all the men of the tower of 
Shechem were gathered together. 

48 And Abimelech gat him up 
to d mount Zalmon, he and all the 
people that were with him; and 
Abimelech took an ax in his 
hand, and cut down a bough from 
the trees, and took it, and laid it 
on his shoulder, and said unto the 
people that were with him, What 
ye have seen 15 me do, make haste, 
and do as I have done. 

49 And aU the people likewise 
cut down every man his bough, 
and followed Abimelech, and put 
them to the hold, and set the hold 
on fire upon them : so that all the 
men of the tower of Shechem died 
also, about a thousand men and 
women. 

50 If Then e went Abimelech to 
Thebez, and encamped against 
Thebez, and took it. 

51 But there was a strong tower 
within the city, and thither fled 
all the men and women, and all 
they of the city, and shut it to 
them, and gat them up to the top of 
the tower. 

52 And Abimelech came unto 
the tower, and fought against it, 
and went hard unto the door of 
the tower to burn it with fire.

53 And / a certain woman cast a 
piece of a millstone upon Abime- 
]ech's head, and ail to brake his 
skull. 

54 Then g he called hastily unto 
the young man his armour-bearer, 
and said unto him, Draw thy 
sword, and slay me, that men say 
not of me, A woman slew him. 
And his young man thrust him 
through, and he died. 

55 And when the men of Israel 
saw that Abimelech was dead, 
they departed every man unto his 
place. 

56 \ Thus ft God rendered the 
wickedness of Abimelech, which 
he did unto his father, in slaying 
his seventy brethren: 

57 And all the evil of the men of 
Shechem did God render upon 
their heads: and upon them came

1 Tola judgeth Israel in Shamir. G Israel

AND after Abimelech there 
arose, a to x defend Israel, Tola 
the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, 
a man of Issachar; and he dwelt 
in Shamir in mount Ephraim, 

2 And he judged Israel twenty

buried in Shamir. 

3 ^[ And after him arose Jair, a 
Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty

4 And he had thirty sons that 
rode h on thirty ass colts, and they 
had thirty cities, which c are called 

2 Havoth-jair unto this day, which 
are in the land of Gilead. 

5 And Jair died, and was buried

9 Moreover the children of Am-

also against Judah, and against 
Benjamin, and against the house 
of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore 
distressed. 

10 ^ And *' the children of Israel 
cried unto the Lord, saying, We 
have sinned against thee, both 
because we have forsaken our God, 
and also served Baalim. 

11 And the Lord said unto the 
children of Israel, Did not I deliver 
youi from the Egyptians, and * from 
the Amorites, l horn the children 
of Ammon, m and fiom the Philis- 
tines? 

12 The n Zidonians also, ° and the 
Amalekites, and the Maonites, 
did f oppress you; and ye cried to 
me, and I delivered you out of 
their hand. 

13 Yet 2 ye have forsaken me, 
and served other gods: wherefore 
I will deliver you no more. 

14 Go and r cry unto the gods 
which ye have chosen; let them 
deliver you in the time of your 
tribulation. 

15 And the children of Israel said 
unto the Lord, We have sinned : 
do 6 thou unto us whatsoever 

4 seemeth good unto thee ; deliver 
us only, we pray thee, this day. 

16 And * they put away the 

5 strange gods from among them, 
and served the Lord : and u his 
soul 6 was grieved for the misery of 
Israel. 

17 Then the children of Ammon 
were 7 gathered together, and en- 
camped in Gilead: and the chil- 
dren of Israel assembled them- 
selves together, and encamped 
in v Mizpeh. 

18 And the people and princes of 
Gilead said one to another, What 
man is he that will begin to fight 
against the children of Ammon ? 
he shall be head over all the 
inhabitants of Gilead.

said unto him, Thou shalt not 
inherit in our father's house; for 
thou art the son of a strange 
woman. 

3 Then Jephthah fled 2 from his 
brethren, and dwelt in the land of 
Tob: and there were gathered 
vain b men to Jephthah, and went 
out with him. 

4 U And it came to pass 3 in 
process of time, that the children 
of Amnion made war against 
IsraeL 

5 And it was so, that, when the 
children of Ammon made war 
against Israel, the elders of Gilead 
went to fetch Jephthah out of the 
land of Tob: 

6 And they said unto Jephthah, 
Come, and be our captain, that 
we may fight with the children of 
Ammon. 

7 And Jephthah said unto the 
elders of Gilead, c Did not ye hate 
me, and expel me out of my 
father's house? and why are ye 
come unto me now when ye are 
in distress? 

8 And the elders of Gilead said 
unto Jephthah, Therefore d we 
turn again to thee now, that thou 
mayest go with us, and fight 
against the children of Ammon, 
and be our 6 head over all the 
inhabitants of Gilead. 

9 And Jephthah said unto the 
elders of Gilead, If ye bring me 
nome again to fight against the 
children of Ammon, and the 
Lord deliver them before me, 
shall I be your head? 

10 And the elders of Gilead said 
unto Jephthah, / The Lord 4 be 
witness between us, if we do not 
so according to thy words. 

11 Then Jephthah went with the 
elders of Gilead, and the people 
made him head and captain over 
them: and Jephthah uttered all 
his words 9 before the Lord in 
Mizpeh. 

12 % And Jephthah sent mes- 
sengers unto the king of the 
children of Ammon, saying, What 
hast thou to do with me, that thou 
art come against me to fight in 
my land? 

13 And the king of the children 
of Ammon answered un.to the 
messengers of Jephthah, Because 
Israel ft took away my land, when 
they came up out of Egypt, from 
Arnon even unto • Jabbok, and 
unto Jordan: now therefore restore 
those lands again peaceably.

14 And Jephthah sent messengers 
again unto the king of the children 
of Ammon, 

15 And said unto him, Thus saith 
Jephthah, * Israel took not away 
the land of Moab, nor the land of 
the children of Ammon: 

16 But when Israel came up from 
Egypt, and * walked through the 
wilderness unto the Eed sea, and 
came l to Kadesh, 

17 Then m Israel sent messengers 
unto the king of Edom, saying, 
Let me, I pray thee, pass through 
thy land: but the king of Edom 
would not hearken thereto. And 
in like manner they sent unto the 
king of Moab: but he would not 
consent: and Israel n abode in 
Kadesh. 

18 Then they went along through 
the wilderness, and ° compassed 
the land of Edom, and the land of 
Moab, and p came by the east side 
of the land of Moab, and pitched 
on the other side of Arnon, but 
came not within the border of 
Moab: for Arnon was the border 
of Moab. 

19 And q Israel sent messengers 
unto Sihon king of the Amorites, 
the king of Heshbbn; and Israel 
said unto him, Let us pass, we 
pray thee, through thy land into 
my place. 

20 But Sihon trusted not Israel 
to pass through his coast: but Sihon 
gathered all his people together, 
and pitched in Jahaz, and fought 
against Israel. 

21 And the Lord God of Israel 
delivered Sihon and all his people 
into the hand of Israel, and r they 
smote them: so Israel possessed all 
the land of the Amorites, the 
inhabitants of that country. 

22 And they possessed all the 
coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon 
even unto Jabbok, and from the 
wilderness even unto Jordan. 

23 So now the Lord God of Israel 
hath dispossessed the Amorites 
from before his people Israel, and 
shouldest thou possess it? 

24 Wilt not thou possess that 
which Chemosh 8 thy god giveth 
thee to possess? So whomsoever 
the f Lord our God shall drive out 
from before us, them will we 



25 And now art thou any thing 
better than M Balak the son of 
Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever 
strive against Israel, or did he 
ever fight against them, 



Jephthah 



the Ammonites. JUDGES, XII. 



The Ephraimites' quarrel 



26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon 
and her towns, and in v Aroer and 
her towns, and in all the cities 
that be along by the coasts of 
Arnon, three hundred years? why 
therefore did ye not recover tliem 
within that time? 

27 Wherefore I have not sinned 
against thee, hut thou doest me 
wrong to war against me: the 
Lord w the Judge be judge this 
day between the children of Israel 
and the children of Ammon. 

28 Howbeit the king of the 
children of Ammon hearkened 
not unto the words of Jephthah 
which he sent him. 

29 fl Then x the Spirit of the 
Lord came upon Jephthah, and 
he passed over Gilead and Manas- 
seh, and passed over Mizpeh of 
Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead 
he passed over unto the children 
of Ammon. 

30 And Jephthah y vowed a vow 
unto the Lord, and said, If thou 
shalt without fail deliver the chil- 
dren of Ammon into mine hands, 

31 Then it shall be, that 5 what- 
soever cometh forth of the doors of 
my house to meet me, when I re- 
turn in peace from the children of 
Ammon, * shall surely be the 
Lord's, 6 and I will offer it up for 
a burnt offering. 

32 % So Jephthah passed over 
unto the children of Ammon to 
fight against them; and the Lord 
delivered them into his hands. 

33 And he smote them from 
Aroer, even till thou come a to 
Minnith, even twenty cities, and 
unto 7 the plain of the vineyards, 
with a very great slaughter. Thus 
the children of Ammon were 
subdued before the children of 
Israel. 

34 ^ And Jephthah came * to 
Mizpeh unto his house, and, 
behold, c his daughter came out to 
meet him with timbrels and with 
dances: and she was his only child; 
8 beside her he had neither son 
nor daughter. 

35 And it came to pass, when he 
saw her, that he d rent his clothes, 
and said, Alas, my daughter! thou 
hast brought me very low, and 
thou art one of them that trouble 
me: for I e have opened my mouth 
unto the Lord, and /I cannot go 
back. 

36 And she said unto him, My 
father, if thou hast opened thy 
mouth unto the Lord, do 9 to me

me alone two months, that I may 

9 go up and down upon the 
mountains, and bewail » my vir-

38 And he said, Go. And he 
sent her away for two months: 
and she went with her companions, 
and bewailed her virginity upon 
the mountains. 

39 And it came to pass, at the 
end of two months, that she 
returned unto her father, who-* did 
with her according to his vow 
which he had vowed: and she 
knew no man. And it was a 

10 custom in Israel, 

40 That the daughters of Israel 
went u yearly to 12 lament the 
daughter of Jephthah the Gilead- 
ite four days in a year. 

CHAPTER XLL 

1 The Ephraimites quarrelling with 
Jephthah, and discerned by the word 
Shibboleth, are slain by the Oileadites. 
7 Jephthah's death. 

AND a the men of Ephraim 
1 gathered themselves to- 
gether, and went northward, and 
said unto Jephthah, Wherefore 
passedst thou over to fight against 
the children of Ammon, and didst 
not call us to go with thee? we 
will burn thine house upon thee 
with fire. 

2 And Jephthah said unto them, 
I and my people were at great 
strife with the children of Ammon; 
and when I called you, ye deliv- 
ered me not out of their hands. 

3 And when I saw that ye de- 
livered me net, I b put my life in 
my hands, and passed over against 
the children of Ammon,_ and the 
Lord delivered them into my 
hand: wherefore then are ye come 
up unto me this day, to fight 
against me? 

4 Then Jephthah gathered to- 
gether all the men of Gilead, and 
fought with Ephraim: and the 
men of Gilead smote Ephraim, 
because they said, Ye Gileadites 
are c fugitives of Ephraim among 
the Ephraimites, and among the 
Manassites. 

5 And the Gileadites took d the 
passages of Jordan before the

Ephraimites: and it -was so, that 
when those Ephraimites which 
were escaped said, Let me go over; 
that the men of Gilead said unto 
him, Art thou an Ephraimite? 
If he said, Nay; 

6 Then said they unto him, Say 
now 2 Shibboleth; and he said 
Sibboleth: for he could not frame 
to pronounce it right. Then they 
took him, and slew him at the 
passages of Jordan: and there fell 
at that time of the Ephraimites 
forty and two thousand. 

7 And Jephthah judged Israel 
six years. Then died Jephthah 
the Gileadite, and was buried in 
one of the cities of Gilead. 

8 i[ And after him 3 Ibzan of 
Beth-lehem judged Israel. 

9 And he had thirty sons, and 
thirty daughters, whom he sent 
abroad, and took in thirty daugh- 
ters from abroad for his sons: and 
he judged Israel seven years. 

10 Then died Ibzan, and was 
buried at Beth-lehem. 

11 1f And after him 4 Elon, a 
Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he 
judged Israel ten years. 

12 And Elon the Zebulonite 
died, and was buried in Aijalon in 
the country of Zebulun. 

13 % And after him 5 Abdon the 
son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged 
Israel. 

14 And he had forty sons and 
thirty 6 nephews, that 6 rode on 
threescore and ten ass colts: and 
he judged Israel eight years. 

15 And Abdon the son of Hillel 
the Pirathonite died, and was 
buried in Pirathon in the land of 
Ephraim, /in the mount of the 
Amalekites.

6 ^[ Then the woman came and 
told her husband, saying, 9 A man 
of God came unto me, and A his 
countenance was like the counte- 
nance of an angel of God, very 
terrible: but I asked him not 
whence he was, neither told he me 
his name: 

7 But he said unto me, Behold, 
thou shalt conceive, and bear a 
son; and now drink no wine nor 
strong drink, neither eat any un- 
clean thing: for the child shall be 
a Nazarite to God from the womb 
to the day of his death. 

8 % Then Manoah entreated the 
Lord, and said, my Lord, let 
the man of God which thou didst 
send come again unto us, and 
teach us what we shall do unto the 
child that shall be born. 

9 And God hearkened to the 
voice of Manoah; and the angel 
of God came again unto the 
woman as she sat in the field: but 
Manoah her husband was not with 
her. 

10 And the woman made haste, 
and ran, and showed her husband, 
and said unto him, Behold, the 
man hath appeared unto me, that 
came unto me the other day. 

11 And Manoah arose, and went 
after his wife, and came to the 
man, and said unto him, Art thou 
the man that spakest unto the 
woman? And he said, I am. 

12 And Manoah said, Now let thy 
words come to pass. 3 How shall 
we order the child, and i how shall 
we do unto him? 

13 And the angel of the Lord 
said unto Manoah, Of all that I 
said unto the woman let her be- 
ware. 

14 She may not eat of any thing 
that cometh of the vine, neither 
let her drink wine or strong drink, 
nor eat any unclean thing: all 
that I commanded her let her 
observe. 

15 fl And Manoah said unto the

angel of the Lord, I pray thee, 
let * us detain thee, until we shall 
have made ready a kid 5 for thee. 

16 And the angel of the Lord 
said unto Manoah, Though thou 
detain me, I will not eat of thy 
bread: and if thou wilt offer a 
burnt offering, thou must offer it 
unto the Lord. For Manoah 
knew not that he was an angel 
of the Lord. 

17 And Manoah said unto the 
angel of the Lord, What is thy 
name, that when thy sayings 
come to pass we may do thee 
honour? 

18 And the angel of the Lord 
said unto him, V Why askest thou 
thus after my name, seeing it is 
6 secret? 

19 So Manoah took a kid with 
a meat offering, * and offered it 
upon a rock unto the Lord: and 
the angel did wondrously; and 
Manoah and his wife looked on. 

20 For it came to pass, when the 
flame went up toward heaven 
from off the altar, that the angel 
of the Lord ascended in the flame 
of the altar. And Manoah and 
his wife looked on it, and l fell on 
their faces to the ground. 

21 But the angel of the Lord did 
no more appear to Manoah and 
to his wife. m Then Manoah 
knew that he was an angel of 
the Lord. 

22 And Manoah said unto his 
wife, "• We shall surely die, because 
we have seen God. 

23 But his wife said unto him, If 
the Lord were pleased to kill us, 
he would not have received a 
burnt offering and a meat offering 
at our hands, neither would he 
have showed ° us all these things, 
nor would as at this time have 
told us such things as these. 

24 % And the woman bare a son, 
and called his name 7 Samson: and 
the p child grew, and the Lord 
blessed him.

2 And he came up, and told his 
father and his mother, and said, I 
have seen a woman in Timnath of 
the daughters of the Philistines: 
now therefore c get her for me to 
wife. 

3 Then his father and his mother 
said imto him, Is there never a 
woman among the daughters of 
thy d brethren, or among all my 
people, that thou goest to take a 
wife of the 6 uncircumcised Philis- 
tines? And Samson said unto his 
father, Get her for me ; for x she 
pleaseth me well 

4 But his father and his mother 
knew not that it was f of the Lord, 
that he sought an occasion against 
the Philistines: for at that time 
the Philistines had dominion over 
Israel. 

5 Then went Samson down, and 
his father and his mother, to Tim- 
nath, and came to the vineyards 
of Timnath ; and, behold, a young 
lion roared 2 against him. 

6 And ° the Spirit of the Lord 
came mightily upon him, and he 
rent him as he would have rent a 
kid, and he had nothing in his 
hand: but he told not his father 
or his mother what he had done. 

7 And he went down and talked 
with the woman ; and she pleased 
Samson well. 

8 If And after a tin: he returned 
to take her, and he turned aside 
to see the carcase of the lion; and, 
behold, there was a swarm of bees 
and honey in the carcase of the 
lion. 

9 And he took thereof in his 
hands, and went on eating, and 
came to his father and mother, 
and he gave them, and they did 
eat : but he told not them that he 
had taken the honey out of the 
carcase of the lion. 

10 fl So his father went down 
unto the woman: and Samson 
made there a feast; for so used the 
young men to do. 

11 And it came to pass, when 
they saw him, that they brought 
thirty companions to be with him. 

12 And Samson said unto them, 
I will now A put forth a riddle unto 
you: if ye can certainly declare it 
me * within the seven days of the 
feast, and find it out, then I will 
give you thirty 3 sheets and thirty 
change ■>" of garments: 

13 But if ye cannot declare it me, 
then shall ye give me thirty sheets 
and thirty change of garments. 



Samson slays thirty Philistines. JUDGES, XV. He burns the Philistines' corn. 



And they said unto him, Put forth 
thy riddle, that we may hear it. 

14 And he said unto them, Out 
of the eater came forth meat, and 
out of the strong came forth sweet- 
ness. And they could not in three 
days expound the riddle. 

15 And it came to pass on the 
seventh day, that they said unto 
Samson's wife, k Entice thy hus- 

- handj that he may declare unto us 
the riddle, l lest we bum thee and 
; thy father's house with fire : have 
: ye called us i to take that we have ? 
| is it not so? 

16 And Samson's wife wept be- 
J fore him, and said, m Thou dost 

but hate me, and lovest me not: 
thou hast put forth a riddle unto 
the children of my people, and 
hast not told it me. And he said 

' unto her, Behold, I have not told 
it my father nor my mother, and 

I shall I tell it thee? 

17 And she wept before him 5 the 
seven days, while then feast lasted; 
and it came to pass on the seventh 
day, that he told her, because she 
lay sore upon him : and she told 
the riddle to the children of her 
people. 

18 And the men of the city said 
unto him on the seventh day 
before the sun went down, What 
is sweeter than honey? and what 
is stronger than a lion? And he 
said unto them, If ye had not 
ploughed with my heifer, ye had 

i not found out my riddle. 

! 19 And n the Spirit of the Loed 
came upon him, and he went 
down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty 

I men of them, and took their 
6 spoil, and gave change of gar- 
ments unto them which expounded 
the riddle. And his anger was 
kindled, and he went up to his 
father's house. 

! 20 But Samson's wife was ° given 
to his companion, whom he had 
used as his p friend. 

CHAPTER XV. 
1 Samson is denied his wife: 3 he burns 
the Philistines' com: 9 he is bound by 
the men cf Judah, and delivered to the 
Philistines: 14 he kills them with a jaw- 
bone. 
BU T it came to pass within a 
while after, in the time of 
wheat harvest, that Samson visited 
his wife with a a kid; and he said, 
I will go in to my wife into the 
chamber: but her father would 
not suffer him to go in. 

2 And her father said, I verily 

thought that thou hadst utterly

her. 

3 % And Samson said concerning 
them, 2 Now shall I be more blame- 
less than the Philistines, though I 
do them a displeasure. 

4 And Samson went and caught 
three hundred 3 foxes, and took 
4 firebrands, and turned tail to 
tail, and put a firebrand in the 
midst between two tails. 

5 And when he had set the 
brands on fire, he let them go into 
the standing corn of the Philis- 
tines, and burnt up both the 
shocks, and also the standing 
corn, with the vineyards and 
olives. 

6 Then the Philistines said, Who 
hath done this? And they an- 
swered, Samson, the son-in-law cf 
the Timnite, because he had taken 
his wife, and given her to his 
companion. c And the Philis- 
tines came up, and burnt her and 
her father with fire. 

7 ^ And Samson said unto them. 
Though ye have done this, yet will 
I be avenged of you, and after that 
I will cease. 

8 And he smote them 6 hip and 
thigh with a great slaughter : and 
he went down and dwelt in the 
top of the rock d Etam. 

9 % Then the Philistines went up, 
and pitched in Judah, and spread 
themselves in Lehi. 

10 And the men of Judah said, 
Why are ye come up against us ? 
And they answered, To bind Sam- 
son are we come up, to do to him 
as he hath done to us. 

11 Then three thousand men of 
Judah 6 went to the top of the 
rock Etam, and said to Samson, 
Knowest thou not that the Philis- 
tines are c rulers over us? what is 
this that thou hast done unto us? 
And he said unto them, As they 
did unto me, so have I done unto 
them. 

12 And they said unto him, We 
are come down to bind thee, that 
we may deliver thee into the hand 
of the Philistines. And Samson 
said unto them, Swear unto me, 
that ye will not fall upon me your- 
selves. 

13 And they spake unto him, 
saying, No ; but we will bind thee 
fast, and deliver thee into their 
hand : but surely we will not kill

thee. And they bound him with 
two new curds, and brought him 
up from the rock. 

14 % And when he came unto 
Lehi, the Philistines shouted 
against him: and the Spirit of the 
Lord came mightily upon him, 
and the cords that were upon his 
arms became asflax that was burnt 
with fire, and his bands 7 loosed 
from off his hands. 

15 And he found a 8 new jawbone 
of an ass, and put forth his hand 
and took it, and slew / a thousand 
men therewith. 

16 And Samson said, "With the 
jawbone ^ of an ass, 9 heaps upon 
heaps, with the jaw of an ass have 
I slain a thousand men. 

17 And it came to pass, when he 
had made an end of speaking, that 
he cast away the jawbone out of 
his hand, and called that place 
10 Eamath-lehi. 

18 1f And he was sore athirst, and 
called on the Lord, and said, 
Thou 9 hast given this great de- 
liverance into the hand of thy 
servant : and now shall I die for 
thirst, and fall into the hand of the 
uncircumcised ? 

19 But God clave an hollow place 
that was in n the jaw, and there 
came water thereout; and when 
he had drunk, h his spirit came 

j again, and he revived: wherefore 
he called the name thereof 12 En- 
hakkore, which is in Lehi unto 
this day. 

20 And he judged Israel * in the 
days of the Philistines 13 twenty 
years.

And it came to pass after- 



svard 



ward, that he loved a woman 4 in 
the valley of Sorek, whose name 
was Delilah. 

5 And the lords of the Philistines 
came up unto her, and said unto 
her, b Entice him, and see wherein 
his great strength lieth, and by 
what means we may prevail against 
him, that we may bind him to 
6 afflict him: and we will give 
thee, every one of us, eleven hun- 
dred pieces of silver. 

6 And Delilah said to Samson, 
Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy 
great strength lieth, and wherewith 
thou mightest be bound to afflict 
thee. 

7 And Samson said unto her, If 
they bind me with seven 6 green 
withs that were never dried, then 
shall I be weak, and be as 7 another 
man. 

8 Then the lords of the Philis- 
tines brought up to her seven 
green withs which had not been 
dried, and she c bound him with 
them. 

9 Now there were men lying in 
wait, abiding with her in the 
chamber. And she said unto him, 
The Philistines be upon thee, Sam- 
son. And he brake the withs, as 
a thread of tow is broken when it 
8 toucheth the fire: d so his strength 
was not known. 

10 And Delilah said unto Samson, 
Behold, thou hast mocked me, and 
told me lies : now tell me, I pray 
thee, wherewith thou mightest be 
bound. 

11 And he said unto her, If they 
bind me fast with new ropes 9 that 
never were occupied, then shall I 
be weak, and be as another man. 

12 Delilah therefore took new 
ropes, and bound * him therewith, 
and said unto him, The Philistines 
be upon thee, Samson. And there 
were hers in wait abiding in the 
chamber. And he brake them 
from off his arms like a thread. 

13 And Delilah said unto Samson, 
Hitherto thou hast mocked me, 
and told me lies: tell me where- 
with thou mightest be bound. 
And he said unto her, If thou 
weavest the seven locks of my 
head with the web. 

14 And she fastened it with the 
pin, and said unto him, The Philis- 
tines be upon thee, Samson. And

he awaked out of his sleep, and 
went away with the pin of the 
heam, and with the web. 

15 ^f And she said unto him, 
How / canst thou say, I love thee, 
when thine heart is not with me? 
thou hast mocked me these 
three times, and hast not told 
me wherein thy great strength 
Uetk 

16 And it came to pass, when 
she pressed him daily with her 
words, and urged him, so that his 
soul was 10 vexed unto death, 

17 That he g told her all his heart, 
and said unto her, ft There hath 
not come a razor upon mine head; 
for I have been a Nazarite unto 
God from my mother's womb: if 
I be shaven, then my strength 
will go from me, and I shall be- 
come weak, and be like any other 
man. 

18 And when Delilah saw that he 
had told her all his heart, she sent 
and called for the lords of the 
Philistines, saying, Come up this 
once, for he hath showed me all 
his heart. Then the lords of the 
Philistines came up unto her, and 
brought money in their hand. 

1 9 And * she made him sleep upon 
her knees: and she called for a 
man, and she caused him to shave 
off the seven locks of his head; and 
she began to afflict him, and his 
strength went from him. 

20 And she said, The Philistines 
be upon thee, Samson. And he 
awoke out of his sleep, and said, I 
will go out, as at other times 
before, and shake myself. And he 
wist not that the Lord i was de- 
parted from him. 

21 But the Philistines took him, 
and n put out his eyes, and brought 
him down to Gaza, and bound him 
with fetters of brass ; and he did 
grind in the prison house. 

22 Howbeit the hair of his head 
began to grow again 12 after he was 
shaven. 

23 Then the lords of the Philis- 
tines gathered them together for 
to offer a great sacrifice unto 
13 Dagon their god, and to rejoice: 
for they said, Our god hath deli- 
vered Samson our enemy into our 
hand. 

24 And when the people saw him, 
they praised * then god : for they 
said, Our god hath delivered into 
our hands our enemy, and the 
destroyer of our country, u which 
slew many of us.

25 And it came to pass, when 
their hearts were l merry, that 
they said, Call for Samson, that he 
may make us sport. And they 
called for Samson out of the prison 
house; and he made 15 them sport: 
and they set him between the | 
pillars, 

26 And Samson said unto the lad I 
that held him by the hand, Suffer 
me that I may feel the pillars 
whereupon the house standeth, 
that I may lean upon them. 

27 Now the house was full of men 
and women; and all the lords of 
the Philistines were there ; and 
there were upon the m roof about 
three thousand men and women, 
that beheld while Samson made i 
sport. 

28 And Samson called unto the 
Lord, and said, Lord God, n re- I 
member me, I pray thee, and ! 
strengthen me, I pray thee, only | 
this once, O God, that I may be at 
once avenged of the Philistines 
for my two eyes. 

29 And Samson took hold of the 
two middle pillars upon which the | 
house stood, and ld on which it 
was borne up, of the one with his j 
right hand, and of the other with 
his left. 

30 And Samson said, Let n me 
die with the Philistines. And he j 
bowed himself with all his might ; | 
and the house fell upon the lords, 
and upon all the people that were 
therein: so the dead which he '• 
slew at his death were more than 
they which he slew in his life. 

31 Then his brethren and all the ; 
house of his father came down, j 
and took him, and brought him \ 
up, and ° buried him between 
Zorah and Eshtaol, in the bury- ; 
ing-place of Manoah his father : ] 
and he judged Israel twenty . 
years.

AND there was a man of mount 
Ephraim, whose name was 
Micah. 

2 And he said unto his mother, i 
The eleven hundred shekels of silver 
that were taken from thee, about

of also in mine ears, behold, the 
silver is with me ; I took it. And

eleven hundred shekels of silver to 
his mother, his mother said, I had 
wholly dedicated the silver unto 
the Lord from my hand for my 
son, to 6 make a graven image, 
and a molten image : now there- 
fore I will restore it unto thee. 

4 Yet he restored the money unto 
his mother; and his mother ° took 
two hundred shekels of silver, and 
gave them to the founder, who 
made thereof a graven image and 
a molten image: and they were in 
the house of Micah. 

5 And the man Micah had an 
house of gods, and made d an 
ephod, and e teraphini, and 1 con- 
secrated one of his sons, who 
became his priest. 

6 In / those days there was no king 
in Israel, 9 but every man did that 
which was right in his own eyes. 

7 ^[ And there was a young man 
out h of Beth-lehem-judah, of the 
family of Judah, who was a Levite, 
and he sojourned there. 

8 And the man departed out of 
the city from Beth-lehem-judah to 
sojourn where he could find a 
place: and he came to mount 
Ephrahn, to the house of Micah, 
2 as he journeyed. 

9 And Micah said unto him, 
Whence comest thou? And he 
said unto him, 1 am a Levite of 
Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to 
sojourn where I may find a place. 

10 And Micah said unto him, 
Dwell with me, f and be unto me 
a •>' father and a priest, and I will 
give thee ten shekels of silver by 
the year, and 3 a suit of apparel, 
and thy victuals. So the Levite 
went in. 

11 And the Levite was content 
to dwell with the man ; and the 
young man was unto him as one 
of his sons. 

12 And Micah consecrated the 
Levite; and the young man be- 
came his priest, and was in the 
house of Micah. 

13 Then said Micah, Now know 
I that the Lord will do me good, 
seeing I have a Levite to my 
priest

ance had not fallen unto them 
among the tribes of Israel. 

2 And the children of Dan sent 
of their family five men from their 
coasts, 1 men of valour, from c Zo- 
rah, and from Eshtaol, to d spy out 
the land, and to search it; and 
they said unto them, Go, search 
the land: who when they came to 
mount Ephraim, to the e house of 
Micah, they lodged there. 

3 When they were by the house of 
Micah, they knew the voice of the 
young man the Levite: and they 
turned in thither, and said unto 
him, Who brought thee hither? 
and what makest thou in this 
place'* and what hast thou 
nere? 

4 And he said unto them, Thus 
and thus dealeth Micah with me, 
and hath/ hired me, and I am his 
priest. 

5 And they said unto him, 9 Ask 
counsel, we pray thee, A of God, 
that we may know whether our 
way which we go shall be pros- 
perous. 

6 And the priest said unto them, 
Go * in peace: before the Lord is 
your way wherein ye go. 

7 % Then the five men departed,- 
and came to $ Laish, and saw the 
people that were therein, how they 
dwelt careless, after the manner of 
the Zidonians, quiet and secure; 
and there was no 2 magistrate in 
the land, that might put them to 
shame in any thing ; and they ivere 
far from the Zidonians, and had 
no business with any man. 

8 And they came unto their 
brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol : 
and their brethren said unto them, 
What say ye? 

9 And they said, h Arise, that we 
may go up against them : for we 
have seen the land, and, behold, 
it is very good : and are l ye still ? 
be not slothful to go, and to enter 
to possess the land. 

10 When ye go, ye shall come 
unto a people secure, and to a 
large land : for God hath given it 
into your hands; m a place where 
there is no want of any thing that 
is in the earth. 

11 51 And there went from thence 
of the family of the Danites, out of 
Zorah and out of Eshtaol six 
hundred men 3 appointed with 
weapons of war. 

12 And they went up, and pitched 
in n Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: 
wherefore they called that place

4 Mahaneh-dan unto this day: be-

13 And they passed thence unto 
mount Ephraim. and came unto 
the house of Micah. 

14 Then ° answered the five men 
that went to spy out the country 
of Laish, and said unto their 
brethren, Do ye know that there 
is in p these houses an ephod, and 
teraphim, and a graven image, 
and a molten image? now there- 
fore consider what ye have to do. 

15 And they turned thitherward, 
and came to the house of the 
young man the Levite, even unto 
the house of Micah, and 5 saluted 
him. 

16 And the six hundred men 
appointed with their weapons of 
war, which were of the children of 
Dan, stood by the entering of the 
gate, 

17 And the five men that went 
to spy out the land went up, and 
came in thither, and took 9 the 
graven image, and the ephod, and 
the teraphim, and the molten 
image: and the priest stood in the 
entering of the gate with the six 
hundred men that were appointed 
with weapons of war. 

18 And these went into Micah's 
house, and fetched the carved 
image, the ephod, and the tera- 
phim, and the molten image. 
Then said the priest unto them, 
What do ye? 

19 And they said unto him, Hold 
thy peace, r lay thine hand upon 
thy mouth, and go with us, * and 
be to us a father and a priest : is it 
better for thee to be a priest unto 
the house of one man, or that thou 
be a priest unto a tribe and a 
family in Israel ? 

20 And the priest's heart was 
glad ; and he took the ephod, and 
the teraphim, and the graven 
image, and went in the midst of 
the people. 

21 So they turned and departed, 
and put the little ones and the 
cattle and the carriage before them. 

22 ^ And when they were a good 
way from the house of Micah, the 
men that were in the houses near 
to Micah's house were gathered 
together, and overtook the chil- 
dren of Dan. 

23 And they cried unto the chil- 
dren of Dan. And they turned 
their faces, and said unto Micah, 
What aileth thee, 6 that thou 
com est with such a company?

24 And he said, Ye have taken

and what have I more? and what

25 And the children of Dan said 
unto him, Let not thy voice be 
heard among us, lest ' angry fel- 
lows run upon thee, and 8 thou 
lose thy life, with the lives of thy 
household. 

26 And the children of Dan went 
their way: and when Micah saw 
that they were too strong for him, 
he turned and went back unto his 
house. 

27 And they took the things which 
Micah had made, and the priest 
which he had, and ' came unto 
Laish, unto a people that were at 

auiet and secure: "and they smote 
lem with the edge of the sword, 
and burnt the city with fire. 

28 And there was no deliverer, 
because it was far from v Zidon, 
and they had no business with any 
man; and it was in the valley that 
lieth w by Beth-rehob. And they 
built a city, and dwelt therein. 

29 And x they called the name of 
the city Dan, y after the name of 
Dan their father, who was born 
unto Israel : howbeit the name of 
the city was Laish at the first. 

30 And the children of Dan set 
up the graven image: and Jona- 
than, the son of Gershom, the son 
of Manasseh, he and his sons were 
priests to the tribe of Dan z until 
the day of the captivity of the 
land. 

31 And they set them up Micah's 
graven image, which he made, a all 
the time that the house of God was 
in Shiloh.

AND it came to pass in those 
days, ° when there was no king 
in Israel, that there was a certain 
Levite sojoirrning on the side of 
mount Ephraim, who took to him 
1 a concubine out of b Beth-lehem-

2 And his concubine played the

was there 2 four whole months.

unto her, and to bring her again, 
having his servant with him, and 
a couple of asses: and she brought 
him into her father's house: and 
when the father of the damsel saw 
him, he rejoiced to meet him. 

4 And his father-in-law, the 
damsel's father, retained him; and 
he abode with him three days: so 
they did eat and drink, and lodged 
there. 

5 And it came to pass on the 
fourth day, when they arose early 
in the morning, that he rose up to 
depart: and the damsel's father 
said unto his son-in-law, 4 Comfort 
thine heart with a morsel of bread, 
and afterward go your way. 

6 And they sat down, and did 
eat and drink both of them to- 
gether: for the damsel's father had 
said unto the man, Be content, I 
pray thee, and tarry all night, and 
let thine heart be merry. 

7 And when the man rose up to 
depart, his father-in-law urged 
him; therefore he lodged there 
again. 

8 And he arose early in the 
morning on the fifth day to depart: 
and the damsel's father said, 
Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. 
And they tarried 5 until after noon, 
and they did eat both of them. 

9 And when the man rose up to 
depart, he, and his concubine, and 
his servant, his father-in-law, the 
damsel's father, said unto him, 
Behold, now the day 6 draweth 
toward evening, I pray you tarry 
all night: behold, 7 the day grow- 
eth to an end; lodge here, that 
thine heart may be merry; and 
to-moiTOw get you early on your 
way, that thou mayest go 8 home. 

10 But the man would not tarry 
that night, but he rose up and 
departed, and came 9 over against 
Jebus, c which is Jerusalem; and 
there were with him two asses 
saddled; his concubine also was 
with him. 

11 And when they were by Jebus, 
the day was far spent; and the 
servant said unto his master, 
Come, I pray thee, and let us turn 
in into this city d of the Jebusites, 
and lodge in it. 

12 And his master said unto him, 
We will not turn aside hither into 
the city of a stranger, that is not 
of the children of Israel; we will 
pass over e to Gibeah.

in Gibeah, or in Bamah. 

14 And they passed on and went 
their way; and the sun went down 
upon them when they were by 
Gibeah, which belongeth to Ben- 
jamin. 

15 And they turned aside thither, 
to go in and, to lodge in Gibeah: 
and when he went in, he sat him 
down in a street of the city; for 
tliere was no man that 10 took them 
into his house to lodging. 

16 % And, behold, there came an 
old man from / his work out of the 
field at even, which was also of 
mount Ephraim; and he sojourned 
in Gibeah: but the men of the 
place were u Benjamites. 

17 And when he had lifted up 
his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man 
in the street of the city: and the 
old man said, Whither goest thou? 
and whence comest thou? 

18 And he said unto him, We 
are passing from Beth-lehem-judah 
toward the side of mount Ephraim; 
from thence am I: and I went to 
Beth-lehem-judah, but I am now 
going to 9 the house of the Lord; 
and there is no man that 
12 receiveth me to house. 

19 Yet there is both straw and 
provender for our asses; and there 
is bread and wine also for me, and 
for thy handmaid, and for the 
young man which is with thy 
servants: there is no want of any 
thing. 

20 And the old man said, h Peace 
be with thee: howsoever let all thy 
wants lie upon me; * only lodge 
not in the street. 

21 So i he brought him into his 
house, and gave provender unto 
the asses: k and they washed their 
feet, and did eat and drink. 

22 ^ Now as they were making 
their hearts merry, behold, l the 
men of the city, certain m sons of 
Belial, beset the house round 
about, <mc?beat at the door, and 
spake to the master of the house, 
the old man, saying, " Bring forth 
the man that came into thine 
house, that we may know him. 

23 And ° the man, the master of 
the house, went out unto them, 
and said unto them, Nay, my 
brethren, nay, I pray you, do not 
so wickedly; seeing that this man 
is come into mine house, p do not 
this folly. 

24 Behold, q here is my daughter, 
a maiden, and his concubine;

them I will bring out now, and 
humble r ye them, and do with 
them what seemeth good unto 
you: but unto this man do not 13 so 
vile a thing. 

25 But the men would not 
hearken to him; so the man took 
his concubine, and brought her 
forth unto them; and they * knew 
her, and abused her all the night 
until the morning: and when the 
day began to spring, they let her 
go. 

26 Then came the woman in the 
dawning of the day, and fell down 
at the door of the man's house 
where her lord was, till it was light. 

27 And her lord rose up in the 
morning, and opened the doors 
of the house, and went out to go 
his way; and, behold, the woman 
his concubine was fallen down at 
the door of the house, and her 
hands were upon the threshold. 

28 And he said unto her, Up, and 
let us be going: but * none 
answered Then the man took 
her up upon an ass, and the man 
rose up, and gat him unto his 
place. 

29 ^ And when he was come into 
his house, he took a knife, and laid 
hold on his concubine, M and 
divided her, together with her bones, 
into twelve pieces, and sent her 
into all the coasts of Israel. 

30 And it was so, that all that 
saw it said, There was no such 
deed done nor seen from the day 
that the children of Israel came 
up out of the land of Egypt unto 
this day: consider of it, v take 
advice, and speak your minds.

The Israelites lose forty thousand; 26

THEN ° all the children of Israel

4 And 2 the Levite, the husband 
of the woman that was slain, 
answered and said, I d came into 
Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, 
I and my concubine, to lodge. 

5 And c the men of Gibeah rose 
against me, and beset the house 
round about upon me by night, 
and thought to have slain me; 
and /my concubine have they 
3 forced, that she is dead. 

6 And ° I took my concubine, 
and cut her in pieces, and sent her 
throughout all the country of the 
inheritance of Israel: for h they 
have committed lewdness and 
folly in Israel. 

7 Behold, ye are all children of 
Israel; * give here your advice and 
counsel. 

8 K And all the people arose as 
one man, saying, We will not any 
of us go to his tent, neither will 
we any of us turn into his house: 

9 But now this shall be the thing 
which we will do to Gibeah; we 
will go up by lot against it; 

10 And we will take ten men of 
an hundred throughout all the 
tribes of Israel, and an hundred of 
a thousand, and a thousand out 
of ten thousand, to fetch victual 
for the people, that they may do, 
when they come to Gibeah of 
Benjamin, according to all the 
folly that they have wrought in 
Israel. 

11 So all the men of Israel were 
gathered against the city, * knit 
together as one man. 

12 1f An( i s the tribes of Israel 
sent men through all the tribe of 
Benjamin, saying, What wicked- 
ness is this that is done among 
you? 

13 Now therefore deliver us the 
men, * the children of Belial, 
which are in Gibeah, that we may 
put them to death, and l put away 
evil from Israel. But the children 
of Benjamin would not m hearken 
to the voice of their brethren the 
children of Israel: 

14 But the children of Benjamin 
gathered themselves together out 
of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out 
to battle against the children of 
Israel. 

15 And the children of Benjamin 
were numbered at that time out 
of the cities twenty and six thou- 
sand men that drew sword, besides 
the inhabitants of Gibeah, which 
were numbered seven hundred 
chosen men.

16 Among all this people there

17 And the men of Israel, besides 
Benjamin, were numbered four 
hundred thousand men that drew 
sword: all these were men of 
war. 

18 % And the children of Israel 
arose, and went up to the house 
of God, and ° asked counsel of 
God, and said, Which of us shall 
go up first to the battle against 
the children of Beujamin? And 
the Lord said, Judah shall go up 
first. 

19 And the children of Israel rose 
up in the morning, and encamped 
against Gibeah. 

20 And the men of Israel went 
out to battle against Benjamin; 
and the men of Israel put them- 
selves in array to fight against 
them at Gibeah. 

21 And p the children of Ben- 
jamin came forth out of Gibeah, 
and q destroyed down to the 
ground of the Israelites that day 
twenty and two thousand men. 

22 And the people, the men of 
Israel, encouraged themselves, 
and set their battle again in array, 
in the place where they put them- 
selves in array the first day. 

23 (And the children of Israel 
went up -and wept r before the 
Lord until even, and asked counsel 
of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up 
again to battle against the children 
of Benjamin my brother? And 
the Loud said, Go up against him.) 

24 And the children of Israel 
came near against the children of 
Benjamin the second day. 

25 And Benjamin went forth 
against them out of Gibeah the 
second day, and 8 destroyed down 
to the ground of the children of 
Israel again eighteen thousand 
men; all these drew the sword. 

26 1[ Then all the children of 
Israel, and all the people, went up, 
and came unto the house of God, 
and wept, and sat there before the 
Loed, and fasted that day until 
even, and offered burnt offerings

Eleazar, the son of Aaron, w stood 
before it in those days,) saying. 
Shall I yet again go out to battle 
against the children of Benjamin 
my brother, or shall I cease? And 
the Lord said, Go up; for to- 
morrow I will deliver them into 
thine hand. 

29 % And Israel * set hers in wait 
round about Gibeah. 

30 And the children of Israel 
went up against the children of 
Benjamin on the third day, and 
put themselves in array against 
Gibeah, as at other times. 

31 And the children of Benjamin 
went out against the people, and 
were drawn away from the city; 
and they began Ho smite of the 
people, and kill, as at other times, 
in the highways, of which one 
goeth up to 6 the house of God, 
and the other to Gibeah in the 
field, about thirty men of Israel. 

32 And the children of Benjamin 
said, They are smitten down before 
us, as at the first. But the chil- 
dren of Israel said, Let us flee, 
and draw them from the city unto 
the highways. 

33 And all the men of Israel rose 
up out of their place, and put 
themselves in array at Baal-tamar; 
and the Hers in wait of Israel came 
forth out of their places, even out 
of the meadows of Gibeah. 

34 And there came against 
Gibeah ten thousand chosen men 
out of all Israel, and the battle 
was sore: y but they knew not 
that evil was near them. 

35 And the IjOrd smote Benjamin 
before Israel : and the children of 
Israel destroyed of the Benjamites 
that day twenty and five thousand 
and an hundred men: all these 
drew the sword. 

36 So the children of Benjamin 
saw that they were smitten : * for 
the men of Israel gave place to the 
Benjamites, because they trusted 
unto the liers in wait which they 
had set beside Gibeah. 

37 And * the hers in wait hasted, 
and rushed upon Gibeah ; and the 
liers in wait 7 drew themselves along, 
and smote all the city with the 
edge of the sword. 

38 Now there was an appointed 

8 sign between the men of Israel 

9 and the liers in wait, that they 
should make a great 10 flame with 
smoke to rise up out of the city. 

39 And when the men of Israel 
retired in the battle, Benjamin

began u to smite and kill of the 
men of Israel about thirty persons; 
for they said, Surely they are 
smitten down before us, as in the 
first battle. 

40 But when the flame began to 
arise up out of the city with a 
pillar of smoke, the Benjamites 
looked B behind them, and, be- 
hold, 12 the flame of the city 
ascended up to heaven. 

41 And when the men of Israel 
turned _ again, c the men of 
Benjamin were amazed : for they 
saw that evil 13 was come upon 
them. 

42 Therefore they turned their 
backs before the men of Israel unto 
the way of the wilderness; but 
the battle overtook them; and 
them which came out of the cities 
they destroyed in the midst of 
them. 

m 43 Thus they d inclosed the Ben- 
jamites round about, and chased 
them, and trode them down u with 
ease ?? over against Gibeah toward 
the sun-rising. 

44 And there fell of Benjamin 
eighteen thousand men : all these 
were men of valour. 

45 And they turned and fled 
toward the wilderness unto 6 the 
rock of Kimmon: and they gleaned 
of them in the highways five 
thousand men ; and pursued hard 
after them unto Gidom, and slew 
two thousand men of them. 

46 So that all which fell that day 
of Benjamin were twenty and 
five thousand men that drew the 
sword; all these were men of 
valour. 

47 But / six hundred men turned 
and fled to the wilderness unto 
the rock Bimmon, and abode in 
the rock Bimmon four months. 

48 And the men of Israel turned 
again upon the children of Benja- 
min, and smote them with the 
edge of the sword, as well the men 
of every city, as the beast, and all 
that 16 came to hand: also they set 
on fire all the cities that 17 they 
came to.

even before God, and lifted up 
their voices, and wept sore ; 

3 And said, O Lord God of Israel, 
why is this come to pass in Israel, 
that there should be to-day one 
tribe lacking in Israel ? 

4 And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that the people rose early, 
and c built there an altar, and 
offered burnt offerings and peace 
offerings. 

5 And the children of Israel said, 
Who is there among all the tribes 
of Israel that came not up with 
the congregation unto the Loed? 
For d they had made a great oath 
concerning him that came not up 
to the Loed to Mizpeh, saying, He 
shall surely be put to death. 

6 And the children of Israel 
repented them for Benjamin their 
brother, and said, There is one 
tribe cut off from Israel this day. 

7 How shall we do for wives for 
them that remain, seeing we have 
sworn by the Loed that we will 
not give them of our daughters to 
wives? 

8 ^f And they said, What one is 
there of the tribes of Israel that 
came not up to Mizpeh to the 
Loed? And, behold, there came 
none to the camp from 6 Jabesh- 
gilead to the assembly. 

9 For the people were numbered, 
and, behold, there were none of the 
inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there. 

10 And the congregation sent 
thither twelve thousand men of 
the valiantest, and commanded 
them, saying, / Go and smite the 
inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with 
the edge of the sword, with the 
women and the children. 

11 And this is the thing that ye 
shall do, Ye g shall utterly destroy 
every male, and every woman that 
1 hath lain by man. 

12 And they found among the 
inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four 
hundred 2 young virgins, that had 
known no man by lying with any 
male; and they brought them unto 
the camp to * Shiloh, which is in 
the land of Canaan. 

13 And the whole congregation 
sent -some 3 to speak to the children 
of Benjamin * that were in the rock 
Bimmon, and to 4 call peaceably 
unto them. 

14 And Benjamin came again at 
that time; and they gave them 
wives which they had saved alive 
of the women of Jabesh-gilead;

and yet so they sufficed them, 
not. 

15 And the people repented them 
for Benjamin, because that the 
Lord had made a breach in the 
tribes of Israel. 

16 ^ Then the elders of the con- 
gregation said, How shall we do 
for wives for them that remain, 
seeing the women are destroyed 
out of Benjamin? 

17 And they said, There must be 
an inheritance for them that be 
escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe 
be not destroyed out of Israel. 

18 Howbeit we may not give 
them wives of our daughters: * for 
the children of Israel have sworn, 
saying, Cursed be he that giveth a 
wife to Benjamin. 

19 Then they said, Behold, there 
is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh 
5 yearly, in a place which is on the 
north side of Beth-el, 6 on the east 
side 7 of the highway that goeth 
up from Beth-el to Shechem, and

Go and he in wait in the vine- 
yards;

also both of them; and the woman 
was left of her two sons and hei 
husband. 

6 % Then she arose with her 
daughters-in-law, that she might 
return from the country of Moab : 
for she had heard in the country 
of Moab how that the Lord had 
visited ^ his people in 9 giving them 
bread. 

7 Wherefore she went forth out 
of the place where she was, and 
her two daughters-in-law^ with 
her; and they went on their way 
to return unto the land of Judah. 

8 And Naomi said unto her two 
daughters-in-law, A Go, return

Lord deal kindly with you, as ye 
have dealt with the dead, and with

9 The Lord grant you that ye 
may <?' find rest, each of you in the 
house of her husband. Then she

we will return with thee unto thy 
people. 

11 And Naomi said, Turn again, 
my daughters ; why will ye go 
with me? are there yet any more 
sons in my womb, k that they may 
be your husbands? 

12 Turn again, my daughters, go 
your way; for I am too old to have 
an husband. If I should say, I 
have hope, 3 if I should have an 
husband also to-night, and should 
also bear, sons, 

13 Would ye 4 tarry for them till 
they were grown ? would ye stay 
for them from having husbands ? 
nay, my daughters; for 5 it grieveth 
me much for your sakes, that l the 
hand of the Lord is gone out 
against me. 

14 And they lifted up their voice, 
and wept again: and Orpah kissed 
her mother-in-law; but Ruth 
clave m unto her. 

15 And she said, Behold, thy 
sister-in-law is gone back unto 
her people, and unto her n gods : 
return thou after thy sister-in-law. 

16 And Ruth said, 6 Entreat me 
not to leave thee, or to return from 
following after thee : for whither 
thou goest, I will go ; and where 
thou lodgest, I will lodge : thy 
people shall be my people, and thy 
God my God : 

17 Where thou diest, will I die, 
and there will I be buried: ° the 
Lord do so to me, and more also, 
if ought but death part thee and 
me. 

18 When p she saw that she 7 was 
stedfastly minded to go with her, 
then she left speaking unto her. 

19 H So they two went until they 
came to Beth-lehem. And it came 
to pass, when they were come to 
Beth-lehem, that q all the city was 
moved about them, and they said, 
Is r this Naomi ? 

20 And she said unto them, Call 
me not 8 Naomi, call me 9 Mara : 
for the Almighty hath dealt very 
bitterly -with me. 

21 1 went out full, * and the Lord 
hath brought me home again 
empty: why then call ye me Naomi, 
seeing the Lord hath testified 
against me, and the Almighty 
hath afflicted me ? 

22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth 
the Moabitess,her daughter-in-law, 
with her, which returned out of 
the country of Moab: and they 
came to Beth-lehem * in the be- 
ginning of barley harvest.

CHAPTER H 
1 Ruth cleans in the fields of Boaz: 4 Tie 
takes knowledge of her, and shows her 
favour. 

AN D Naomi had a a kinsman 
of her husband's, a mighty 
man of wealth, of the family of 
Elimelech ; and his name was 
1 Boaz. 

2 And Ruth the Moabitess said 
unto Naomi, Let me now go to 
the field, and glean 6 ears of corn 
after him in whose sight I shall 
find grace. And she said unto 
her, Go, my daughter. 

3 And she went, and came, and 
gleaned in the field after the reap- 
ers: and her 2 hap was to light on 
a part of the field belonging unto 
Boaz, who was of the kindred of 
Elimelech. 

4 ^ And, behold, Boaz came from 
Beth-lehem, and said unto the 
reapers, c The Lord be with you. 
And they answered him, d The 
Lord bless thee. 

5 Then said Boaz unto his servant 
that was set over the reapers, 
Whose damsel is this? 

6 And the servant that was set 
over the reapers answered and 
said, It is the Moabitish damsel 
that e came back with Naomi out 
of the country of Moab: 

7 And she said, I pray you, let 
me glean and gather after the 
reapers among the sheaves: so she 
came, and hath continued even 
from the morning until now, that 
she tarried a little in the house. 

8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, 
Hearest thou not, my daughter? 
Go not to glean in another field, 
neither go from hence, but abide 
here fast by my maidens: 

9 Let thine eyes be on the field 
that they do reap, and go thou 
after them: have I not charged the 
young men that they shall not 
touch thee? and when thou art 
athirst, go unto the vessels, and 
drink of that which the young men 
have drawn. 

10 Then she /fell on her face, 
and bowed herself to the ground, 
and said unto him, Why have I 
found grace in thine eyes, that 
thou shouldest take knowledge of 
me, seeingl am a stranger? 

11 And Boaz answered and said 
unto her, It 9 hath fully been 
showed me ^all that thou hast 
done unto thy mother-in-law since 
the death of thine husband; and 
how thou hast left thy father and 



Boaz shoivs favour to Ruth. 



RUTH, ILL He promises to redeem the inheritance. 



thy mother, and the land of thy 
nativity, and art come unto a 
people which thou knewest not 
heretofore. 

12 The * Lord recompense thy 
work, and a full reward be given 
thee of the Lord God of Israel, 
under 3 whose wings thou art come 
to trust. 

13 Then she said, 3 Let me find 
favour in thy sight, my lord; for 
that thou hast comforted me, and 
for that thou hast spoken 4 friendly 
unto thine handmaid, k though I 
be not like unto one of thine 
handmaidens. 

14 And Boaz said unto her, At 
meal-time come thou hither, and 
eat of the bread, and dip thy 
morsel in the vinegar. And she 
sat beside the reapers: and he 
reached her parched corn, and she 
did eat, and was sufficed, and 
left. 

15 And when she was risen up 
to glean, Boaz commanded his 
young men, saying, Let her glean 
even among the sheaves, and 5 re- 
proach her not: 

16 And let fall also some of the 
handfuls of purpose for her, and 
leave them, that she may glean 
them, and rebuke her not. 

17 So she gleaned in the field 
until even, and beat out that she 
had gleaned: and it was about an 
ephah of barley. 

18 fl And she took it up, and 
went into the city; and her 
mother-in-law saw what she had 
gleaned: and she brought forth, 
and gave to her that she had re- 
served after she was sufficed. 

19 And her mother-in-law said 
unto her, Where hast thou gleaned 
to-day? and where wroughtest 
thou? blessed be he that did P take 
knowledge of thee. And she 
showed her mother-in-law with 
whom she had wrought, and said. 
The man's name with whom 1 
wrought to-day is Boaz. 

20 And Naomi said unto her 
daughter-in-law, m Blessed be he of 
the Lord, who n hath not left off 
his kindness to the living and to 
the dead. And Naomi said unto 
her, The man is near of kin unto 
us, 6 one of our next kinsmen. 

21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, 
He said unto me also, Thou shalt 
keep fast by my young men, until 
they have ended all my harvest. 

22 And Naomi said unto Ruth 
her daughter-in-law, It is good,

my daughter, that thou go out 
with his maidens, that they 7 meet 
thee not in any other field. 
23 So she kept fast by the 
maidens of Boaz to glean unto the 
end of barley harvest and of wheat 
harvest; and dwelt with her 
mother-in-law. 

CHAPTER ILL 

1 By Naomi's instruction, 6 Ruth lies at 
Boaz's feet, who acknowledges the duty 
of a kinsman, 14 Jdis present to Ruth. 

THEN Naomi her mother-in- 
law said unto her, My 
daughter, ° shall I not seek h rest 
for thee, that it may be well with 
thee? 

2 And now is not Boaz of our 
kindred, with c whose maidens 
thou wast? Behold, he winnow- 
eth barley to-night in the thresh- 
ing-floor. 

3 Wash thyself therefore, d and 
anoint thee, and put thy raiment 
upon thee, and get thee down to 
the floor: but make not thyself 
known unto the man, until he 
shall have done eating and 
drinking. 

4 And it shall be, when he lieth 
down, that thou shalt mark the 
place where he shall he, and thou 
shalt go in, and * uncover his feet, 
and lay thee down; and he will 
tell thee what thou shalt do. 

5 And she said unto her, * All 
that thou sayest unto me I will do. 

6 % And she went down unto the 
floor, and did according to all that 
her mother-in-law bade her. 

7 And when Boaz had eaten and 
drunk, and / his heart was merry, 
he went to lie down at the end of 
the heap of corn: and she came 
softly, and uncovered his feet, and 
laid her down. 

8 ^f And it came to pass at mid- 
night, that the man was afraid, 
and 2 turned himself; and, behold, 
a woman lay at his feet. 

9 And he said, Who art thou? 
And she answered, I am Ruth 
thine handmaid: spread 9 therefore 
thy skirt over thine handmaid; 
for thou art 3 a near kinsman. 

10 And he said, h Blessed be thou 
of the Lord, my daughter; for thou 
hast showed more kindness in the 
latter end than l at the beginning, 
inasmuch as thou f olio wedst not 
young men, whether poor or rich. 

11 And now, my daughter, fear 
not; I will do to thee all that thou 
requirest: for all the 4 city of my

and marries Ruth. 



people doth know that thou i art a 
virtuous woman. 

12 And now it is true that I am 
thy near kinsman: howheit k there 
is a kinsman nearer than I. 

13 Tarry this night, and it shall 
be in the morning, that if he l will 
perform unto thee the part of a 
kinsman, well; let him do the 
kinsman's part: but if he will not 
do the part of a kinsman to thee, 
then will I do the part of a 
kinsman to thee, m as the Lord 
liveth: he down until the morning. 

14 1[ And she lay at his feet until 
the morning: and she rose up 
before one could know another. 
And he said, n Let it not be known 
that a woman came into the floor. 

15 Also he said, Bring the veil 
that thou hast upon thee, and hold 
it. And when she held it, he 
measured six measures of barley, 
and laid it on her: and she went 
into the city. 

16 And when she came to her 
mother-in-law, she said, Who art 
thou, my daughter? And she told 
her all that the man had done to 
her. 

17 And she said, These six 
measures of barley gave he me; for 
he said to me, Go not empty unto 
thy mother-in-law. 

18 Then said she, Sit still, my 
daughter, until thou know how 
the matter will fall: for the man 
will not be in rest until he have 
finished the thing this day. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Boaz calls into judgment the next kins- 
man: 6 he refusing the redemption, 9 
Boaz marries Ruth. 13 She bears Obed. 

THEN went Boaz up to the gate, 
and sat him down there: and, 
behold, "the kinsman of whom 
Boaz spake came by; unto whom 
he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, 
sit down here. And he turned 
aside, and sat down. 

2 And he took ten men of b the 
elders of the city, and said, Sit ye 
down here. And they sat down. 

3 And he said unto the kinsman, 
Naomi, that is come again out of 
the country of Moab, selleth a 
parcel of land, which was our 
brother Elimelech's: 

4 And x I thought to advertise 
thee, saying, c Buy it d before the 
inhabitants, and before the elders 
of my people. Bf thou wilt redeem 
it, redeem it; but if thou wilt not 
redeem it, then tell me, that I may 
know: e for there is none to redeem

it besides thee; and I am after thee. 
And he said, I will redeem it 

5 Then said Boaz, What day 
thou buyest the field of the hand 
of Naomi, thou must buy it also of 
Kuth the Moabitess, the wife of 
the dead, / to raise up the name of 
the dead upon his inheritance. 

6 And 9 the kinsman said, I can- 
not redeem it for myself, lest I mar 
mine own inheritance: redeem 
thou my right to thyself; for I 
cannot redeem it. 

7 Now * this was the manner in 
former time in Israel concern- 
ing redeeming, and concerning 
changing, for to confirm all things; 
a man plucked off his shoe, and 
gave it to his neighbour: and this 
was a testimony in Israel. 

8 Therefore the kinsman said 
unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he 
drew off his shoe. 

9 % And Boaz said unto the 
elders, and unto all the people, Ye 
are witnesses this day, that I have 
bought all that was Elimelech's 
and all that was Chilion's and 
Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. 

10 Moreover Kuth the Moabitess, 
the wife of Mahlon, have I pur- 
chased to be my wife, to raise up 
the name of the dead upon his 
inheritance, * that the name of the 
dead be not cut off from among 
his brethren, and from the gate of 
his place: ye are witnesses this 
day. 

11 And all the people that were 
in the gate, and the elders, said, 
We are witnesses. ■? The Lord 
make the woman that is come 
into thine house like Bachel and 
like Leah, which two did k build 
the house of Israel: and 2 do thou 
worthily in l Ephratah, and be 
3 famous in Beth-lehem: 

12 And let thy house be like the 
house of Pharez, m whom Tamar 
bare unto Judah, of n the seed 
which the Lord shall give thee of 
this young woman. 

13 \ So Boaz took Ruth, and she 
was his wife: and when he went 
in unto her, ° the Lord gave 
her conception, and she bare a 
son. 

14 And ^the women said unto 
Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which 
hath not 4 left thee this day with- 
out a 5 kinsman, that his name 
may be famous in Israel. 

15 And he shall be unto thee a 
restorer of thy life, and 6 anourisher 
of 7 thine old age: for thy daughter-

1 Of Elkanah and his two wives. 9 Han- 
iiah's prayer; 19 they ivorship. 20 
Samuel bom. 

NOW there was a certain man 
of Eamathaim-zophim, of 
mount Ephraim, and his name 
was ° Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, 
the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu r 
the son of Zuph, b an Ephrathite: 

2 And he had two wives; the 
name of the one was Hannah, and 
the name of the other Peninnah: 
and Peninnah had children, but 
Hannah had no children. 

3 And this man went up out of 
his city l yearly c to worship and 
to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts 
in d Shiloh. And the two sons of 
Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the 
priests of the Lord, were there. 

4 And when the time was that 
Elkanah offered, he gave to 
Peninnah his wife, and to all her 
sons and her daughters, portions: 

5 But unto Hannah he gave 2 a 
worthy portion; for he loved Han- 
nah : s but the Lord had shut up 
her womb. 

6 And her adversary also 3 pro- 
voked her sore, for to make her 
fret, because the Lord had shut up 
her womb. 

7 And as he did so / year by year, 
4 when she went up to the house 
of the Lord, so she provoked her ; 
therefore she wept, and did not 
eat. 

8 Then said Elkanah her hus- 
band to her, Hannah, why weep- 
est thou ? and why eatest thou 
not? and why is thy heart grieved? 
am not 1 9 better to thee than ten 
sons?

9 J So Hannah rose up after they 
had eaten in Shiloh, and after 
they had drunk. Now Eli the 
priest sat upon a seat by a post of 
the h temple of the Lord. 

10 And * she was 5 in bitterness 
of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, 
and wept sore. 

11 Ana she i vowed a vow, and 
said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt 
indeed k look on the affliction of 
tliine handmaid, and l remember 
me^ and not forget thine hand- 
maid, but wilt give unto thine 
handmaid 6 a man child, then 1 
will give him unto the Lord all 
the days of his life, and m there 
shall no razor come upon his head. 

12 f And it came to pass, as she 

7 continued praying before the 
Lord, that Eli marked her mouth. 

13 Now Hannah, she spake in her 
heart; only her lips moved, but 
her voice was not heard: there- 
fore Eli thought she had been 
drunken. 

14 And Eli said unto her, How 
long wilt thou be drunken ? put 
away thy wine from thee. 

15 And Hannah answered and 
said, No, my lord ; I am a woman 

8 of a sorrowful spirit : I have 
drunk neither wine nor strong 
drink, but have n poured out my 
soul before the Lord. , 

16 Count not thine handmaid for 
a daughter of ° Belial: for out of 
the abundance of my 9 com- 
plaint and grief have I spoken 
hitherto. 

17 Then Eli answered and said, 
Go p in peace: and s the God of 
Israel grant thee thy petition that 
thou hast asked of him.

18 And she said, r Let thine 
handmaid find grace in thy sight. 
So the woman went * her way, 
and did eat, and her countenance 
was no more sad. 

19 % m And they rose up in the 
morning early, and worshipped 
hefore the Lord, and returned, 
and came to their house to Ra- 
mah: and Elkanah knew Hannah 
his wife; and the 'Lord remem- 
bered her. 

20 Wherefore it came to pass, 
10 when the time was come about 
after Hannah had conceived, that 
she bare a son, and called his 
name u Samuel, saying, Because I 
have asked him of the Lord. 

21 And the man Elkanah, and 
all his house, went up to offer unto 
the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and 
his vow. 

22 But Hannah went not up; for 
she said unto her husband, I will 
not go up until the child be weaned, 
and then I will M bring him, that he 
may appear before the Lord, and 
there v abide for ever. 

23 And w Elkanah her husband 
said unto her, Do what seemeth 
thee good; tarry until thou have 
weaned him; x only the Lord 
establish his word. So the woman 
abode, and gave her son suck until 
she weaned him. 

24 1f And when she had weaned 
him, she took y him up with her, 
with three bullocks, and one ephah 
of flour, and a bottle of wine, and 
brought him unto the house of the 
Lord in Shiloh : and the child was 
young. 

25 And they slew a bullock, and 
brought the child to Eh. 

26 And she said, Oh my lord, as 
thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the 
woman that stood by thee here, 
praying unto the Lord. 

27 For * this child I prayed ; and 
the Lord hath given me my peti- 
tion which I asked of him: 

28 Therefore also I have 12 lent 
him to the Lord; as long as he 
liveth u he shall be lent to the 
Lord. And he a worshipped the 
Lord there.

2 There d is none holy as the Lord: 
for there is e none besides thee ; 
neither is there any rock like our 
God. 

3 Talk no more so exceeding 
proudly; / let not i arrogancy come 
out of your mouth: for the Lord is 
a God of knowledge, and by him 
actions are weighed. 

4 The bows of the mighty men 
are broken, and they that stumbled 
are girded with strength. 

5 They 9 that were full have hired 
out themselves for bread; and they 
that were hungry ceased: so that 
the h barren hath born seven; and 
she * that hath many children is 
waxed feeble. 

6 The i Lord killeth, and maketh 
alive: he bringeth down to the 
grave, and bringeth up. 

7 The Lord * maketh poor, and 
maketh rich : l he bringeth low, 
and lifteth up. 

8 He m raiseth up the poor out of 
the dust, and lifteth up the beggar 
from the dunghill, "to set mem 
among princes, and to make them 
inherit the throne of glory* for the 
pillars ° of the earth are the Lord's, 
and he hath set the world upon 
them. 

9 He p will keep the feet of his 
saints, and the wicked shall be 
silent in darkness; for by ? strength 
shall no man prevail. 

10 The adversaries of the Lord 
shall be broken to pieces; out of 
heaven shall he thunder upon 
them : r the Lord shall judge the 
ends of the earth; and he shall 
give strength unto his king, and 
exalt the horn of his anointed 

11 % And Elkanah went to Ra- 
man to his house. s And the child 
did minister unto the Lord before 
Eh the priest. 

12 Now the sons of Eh were ' sons 
of Belial; M they knew not the 
Lord. 

13 And the priest's custom with 
the people was, tliat, when any man 
offered sacrifice, the priest's ser- 
vant came, while the flesh was in 
seething, with a flesh-hook of three 
teeth in his hand; 

14 And he struck it into the pan. 
or kettle, or caldron, or pot; ali 
that the flesh-hook brought up the 
priest took for himself So they 
did in Shiloh unto all the Israel- 
ites that came thither. 

15 Also before they burnt the fftt,

the priest's servant came, and said 
to the man that sacrificed, Give 
flesh to roast for the priest; for he 
will not have sodden flesh of thee, 
but raw. 

16 And if any man said unto him, 
Let them not fail to burn the fat 

2 presently, and then take as much 
as thy soul desireth; then he would 
answer him, Nay; but thou shalt 
give it me now: and if not, I will 
take it by force. 

17 Wherefore the sin of the young 
men was very great " before the 
Lord ; for men abhorred w the 
offering of the Lord. 

18 \ But Samuel ministered be- 
fore the Lord, being a child, 
girded x with a linen ephod. 

19 Moreover his mother made 
him a little coat, and brought it 
to him from year to year, when she 
came up with her husband to offer 
the yearly sacrifice. 

20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and 
his wife, and said, The Lord give 
thee seed of this woman, for the 

3 loan which is lent to the Lord. 
And they went unto their own 
home. 

21 And the Lord y visited Han- 
nah, so that she conceived, and 
bare three sons and two daughters. 
And the child Samuel * grew before 
the Lord. 

22 % Now Eli was very old, and 
heard all that his sons did unto all 
Israel; and how they lay with the 
women that i assembled at the 
door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation. 

23 And he said unto them, Why 
do ye such things? for 5 I hear of 
your evil dealings by all this 
people. 

24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good 
report that I hear: ye make the 
Lord's people 6 to transgress. 

25 If one man sin against another, 
the judge shall judge him; but if a 
man a sin against the Lord, who 
shall entreat for him? Notwith- 
standing they hearkened not unto 
the voice of their father, b because 
the Lord would slay them. 

26 And the child Samuel grew 
on, and was in c favour both with 
the Lord, and also with men. 

27 % And d there came a man of 
God unto EH, and said unto him, 
Thus saith the Lord, 6 Did I plainly 
appear unto the house of thy father,

the house of thy father all the 
offerings made by fire of the chil- 
dren of Israel ? 

29 Wherefore h kick ye at my 
sacrifice and at mine offering, 
which I have commanded in * my 
habitation ; and honourest thy

fat with the chiefest of all the 
offerings of Israel my people? 

30 Wherefore the Lord God of 
Israel saith, I said indeed, iliat thy

2 The Lord appears to Samuel in a vision, 
11 and reveals to him the destruction of 
Mi's house. 

AN D the child Samuel minis- 
tered unto the Lord before 



God caMeth Samuel 



1 SAMUEL, IV. Israel overcome by the Philistines. 



Eli And a the word of the Lord 
was precious in those days; there 
was no open vision. 

2 And it came to pass at that 
time, when Eh was laid down in 
his place, and his eyes began 
to wax dim, thai he could not 

3 And ere h the lamp of God went 
out in the temple of the Lobd, 
where the ark of God was, and 
Samuel was laid down to sleep; 

4 That the Lord called Samuel : 
and he answered, Here am I. 

5 And he ran unto Eh, and said, 
Here ami; for thou calledst me. 
An d he said, I called not; lie down 
again. And he went and lay dowu. 

6 And the Lord caUed yet again, 
Samuel And Samuel arose and 
went to Eli, and said, Here am I ; 
for thou didst call me. And he 
answered. I called not, my son; he 
down again. 

7 x Now Samuel c did not yet 
know the Lord, neither was the 
word of the Lord yet revealed 
unto him. 

8 And the Lord called Samuel 
again the third time. And he 
arose and went to Eli, and said, 
Here am I; for thou didst call me. 
And Eh perceived that the Lord 
had called the child. 

9 Therefore Eh said unto Samuel, 
Go, he down: and it shall he, if he 
call thee, that thou shalt say, 
Speak, Lord ; for thy servant 
heareth. So Samuel went and lay 
down hi his place. 

10 And the Lord came, and stood, 
and called as at other times, 
Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel 
answered, d Speak ; for thy servant 
heareth. 

11 % And the Lord said to Samuel, 
Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, 
at which "both the ears of every 
one that heareth it shall tingle. 

12 In that day I will perform 
against Eh all e things which I 
have spoken concerning his house: 
2 when I begin, I will also make 
an end. 

13 3 For I have told him that I 
will judge his house for ever for 
the iniquity which he laioweth; 
because / his sons made them- 
selves 4 vile, and he 5 restrained 
them not. 

14 And therefore I have sworn 
unto the house of Eli, that the 
iniquity of Eli's house shall 9 not 
be purged with sacrifice nor offer- 
ing for ever.

15 *\\ And Samuel lay until the 
morning, and opened the doors of 
the house of the Lord. And 
Samuel feared to show Eh the 
vision.

said, Samuel, my son. And he 
answered, Here am L

6 more also, if thou hide any

let him do what seemeth him 
good. 

19 And Samuel grew, and S the 
Lord was with him, u and did let 
none of his words fall to the 
ground. 

20 And ah Israel, l from Dan even 
to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel 
was 9 established to be a prophet of

again in Shiloh: for the Lord re-

1 Israel overcome by the Phi'istines. li 
The ark taken, and Hophni and Phine*

falls backward, and his neck breaks, etc. 

AND the word of Samuel l came 
to all Israel. Now Israel 
went out against the Philistines 
to battle, and pitched "beside 
Eben-ezer: and the Philistines 
pitched in Aphek. 

2 And the Philistines put them- 
selves in array against Israel: and 
when 2 they joined battle, Israel 
was smitten before the Philistines: 
and they slew of 3 the army in the 
field about four thousand men. 

3 *§ And when the people were 
come into the camp, the elders of 
Israel said, Wherefore hath the 
Lord smitten us to-day before the 
Philistines? Let us 4 fetch the ark 
of the covenant of the Lord out of 
Shiloh unto us, that, when it 
cometh among us, it may save us 
out of the hand of our enemies. 

4 So the people sent to Shiloh, 
that they might bring from thence 
the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord of hosts, b which dwelleth 
between c the cherubim: and the 
two sons of Eh, Hophni and

of the covenant of God. 

5 And when the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord came into the 
camp, all Israel shouted with a 
great shout, so that the earth rang 
again. 

6 And when the Philistines 
heard the noise of the shout, they 
said, What meaneth the noise of 
this great shout in the camp of the 
Hebrews? And they understood 
that the ark of the Lord was come 
into the camp. 

7 And the Philistines were afraid: 
for they said, God is come into the 
camp. And they said, Woe unto 
us! for there hath not been such a 
thing 5 heretofore. 

8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver 
us out of the hand of these mighty 
Gods? these are the Gods that 
smote the Egyptians with all the 
plagues in the wilderness. 

9 Be d strong, and (juit yourselves 
like men, ye Philistines! that ye 
be not servants unto the Hebrews, 
as e they have been to you: 6 quit 
yourselves like men, and fight 

10 1f And the Philistines fought, 
and 'Israel was smitten, and they 
fled every man into his tent: and 
there was a very great slaughter; 
for there fell of Israel thirty thou- 
sand footmen. 

11 And 9 the ark of God was 
taken; A and the two sons of Eh, 
Hophni and Phinehas, 7 were slain. 

12 ^f And there ran a man of 
Benjamin out of the army, and 
came to Shiloh the same day, with 
his clothes rent, and * with earth 
upon his head. 

13 And when he came, lo, Eh sat 
upon i a seat by the way-side 
watching: for his heart trembled 
for the ark of God. And when 
the man came into the city, and 
told it, all the city cried out. 

14 And when Eh heard the noise 
of the crying, he said, What mean- 
eth the noise of this tumult? And 
the man came in hastily, and told 
Eli. 

15 Now Eh was ninety and eight 
years old; and his eyes 8 were dim , 
that he could not see. 

16 And the man said unto Eli, I 
am he that came out of the army, 
and I fled to-day out of the army. 
And he said, * What 9 is there

18 And it came to pass, when he 
made mention of the ark of God, 
that he fell from off the seat back- 
ward by the side of the gate, and 
his neck brake, and he died; for 
he was an old man, and heavy. 
And he had judged Israel forty 
years.

near 10 to be delivered: and when 
she heard the tidings that the ark 
of God was taken, and that her 
father-in-law and her husband 
were dead, she bowed herself and 
travailed; for her pains u came 
upon her. 

20 And about the time of her 
death l the women that stood by 
her said unto her, Fear not; for 
thou hast bom a son. But she 
answered not, ^neither did she 
regard it. 

21 And she named the child

departed from Israel: because the 
ark of God was taken, and because 
of her father-in-law and her hus- 
band. 

22 And she said, The glory is 
departed from Israel; for the ark 
of God is taken. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 The Philistines bring the ark into the 
house of Dagon. 3 Dagon falls doum. 
6, 9, 12 The Philistines are smitten witli 
emerods. 

AND the Philistines took the 
ark of God, and brought it 
from Eben-ezer imto Ashdod. 

2 When the Philistines took the 
ark of God, they brought it into 
the house of Dagon, and set it by 
Dagon. 

3 f And when they ol Ashdod 
arose early on the morrow, behold, 
Dagon" was fallen b upon his face 
to the earth before the ark of the 
Lord. And they took Dagon, and 
set c him in his place again. 

4 And when they arose early on 
the morrow morning, behold, 
Dagon was fallen upon his face to 
the ground before the ark of d the 
Lord; and 6 the head of Dagon 
and both the palms of his hands 
were cut off upon the threshold; 
only * the stump of Dagon was left 
to him. 

5 Therefore neither the priests of 
Dagon, nor any that come into 



The Philistines smitten with enierods. 1 S AMUEL, VI. 



They restore the ark. 



Dagon' s house, tread ''on the 
threshold of Dagon in Ashdod 
unto this day. 

6 1f But 9 the hand of the Lord 
was heavy upon them of Ashdod, 
and he h destroyed them, and 
smote them with • emerods, even 
Ashdod and the coasts thereof. 

7 And when the men of Ashdod 
saw that it was so, they said, The 
ark of the God of Israel shall not 
abide with us: for his hand is sore 
upon us, and upon Dagon our 
god. 

8 They sent therefore, and 
gathered all the lords of the 
Philistines unto them, and said, 
What shall we do with the ark of 
the God of Israel? And they an- 
swered, Let the ark of the God of 
Israel be carried about unto Gath. 
And they earned the ark of the 
God of Israel about thither. 

9 And it was so, that, after they 
had carried it about, i the hand of 
the Lord was against the city with 
a very great destruction: and * he 
smote the men of the city, both 
small and great, and they had 
emerods in their secret parts. 

10 «[ Therefore they sent the ark 
of God to Ekron. And it came to 
pass, as the ark of God came to 
Ekron, that the Ekronites cried 
out, saying, They have brought 
about the ark of the God of Israel 
to 2 us, to slay us and our people. 

11 So they sent and gathered 
together all the lords of the 
Philistines, and said, Send away 
the ark of the God of Israel, and 
let it go again to his own place, 
that it slay 3 us not, and our 

I people: for there was a deadly 
destruction throughout all the 
city; the hand of God was very 
heavy there. 

12 And the men that died not 
were smitten with the emerods: 
and l the ciy of the city went up 
to heaven. 

CHAPTER VL 

1 The Philistines counsel how to send back 
the ark: 10 They bring it on a new cart 
with an offering to Beth-shemesh. 19 
The Beth-shemites smitten for looking 
into the ark. 

AND the ark of the Lord was 
in the country of the Philis- 
tines seven months. 

2 And the Philistines "called 
for the priests and the diviners, 
saying, What shall we do to the 
ark of the Lord? tell us wherewith 
we shall send it to his place.

they went. 



3 And they said, If ye send away 
the ark of the God of Israel, send 
it not b empty; but in any wise 
return him c a trespass offering: 
then ye shall be healed, and it 
shall be known to you why his 
hand is not removed from you. 

4 Then said they. What shall be 
the trespass offering which we 
shall return to him? They an- 
swered, Five golden emerods, and 
five golden mice, d according to the 
number of the lords of the Philis- 
tines: for one plague was on 1 you 
all, and on your lords. 

5 Wherefore ye shall make 
images of your emerods, and 
images of your mice that e mar 
the land; and ye shall /give glory 
unto the God of Israel: peradven- 
ture he will ° lighten his hand 
from off you, and from off your 
gods, and from off your land. 

6 Wherefore then do ye harden 
your hearts, h as the Egyptians 
and Pharaoh hardened their 
hearts? when he had wrought 
2 wonderfully among them, * did 
they not let 3 the people go, and 
they departed? 

7 Now therefore make t a new 
cart, and take two milch kine, 
on k which there hath come no 
yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, 
and bring their calves home from 
them: 

8 And take the ark of the Lord, 
and lay it upon the cart; and put 
the jewels of gold, which ye return 
him for a trespass offering, in a 
coffer by the side thereof; and 
send it away, that it may go. 

9 And see, if it goeth up by the 
way of his own coast to l Beth- 
shemesh, then 4 he hath done us 
this great evil: but if not, then we 
shall know that it is not his hand 
that smote us; it was a chance that 
happened to us. 

10 ^f And the men did so; and 
took two milch kine, and tied 
them to the cart, and shut up 
their calves at home: 

11 And they laid the ark of the 
Lord upon the cart, and the 
coffer with the mice of gold, and 
the images of their emerods, 

12 And the kine took the straight 
way to the way of Beth-shemesh, 
and 5 went along the highway, 
lowing as they went, and turned 
not aside to the right hand or to 
the left; and the lords of the 
Philistines went after them unto 
the border of Beth-shemesh. 



The Beth-shemites .smitten. 



1 SAMUEL, VII. The Philistines defeated at Mizpeh. 



13 And they of Beth-shemesh 
were reaping their wheat harvest 
in the valley: and they lifted up 
their eyes, and saw the ark, and 
rejoiced to see it. 

14 And the cart came into the 
field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, 
and stood there, where there was a 
great stone: and they clave the 
wood of the cart, and offered the 
kine a burnt offering unto the 
Lord. 

15 And the Levites took down 
the ark of the Lord, and the coffer 
that was with it, wherein the 
jewels of gold were, and put tliem 
on the great stone: and the men 
of Beth-shemesh offered burnt 
offerings and sacrificed sacrifices 
the same day unto the Lord. 

16 And when m the five lords 
of the Philistines had seen it, 
they returned to Ekron the same 
day. 

17 And these are the golden 
emerods which the Philistines re- 
turned for a trespass offering unto 
the Lord: for Ashdod one, for 
Gaza one, for Askelon one, for 
Gath one, for Ekron one; 

18 And the golden mice, according 
to the number of all the cities of 
the Philistines belonging to the five 
lords, both of fenced cities, and of 
country villages, even unto the 
G great stone o/Abel, whereon they 
set down the ark of the Lord; 
which stone remaineth unto this day 
in the field of Joshua, the Beth- 
shemite. 

19 K And * he smote the men of 
Beth-shemesh, because they had 
looked into the ark of the Lord, 
even he smote of the people fifty 
thousand and threescore and ten 
men. And the people lamented, 
because the Lord had smitten 
■many of the people with a great 
slaughter. 

20 And the men of Beth-shemesh 
said, "Who ° is able to stand before 
this holy Lord God? and to whom 
shall he go up from us? 

21 And they sent messengers to 
the inhabitants 1 ' of Kirjath-jearim, 
saying, The Philistines have 
brought again the ark of the Lord; 
come ye down, and fetch it up to 
you.

the ark of the Lord, and brought 
it into the house of b Abinadab in 
the hill, and sanctified Eleazar 
his son to keep the ark of the 
Lord. 

2 And it came to pass, while the 
ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that 
the time was long; for it was 
twenty years: and all the house of 
Israel lamented after the Lord. 

3 ^ And Samuel spake unto all 
the house of Israel, saying, If ye 
do c return unto the Lord with all 
your hearts, then d put away the 
strange gods and 6 Ashtaroth from 
among you, and /prepare your 
hearts unto the Lord, and 9 serve 
him only; and he will deliver you 
out of the hand of the Philistines. 

4 Then the children of Israel did 
put away Baalim h and Ashtaroth, 
and served the Lord only. 

5 And Samuel said, * Gather all 
Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray 
for you unto the Lord. 

6 And they gathered together to 
Mizpeh, and ^'drew water, and 
poured it out before the Lord, and 
fasted *on that day, and said 
there, J We have sinned against 
the Lord. And Samuel judged 
the children of Israel in Mizpeh. 

7 And when the Philistines heard 
that the children of Israel were 
gathered together to Mizpeh, the 
lords of the Philistines went up 
against Israel. And when the 
children of Israel heard it, they 
were afraid of the Philistines. 

8 And the children of Israel said 
to Samuel, l Cease not to cry unto 
the Lord our God for us, that he 
will save us out of the hand of the 
Philistines. 

9 And Samuel took a sucldng 
lamb, and offered it for a burnt 
offering wholly unto the Lord: 
and m Samuel cried unto the Lord 
for Israel; and the Lord 2 heard 
him. 

10 And as Samuel was offering 
up the burnt offering, the Philis- 
tines drew near to battle against 
Israel: w but the Lord thundered 
with a great thunder on that day 
upon the Philistines, and discom- 
fited them; and they were smitten 
before Israel 

11 And the men of Israel went 
out of Mizpeh, and pursued the 
Phihstines, and smote them, until 
they came under Beth-car. 

12 Then Samuel took a stone, 
and set it between Mizpeh and 
Shen, and called the name of it

3 Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath 
the Lord helped us. 

13 So ° the Philistines were sub- 
dued, and they ^came no more 
into the coast of Israel: and the 
hand of the Lord was against 
the Philistines all the days of 
Samuel. 

14 And the cities which the Philis- 
tines had taken from Israel were 
restored to Israel, from Ekron even 
unto Gath; and the coasts thereof 
did Israel deliver out of the hands 
of the Philistines. And there 
was peace between Israel and the 
Amorites. 

15 f And Samuel q judged Israel 
all the days of his life. 

16 And he went from year to year 

4 in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, 
and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in 
all those places. 

17 And his return was to Eamah; 
for there was his house; and there 
he judged Israel; and there he 
built r an altar unto the Lord. 

CHAPTER VHI. 

1 By the occasion of the ill government of 
Samuel's sons,the Israelites ask a king. 
19 Samuel describes how the king vjould 
rule over them. 

AND it came to pass, when 
Samuel was old, that he a made 
his 6 sons judges over Israel. 

2 Now the name of his first-born 
was x Joel, and the name of his 
second, Abiah: they were judges in 
Beer-sheba. 

3 And his sons c walked not in his 
ways, but turned aside after d lucre, 
and 6 took bribes, and perverted 
judgment. 

4 Then all the elders of Israel 
gathered themselves together, and 
came to Samuel unto Bamah, 

5 And said unto him, Behold, 
thou art old, and thy sons walk 
not in thy ways: now /make us a 
king to judge us like all the 
nations. 

6 1[ But the thing 2 displeased 
Samuel, when they said, Give us 
a king to judge us. And Samuel 
prayed 9 unto the Lord. 

7 And the Lord said unto 
Samuel, Hearken unto the voice 
of the people in all that they say 
unto thee: for h they have not re- 
jected thee, but * they have reject- 
ed me, that I should not reign over 
them. 

8 According to all the works 
which they have done since the 
day that I brought them up out of 
Egypt even unto this day, where-

with they have forsaken me, and

unto thee. 

9 Now therefore 3 hearken unto 
their voice: 4 howbeit yet protest 
solemnly unto them, and show 
them the manner of the king that 
shall reign over them. 

1© % And Samuel told all the 
words of the Lord unto the people 
that asked of him a king. 

11 And he said, i This will be the 
manner of the king that shall 
reign over you: k He will take your 
sons, and appoint them for himself, 
for his chariots, and to be his horse- 
men; and some shall run before his 
chariots. 

12 And he will appoint him cap- 
tains over thousands, and captains 
over fifties; and will set them to ear 
his ground, and to reap his har- 
vest, and to make his instruments 
of war, and instruments of his 
chariots. 

13 And he will take your daugh- 
ters to be confectionaries, and to be 
cooks, and to be bakers. 

14 And l he will take your fields, 
and your vineyards, and your 
oliveyards, even the best of them, 
and give them to his servants. 

15 And he will take the tenth of 
your seed, and of your vineyards, 
and give to his 5 officers, and to 
his servants. 

16 And he will take your men- 
servants, and your maid -servants, 
and your goodliest young men, and 
your asses, and put them to his 
work. 

17 He will take the tenth of your 
sheep: and ye shall be his servants. 

18 And ye shall cry out in that 
day because of your king which ye 
shall have chosen you; and the 
Lord m will not hear you in that 
day. 

19 IT Nevertheless the people n re- 
fused to obey the voice of Samuel: 
and they said, Nay; but we will 
have a king over us; 

20 That we also may be like all 
the nations; and that our king 
may judge us, and go out before 
us, and fight our battles. 

21 And Samuel heard all the 
words of the people, and he re- 
hearsed them in the ears of the 
Lord. 

22 And the Lord said to Samuel, 
Hearken ° unto their voice, and 
make them a king. And Samuel 
said unto the men of Israel, Go ye 
every man unto his city. 



Saul seeks his father's asses. 



1 SAMUEL, IX. 



Samuel entertains Saul. 



CHAPTER IX. 

1 Saul, despairing to find Jiis father's 
asses, comes to Samuel. 15 God reveals 
to Samuel Saul's coming, and his ap- 
pointment to the kingdom. 

NOW there was a man of Ben- 
jamin, whose name was a Kish, 
the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, 
the son of Bechorath, the son of 
Aphiah, l a Benjamite, a mighty 
man of 2 power. 

2 And he had a son, whose name 
was Saul, a choice young man, and 
a goodly: and there was not among 
the children of Israel a goodlier 
person than he: 6 from his shoul- 
ders and upward he was higher than 
any of the people. 

3 And the asses of Kish, Saul's fa- 
ther, were lost. And Kish said to 
Saul his son, Take now one of the 
servants with thee, and arise, go 
seek the asses. 

4 And he passed through mount 
Ephraim, and passed through the 
land of ° Shalisha, but they found 
them not: then they passed through 
the land of Shalim, and there they 
were not: and he passed through 
the land of the Benjamites, but 
they found them not. 

5 And when they were come to 
the land of d Zuph, Saul said to his 
servant that was with him, Come, 
and let us return ; lest my father 
leave caring for the asses, and take 
thought for us. 

6 And he said unto him, Behold 
now, there is in this city e a man of 
God. and he is an honourable man ; 
all / that he saith Cometh surely 
to pass: now let us go thither; per- 
adventure he can show us our way 
that we should go. 

7 Then said Saul to his servant, 
But, behold, if we go, 9 what shall 
we bring the man? for the bread 
3 is spent in our vessels, and there 
is not a present to bring to the 
man of God: what 4 have we? 

3 And the servant answered Saul 
again, and said, Behold, 5 1 have 
here at hand the fourth part of 
a shekel of silver: that will I give to 
the man of God to tell us our way. 

9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a 
man h went to enquire of God, thus 
he spake, Come, and let us go to 
the seer: for he that is now called a 
Prophet was beforetime called* a 
Seer.) 

10 Then said Saul to his servant, 
6 Well said; come, let us go. So 
they went unto the city where the 
man of God was.

11 % And as they went up 7 the 
hill to the city, •?' they found young 
maidens going out to draw water, 
and said unto them, Is the seer 
here? 

12 And they answered them, and 
said, He is; behold, he is before 
you: make haste now, for he came 
to-day to the city; for there k is a 
8 sacrifice of the people to-day in 
the l high place. 

13 As soon as ye be come into the 
city, ye shall straightway find him, 
before he go up to the high place 
to eat: for the people will not eat 
until he come, because he doth 
bless the sacrifice ; and after- 
wards they eat that be bidden. 
Now therefore get you up; for 
about 9 this time ye shall find 
him. 

14 And they went up into the 
city: and when they were come 
into the city, behold, Samuel came 
out against them, for to go up to 
the high place. 

15 1f Now ™the Lord had 10 told 
Samuel in his ear a day before 
Saul came, saying, 

16 To-morrow, about this time, 
I will send thee a man out of the 
land of Benjamin, and n thou shalt 
anoint him to be captain over my 
people Israel, that he may save 
my people out of the hand of the 
Philistines: for I have "looked upon 
my people, because their cry is 
come unto me. 

17 And when Samuel saw Saul, 
the Lord said unto him, p Behold 
the man whom I spake to thee of! 
this same shall n reign over my 
people. 

18 Then Saul drew near to 
Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell 
me, I pray thee, where the seer's 
house is. 

19 And Samuel answered Saul, 
and said, I am the seer: go up be- 
fore me unto the high place; for 
ye shall eat with me to-day; and 
to-morrow I will let thee go, and 
will tell thee all that is in thine 
heart. 

20 And as for thine asses that 
were lost 12 three days ago, set not 
thy mind on them; for they are 
found. And on whom is all the 
desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, 
and on all thy father's house? 

21 And Saul answered and said, 
Am not I a Benjamite, of ? the 
smallest of the tribes of Israel? and 
my r family the least of all the 
families of the tribe of Benjamin? 



Samuel anoints Saul. 



1 SAMUEL, X. 



wherefore then speakest thou 13 so 
to me? 

22 And Samuel took Saul and 
his servant, and brought them 
into the parlour, and made them 
sit in the chiefest place among 
them that were bidden, which were 
about thirty persons. 

23 And Samuel said unto the 
cook, Bring the portion which 1 
gave thee, of which I said unto 
thee, Set it by thee. 

24 And the cook took up *the 
shoulder, and that which was upon 
it, and set it before Saul And 
Samuel said, Behold that which is 
14 left! set it before thee, and eat: 
for unto this time hath it been 
kept for thee since I said, I have 
invited the people. So Saul did 
eat with Samuel that day. 

25 % And when they were come 
down from the high place into the 
city, Samuel communed with Saul 
upon l the top of the house. 

26 And they arose early: and it 
came to pass, about the spring of 
the day, that Samuel called Saul 
to the top of the house, saying, Up, 
that I may send thee away. And 
Saul arose, and they went out both 
of them, he and Samuel, abroad. 

27 And as they were going down 
to the end of the city, Samuel said 
to Saul, Bid the servant pass on 
before us, (and he passed on,) but 
stand thou still 15 a while, that I 
may 16 show thee the word of God. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Samuel anoints Saul, and confirms Mm 
by the prediction of three signs. 9 Saul's 
heart is changed, and he prophesies. 
17 He is chosen by lot at Mizpth. 

THEN a Samuel took a vial of 
oil, and poured it upon his 
head, and kissed him, and said, 
Is it not because the Lord hath 
anointed thee to he captain over 
his b inheritance? 

2 When thou art departed from 
me to-day, then thou shalt find 
two men by Eachel's c sepulchre, 
in the border of Benjamin, d at 
Zelzah; and they -will say unto 
thee, The asses which thou wentest 
to seek are found: and, lo, thy 
father hath left 1 the care of the 
asses, and sorroweth for you, say- 
ing, What shall I do for my son?

and another carrying a bottle of 
wine: 

4 And they will 2 salute thee, 
and give thee two loaves of bread; 
which thou shalt receive of their 
hands. 

5 After that thou shalt come to 
the hill of God, g where is the gar- 
rison of the Philistines: and it shall 
come to pass, when thou art come 
thither to the city, that thou shalt 
meet a company of prophets 
coming down from A the high 
place with a psaltery, and a tabret, 
and a pipe, and a harp, before 
them; i and they shall prophesy: 

6' And -?the Spirit of the Lord 
will come upon thee, and * thou 
shalt prophesy with them, and 
shalt be turned into another man. 

7 And 3 let it be, when l these 
signs are come unto thee, 4 that 
thou do as occasion serve thee; for 
God m is with thee. 

8 And thou shalt go down before 
me n to Gilgal; and, behold, I will 
come down unto thee, to offer 
burnt offerings, and to sacrifice 
sacrifices of peace offerings: ° seven 
days shalt thou tarry, till I come 
to thee, and show thee what thou 
shalt do. 

9 *]f And it was so, that, when he 
had turned his 5 back to go from 
Samuel, God 6 gave him another 
heart: and all those signs came to 
pass that day. 

10 And when they came thither 
to the hill, behold, * a company of 
prophets met him; and the Spirit 
of God came upon him, and 2 he 
prophesied among them. 

11 And it came to pass, when all 
that knew him beforetime saw 
that, behold, he prophesied among 
the prophets, then the people said 
7 one to another, What is this that 
is come unto the son of Kish? r Is 
Saul also among the prophets? 

12 And one 8 of the same place 
answered and said, But 6 who is 
their father? Therefore it became 
a proverb, Is Saul also among the 
prophets? 

13 And when he had made an 
end of prophesying, he came to 
the high place. 

14 % And Saul's l uncle said unto 
him and to his servant, Whither 
went ye? And he said, To seek 
the asses: and when we saw that 
they were no where, we came to 
Samuel. 

15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell 



Saul is chosen king. 



1 SAMUEL, XI.

me, I pray thee, what Samuel said 
unto you. 

16 And Saul said unto his uncle, 
He told us plainly that the asses 
were found. But of the matter 
of the kingdom, whereof Samuel 
spake, he told him not. 

17 'If And Samuel called the 
people together M unto the Lord 
to "Mizpeh; 

18 And said unto the children of 
Israel, Thus w saith the Lokd God 
of Israel, I brought up Israel out 
of Egypt, and delivered you out of 
the hand of the Egyptians, and 
out of the hand of all king- 
doms, and of them that oppressed 
you: 

19 And x ye have this day rejected 
your God, who himself saved you 
out of all your adversities and 
your tribulations; and ye have 
said unto him, Nay, but set a king 
over us. Now therefore present 
yourselves before the Lord by 
your tribes, and by your thousands. 

20 And when Samuel y had 
caused all the tribes of Israel to 
come near, the tribe of Benjamin 
was taken. 

21 When he had caused the tribe 
of Benjamin to come near by their 
families, the family of Matri was 
taken, and Saul the son of Kish 
was taken: and when they sought 
him, he could not be found. 

22 Therefore they z enquired of 
the Lord further, if the man 
should yet come thither. And 
the Lord answered, Behold, he 
hath hid himself among the stuff. 

23 And they ran and fetched him 
thence: and when he stood among 
the people, he was higher than 
any of the people from his 
shoulders and upward. 

24 And Samuel said to all the 
people, See ye him whom the 
Lord hath chosen, that there is 
none like him among all the 
people? And all the people 
shouted, and said, 9 God save the 
king. 

25 Then Samuel told the people 
the a manner of the kingdom, and 
wrote it in a book, and laid it up 
before the Lord. And Samuel 
sent all the people away, every 
man to his house. 

26 And Saul also went home to 
Gibeah; and there went with him 
a band of men, whose hearts God 
had touched. 

27 But 6 the children of Belial 
said, How shall this man save us?

CHAPTER XI. 

1 Nahash offers them of Jabesh-gilead a 
reproachful condition: 4 they send to 
Saul, and are delivered. 12 Saul con- 
firmed king. 

THEN Nahash the Ammonite 
came up, and encamped 
against a Jabesh-gilead: and all 
the men of Jabesh. said unto 
Nahash, b Make a covenant with 
us, and we will serve thee. 

2 And Nahash the Ammonite 
answered them, On this condition 
will I make a covenant with you, 
that I may thrust out all your right 
eyes, and lay it for c a reproach 
upon all Israel. 

3 And the elders of Jabesh said 
unto him, x Give us seven days' 
respite, that we may send mes- 
sengers unto all the coasts of 
Israel: and then, if there he no man 
to save us, we will come out to 
thee. 

4 % Then came the messengers 
to " Gibeah of Saul, and told the 
tidings in the ears of the people: 
and 6 all the people lifted up their 
voices, and wept. 

5 And, behold, Saul came after 
the herd out of the field; and Saul 
said, What aileih the people that 
they weep? And they told him 
the tidings of the men of Jabesh. 

6 And / the Spirit of God came 
upon Saul when he heard those 
tidings, and his anger was kindled 
greatly. 

7 And he took a yoke of oxen, 
and ° hewed them in pieces, and 
sent them throughout all the coasts 
of Israel by the hands of messen- 
gers, saying, h Whosoever cometh 
not forth after Saul and after 
Samuel, so shall it be done unto 
his oxen. And » the fear of the 
Lord fell on the people, and they 
came out 2 with one consent. 

8 And when he numbered them 
in $ Bezek, the children k of Israel 
were three hundred thousand, 
and the men of Judah thirty 
thousand. 

9 And they said unto the mes- 
sengers that came, Thus shall ye 
say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, 
To-morrow, by that time the sun 
be hot, ye shall have ■ help. And 
the messengers came and showed 
it to the men of Jabesh; and they 
were glad. 

10 Therefore the men of Jabesh

said, To-morrow we will come out 
unto you, and ye shall do with us 
all that seemeth good unto you. 

11 And it was so on the morrow, 
that *Saul put the people m m 
three companies; and they came 
into the midst of the host in the 
morning watch, and slew the 
Ammonites until the heat of the 
day: and it came to pass, that they 
which remained were scattered, 
so " that two of them were not 
left together. 

12 ^ And the people said unto 
Samuel, Who is he that said, 
Shall ° Saul reign over us? p bring 
the men, that we may put them 
to death. 

13 And Saul said, 'There shall 
not a man he put to death this 
day: for to-day r the Lord hath 
wrought salvation in Israel. 

14 If Then said Samuel to the 
people, Come, and let us go s to 
Gilgal, and renew the kingdom 
there. 

15 And all the people went to 
Gilgal; and there they made Saul 
king before the Lord in Gilgal; 
and there they sacrificed sacrifices 
of peace offerings before the Lord; 
&nd there Saul and all the men of 
Israel rejoiced greatly. 

CHAPTEE XII. 

1 Samuel testifies Ms integrity: 6 he re- 
proves the people for ingratitude: 16 he 
terrifies them with thunder in harvest- 
time, 20 but comforts them in God's 
mercy, if they will fear the Lord. 

AN D Samuel said unto all Israel, 
Behold, I have hearkened 
unto °your voice in all that ye 
said unto me, and h have made a 
king over you. 

2 And now, behold, the king 
walketh c before you: and I am old 
and grey-headed; and, behold, my 
sons are with you: and I have 
walked before you from my child- 
hood unto this day. 

3 Behold, here I am: witness 
against me before the Lord, and 
before his anointed: whose a ox 
have I taken? or whose ass have I 
taken? or whom have I defrauded? 
whom have I oppressed? or of 
whose hand have I received any 
1 bribe 2 to e blind mine eyes 
therewith? and I will restore it 
you. 

4 And they said, Thou hast not 
defrauded us, nor oppressed us, 
neither hast thou taken ought of 
any man's hand.

6 If And Samuel said unto the 
people, It h is the Lord that 3 ad- 
vanced Moses and Aaron, and 
that brought your fathers up out 
of the land of Egypt. 

7 Now therefore stand still, that 
I may reason i with you before the 
Lord of all the * righteous acts of 
the Lord, which he did 5 to you 
and to your fathers. 

8 When Jacob was come into 
Egypt, and your fathers cried unto 
the Lord, then the Lord sent 
Moses and Aaron, which brought 
forth your fathers out of Egypt, 
and made them dwell in this 
place. 

9 And when they forgat the 
Lord then God, he sold them into 
the hand of Sisera, captain of the 
host of Hazor, and into the hand 
of the Philistines, and into the 
hand of the lung of Moab; and 
they fought against them. 

10 And they cried unto the Lord, 
and said, We have sinned, because 
we have forsaken the Lord, and 
have served Baalim and Ashta- 
roth: but now deliver us out of the 
hand of our enemies, and we will 
serve thee. 

11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, 
and Bedan, and Jephthah, and 
Samuel, and delivered you out of 
the hand of your enemies on every 
side, and ye dwelled safe. 

12 And when ye saw thatNahash 
the king of the children of Ammon 
came against you, ye said unto 
me, Nay; but a king shall reign 
over us: when i the Lord your God 
was your king. 

13 Now therefore behold the 
king whom ye have chosen, and 
whom ye have desired! and, be- 
hold, k the Lord hath set a king 
over you. 

14 If ye will l fear the Lord, and 
serve him, and obey his voice, and 
not rebel against the 6 command- 
ment of the Lord, then shall both 
ye and also the king that reigneth 
over you 7 continue following the 
Lord your God: 

15 But if ye will m not obey the 
voice of the Lord, but rebel 
against the commandment of the 
Lord, then shall the hand of the 
Lord be against you, as it was 
against your fathers. 



Samuel comforts the people.

16 Now therefore stand and see 
this great thing, which the Lord 
will do before your eyes. 

17 Is it not wheat harvest to- 
day? ° I will call unto the Lord, 
and he shall send thunder and 
rain; that ye may perceive and 
see that p your wickedness is great, 
which ye have done in the sight 
of the Lord, in asking you a king. 

18 So Samuel called unto the 
Lord; and the Lord sent thunder 
and rain that day: ff and all the 
people greatly feared the Lord 
and Samuel. 

19 And all the people said unto 
Samuel, r Pray for thy servants 
unto the Lord thy God, that we 
die not: for we have added unto 
all our sins this evil, to ask us a 
king. 

20 And Samuel said unto the 
people, Fear not: (ye have done 
all this wickedness: yet turn not 
aside from following the Lord, but 
serve the Lord with all your heart; 

21 And turn ye not aside: s for 
then should ye go after vain things, 
which cannot profit nor deliver; 
for they are vain:) 

22 For the Lord will not forsake 
his people { for his great name's 
sake: because u it hath pleased the 
Lord to make you his people. 

23 Moreover as for me, " God for- 
bid that I should sin against the 
Lord 8 in ceasing to pray for you: 
but I will teach you the good w and 
the right way: 

24 Only fear the Lord, and serve 
him in truth with all your x heart: 
for consider 9 how great things he 
hath done for you. 

25 But if ye shall still do wicked- 
ly, y je shall be consumed, *both 
ye and your king.

rison of the Philistines that was in 

2 Geba; and the Philistines heard 
of it. And Saul blew the trumpet 
throughout all the land, saying, 
Let the Hebrews hear. 

4 And all Israel heard say that 
Saul had smitten a garrison of the 
Philistines, and that Israel also 

3 was had in abomination with 
the Philistines. And the people 
were called together after Saul to 
Gilgal. 

5 And the Philistines gathered 
themselves together to fight with 
Israel, thirty thousand chariots, 
and six thousand horsemen, and 
people as the sand which is on the 
sea-shore in multitude: and they 
came up, and pitched in Mich- 
mash, eastward h from Beth-aven. 

6 When the men of Israel saw 
that they were in a strait, (for the 
people were distressed,) then the 
people c did hide themselves in 
caves, and in thickets, and in 
rocks, and in high places, and in 
pits. 

7 And some of the Hebrews went 
over Jordan to the land of Gad 
and Gilead. As for Saul, he was 
yet in Gilgal, and all the people 

4 followed him trembling. 

8 And d he tarried seven days, 
according to the set time that 
Samuel had appointed: but Samuel 
came not to Gilgal; and the people 
were scattered from him. 

9 And Saul said, Bring hither a 
burnt offering to me, and peace 
offerings. And he "offered the 
burnt offering. 

10 And it came to pass, that, as 
soon as he had made an end of 
offering the burnt offering, behold, 
Samuel came; and Saul went out 
to meet him, that he might 6 salute 
him. 

11 And Samuel said, What hast 
thou done? And Saul said, Be- 
cause I saw that the people were 
scattered from me, and that thou 
earnest not within the days ap- 
pointed, and that the Philistines 
gathered themselves together at 
Michmash; 

12 Therefore said 1, The Philis- 
tines will come down now upon me 
to Gilgal, and I have not 6 made 
supplication unto the Lord: I 
forced myself therefore, and offer- 
ed a burnt offering. 

13 And Samuel said to Saul, 
Thou /hast done foolishly: 9 thou 
hast not kept the commandment 
of the Lord thy God,, which he

commanded thee: for now would 
the Lord have established thy 
kingdom upon Israel for ever. 

14 But A now thy kingdom shall 
not continue: 'the Lord hath 
sought him a man after his own 
heart, and the Lord hath com- 
manded him to be captain over his 
people, because thou hast not kept 
that which the Lord commanded 
thee. 

15 And Samuel arose, and gat 
him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah 
of Benjamin: and Saul numbered 
the people that were 7 present with 
him, i about six hundred men. 

16 And Saul, and Jonathan his 
son, and the people that were pres- 
ent with them, abode in 8 Gibeah 
of Benjamin : but the Philistines 
encamped in Michmash. 

17 \ And the spoilers came out 
of the camp of the Philistines in 
three companies: one company 
turned unto the way that leadeth* to 
Ophrah, unto the land of Shual: 

18 And another company turned 
the way to J Beth-horon: and an- 
other company turned to the way 
of the border that looketh to the 
valley of 9 Zeboim toward the 
wilderness. 

19 % Now m there was no smith 
found throughout all the land of 
Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest 
the Hebrews make them swords or 
spears: 

20 But all the Israelites went 
down to the Philistines, to sharpen 
every man his share, and his 
coulter, and his ax, and his 
mattock. 

21 Yet they had 10 a file for the 
mattocks, and for the coulters, and 
for the forks, and for the axes, and 
11 to sharpen the goads. 

22 So it came to pass, in the day 
of battle, that n there was neither 
sword nor spear found in the hand 
of any of the people that were with 
Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul 
and with Jonathan his son was

that is on the other side. But he 
told not his father. 

2 And Saul tarried in the utter- 
most part of Gibeah under a pome- 
granate tree which is in Migron: 
and the people that were with him 
were a about six hundred men; 

3 And b Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, 
I-chabod's c brother, the son of 
Phinehas, the son of Eli, d the 
Lord's priest in Shiloh, wearing 
an ephod. And the people knew 
not that Jonathan was gone. 

4 % And between the passages, by 
which Jonathan sought to go over 
unto e the Philistines' garrison, there 
was a sharp rock on the one side, 
and a sharp rock on the other side: 
and the name of the one was Bozez, 
and the name of the other Seneh. 

5 The 2 fore front of the one was 
situate northward over against 
Michmash, and the other south- 
ward over against Gibeah. 

6 And Jonathan said to the 
young man that bare his armour, 
Come, and let us go over unto the 
garrison of these / uncircumcised: 
it may be that the Lord will work 
for us: for there is no restraint to 
the Lord to 9 save by many or by 
few. 

7 And his armour-bearer said 
unto him, Do all that is in thine 
heart: turn thee; behold, I am with 
thee according to thy heart. 

8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, 
we will pass over unto these men, 
and we will discover ourselves 
unto them. 

9 Bf they say thus unto us, 3 Tarry 
until we come to you; then we 
will stand still in our place, and 
will not go up unto them. 

10 But if they say thus, Come up 
unto us; then we will go up: for 
the Lord hath delivered them into 
our hand: and h this shall be a sign 
unto us. 

11 And both of them discovered 
themselves unto the garrison of 
the Philistines: and the Philistines 
said, Behold, the Hebrews come 
forth out of the holes where they 
had hid themselves. 

12 And the men of the garrison an- 
swered Jonathan and his armour- 
bearer, and said, Come up to us, 
and we will show you a thing. 
And Jonathan said unto his ar- 
mour-bearer, Come up after me; 
for the Lord hath delivered them 
into the hand of Israel. 

13 And Jonathan climbed up 
upon his hands and upon his feet. 



The Philistines discomfited. 



1 SAMUEL, XIV. 



Saul builds an altar. 



and his armour-bearer after him: 
and they fell before Jonathan; and 
his armour-bearer slew after him. 

14 And that first slaughter, which 
Jonathan and his armour-bearer 
made, was about twenty men, 
within as it were 4 an half acre of 
land, which a yoke of oxen might 
ploio. 

15 f And * there was trembling 
in the host, in the field, and 
among all the people: the garrison, 
and i the spoilers, they also trem- 
bled, and the earth quaked: so it 
was 5 a very great trembling. 

16 And the watchmen of Saul in 
Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, 
behold, the multitude melted 
away, and they went on beating 
down one another. 

17 1f Then said Saul unto the 
people that were with him, Number 
now, and see who is gone from us. 
And when they had numbered, 
behold, Jonathan and his armour- 
bearer were not there. 

18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, 
Bring hither the ark of God: (for 
the ark of God was at that time 
with the children of Israel.) 

19 % And it came to pass, while 
Saul talked k unto the priest, that 
the 6 noise that was in the host 
of the Philistines went on and 
increased: and 'Saul said unto the 
priest, Withdraw thine hand. 

20 And Saul and all the people 
that were with him 7 assembled 
themselves, aud they came to the 
battle : and, behold, m every man's 
sword was against his fellow, and 
tliere was a very great discomfiture. 

21 Moreover the Hebrews that 
were with the Philistines before 
that time, which went up with 
them into the camp from the country 
round about, even they also turned 
to be with the Israelites that were 
with Saul and Jonathan. 

22 Likewise all the men of Israel 
which had n hid ' themselves in 
mount Ephraim, when they heard 
that the Philistines fled, even they 
also followed hard after them in 
the battle. 

23 So ° the Lord saved Israel 
that day: and the battle passed 
over p unto Beth-aven. 

24 % And the men of Israel were 
distressed that day: for Saul had 
adjured q the people, saying, Curs- 
ed be the man that eateth any 
food until evening, that I may be 
avenged on mine enemies. So 
none of the people tasted any food.

25 And r all they of 'the land came 
to a wood ; and there was 8 honey 
upon the ground. 

26 And when the people were 
come into the wood, behold, the 
honey dropped; but no man put 
his hand to his mouth: for the 
people feared the oath. 

27 But Jonathan heard not when 
his father charged the people with 
the oath: wherefore he put forth 
the end of the rod that was in his 
hand, and dipped it in 8 an honey- 
comb, and put his hand to his 
mouth; and his eyes were en- 
lightened. 

28 Then answered one of the peo- 
ple, and said, Thy father 9 straitly 
charged the people with an oath, 
saying, Cursed be the man that 
eateth any food this day. And 
the people were 10 faint. 

29 Then said Jonathan, My fa- 
ther hath troubled the land: see, 

I pray you, how mine eyes have 
been enlightened, because I tasted 
a little of this honey; 

30 How much more, if haply the 
people had eaten freely to-day of 
the spoil of their enemies which 
they found ? for had there not 
been now a much greater slaugh- 
ter among the Philistines ? 

31 And they smote the Philis- 
tines that day from Michmash to 
Aijalon: and the people were very 
faint. 

32 And the people flew upon the 
spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, 
and calves, and slew them on the 
ground : and the people did eat 
them f with the blood. 

33 Then they told Saul, saying, 
Behold, the people sin against the 
Lord, in that they eat with the 
blood. And he said, Ye have 

II transgressed: roll a great stone 
unto me this day. 

34 And Saul said, Disperse your- 
selves among the people, and say 
unto them, Bring me hither every 
man his ox, and eveiy man his 
sheep, and slay tJiem here, and eat; 
and sin not against the Lord in 
eating with the blood. And all 
the people brought every man his 
ox 12 with him that night, and slew 
them there. 

35 And Saul M built an altar unto 
the Lord: 13 the same was the 
first altar that he built unto the 
Lord. 

36 ^[ And Saul said, Let us go 
down after the Philistines by night, 
and spoil them until the morning

light, and let us not leave a man 
of them. And they said, Do what- 
soever seemeth good unto thee. 
Then said the priest, v Let us draw 
near hither unto God. 

37 And Saul asked counsel of 
God, Shall I go down after the 
Philistines? wilt thou deliver them 
into the hand of Israel ? But he 
answered w him not that day. 

38 And Saul said, "'Draw ye near 
hither all the w chief of the people; 
and know and see wherein this 
sin hath been this day: 

39 For, v as the Lord liveth, 
which saveth Israel, though it he 
in Jonathan my son, he shall 
surely die. But there was not a 
man among all the people that 
answered him. 

40 Then said he unto all Israel, 
Be ye on one side, and I and 
Jonathan my son will he on the 
other side. And the people said 
unto Saul, Do what seemeth good 
unto thee. 

41 Therefore Saul said unto the 
Lord God of Israel, 15 Give a per- 
fect lot. z And Saul and Jonathan 
were taken: but the people 
16 escaped. 

42 And Saul said, Cast lots be- 
tween me and Jonathan my son. 
And Jonathan was taken. 

43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, 
Tell a me what thou hast done. 
And Jonathan told him, and said, 
I did but taste a little honey with 
the end of the rod that was in mine 
hand, and, lo, I must die. 

44 And Saul answered, b God do 
so and more also: for thou shalt 
surely die, Jonathan. 

45 And the people said unto Saul, 
Shall Jonathan die, who hath 
wrought this great salvation in 
Israel? God forbid: c as the Lord 
liveth, there shall not one hair of 
his head fall to the ground; for 
he d hath wrought with God this 
day. So the people rescued Jona- 
than, that he died not. 

46 Then Saul went up from fol- 
lowing the . Philistines: and the 
Philistines went to their own 
place. 

47 % So Saul took the kingdom 
oyer Israel, and fought against all 
his enemies on every side, against 
Moab, and against the children e of 
Ammon, and against Edom, and 
against the kings of / Zobah, and 
against thePhilistines; and whither- 
soever he turned himself, he 9 vexed 
them.

daughters were these; the name of

51 And i Kish was the father of

was the son of Abiel.

took hi™ unto him.. 

CHAPTEK XV. 

1 Saul sent to destroy AmaUTc: 8 he spares 
Agaff, and the best of the spoil. 10 God 
rejects him. for disobedience. 

SAMUEL also said unto Saul, 
The a Lord sent me to anoint 
thee to be king over his people, 
over Israel: now therefore hearken 
thou unto the voice of the words 
of the Lord. 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 1 
remember that which Amalek did 
to Israel, 6 how he laid wait for 
him in the way, when he came up 
from Egypt. 

3 Now go and smite Amalek, 
and c utterly destroy all that they 
have, and spare them not; but 
slay both man and woman, d in- 
fant and suckling, e ox and sheep, 
camel and ass. 

4 And Saul gathered the people 
together, and numbered them /in 
Telairn, two hundred thousand 
footmen, and ten thousand men 
of Judah. 

5 And Saul came to a city of 
Amalek, and 1 laid wait in the 
valley. 

6 % And Saul said unto s the 
Kenites, h Go, depart, get you 
down from among the Amalekites, 
lest I destroy you with them: * for 
ye showed kindness to all the 
children of Israel when they came 
up out of Egypt. So the Kenites 
departed from among the 
Amalelutes. 

7 And J Saul smote the Amalek- 
ites from Havilah & until thou 
comest to l Shur, that is over 
against Egypt. 



Said spares Agag. 



1 SAMUEL, XV. He is rejected for disobedience. 



8 And m he took Agag the king 
of the Amalekites alive, ? and 
utterly destroyed all the people 
with the edge of the sword. 

9 But Saul and the people spared 
Agag, and ° the best of the sheep, 
and of the oxen, and 2 of the fat- 
lings, and the lambs, and all that 
was good, and would not utterly 
destroy them: but every thing 
that was vile and refuse, that they 
destroyed utterly. 

10 If Then came the word of the 
Lord unto Samuel, saying, 

11 It p repenteth me that I have 
set up Saul to be king: for he q is 
turned back from following me, 
and r hath not performed my 
commandments. And it * grieved 
Samuel; and he cried unto the 
Lord all night. 

12 And when Samuel rose early 
to meet Saul in the morning, it 
was told Samuel, saying, Saul 
came to t Carmel, and, behold, he 
set him up a place, and is gone 
about, and passed on, and gone 
down to Gilgal. 

13 And Samuel came to Saul: 
and Saul said unto him, M Blessed 
be thou of the Lord; v I have per- 
formed the commandment of the 
Lord. 

14 And Samuel said, What mean- 
eth then this bleating of the sheep 
in mine ears, and the lowing of 
the oxen which I hear? 

15 And Saul said, They have 
brought them from the Amalek- 
ites: w for the people spared the 
best of the sheep and of the oxen, 
to sacrifice unto the Lord thy 
God; and the rest we have utterly 
destroyed. 

16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, 
Stay, and I will tell thee what the 
Lord hath said to me this night. 
And he said unto him, Say on. 

17 And Samuel said, When thou 
wast little in thine own sight, wast 
thou not made the head of the 
tribes of Israel, and the Lord 
anointed thee king over Israel? 

18 And the Lord sent thee on a 
journey, and said, Go and utterly 
destroy the sinners the Amalek- 
ites, and fight against them until 
3 they be consumed. 

19 Wherefore then didst thou not 
obey the voice of the Lord, but 
didst fly upon the spoil, and didst 
evil in the sight of the Lord? 

20 And Saul said unto Samuel, 
Yea, I have obeyed the voice of 
the Lord, and have gone the

way which the Lord sent me, and 
have brought Agag the king of 
Amalek, and have utterly de- 
stroyed the Amalekites. 

21 But the people took of the 
spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of 
the things which should have been 
utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto 
the Lord thy God in Gilgal. 

22 And Samuel said, s Hath the 
Lord as great delight in burnt 
offerings and sacrifices, as in obey- 
ing the voice of the Lord? Be- 
hold, y to obey is better than 
sacrifice, and to hearken than the 
fat of rams. 

23 For rebellion is as the sin of 
4 witchcraft, and stubbornness is as 
iniquity and idolatry. Because 
thou hast rejected the word of the 
Lord, he hath also rejected thee 
from being king. 

24 And * Saul said unto Samuel, 
I a have sinned: for I have trans- 
gressed the commandment of the 
Lord, and thy words: because 6 I 
feared the people, and obeyed 
their voice. 

25 Now therefore, I pray thee, 
pardon my sin, and turn again 
with me, that I may worship the 
Lord. 

26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I 
will not return with thee: c for 
thou hast rejected the word of the 
Lord, and the Lord hath re- 
jected thee from being king over 
Israel. 

27 And as Samuel turned about 
to go away, d he laid hold upon 
the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 

28 And Samuel said unto him, 
The e Lord hath rent the kingdom 
of Israel from thee this day, and 
hath given it to a neighbour of 
thine, that is better than thou. 

29 And also the 6 Strength of 
Israel / will not he nor repent: for 
he is not a man, that he should 
repent. 

30 Then he said, I have sinned: 
yet s honour me now, I pray thee, 
before the elders of my people, and 
before Israel, and turn again with 
me, tbat I may worship the Lord 
thy God. 

31 So Samuel turned again after 
Saul; and Saul worshipped the 
Lord. 

32 1f Then said Samuel, Bring ye 
hither to me Agag the king of the 
Amalekites. And Agag came 
unto him delicately. And Agag 
said, Surely the bitterness of death 
is past. 



The Lord sendeth Samuel

to anoint David, 



33 And Samuel said, h As thy 
sword hath made women child- 
less, so shall thy mother be child- 
less among women. And * Samuel 
hewed Agag in pieces before the 
Lord in GilgaL 

34 f Then Samuel went to 
Raman; and Saul went up to his 
house to 3 Gibeah of Saul. 

35 And Samuel came no more to 
see Saul until the day of his death: 
nevertheless Samuel mourned for 
Saul: and the Lord repented that 
he had made Saul king over Israel. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

1 Samuel sent by God to Beth-lehem. 11 
He anoints David, 15 Saul sends for 
David to quiet his evil spirit. 

AN D the Lord said unto 
Samuel, How long wilt thou 
mourn for Saul, seeing I have re- 
jected him from reigning over 
Israel? "Fill thine horn with oil, 
and go, I will send thee to Jesse 
the Beth-lehemite: for I 6 have 
provided me a king among his 
eons. 

2 And Samuel said, How can I 
go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. 
And the Lord said, Take an heifer 
1 with thee, and say, c I am come 
to sacrifice to the Lord.

4 And Samuel did that which 
the Lord spake, and came to 
Beth-lehem. And the elders of 
the town * trembled at his 
3 coming, and said, 9 Comest thou 
peaceably? 

5 And he said, Peaceably: I am 
come to sacrifice unto the Lord: 
sanctify h yourselves, and come 
with me to the sacrifice. And he 
sanctified Jesse and his sons, and 
called them to the sacrifice. 

6 And it came to pass, when they 
were come, that he looked * on 
Eliab, and ■> said, Surely the Lord's 
anointed is before him. 

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, 
Look not on * his countenance, or 
on the height of his stature; be- 
cause I have refused him: for * the 
LORD seeth not as man seeth; for 
man m looketh on the 4 outward 
appearance, but the Lord looketh 
on n the heart. 

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, 
and made him pass before Samuel 
And he said, Neither hath the 
Lord chosen this.

9 Then Jesse made Shammah to 
pass by. And he said. Neither 
hath the Lord chosen this. 

10 Again, Jesse made seven of his 
sons to pass before Samuel. And 
Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lorp 
hath not chosen these. 

11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, 
Are here all thy children? And he 
said, ° There remaineth yet the 
youngest, and, behold, he keepeth 
the sheep. And Samuel said unto 
Jesse/ Send and fetch him: for we 
will not sit 5 down till he come 
hither. 

12 And he sent and brought him 
in. Now he was q ruddy, and withal 
6 of a beautiful countenance, and 
goodly to look to. r And the Lord 
said, Arise, anoint him: for this is 
he. 

13 Then Samuel took the horn 
of oil, and anointed s him in the 
midst of his brethren: and 'the 
Spirit of the Lord came upon 
David from that day forward. So 
Samuel rose up, and went to 
Ram ah. 

14 % But M the Spirit of the Lord 
departed from Saul, and " an evil 
spirit from the Lord 7 troubled 
him. 

15 And Saul's servants said unto 
him, Behold now, an evil spirit 
from God troubleth thee. 

16 Let our lord now command 
thy servants, which are before thee, 
to seek out a man, who is a cun- 
ning player on an harp: and it 
shall come to pass, when the evil 
spirit from God is upon thee, that 
he shall play with his hand, and 
thou shalt be well. 

17 And Saul said unto his ser- 
vants, Provide me now a man 
that can play well, and bring him 
tome. 

18 Then answered one of the ser- 
vants, and said, Behold, I have 
seen a son of Jesse the Beth- 
lehemite, that is cunning in play- 
ing, and a mighty valiant man, 
and a man of war, and prudent in 
8 matters, and a comely person, 
and the Lord is with him. 

19 1f Wherefore Saul sent mes- 
sengers unto Jesse, and said, Send 
me David thy son, which is with 
the sheep. 

20 And Jesse took an ass laden 
with bread, and a bottle of wine, 
and a kid, and sent them by David 
his son unto Saul. 

21 And David came to Saul, and 
stood w before him: and he loved

him greatly; and he became his 
armour-bearer. 

22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, 
Let David, I pray thee, stand be- 
fore me; for he hath found favour 
in my sight. 

23 And it came to pass, when the 
evil spirit from God was upon Saul, 
that David took an harp, and 
played with his hand: so Saul was 
refreshed, and was well, and the 
evil spirit departed from him. 

CHAPTER XVn. 

1 The Israelites and Philistines, being 
ready to battle, 4 Goliath challenges a 
combat: 12 David accepts the challenge, 
and slays him. 55 /Saul takes notice of 
David. 

NO W the Philistines gathered 
together their armies to battle, 
and were gathered together a at 
Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, 
and pitched between Shochoh and 
Azekah, in x Ephes-dammim. 

2 And Saul and the men of Israel 
were gathered together,and pitched 
by the valley of Elah, and 2 set the 
battle in array against the Philis- 
tines. 

3 And the Philistines stood on a 
mountain on the one side, and Is- 
rael stood on a mountain on the 
other side: and there was a valley 
between them. 

4 And there went out 3 a cham- 
pion out of the camp of the Philis- 
tines, named b Goliatb, of c Gath, 
whose height was 4 six cubits and 
a span. 

5 And he had an helmet of brass 
upon his head, and he was 6 armed 
with a coat of mail ; and the weight 
of the coat was five thousand 
shekels of brass. 

6 And he had greaves of brass upon 
his legs, and a 6 target of brass be- 
tween his shoulders. 

7 And d the staff of his spear was 
like a weaver's beam; and his 
spear's head weighed six hundred 
shekels of iron: and one bearing 
a shield went before him. 

8 And he stood and cried unto 
the armies of Israel, and said unto 
them, Why are ye come out to set 
your battle in array? am not I a 
Philistine, and ye e servants to 
Saul? choose you a man for you, 
and let him come down to me. 

9 If he be able to fight with me, 
and to kill me, then will we be 
your servants : but if I prevail 
against him, and kill him, then 
shall ye be our servants, and/ serve 
us.

10 And the Philistine said, I s defy 
the armies of Israel this day ; give 
me a man, that we may fight to- 
gether. 

11 When Saul and all Israel heard 
those words of the Philistine, they 
were dismayed, and greatly afraid. 

12 % Now David was h the son 
of * that Ephrathiteof Beth-lehem- 
judah, whose name was Jesse; and 
he had * eight sons: and the man 
went among men for an old man 
in the days of Saul. 

13 And the three eldest sons of 
Jesse went and followed Saul to 
the battle: and k the names of his 
three sons that went to the battle 
were Eliab the first-born ; and next 
unto him, Abinadab; and the 
third, Shammah. 

14 And David was the youngest : 
and the three eldest followed Saul. 

15 But David went and returned 
from Saul to feed his father's sheep 
at Beth-lehem. 

16 And the Philistine drew near 
morning and evening, and pre- 
sented himself forty days. 

17 And Jesse said unto David his 
son, Take now for thy brethren an 
ephah of this parched corn, and 
these ten loaves, and run to the 
camp to thy brethren; 

18 And cany these ten 7 cheeses 
unto the 8 captain of their thousand, 
and l look how thy brethren fare, 
and take their pledge. 

19 Now Saul, and they, and all 
the men of Israel, were in the 
valley of Elah, fighting with the 
Philistines. 

20 And David rose up early in the 
morning, and left the sheep with 
a keeper, and took, and went, as 
Jesse had commanded him ; and 
he came to the 9 trench, as the host 
was going forth to the 10 fight, and 
shouted for the battle. 

21 For Israel and the Philistines 
had put the battle in array, army 
against army. 

22 And David left u his carnage 
in the hand of the keeper of the 
carriage, and ran into the army, and 
came and 12 saluted his brethren. 

23 And as he talked with them, 
behold, there came up the cham- 
pion (the Philistine of Gath, Go- 
Math by name) out of the armies 
of the Philistines, and spake ac- 
cording to the same words: and 
David heard them. 

24 And all the men of Israel, when 
they saw the man, fled 13 from him, 
and were sore afraid. 



David accepts 



1 SAMUEL, XVII. 



Goliath's challenge. 



25 And the men of Israel said, 
Have ye seen this man that is come 
tip? surely to defy Israel is he come 
rip: and it shall he, that the man 
who killeth him, the king will 
enrich him with great riches, 
and * will give him his daughter, 
and make his father's house free in 
Israel 

26 And David spake to the men 
that stood by him, saying, What 
shall be done to the man that 
killeth this Philistine, and taketh 
away n the reproach from Israel? 
for who is this ° uncircumcised 
Philistine, that he should defy the 
armies of p the living God? 

27 And the people answered him 
after this manner, saying, So shall 
it be done to the man that killeth 
him. 

28 And Eliab his eldest brother 
heard when he spake unto the 
men: and 2 Eliab's anger was kin- 
dled against David, and he said, 
Why earnest thou down hither? 
and with whom hast thou left 
those few sheep in the wilderness? 
I know thy pride, and the naugh- 
tiness of thine heart; for thou art 
come down that thou mightest see 
the battle. 

29 And David said, What have 1 
now done? Is r there not a cause? 

30 And he turned from him to- 
ward another, and spake after the 
same u manner: and the people 
answered him again after the for- 
mer manner. 

31 And when the words were 
heard which David spake, they 
rehearsed them before Saul ; and 
he 15 sent for him. 

32 If And David said to Saul, 8 Let 
no man's heart fail because of 
him ; * thy servant will go and 
fight with this Philistine. 

33 And Saul said to David,'* Thou 
art not able to go against this Phil- 
istine to fight with him: for thou 
art but a youth, and he a man of 
war from his youth. 

34 And David said unto Saul, Thy 
servant kept his father's sheep, and 
there came a Hon and a bear, and 
took a 16 lamb out of the flock; 

35 And I went out after him, and 
smote him, and delivered it out of 
his mouth : and when he ar< 
against me, I caHght him by his 
beard, and smote him, and slew 
him. 

36 Thy servant slew both the lion 
and the bear; and this uncircum- 
cised Philistine shall be as one of

them, seeing he hath defied the 
armies of the living God. 

37 David said moreover, " The 
Lord that delivered me out of the 
paw of the lion, and out of the 
paw of the bear, he will deliver me 
out of the hand of this Philistine. 
And Saul said unto David, Go, 
and w the Lord be with thee. 

38 % And Saul " armed David 
with his armour, and he put an hel- 
met of brass upon his head ; also 
he armed him with a coat of mail. 

39 And David girded his sword 
upon his armour, and he assayed 
to go; for he had not proved it. 
And David said unto Saul, I cannot 
go with these ; for I have not 
proved them. And David put them 
off him. 

40 And he took his staff in his 
hand, and chose him five smooth 
stones out of the 18 brook, and put 
them in a shepherd's 19 bag which 
he had, even in a scrip; and his 
sling was in his hand: and he drew 
near to the Philistine. 

41 And the Philistine came on 
and drew near unto David ; and 
the man that bare the shield went 
before him. 

42 And when the Philistine looked 
about, and saw David, he x dis- 
dained him; for he was but a 
youth, and y ruddy, and of a fair 
countenance. 

43 And the Philistine said unto 
David, Am z I a dog, that thou 
comest to me with staves? And 
the Philistine cursed David by his 
gods. 

44 And the Philistine a said to 
David, Come to me, and I will give 
thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, 
and to the beasts of the field. 

45 Then said David to the Philis- 
tine, Thou comest to me with a 
sword, and with a spear, and with 
a shield; 6 but I come to thee in 
the name of the Lord of hosts, 
the God of the armies of Israel, 
whom thou hast defied. 

46 This day will the Lord 20 deli- 
ver thee into mine hand ; and I 
will smite thee, and take thine 
head from thee; and I will give 
the c carcases of the host of the 
Philistines this day unto the fowls 
of the air, and to the wild beasts 
of the earth; d that all the earth 
may know that there is a God in 
Israel. 

47 And all this assembly shall 
know that the Lord 6 saveth not 
with sword and spear: for / the

battle is the Lord's, and he will 
give you into our hands. 

48 And it came to pass, when the 
Philistine arose, and came and 
drew nigh to meet David, that 
David hasted, and ran toward the 
army to meet the Philistine. 

49 And David put his hand in 
his hag, and took thence a stone, 
and slang it, and smote the Philis- 
tine in his forehead, that the stone 
21 sunk into his forehead; and he 
fell upon his face to the earth. 

50 So 9 David prevailed over the 
Philistine with a sling and with a 
stone, and smote the Philistine, 
and slew him; but there was no 
sword in the hand of David. 

51 Therefore David ran, and 
stood upon the Philistine, and 
took his sword, and drew it out of 
the sheath thereof, and slew him, 
and cut off his head therewith. 
And when the Philistines saw their 
champion was dead, h they fled. 

52 And the men of Israel and of 
Judah arose, and shouted, and 
pursued the Philistines, until thou 
come to the valley, and to the 
gates of Ekron: and the wounded 
of the Philistines fell down by the 
way * to Shaaraim, even unto 
Gath, and unto Ekron. 

53 And the children of Israel 
returned from chasing after the 
Philistines, and they spoiled their 
tents. 

54 And David took the head of 
the Philistine, and brought it to 
Jerusalem: but he put his armour 
in his tent. 

55 % And when Saul saw David 
go forth against the Philistine, he 
said unto Abner, the captain of 
the host, Abner, 1 whose son is this 
youth? And Abner said, As thy 
soul liveth, king, I cannot tell. 

56 And the king said, Enquire 
thou whose son the stripling is. 

57 And as David returned from 
the slaughter of the Philistine, 
Abner took him, and brought him 
before Saul, with the head of the 
Philistine in his hand. 

58 And Saul said to him, "Whose 
son art thou, thou young man? 
And David answered, / am the son 
of thy servant * Jesse the Beth- 
lehemite.

unto Saul, that the ° soul of Jona- 
than was knit with the soul of 
David, h and Jonathan loved him 
as his own soul. 

2 And Saul took him that day, 
and c would let him go no more 
home to his father's house. 

3 Then Jonathan and David 
made a covenant, because he 
loved him as his own soul. 

4 And Jonathan stripped himself 
of the robe that was upon him, 
and gave it to David, and his 
garments, even to his sword, and 
to his bow, and to his girdle. 

5 H And David went out whither- 
soever Saul sent him, and 1 be- 
haved himself wisely: and Saul 
set him over the men of war; and 
he was accepted in the sight of all 
the people, and also in the sight 
of Saul's servants. 

6 *[[ And it came to pass as they 
came, when David was returned 
from the slaughter of the 2 Philis- 
tine, that d the women came out 
of all cities of Israel, singing and 
dancing, to meet king Saul, with 
tabrets, with joy, and with 3 in- 
struments of music. 

7 And the women 6 answered one 
another as they played, and said, 
Saul hath slain his thousands, and 
David his ten thousands. 

8 And Saul was very wroth, and 
the saying 4 displeased him; and 
he said, They have ascribed unto 
David ten thousands, and to me 
they have ascribed but thousands: 
and what can he have more but 
the kingdom? 

9 And Saul /eyed David from 
that day and forward. 

10 ^ And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that 9 the evil spirit from 
God came upon Saul, A and he 
prophesied in the midst of the 
house: and David played with his 
hand, as at other times: and there 
was a javelin in Saul's hand. 

11 And Saul i cast the javelin; 
for he said, 1 will smite David 
even to the wall with it. And 
David avoided out of his presence 
twice. 

12 ff And Saul was afraid of 
David, because •?' the Lord was 
with him, and was departed k from

13 Therefore Saul removed him 
from him, and made him his

people.

wisely in all his ways; and 
Lord was with him. 

15 Wherefore, when Saul saw 
that he behaved himself very 
wisely, he was afraid of him. 

16 But all Israel and Judah loved 
David, because he went out and 
came in before them. 

17 f And Saul said to David, 
Behold my elder daughter Merab, 
her n will I give thee to wife; only 
be thou 6 valiant for me, and fight 
the ° Lord's battles. For Saul 
said, v Let not mine hand be upon 
him, but let the hand of the 
Philistines be upon Mm. 

18 And David said unto Saul, 
Who q am It and what is my life, 
or my father's family in Israel, 
that I should be son-in-law to the 
king? 

19 But it came to pass at the 
time when Merab, Saul's daughter, 
should have been given to David, 
that she was given r unto Adriel 
the s Meholathite to wife. 

20 And Michal, Saul's daughter, 
loved David: and they told Saul, 
and the thing 7 pleased him. 

21 And Saul said, I will give him 
her, that she may be t a snare to 
him, and that the hand of the 
Philistines may be against him. 
Wherefore Saul said to David, 
Thou shalt this day be my son-in- 
law in the one of the twain. 

22 And Saul commanded his 
servants, saying, Commune with 
David secretly, and say, Behold, 
the king hath delight in thee, and 
all his servants love thee: now 
therefore be the king's son-in- 
law. 

23 And Saul's servants spake 
those words in the ears of David. 
And David said, Seemeth it to you 
a light thing to be a king's son-in- 
law, seeing that I am a poor man, 
and lightly esteemed? 

24 And the servants of Saul told 
him, saying, s On this manner 
spake David. 

25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye 
say to David, The king desireth 
not any u dowry, but an hundred 
foreskins of the Philistines, " to be 
avenged of the king's enemies. 
But Saul thought to make David 
fall by the hand of the Philistines. 

26 And when his servants told 
David these words, it 9 pleased 
David well to be the king's son- 
in-law: and the days were not

went, he and his men, and slew of 
the Philistines two hundred men; 
and w David brought their fore- 
skins, and they gave them in full 
tale to the king, that he might be 
the king's son-in-law. And Saul 
gave him Michal his daughter to 
wife. 

28 And Saul saw and knew that 
the Lord was with David, and that 
Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him. 

29 And x Saul was yet the more 
afraid of David; and Saul became 
David's enemy continually. 

30 Then the princes of the Philis- 
tines y went forth: and it came to 
pass, after they went forth, that 
David behaved himself * more 
wisely than all the servants of 
Saul; so that his name was much 
11 set by. 

CHAPTER XIX. 

1 Jonathan discloses his father's purpose 
to kill David: 4 he persuades Ms father 
to a reconciliation. 8 Saul's malicious 
rage breaks out against David. 18 
David flees to Samuel. 22 Saul pro* 
phesies. 

AN D Saul a spake to Jonathan 
his son, and to all his servants, 
that they should kill David. 

2 But Jonathan, Saul's son, de- 
lighted much in David: and Jona- 
than told David, b saying, Saul my 
father seeketh to kill thee: now 
therefore, I pray thee, take heed 
to thyself until the morning, and 
abide in a secret place, and hide 
thyself: 

3 And I will go out and stand 
beside my father in the field where 
thou art, and I will commune 
with my father of thee; and what 
I see, that I will tell thee. 

4 And Jonathan c spake good of 
David unto Saul his father, and 
said unto him, Let not the king 
sin d against his servant, against 
David; because he hath not sinned 
against thee, and because his 
works have been to thee-ward very 
good: 

5 For he did put his * life in his 
hand, and slew /the Philistine, 
and 9 the Lord wrought a great 
salvation for all Israel: thou sawest 
it, and didst rejoice: h wherefore 
then wilt thou * sin against inno- 
cent blood, to slay David without 
a cause? 

6 And Saul hearkened unto the 
voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, 
As the Lord liveth, he shall not 
be slain. 

7 And Jonathan called David, 
and Jonathan showed him all

from Saul 



those things. And Jonathan 
brought David to Saul, and he 
was in his presence, as 1 in times 
past. 

8 % And there was war again: 
and David went out and fought 
with the Philistines, and slew 
them with a great slaughter; and 
they fled from 2 him. 

9 And S the evil spirit from the 
Lord was upon Saul, as he sat in 
his house with his javelin in Ins 
hand: and David played with Ms 
hand. 

10 And Saul * sought to smite 
David even to the wall with the 
javelin; but he slipped away out 
of Saul's presence, and he smote 
the javelin into the wall: and 
David fled, and escaped that night. 

11 Saul l also sent messengers 
unto David's house, to watch him, 
and to slay him in the morning: 
and Michal, David's wife, told 
him, saying, If thou save not thy 
life to-night, to-raorrow thou shalt 
be slain. 

12 So Michal m let David down 
through a window: and he went, 
and fled, and escaped. 

13 And Michal took an 3 image, 
and laid it in the bed, and put a 
pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, 
and covered it with a cloth. 

14 And when Saul sent messen- 
gers to take David, she said. He is 
sick. 

15 And Saul sent the messengers 
again to see David, saying, Bring 
him up to me in the bed, that I 
may slay him. 

16 And when the messengers 
were come in, behold, there was an 
image in the bed, with a pillow of 
goats' hair for his bolster. 

17 And Saul said unto Michal, 
Why hast thou deceived me so, 
and sent away mine enemj'-, that 
he is escaped? And Michal an- 
swered Saul, He said unto me, 
Let me go; why n should I kill 
thee? 

18 \ So David fled, and escaped, 
and came to ° Samuel to Kamah, 
and told him all that Saul had 
done to him. And he and Samuel 
went and dwelt in Naioth. 

19 And it was told Saul, saying, 
Behold, David is at Naioth in 
Raman. 

20 And p Saul sent messengers to 
take David: q and when they saw 
the company of the prophets pro- 
phesying, and Samuel standing as 
appointed over them, the Spirit of

God was upon the messengers of 
Saul, and they also r prophesied. 

21 And when it was told Saul, 
he sent other messengers, and they 
prophesied likewise. And Saul 
sent messengers again the third 
time, and they prophesied also. 

22 Then went he also to Ramah, 
and came to a great well that is 
in Sechu: and he asked and said, 
Where are Samuel- and David? 
And one said, Behold, they be at 
Naioth in Ramah. 

23 And he went thither to Naioth 
in Ramah: and s the Spirit of God 
was upon him also, and he went 
on and prophesied, until he came 
to Naioth in Ramah. 

24 And * he stripped off his 
clothes also, and prophesied before 
Samuel in like manner, and * lay- 
down u naked all that day and all 
that night. Wherefore they say, 
Is v Saul also among the pro- 
phets? 

CHAPTER XX. 
1 David consults with Jonathan for his 
safety; 11 their covenant renewed by 
oath. 24 Said, missing David, seeks to 
kill Jonathan. 41 Jonatliun and David 
lovinaly part. 

AND David fled from Naioth 
in Ramah, and came and said 
before Jonathan, What have I 
done? what is mine iniquity? and 
what is my sin before thy father,, 
that he seeketh my life? 

2 And he said unto him, a God 
forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, 
my father will do nothing, either 
great or small, but that he will 
1 show it me: and why should my 
father hide this thing from me? it 
is not so. 

3 And David sware moreover, 
and said, Thy father certainly 
knoweth that I have found grace 
in thine eyes; and he saith, Let 
not Jonathan know this, lest he 
be grieved: but truly, as the Lord 
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there 
is but a step between me and 
death. 

4 Then said Jonathan unto 
David, 2 Whatsoever thy soul 
3 desireth, I will even do it for 
thee. 

5 And David said unto Jonathan, 
Behold, to-morrow is the * new 
moon, and I should not fail to sit 
with the king at meat: but let me 
go, that I may c hide myself in the 
field unto the third dap at even. 

6 If thy father at all miss me, 
then say, David earnestly asked 
leave of me that he might run d to 



Jonathan's covenant with David. 1 SAMUEL, XX. 



Saul tries to hill Jonathc 



Beth-lehem his city; for there is a 
yearly 4 sacrifice there for all the 
family. 

7 If e he say thus, It is well; thy 
servant shall have peace: hut if he 
he Very wroth, then be sure that 
evil is determined by him. 

8 Therefore thou shalt / deal 
kindly with thy servant; for 9 thou 
hast brought thy servant into a 
covenant of the Lord with thee: 
notwithstanding, h if there be in 
me iniquity, slay me thyself; for 
why shouldest thou bring me to 
thy father? 

9 And Jonathan said, Far be it 
from thee: for if I knew certainly 
that evil were determined by my 
father to come upon thee, then 
would not I tell it thee? 

10 Then said David to Jonathan, 
Who shall tell me? or what if thy 
father answer thee roughly? 

11 And Jonathan said unto David, 
Come, and let us go out into the 
field. And they went out both of 
them into the field. 

12 And Jonathan said unto David, 
* Lord God of Israel, when 1 
have 5 sounded my father about 
to-morrow any time, or the third 
dap, and, behold, if there be good 
toward David, and I then send not 
unto thee, and 6 show it thee; 

13 The 'Lord do so and much 
more to Jonathan: but if it please 
my father to do thee evil, then I 
will show it thee, and send thee 
away, that thou mayest go in 
peace: and lc the Lord be with 
thee, as he hath been with my 
father. 

14 And thou shalt not only while 
yet I five show me the kindness of 
the Lord, that I die not: 

15 But also l thou shalt not cut off 
thy kindness from my house for 
ever: no, not when the Lord hath 
cut off the enemies of David every 
one from the face of the earth. 

16 So Jonathan 7 made a covenant 
with the house of David, saying, 
Let" 1 the Lord even require it at 
the hand of David's enemies. 

17 And Jonathan caused David 
to swear again, 8 because he loved 
him: for he loved him as he loved 
his own soul. 

18 Then Jonathan said to David, 
To-morrow is the new moon: and 
thou shalt be missed, because thy 
seat will be 9 empty. 

19 And when thou hast stayed 
three days, then thou shalt go down 
10 quickly, and come to n the place

20 And I will shoot three arrows

21 And, behold, I will send a lad, 
saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I 
expressly say unto the lad, Behold, 
the arrows are on this side of thee, 
take them; then come thou: for 
there is peace to thee, and 13 no

22 But if I say thus unto the 
young man, Behold, the arrows are 
beyond thee; go thy way: for the 
Lord hath sent thee away. 

23 And as touching the matter 
which thou and I have spoken of, 
behold, the Lord be between thee 
and me for ever. 

24 f So David v hid himself in the 
field: and when the new moon 
was come, the king sat him down 
to eat meat. 

25 And the king sat upon his 
seat, as at other times, even upon a 
seat by the wall: and Jonathan 
arose, and q Abner sat by Saul's 
side, and David's place was empty. 

26 Nevertheless Saul spake not 
any thing that day: for he thought, 
Something hath befallen him, he 
is r not clean; surely he is not 
clean. 

27 And it came to pass on the 
morrow, which was the second day of 
the month, that David's place was 
empty: and Saul said unto Jona- 
than his son, Wherefore cometh 
not the son of Jesse to meat, nei- 
ther yesterday nor to-day? 

28 And Jonathan answered Saul, 
David earnestly asked leave of me 
to go to Beth-lehem: 

29 And he said, Let me go, I pray 
thee; for our family hath a sacri- 
fice in the city; and my brother, 
he hath commanded me to be 
there: and now, if I have found 
favour in thine eyes, let me get 
away, I pray thee, and see my 
brethren: therefore he cometh not 
unto the kingf s table. 

30 Then Saul's anger was kindled 
against Jonathan, and he said unto 
him, u Thou son of the perverse 
rebellious woman, do not I know 
that thou hast chosen the son of 
Jesse to thine own confusion, and 
unto the confusion of thy mother's 
nakedness? 

31 For as long as the son of Jesse 
liveth upon the ground, thou shalf

not be established, nor thy king- 
dom. Wherefore now send and 
fetch him unto me, for he la shall 
surely die. 

32 And Jonathan answered Saul 
his father, and said unto him, 
Wherefore s shall he be slain? 
what hath he done? 

33 And Saul cast a javelin at 
him to smite him: whereby Jona- 
than knew that it was determined 
of his father to slay David. 

34 So Jonathan arose from the 
table in fierce anger, and did eat 
no meat the second day of the 
month: for he was grieved for 
David, because his father had done 
him shame. 

35 If And it came to pass in the 
morning, that Jonathan went out 
into the field at the time appointed 
with David, and a little lad with 
him. 

36 And he said unto his lad, Eun, 
find out now the arrows which I 
shoot. And as the lad ran, he 
shot an arrow 16 beyond him. 

37 And when the lad was come to 
the place of the arrow which Jona- 
than had shot, Jonathan cried after 
the lad, and said, Is not the arrow 
beyond thee? 

38 And Jonathan cried after the 
lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. 
And Jonathan's lad gathered up 
the arrows, and came to his master. 

39 But the lad knew not any 
thing: only Jonathan and David 
knew the matter. 

40 And Jonathan gave his 17 ar- 
tillery unto 18 his lad, and said unto 
him, Go, carry them to the city. 

41 ^ And as soon as the lad was 
gone, David arose out of a place 
toward the south, and fell on his 
face to the ground, and bowed 
himself three times: and they kissed 
one another, and wept one with 
another, until David exceeded. 

42 And Jonathan said to David, 
Go in peace, 19 forasmuch as we 
have sworn both of us in the name 
of the Lord, saying, The Lord be 
between me and thee, and between 
my seed and thy seed for ever. 
And he arose and departed: and 
Jonathan went into the city.

Why art thou alone, and no man 
with thee ? 

2 And David said unto Ahime- 
lech the priest, c The king hath 
commanded me a business, and 
hath said unto me, Let no man 
know any thing of the business 
whereabout I send thee, and what 
I have commanded thee: and I 
have appointed my servants to 
such and such a place. 

3 Now therefore what is under 
thine hand? give me five loaves of 
bread in mine hand, or what there 
is * present. 

4 And the priest answered David, 
and said, There is no common 
bread under mine hand; but there 
is d hallowed bread; if 6 the young 
men have kept themselves at least 
from women. 

5 And David answered the priest, 
and said unto him, Of a truth 
women have been kept from us 
about these three days, since I 
came out, and the f vessels of the 
young men are holy, and the bread 
is in a manner common, 2 yea, 
though it were sanctified this day 
iu 9 the vesseL 

6 So the priest A gave him hallowed 
bread: for there was no bread there 
but the showbread, * that was taken 
from before the Lord, to put hot 
bread in the day when it was taken 
away. 

7 Now a certain man of the ser- 
vants of Saul was there that day, 
detained before the Lord; and his 
name wasWoeg, an Edomite, the 
chiefest of the herdmen that be- 
longed to Saul. 

8 And David said unto Ahime- 
lech, And is there not here under 
thine hand spear or sword ? for I 
have neither brought my sword 
nor my weapons with me, because 
the king's business required 
haste. 

9 And the priest said, The sword 
of Goliath the Philistine, whom 
thou slewest in the valley of Elah, 
behold, k it ishere wrapped in a cloth 
behind the ephod: if thou wilt take 
that, take it; for there is no other 
save that here. And David said, 
There is none like that; give it me. 

10 % And David arose, and fled 
that day for fear of Saul, and went 
to 3 Achish the king of Gath. 

11 And l the servants of Achish

his thousands, and David his ten 
thousands? 

12 And David laid up these words 
in his heart, and was sore afraid of 
Achish the king of Gath. 

13 And n he changed his behav- 
iour before them, and feigned 
himself mad in their hands, and 
4 scrabbled on the doors of the 
gate, and let his spittle fall down 
upon his beard. 

14 Then said Achish unto his 
servants, Lo, ye see the man 5 is 
mad: wherefore then have ye 
brought him to me? 

15 Have I need of mad men, that 
ye have brought this fellow to play 
the mad man in my presence? 
shall this fellow come into my 
house? 

CHAPTER XXIL 

1 David's kindred and others resort to him 
at Adullam. 9 Doeg accuses Ahime- 
lech. 17 Saul commands to kill the 
priests. 20 Abiathar escapes, and flees 
after David. 

DAVID therefore departed 
thence, a and escaped h to the 
cave Adullam : and when his 
brethren and all his father's house 
heard it, they went down thither 
to him. 

2 And c every one that was in dis- 
tress, and every one that 1 was in 
debt, and every one that was 2 discon- 
tented, gathered themselves unto 
him; and he became a captain over 
them: and there were with him 
about four hundred men. 

3 % And David went thence to 
Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto 
the king of Moab, d Let my father 
and my mother, I pray thee, come 
forth, and be with you, till I know 
what God will do for me. 

4 And he brought them before 
the king of Moab; and they dwelt 
with him all the while that David 
was in the hold. 

5 If And the prophet e Gad said 
unto David, Abide not in the hold; 
depart, and get thee into the land 
of Judah. Then David departed, 
and came into the forest of Hareth. 

6 If When Saul heard that David 
was discovered, and the men that 
were with him, (now Saul abode in 
Gibeah under a 3 tree in Eamah, 
having his spear in his hand, and 
all his servants were standing 
about him;) 

7 Then Saul said unto his ser- 
vants that stood about him, Hear 
now, ye Benjamites; will the son of 
Jesse / give every one of you fields

8 That all of you have conspired

4 showeth me that (J my son hath

9 ^ Then answered ft Doeg the 
Edomite, which was set over the 
servants of Saul, and said, I saw 
the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to 
Ahimelech * the son of * Ahitub. 

10 And * he enquired of the Lord 
for him, and gave l him victuals, 
and gave him the sword of Goliath 
the Philistine. 

11 ^ Then the king sent to call 
Ahimelech the priest, the son of 
Ahitub, and all his father's house, 
the priests that were in Nob: and 
they came all of them to the king. 

12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou 
son of Ahitub. And he answered, 

5 Here I am, my lord. 

13 And Saul said unto him, Why 
have ye conspired against me, thou 
and the son of Jesse, in tbat thou 
hast given him bread, and a sword, 
and hast enquired of God for him, 
that he should rise against me, to 
lie in wait, as at this day? 

14 Then Ahimelech m answered 
the king, and said, And who is so 
faithful among all thy servants as 
David, which is the king's son-in- 
law, and goeth at thy bidding, and 
is honourable in thine house? 

15 Did I then begin to enquire of 
God for him? be it far from me. 
Let not the king impute anything 
unto his servant, nor to all the 
house of my father: for thy servant 
knew nothing of all this, 6 less or 
more. 

16 And the king said, Thou shalt 
surely die, Abimelech, thou, and 
all tby father's house. 

17 And the king said unto the 
7 footmen that stood about him, 
Turn, and slay the priests of the 
Lord; because their hand also is 
with David, and because they knew 
when he fled, and did not show it 
to me. But the servants of the 
king n would not put forth their 
hand to fall upon the priests of the 

LORD; 

18 And ° the king said to Doeg, 
Turn thou, and fall upon the 
priests. And Doeg the Edomite

21 And Abiathar showed David

22 And David said unto Abiathar, 
I knew it that day, when Doeg the 
Edomite was there, that he would 
surely tell Saul: I have occasioned 
the death of all the persons of thy 
father's house.

3 And David's men said unto 
him, Behold, we be afraid here in

Lord yet again. And the Lord 
answered him, and said, Arise, go

Philistines, and brought away 
their cattle, and smote them with 
a great slaughter. So David saved

Saul said, God d hath delivered 
him into mine hand; for he is shut 
in, by entering into a town that 
hath gates and bars. 

8 And Saul called all the people 
together to war, to go down to 
Keilah, to besiege David and his 
men. 

9 And David knew that Saul 
secretly practised mischief against 
him; and e he said to Abiathar 
the priest, Bring hither the ephod. 

10 Then said David, O Lord God 
of Israel, thy servant hath cer- 
tainly heard that Saul seeketh to 
come to Keilah, /to destroy the 
city for my sake. 

11 Will the men of Keilah deliver 
me up into his hand? will Saul 
come down, as thy servant hath 
heard? Lord God of Israel, I 
beseech thee, tell thy servant 
And the Lord said, He will come 
down. 

12 Then said David, Will the 
men of Keilah * deliver me and 
my men into the hand of Saul? 
And the Lord said, They will 
deliver thee up. 

13 Then David and his men, 
which 9 were about six hundred, 
arose and departed out of Keilah, 
and went whithersoever they 
could go. And it was told Saul 
that David was escaped from 
Keilah; and he forbare to go 
forth. 

14 And David abode in th6 
wilderness in strong holds, and 
remained in h a mountain in the 
wilderness of i Ziph. And Saul 
sought i him every day; but k God 
delivered him not into his hand. 

15 And David saw that Saul was 
come out to seek his fife: and 
David was in the wilderness of 
Ziph in a wood. 

16 f And Jonathan, Saul's son, 
arose, and went to David into the 
wood, and strengthened his hand 
in God. 

17 And he said unto him, Fear 
not; for the hand of Saul my 
father shall not find thee; and 
thou shalt be king over Israel, and 
I shall be next unto thee; * and 
that also Saul my father knoweth. 

18 And they two m made a cove- 
nant before the Lord. And David 
abode in the wood, and Jonathan 
went to his house. 

19 f Then n came up the Ziphites 
to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth 
not David hide himself with us in 
Strong holds in the wood, in the 



Saul pursues David at Maori, 1 SAMUEL, XXIV. David saves Saul at En-gedi, 



hill of Hachilah, which is 2 on the 
south of 3 Jeshimon? 

20 Now therefore, king, corne 
down, according to all the desire 
of thy soul to come down; and 
* our part shall be to deliver him 
into the king's hand. 

21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of 
the Lord; for ye have compassion 
on me. 

22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, 
and know and see his place where 
his 5 haunt is, and who hath seen 
him there: for it is told me that he 
dealeth veiy suhtilly. 

23 See therefore, and take know- 
ledge of all the lurking places 
where he hideth himself, and 
come ye again to me with the 
certainty, and I will go with you: 
and it shall come to pass, if he he 
in the land, that I will search him 
out throughout all the thousands 
of Judah. 

24 And they arose, and went to 
Ziph before Saul: but David and 
his men were in the wilderness ° of 
Maon, in the plain on the south of 
Jeshimon. 

25 Saul also and his men went to 
seek him. And they told David: 
wherefore he came down 6 into a 
rock, and abode in the wilderness 
of Maon. And when Saul heard 
that, he pursued after David in the 
wilderness of Maon. 

26 And Saul went on this side of 
the mountain, and David and his 
men on that side of the mountain: 
and p David made haste to get 
away for fear of Saul; for Saul and 
his men q compassed David and 
his men round about to take them. 

27 ^[ But r there came a messen- 
ger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, 
and come; for the Philistines have 
7 invaded the land. 

28 Wherefore Saul returned from 
pursuing after David, and went 
against the Philistines: therefore 
they called that place 8 Sela- 
hammahlekoth. 

29 \ And David went up from 
thence, and dwelt in strong holds 
at s En-gedi.

2 Then Saul took three thousand 
chosen men out of all Israel, b and 
went to seek David and his men 
upon the rocks of the wild goats. 

3 And he came to the sheep- 
cotes by the way, where was a 
cave; and Saul went in to c cover 
his feet: and d David and his men 
remained in the sides of the cave. 

4 And 6 the men of David said 
unto him, Behold the day of which 
the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I 
will deliver thine enemy into 
thine hand, that thou mayest do 
to him as it shall seem good unto 
thee. Then David arose, and cut 
off the skirt of 2 Saul's robe privily. 

5 And it came to pass afterward, 
that David's /heart smote him, 
because he had cut off Saul's skirt 

6 And he said unto his men, 
The g Lord forbid that I should 
do this thing unto my master, the 
Lord's anointed, to stretch forth 
mine hand against him, seeing he 
is the anointed of the Lord. 

7 So David s stayed his servants 
with these words, and suffered 
them not to rise against SauL 
But Saul rose up out of the cave, 
and went on his way. 

8 % David also arose afterward, 
and went out of the cave, and 
cried after Saul, saying, My lord 
the king. And when Saul looked 
behind him, David stooped with 
his face to the earth, and bowed 
himself. 

9 And David said to Saul, 
Wherefore A hearest thou men's 
words, saying, Behold, David 
seeketh thy hurt? 

10 Behold, this day thine eyes 
have seen how that the Lord had 
delivered thee to-day into mine 
hand in the cave: and some bade 
me kill thee; but mine eye spared 
thee; and I said, I will not put 
forth mine hand against my lord; 
for he is the Lord's anointed. 

11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, 
see the skirt of thy robe in my 
hand: for in that I cut off the skirt 
of thy robe, and lolled thee not, 
know thou and see that there is 
neither * evil nor transgression in 
mine hand, and I have not sinned 
against thee; yet thou •>' huntest 
my soul to take it. 

12 The * Lord judge between me 
and thee, and the Lord avenge 
me of thee: but mine hand shall 
not be upon thee.

ancients, Wickedness proceedeth

14 After whom is the l king of

after" a flea? 

15 The Lord therefore be judge, 
and judge between me and thee, 
and ° see, and p plead my cause, 
and 4 deliver me out of thine 
hand. 

16 51 And it came to pass, when 
David had made an end of speak- 
ing these words unto Saul, that 
Saul said, q Is this thy voice, my 
son David? And Saul lifted up 
his voice, and wept. 

17 And he said to David, Thou 
art r more righteous than I; for 
thou s hast rewarded me good, 
whereas I have rewarded thee 
evil. 

18 And thou hast showed this 
day how that thou hast dealt well 
with me: forasmuch as, when the 
Lord had 5 delivered me into 
thine hand, thou killedst me not. 

19 For if a man find his enemy, 
will he let him go well away? 
wherefore the Lord reward thee 
good for that thou ha6t done unto 
me this day. 

20 And now, behold, ( 1 know 
well that thou shalt surely be 
king, and that the kingdom of 
Israel shall be established in thine 
hand. 

21 Swear now therefore unto me 
by the Lord, that thou wilt not 
cut off my seed after me, and that 
thou wilt not destroy my name

Nabal, and the name of his wife 
Abigail: and she was a 9 woman of 
good < understanding, and of a

man was h churlish and evil in his 
doings; and he was of the house of 
Caleb. 

4 And David heard in the wil-

sheep. 

5 And David sent out ten young 
men; and David said unto the 
young men, Get you up to Carmel, 
and go to Nabal, and 2 greet him 
in my name: 

6 And thus shall ye say to him 
that liveth in prosperity, ) Peace be 
both to thee, and peace be to thine 
house, and peace be unto all that 
thou hast. 

7 And now I have heard that 
thou hast shearers: now thy 
shepherds which were with us, we 
3 hurt them not, neither was there 
ought missing unto them, all the 
while they were in Carmel. 

8 Ask thy young men, and they 
will show thee. Wherefore let the 
young men find favour in thine 
eyes: for we come in k a good day: 
give, I pray thee, whatsoever 
cometh to thine hand unto thy 
servants, and to thy son David.

10 And Nabal answered David's 
servants, and said, l Who is David? 
and who is the son of Jesse? There 
be many servants now-a-days that 
break away every man from his 
master. 

11 Shall m I then take my bread, 
and my water, and my 5 flesh that 
I have killed for my shearers, and 
give it unto men whom I know 
not whence they be? 

12 So David's young men turned 
their way, and went again, and 
came and told him all those 
sayings. 

13 And David said unto his men, 
Gird ye on every man his sword. 
And they girded on every man 
his sword; and David also girded 
on his sword: and there went up 
after David about four hundred 
men; and two hundred n abode 
by the stuff. 

14 1f But one of the young men 
told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, 
Behold, David sent messengers out 
of the wilderness to salute our 
master; and he 6 railed on them: 



Abigail by her wisdom 



1 SAMUEL, XXV. 



pacifies David. 



15 But the men were very good 
unto us, and we were not 7 hurt, 
neither missed we any thing, as 
long as we were conversant with 
them, when we were in the fields: 

16 They were ° a wall unto us, 
both by night and day, all the 
while we were with them keeping 
the sheep. 

17 Now therefore know and con- 
sider what thou wilt do; for evil is 
determined against our master, 
and against all his household: for 
he is such a son of Belial, that a 
man cannot speak to him. 

18 Then Abigail made haste, and 
took p two hundred loaves, and 
two bottles of wine, and five sheep 
ready dressed, and five measures 
of parched corn, and an hundred 
8 clusters of raisins, and two hun- 
dred cakes of figs, and laid them 
on asses. 

19 And she said unto her ser- 
vants, q Go on before me; behold, 

I come after you. But she told 
not her husband Nabal. 

20 And it was so, as she rode on 
the ass, that she came down by 
the covert of the hill, and, behold, 
David and his men came down 
against her; and she met them. 

21 Now David had said, Surely 
in vain have I kept all that this 
fellow hath in the wilderness, so 
that nothing was missed of all that 
pertained unto him: and he hath 
requited r me evil for good. 

22 So * and more also do God 
unto the enemies of David, if I 
leave of all that pertain to him, by 
the morning light, any that piss- 
eth against the wall. 

23 And when Abigail saw David, 
she hasted, and ' lighted off the 
ass, and fell before David on her 
face, and bowed herself to the 
ground, 

24 And fell at his feet, and said, 
Upon me, my lord, upon me let 
this iniquity be; and let thine 
handmaid, I pray thee, speak in 
thine 9 audience, and hear the 
words of thine handmaid. 

25 Let not my lord. I pray thee, 
10 regard this man of Belial, even 
Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; 

II Nabal is his name, and folly is 
with him: but I thine handmaid 
saw not the young men of my lord, 
whom thou didst send. 

26 Now therefore, my lord," as the 
Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, 
seeing the Lord hath " withholden 
thee from coming to shed blood,

and from 12 avenging thyself with

27 And now x this 13 blessing,

be given unto the young men that 

14 follow my lord. 

28 I pray thee, forgive the tres- 
pass of thine handmaid: for y the 
Lord will certainly make my lord 
a sure house ; because my lord 
fighteth the battles of the Lord, 
and z evil hath not been found in 
thee all thy days. 

29 Yet a man is risen to pursue 
thee, and to seek thy soul: but the 
soul of my lord shall be a bound in

enemies, them shall he 6 sling out, i 

15 as out of the middle of a sling. 

30 And it shall come to pass, I 
when the Lord shall have done to

thee, and shall have appointed 
thee ruler over Israel, 

31 That this shall be 16 no grief 
unto thee, nor offence of heart unto 
my lord, either that thou hast shed 
blood causeless, or that my lord 
hath avenged himself: but when 
the Lord shall have dealt well 
with my lord, then remember thine 
handmaid. 

32 ^ And David said to Abigail, 
Blessed c be the Lord God of Israel, 
which sent thee this day to meet 
me: 

33 And blessed be thy advice, and 
blessed be thou, which hast kept me 
this day from coming to shed blood, 
and from avenging myself with 
mine own hand. 

34 For in very deed, as the Lord 
God of Israel liveth, which hath 
kept me back from hurting thee, 
except thou hadst hasted and come 
to meet me, surely there had not 
been left unto Nabal by the morn- 
ing light any that pisseth against 
the wall. 

35 So David received of her hand 
that which she had brought him, 
and said unto her, d Go up in peace 
to thine house; see, I have heark- 
ened to thy voice, and have ac- 
cepted e thy person. 

36 Tf And Abigail came to Nabal: 
and, behold, /he held a feast in his 
house, like the feast of a king; and 
Nabal's heart was merry within 
him, for he was g very drunken:

wherefore she told him nothing, 
less or more, until the morning 
light. 

37 But it came to pass in the 
morning, when the wine was gone 
out of Nabal, and his wife had told 
him these things, that his h heart 
died within him, and he became 
as a stone. 

38 And it came to pass about ten 
days after, that * the Lord smote 
Nabal, that he died. 

39 And when David heard that 
Nabal was dead, he said. Blessed 
be the Lord, that hath * pleaded 
the cause of my reproach from the 
hand of Nabal, and hath kept his 
servant from evil : for the Lord 
hath * returned the wickedness of 
Nabal upon his own head. And 
David sent and communed with 
Abigail, to take her to him to wife. 

40 And when the servants of 
David were come to Abigail to 
Carmel, they spake unto her, say- 
ing, David sent us unto thee, to 
take thee to him to wife. 

41 And she arose, and bowed her- 
self on her face to the earth, and 
said, Behold, let thine l handmaid 
be a servant to wash the feet of the 
servants of my lord. 

42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, 
and rode upon an ass, with five 
damsels of hers that went 17 after 
her; and she went after the mes- 
sengers of David, and became his 
wife. 

43 David also took Ahinoam m of 
Jezreel; and n they were also both 
of them his wives. 

44 But Saul had given "Michal 
Iris daughter, David's wife, to 
1S Phalti the son of Laish, which was 
of^Gallim.

4 David therefore sent out spies, 
and understood that Saul was 
come in very deed. 

5 f And David arose, and came 
to the place where Saul had 
pitched: and David beheld the 
place where Saul lay, and Abner 
the h son of Ner, the captain of 
his host: and Saul lay in the 
1 trench, and the people pitched 
round about him. 

6 Then answered David, and said 
to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to 
Abishai c the son of Zeruiah, 
brother to Joab, saying, Who will 
go d down with me to Saul to the 
camp? And Abishai said, I will go 
down with thee. 

7 So David and Abishai came to 
the people by night: and, behold, 
Saul lay sleeping within the trench, 
and his spear stuck in the ground 
at his bolster: but Abner and the 
people lay round about him. 

8 Then said Abishai to David, 
God hath 2 delivered thine enemy 
into thine hand this day: now 
therefore let me smite him, I pray 
thee, with the spear even to thti 
earth at once, and I will not smite 
him the second time. 

9 And David said to Abishai, De. 
stroy him not: for who can stretch 
forth his hand against the Lord's 
anointed, and be guiltless? 

10 David said furthermore, As 
the Lord liveth, e the Lord shall 
smite him; or / his day shall come 
to die; or he shall 9 descend into 
battle, and perish. 

11 The h Lord forbid that I 
should stretch forth mine hand 
against the Lord's anointed: but, 
I pray thee, take thou now the 
spear that is at his bolster, and the 
cruse of water, and let us go. 

12 So David took the spear and 
the cruse of water from Saul's 
bolster; and they gat them away, 
and no man saw it, nor knew it, 
neither awaked: for they were all 
asleep; because i a deep sleep from 
the Lord was fallen upon them. 

13 % Then David went over to 
the other side, and stood on the 
top of an hili afar off, a great space 
being between them: 

14 And David cried to the people, 
and to Abner the son of Ner, say- 
ing, Answerest thou not, Abner? 
Then Abner answered and said, 
Who art thou that criest to the 
king? 

15 And David said to Abner, Art 
not thou a valiant man? and who 



David reproves Abner.

is like to thee in Israel? wherefore 
then hast thou not kept thy lord 
the king? for there came one of 
the people in to destroy the king 
thy lord. 

16 This thing is not good that 
thou hast done. As the Lord 
liveth, ye are 3 worthy to die, be- | 
cause ye have not kept your | 
master, the Lord's anointed. And i 
now see where the king's spear is, 
and the cruse of water that teas at 
his bolster. 

17 And Saul knew David's voice, 
and said, Is i this thy voice, my 
son David? And David said, It is 
my voice, my lord, king. 

18 And he said, * Wherefore doth 
my lord thus pursue after his ser- 
vant? for what have I done? 'or 
what evil is in mine hand? 

19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let 
my lord the king hear the words 
of his servant. If the Lord have 
stirred m thee up against me, let 
him 4 accept an offering: but if 
they be the children of men, cursed 
be they before the Lord; n for they 
have driven me out this day from 
5 abiding in the ° inheritance of the 
Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods. 

20 Now therefore, let not my 
blood fall to the earth before the 
face of the Lord ; for the Icing of 
Israel is come out to seek p a flea, 
as when one doth hunt a partridge 
in the mountains. 

21 \\ Then said SauL q I have sin- 
ned: return, my son David; for I 
will no more do thee harm, be- 
cause my soul was r precious in 
thine eyes this day: behold, I have 
played the fool, and have erred 
exceedingly. 

22 And David answered and said, 
Behold the king's spear! and let 
one of the young men come over 
and fetch it. 

23 The a Lord render to every 
man his righteousness and Ins 
faithfulness: for the Lord de- 
livered thee into my hand to-day; 
but I would not stretch forth mine 
hand against the Lord's anointed. 

24 And, behold, as thy life was 
much set by this day in mine eyes, 
so let my life be much set by in the 
eyes of the Lord, and let him de- 
liver me out of all tribulation. 

25 Then Saul said to David, 
Blessed be thou, my son David: 
thou shalt both do great things, 
and also shalt still * prevail. So 
David went on his way, and Saul 
returned to his place.

CHAPTER XXVLL 

1 Saul, hearing that David was fled to 
Oath, reeks no more for Mm. 5 David 
begs Ziklag of Achish. 

AND David said in his heart, 1 
shall now 1 perish one day by 
the hand of Saul: there is nothing 
better for me than that I should 
speedily escape into the land of 
the Philistines ; and Saul shall 
despair of me, to seek me any 
more in any coast of Israel: so 
shall I escape out of his hand. 

2 And David arose, a and he 
passed over with the six hundred 
men that were with him 6 unto 
Achish, the son of Maoch, king of 
G-ath. 

3 And David dwelt with Achish 
at Gath, he and his men, every 
man with his household, even David 
with his two wives, Ahinoam the 
Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Car- 
melitess, Nabal's wife. 

4 And it was told Saul that David 
was fled to Gath: and he sought 
no more again for him. 

5 % And David said unto Achish, 
If I have now found grace in thine 
eyes, let them give me a place in 
some town in the country, that I 
may dwell there: for why should 
thy servant dwell in the royal city 
with thee? 

6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag 
that day: wherefore c Ziklag per- 
taineth unto the kings of Judah 
unto this day. 

7 And 2 the time that David dwelt 
in the country of the Philistines 
was 3 a full year and four months. 

8 If And David and his men went 
up, and invaded d the Geshurites, 
and e the 4 Gezerites, and / the 
Amalekites: for those nations were 
of old the inhabitants of the land, 
as 9 thou goest to Shur, even unto 
the land of Egypt. 

9 And David smote the land, and 
left neither man nor woman alive, 
and took away the sheep, and the 
oxen, and the asses, and the 
camels, and the apparel, and 
returned, and came to Achish. 

10 And Achish said, 5 Whither 
have ye made a road to-day? And 
David said, A Against the south of 
Judah, and against the south of 
the * Jerahmeelites, and against 
the south of the Kenites. 

11 And David saved neither man 
nor woman alive, to bring tidings 
to Gath, saying, Lest they should 
tell on us, saying, So did David, 
and so will be his manner all the 



Saul consulteth

while he dwelleth in the country 
of the Philistines. 
12 And Achish believed David, 
saying, He hath 6 made his people 
Israel utterly to abhor him; there- 
fore he shall be my servant for 
ever. 

CHAPTEK XXVILL 

1 Achish's confidence in David. 7 Saul 
seeks to a witch, who, being encouraged 
by him, raises up Samuel. 15 Saul, 
hearing his ruin, faints: 21 he is re- 
freshed with meat. 

AN D a it came to pass in those 
days, that the Philistines 
gathered their armies together 
for warfare, to fight with Israel: 
and Achish said unto David, 
1 Know thou assuredly, that thou 
shalt go out with me to battle, 
thou and thy men. 

2 And David said to Achish, 
Surely 6 thou shalt know what thy 
servant can do. And Achish said 
to David, Therefore will I make 
thee keeper of mine head for ever. 

3 f Now c Samuel was dead, and 
all Israel had lamented him, and 
buried him in Eamah, even in his 
own city. And Saul had put away 
those d that had familiar spirits, 
and the wizards, out of the land. 

d And the Philistines gathered 
themselves together, and came 
and pitched in e Shunem: and 
Saul gathered all Israel together, 
and they pitched in^Gilboa. 

5 And when Saul saw the host of 
the Philistines, he was g afraid, 
and his heart greatly trembled. 

6 And when Saul enquired of the 
Lord, the h Lord answered him 
not, neither * by dreams, nor i by 
Urim, nor by prophets. 

7 Then said Saul unto his ser- 
vants, Seek me a woman that 
hath a familiar spirit, that I may 
go to her, and enquire of her. And 
his servants said to him, Behold, 
there is a woman that hath a fa- 
miliar spirit at En-dor. 

8 And Saul disguised himself, and 
put on other raiment, and he went, 
and two men with him, and they 
came to the woman by night: and 
he * said, I pray thee, divine unto 
me by the familiar spirit, and 
bring me him up whom I shall 
name unto thee. 

9 And the woman said unto him, 
Behold, thou knowest what Saul 
hath done, how he hath cut off 
those that have familiar spirits, 
and the wizards, out of the land: 
wherefore then layest thou a

snare for my life, to cause me to 
die? 

10 And Saul sware to her by the 
Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, 
there shall no punishment happen 
to thee for this thing. 

11 Then said the woman, Whom 
shall I bring up unto thee? And 
he said, Bring me up Samuel. 

12 And when the woman l saw 
Samuel, she cried with a loud 
voice: and the woman spake to 
Saul, saying, Why hast thou de- 
ceived me? for thou art Saul. 

13 And the king said unto her r 
Be not afraid: for what sawest 
thou? And the woman said unto 
Saul, I saw m gods ascending out 
of the earth. 

14 And he said unto her, 2 What 
form is he of? And she said, An 
old man cometh up; and he is 
covered with * a mantle. And 
Saul perceived that it was Samuel, 
and he ° stooped with his face to 
the ground, and bowed himself. 

15 And Samuel said to Saul, 
Why hast thou disquieted me, to 
bring me up? And Saul an- 
swered, p I am sore distressed; for 
the Philistines make war against 
me, and 3 God is departed from 
me, and answereth me no more, 
neither 3 by prophets, nor by 
dreams: therefore I have called 
thee, that thou mayest make 
known unto me what I shall do. 

16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore 
then dost thou ask of me, seeing 
the Lord is departed from thee, 
and is become thine enemy? 

17 And the Lord hath done 4 to 
him r as he spake by 5 me: for the 
Lord hath rent the kingdom out 
of thine hand, and given it to thy 
neighbour, even to David: 

18 Because 3 thou obeyedst not the 
voice of the Lord, nor executedst 
his fierce wrath upon Amalek, 
therefore hath the Lord done this 
thing unto thee this day. 

19 Moreover the Lord will also 
deliver Israel with thee into the 
hand of the Philistines; and to- 
morrow shalt thou and thy sons be 
with me: the Lord also shall 
deliver the host of Israel into the 
hand of the Philistines. 

20 Then Saul 6 fell straightway 
all along on the earth, and ' was 
sore afraid, because of the words 
of Samuel: and there was no 
strength in him; for he had eaten 
no bread all the day, nor all the 
night. 



The Philistines prevent David 1 SAMUEL, XXIX, XXX. from, fighting with Israel 



21 tf And the woman came unto 
Saul, and saw thatjie was sore 
troubled, and said unto him, 
Behold, thine handmaid hath 
obeyed thy voice, and " I have 
put my life in my hand, and have 
hearkened unto thy words which 
thou spakest unto me: 

22 Now therefore, I pray thee, 
hearken thou also unto the voice 
of thine handmaid, and let me set 
a morsel of bread before thee; 
and eat, that thou mayest have 
strength when thou goest on thy 
way. 

23 But he refused, and said, ° I 
will not eat. But his servants, 
together with the woman, com- 
pelled him; and he hearkened 
unto their voice. So he arose 
from the earth, and sat upon the 
bed. 

24 And the woman had w a fat 
calf in the house; and she hasted, 
and killed it, and took flour, and 
kneaded it, and did bake un- 
leavened bread thereof: 

25 And she brought it before 
Saul, and before his servants; and 
they did eat. Then they rose up, 
and went away that night. 

CHAPTER XXIX. 

1 David, marching with the Philistines to 
fight with Israel. 3 is disallowed by their 
princes: 6 Achish dismisses him with 
commendations of his fidelity. 

NOW ° the Philistines gathered 
together all their armies l to 
Aphek: and the Israelites pitch- 
ed by a fountain which is in 
Jezreel. 

2 And the lords of the Philistines 
passed on by hundreds and by 
thousands; but David and his men 
passed on in the rereward c with 
Achish. 

3 Then said the princes of the 
Philistines, What do these Hebrews 
here? And Achish said unto the 
princes of the Philistines, Is not 
this David, the servant of Saul the 
king of Israel, which hath been 
with me these d days, or these 
years, and I have found 6 no fault 
in him since he fell unto me unto 
this day? 

4 Ana the princes of the Philis- 
tines were wroth with him; and 
the princes of the Philistines said 
unto him, / Make this fellow re- 
turn, that he may go again to his 
place which thou hast appointed 
him, and let him not go down 
with us to battle, lest in 9 the

for wherewith should he reconcile 
himself unto his master? should it 
not be with the heads of these 
men? 

5 Is not this David, of whom 
they sang one to another in 
dances, saying, h Saul slew his 
thousands, and David his ten 
thousands? 

6 \ Then Achish called David, 
and said unto him, Surely, as the 
Lord liveth, thou hast been up- 
right, and * thy going out and thy 
coming in with me in the host is 
good in my sight: for I have not 
found evil in thee since the day of 
thy coming unto me unto this 
day: nevertheless Hhe lords favour 
thee not. 

7 Wherefore now return, and go 
in peace, that thou 2 displease not 
the lords of the Philistines. 

8 And David said unto Achish, 
But what have I done? and what 
hast thou found in thy servant, so 
long as I have been 3 with thee 
unto this day, that I may not go 
fight against the enemies of my 
lord the king? 

9 And Achish answered and said 
to David, I know that thou art 
good in my sight, 5 as an angel of 
God: notwithstanding the princes 
of the Philistines have said, He 
shall, not go up with us to the 
battle. 

10 Wherefore now rise up early 
in the morning with thy master's 
servants that are come with thee; 
and as soon as ye be up early in 
the morning, and have light, 
depart. 

11 So k David and his men rose 
up early to depart in the morning, 
to return into the land of the 
Philistines: l and the Philistines 
went up to Jezreel. 

CHAPTER XXX 

1 Tlie AmaleJcites spoil Zihlag; 3 out 

David, encouraged by God, pursues 

them, 16 and recovers his two wives and 

all the spoil. 

AND it came to pass, when 
David and his men were 
come to Ziklag on the third day, 
that the a Amalekites had in- 
vaded the south, and Ziklag, and 
smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with 
fire; 
2 And had taken the women 
captives that were therein: b they 
slew not any, either great or small, 
but carried them away, and went 
on their way.

3 So David and his men came to 
the city, and, behold, it was burnt 
with fire; and their wives, and 
their sons, and their daughters, 
were taken captives. 

4 Then David and the people 
that were with him c lifted up their 
voice and wept, until they had no 
more power to weep. 

5 And David's d two wives were 
taken captives, Ahinoam the 
Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife 
of Nabal the Carmelite. 

6 And David was greatly dis- 
tressed; 6 for the people spake of 
stoning him, because the soul of 
all the people was x grieved, every 
man for his sons and for his 
daughters: but /David encouraged 
himself in the Lord his God. 

7 And g David said to Abiathar 
the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray 
thee, bring me hither the ephod. 
And Abiathar brought thither the 
ephod to David. 

8 And h David enquired at the 
Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after 
this troop? shall I overtake them? 
And he * answered him, Pursue; 
for thou shalt surely overtake 
them, and without fail recover 
all 

9 So David went, he and the six 
hundred men that were with him, 
and came to the brook Besor, 
where those that were left behind 
stayed. 

10 But David pursued, he and 
four hundred men: for two hun- 
dred abode behind, which were so 
faint that they could not go over 
the brook Besor. 

m 11 If And i they found an Egyptian 
in the field, and brought hrnito 
David, and gave him bread, and 
he did eat; and they made him 
drink water; 

12 And they gave him a piece of 
a cake of figs, and two clusters of 
raisins: * and, when he had eaten, 
his spirit came again to him: for 
he had eaten no bread, nor drunk 
any water, three days and three 
nights. 

13 And David said unto him, To 
whom belongest thou? and whence 
art thou? And he said, I am a 
young man of Egypt, servant to 
an Amalekite; and my master left 
me, because three days agone I 
fell sick. 

14 We made an invasion upon 
the south of l the Cherethites, and 
upon the coast which behngeth to 
Judah, and upon the south m of

15 And David said to him, Canst 
thou bring me down to this 
company? And he said, Swear 
unto me by God, that thou wilt 
neither kill me, nor deliver me 
into the hands of my master, 
and I will bring thee down to this 
company. 

16 And when he had brought 
him down, behold, they were spread 
abroad upon all the earth, n eating 
and drinking, and dancing, be- 
cause of all the great spoil that 
they had taken out of the land of 
the Philistines, and out of the 
land of Judah. 

17 And David ° smote them from 
the twilight even unto the evening 
of 2 the next day: and there 
escaped not a man of them, save 
four hundred young men, which 
rode upon camels, and fled. 

18 And David p recovered all 
that the Amalekites had carried 
away; and David rescued his two 
wives. 

19 And there was nothing lacking 
to them, neither small nor great, 
neither sons nor daughters, neither 
spoil, nor any thing that they had 
taken to them: David recovered 
all. 

20 And David took all the flocks 
and the herds, which they drave 
before those other cattle, and said, 
This is David's spoiL 

21 5f And David came to the two 
hundred men, which were so faint 
that they could not follow David, 
whom they had made also to 
abide at the brook Besor: and 
they went forth to meet David, 
and to meet the people that were 
with him: and when David came 
near to the people, he 3 saluted 
them. 

22 Then answered all the wicked 
men and men 2 of Belial, of 4 those 
that went with David, and said, 
Because thejr went not with us, 
we will not give them ought of the 
spoil that we have recovered, save 
to every man his wife and his 
children, that they may lead them 
away, and depart. 

23 Then said David, Ye shall not 
do so, my brethren, with that 
which the Lord hath given us, 
who hath preserved us, and de- 
livered the company that came 
against us into our hand. 

24 For who will hearken unto 
you in this matter? but r as his

\ part is that goeth down to the 
battle, so shall his part be that 
tarrieth by the stuff: they shall 
part alike. 

25 And it was so from that day 
5 forward, that he made it a statute 
and an ordinance for Israel unto 
this day. 

26 % And when David came to 
Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto 
the elders of Judah, even to his 
friends, saying, Behold a 6 present 
for you of the spoil of the enemies 
of the Lokd; 

27 To them which were in * Beth-el, 
and to them which were in ' south 
Eamoth, and to them which were

4 Then 'said Saul unto his 
armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, 
and thrust me through therewith; 
lest / these uncircumcised come 
and thrust me through, and 
4 abuse me. But his armour- 
bearer would not; for he was sore 
afraid. Therefore Saul took a 
sword, and 9 fell upon it. 

5 And when his armour-bearer 
saw that Saul was dead, he fell 
likewise upon his sword, and died 
with him. 

6 So Saul A died, and his three 
sons, and his armour-bearer, and 
all his men, that same day 
together. 

7 % And when the men of Israel 
that were on the other side of the 
valley, and they that were on the

men of Israel fled, and that Saul 
and his sons were dead, they for- 
sook the cities, and fled; and the 
Philistines came and dwelt in 
them. 

8 ^ And it came to pass on the 
morrow, when the Philistines 
came to strip the slain, that they 
found Saul and his three sons 
fallen in mount Gilboa. 

9 And they cut off his head, and 
stripped off his armour, and sent 
into the land of the Philistines 
round about, to * publish it in the 
house of their idols, and among 
the people. 

10 And-* they put his armour hi

CHAPTER I. 

2 An Amalekite brings tidings of Saul's 
death. 17 David laments Saul and 
Jonathan. 

NOW it came to pass after the 
death of Saul, when David 
was returned from the a slaughter 
of the Amalekites, and David had 
abode two days in Ziklag; 

2 It came even to pass on the 
third day, that, behold, 6 a man 
came out of the camp from Saul, 
with c his clothes rent, and earth 
upon his head: and so it was, when 
he came to David, that he fell to 
the earth, and did obeisance. 

3 And David said unto him, From 
whence comest thou? And he 
said unto him, Out of the camp of 
Israel am I escaped. 

4 And David said unto him, 2 How 
went the matter? I pray thee, tell 
me. And he answered, That the 
people are fled from the battle, 
and many of the people also are 
fallen and dead; and Saul and 
Jonathan his son are dead also. 

5 And David said unto the young 
man that told him, How knowest 
thou that Saul and Jonathan his 
son be dead? 

6 And the young man that told 
him said, 2 As I happened by 
chance upon d mount Gilboa, be- 
hold, 6 Saul leaned upon his spear; 
and, lo, the chariots and horsemen 
followed hard after him. 

7 And when he looked behind 
him, he saw me, and called unto 
me: and I answered, 3 Here am I. 

8 And he said unto me, Who art 
thou? And I answered him, I am 
an Amalekite. 

9 He said unto me again, Stand, 
I pray thee.upon me, and slay me; 
for 4 anguish is come upon me, be- 
cause my life is yet whole in me. 

10 So I stood upon him, and 
slew/him, because I was sure that 
he could not live after that he was 
fallen: and I took the crown that 
was upon his head, and the brace- 
let that was on his arm, and have 
brought them hither unto my lord. 

11 Then David took hold on his 
clothes, and 9 rent them; and like- 
wise all the men that were with 
him.

the Lord's anointed? 

15 And » David called one of the 
young men, and said, Go near, and 
fall upon him. And he smote him 
that he died. 

16 And David said unto him, 
Thy i blood be upon thy head; * for 
thy mouth hath testified against 
thee, saying, I have slain the Lord's 
anointed. 

17 \ And David lamented with 
this lamentation over Saul and 
over Jonathan his son: 

18 (Also he bade them teach the 
children of Judah 5 the use of the 
bow: behold, it is written * in the 
book 6 of Jasher.) 

I 9 The beauty of Israel is slain 
upon thy high places: how are the j 
mighty fallen! % 

20 Tell m it not in Gath, publish 
it not in the streets of Askelon; 
lest n the daughters of the Philis- 
tines rejoice, lest the daughters of 
the °uncircumcised triumph. 

21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, p let 
there be no dew, neither let there be 
rain upon you, nor fields of offer- 
ings: for there the shield of the 
mighty is vilely cast away, the 
shield of Saul, as though he had not 
been q anointed with oil. 

22 From the blood of the slain, 
from the fat of the mighty, r the 
bow of Jonathan turned not back, 
and the sword of Saul returned 
not empty. 

23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely 
and 7 pleasant in their lives, and 
in their death they were not di- 
vided: they were swifter than 
eagles, they were * stronger than 
lions. 

24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep 
over Saul, who clothed you in 



David made king of Judaic.

put on ornaments of gold upon 
your apparel. 

25 How are the mighty fallen in 
the midst of the battle! Jona- 
than, thou wast slain in thine high 
places. 

26 I am distressed for thee, my 
brother Jonathan: very pleasant 
hast thou been unto me: ' thy love 
to me was wonderful, passing the 
love of women. 

27 How are the mighty fallen, and

CHAPTER H. 
1 David, by God's direction, goes up to 
Hebron, and is wade king over Judah. 
8 Abner makes Ish-bosheth king over Is- 
rael. 18 Asahel slain. 

AN D it came to pass after this, 
that David a enquired of the 
Lord, saying, Shall I go up into 
any of the cities of Judah? And 
the Lord said unto him, Go up. 
And David said, Whither shall I 
go up ? And he said, Unto h Hebron. 

2 So David went up thither, and 
his two wives also, Ahinoam tbe 
Jezreelitess, and Abigail, Nabal's 
wife, the Carmelite. 

3 And c his men that were with 
bim did David bring up, every man 
with his household: and they dwelt 
in the l cities of Hebron. 

4 And d the men of Judah came, 
and there they anointed David 
king over the house of Judah. And 
they told David, saying, That e the 
men of Jabesh-gilead were they that 
buried Saul. 

5 ^f And David sent messengers 
unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and 
said unto them, Blessed / be ye of 
the Lord, that ye have showed this 
kindness unto 3 T our lord, even unto 
Saul, and have buried him. 

6 And now 9 the Lord show kind- 
ness and truth unto you: and h I 
also will requite you this kindness, 
because ye have done this thing. 

7 Therefore now let your hands 
be strengthened, and 2 be ye valiant: 
for your master Saul is dead, and 
also the house of Judah have 
anointed me king over them. 

8 1f But * Abner the son of Ner, 
captain of 3 Saul's host, took 4 Ish- 
bosbeth the son of Saul, and 
brought him over to i Mahanaim;

forty years old when he began to 
reign over Israel, and reigned two 
years. But the house of Judah 
followed David. 

11 And the 5 time that David was 
king in Hebron over the house of 
Judah was seven years and six 
months. 

12 ^ And Abner the son of Ner, 
and the servants of Ish-bosheth 
the son of Saul, went out from 
Mahanaim to * Gibeon. 

13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, 
and the servants of David, went 
out, and met 6 together by *the pool 
of Gibeon: and they sat down, the 
one on the one side of the pool, and 
the other on the other side of the 
pooL 

14 And Abner said to Joab, TO Let 
the young men now arise and play 
before us. And Joab said, Let them 



15 Then there arose and went 
over by number twelve of Benja- 
min, which pertained to Ish-bosheth 
the son of Saul, and twelve- of the 
servants of David. 

16 And they caught every one his 
fellow by the head, and thrust his 
sword in his fellow's side; so they 
fell down together: wherefore that 
place was called 7 Helkath-haz- 
zurim, which is in Gibeon. 

17 And there was a very sore 
battle that day: " and Abner was 
beaten, and the men of Israel, 
before the servants of David. 

18 ^[ And there were ° three sons 
of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abi- 
shai, and Asahel: and Asahel was 
as p light 8 of foot 9 as a wild roe. 

19 And Asahel pursued after 
Abner; and in going he turned 
not to the right hand nor to the 
left 10 from following Abner. 

20 Then Abner looked behind 
him, and said, Art thou Asahel ? 
And he answered, I am. 

21 And Abner said to him, Turn 
thee aside to thy right hand or to 
thy left, and lay thee hold on one 
of the q young men, and take thee 
his 11 armour. But Asahel would not 
turn aside from following of him. 

22 And Abner said again to 
Asahel, Turn thee aside from fol- 
lowing me: w T herefore should I 
smite thee to the ground? how 
then should I hold up my face to 
Joab thy brother? 

23 Howbeit he refused to turn 
aside: wherefore Abner with the 
hinder end of the spear smote him 
under r the fifth rib, that the spear

came out behind him; and he fell 
down there, and died in the same 
place: and it came to pass, thai as 
many as came to the place where 
Asahel fell down and died stood 
still. 

24 Joab also and Abishai pur- 
sued after Abner: and the sun 
went down when they were come 
to the hill of Ammah, that lieth 
before Giah by the way of the 
wilderness of * Gibeon. 

25 ^ And the children of Benja- 
min gathered themselves together 
after Abner, and became one troop, 
and stood on the top of an hill. 

26 Then Abner called to Joab, 
and said, Shall the sword devour 
for ever? knowest thou not that it 
will be bitterness in the latter end ? 
how long shall it be then ere 
thou bid the people return from 
following their 'brethren? 

21 And Joab said, As God liveth, 
unless thou u hadst spoken, surely 
then 12 in the morning the people 
had 13 gone up every one from 
following his brother. 

28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and 
all the people stood still, and pur- 
sued after Israel no more, neither 
fought they any more. 

29 And Abner and his men 
walked all that night through the 
plain, and passed over Jordan, and 
went through all v Bithron, and 
they came to w Mahanaim. 

30 And Joab returned from fol- 
lowing Abner: and when he had 
gathered all the people together, 
there lacked of David's servants 
nineteen men and Asahel. 

31 But the servants of David had 
smitten of Benjamin, and of 
Abner/s men, so that three hun- 
dred and threescore men died. 

32 $ And they took up Asahel, and 
buried him in the sepulchre a of his 
father, which was in Beth-lehem. 
And Joab and his men went all 
night, and they came to Hebron 
at break of day.

Jezreelitess; 

3 And his second, * Chileab, of 
Abigail the wife of Nabal the Car- 
melite; and the third, Absalom, 
the son of Maacah the daughter of 
Talmai, king d of Geshur; 

4 And the fourth, e Adonijah the 
son of Haggith; and the fifth, She- 
phatiah the son of Abital; 

5 And the sixth, Ithream, by 
Eglah, David's wife. These were 
born to David in Hebron. 

6 f And it came to pass, while 
there was war between the house 
of Saul and the house of David, 
that Abner /made himself strong 
for the house of Saul. 

7 And Saul had a concubine, 
whose name was 9 Bizpah, the 
daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth 
said to Abner, Wherefore hast 
thou A gone in unto my father's 
concubine? 

8 Then was Abner very wroth 
for the words of Ish-bosheth, and 
said, Am I * a dog's head, which 
against Judah do show kindness 
this day unto the house of Saul 
thy father, to his brethren, and to 
his friends, and have not deliver- 
ed thee into the hand of David, 
that thou chargest me to-day with 
a fault concerning this woman? 

9 So S do God to Abner, and more 
also, except, k as the Lord hath 
sworn to David, even so I do to 
him; 

10 To translate the kingdom 
from the house of Saul, and to set 
up the throne of David over Is- 
rael, and over Judah, 'from Dan 
even to Beer-sheba. 

11 And he could not answer Ab- 
ner a word again, because he fear- 
ed him. 

12 % And Abner sent messengers 
to David on his behalf, saying, 
Whose is the land? saying also, 
Make thy league with me, and, be- 
hold, my hand shall be with thee, 
to bring about all Israel unto thee. 

13 And he said, Well; I will 
make a league with thee : but one 
thing I require of thee, 2 that is,. 
Thou m shalt not see my face, ex- 
cept thou first bring n Michal, 
Saul's daughter, when thou comest 
to see my face. 

14 And David sent messengers to 
Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying, De- 
liver me my wife Michal, which I 
espoused to me for *an hundred 
foreskins of the Philistines. 

15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took

her from her husband, even from 
Phaltiel v the son of Laish. 

16 And her husband went with 
her 3 along weeping behind her 
to 2 Bahurim. Then said Abner 
unto him, Go, return. And he 
returned. 

17 1T And Abner had communi- 
cation with the elders of Israel, 
saying, Ye sought for David 4 in 
times past to be king over you: 

18 Now then do it: for the Lord 
hath spoken of David, saying, By 
the hand of my servant David I 
will save my people Israel out of 
the hand of the Philistines, and 
out of the hand of all their ene- 
mies. 

19 And Abner also spake in the 
ears r of Benjamin : and Abner 
went also to speak in the ears of 
David in Hebron all that seemed 
good to Israel, and that seemed 
good to the whole house of Benja- 
min. 

20 So Abner came to David to 
Hebron, and twenty men with 
him: and David made Abner, and 
the men that were with him, a feast. 

21 And Abner said unto David, 
I will arise and go, and will gather 
all Israel unto my lord the king, 
that they may make a league with 
thee, and that thou mayest reign 
over s all that thine heart desireth. 
And David sent Abner away; and 
he went in peace. 

22 ^f And, behold, the servants 
of David and Joab came from pur- 
suing a troop, and brought in a 
great spoil with them : but Abner 
teas not with David in Hebron; 
for he had sent him away, and he 
was gone in peace. 

23 When Joab and all the host 
that was with him were come, 
they told Joab, saying, Abner the 
son of Ner came to the king, and 
he hath sent him away, and he is 
gone in peace. 

24 Then Joab came to the king, 
and said, What hast thou done ? 
behold, Abner came unto thee; 
why is it that thou hast sent him 
away, and he is 5 quite gone? 

25 Thou knowest Abner the son 
of Ner, that he came to deceive 
thee, and to know thy r going out, 
and thy coming in, and to know 
all that thou doest. 

26 And when Joab was come 
out from David, he sent mes- 
sengers after Abner, which brought 
him again from the well of Sirah : 
but David knew it not.

27 And when Abner was return- 
ed to Hebron, Joab M took him 
aside in the gate, to speak with 
him 6 quietly, and smote him there 
under * the fifth rib, that he died, 
for the blood of *° Asahel his bro- 
ther. 

28 % And afterward when David 
heard it, he said, I and my king- 
dom are guiltless before the Lord 
for ever from the 7 blood of Abner 
the son of Ner: 

29 Let *it rest on the head of 
Joab, and on all his father's house; 
and let there not 8 fail from the 
house of Joab one y that hath an 
issue, or that is a leper, or that 
leaneth on a staff, or that falleth 
on the sword, or that lacketh bread. 

30 So Joab and Abishai his bro- 
ther slew Abner, because he had 
slain their brother * Asahel at 
Gibeon in the battle. 

31 ^ And David said to Joab, and 
to all the people that were with 
him, ° Eend your clothes, and l gird 
you with sackcloth, and mourn be- 
fore Abner. And king David him- 
self followed the 9 bier. 

32 And they buried Abner in 
Hebron: and the king lifted up 
his voice, and wept at c the grave 
of Abner; and all the people wept. 

33 And the king lamented over 
Abner, and said, Died Abner as a 
fool<*dieth? 

34 Thy hands were not bound, 
nor thy feet put into fetters: as a 
man falleth before 10 wicked men, 
so fellest thou. And all the people 
wept again over him. 

35 And when all the people came 
to e cause David to eat meat while 
it was yet day, David sware, say- 
ing, J So do God to me, and more 
also, if I taste bread, or ought else, 
till 9 the sun be down. 

36. And all the people took notice 
of it, and it u pleased them: as 
whatsoever the king did pleased 
all the people. 

37 For all the people, and all 
Israel, understood that day, that 
it was not of the king to slay 
Abner the son of Ner. 

38 And the king said unto his 
servants, Know ye not that there 
is a prince and a great man fallen 
this day in Israel? 

39 And I am this day u weak, 
though anointed king; and these 
men the sons of Zeruiah h be too 
hard for me: * the Lord shall re- 
ward the doer of evil according to 
his wickedness. 



Baanah and Rechab slay Isk-boshetk. 2 SAMUEL, IV, V. David made king over Israel 



CHAPTER IV. 

2 Baanah and Rechab slay Ish-bosheth, 
and bring his head to Hebron. 9 David 
causes them to be put to death. 

AND when Saul's son heard 
that Ahner was dead in 
Hebron, his hands were feeble, 
and all the Israelites were troubled. 

2 And Saul's son had two men 
that were captains of bands: the 
name of the one was Baanah, and 
the name of the * other Rechab, 
the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, 
of the children of Benjamin: (for 
Beeroth a also was reckoned to 
Benjamin: 

3 And the Beerothites fled 6 to 
Gittaiin, and were sojourners there 
until this day.) 

4 And "Jonathan, Saul's son, 
had a son that was lame of his feet. 
He was five years old when the 
tidings came of Saul and Jonathan 
out d of Jezreel, and his nurse 
took him up, and fled: and it 
came to pass, as she made haste to 
flee, that he fell, and became lame. 
And his name was 2 Mephibosheth. 

5 ^ And the sons of Rimmon the 
Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, 
went, and came about the heat of 
the day to the house of Ish- 
bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon. 

6 And they came thither into 
the midst of the house, 6 as though 
they would have fetched wheat; 
and they smote him / under the 
fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah 
his brother escaped. 

7 For when they came into the 
house, he lay on his bed in his 
bed-chamber, and they smote him, 
and slew him, and beheaded him, 
and took his head, and 9 gat 
them away through the plain all 
night. 

8 And they brought the head of 
Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, 
and said to the king, Behold the 
head of Ish-bosheth the son of 
Saul thine enemy, h which sought 
thy life; and the Lord hath 
avenged my lord the king this 
day of Saul, and of his seed. 

9 \ And David answered Rechab 
and Baanah his brother, the sons 
of Rimmon the Beerothite, and 
said unto them, As the Lord 
liveth, * who hath redeemed my 
soul out of all adversity, 

10 When i one told me, saying, 
Behold, Saul is dead, 3 thinking to 
have brought good tidings, I took 
hold of him, and slew him in 
Ziklag, 4 who thought that I would

tidings: 

11 How much more, when wicked 
men have slain a righteous person 
in his own house upon his bed? 
shall I not therefore now * require 
his blood of your hand, and take 
you away from the earth? 

12 And David commanded his 
young men, and they slew them, 
and cut off their hands and their 
feet, and hanged them up over the 
pool in Hebron: but they took the 
head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it 
in the Sepulchre of Abner in 
Hebron. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 The tribes anoint David king over 
Israel: 6 he takes Zion from the Jebu- 
sites. 13 Eleven sons born to him. 17, 22

THEN a came all the tribes of 
Israel to David unto Hebron, 
and spake, saying, Behold, 6 we 
are thy bone and thy flesh. 

2 Also in time past, when Saul 
was king over us, c thou wast he 
that leddest out and broughtest in 
Israel: and the Lord said to thee, 
Thou d shalt feed my people 
Israel, and thou shalt be a captain 
over Israel. 

3 So e all the elders of Israel came 
to the king to Hebron; /and king 
David made a league with them 
in Hebron 9 before the Lord: and 
they anointed David king over 
Israel. 

4 David was thirty years old 
when he began to reign; h and he 
reigned forty years. 

5 In Hebron he reigned over 
Judah * seven years and six 
months; and in Jerusalem he 
reigned thirty and three years 
over all Israel and Judah. 

6 ^ And the king and his men 
went i to Jerusalem unto * the 
Jebusites, the inhabitants of the 
land; which spake unto David, 
saying, Except thou take away 
the blind and the lame, thou shalt 
not come in hither: x thinking, 
David cannot come in hither. 

7 Nevertheless David took the 
strong hold of Zion: the same is 
the city of David. 

8 And David said on that day, 
Whosoever getteth up to the 
gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, 
and the lame and the blind, that 
are hated of David's soul, l he shall 
be chief and captain. 2 Wherefore 
they said, The blind and the lame 
shall not come into the house. 



David defeats the Philistines. 



2 SAMUEL, VI. He brings the ark from Gibeah. 



9 So David dwelt in the fort, and 
called it, The city of David: and 
David built round about "'from 
Millo and inward. 

10 And David 3 went on, and 
grew great, and the Lord God of 
hosts tvas with him. 

11 fl" And n Hiram king of Tyre 
sent messengers to David, and 
cedar trees, and carpenters, and 
4 masons: and they built David an 
house. 

12 And David perceived that the 
Lord had established him king 
over Israel, and that he had 
exalted his kingdom ° for his 
people Israel's sake. 

13 If And p David took him more 
concubines and wives out of Jeru- 
salem, after he was come from 
Hebron: and there were yet sons 
and daughters born to David. 

14 And these be the names of 
those that were born unto him in 
Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Sho- 
bab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 

15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and 
Nepheg, and Japhia, 

16 And Elishama, and Eliada, 
and Eliphalet. 

17 \ But 2 when the Philistines 
heard that they had anointed 
David king over Israel, all the 
Philistines came up to seek David; 
and David heard of it, r and went 
down to the hold. 

18 The Philistines also came and 
spread themselves in *the valley 
of 5 Rephaim. 

19 And David * enquired of the 
Lord, saying, Shall 1 go up to the 
Philistines? wilt thou deliver them 
into mine hand? And the Lord 
said unto David, Go up; for I will 
doubtless deliver the Philistines 
into thine hand. 

20 And David came to u Baal- 
perazdm, and David smote them 
there, and said, The Lord hath 
broken forth upon mine enemies 
before me, as the breach of waters. 
Therefore he called the name of 
that place 6 Baal-perazim. 

21 And there they left their 
images, and David and his men 
7 burnt them. 

22 1f And the Philistines came up 
yet again, and spread themselves 
in the valley of Rephaim. 

23 And when David enquired of 
the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not 
go up; but fetch a compass behind 
them, and come upon them over 
against the mulberry trees. 

24 And let it be, when thou

CHAPTER VI. 

1 David fetches the ark from Kirjdth- 
jearim on a new cart. 6 Uzzah smitten. 
12 David afterwards brings the ark to 
Zion. 20 MichaVs barrenness. 

AGAIN", David gathered to- 
gether all the chosen men of T 
Israel, thirty thousand. 

2 And a David arose, and went 
with all the people that were with 
him from x Baale of Judah, to 
bring up from thence the ark of 
God, 2 whose name is called by 
the name of The Lord of hosts, 
that b dwelieth between the cheru- 
bim. 

3 And they 3 set the ark of God 
upon c a new cart, and brought it 
out of the house of Abinadab that 
was in 4 Gibeah : and Uzzah and 
Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave 
the new cart. 

4 And they brought it out of the 
house of Abinadab which was at 
Gibeah, 6 accompanying the ark of 
God: and Ahio went before the ark. 

5 And David and all the house of 
Israel played before the Lord on 
all manner of instruments made of 
fir wood, even on harps, and on 
psalteries, and on timbrels, and on 
cornets, and on cymbals. 

6 Ana when they came to 6 Na- 
chon's threshing-floor, Uzzah d put 
forth his hand to the ark of God, 
and took hold of it; for the oxen 
7 shook it. 

7 And the anger of the Lord was 
kindled against Uzzah; and e God 
smote him there for his 8 error; 
and there he died by the ark of 
God.- 

8 And David was displeased, be- 
cause the Lord had 9 made a 
breach upon Uzzah; and he called 
the name of the place 10 Perez-uzzah 
to this day. 

9 And /David was afraid of the 
Lord that day, and said, How shall 
the ark of the Lord come to me? 

10 So David would not remove 
the ark of the Lord unto him into 
the city of David; but David 
carried it aside into the house of 
Obed-edom the Gittite. 



The ark brought to Zion. 



2 SAMUEL, VII. 



God's covenant with David 



1 



11 And the ark of the Lord con- 
tinued in the house of Ohed-edom 
the Gittite three months: and the 
Lord 9 blessed Obed-edom, and all 
his household. 

12 % And it was told king David, 
saying, The Lord hath blessed the 
house of Obed-edom, and all that 
pertaineth unto him, because of the 
ark of God. So David went and 
brought up the ark of God from 
the house of Obed-edom into the 
city of David with gladness. 

13 And it was so, that, when a they 
that bare the ark of the Lord had 
gone six paces, he sacrificed * oxen 
and fatlings. 

14 And David i danced before the 
Lord with all his might; and 
David was girded with *a linen 
ephod. 

15 So David and all the house of 
Israel brought up the ark of the 
Lord with shouting, and with the 
sound of the trumpet 

16 And as the ark of the Lord 
came into the city of David, Michal, 
Saul's daughter, looked through 
a window, and saw king David 
leaping and dancing before the 
Lord; and she despised him in her 
heart. . 

17 f And they brought in the ark 
of the Lord, and set it in l his 
place, in the midst of the taber- 
nacle that David had "pitched 
for it: and David '"offered burnt 
offerings and peace offerings before 
the Lord. 

18 And as soon as David had 
made an end of offering burnt 
offerings and peace offerings, he 
blessed the people in the name of 
the Lord of hosts. 

19 And he dealt among all the 
people, even among the whole mul- 
titude of Israel, as well to the wo- 
men as men, to every one a cake 
of bread, and a good piece of flesh, 
and a flagon of wine. So all the 
people departed every one to his 
house. 

20 f Then n David returned to 
bless his household. And Michal 
the daughter of Saul came out to 
meet David, and said, ° How glo- 
rious was the king of Israel to-day, 
who p uncovered himself to-day in 
the eyes of the handmaids of his 
servants, as one of the q vain fellows 
12 shamelessly uncovereth himself! 

21 And David said unto Michal, 
It was before the Lord, which chose 
me r before thy father, and before 
oii his house, to appoint me ruler

prayer and thanksgiving. 

AN D it came to pass, a when the 
king sat in his house, and the 
Lord had given him rest round 
about from all his enemies, 

2 That the king said unto Na- 
than the prophet, See now, I dwell 
in 6 an house of cedar, but the ark 
of God dwelleth c within curtains. 

3 And Nathan said to the king, 
Go, do all that is d in thine heart; 
for the Lord is with thee. 

4 % And it came to pass that 
night, that the word of the Lord 
came unto Nathan, saying, 

5 Go and tell x my servant David, 
Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou 
build me an house for me to dwell 
in? 

6 Whereas I have not dwelt in 
any house since* the time that I 
brought up the children of Israel 
out of Egypt, even to this day, but 
have walked in a tent and in a 
tabernacle. 

7 In all the places wherein I /have 
walked with all the children of 
Israel spake I a word with 2 any of 
the tribes of Israel, whom I com- 
manded 9 to feed my people Israel, 
saying, Why build ye not me an 
house of cedar? 

8 Now therefore so shalt thou say 
unto my servant David, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts, I took thee from 
the sheep-cote, 3 from following the 
sheep, to be ruler over my people, 
over Israel: 

9 And I was with thee whitherso- 
ever thou wentest, and have cut 
off all thine enemies * out of thy 
sight, and have made thee A a 
great name, like unto the name 
of the great men that are in the 
earth. 

1 Moreover I will appoint a place 
for my people Israel, and *will 
plant them, that they may dweli 
in a place of their own, and move

no more; neither shall the chil- 
dren of wickedness afflict them 
any more, as beforetime, 

11 And as since the time that I 
commanded judges to be over my 
people Israel, and have caused 
thee to rest from all thine enemies. 
Also the Lord telleth thee that he 
will make thee an house. 

12 And > when thy days he ful- 
filled, and thou k shalt sleep with 
thy fathers, l I will set up thy seed 
after thee, which shall proceed out 
of thy bowels, and I will establish 
his kingdom. 

13 He m shall build an house for 
my name; and I will Establish 
the throne of his kingdom for 
ever. 

14 I ° will be his father, and he 
shall be my son. If p he commit 
iniquity, I will chasten him with 
the rod of men, and with the 
stripes of the children of men: 

15 But my mercy shall not depart 
away from him, a as I took it from 
Saul, whom I put away before 
thee. 

16 And T thine house and thy 
kingdom shall be established for 
ever before thee: thy throne shall 
be established for ever. 

17 According to all these words, 
and according to all this vision, so 
did Nathan speak unto David. 

18 If Then went king David in, 
and sat before the Lord, and he 
said, "Who am I, Lord God? and 
what is my house, that thou hast 
brought me hitherto? 

19 And this was yet a small thing 
in thy sight, Lord God; but thou 
hast spoken also of thy servant's 
house for a great while to come. 
And * is this the 5 manner of man, 
Lord God? 

20 And what can David say more 
unto thee? for thou, Lord God, 
knowest M thy servant 

21 For thy " word's sake, and ac- 
cording to thine own heart, hast 
thou done all these great things, to 
make thy servant know them. 

22 Wherefore w thou art great, 
Lord God: for "there is none like 
thee, neither is there any God be- 
sides thee, according to all that we 
have heard with our ears. 

23 And y what one nation in the 
earth is like thy people, even like

CHAPTER YTIL 
1 David subdues the Philistines, and 
makes the Moabites tributary; 8 }*s 
smites Hadadezer and the Syrians: 15 
his reign. 

AN D "after this it came to pass, 
that David smote the Philis- 
tines, and subdued them: and 
David took l Metheg-ammah out of 
the hand of the Philistines. 

2 And b he smote Moab, and 
measured them with a line, cast- 
ing them down to the ground; 
even with two lines measured he 
to put to death, and with one full 
line to keep alive: and so the 
Moabites became David's servants, 
and c brought gifts. 

3 f David smote also Hadadezer, 
the son of Eehob, king of ri Zobah, 
as he went to recover 6 his border 
at the river Euphrates. 

4 And David took 2 from him a 
thousand chariots, and seven hun- 
dred horsemen, and twenty thou- 
sand footmen: and David houghed 
all the chariot horses, but reserved 
of them for an hundred chariots. 

5 And when the Syrians of Da- 
mascus came to succour Hadad- 
ezer king of Zobah, David slew oi

the Syrians two and twenty thou- 
sand men. 

6 Then David put garrisons in 
Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians 
became servants to David, and 
brought gifts. And the Lord 
preserved David whithersoever he 
went. 

7 And David took the shields of 
gold that were on the servants of 
Hadadezer, and brought them to 
Jerusalem. 

8 And from 3 Betah, and from 
4 Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, 
king David took exceeding much 

9 f When Toi king of Hamath 
heard that David had smitten all 
the host of Hadadezer, 

10 Then Toi sent Joram his son 
unto king David, to 5 salute him, 
and to bless him, because he had 
fought against Hadadezer, and 
smitten him: for Hadadezer 6 had 
wars withToi. And Joram 7 brought 
with him vessels of silver, and 
vessels of gold, and vessels of 
brass: 

11 Which also king David /did 
dedicate imto the Lord, with the 
silver and gold that he had dedi- 
cated of all nations which he sub- 
dued; 

12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of 
the children of Ammon, and of 
the Philistines, and of Amalek, 
and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son 
of Rehob, king of Zobah. 

13 And David gat him a name 
when he returned from 8 smiting 
of the Syrians in the 9 valley of 
Salt, 9 being eighteen thousand 
men. 

14 \ And he put garrisons in 
Edom; throughout all Edom put 
he garrisons : and h all they of 
Edom became David's servants. 
And the Lord * preserved David 
whithersoever he went. 

15 And David reigned over all 
Israel; and David executed judg- 
ment and justice unto all his 
people. 

16 And i Joab the son of Zeruiah 
was over the host; and * Jehosha- 
phat the son of Ahilud was 10 re-

CHAPTER IX. 

1 David sends for Mephibosheth, 7 enter- 
tains him at }tis table, 9 and restores him 
all tJmt was Saul's. 

AND David said, Is there yet 
any that is left of the house of 
Saul, that I may show "him kind- 
ness for Jonathan's sake? 

2 And there was of the house of 
Saul a servant, whose name b was 
Ziba: and when they had called 
him unto David, the king said 
unto him, Art thou Ziba? And 
he said, Thy servant is he. 

3 And the king said, Is there not 
yet any of the house of Saul, that I 
may show e the kindness of God 
unto him? And Ziba said unto 
the king, Jonathan hath yet a 
son, which is d lame on his feet. 

4 And the king said unto him, 
Where is he ? And Ziba said unto 
the king, Behold, he is in the 
house of e Machir, the son of Am- 
miel, in Lo-debar. 

5 Then king David sent, and 
fetched him out of the house of 
Machir, the son of AmmieL from 
Lo-debar. 

6 Now when l Mephibosheth, the 
son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, 
was come unto David, he fell on 
his face, and did reverence. And 
David said, Mephibosheth. And 
he answered, Behold thy ser- 
vant! 

7 ^ And David said unto him, 
Fear / not : for I will surely 
show thee kindness for Jonathan 
thy father's sake, and will restore 
thee all the land of Saul thy fa- 
ther; and thou shalt g eat bread at 
my table continually. 

8 And he bowed himself, and 
said, What is thy servant, that 
thou shouldest look upon such h a 
dead dog as I am? 

9 % Then the king called to Ziba, 
Saul's servant, and said unto him, 
I * have given unto thy master's 
son all that pertained to Saul and 
to all his house. 

10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, 
and thy servants, shall till the 
land for him, and thou shalt bring 
in the fruits, that thy master's son 
may have food to eat: but Mephi- 
bosheth thy master's son shall eat 
bread alway at my table. Now 
Ziba i had fifteen sons and twenty 
servants. 

11 Then said Ziba unto the king, 
According k to all that my lord the 
king hath commanded his servant, 
so shall thy servant do. As for 



David sends messengers to Hanun. 2 SAMUEL, X. 



Joab defeats the Ammonites. 



Mephibosheth, said the king, he 
shall eat at my table, as one of the 
king's sons. 

12 And Mephibosheth had a 
young son, whose l name was Mi- 
cah. And all that dwelt in the 
house of Ziba were servants unto 
Mephibosheth. 

13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in 
Jerusalem; for he did m eat continu- 
ally at the king's table; and was 
lame on both his feet. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 David's messengers sent to comfort Ha- 
nun are disgracefully treated. 6 The 
Ammonites overcome. 15 The Syrians 
defeated. 

AND it came to pass after this, 
that the king a of the children 
of Ammon died, and Hanun his 
son reigned in his stead. 

2 Then said David, I will show 
kindness unto Hanun the son of 
Nahash, as his father showed 
kindness unto me. And David 
sent to comfort him by the hand 
of his servants for his father. And 
David's servants came into the 
land of the children of Ammon. 

3 And the princes of the children of 
Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, 
iThinkest thou that David doth 
honour thy father, that he hath 
sent comforters unto thee ? hath 
not David rather sent his servants 
unto thee, to search the city, and 
to spy it out, and to overthrow it? 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's 
servants, and shaved off the one 

i half of their beards, and cut off 
I their garments in the middle, even 
I to 6 their buttocks, and sent them 
! away. 

| 5 When they told it unto David, 
he sent to meet them, because the 
men were greatly ashamed: and 
the king said, Tarry at 2 Jericho 
until your beards be grown, and 
then return. 

6 % And when the children of 
Ammon saw that they c stank be- 
fore David, the children of Am- 
mon sent and hired d the Syrians 
of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of 
Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, 
and of king Maacah a thousand 
men, and of 3 Ish-tob twelve thou- 
sand men. 

7 And when David heard of it, 
he sent Joab, and all the host of 

i the e mighty men. 

8 And the children of Ammon 
, came out, and put the battle in 
; array at the entering in of the

gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and 
of Eehob, and Ish-tob, and Ma- 
acah, were by themselves in the 
field. 

9 When Joab saw that the front 
of the battle was against him be- 
fore and behind, he chose of all 
the choice men of Israel, and put 
them in array against the Syrians: 

10 And the rest of the people he 
delivered into the hand of Abishai 
his brother, that he might put them 
in array against the children of i 
Ammon. 

11 And he said, If the Syrians be 
too strong for me, then thou shalt 
help me; but if the children of 
Ammon be too strong for thee, 
then I will come and help thee. 

12 Be ■''of good courage, and let 
us 9 play the men for our people, 
and for the cities of our God: and 
the h Lord do that which seemeth 
him good. 

13 And Joab drew nigh, and the 
people that were with him, unto 
the battle against the Syrians: and 
they fled before him. 

14 And when the children of 
Ammon saw that the Syrians 
were fled, then fled they also be- 
fore Abishai, and entered into the 
city. So Joab returned from the 
children of Ammon, and came to 
Jerusalem. 

15 \ And when the Syrians saw 
that they were smitten before 
Israel, they gathered themselves 
together. 

16 And Hadarezer sent, and 
brought out the Syrians that were 
beyond the * river: and they came 
to Helam; and 5 Shobach the cap- 
tain of the host of Hadarezer went 
before them. 

17 And when it was told David, 
he gathered all Israel together, 
and passed over Jordan, and 
came to Helam. And the Syrians 
set themselves in array against 
David, and fought with him. 

18 And the Syrians fled before 
Israel; and David slew the men of 
seven hundred chariots of the 
Syrians, and forty thousand 6 horse- 
men, and smote Shobach the 
captain of their host, who died 
there. 

19 And when all the kings that 
were * servants to Hadarezer saw 
that they were smitten before 
Israel, they made peace with 
Israel, and served them. So the 
Syrians feared to help the children 
of Ammon any more.

CHAPTEK XL 

1 Joab besieges Rabbah. 2 David com-

is slain. 26 David takes Bath-sheba to 
wife. 

AND it came to pass, 1 after the 
year was expired, at the time 
when kings go forth to battle, that 
David a sent Joab, and his servants 
with him, and all Israel; and they 
destroyed the children of Ammon, 
and besieged Rabbah. But David 
tarried still at Jerusalem. 

2 ^[ And it came to pass in an 
evening-tide, that David arose 
from off his bed, 6 and walked 
upon the roof of the king's house: 
and from the roof he c saw a 
woman washing herself; and the 
woman was very beautiful to look 
upon. 

3 And David sent and enquired 
after the woman. And one said, 
Is not this 2 Bath-sheba, the 
daughter of 3 Eliam, the wife d of 
Uriah the Hittite? 

4 And David sent messengers, 
and took her: and she came in 
unto him, and e he lay with her; 

4 for she was / purified from her 
uncleanness: and she returned 
unto her house. 

5 And the woman conceived, 
and sent and told David, and 
said, 9 lam with child. 

6 And David sent to Joab, say- 
ing, Send me Uriah the Hittite. 
And Joab sent Uriah to David. 

7 And when Uriah was come 
unto him, David demanded of him 

5 how Joab did, and how the 
people did, and how the war 
prospered. 

8 And David said to Uriah, h Go 
down to thy house, and * wash thy 
feet And Uriah departed out of 
the king's house, and there 6 fol- 
lowed him a mess of meat from 
the king. 

9 But a Uriah slept at the door of 
the king's house with all the ser- 
vants of his lord, and went not 
down to his house. 

10 And when they had told 
David, saying, Uriah went not 
down unto his house, David said 
unto Uriah, Camest thou not 
from thy journey? why then didst 
thou not go down unto thine 
house? 

11 And Uriah said unto David,

I then go into mine house, to eat 
and to drink, and to he with my 
wife? As thou livest, and cls thy 
soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 

12 And David said to Uriah, 
n Tarry here to-day also, and to- 
morrow I will let thee depart. So 
Uriah abode in Jerusalem that 
day and the morrow. 

13 And when David had called 
him, he did eat and drink before 
him; and ° he made him drunk: 
and at even he went Out to Me on 
his bed with the servants of his 
lord, but went not down to his 
house. 

14 ^ And it came to pass in the 
morning, that David p wrote a 
letter to Joab, and sent it by the 
hand of Uriah. 

15 And he wrote in the letter, 
saying, Set ye Uriah in the fore 
front of the 7 hottest battle, and 
retire ye 8 from him, that he may 
be q smitten, and die. 

16 And it came to pass, when 
Joab observed the city, that he 
assigned Uriah unto a place where 
he knew that valiant men were. 

17 And the men of the city went 
out and fought with Joab: and 
there fell some of the people of the 
servants of David; and Uriah the 
Hittite died also. 

18 1[ Then Joab sent and told 
David all the things concerning 
the war; 

19 And charged the messenger, 
saying, When thou hast made an 
end of telling the matters of the 
war unto the king, 

20 And if so be that the king's 
wrath arise, and he say unto thee, 
Wherefore approached ye so nigh 
unto the city when ye did fight? 
knew ye not that they would 
shoot from the wall? 

21 Who smote r Abimelech the 
son of 6 Jerubbesheth? did not a 
woman cast a piece of a millstone 
upon him from the wall, that he 
died in Thebez? why went ye nigh 
the wall? then say thou, Thy 
servant Uriah the Hittite is dead 
also. 

22 % So the messenger went, and 
came and showed David all that 
Joab had sent him for. 

23 And the messenger said unto 
David, Surely the men prevailed 
against us, and came out unto us 
into the field, and we were upon 
them even unto the entering of 
the gate. 

24 And the shooters shot from off

the wall upon thy servants; and 
some of the king's servants be dead, 
and thy servant Uriah the Hittite 
is dead also. 

25 Then David said unto the 
messenger, Thus shalt thou say 
unto Joab, Let not this thing 
9 displease thee; for the sword de- 
voureth 10 one as well as another: 
make thy battle more strong 
against the city, and overthrow it; 
and encourage thou him. 

26 % And when the wife of Uriah 
heard that Uriah her husband 
was dead, she mourned for her 
husband. 

27 And when the mourning was 
past, David sent and fetched her 
to his house, and she ' became his 
wife, and bare him a son. But 
the thing that David had done 
11 displeased the Lord. 

CHAPTER XH. 

1 Nallian's parable; 7 he applies it to 
David, tcho confesses his sin, and is par- 
doned. 24 Solomon is born. 26 Rabbah 
is taken. 

AND the Lord sent Nathan 
unto David. And a he came 
unto him, and l said unto him, 
There were two men in one city; 
the one rich, and the other poor. 

2 The rich man had exceeding 
many flocks and herds; 

3 But the poor man had nothing, 
gave one little ewe lamb, which 
he had bought and nourished up; 
and it grew up together with him, 
and with his children; it did eat 
of his own x meat, and drank of 
his own cup, and lay in his bosom, 
and was unto him as a daughter. 

4 And there came a traveller 
unto the rich man; and he spared 
to take of his own flock, and of 
his own herd, to dress for the 
wayfaring man that was come 
unto him; but took the poor man's 
lamb, and dressed it for the man 
that was come to him. 

5 And David's anger was greatly 
kindled against the man; and he 
said to Nathan, As the Lord 
liveth, the man that hath done 
this thing 2 shall surely die: 

6 And he shall restore the c lamb 
fourfold, because he did this thing, 
and because he had no pity. 

7 % And Nathan said to David, 
Thou art the man. Thus saith 
the Lord God of Israel, d I anoint- 
ed thee king over Israel, and I 
delivered thee out of the hand of 
Saul;

house, and thy master's wives into 
thy bosom, and gave thee the 
house of Israel and of Judah; and 
if that had been too little, I would 
moreover have given unto thee 
such and such things. 

9 Wherefore e hast thou f despised 
the commandment of the Lord, 
to do evil in his sight? ^Thou 
hast killed Uriah the Hittite with 
the sword, and hast taken his 
wife to be thy wife, and hast slain 
him with the sword of the children 
of Ammon. 

10 Now therefore h the sword 
shall never depart from thine 
house; because thou hast despised 
me, and hast taken the wife of 
Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 

11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, 
I will raise up evil against thee 
out of thine own house, and I will 
take * thy wives before thine eyes, 
and give them unto thy neighbour, 
and he shall he with thy wives in 
the sight of this sun. 

12 For thou didst it secretly; 
but J I will do this thing before all 
Israel, and before the sun. 

13 And k David said unto Nathan, 
I l have sinned against the Lord. 
And Nathan said unto David, 
The Lord also hath put m away 
thy sin; thou shalt not die. 

14 Howbeit, because by this deed 
thou hast given great occasion to 
the enemies of the Lord n to blas- 
pheme, the child also that is born 
unto thee shall surely die. 

15 % And Nathan departed imto 
his house. And the Lord ° struck 
the child that Uriah's wife bare 
unto David, and it was very sick. 

16 David therefore p besought 
God for the child; and David 
3 fasted, and went in, and lay ff all 
night upon the earth. 

17 And the elders of Ins house 
arose, and went to him, to raise 
him up from the earth: but he 
would not, neither did he eat 
bread with them. 

18 And it came to pass on the 
seventh day, that the child died. 
And the servants of David feared 
to tell him that the child was 
dead: for they said, Behold, while 
the child was yet alive, we spake 
unto him, and he would not 
hearken unto our voice: how will 
he then * vex himself, if we tell 
him that the child is dead? 

19 But when David saw that his 
servants whispered, David per- 
ceived that tke child was dead: 



David takes Rabbah. 



2 SAMUEL, XIII. 



Amnon defiles Tamar. 



therefore David said unto his 
servants, Is the child dead? And 
they said, He is dead. 

20 Then David arose from the 
earth, and washed, and r anointed 
himself, and changed his apparel, 
and came into the house of the 
Lord, and s worshipped: then he 
came to his own house; and when 
he required, they set bread before 
him, and he did eat. 

21 Then said his servants unto 
him, What thing is this that thou 
hast done? Thou didst fast and 
weep for the child, while it was 
alive; but when the child was 
dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 

22 And he said, While the child 
was yet alive, I fasted and wept: 
for ' I said, Who can tell whether 
God will be gracious to me, that 
the child may live? 

23 But now he is dead, wherefore 
should I fast? can I bring him 
back again? M I shall go to him, 
but " he shall not return to me. 

24 If And David comforted Bath- 
sheba his wife, and went in unto 
her, and lay with her; and w she 
bare a son, and * he called his 
name 5 Solomon: and the Lord 
loved him. 

25 And he sent by the hand of 
Nathan the prophet; and he called 
his name 6 Jedidiah, because of 
the Lord. 

26 H And y Joab fought * against 
Babbah of the children of Ammon, 
and took the royal city. 

27 And Joab sent messengers to 
David, and said, I have fought 
against Babbah, and have taken 
7 the city of waters. 

28 Now therefore gather the rest 
of the people together, and encamp 
against the city, and take it: lest I 
take the city, and 8 it be called 
after my name. 

29 And David gathered all the 
people together, and went to 
Babbah, and fought against it, 
and took it. 

30 And a he took their king's 
crown from off his head, the weight

1 Amnon loves Tamar: 6 lie defiles her. 
28 Amnon is slain. 37 Absalom fiees to 
TalmaL 

AN D it came to pass after this, 
that "Absalom the son of 
David had a fair sister, whose 
name was b Tamar; and Amnon 
the son of David loved her. 

2 And Amnon was so vexed, 
that he fell sick for his sister 
Tamar; for she was a virgin: and 

1 Amnon thought it hard for him 
to do any thing to her. 

3 But Amnon had a friend, whose 
name was Jonadab, c the son of 
Shimeah, David's brother: and 
Jonadab was a very subtil man. 

4 And he said unto him, Why 
art thou, being the king's son, 

2 lean 3 from day to day? wilt thou 
not tell me? And Amnon said 
unto him, d I love Tamar, my 
brother Absalom's sister. 

5 And Jonadab said unto him, 
Lay thee down on thy bed, and 
make thyself sick: and when thy 
father cometh to see thee, say unto 
him, I pray thee, let my sister 
Tamar come and give me meat, 
and dress the meat in my sight, 
that I may see it, and eat it at her 
hand. 

6 So Amnon lay down, and made 
himself sick: and when the king 
was come to see him, Amnon said 
unto the king, I pray thee, let 
Tamar my sister come and e make 
me a couple of cakes in my sight, 
that I may eat at her hand. 

7 Then David sent home to 
Tamar, saying, Go now to thy 
brother Amnon's house, and dress 
him meat. 

8 So Tamar went to her brother 
Amnon's house; and he was laid 
down And she took 4 flour, and 
kneaded it, and made cakes in his 
sight, and did bake the cakes. 

9 And she took a pan, and poured 
them out before him: but he refused 
to eat. And Amnon said, /Have 
out all men from me. And they 
went out every man from him. 

10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, 
Bring the meat into the chamber, 
that I may eat of thine hand. 
And Tamar took the cakes which 
she had made, and brought them 
into the chamber to Amnon her 
brother.

2 SAMUEL, Xni. 



Absalom kills Amnon. 



11 And when she had brought 
them unto him to eat, he 9 took 
hold of her, and said unto her, 
Come he with me, my sister. 

12 And she answered him, Nay, 
my brother, do not 3 force me; for 

6 no such thing ought to be done 
in Israel: do not thou this h folly. 

13 And I, whither shall I cause 
my shame to go? and as for thee, 
thou shalt be as one of the fools in 
Israel. Now therefore, I pray 
thee, speak unto the king; for 
he *will not withhold me from 
thee. 

14 Howbeit he would not hearken 
unto her voice; but, being stronger 
than she, i forced her, and lay 
with her. 

15 \ Then Amnon hated her 

7 exceedingly; so that the hatred 
wherewith he hated her was 
greater than the love wherewith 
he had loved her. And Amnon 
said unto her, Arise, be gone. 

16 And she said unto him, There 
is no cause: this evil in sending 
me away is greater than the other 
that thou didst unto me. But he 
would not hearken unto her. 

17 Then he called his servant 
that ministered unto him, and 
said, Put now this woman out horn 
me, and bolt the door after her. 

18 And she had k a garment of 
divers colours upon her: for with 
such robes were the king's daugh- 
ters that were virgins apparelled. 
Then his servant brought her out, 
and bolted the door after her. 

19 ^[ And Tamar put l ashes on 
her head, and rent her garment of 
divers colours that was on her, 
and m laid her hand on her head, 
and went on crying. 

20 And Absalom her brother 
said unto her, Hath 8 Amnon thy 
brother been with thee? But hold 
now thy peace, my sister: he is thy 
brother; 9 regard not this thing. 
So Tamar remained 10 desolate in 
her brother Absalom's house. 

21 ^ But when king David heard 
of all these things, he was very 
wroth. 

22 And Absalom spake unto his 
brother Amnon neither good nor 
bad: for Absalom hated " Amnon, 
because he had forced his sister 
Tamar. 

23 % And it came to pass after 
two full years, ° that Absalom 
had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, 
which is beside p Ephraim: and 
Absalom invited all the king'ssons.

24 And Absalom came to the 
king, and said, Behold now, thy

the king, I beseech thee, and his 
servants, go with thy servant. 

25 And the king said to Absalom, 
Nay, my son, let us not all now 
go, lest we be chargeable unto 
thee. And he pressed him: how- 
beit he would not go, but blessed 
him. 

26 Then said Absalom, If not, I 
pray thee, let my brother Amnon 
go with us. And the king said 
unto him, Why should he go with 
thee? 

27 But Absalom pressed him, 
that he let Amnon and all the 
king's sons go with him. 

28 *i[ Now Absalom had com- 
manded his servants, saying, Mark 
ye now when Aran on' s 2 heart is 
merry with wine, and when I say 
unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill 
him, fear not: n have not I com- 
manded you? be courageous, and 
be 12 valiant 

29 And the servants of Absalom 
did unto Amnon as Absalom had 
commanded: then all the king's 
sons arose, and eveiy man 13 gat 
him up upon his nmle, and fled. 

30 ^f And it came to pass, while 
they were in the way, that tidings 
came to David, saying, Absalom 
hath slain all the king's sons, and 
there is not one of them left. 

31 Then the king arose, and 
tare r his garments, and * lay on 
the earth; and all his servants 
stood by with their clothes rent. 

32 And Jonadab, the son of 
Shimeah, David's brother, an- 
swered and said, Let not my lord 
suppose that they have slain all the 
young men the king's sons; for 
Amnon only is dead: for by the 
14 appointment of Absalom this 
hath been 15 determined from the 
day that he forced his sister 
Tamar. 

33 Now therefore ' let not my 
lord the king take the thing to 
his heart, to think that all the 
king's sons are dead: for Amnon 
only is dead. 

34 But Absalom fled. And the 
young man that kept the watch 
lifted up his eyes and looked, and, 
behold, there came much people 
by the way of the hill side behind 
him. 

35 And Jonadab said unto the 
king, Behold, the king's sons come: 
16 as thy servant said, so it is.

to bring Absalom home. 



36 And it came to pass, as soon 
as he had made an end of speak- 
ing, that, behold, the king's sons 
came, and lifted up their voice 
and wept: and the king also and 
all his servants wept 17 very sore. 

37 % But Absalom fled, and went 
to w Talmai, the son of 1S Ammi- 
hud, king of Geshur. And David 
mourned for his son every day. 

38 So Absalom fled, and went 
to " Geshur, and was there three 
years. 

39 And the soul of king David 
19 longed to go forth unto Absa- 
lom: for he was w comforted con- 
cerning Amnon, seeing he was 
dead. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

2 Joab instructs a widow of Tekoah 4 how 
to incline the king to bring home Absa- 
lom. 21 Joab sent to bring him to 
Jerusalem. 

NOW Joab the son of Zeruiah 
perceived that the king's 
heart was toward Absalom. 

2 And Joab sent to a Tekoah, 
and fetched thence a wise woman, 
and said unto her, I pray thee, 
feign thyself to be a mourner, and 
put b on now mourning apparel, 
and anoint not thyself with oil, 
but be as a woman that had a 
long time mourned for the dead; 

3 And come to the king, and 
speak on this manner unto hirn. 
So Joab c put the words in her 
mouth. 

4 f And when the woman of 
Tekoah spake to the king, d she 
fell on her face to the ground, and 
did obeisance, and said, 1 Help, 
king! 

5 And the king said unto her, 
What aileth thee? And she an- 
swered, e I am indeed a widow 
woman, and mine husband is 
dead. 

6 And thy handmaid had two 
sons, and they two strove together 
in the field, and there was ^none 
to part them, but the one smote 
the other, and slew him. 

7 And, behold, / the whole family 
is risen against thine handmaid, 
and they said, Deliver him that 
smote his brother, that we may 
kill him, for the life of his brother 
whom he slew; and we will destroy 
the heir also: and so they shall 
quench my coal which is left, and 
shall not leave to my husband 
neither name nor remainder 3 upon

woman, Go to thine house, and 
I will give charge concerning 
thee. 

9 And the woman of Tekoah said 
unto the king, My lord, king, 
the g iniquity be on me, and on 
my father's house; * and the king 
and his throne be guiltless. 

10 And the king said, Whosoever 
saith ought unto thee, bring him 
to me, and he shall not touch 
thee any more. 

11 Then said she, I pray thee, let 
the king remember the Lord thy 
God, 4 that thou wouldest not 
suffer * the revengers of blood to 
destroy any more, lest they destroy 
my son. And he said, i As the 
Lord liveth, there shall not one 
hair of thy son fall to the earth. 

12 Then the woman said, Let 
thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak 
one word unto my lord the king. 
And he said, Say on. 

13 And the woman said, Where- 
fore then hast thou thought such 
a thing against the k people of 
God? for the king doth speak this 
thing as one which is faulty, in 
that the king doth not fetch home 
again his l banished. 

14 For we m must needs die, and 
are as water spilt on the ground, 
which cannot be gathered up 
again: 6 neither doth God respect 
any person: yet doth he n devise 
means, that his banished be not 
expelled from him. 

• 15 Now therefore that I am come 
to speak of this thing unto my 
lord the king, it is because the 
people have made me afraid: and 
thy handmaid said, I will now 
speak unto the king; it may be 
that the king will perform the 
request of his handmaid. 

16 For the king will hear, to 
deliver his handmaid out of the 
hand of the man that would destroy 
me and my son together out of 
the inheritance of God. 

17 Then thine handmaid said, 
The word of my lord the king 
shall now be 6 comfortable: for ° as 
an angel of God, so is my lord the 
king, 7 to discern good and bad; 
therefore the Lord thy God will 
be with thee. 

18 Then the king answered and 
said unto the woman, Hide not 
from me, I pray thee, the thing 
that I shall ask thee. And the 
woman said, Let my lord the king 
now speak. 

19 And the king said, Is not the

And tbe woman answered and 
said, As tby soul livetb, my lord 
tbe king, none can turn to tbe 
rigbt band or to tbe left from 
ougbt tbat my lord, tbe king batb 
spoken: for tby servant Joab, be

20 To fetcb about tbis form of

tbis tbing: and my lord is wise, 
according p to tbe wisdom of an 
angel of God, to know all things 
tbat are in tbe eartb. 

21 % And tbe king said unto 
Joab, Bebold now, I bave done 
tbis tbing: go therefore, bring tbe 
young man Absalom again. 

22 And Joab fell to tbe ground 
on bis face, and bowed himself, 
and 8 thanked tbe king: and Joab 
said, To-day tby servant knoweth 
tbat I have found grace in tby 
sight, my lord, king, in that tbe 
king bath fulfilled tbe request of 
9 his servant. 

23 So Joab arose, s and went to 
Geshur, and brought Absalom to 
Jerusalem. 

24 And the king said, Let him 
turn to his own house, and let him 
not r see my face. So Absalom 
returned to bis own house, and 
saw not the king's face. 

25 % 10 But in all Israel there was 
none to be so much praised as 
Absalom for his beauty: * from the 
sole of bis foot even to tbe crown 
of bis bead there was no blemish 
in him. 

26 And when he polled his head, 
(for it was at every year's end that 
he polled itj because f the hair was 
heavy on him, therefore he poUed 
it:) be weighed the hair of his 
head at n two hundred shekels 
after the king's weight 

27 And u unto Absalom there 
were bom three sons, and one 
daughter, whose name was Tamar: 
she was a woman of a fair 
countenance. 

2S % So Absalom dwelt two full 
years in Jerusalem, and saw not 
the king's face. 

29 Therefore Absalom sent for 
Joab, to bave sent him to the 
king; but he would not come to 
him: and when he sent again the 
second time, he would not come. 

30 Therefore he said unto his

31 Then Joab arose, and came to 
Absalom unto his bouse, and said 
unto him, Wherefore have tby 
servants set my field on fire? 

32 And Absalom answered Joab, 
Bebold, I sent unto thee, saying, 
Come hither, that I may send thee 
to the king, to say, Wherefore am 
I come from Geshur? it had been 
good for me to have been there still: 
now therefore let me see the king's 
face; and if w there be any iniquity

tbe king, and bowed hims elf on

CHAPTER XV. 

1 Absalom steals the hearts of Israel: 10 

he forms a conspiracy. 13 David flees 

from Jerusalem. 29 ITie ark sent back. 

AN D a it came to pass after this, 
tbat Absalom b prepared him 
chariots and horses, and fifty men 
to run before him. 

2 And Absalom c rose up early, 
and stood beside the way of the 
gate: and it was so, that when 
any man tbat bad a controversy 
1 came to the king for judgment, 
then Absalom called unto him, 
and said, Of wbat city art thou? 
And he said, Tby servant is of 
one of the tribes of Israel. 

3 And Absalom said unto him, 
See, d tby matters are good and 
right; but 2 there is no man deputed 
of the king to hear thee. 

4 Absalom said moreover, 6 Oh 
that I were made judge in the 
land, that every man which hath 
any suit or cause might come unto 
me, and I would do him justice! 

5 And it was so, that when any 
man came nigh to him to do him 
obeisance, he put forth his hand, 
and f took him, and kissed him. 

6 And on this manner did Absa- 
lom to all Israel that came to the 
king for judgment: so 9 Absalom 
stole tbe hearts of the men of 
IsraeL 

7 % And it came to pass after 
3 forty years, that Absalom said 
unto the king, I pray thee, let me 
go and pay my vow, which I have 
vowed unto the Lobd, in h Hebron. 

8 For » thy servant-' vowed a vow

again indeed to Jerusalem, then I 
will serve the Lord. 

9 And the king said unto him, 
Go in peace. So he arose, and 
went to Hebron. 

10 f But Absalom sent spies 
throughout all the tribes of Israel, 
saying, As soon as ye hear the 
sound of the trumpet, then ye 
shall say, Absalom reigneth in 
Hebron. 

11 And with Absalom went two 
hundred men out of Jerusalem, 
thai were l called; and they went 
m in their simplicity, and they 
knew not any thing. 

12 And Absalom sent for Ahitho- 
phel the Gilonite, n David's coun- 
sellor, from his city, even "from 
Giloh, while he offered sacrifices: 
and the conspiracy was strong; 
for the people p increased continu- 
ally with Absalom. 

13 f And there came a messenger 
to David, saying, s The hearts of 
the men of Israel are after 
Absalom. 

14 And David said unto all his 
servants that were with him at 
Jerusalem, Arise, and let us r flee; 
for we shall not else escape from 
Absalom: make speed to depart, 
lest he overtake us suddenly, and 
4 bring evil upon us, and smite 
the city with the edge of the 
sword. 

15 And the king's servants said 
unto the king, Behold, thy ser- 
vants are ready tu do whatsoever 
my lord the king shall 5 appoint.

21 And Ittai answered the king, 
and said, As x the Lord liveth, and 
as my lord the king liveth, surely 
in what place my lord the king 
shall be, whether in death or life, 
even there also will thy servant 
be. 

22 And David said to Ittai, Go 
and pass over. And Ittai the 
Gittite passed over, and all his 
men, and all the little ones that 
were with him. 

23 And all the country wept with 
a loud voice, and all the people 
passed over: the king also himself 
passed over the y brook Kidron, 
and all the people passed over, 
toward the way of the z wilderness. 

24 \ And lo Zadok also, and all 
the Levites were with him, a bear- 
ing the ark of the covenant of 
God: and they set down the ark 
of God; and Abiathar went up, 
until all the people had done 
passing out of the city. 

25 And the king said unto Zadok, 
Carry back the ark of God into the 
city: if I shall find favour in the 
eyes of the Lord, he h will bring 
me again, and show me both it and 
his "habitation: 

26 But if he thus say, I have no 
delight d in thee; behold, here am 
I, 6 let him do to me as seemeth 
good unto him. 

27 The king said also unto Zadok 
the priest, Art not thou a /seer? 
return into 9 the city in peace, and 
your two sons with you, Ahimaaz 
thy son, and Jonathan the son of 
Abiathar. 

28 See, I will tarry in the plain 
of the wilderness, until there come 
word from you to certify me. 

29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar 
carried the ark of God again to 
Jerusalem; and they tarried there. 

30 1 And David went up by the 
ascent of mount h Olivet, 8 and wept 
as he went up, and * had his head 
covered; and he i went barefoot: 
and all the people that was with 
him k covered every man his head, 
and they went up, * weeping as 
they went up. 

31 And one told David, saying, 
Ahithophel m is among the con- 
spirators with Absalom. And 
David said, O Lord, I pray thee, 
turn n the counsel of Ahithophel 
into foolishness. 

32 ^f And it came to pass, that 
when David was come to the top

of the mount, where he worshipped 
God, behold, Hushai ° the Archite 
came to meet him p with his coat 
rent, and earth upon his head; 

33 Unto whom David said, If 
thou passest on with me, then 
thou shalt he q a burden unto me: 

34 But if thou return to the city, 
and say unto Absalom, I will be 
thy servant, king; as I have been 
thy father's servant hitherto, so 
will I now also be thy servant: then 
mayest thou for me defeat the 
counsel of Ahithophel. 

35 And hast thou not there with 
thee Zadok and Abiathar the 
priests? therefore it shall be, that 
what thing soever thou shalt hear 
out of the king's house, thou shalt 
tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the 
priests. 

36 Behold, they have there with 
them their two sons, Ahimaaz, 
Zadok' s son, and Jonathan, Abia- 
thar's son; and by them ye shall 
send unto me every thing that ye 
can hear. 

37 So Hushai, r David's friend, 
came into the city, and Absalom 
came 8 into Jerusalem.

AND" when David was a little 
past the top of the hill, behold, 
Ziba 6 the servant of Mephibosheth 
met him, with a couple of asses 
saddled, and upon them two hun- 
dred loaves of bread, and an hun- 
dred bunches of raisins, and an 
hundred of summer fruits, and a 
bottle of wine. 

2 And the king said unto Ziba, 
What meanest thou by these? 
And Ziba said, The asses be for the 
king's household c to ride on; and 
the bread and summer fruit for 
the d young men to eat; and the 
wine, that e such as be faint in the 
wilderness may drink. 

3 And the king said, And where 
is thy master's son? /And Ziba 
said unto the king, Behold, he 
abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, 
To-day shall the house of Israel 
restore me the kingdom of my 
father. 

4 Then » said the king to Ziba, 
Behold, thine are all that pertained 
unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba 
said, ? I humbly beseech thee that 
I may find grace in thy sight, my 
lord, king.

to Bahurim, behold, thence came 
out a man of the family of the 
house of Saul, whose name ft was 
Shiniei, the son of Gera: 2 he came 
forth, and cursed still as he came. 

6 And he cast stones at David, 
and at all the servants of king 
David: and all the people and all 
the mighty men were on his right 
hand and on his left. 

7 And thus said Sliimei when he 
cursed, Come out, come out, thou 
3 bloody man, and thou man of 
Belial: 

8 The Lord hath * returned upon 
thee all i the blood of the house of 
Saul, in whose stead thou hast 
reigned; and the Lord hath de- 
livered the kingdom into the hand 
of Absalom thy son: and, 4 behold, 
thou art taken in thy mischief, 
because thou art a bloody man. 

9 If Then said Abishai the son 
of Zeruiah unto the king, Why 
should this dead dog curse k my 
lord the king? let me go over, I 
pray thee, and take off his head. 

10 And the king said, l What 
have I to do with you, ye sons of 
Zeruiah? so let Mm curse, because 
the m Lord hath said unto him, 
Curse David. n Who shall then 
say, Wherefore hast thou done so? 

11 And David said to Abishai, 
and to all his servants, Behold, 
my son, which came forth of my 
bowels, seeketh my life: how much 
more now may this Benjamite do 
it? Let him alone, and let him 
curse; for the Lord hath bidden 
him. 

12 It may be that the Lord will 
look on mine 5 affliction, and that 
the Lord will requite me "good 
for his cursingthis day. 

13 And as David and his men 
went by the way, Shimei went 
along on the hill's side over 
against him, and cursed as he 
went, and threw stones at him, 
and 6 cast dust. 

14 And the king, and all the 
people that were with him, came 
weary, and refreshed themselves 
there. 

15 ^ And Absalom, and all the 
people the men of Israel, came to 
Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with 
him. 

16 And it came to pass, when 
Hushai the Archite, David's friend, 
was come unto Absalom, that 
Hushai said unto Absalom, 7 God 
save the king, God save the king. 
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, 



AMthopheVs counsel

overthrown by Hushed 's. 



Is this thy kindness to thy friend? 
why p wentest thou not with thy 
friend? 

18 And Husbai said unto Absa- 
lom, Nay; but whom the Lord, 
and this people, and all the men of 
Israel, choose, his will I he, and 
with him will I abide. 

19 And again, 2 whom should I 
serve? should I not serve in the 
presence of his son? As I have 
served in thy father's presence, so 
will I be in thy presence. 

20 % Then said Absalom to 
Ahithophel, Give r counsel among 
you what we shall do. 

21 And Ahithophel said unto 
Absalom, Go in unto thy s father's 
concubines, which he hath left to 
keep the house; and all Israel shall 
hear that thou 'art abhorred of 
thy father: then shall u the hands 
of all that are with thee be strong. 

22 So they spread Absalom a tent 
upon the top of the house; and 
Absalom went in unto his father's 
concubines " in the sight of all 
Israel. 

23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, 
which he counselled in those days, 
was as if a man had enquired at 
the 8 oracle of God: so was all the 
counsel of Ahithophel v both with 
David and with Absalom. 

CHAPTER XVII. 
1 AMthopheVs counsel overthrown by 
Husliavs. 15 Secret intelligence sent to 
David. 23 Ahithophel hangs himself. 

MOREOVER Ahithophel said 
unto Absalom, Let me now 
choose out twelve thousand men, 
and I will arise and pursue after 
David this night: 

2 And I will come upon him 
while he is ° weary and weak- 
handed, and will make him afraid: 
and all the people that are with 
him shall flee; and I will b smite 
the king only: 

3 And I will bring back all the 
people unto thee; the man whom 
thou seekest is as if all returned: so 
all the people shall be in c peace. 

4 And the saying * pleased Ab- 
salom well, and all the elders of 
Israel. 

5 Then said Absalom, Call now 
Hushai the Archite also, and let 
us hear likewise 2 what he saith. 

6 And when Hushai was come to 
Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, 
saying, Ahithophel hath spoken 
after this manner: shall we do 
after his s saying? if not, speak 
thou.

7 And Hushai said unto Absa- 
lom, The counsel that Ahithophel 
hath 4 given is not good at this 
time. 

8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest 
thy father and his men, that they 
be mighty men, and they be 5 chafed 
in their minds, as d a bear robbed 
of her whelps in the field: and thy 
father is a man of war, and will 
not lodge with the people. 

9 Behold, he is hid now in some 
pit, or in some other place: and it 
will come to pass, when some of 
them be 6 overthrown at the first, 
that whosoever heareth it will say, 
There is a slaughter among the 
people that follow Absalom. 

10 And he also that is 7 valiant, 
whose heart is as the heart of a 
lion, shall utterly melt: for all 
Israel knoweth that thy father is 
a mighty man, and they which be 
with him are valiant men. 

11 Therefore I counsel that all 
Israel be generally gathered unto 
thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, 
as the * sand that is by the sea for 
multitude; and 8 that thou go to 
battle in thine own person. 

12 So shall we come upon him in 
some place where he shall be found, 
and we will light upon him as the 
dew falleth on the ground: and of 
him and of all the men that are 
with him there shall not be left so 
much as one. 

13 Moreover if he be gotten into 
a city, then shall all Israel bring 
ropes to that city, and we will 
draw it into the river, until there 
be not one small stone found 
there. 

14 And Absalom and all the men 
of Israel said, The counsel of 
Hushai the Archite is better than 
the counsel of Ahithophel. For 
the /Lord had 9 appointed to de- 
feat the good counsel of Ahitho- 
phel, to the intent that the Lord 
might bring evil upon Absalom. 

15 If Then said Hushai unto 
Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, 
Thus and thus did Ahithophel 
counsel Absalom and the elders of 
Israel; and thus and thus have I 
counselled. 

16 N'ow therefore send quickly, 
and tell David, saying, Lodge not 
this night in the plains of the 
wilderness, but speedily pass over; 
lest the king be swallowed up, and 
all the people that are with him. 

17 Now ^ Jonathan and Ahimaaz

might not be seen to come into 
the city: and a wench went and 
told them; and they went and 
told king David. 

18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, 
and told Absalom : but they went 
both of them away quickly, and 
came to a man's house in » Bahu- 
rim, which had a well in his court; 
whither they went down. 

19 And *the woman took and 
spread a covering over the well's 
mouth, and spread ground corn 
thereon; and the thing was not 
known. 

20 And when Absalom's ser- 
vants came to the woman to the 
house, they said, Where is Ahi- 
maaz and Jonathan? And *the 
woman said unto them, They be 
gone over the brook of water. 
And when they had sought and 
could not find them, they returned 
to Jerusalem. 

21 And it came to pass, after they 
were depaited, that they came up 
out of the well, and went and 
told king David, and said unto 
David, Arise, and pass quickly 
over the water: for thus hath 
Ahithophel counselled against you. 

22 Then David arose, and all the 
people that herewith him, and they 
passed over Jordan: by the morn- 
ing light there lacked not one of 
them that was not gone over Jor- 
dan. 

23 % And when Ahithophel saw 
that his counsel was not 10 followed, 
he saddled his ass, and arose, and 
gat him home to his house, to 
his m city, and u put his household 
in order, and n hanged himself, 
and died, and was buried in the 
sepulchre of his father. 

24 Then David came to ° Mahan- 
aim. And Absalom passed over 
Jordan, he and all the men of 
Israel with him. 

25 And Absalom made Amasa 
captain of the host instead of Joab: 
which Amasa was a man's son 
whose name was 12 Ithra, an Is- 
raelite, that went in to 13 Abigail 
the daughter of Nahash, sister to 
Zeruiah, Joab's mother. 

26 So Israel and Absalom pitched 
in the land of Gilead. 

27 If And it came to pass, when 
David was come to Mahanaim,

CHAPTEB XVni. 

1 David, vievjing the armies, 5 gives them 
charge of Absalom: 14 he is slain by 
Joab. 33 David mourns for him. 

AND David numbered the peo- 
ple that were with him, and 
set captains of thousands and cap- 
tains of hundreds over thern. 

2 And David sent forth a third 
part of the people under the hand 
of Joab, and a third part under 
the hand of Abishai the son of 
Zeruiah, Joab's brother, a and a 
third part under the hand of Ittai 
the Gittite. And the king said 
unto the people, I will surely go 
forth with you myself also. 

3 But b the people answered, 
Thou shaft not go forth: for if we 
flee away, they will not J care for 
us; neither if half of us die, will 
they care for us: but now thou art 

2 worth ten thousand of us: there* 
fore now it is better that thou 

3 succour us out of the city. 

4 And the king said unto them, 
What seemeth you best I will do. 
And the king stood by the gate 
side, and all the people came out 
by hundreds, and by thousands. 

5 And the king commanded 
Joab and Abishai and Ittai, say- 
ing, Deal gently for my sake with 
the young man, even with Absalom. 
And all the people heard when 
the king gave all the captains 
charge concerning Absalom. 

6 % So the people went out into 
the field against Israel : and the 
battle was in the wood c of Eph- 
raim; 

7 Where the people of Israel were 
slain before the servants of David: 
and there was there d a great 
slaughter that day of twenty thou- 
sand men. 

8 For the battle was there scat- 
tered over the face of all the coun- 
try: and the wood 4 devoured more 
people that day than the sword 
devoured.

rode upon a mule, and the mule 
went under the thick boughs of a 
great oak, and 6 his head caught 
hold of the oak, and he was taken 
up between the heaven and the 
earth; and the mule that was under 
him went away. 

10 And a certain man saw&, and 
told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw 
Absalom hanged in an oak. 

11 And Joab said unto the man 
that told him, And, behold, thou 
sawest him, and why didst thou 
not smite him there to the ground? 
and I would have given thee ten 
shekels of silver, and a girdle. 

12 And the man said unto Joab, 
Though I should 5 receive a thou- 
sand shekels of silver in mine hand, 
yet would I not put forth mine 
hand against the king's son : for 
in our hearing the king charged 
thee and Abishai and Ittai, say- 
ing, 6 Beware that none touch the 
young man Absalom. 

13 Otherwise I should have 
wrought falsehood against mine 
own life: for there is no matter 
hid from the king, and thou thy- 
self wouldest have set thyself 
against me. 

14 Then said Joab, I may not 
tarry thus 7 with thee. And he 
took three darts in his hand, and 
thrust them through the heart of 
Absalom, while he was yet alive in 
the 8 midst of the oak. 

15 And ten young men that bare 
Joab's armour compassed about 
and smote Absalom, and slew him. 

16 And Joab blew the trumpet, 
and the people returned from 
pursuing after Israel: for Joab held 
back the people. 

17 And they took Absalom, and 
cast him into a great pit in the 
wood, and /laid a veiy great heap 
of stones upon him: and all Israel 
fled every one to his tent. 

18 % Now Absalom in his life- 
time had taken and reared up for 
himself a pillar, which is in 9 the 
king's dale: for he said, h I have 
no son to keep my name in re- 
membrance: and he * called the 
pillar after his own name: and it 
is called unto this day, Absalom's 
place. 

19 if Then said i Ahimaaz the son 
of Zadok, Let me now run and 
bear the king tidings, how that 
the Lord hath 9 avenged him of 
bis enemies. 

20 And Joab said unto him,

shalt bear no tidings, because the 
king's son is dead. 

21 Then said Joab to n Cushi, Go 
tell the king what thou hast seen. 
And Cushi bowed himself unto 
Joab, and ran. 

22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of 
Zadok yet again to Joab, But 
^howsoever, let me, I pray thee, 
also run after Cushi. And Joab 
said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my 
son, seeing that thou hast no tid- 
ings 13 ready? 

23 But howsoever, said he, let me 
run. And he said unto him, Bun. 
Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of 
the plain, and overran Cushi. 

24 And David sat between k the 
two gates: and 'the watchman 
went up to the roof over the gate 
unto the wall, and lifted up his 
eyes, and looked, and behold a 
man running alone. 

25 And the watchman cried, and 
told the king. And the king said, 
If he be alone, there is tidings in his 
mouth. And he came apace, and 
drew near. 

26 And the watchman saw an- 
other man running: and the 
watchman called unto the porter, 
and said, Behold another man 
running alone. And the king 
said, He also bringeth tidings. 

21 And the watchman said, 
14 Me thinketh the running of the 
foremost is like the running of 
Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And 
the king said, '" He is a good man, 
and cometh with good tidings. 

28 And Ahimaaz called, and said 
unto the king, 15 All is well. And 
he fell down to the earth upon his 
face before the king, and said, 
Blessed be the Lord thy God, 
which hath 16 delivered up the 
men that lifted up their hand 
against my lord the king. 

29 And the king said, 17 Is tbe 
young man Absalom safe? And 
Ahimaaz answered, When Joab 
sent the king's servant, and me 
thy servant, I saw a great tumult, 
but I knew not what it was. 

30 And the king said unto him, 
Turn aside, and stand here. And 
he turned aside, and stood still. 

31 And, behold, Cushi came; and 
Cushi said, lb Tidings, my lord the 
king: for the Lord " hath avenged 
thee this day of all them that rose 
up against thee. 

32 And the king said unto Cushi, 



David mourns for Absalom.

Is the young man Absalom safe? 
And Cushi answered, The enemies 
of my lord the king, and all that 
rise against thee to do thee hurt, 
be as that young man is. 
33 % And the king was much mov- 
ed, and went up to the chamber 
over the gate, and wept; and as he 
went, thus he said, °0 my son 
Absalom, my son, my son Absa- 
lom! would God I had died for 
thee, Absalom, my son, my son!

AND it was told Joab, Behold, 
the king weepeth and mourn- 
eth for Absalom. 

2 And the x victory that day was 
turned into mourning unto all the 
people: for the people heard say 
that day how the king was griev- 
ed for his son. 

3 And the people gat them by 
stealth that day into the city, as 
people being ashamed steal away 
when. they flee in battle. 

4 But the king a covered his face, 
and the king cried with a loud 
voice, b my son Absalom, Ab- 
salom, my son, my son! 

5 And Joab came into the house 
to the king, and said, Thou hast 
shamed this day the faces of all 
thy servants, which this day have 
saved thy life, and the lives of thy 
sons and of thy daughters, and the 
lives of thy wives, and the lives of 
thy concubines; 

6 2 In that thou lovest thine 
enemies, and hatest thy friends: 
for thou hast declared this day, 
3 that thou regardest neither 
princes nor servants: for this day I 
perceive, that if Absalom had 
lived, and all we had died this 
day, then it had pleased thee welL 

7 Now therefore arise, go forth, 
and speak 4 comfortably unto thy 
servants: for I swear by the Lord, 
if thou go not forth, there c will 
not tarry one with thee this night: 
and that will be worse unto thee 
than all the evil that befell thee 
from thy youth until now. 

8 Then the king arose, and sat in 
the d gate. And they told unto 
all the people, saying, Behold, the 
king doth sit in the gate. And all

out of the hand of our enemies, 
and he delivered us out of the 
hand of the Philistines; and now 
he ff is fled out of the land for Ab- 
salom. 

10 And Absalom, whom we an- 
ointed over us, is dead in battle: 
now therefore why 5 speak ye not 
a word of bringing the king back? 

ll^f And kingDavid sent toZadok 
and to Abiathar the priests, say- 
ing, Speak unto the elders of Ju- 
dah, saying, Why are ye the last 
to bring the king back to his 
house? seeing the speech of all 
Israel is come to the king, even to 
his house. 

12 Ye are my brethren, ye' are 
my 7l bones and my flesh: where- 
fore then are ye the last to bring 
back the king? 

13 And 'say ye to Amasa, Art 
thou not of my bone, and of my 
flesh? i God do so to me, and more 
also, if thou be not captain of the 
host before me continually k in the 
room of Joab. 

14 And he bowed the heart of all 
the men of Judah, l even as the 
heart of one man; so that they sent 
this word unto the king, Beturn 
thou, and all thy servants. 

15 So the king returned, and 
came to Jordan. And Judah came 
to m Gilgal, to go to meet the king, 
to conduct the king over Jordan. 

16 1f And n Shimei the son of 
Gera, a Benjamite, which was of 
Bahurini, hasted and came down 
with the men of Judah to meet 
king David. 

17 And there were a thousand men 
of Benjamin with him, and ° Ziba, 
the servant of the house of Saul, 
and his fifteen sons and his twenty 
servants with him; and they went 
over Jordan before the king. 

18 And there went over a ferry 
boat to carry over the king's house- 
hold, and to do 6 what he thought 
good. And Shimei the son of 
Gera fell down before the king, as 
he was come over Jordan; 

19 And said unto the king, 
Let p not my lord impute iniquity 
unto me, neither do thou remem- 
ber q that which thy servant did 
perversely the day that my lord 
the king went out of Jerusalem, 
that the king should r take it to 
his heart. 

20 For thy servant doth know 
that I have sinned; therefore, be- 
hold, I am come the first this day 
of all s the house of Joseph to 



Shimei is pardoned.

go down to meet my lord the 
king. 

21 But Abiskai the son of Zeru- 
iah answered and said, Shall not 
Shimei be put to death for this, 
because he 'cursed the Lord's 
anointed? 

22 And David said, u What have 
I to do with you, ye sons of Zeru- 
iah, that ye should this day be 
adversaries unto me? * shall there 
any man be put to death this day 
in Israel? for do not I know that I 
am this day king over Israel? 

23 Therefore w the king said un- 
to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. 
And the king sware unto him. 

24 *H And x Mephibosheth the son 
of Saul came down to meet the 
king, and had neither dressed his 
feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor 
washed his clothes, from the day 
the king departed until the day he 
came again in peace. 

25 And it came to pass, when he 
was come to Jerusalem to meet 
the king, that the king said unto 
him, y Wherefore wentest not thou 
with me, Mephibosheth? 

26 And he answered, My lord, 
king, my servant deceived me: for 
thy servant said, I will saddle me 
an ass, that I may ride thereon, 
and go to the king; because thy 
servant is lame. 

27 And * he hath slandered thy 
servant unto my lord the king; 
but a my lord the king t* as an 
angel of God: do therefore what is 
good in thine eyes. 

28 For all of my father's house 
were but 7 dead men before my 
lord the king; l yet didst thou set 
thy servant among them that did 
eat at thine own table: what right 
therefore have I yet to cry any 
more unto the king? 

29 And the king said unto him, 
Why speakest thou any more of 
thy matters? I have said, c Thou 
and Ziba divide the land. 

30 And Mephibosheth said. unto 
the king, Yea, let him take all, 
forasmuch as my lord the king is 
come again in peace unto his own 
house. 

31 % And d Barzillai the Gileadite 
came down from Rogelim, and 
went over Jordan with the king, 
to conduct him over Jordan. 

32 Now Barzillai was a veiy aged 
man, even fourscore years old: and 
he e had provided the king of sus- 
tenance while he layat Mahanaim; 
for he was a very great man.

good and evil? can thy servant 
taste what I eat or what I drink? 
can I 9 hear any more the voice of 
singing men and singing women? 
wherefore then should thy servant 
be yet a burden unto my lord the 
king? 

36 Thy servant will go a little 
way over Jordan with the king: 
and why should the king recom- 
pense it me with such a reward? 

37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, 
turn back again, that I may die 
in mine own city, and be buried by 
the grave of my father and of my 
mother: but behold thy A servant 
Chimham; let him go over with 
my lord the king; and do to him 
what shall seem good unto 
thee. 

38 And the king answered, 
Chimham shall go over with me, 
and I will do to him that which 
shall seem good unto thee: and 
whatsoever thou shalt 9 require of 
me, that will I do for thee. 

39 And aU the people went over

come over, the king * kissed Bar- 
zillai, and i blessed him; and he 
returned unto his own place. 

40 Then the king went on to

with him: and all the people of 
Judah conducted the king, and 
also half the people of Israel. 

41 f And, behold, all the men of

unto the king, Why have our 
brethren the men of Judah stolen 
thee away, and have * brought the 
king and his household, and all 
David's men with him, over

42 And all the men of Judah 
answered the men of Israel, Be- 
cause the king is l near of kin to 
us: wherefore then be ye angry for 
this matter? have we eaten at all 
of the king's cost? or hath he given 
us any gift?

CHAPTER XX. 

1 Shtba makes a party in Israel. 10 
Amasa is slain. 14 Joab pursues Sheba 
unto Abel. 16 A tvise icoman saves the 
city by Sheba's head. 23 David's great 
officers. 

AND there a happened to be 
there a man of b Belial, whose 
name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, 
a Benjamite; and he blew a trum- 
pet, and said, c We have no part ( 
in David, neither have we inherit- ; 
ance in the son of Jesse: d every 
man to his tents, IsraeL 

2 So e eveiy man of Israel went 
up from after David, and followed 
Sheba the son of Bichri: but the 
men of Judah clave unto their 
king, from Jordan even to 
Jerusalem. 

3 ^ And David came to his 
house at Jerusalem; and the king 
took the ten women his f concu- 
bines, whom he had left to keep 
the house, and put them in l ward, 
and fed them, but went not in 
unto them. So they were 2 shut 
up unto the day of their death, 
3 living in widowhood. 

4 ^[ Then said the king to Amasa, 
* Assemble me the men of Judah 
within three days, and be thou 
here present. 

5 So Amasa went to assemble 
the men of Judah: but he tarried 
longer than the set time which he 
had appointed him. 

6 An David said to 9 Abishai, 
Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri 
do us more harm than did Absa- 
lom: take thou h thy lord's ser- 
vants, and pursue after him, lest 
he get him fenced cities, and 
5 escape us. 

7 And there went out after him 
Joab's men, and the » Cherethites, 
and the Pelethites, and all the 
mighty men: and they went out 
of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba 
the son of Bichri. 

8 When they were at the great 
stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa 
went before them. And Joab's 
garment that he had put on was 
girded unto him, and upon it a 
girdle with a sword fastened upon 
hjs loins in the sheath thereof; 
and as he went forth it fell 
out.

9 And Joab said to Amasa, Art

Joab took Amasa by the beard 
with the right hand to kiss him. 

10 But Amasa took no heed to 
the sword that was in Joab's hand: 
so k he smote hi™ therewith ' in 
the fifth rib, and shed out his 
bowels to the ground, and 6 struck

11 And one of Joab's men stood 
by him, and said, He that favour- 
eth Joab, and he that is for David, 
let him go after Joab. 

12 And Amasa wallowed in 
blood in the midst of the highway: 
and when the man saw that all 
the people stood still, he removed i 
Amasa out of the highway into j 
the field, and cast a cloth upon 
him, when he saw that every one 
that came by him stood still 

13 When he was removed out of 
the highway, all the people went 
on after Joab, to pursue after 
Sheba the son of Bichri. 

14 % And he went through all the 
tribes of Israel unto m AbeL and 
to Beth-maachah, and all the 
Berites: and they were gathered 
together, and went also after 
him. 

15 And they came and besieged 
him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and 
they " cast up a bank against the 
city, and 7 it stood in the trench: 
ana all the people that were with 
Joab 8 battered the wall, to throw 
it down. 

16 f Then cried a wise woman 
out of the city, Hear, hear! say, I 
pray you. unto Joab, Come near 
hither, that I may speak with 
thee. 

17 And when he was come near 
unto her, the woman said, Art 
thou Joab? And he answered, I 
am he. Then she said unto him, 
Hear the words of thine hand-

18 Then she spake, saying, D They 
were wont to speak in old time, 
saying, They shall surely ask 
counsel at Abel: and so they ended 
the matter. 

19 I am one of them that are peace- 
able and faithful in Israel: thou 
seekest to destroy a city and a 
10 mother in Israel: why wilt thou 
swallow up ° the inheritance of

Sheba beheaded. 



SAMUEL, XXI. 



Seven of Saul's sons hanged. 



20 And Joab answered and said, 
Far be it, far be it from me, that 
I should swallow up or destroy. 

21 The matter is not so: but a 
man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the 
son of Bichri n by name, hath 
lifted up his hand against the 
king, even against David: deliver 
him only, and I will depart from 
the city. And the woman said 
unto Joab, Behold, his head shall 
be thrown to thee over the 
wall. 

22 Then the woman went unto 
all the people p in her wisdom: and 
they cut off the head of Sheba the 
son of Bichri, and cast it out to 
Joab. And he blew a trumpet, 
and they 12 retired from the city, 
every man to his tent. And Joab 
returned to Jerusalem unto the 
king. 

23 *\\ Now q Joab was over all the 
host of Israel: and Benaiah the son 
of Jehoiada was over the Chereth- 
ites and over the Pelethites; 

24 And Adoram was r over the 
tribute; and s Jehoshaphat the son 
of Ahilud was 13 recorder; 

25 And Sheva was scribe; and 
Zadok * and Abiathar were the 
priests; 

26 And M Ira also the Jairite was 
14 a chief ruler about David. 

CHAPTER XXI. 

1 Tlie three years of famine for the 
Gibeonites cease, by hanging seven of 
Saul's sons. 10 Rizpah's kindness unto 
the dead. 12 David buries the bones of 
Saul and Jonathan in their fathers' 
sepulchre. 

THEN there was a famine in 
the days of David three years, 
year after year; and David x en- 
quired of the Lord. And the 
Lord answered, a It is for Saul, 
and for his bloody house, because 
he slew the Gibeonites. 

2 And the king called the 
Gibeonites, and said unto them: 
(now the Gibeonites were not of 
the children of Israel, but b of the 
remnant of the Amorites; and the 
children of Israel had sworn unto 
them: and Saul sought to slay 
them in his zeal to the children of 
Israel and Judah;) 

3 Wherefore David said unto the 
Gibeonites, What shall I do for 
you? and wherewith shall I make 
the atonement, that ye may bless 
the c inheritance of the Lord? 

4 And the Gibeonites said unto 
him, 2 We will have no silver nor 
gold of Saul, nor of his house; 
neither for us shalt thou kill any

man in Israel. And he said, 
What ye shall say, that will I do 
for you. 

5 And they answered the king. 
The man that consumed us, and 
that 3 devised against us that we 
should be destroyed from remain- 
ing in any of the coasts of Israel, 

6 Let seven men of his sons be 
delivered unto us, and we will 
hang them up unto the Lord d in 
Gibeah of Saul, i whom the Lord 
did choose. And the king said, I 
will give them. 

7 But the king spared Mephi- 
bosheth, the son of Jonathan, the 
son of Saul, because of the 6 Lord's 
oath that was between them, be- 
tween David and Jonathan the 
son of Saul. 

8 But the king took the two sons 
of t Bizpah the daughter of Aiah, 
whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni 
and Mephibosheth; and the five 
sons of 5 Michal the daughter of 
Saul, whom she 6 brought up for 
Adriel the son of Barzillai the 
Meholathite: 

9 And he delivered them into 
the hands of the Gibeonites, and 
they hanged them in the hill 9 be- 
fore the Lord: and they fell all 
seven together, and were put to 
death in the days of harvest, in 
the first days, in the beginning of 
barley harvest. 

10 % And u Kizpah the daughter 
of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread 
it for her upon the rock, * from the 
beginning of harvest until water 
dropped upon them out of heaven, 
and suffered neither the birds of 
the air to rest on them by day, nor 
the beasts of the field by night. 

11 And it was told David what 
Bizpah the daughter of Aiah, the 
concubine of Saul, had done. 

12 And David went and took the 
bones of Saul, and the bones of 
Jonathan his son, from the men 
of i Jabesh-gUead, which had 
stolen them from the street of 
Beth-shan, where the Philistines 
had hanged them, when the 
Philistines had slain Saul in 
Gilboa: 

13 And he brought up from 
thence the bones of Saul and the 
bones of Jonathan his son; and 
they gathered the bones of them 
that were hanged. 

14 And the bones of Saul and 
Jonathan his son buried they in 
the country of Benjamin in *Zelah, 
in the sepulchre of Kish his father: 



Battles with the Philistines. 



2 SAMUEL, XXII. David's psalm of thanksgiving. 



and they performed all that the 
king commanded: and after that 
God ' was entreated for the land. 

15 H Moreover the Philistines had 
yet war again with Israel; and 
David went down, and his servants 
with him, and fought against the 
Philistines: and David waxed faint. 

16 And Ishbi-benob, which was 
of the sons of 7 the giant, the 
weight of whose 8 spear weighed 
9 three hundred shekels of brass in 
weight, he, being girded with a 
new sword, thought to have slain 
David. 

17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah 
succoured him, and smote the 
Philistine, and killed him. Then 
the men of David sware unto him, 
Baying, Thou shalt go no more out 
with us to battle, that thou quench 
not the 10 light of Israel. 

18 And it came to pass after this, 
that there was again a battle with 
the Philistines at Gob: then m Sib- 
bechai theHushathite slew u Saph, 
which was of the sons of 12 the 
giant. 

19 And there was again a battle 
in Gob with the Philistines, where 
Elhanan the son of 13 Jaare-oregim, 
a Beth-lehemite, slew the brother of 
Goliath the Gittite, the staff of 
whose spear was like a weaver's 
beam. 

m 20 And n there was yet a battle 
in Gath, where was a man of great 
stature, that had on every hand 
six fingers, and on eveiy foot six 
toes, four and twenty in number; 
and he also was bom to u the 
giant. 

21 And when he 15 defied Israel, 
Jonathan the son of Shimeah, the 
brother of David, slew him. 

22 These four were born to the 
giant in Gath, and fell by the 
hand of David, and by the hand 
of his servants.

violence. 

4 I will call on the Lord, who is 
worthy to be praised: so shall I be 
saved from mine enemies. 

5 When the 1 waves of death 
compassed me, the floods of 2 un- 
godly men made me afraid; 

6 The 3 sorrows of hell compassed 
me about; the snares of death 
prevented me; 

7 In my distress R I called upon 
the Lord, and cried to my God; 
and he did * hear my voice out of 
his temple, and my cry did enter 
into his ears. 

8 Then i the earth shook and 
trembled; the foundations of 
heaven moved and shook, because 
he was wroth. 

9 There went up a smoke i out 
of his nostrils, and * fire out of his 
mouth devoured: coals were 
kindled by it. 

10 He 'bowed the heavens also, 
and came down; and darkness 
was under his feet. 

11 And he rode upon a cherub, 
and did fly; and he was seen 
upon m the wings of the wind. 

12 And he made darkness pa- 
vilions round about him, 5 dark 
waters, and thick clouds of the 
skies. 

13 Through the brightness before 
him were coals of fire kindled. 

14 The Loed n thundered from 
heaven, and the Most High uttered 
his voice. 

15 And he sent out ° arrows, and 
scattered them; lightning, and 
discomfited them. 

16 And the channels of the sea 
appeared, the foundations of the 
world were discovered, at the re- 
buking of the Lord, at the blast 
of the breath of his 6 nostrils. 

17 He sent from above, he took 
me; he drew me out of 7 many 
waters; 

18 He delivered me from my 
strong enemy, and from them that 
hated me: for they were too strong 
for me. 

19 They prevented me in the 
day of my calamity: but the Lord 
was my stay. 

20 He r brought me forth also 
into a large place; he delivered 
me, because he s delighted in me. 

21 The Lord rewarded me ac- 
cording to my righteousness; ac- 
cording to the cleanness of my 
hands hath he recompensed me. 



David psalm of thanksgiving 2 SAMUEL, XXILL for God 's merciful deliverance. 



22 For I have kept the ways of 
the Lord, and have not wickedly 
departed from my God. 

23 For all his r judgments were 
before me; and as for his statutes, 
I did not depart from them. 

24 I was also s upright 8 before 
him, and have kept myself from 
mine iniquity. 

25 Therefore the Lord hath re- 
compensed me according to my 
righteousness; according to my 
cleanness 9 in his eye-sight. 

26 With { the merciful thou wilt 
show thyself merciful, and with, the 
upright man thou wilt show thy- 
self upright. 

27 With the pure thou wilt show 
thyself pure; and M with the fro- 
ward thou wilt 10 show thyself 
unsavoury. 

28 And the " afflicted people thou 
wilt save: but thine eyes are upon 
the haughty, that thou mayest 
bring them down. 

29 For thou art my n lamp, 
Lord: and the Lord will lighten 
my darkness. 

30 For by thee I have 12 run 
through a troop: by my God have 
I leaped over a wall. 

31 As for God, "'his way is per- 
fect; * the word of the Lord is 
13 tried: he is a buckler to all them 
that trust in him. 

32 For y who is God, save the 
Lord? and who is a reck, save our 
God? 

33 God is my z strength and 
power: and he u maketh my way 
a perfect. 

34 He 15 maketh my feet like 
hinds' feet; and setteth me upon 
my high places. 

35 He teacheth my hands 16 to 
war; so that a bow of steel is bro- 
ken by mine arms. 

36 Thou hast also given me the 
shield of thy salvation: and thy 
gentleness hath 17 made me great. 

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps 
under me; so that my 1S feet did 
not slip. 

38 I have pursued mine enemies, 
and destroyed them; and turned 
not again until I had consumed 
them. 

39 And I have consumed them, 
and wounded them, that they could 
not arise; yea, they are fallen un- 
der my feet. 

40 For thou hast girded me with 
strength to battle: them that rose 
up against me hast thou 15 subdued 
under me.

CHAPTEE XXILL 

1 David professes his faith in God's pro- 
mises: 8 a catalogue of his mighty men. 

NOW these be the last words of 
David. David the son of Jesse 
said, and the man who was raised 
up on high, the anointed of the 
God of Jacob, and the sweet 
psalmist of Israel, said, 

2 The a Spirit of the Lord spake 
by me, and his word was in my 
tongue. 

3 The God of Israel said, the 
Eock of Israel spake to me, * He 
that ruleth over men must be just, 
ruling l in the fear of God. 

4 And c he shall be as the light of 
the morning when the sun riseth, 
even a morning without clouds; as

the earth by clear shining after 
rain.

with God; yet lie hath made with 
me an everlasting covenant, or- 
dered in all things, and sure: for 
this is all my salvation, and all my 
desire, although he make it not to 
grow. 

6 But the sons of Belial shell be all 
of them as thorns thrust away. 
because they cannot be taken with 
hands: 

7 But the man that shall touch 
them must be 2 fenced with iron 
and the staff of a spear; and they 
shall be utterly burned with fire 
in the same place. 

8 V These be the names of the 
mighty men whom David had: 

3 The Tachmonite that sat in the 
seat, chief among the captains; the 
same was Adino the Eznite: he lift 
up his sjxar against eight hundred, 

4 whom he slew at one time. 

9 And after him was e Eieazar the 
son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the 
three mighty men with David, 
when they defied the Philistines 
that were there gathered together 
to battle, and the men of Israel 
were gone away: 

10 He arose, and smote the Phil- 
istines, until his hand was weary. 
and his hand clave unto the sword: 
and the Lobd wrought a great 
victory that day; and the people 
returned after him only to 
spoil 

11 And after him v:as Shamniah 
the son of A gee the Hararite. t And 
the Philistines were gathered to- 
gether 5 into a troop, where was a 

: piece of ground full of lentiles: and 
the people tied from the Philis- 
tines. 

12 But he stood in the midst of 
the ground, and defended it. and 
slew the Philistines: and the Lord 
wrought a great victory. 

13 And 6 three of the thirty chief 
went down, and came to David in 
the harvest time unto s the cave 
of Adullam: and the troop of the 
Philistines pitched in the valley 
ofBephaim. 

14 And David was then in *'an 
hold, and the garrison of the 
Philistines ms then in Beth-lehem 

15 And David longed, and said, 
Oh that one would give me drink

of l Kabzeel, s who had done many 
acts, " he slew two s lion-like men 
of Moab: he went down also and 
slew a Hon in the midst of a pit in

had a spear in his hand; ^but he 
went down to him with a staff, 
and plucked the spear out of the 
Egyptian's hand, and slew him 
with his own spear. 

22 These things did Benaiah the 
son of Jehoiada. and had the name 
among three mighty men. 

23 He was u more honourable 
than the thirty, but he attained

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 David numbers the people: 10 Tie, having 
three plagues propounded by Gad, 
repents, and chooses three days' pesti- 
lence: 15 his intercession to God; the 
plague ceases. 

AND a again the anger of the 
Lord was kindled against 
Israel, and x he moved David 
against them to say, b Go, number 
Israel and Judah. 

2 For the king said to Joab the 
captain of the host, which was with 
him, 2 Go now through all the 
tribes of Israel, from Dan even to 
Beer-sheba, and number ye the 
people, that c I may know the num- 
ber of the people. 

3 And Joab said unto the Mug, 
Now the Lord thy God add unto 
the people, how many soever they 
be, an hundred-fold, and that the 
eyes of my lord the king may see 
it: but why doth my lord the king 
delight in this thing? 

4 Notwithstanding d the king's 
word prevailed against Joab, and 
against the captains of the host. 
And Joab and the captains of the 
host went out from the presence of 
the king to number the people of 
Israel. 

5 And they passed over Jordan, 
and pitched in e Aroer, on the 
right side of the city that lietk in 
the midst of the 3 river of Gad, 
and toward / Jazer. 

6 Then they came to Gilead, and 
to the 4 land of Tahtim-hodshi; 
and they came 9 to Dan-jaan, and 
about to h Zidon, 

7 And came to the strong hold 
of Tyre, and to all the cities of the 
Hivites, and of the Canaanites: 
and they went out to the south of 
Judah, even to Beer-sheba. 

8 So when they had gone through 
all the land, they came to Jeru- 
salem at the end of nine months 
and twenty days. 

9 And Joab gave up the sum of 
the number of the people unto the

king: * and there were in Israel 
eight hundred thousand valiant 
men that drew the sword; and the 
men of Judah were five hundred 
thousand men. 

10 ^f And i David's heart smote 
him after that he had numbered 
the people. And David said unto 
the Lord, * I have sinned greatly 
in that I have done: and now, I 
beseech thee, O Lord, take away 
the iniquity of thy servant; for I 
have l done very foolishly. 

11 For when David was up in the 
morning, the word of the Lord 
came unto the prophet m Gad, 
David's "'seer, saying, 

12 Go and say unto David, Thus 
saith the Lord, I offer thee three 
things; choose thee one of them, 
that I may do it unto thee. 

13 So Gad came to David, and 
told him, and said unto him, 
Shall ° seven years of famine come 
unto thee in thy land? or wilt 
thou flee three months before thine 
enemies, while they pursue thee? 
or that there be three days' pesti- 
lence in thy land? Now advise, 
and see what answer I shall return 
to him that sent me. 

14 And David said unto Gad, I 
am in a great strait: let us fall now 
into the hand of the Lord; p for his 
mercies are 5 great: and 2 let me not 
fall into the hand of man. 

15 % So r the Lord serjt a pesti- 
lence upon Israel, from the morn- 
ing even to the time appointed: 
and there died of the people from 
Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy 
thousand men. 

16 And when the * angel stretch- 
ed out his hand upon Jerusalem 
to destroy it, * the Lord repented 
him of the evil, and said to the 
angel that destroyed the people, 
It is enough; stay now thine hand. 
And the angel of the Lord was by 
the threshing- place of M Araunah 
the Jebusite. 

17 And David spake unto the 
Lord, when he saw the angel that 
smote the people, and said, Lo, v I 
have sinned, and I have done 
wickedly: but these sheep, what 
have they done? Let thine hand, 
I pray thee, be against me, and 
against my father's house. 

18 y And Gad came that day to 
David, and said unto him, "'Go up, 
rear an altar unto the Lord in the 
threshing-floor of 6 Araunah the 
Jebusite. 

19 And David, according to the 



Adonijah, with Juab's aid,

usurps the kingdom. 



saying of Gad, went up, as the 
Lord commanded. 

20 And Araunah looked, and saw 
the king and his servants coming 
on toward him: and Araunah 
went out, and howed himself 
before the king on his face upon 
the ground 

21 And Araunah said, Wherefore 
is my lord the king come to his 
servant? z And David said, To 
buy the threshing-floor of thee, to 
build an altar unto the Lord, that 
the y plague may be stayed from 
the people. 

22 And Araunah said unto David, 
Let my lord the long take and 
offer up what seemeth good unto 
him: * behold, here be oxen for 
burnt sacrifice, and threshing in-

23 Ail these things did Araunah,

Araunah said unto the king, The

Araunah, Kay; but I will surely

bought the threshing-floor and the 
oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

CHAPTER I. 

1 Abishag cherishes David in his extreme 
age. 5 Adonijah usurps the kingdom. 
32 Solomon, oy Davia's appointment, 
is anointed Ling. £0 Adonijah, jieting to 
the horns of the altar, is dismissed by 
Solomon. 

NOW king David was old and 
1 stricken in years; and they 
covered him with clothes, but he 
gat no heat. 

2 Wherefore his servants said 
unto him, 2 Let there be sought for 
my lord the king 3 a young virgin; 
and a let her stand before the king, 
and let her 4 cherish him, and let 
her he in thy bosom, that my lord 
the lung may get heat. 

3 So they sought for a fair damsel 
throughout all the coasts of Israel, 
and found Abishag a 6 Shunam- 
mite, and brought her to the king. 

4 And the damsel was very fan, 
and cherished the king, and minis- 
tered to him: but the king c knew 
her not. 

5 % Then d Adonijah the son of 
Haggith exalted himself, saying, I 
will 3 be king: and 6 he prepared 
him chariots and horsemen, and 
fifty men to run before him. 

6 And his father had /not dis- 
pleased him 6 at any time in saying, 
Why hast thou done so? and he 
also was a very goodly man; 9 and 
Ms motlier bare him after Absalom.

7 And 7 he conferred with Joab 
the son of Zeruiah, and A with 
Abiathar the priest: and *they 
b following Adonijah helped him. 

8 But Zadok the priest, and 
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and 
Nathan the prophet, and i Shimei, 
and Bei, and * the mighty men 
which belonged to David, were not 
with Adonijah 

9 And Adonijah slew sheep and 
oxen and fat cattle by the stone of 
Zoheleth, which is by 9 En-rogel, 
and called all his brethren the 
king's sons, and all the men of 
Judah the king's servants: 

10 But Nathan the prophet, and 
Benaiah, and the mighty men, 
and Solomon his brother, he called 
not. 

11 fl Wherefore Nathan spake 
unto Bath-sheba the mother of 
Solomon, saying, Hast thou not 
heard that Adonijah the son of 
Haggith 'doth reign, and David 
our lord knoweth it not? 

12 Now therefore come, let me, 1 
pray thee, give 7 " thee counsel, that 
thou mayest save thine own life,

upon my throne? why then doth 
Adonijah reign? 

14 Behold, while thon yet talkest 
there with the king, I also will 
come in after thee, and 10 confirm 
thy words. 

15 % And Bath-sheba went in 
unto the king into the chamber: 
and the king was very old; and 
Abishag the Shunammite minis- 
tered unto the king. 

16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and 
did obeisance unto the king. And 
the king said, u What wouldest 
thou? 

17 And she said unto him, ° My 
lord, thou swarest by the Lord thy 
God unto thine handmaid, saying, 
Assuredly Solomon thy son shall 
reign after me, and he shall sit 
upon my throne: 

18 And now, behold, Adonijah 
reigneth; and now, my lord the 
king, thou knowest it not: 

19 And he hath slain oxen and 
fat cattle and sheep in abundance, 
and hath called all the sons of the 
king, and Abiathar the priest, and 
Joab the captain of the host: but 
Solomon thy servant hath he not 
called. 

20 And thou, my lord, king, 
the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, 
that thou shouldest tell them who 
shall sit on the throne of my lord 
the king after him. 

21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, 
when my lord the king shall 12 sleep 
with his fathers, that i and my 
son Solomon shall be counted 

13 offenders. 

22 \\ And, lo, while she yet talked 
with the king, Nathan the prophet 
also came in. 

23 And they told the king, say- 
ing, Behold Nathan the prophet. 
And when he was come in before 
the king, he bowed himself before 
the king with his face to the 
ground. 

24 And Nathan said, My lord, 
king, hast thou said, Adonijah 
shall reign after me, and he shall 
sit upon my throne? 

25 For he is gone down this day, 
and hath slain oxen and fat cattle 
and sheep in abundance, and hath 
called all the king's sons, and the 
captains of the host, and Abiathar 
the priest; and, behold, they eat 
and drink before him, and say,

servant Solomon, hath he not 
called. 

27 Is this thing done by my lord 
the king, and thou hast not showed 
it unto thy servant, who should 
sit on the throne of my lord the 
king after him? 

28 ^ Then king David answered 
and said, Call me Bath-sheba. 
And she came 15 into the king's 
presence, and stood before the 
king. 

29 And the king sware, and said, 
As p the Lord liveth, that 2 hath 
redeemed my soul out of all 
distress, 

30 Even as I sware unto thee by 
the Lord God of Israel, saying, 
Assuredly Solomon thy son shall 
reign after me, and he shall sit 
upon my throne in my stead; even 
so will I certainly do this day. 

31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with 
her face to the earth, and did 
reverence to the king, and said, 
Let r my lord king David live for 
ever. 

32 «,[ And king David said, Call 
me Zadok the priest, and Nathan 
the prophet, and Benaiah the son 
of Jehoiada. And they came be- 
fore the king. 

33 The king also said unto them, 
Take s with you the servants of 
your lord, and cause Solomon my 
son to ride upon 16 mine own 
mule, and bring him down f to 
Gihon: 

34 And let Zadok the priest and 
Nathan the prophet u anoint him 
there king over Israel: and "blow 
ye with the trumpet, and say, God 
save king Solomon. 

35 Then ye shall come up after 
him, that he may come and sit 
upon my throne; for he shall be 
king in my stead: and I have 
appointed him to be ruler over 
Israel and over Judah. 

36 And Benaiah the son of Je- 
hoiada answered the long, and 
said, v Amen: the Lord God of my 
lord the king say so too. 

37 As x the Lord hath been with 
my lord the king, even so be he 
with Solomon, and make his 
throne greater than the throne of 
my lord king David. 

38 So Zadok the priest, and 
Nathan the prophet, and y Be- 
naiah the son of Jehoiada, and 
the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, 
went down, and caused Solomon 
to ride upon king David's mule, 
and brought him to Gihon. 



Solomon anointed king. 



1 KINGS, II. David's dying charge to Solomon. 



39 And Zadok the priest took an 
horn of oil z out of the tabernacle, 
and a anointed Solomon. And 
they blew the trumpet; and h all 
the people said, God save king 
Solomon. 

40 And all the people came up 
after him; and the people piped 
with 17 pipes, and rejoiced with 
great joy, so that the earth rent 
with the sound of them. 

41 % And Adonijah, and all the 
guests that were with him, heard 
it as they had made an end of 
eating. And when Joab heard 
the sound of the trumpet, he said, 
Wherefore is this noise of the city 
being in an uproar? 

42 And while he yet spake, be- 
hold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar 
the priest came: and Adonijah 
said unto him, Come in; for c thou 
art a valiant man, and bringest 
good tidings. 

43 And Jonathan answered and 
said to Adonijah, Verily our lord 
king David hath made Solomon 
king. 

44 And the king hath sent with 
him Zadok the priest, and Nathan 
the prophet, and Benaiah the son 
of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, 
and the Pelethites, and they have 
caused him to ride upon the king's 
mule: 

45 And Zadok the priest and 
Nathan the prophet have anointed 
him long in Gihon: and they are 
come up from thence rejoicing, so 
that the city rang again. This is 
the noise that ye have heard. 

46 And also Solomon d sitteth on 
the throne of the kingdom. 

47 And moreover the king's ser- 
vants came to bless our lord king 
David, saying, God make the name 
of Solomon better than thy name, 
and make his throne greater than 
thy throne. e And the king bowed 
himself upon the bed. 

48 And also thus said the king, 
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, 
which hath /given one to sit on 
my throne this day, mine eyes 
even seeing it. 

49 And all the guests that were 
with Adonijah were afraid, and 
rose up, and went eveiy man his 
way. 

50 And Adonijah feared because 
of Solomon, and arose, and went, 
and 9 caught hold on the horns of 
the altar. 

51 And it was told Solomon, 
saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth

ways, to keep his statutes, and his 
commandments, and his judg- 
ments, and his testimonies, as it is 
written in the law of Moses, that 
thou mayest l prosper in all that 
thou doest, and whithersoever 
thou turnest thyself; 

4 That the Lord may d continue 
his word which he spake concern- 
ing me, saying, e If thy children 
take heed to their way, to walk 
before / me in truth with all their 
heart and with all their soul, 
there 9 shall not 2 fail thee (said he) 
a man on the throne of Israel. 

5 Moreover thou knowest also 
what Joab the son of Zeruiah h did j 
to me, and what he did to the two j 
captains of the hosts of Israel, unto | 
Abner * the son of Ner, and unto 
Amasa i the son of Jether, whom 
he slew, and 3 shed the blood of i 
war in peace, and put the blood 
of war upon his girdle that was ! 
about his loins, and in his shoes j 
that were on his feet. 

6 Do therefore k according to thy i 
wisdom, and let not his hoar head j 
go down to the grave in peace. 

7 But show- kindness unto the j 
sons of Barzillai l the Gileadite, ! 
and let them be of those that ™ <uit \ 
at thy table: for so they n came to j 
me when I fled because of Absalom j 
thy brother. 



Solomon succeeds David. 



1 KINGS, II 



Adonijah is put to death. 



8 And, behold, thou hast with 
thee Shirnei ° the son of Gera, a 
Benjamite of Bahurim, which 
cursed me with a i grievous curse 
in the day when I went to Maha- 
naim: but he came down to meet 
me at Jordan, and I sware to him 
by the Lord, saying, I will not put 
thee to death with the sword. 

9 Now therefore p hold him not 
guiltless: for thou art a wise man, 
and knowest what thou oughtest 
to do unto him; but his hoar head 
bring thou down to the grave with 
blood. 

10 f So q David slept with his 
fathers, and was buried in r the 
city of David. 

11 And the days that David 
reigned s over Israel were forty 
years: seven years reigned he in 
Hebron, and thirty and three years 
reigned he in Jerusalem. 

12 \ Then * sat Solomon upon the 
throne of David his father; and his 
kingdom was estabbshed greatly. 

13 \ And Adonijah the son of 
Haggith came to Bath-sheba the 
mother of Solomon. And she 
said, " Comest thou peaceably? 
And he said, Peaceably. 

14 He said moreover, I have some- 
what to say unto thee. And she 
said, Say on. 

15 And he said, Thou knowest 
that the kingdom was mine, and 
that all Israel set their faces on me, 
that I should reign: howbeit the 
kingdom is turned about, and is 
become my brother's: for v it was 
his from the Lord. 

16 And now I ask one petition of 
thee, 5 deny me not. And she said 
unto him, Say on. 

17 And he said, Speak, I pray 
thee, unto Solomon the king, (for 
he will not say thee nay,) that he 
give me w Abishag the Shunammite 
to wife. 

18 And Bath-sheba said. Well; I 
will speak for thee unto the king. 

19 H Bath-sheba therefore went 
unto king Solomon, to speak unto 
him for Adonijah. And the king 
rose up to meet her, and bowed 
himself x unto her, and sat down 
on his throne, and caused a seat 
to be set for the king's mother; 
and y she sat on his right hand. 

20 Then she said, I desire one 
small petition of thee; I pray thee, 
say me not nay. And the king 
said -unto her, Ask on, my mother; 
for I will not say thee nay. 

21 And she said, Let Abishag the

Shunammite be given to Adonijah 
thy brother to wife. 

22 And king Solomon answered 
and said unto his mother, And 
why dost thou ask Abishag the 
Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for 
him the kingdom also; (for he is 
mine elder brother;) even for him, 
and for Abiathar z the priest, and 
for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 

23 Then king Solomon sware by 
the Lord, saying, a God do so to 
me, and more also, if Adonijah 
have not spoken this word against 
his own life. 

24 Now therefore, as the Lord 
liveth, which hath established me, 
and set me on the throne of 
David my father, and who hath 
made me an house, as he h pro- 
mised, Adonijah shall be put to 
death this day. 

25 And king Solomon sent by the 
hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoia- 
da; and he fell upon him that he 
died. 

26 % And unto Abiathar the priest 
said the king, Get thee to c Anath- 
oth, unto thine own fields; for thou 
art 6 worthy of death: but I will not 
at this time put thee to death, d be- 
cause thou barest the ark of the 
Lord God before David my father, 
and because e thou hast been afflic- 
ted in all wherein my father was 
afflicted. 

27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar 
from being priest unto the Lord; 
that he might fulfil /the word of 
the Lord, which he spake concern- 
ing the house of Eli in Shiloh. 

28 % Then tidings came to Joab: 
for Joab g had turned after Adoni- 
jah, though he turned not after 
Absalom. And Joab fled unto the 
tabernacle of the Lord, and 
caught hold on h the boms of the 
altar. 

29 And it was tcld king Solomon 
that Joab was fled unto the taber- 
nacle of the Lord; and, behold, he 
is by the altar. Then Solomon 
sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 
saying, Go, fall upon him. 

30 And Benaiah came to the 
tabernacle of the Lord, and said 
unto him, Thus saith the king, 
Come forth. And he said, Nay; 
but I will die here. And Benaiah 
brought the king word again, say- 
ing, Thus said Joab, and thus he 
answered me. 

31 And the king said unto him, 
Do i as he hath said, and fall upon 
him, and bury him; that > thou

raayest take away tne innocent ■ 
blood, -which Joab shed, from me, 
and from the house of my father. [ 

32 And the Lord k shall return his 
blood upon his own head, who fell \ 
upon two men more righteous 
and l better than he, and slew 
them with the sword, my father i 
David not knowing thereof, to wit, 
Abner m the son of Ner, captain 
of the host of Israel, and ' l Amasa 
the son of Jether, captain of the 
host of Judah. 

33 Their blood shall therefore re- 
turn upon the head of Joab, and 
upon ° the head of his seed for 
ever: p but upon David, and upon 
his seed, and upon his house, and 
upon his throne, shall there be 
peace for ever from the Lord. 

31 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada 
went up, and fell upon him, and 
slew him: and he was buried in his 
own house in - the wilderness. 

35 ^1 And the king put Benaiah 
the son of Jehoiada in his room 
over the host; and Zadok r the 
priest did the king put in the room 
of Abiathar. 

36 *[ And the king sent and called 
for * Shimei, and said unto him, 
Build x thee an house in Jerusalem, 
and dwell there, and go not forth 
thence any whither. 

37 For it shall be, that on the day 
thou goest out, and passest over 
the u brook Kidron, thou shalt 
know for certain that thou shalt 
surely die: v thy blood shall be 
upon thine own head. 

3S And Shimei said unto the lung, 
The saying is good: as my lord the 
king hath said, so will thy servant 
do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusa- 
lem many days. 

39 And it came to pass at the end 
of three years, that two of the ser- 
vants of Shimei ran away unto 
Achish w son of Maachah king of 
Gath: and they told Shimei, say- 
ing, Behold, thy servants be in 
Gath. 

40 And Shimei x arose, and sad- 
dled his ass, and went to Gath to 
Achish to seek his servants: and 
Shimei went, and brought his ser- 
vants from Gath. 

41 And it was told Solomon that 
■Shimei had gone from Jerusalem 
to Gath, and was come again. 

42 And the king sent and called 
for Shimei, and said unto him, 
Did I not make thee to v swear by 
the Lord, and protested unto thee, 
saying, Know for a certain, on

the day thou goest out, and walk-

shalt surely die? and thou saidst 
unto me, The word that I have 
heard is good. 

43 "Why then hast thou not kept 
the z oath of the Lord, and the 
commandment that I have charged 
thee with? 

41 The king said moreover to 
Shimei, Thou knowest all the 
wickedness which thine heart is 
privy to, that thou didst to David 
my father: therefore the Lord 
shall return a thy wickedness upon 
thine own head: 

45 And king Solomon shall be 
blessed, and the 6 throne of David 
shall be established before the 
Lord for ever. 

46 So the king commanded Be- 
naiah the son of Jehoiada; which 
went out, and fell upon him, that 
he died. And the kingdom was 
established in the hand of Solo- 
mon. 

CHAPTER nx 

1 Solomon marries Pharaoh's daughter. 
2 High places being in use, lie sacrifices 
at Gibeon: 6 he chooses wisdom: 16 his 
judgment between two harlots. 

\ ND Solomon made affinity with 
XV Pharaoh king of Egypt, and 
took Pharaoh's daughter, and 
brought her into the city of David, 
until he had made an end of build- 
ing his own house, and the house 
of the Lord, and a the wall of 
Jerusalem round about 

2 Only b the people sacrificed in 
high places, because there was no 
house built unto the name of the 
Lord, until those days. 

3 And Solomon e loved the Lord, 
walking in the statutes of David 
his father: only he sacrificed and 
burnt incense in high places.^ 

4 And the king went to Gibeon 
to sacrifice there; d for that was 
the great high place: a thousand 
burnt offerings did Solomon offer 
upon that altar. 

5 % In 6 Gibeon the Lord ap- 
peared to Solomon-'' in a dream by 
night: and God said, Ask g what I 
shall give thee. 

6 And * Solomon said, Thou hast 
showed unto thy servant David my 
father great * mercy, according as 
he walked before thee in truth, and 
in righteousness, and in upright- 
ness of heart with thee; and thou 
hast kept for him this great kind- 
ness, that thou hast given him a son 
to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 



Solomon chooseth wisdom. 



1 KINGS, IT. 



Hcjudgeth two harlots. 



2 



1 1 And now, Lobd my God, thou 
hast made thy servant king instead 
of David my father; ' and I am but 
a little child: I know not how i to 
_o out or come in. 

8 And tlry servant is in the midst 
of thy people which thou * hast 
chosen, a great people, l that can- 
not be numbered nor counted for 
multitude. 

9 Give m therefore thy servant an 

2 understanding heart n to judge 
thy people, that I may ° discern 
between good and bad:' for who is 
able to judge this thy so great a 
people? 

10 And the speech pleased the 
Lobd, that Solomon had asked 
this thing. 

11 And God said unto him, Be- 
cause thou hast asked this thing, 
and hast p not asked for thyself 

3 long life; neither hast asked 
riches for thyself, nor hast asked 
the life of thine enemies; but hast 
asked for thyself understanding 

4 to discern judgment; 

12 Behold, q I have done accord- 
ing to thy words: r lo, I have given 
thee a wise and an understanding 
heart; so that there was none like 
thee before thee, neither after thee 
shall any arise like unto thee. 

13 And I have also * given thee 
that which thou hast not asked, 
both ' riches and honour: so that 
there 5 shall not be any among the 
kings like unto thee all thy days. 

14 And if thou wilt walk in my 
ways, to keep my statutes and my 
commandments, as thy father 
David did walk, then I will leng- 
then u thy days. 

15 And Solomon r awoke; and, 
behold, it was a dream. And he 
came to Jerusalem, and stood be- 
fore the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord, and offered up burnt offer- 
ings, and offered peace offerings, and 
" made a feast to all his servants. 

16 f Then came there two women 
that were x harlots unto the king, 
and y stood before him. 

17 And the one woman said, 
my lord, I and this woman dwell 
in one house; and I was delivered 
of a child with her in the house. 

18 And it came to pass the third 
day after that I was delivered, that 
this woman was delivered also: and 
we were together; there was no 
stranger with us in the house, save 
we two in the house. 

19 And this woman's child died in 
the night; because she overlaid it.

20 And she arose at midnight, 
and took my son from beside me- 
while thine handmaid slept, and 
laid it in her bosom, and laid he; 
dead child in my bosom. 

21 And when I arose in the morn- 
ing to give my child suck, behold, 
it was dead: but when I had 
considered it in the morning, be- 
hold, it was not my son which I 
did bear. 

22 And the other woman said, 
Nay; but the living is my son, and 
the dead is thy son. And this 
said, Is o; but the dead is thy son, 
and the living is my son. 'Thus 
they spake before the" king. 

23 Then said the king, The one 
saith, This is my son that liveth, 
and thy son is the dead: and the 
other saith, Nay; but thy son is 
the dead, and my son is the living. 

24 And the king said, Bring me 
a sword. And they brought a 
sword before the king. 

25 And the king said, Divide the 
living child in two, and give half 
to the one, and half to the other. 

26 Then spake the woman whose 
the living child was unto the king, 
for z her bowels 6 yearned upon 
her son, and she said, O my lord, 
give her the living child, and in 
no wise slay it. But the other 
said, Let it be neither mine nor 
thine, but divide it. 

21 Then the king answered and 
said, Give her the living child, 
and in no wise slay it: she is the 
mother thereof. 

25 And all Israel heard of the 
judgment which the king had 
judged; and they feared the king: 
for they saw that a the wisdom of 
God was 7 in him to do judgment. 

CHAPTER IT. 

2 Solomon's princes: 7 his twelve officers: 
22 his daily provision suitable to the 
la.rgeness and peace of his kingdom: 29 
his wisdom.

6 And Ahishar was over the

son of Ahda was over the 4 tribute. 

7 ^ And Solomon had twelve

24 For he had dominion over all 
the region on this side the river, 
from Tiphsah even m to Azzah, 
over all the kings on this side the 
river: and he had peace on all 
sides round about hi™. 

25 And Judah and Israel " dwelt 
13 safely, every man under his vine

even to Beer-sheba, all the days 
of Solomon. 

26 *f And Solomon had forty 
thousand stalls of ° horses for Ids 
chariots, and twelve thousand 
horsemen. 

27 And those officers provided 
victual for king Solomon, and for 
all that came unto king Solomon's 
table, every man in his month: 
they lacked nothing. 

28 Barley also and straw for the 
horses and u dromedaries brought 
they unto the place where the 
officers were, every man according 
to his charge. 

29 H And God gave Solomon 
wisdom and understanding ex- 
ceeding much, and largeness of 
heart, even as the sand that is on 
the sea-shore. 

30 And Solomon's wisdom ex- 
celled the wisdom of all the chil- 
dren p of the east country, and all 
the q wisdom of Egypt. 

31 For he was wiser than all men; 
than r Ethan the Ezrabite, s and 
Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, 
the sons of Mahol: and his fame 
was in all nations round about. 

32 And * he spake three thousand 
proverbs: and his M songs were a 
thousand and five. 

33 And he spake of trees, from 
the cedar tree that is in Lebanon 
even unto the hyssop that spring- 
eth out of the wall: he spake also 
of beasts, and of fowl, and of 
creeping things, and of fishes. 

34 And v there came of all people 
to hear the wisdom of Solomon, 
from all kings of the earth, which 
had heard of his wisdom.

for he had heard that they had 
anointed him king in the room of 
his father: a for Hiram was ever a 
lover of David. 

2 And 6 Solomon sent to Hiram, 
saying, 

3 Thou knowest how that David 
my father c could not build an 
house unto the name of the Lord 
his God, d for the wars which were 
about him on every side, until the 
Lord put them under the soles of 
his feet. 

4 But now the Lord my God 
hath given me e rest on every side, 
so that there is neither adversary 
nor evil occurrent. 

5 And, t behold, I * purpose to 
build an house unto the name of 
the Lord my God, as 9 the Lord 
spake unto David my father, say- 
ing, Thy son, whom I will set upon 
thy throne in thy room, he shall 
build an house unto my name. 

6 Now therefore command thou 
that they hew me h cedar trees out 
of Lebanon; and my servants shall 
be with thy servants: and unto 
thee will I give hire for thy ser- 
vants according to all that thou 
shalt 2 appoint: for thou knowest 
that there is not among us any that 
can skill to hew timber like unto 
the ' Sidonians. 

7 ^f And it came to pass, when 
Hiram heard the words of Solo- 
mon, that he rejoiced greatly, and 
said, Blessed be the Lord this day, 
which hath given unto David a 
wise son over this great people. 

8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, 
saying, I have 3 considered the 
things which thou sentest to me 
for: and I will do all thy desire 
concerning timber of cedar, and 
concerning timber of fir. 

9 My $ servants shall bring them 
down from Lebanon unto the 
sea; . k and I will convey them by 
sea in floats unto the place that 
thou shalt 4 appoint me, and will 
cause them to be discharged there, 
and thou shalt receive them: and 
thou shalt accomplish my desire, 
in l giving food for my household. 

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar 
trees and fir trees, according to all 
his desire. 

11 And m Solomon gave Hiram 
twenty thousand 5 measures of 
wheat for food to his household, 
and 6 twenty measures of pure oil: 
thus gave Solomon to Hiram year 
by year.

there was peace between Hiram 
and Solomon; and they two made 
a league together. 

13 *[[ And king Solomon raised a 
7 levy out of all Israel; and the 
levy was thirty thousand men. 

14 And he sent them to Lebanon, 
ten thousand a month by courses; 
a month they were in Lebanon, 
and two months at home: ° and 
Adoniram was over the levy. 

15 And Solomon had threescore 
and ten thousand that bare bur- 
dens, and fourscore thousand hew- 
ers in the mountains; 

16 Besides the chief of Solomon's 
officers which were over the work, 
three thousand and three hundred, 
which ruled over the people that 
wrought in the work. 

17 And the king commanded, 
and they brought great stones, 
costly stones, and hewed stones, 
to lay the foundation of the house. 

18 And Solomon's builders and 
Hiram's builders did hew them, 
and the 8 stone-squarers: so they 
prepared timber and stones to 
build the house. 

CHAPTER VI. 

1 The building of Solomon's temple: 5 
the chambers thereof: 11 God's promise 
concerning it: 15 the deling and adorn- 
ing of it: 23 the cherubim: 37 ilie time 
taken to build it. 

AN D it came to pass, in the four 
hundred and eightieth year 
after the children of Israel were 
come out of the land of Egypt, in 
the fourth year of Solomon's reign 
over Israel, in the month Zif, 
which is the second l month, that 
he 2 began to build the house of 
the Lord. 

2 And a the house which king 
Solomon built for the Lord, the 
length thereof was threescore 
cubits, and the breadth thereof 
twenty cubits, and the height 
thereof thirty cubits. 

3 And the porch before the 
temple of the house, twenty cubits 
was the length thereof, according 
to the breadth of the house; and 
ten cubits was the breadth thereof 
before the house. 

4 And for the house he made 
3 windows of narrow lights. 

5 And 4 against the wall of the 
house he built 6 chambers round 
about, against the walls of the 
house round about, both of the 
temple and of the 6 oracle: and he 
made 7 chambers round about.

7 And the house, when it was in i vault beams 
building, was built of stone made ] ari d the 
ready before it was brought thither : 1 ceilings with 



nor ax nor any tool of iron heard 
in the house while it was in 
building. 

8 The door for the middle cham- 
ber was in the right 9 side of the 
house: and they went up with 
wmding stairs into the middle 
chamber, and out of the middle 
into the third. 

9 So he built the house, and 
finished it; and covered tbe house 

10 with beams and boards of cedar. 

10 And then he built chambers 
against all the house, five cubits 
high: and they rested on the house 
with timber of cedar. 

11 % And the word of the Lord 
came to Solomon, saying, 

12 Concerning this house which 
thou art in building, if thou wilt 
walk in my statutes, and execute 
my judgments, and keep all my 
commandments to walk in them; 
then will I perform my word with 
thee, which I spake unto David 
thy father: 

13 And b I will dwell among the 
children of Israel, and c will not 
forsake my people Israel. 

14 So Solomon built the house, 
and finished it. 

15 And he built the walls of the 
house within with boards of cedar, 

11 both the floor of the house, and 
the Avails of the deling: and he 
covered them on the inside with 
wood, and covered the floor of the 
house with planks of fir. 

16 And he built twenty cubits on 
the sides of the house, both the 
floor and the walls with boards of 
cedar: he even built them for it 
within, even for the oracle, even for 
the d most holy place. 

17 And the house, that is, the 
temple before it, was forty cubits 
long. 

18 And the cedar of the house 
within was carved with 12 knops 
and 13 open flowers: all was cedar; 
there was no stone seen.

20 And the oracle in the fore 
part was twenty cubits in length, 
and twenty cubits in breadth, and 
twenty cubits in the height there- 
of: and he overlaid it with u pure 
gold; and so covered the altar 
which was of cedar. 

21 So Solomon overlaid the house 
within with pure gold: and he 
made a partition by the chains of 
gold before the oracle; and he 
overlaid it with gold. 

22 And the whole house he over- 
laid with gold, until he had 1 
finished all the house: also * the 
whole altar that was by the oracle j 
he overlaid with gold. 

23 % And within the oracle 9 he | 
made two cherubim of 15 olive 
tree, each ten cubits high. 

24 And five cubits was the one 
wing of the cherub, and five cubits 
the other wing of the cherub: from 
the uttermost part of the one wing 
unto the uttermost part of the 
other were ten cubits. 

25 And the other cherub was ten 
cubits: both the cherubim were of 
one measure and one size. 

26 The height of the one cherub 
was ten cubits, and so was it of the 
other cherub. 

27 And he set the cherubim 
within the inner house: and i6 they 
stretched forth the wings of the 
cherubim, so that the wing of the 
one touched the one wall, and the 
wing of the other cherub touched 
the other wall; and their wings 
touched one another in the midst 
of the house. 

2S And he overlaid the cherubim 
with gold. 

29 And he carved all the walls of 
the house round about with carved 
figures of cherubim and palm trees 
and 17 open flowers, within and 
without. 

30 And the floor of the house he 
overlaid with gold, within and 
without. 

31 % And for the h entering of 
the oracle he made doors of olive 
tree: the lintel and side posts were 
13 a fifth part of the wall 

32 The 19 two doors also were of 
olive tree; and he carved upon 
them carvings of cherubim and 
palm trees and 20 open flowers, 
and overlaid them with gold, and 
spread gold upon the cherubim, 
and upon the palm trees. 

33 So also made he for the door

21 a fourth part oftlie watt. 

34 And the two doors were of fir 
tree: the two » leaves of the one 
door were folding, and the two 
leaves of the other door were 
folding. 

35 And he carved then-eon cheru- 
bim and palm trees and open 
flowers; and covered tliem with 
gold fitted upon the carved work. 

36 And he built the inner court 
with three rows of hewed stone, 
and a row of cedar beams. 

37 ^[ In the fourth year was the 
foundation of the house of the 
Lord laid, in the month Zif: 

38 And in the eleventh year, in 

22 the month Bui, which is the 
eighth month, was the house 
finished ^ throughout all the parts 
thereof, and according to all the 
fashion of it. So was he seven 
years in building it.

house of Lebanon, 8 of the house for 

Pharaoh's daughter. 13 Hiram's works. 

BUT Solomon was building his 
own house a thirteen years, 
and he finished all his house. 

2 *f He built also the house of the 
forest of Lebanon; the length 
thereof was an hundred cubits, 
and the breadth thereof fifty 
cubits, and the height thereof 
thirty cubits, upon four rows of 
cedar pillars, with cedar beams 
upon the pillars. 

3 And it was covered with cedar 
above upon the 1 beams, that lap 
on forty- five pillars,fifteen in a row. 

4 And there were windows in three 
rows, and 2 light was against light 
in three ranks. 

5 And all the 3 doors and posts 
were square, with the windows: 
and light was against light in three 
ranks. 

6 f And he made a porch of 
pillars; the length thereof was 
fifty cubits, and the breadth 
thereof thirty cubits: and the 
porch was 4 before them; and the 
other pillars and the thick beam 
were 5 before them. 

7 Then he made a porch for 6 the 
throne where he might judge, even 
the porch of judgment: and it was 
covered with cedar 6 from one side 
of the floor to the other. 

8 And his house where he dwelt 
had another court within the porch, 
which was of the like work. Solomon 
made also an house for Pharaoh's

9 All these were of costly stones, 
according to the measures of 
hewed stones, sawed with saws, 
within and without, even from 
the foundation unto the coping, 
and so on the outside toward the 
great court. 

10 And the foundation was of 
costly stones, even great stones, 
stones of ten cubits, and stones of 
eight cubits. 

11 And above were costly stones, 
after the measures of hewed stones, 
and cedars. 

12 And the great court round 
about was with three rows of 
hewed stones, and a row of cedar 
beams, both for the inner court of 
the house of the Lord, d and for 
the porch of the house. 

13 f And king Solomon sent and 
fetched Hiram 6 out of Tyre. 

14 He f was 7 a widow's son of the 
tribe of Naphtali, and 9 his father 
was a man of Tyre, a worker in 
brass: and A he was filled with wis- 
dom and understanding, and cun- 
ning to work all works in brass. 
And he came to king Solomon, 
and wrought all his work. 

15 For he 8 cast i two pillars of 
brass, of eighteen cubits high 
apiece; and a line of twelve cubits 
did compass either of them about. 

16 And he made two chapiters of 
molten brass, to set upon the tops 
of the pillars: the height of the 
one chapiter was five cubits, and 
the height of the other chapiter 
was five cubits: 

17 And nets of checker-work, and 
wreaths of chain-work, for the 
chapiters which were upon the top 
of the pillars; seven for the one 
chapiter, and seven for the other 
chapiter. 

18 And he made the pillars, and 
two rows round about upon the 
one net-work, to cover the chapi- 
ters that were upon the top with 
pomegranates: and so did he for 
the other chapiter. 

19 And the chapiters that were 
upon the top of the pillars were 
of lily-work in the porch, four 
cubits. ,, 

20 And the chapiters upon the 
two pillars had pomegranates also 
above, over against the belly which 
was by the net- work: and the 
pomegranates were ?" two hundred, 
in rows round about upon the 
other chapiter.

21 And k he set up the pillars in 
the l porch of the temple: and he 
set up the right pillar, and called 
the name thereof 9 Jachin; and he 
set up the left pillar, and called 
the name thereof 10 Boaz. 

22 And upon the top of the pillars 
was lily- work: so was the work of 
the pillars finished. 

23 *[ And he made m a molten 
sea, ten cubits n from the one brim 
to the other: it was round all about, 
and his height was five cubits; and 
a line of thirty cubits did compass 
it round about. 

24 And under the brim of it round 
! about there were knops compassing 
I it, ten in a cubit, n compassing the 

sea round about: the knops were 
cast in two rows when it was cast, 
i 25 It stood upon ° twelve oxen, 
! three looking toward the north, 
and three looking toward the west, 
and three looking toward the 
south, and three looking toward 
the east: and the sea was set above 
upon them, and all their hinder 
parts were inward. 

26 And it was an hand breadth 
thick, and the brim thereof was 
wrought like the brim of a cup, 
with flowers of lilies: it contained 
12 two thousand baths. 

27 f And he made ten bases of 
brass; four cubits was the length 
of one base, and four cubits the 
breadth thereof, and three cubits 
the height of it. 

28 And the work of the bases was 
on this manner: they had 13 borders, 
and the borders were between the 
ledges: 

29 And on the borders that were 
between the ledges were p lions, 
oxen, and cherubim: and upon 
the ledges there was a base above: 
and beneath the lions and oxen 
were certain additions made of 
thin work. 

30 And every base had four brasen 
wheels, and plates of brass; and 
the four corners thereof had under- 
setters: under the laver were un- 
dersetters molten, at the side of 
every addition. 

31 And the mouth of it within the 
chapiter and above was a cubit: 
but the mouth thereof was round, 
after the work of the base, a cubit 
and an half: and also upon the 
mouth of it were gravings with 
their borders, foursquare, not 
round. 

32 And under the borders were 
four wheels; and the axletrees of [

the wheels were u joined to the base: 
and the height of a wheel was a 
cubit and half a cubit. 

33 And the work of the wheels 
was like the work of a chariot 
wheel; their axletrees, and their 
naves, and their felloes, and their 
spokes, were all molten. 

34 And there were four underset- 
ters to the four corners of one base: 
and the undersetters were of the 
very base itself. 

35 And in the top of the base was 
there a round compass of half a 
cubit high: and on the top of the 
base the ledges thereof and the 
borders thereof were of the same. 

36 For on the plates of the 15 ledges 
thereof, and on the borders there- 
of, he graved cherubim, lions, and 
palm trees, according to the 16 pro- 
portion of every one, and additions 
round about. 

37 After this manner he made the 
ten bases: all of them had one 
casting, one measure, and one size. 

38 Then q made he ten lavers of 
brass: one laver contained forty 
baths: and every laver was four 
cubits: and upon every one of the 
ten bases one laver. 

39 And he put five bases on the 
right 17 side of the house, and five 
on the left side of the house: and 
he set the sea on the right side of 
the house eastward over against 
the south. 

40 ^[And Hiram made the lavers, 
and the shovels, and the basins. 
So Hiram made an end of doing 
all the work that he made king 
Solomon for the house of the 
Lord: 

41 The two pillars, and the two 
bowls of the chapiters that were on 
the top of the two pillars; and the 
two net-works, to cover the two 
bowls of the chapiters which were 
upon the top of the pillars; 

42 And four hundred pomegran- 
ates for the two net- works, even 
two rows of pomegranates for one 
net-work, to cover the two bowls 
of the chapiters that were 1S upon 
the pillars; 

43 And the ten bases, and ten 
lavers on the bases; 

44 And one sea, and twelve oxen 
under the sea; 

45 And r the pots, and the shov- 
els, and the basins: and all these 
vessels, which Hiram made to king 
Solomon for the house of the Lord, 
were of 19 bright brass.

the king cast them, 20 in the clay 
ground £ between Succoth u and 
Zarthan. 

47 And Solomon left all the ves- 
sels unweiglied, 21 because they were 
exceeding many: neither was the 
weight of the brass 22 found out. 

48 And Solomon made all the 
vessels that pertained unto the 
house of the Lord: the v altar of 
gold, and *" the table of gold, 
whereupon x the showbread was, 

49 And the candlesticks of pure 
gold, five on the right side, and five 
on the left, before the oracle, with 
the flowers, and the lamps, and 
the tongs, of gold; 

50 And the bowls, and the snuff- 
ers, and the basins, and the spoons, 
and the ™ censers, of pure gold ; 
and the hinges of gold., both for the 
doors of the inner house, the most 
holy place, and for the doors of the 
house, to wit, of the temple. 

51 So was ended all the work that 
king Solomon made for the house 
of the Lord. And Solomon brought 
in the 24 things which David his 
father had dedicated; even the sil- 
ver, and the gold, and the vessels, 
did he put among the treasures of 
the house of the Lord.

heads of the tribes, the x chief of 
the fathers of the children of 
Israel, unto kiDg Solomon in Jeru- 
salem, that a they might bring up 
the ark of the covenant of the

Solomon at the feast c in the 
month Ethanim, which is the 
seventh month. 

3 And all the elders of Israel 
came, d and the priests took up 
the ark. 

4 And they brought up the ark of 
the Lord, 6 and the tabernacle of 
the congregation, and all the holy 
vessels that were in the tabernacle, 
even those did the priests and the 
Levites bring up. 

5 And king Solomon, and all the

assembled unto him, were with him

6 And the priests brought in the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord 
unto / his piace, into the oracle of 
the house, to the most holy place, 
even 9 under the wings of the 
cherubim. 

7 For the cherubim spread forth 
their two wings over the place of 
the ark, and the cherubim covered 
the ark and the staves thereof 
above. 

8 And they h drew out the staves, 
that the 2 ends of the staves were 
seen out in the 3 holy place before 
the oracle, and they were not seen 
without: and there they are unto 
this day. 

9 There i was nothing in the ark 
save i the two tables of stone, 
which Moses k put there at Horeb, 
4 when the Lord made a covenant 
with the children of Israel, when 
they came out of the land of 
Egypt. 

10 And it came to pass, when the 
priests were come out of the holy 
place, that the cloud filled the 
house of the Lord, 

11 So that the priests could not 
stand to minister because of the 
cloud: for the glory of the Lord 
had filled the house of the Lord. 

12 f Then spake Solomon, The 
Lord said that he would dwell l in 
the thick darkness. 

13 I have surely built thee an 
house to dwell in, m a settled place 
for thee to abide in for ever. 

14 And the king turned his -face 
about, and n blessed all the con- 
gregation of Israel: (and all the 
congregation of Israel stood:) 

15 And he said, ° Blessed be the 
Lord God of Israel, which spake 
with his mouth unto David my 
father, and hath with his hand 
fulfilled it, saying, 

16 Since p the day that I brought 
forth my people Israel out of 
Egypt, I chose no city out of all 
the tribes of Israel to build an 
house, that q my name might be 
therein; but I chose David to be 
over my people Israel. 

17 And it was in the heart of 
David my father to build an house 
for the name of the Lord God of 
Israel. 

18 And the Lord said unto David 
my father, Whereas it was in thine 
heart to build an house unto my 
name, thou didst well that it was 
in thine heart: 



Solomon' s prayer 



1 KINGS, M 



<rf the dedication of the temple. 



19 Nevertheless thou shalt not 
build the house; hut thy son, that 
shall come forth out of thy loins, 
he shall build the house unto my 
name. 

20 And the Lord hath performed 
his word that he spake; and I am 
risen up in the room of David my 
father, and sit on the throne of 
Israel, as the Lord promised, and 
have built an house for the name 
of the Lord God of Israel. 

21 And I have set there a place 
for the ark, wherein is r the cove- 
nant of the Lord, which he made 
with our fathers, when he brought 
them out of the land of Egypt 

22 f And Solomon stood before 
the * altar of the Lord, in the 
presence of all the congregation of 
Israel, and spread forth his hands 
toward heaven: 

23 And he said, Lord God of 
Israel, ' there is no God like thee, 
in heaven above, or on earth be- 
neath, u who keepest covenant 
and mercy with thy servants that 
walk v before thee with all their 
heart; 

24 Who hast kept with thy ser- 
vant David my father that thou 
promisedst him: thou spakest also 
with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled 
it with thine hand, as it is this 
day. 

25 Therefore now, Lord God of 
Israel, keep with thy servant 
David my father that thou pro- 
misedst him, saying, 5 There shall 
not fail thee a man in my sight to 
sit on the throne of Israel; 6 so 
that thy children take heed to 
their way, that they walk before 
me as thou hast walked before 
me. 

26 And w now, God of Israel, 
let thy word, I pray thee, be veri- 
fied, which thou spakest unto thy 
servant David my father. 

27 But z will God indeed dwell 
on the earth? Behold, the heaven, 
and y heaven of heavens, cannot 
contain thee; how much less this 
house that I have builded! 

28 Yet have thou respect unto 
the * prayer of thy servant, and to 
his supplication, Lord my God, 
to hearken unto the cry and to 
the prayer which thy servant 
prayeth before thee to-day. 

29 That thine eyes may be open 
toward this house night and day, 
even toward the place of which 
thou hast said, My name shall be 
there; that thou mayest hearken

from before the altar of the Lord, 
from kneeling on his knees with

loud voice, saying, 

56 Blessed be the Lord, that hath 
given rest unto his people Israel, 
according to all that he promised: 
there u hath not 17 failed one word 
of all his good promise, which he 
promised by the hand of Moses

as he was with our fathers: v let 
him not leave us, nor forsake us; 

58 That he may w incline our 
hearts unto him, to walk in all his 
ways, and to keep his command- 
ments, and his statutes, and his 
judgments, which he commanded 
our fathers. 

59 And let these my words, where- 
with I have made supplication be- 
fore the Lord, be nigh unto the 
Lord our God day and night, that 
he maintain the cause of his ser- 
vant, and the cause of his people 
Israel 18 at all times, as the matter 
shall require: 

60 That *all the people of the 
earth may know that y the Lord

63 And Solomon offered a sacri-

offered unto the Lord, two and 
i twenty thousand oxen, and an 
I hundred and twenty thousand 
| sheep. So the king and all the 
I children of Israel dedicated the 
j house of the Lord. 
! 64 The same day did the king 
hallow the middle of the court 
that was before the house of the 
Lord: for there he offered burnt 
offerings, and meat offerings, and 
the fat of the peace offerings; be- 
cause the brasen altar that was 
before the Lord was too little to 
receive the burnt offerings, and 
meat offerings, and the fat of the 
peace offerings. 

65 f And at that time Solomon 
held a a feast, and all Israel with 
him, a great congregation, from 
the 6 entering in of Hamath unto 
the c river of Egypt, before the 
Lord our God, seven days and 
seven days, even fourteen days. 

66 On the eighth day he sent the 
people away: and they 19 blessed 
the king, and went unto their 
tents joyful and glad of heart, for 
all the goodness that the Lord had 
done for David his servant, and 
for Israel his people.

of thy kingdom upon Israel for 
ever, * as I promised to David thy 
father, saying, There shall not fail 
thee a man upon the throne of Israel. 

6 But 3 if ye shall at all turn from 
following me, ye or your children, 
and will not keep my command- 
ments and my statutes which I 
have set before you, but go and 
serve other gods, and worship them; 

7 Then k will I cut off Israel out 
of the land which I have given 
them; and this house, which I 
have hallowed l for my name, will 
I cast out of my sight; m and Israel 
shall be a proverb and a byword 
among all people: 

8 And n at this house, whicli is 
high, every one that passeth by it 
shall be astonished, and shall hiss; 
and they shall say, ° Why hath the 
Lord done thus unto this land, 
and to this house? 

9 And they shall answer, Because 
they forsook the Lord their God, 
who brought forth their fathers 
out of the land of Egypt, and have 
taken hold upon other gods, and 
have worshipped them, and served 
them; therefore hath the Lord 
brought upon them all this evil. 

10 ■jl And it came to pass at the 
end of twenty years, when Solo- 
mon had built the two houses, the 
house of the Lord, and the king's 
house, 

11 {Now Hiram the king of Tyre 
had furnished Solomon with cedar 
trees and fir trees, and with gold, 
according to all his desire.) that 
then king Solomon gave Hiram 
twenty cities l in the land of Galilee. 

12 And Hiram came out from 
Tyre to see the cities which Solo- 
mon had given him; and they 
2 pleased him not. 

13 And he said, What cities are 
these which thou hast given me, 
my brother? And he called them 
the land of 3 Cabul unto this day. 

14 And Hiram sent to the king 
sixscore talents of gold. 

15 If And this is the reason of 
the v levy which king Solomon 
raised; for to build the house of 
the Lord, and his own house, 
and 2 Millo, and the wall of Jeru- 
salem, and 'Hazor, and s Megiddo, 
and ' Gezer. 

16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt 
had gone up and taken Gezer, and 
burnt it with fire, and u slain the 
Canaanites that dwelt in the city, 
and given it for a present unto his 
daughter, Solomon's wife.

17 And Solomon built Gezer, and 
Beth-horon v the nether, 

18 And w Baalath, and Tadmor 
in the wilderness, in the land, 

19 And all the cities of store that 
Solomon had, and cities for his 
chariots, and cities for his horse- 
men, and 4 that which Solomon 
desired to build in Jerusalem, and 
in Lebanon, and in all the land of 
his dominion. 

20 And all the people that were 
left of the Amorites, Hittites, 
Perizzites, Hivites, ana Jebusites, 
which were not of the children of 
Israel, 

21 Their children x that were left 
after them in the land, whom the 
children of Israel also were not 
able utterly to destroy, upon those 
did Solomon levy a tribute y of 
bond-service unto this day. 

22 But of the children of Israel 
did Solomon g make no bondmen: 
but they were men of war, and his 
servants, and his princes, and his 
captains, and rulers of his chariots, 
and his horsemen. 

23 These were the chief of the 
officers that were over Solomon's 
work, five hundred and fifty, 
which bare rule over the people 
that wrought in the work. 

24 51 But Pharaoh's daughter 
came up out of the city of David 
unto a her house which Solomon 
had built for her: then b did he 
build Millo. 

25 U And three times in a year 
did Solomon oiler burnt offerings 
and peace offerings upon the altar 
which he built unto the Lord, 
and he burnt incense 6 upon the 
altar that was before the Lord. 
So he finished the house. 

26 % And king Solomon made a 
navy of ships in c Ezion-geber, 
which is beside Eloth, on the 
6 shore of the Red sea, in the land 
of Edom. 

27 And d Hiram sent in the navy 
his servants, shipmen that had 
knowledge of the sea, with the 
servants of Solomon. 

28 And they came to e Ophir, and 
fetched from thence gold, four 
hundred and twenty talents, and 
brought it to king Solomon.

concerning the name of the Lord, 
she came Ho prove him with hard 
questions. 

2 And she came to Jerusalem 
with a very great train, with 
camels that bare spices, and very 
much gold, and precious stones: 
and when she was come to Solo- 
mon, she communed with him of 
all that was in her heart. 

3 And Solomon c told her all her 

1 questions: there was not any 
thing hid from the king, which he 
told her not. 

4 And when the queen of Sheba 
had seen all Solomon's wisdom, 
and the house that he had built, 

5 And the meat of his table, and 
the sitting of his servants, and the 

2 attendance of his ministers, and 
their apparel, and his 3 cup-bearers, 
and d his ascent by which he went 
up unto the house of the Lord; 
there was no more spirit in her. 

6 And she said to the king, It 
was a true i report that I heard in 
mine own land of thy 5 acts, and 
of thy wisdom. 

7 Howbeit I believed not the 
words, until I came, and mine 
eyes had seen it; and, behold, the 
half was not told me: 6 thy wisdom 
and prosperity exceedeth the fame 
which I heard. 

8 Happy 6 are thy men, happy 
are these thy servants, which stand 
continually before thee, and that 
hear thy wisdom. 

9 Blessed / be the Lord thy God, 
which delighted in thee, to set 
thee on the throne of Israel: be- 
cause the Lord loved Israel for 
ever, therefore 9 made he thee 
king, A to do judgment and justice. 

10 And she gave the king an 
hundred and twenty talents of 
gold, and of spices veiy great store, 
and precious stones: there came 
no more such abundance of spices 
as these which the queen of Sheba 
gave to king Solomon. 

11 And * the navy also of Hiram, 
that brought gold from 3 Ophir, 
brought in from Ophir great plenty 
of 1 almug trees, and precious 
stones. 

12 And k the king made of the 
almug trees 8 pillars for the house 
of the Lord, and for the king's 
house, harps also and psalteries for 
singers: there came no such almug 
trees, nor were seen unto this day. 

13 And king Solomon gave unto 
the queen of Sheba all her desire, 
whatsoever she asked, besides that

which Solomon gave her 9 of his 
royal bounty: so she turned, and 
went to her own country, she and 
her servants. 

14 % Now the weight of gold that 
came to Solomon in one year was 
six hundred threescore and six 
talents of gold, 

15 Besides that he had of the mer- 
chantmen, and of the traffic of the 
spice-merchants, and l of all the 
kings of Arabia, and of the 10 gov- 
ernors of the country. 

16 If And king Solomon made 
two hundred targets of beaten 
gold: six hundred shekels of gold 
went to one target. 

17 And he made m three hundred 
shields of beaten gold; three pound 
of gold went to one shield: and 
the king put them in n the house 
of the forest of Lebanon. 

18 ^f Moreover ° the king made a 
great throne of ivory, and overlaid 
it with the best gold. 

19 The throne had six steps, and 
the top of the throne was round 
11 behind: and there were 12 stays on 
either side on the place of the seat, 
and two lions stood beside the 
stays. 

20 And twelve lions stood there 
on the one side and on the other 
upon the six steps: there was not 
13 the like made in any kingdom. 

21 And all king Solomon's drink- 
ing vessels were of gold, and all the 
vessels of the house of the forest of 
Lebanon were o/"pure gold; u none 
were of silver: it was nothing ac- 
counted of in the days of Solomon. 

22 For the king had at sea a navy 
of p Tharshish with the navy of 
Hiram: once in three years came 
the navy of Tharshish, bringing 
gold, and silver, 15 ivory, and apes, 
and peacocks. 

23 So king Solomon exceeded all 
the kings of the earth for riches 
and for wisdom. 

24 ^ And all the earth 16 sought 
to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, 
which God had put in his heart. 

25 And q they brought every man 
his present, vessels of silver, and 
vessels of gold, and garments, and 
armour, and spices, horses, and 
mules, a rate year by year. 

26 % And Solomon r gathered 
together chariots and horsemen: 
and he had a thousand and four 
hundred chariots, and twelve 
thousand horsemen, whom he 
bestowed in the cities for chariots, 
and with the king at Jerusalem.

1 Solomon's wives and concubines in his 
old age draw him to idolatry: 9 God 
threatens him. , 14 Solomon's adver- 
saries. 41 Hehoboam succeeds him. 

BUT king Solomon loved a many 
strange women, J together 
with the daughter of Pharaoh, 
women of the Moabites, Ammon- 
ites, Edomites, ■ Zidonians, and 
Hittites; 

2 Of the nations concerning which 
the Lord said unto the children 
of Israel, b Ye shall not go in to 
them, neither shall they come in 
unto you: for surely they will turn 
away your heart after their gods. 
Solomon clave unto these in love. 

3 And he had seven hundred 
wives, princesses, and three hun- 
dred concubines: and his wives 
turned away his heart. 

4 For it came to pass, when Solo- 
mon was old, c that his wives 
turned away his heart after other 
gods: and his heart was not perfect 
with the Lord his God, as was the 
heart of David his father. 

5 For Solomon went after d Ash- 
toreth the goddess of the Zido- 
nians, and after Milcom the 
abomination of the Ammonites. 

6 And Solomon did evil in the 
sight of the Lord, and 2 went not 
fully after the Lord, as did David 
his father. 

7 Then " did Solomon build an 
high place for / Chemosh, the 
abomination of Moab, in 9 the hill 
that is before Jerusalem, and for 
Molech, the abomination of the 
children of Ammon. 

8 And likewise did he for all his 
strange wives, which burnt in- 
cense, and sacrificed unto their 
gods.

with Solomon, because his heart 
was turned from the Lord God of

1 KINGS, XL Ahijah's prophecy to Jeroboam. 



Israel, * which had appeared unto 
him twice, 

10 And ^ had commanded him 
concerning this thing, that he 
should not go after other gods: hut 
he kept not that which the Lord 
commanded. 

11 Wherefore the Lord said unto 
Solomon, Forasmuch as this 3 is 
done of thee, and thou hast not 
kept my covenant, and my stat- 
utes, which I have commanded 
thee, * I will surely rend the king- 
dom from thee, and will give it to 
thy servant. 

12 Notwithstanding in thy days 
I will not do it for David thy 
father's sake: but I will rend it out 
of the hand of thy son. 

13 Howbeit 1 1 will not rend away 
all the kingdom; but will give 
one m tribe to thy son n for David 
my servant's sake, and for Jerusa- 
lem's sake, ° which I have chosen. 

14 1f And the Lord p stirred up an 
adversary unto Solomon, Hadad 
the Edomite: he was of the king's 
seed in Edom. 

15 For g it came to pass, when 
David was in Edom, and Joab the 
captain of the host was gone up to 
bury the slain, r after he had smit- 
ten every male in Edom, 

16 (For six months did Joab re- 
main there with all Israel, until 
he had cut off eveiy male in 
Edom,) 

17 That Hadad fled, he and cer- 
tain Edomites of his father's ser- 
vants with him, to go into Egypt; 
Hadad being yet a little child. 

18 And they arose out of Midian, 
and came to Paran: and they took 
men with them out of Paran, and 
they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh 
king of Egypt; which gave him an 
house, and appointed him victuals, 
and gave him land. 

19 And Hadad found great favour 
in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he 
gave him to wife the sister of his 
own wife, the sister of Tahpenes 
the queen. 

20 And the sister of Tahpenes 
bare him Genubath his son, whom 
Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's 
house: and Genubath was in 
Pharaoh's household among the 
sons of Pharaoh. 

21 And * when Hadad heard in 
Egypt that David slept with his 
fathers, and that Joab the captain 
of the host was dead, Hadad said 
to Pharaoh, 4 Let me depart, that 
I may go to mine own country.

22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, 
But what hast thou lacked with 
me, that, behold, thou seekest to 
go to thine own country? And 
he answered, 5 Nothing: howbeit 
let me go in any wise. 

23 ^ And God stirred him up 
another adversary, Rezon the son 
of Eliadah, which fled from his 
lord * Hadadezer king of Zobah. 

24 And he gathered men unto 
him, and became captain over a 
band, M when David slew them of 
Zobah: and they went to Damascus, 
and dwelt therein, and reigned 
in Damascus. 

25 And he was an adversary to 
Israel all the days v of Solomon, 
besides the mischief that Hadad 
did: and he abhorred Israel, and 
reigned over Syria. 

26 % And w Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, 
Solomon's servant, whose mother's 
nametms Zeruah, a widow woman, 
even he x lifted up his hand against 
the king. 

27 And this was the cause that he 
lifted up his hand against the 
king: y Solomon built Millo, and 
6 repaired the breaches of the city 
of David his father. 

28 And the man Jeroboam was a 
mighty man of valour: and Solo- 
mon seeing the young man that 
he 7 was industrious, he made him 
ruler over all the 8 charge of the 
house of Joseph. 

29 And it came to pass at that 
time when Jeroboam went out of 
Jerusalem, that the prophet * Ahi- 
jah the Shilonite found him in the 
way; and he had clad himself with 
a new garment; and they two 
were alone in the field: 

30 And Ahijah caught the new 
garment that was on him, and 
rent ° it in twelve pieces: 

31 And he said to Jeroboam, 
Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith 
the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, 
I b will rend the kingdom out of 
the hand of Solomon, and will give 
ten tribes to thee: 

32 (But he shall have one tribe for 
my servant David's sake, and for 
Jerusalem's sake, the city which I 
have chosen out of all the tribes of 
Israel:) 

33 Because that they have for- 
saken me, and have worshipped 
Ashtoreth c the goddess of the 
Zidonians, d Chemosh the god of 
the Moabites, and e Milcom the 
god of the children of Ammon,

and have not walked in my ways, 
to do that which is right in mine 
eyes, and to keep my statutes and 
my judgments, as did David his 
father. 

34 Howbeit I will not take the 
whole kingdom out of his hand: 
but I will make him prince all the 
days of his life for David my ser- 
vant's sake, whom I chose, because 
he kept my commandments and 
my statutes: 

35 But I will take the kingdom 
out of his son's hand, and will give 
it unto thee, even ten tribes. 

36 And unto his son will I give 
one tribe, that / David my servant 
may have a 9 light alway before 
me in Jerusalem, the city which I 
have chosen me to put my name 
there. 

37 And I will take thee, and thou 
shalt reign according to all that 
thy soul desireth, and shalt be 
king over Israel. 

38 And it shall be, if thou wilt 
hearken unto all that I command 
thee, and wilt walk in my ways, 
and do that is right in my sight, 
to keep my statutes and my com- 
mandments, as David my servant 
did, that 1 9 will be with thee, and 
build h thee a sure house, as I 
built for David, and will give Israel 
unto thee: 

39 And I will for this afflict the 
seed of David, but not for ever. 

40 Solomon sought therefore to 
kill Jeroboam: and Jeroboam 
arose, and fled into Egypt, unto 
Sbishak king of Egypt, and was in 
Egypt until the death of Solomon. 

41 % And i the rest of the 10 acts 
of Solomon, and all that he did, 
and his wisdom, are they not writ- 
ten in the book of the acts of Solo- 
mon? 

42 And i the n time that Solomon 
reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel

Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in 
Egypt, 

3 That they sent and called him. 
And Jeroboam and all the congre- 
gation of Israel came, and spake 
unto Rehoboam, saying, 

4 Thy father made our d yoke 
grievous: now therefore make thou 
the grievous service of thy father, 
and his heavy yoke which he put 
upon us, lighter, and we will serve 
thee. 

5 And he said unto them, Depart 
yet for three days, then come 
again to me. And the people de- 
parted. 

6 % And king Rehoboam e con- 
sulted with the old men, that stood 
before Solomon his father while 
he yet lived, and said, How do ye 
advise that I may answer this 
people? 

7 And they spake unto him, say- 
ing, / If thou wilt be a servant unto 
this people this day, and wilt serve 
them, andanswer them, and speak 
good words to them, then they 
will be thy servants for ever. 

8 But he forsook the counsel of 
the old men, which they had given 
him, and consulted with the young 
men that were grown up with him, 
and which stood before him: 

9 And he said unto them, What 
counsel give ye that we may an- 
swer this people, who have spoken 
to me, saying, Make the yoke which 
thy father did put upon us lighter? 

10 And the young men that were 
grown up with him spake unto 
him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak 
unto this people that spake unto 
thee, saying, Thy father made our 
yoke heavy, but make thou it 
lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say 
unto them, My 9 little finger shall 
be thicker than my father's loins. 

11 And now whereas my father 
did lade you with a heavy yoke, I 
will add to your yoke: my father 
hath chastised you with whips, but 
I will chastise you with scorpions. 

12 % So Jeroboam and all the 
people came to Rehoboam the 
third day, as the king had ap- 
pointed, saying, Come to me again 
the third day. 

13 And the king answered the 
people x roughly, and forsook the 
old men's counsel that they gave 
him; 

14 And spake to them after the 
counsel of the young men, saying, 
My father made your yoke heavy, 
and I will add to your yoke: my

father also chastised you with 
whips, hut I will chastise you with 
scorpions. 

15 Wherefore the king hearkened 
not unto the people; for h the cause 
was from the Lord, that he might 
perform his saying, which the Lord 
spake * by Ahijah the Shilonite 
unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 

16 If So when all Israel saw that 
the king hearkened not unto them, 
the people answered the king, say- 
ing, 3 What portion have we in 
David? neither have we inheritance 
in the son of Jesse: to your tents, 
Israel: now see to thine own house, 
David. So Israel departed unto 
their tents. 

17 But k as for the children of 
Israel which dwelt in the cities of 
Judah, Eehoboam reigned over 
them. 

18 Then king Eehoboam l sent 
Adoram, who teas over the tribute; 
and all Israel stoned him with 
stones, that he died. Therefore 
king Eehoboam 2 made speed to 
get him up to his chariot, to flee to 
Jerusalem. 

19 So m Israel 3 rebelled against 
the house of David unto this day. 

20 <H And it came to pass, when all 
Israel heard that Jeroboam was 
come again, that they sent and 
called him unto the congregation, 
and made him king over all Israel: 
there was none that followed the 
house of David but the tribe of 
Judah 71 only. 

21 % And when ° Eehoboam was 
come to Jerusalem, he assembled 
all the house of Judab, with the 
tribe of Benjamin, an hundred 
and fourscore thousand chosen 
men, which were warriors, to fight 
against the house of Israel, to bring 
the kingdom again to Eehoboam 
the son of Solomon. 

22 But p the word of God came 
unto Shemaiah the man of God, 
saying, 

23 Speak unto Eehoboam, the son 
of Solomon, king of Judah, and 
unto all the house of Judah and 
Benjamin, and to the remnant of 
the people, saying, 

24 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall 
not go up, nor fight against your 
brethren the children of Israel: 
return every man to his house; for 
this thing is q from me. They 
hearkened therefore to the word of 
the Lord, and returned to depart, 
according to the word of the Lord.

chem in mount Ephraim, and 
dwelt therein; and went out from 
thence, and built 3 Penuel. 

26 if And Jeroboam said in i his 
heart, Now shall the kingdom re- 
turn to the house of David: 

27 If this people M go up to do sac- 
rifice in the house of the Lord at 
Jerusalem, then shall the heart of 
this people turn again unto their 
lord, even unto Eehoboam king of 
Judah, and they shall kill me, and 
go again to Eehoboam king of 
Judah. 

28 Whereupon the king took 
counsel, and made v two calves of 
gold, and said unto them, It is too 
much for you to go up to Jerusalem: 
behold w thy gods, O Israel, which 
brought thee up out of the land of 
Egypt. 

29 And he set the one in x Beth-el, 
and the other put he in y Dan. 

30 And this thing became a" sin: 
for the people went to worship be- 
fore the one, even unto Dan. 

31 And he made an a house of high 
places, and b made priests of the 
lowest of the people, which were 
not of the sons of Levi. 

32 And Jeroboam ordained a 
feast in the eighth month, on the 
fifteenth day of the month, like 
unto c the feast that is in Judah, 
and he * offered upon the altar. 
So did he in Beth-el, 5 sacrificing 
unto the calves that he had made: 
and d he placed in Beth-el the 
priests of the high places which he 
had made. 

33 So he 6 offered upon the altar 
which he had made in Beth-el the 
fifteenth day of the eighth month, 
even in the month which he 6 had 
devised of his own heart; and or- 
dained a feast unto the children 
of Israel: and he offered upon the 
altar, 7 and burnt/ incense.

AND, behold, there a came a man

and 6 Jeroboam stood by the altar 
to 1 burn incense. 
2 And he cried against the altar 
in the word of the Lord, and said, 
O altar, altar! thus saith the Lord,. 
Behold, a child shall be born unto 
the house of David, c Josiah by 
name; and upon thee shall he

that burn incense upon thee, and 
men's bones shall be burnt upon 
thee. 

3 And he gave d a sign the same 
day, saying, This is the sign which 
the Lord hath spoken; Behold, 
the altar shall be rent, and the 
ashes that are upon it shall be 
poured out. 

4 % And it came to pass, when 
king Jeroboam heard the saying 
of the man of God, which had 
cried against the altar in Beth-el, 
that he e put forth his hand from 
the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. 
And his hand, which he put forth 
against him, / dried up, so that he 
could not pull it in again to him. 

5 The altar also was rent, and 
the ashes poured out from the 
altar, according to the sign which 
the man of God had given by the 
word of the Lord. 

6 And the king answered and 
said unto the man of God, 9 En- 
treat now the face of the Lord thy 
God, and pray for me, that my 
hand may be restored me again. 
And the man of God ft besought 
2 the Lord, and the king's hand 
was restored him again, and be- 
came as it was before. 

7 f And the king said unto the 
man of God, Come home with me, 
and refresh thyself, and * I will 
give thee a reward. 

8 And the man of God said unto 
the king, J If thou wilt give me 
half thine house, I will not go in 
with thee, neither will I eat bread 
nor drink water in this place: 

9 For so was it charged me by 
the word of the Lord, saying, k Eat 
no bread, nor drink water, nor 
turn again by the same way that 
thou earnest. 

10 So he went another way, and 
returned not by the way that he 
came to Beth-el. 

11 % Now there dwelt an old 
prophet in Beth-el; and his 3 sons 
came and told him all the works 
that the man of God had done 
that day in Beth-el: the words 
which he had spoken unto the 
king, them they told also to their 
father. 

12 And their father said unto 
them, What way went he? For 
his sons had seen what way the 
man of God went which came 
from Judah. 

13 And he said unto his sons, 
Saddle me the ass. So they saddled 
him the ass: and he rode thereon,

1 14 And went after the man of 
God, and found him sitting under 
an oak: and he said unto him, Art 
thou the man of God that earnest 
from Judah? And he said, I 
am. 

15 Then he said unto him, Come 
home with me, and eat bread. 

16 And he said, I may not return 
with thee, nor go in with thee; 
neither will I eat bread nor drink 
water with thee in this place: 

17 For i it was said to me l by 
the word of the Lord, Thou shalt 
eat no bread nor drink water 
there, nor turn again to go by the 
way that thou earnest. 

18 He m said unto him, I cm a 
prophet also as thou art; and w an 
angel spake unto me by the word 
of the Lord, saying, Bring him 
back with thee into thine house, 
that he may eat bread and drink 
water. Bid he ° lied unto him. 

19 So he went back with him, 
and did eat bread in his house, 
and drank water. 

20 1 And it came to pass, as they 
sat at the table, that the p word of 
the Lord came unto the prophet 
that brought him back: 

21 And he cried unto the man of 
God that came from Judah, say- 
ing, Thus saith the Lord, Foras- 
much as thou hast disobeyed the 
mouth of the Lord, and hast not 
kept the commandment which 
the Lord thy God commanded 
thee, 

22 But earnest back, and hast 
eaten bread and drunk water in 
the place of the which the LORD 
did say to thee, Eat no bread, and 
drink no water; thy carcase shall 
not come unto the sepulchre of 
thy fathers. 

23 ^f And it came to pass, after 
he had eaten bread, and after he 
had drunk, that he saddled for 
him the ass, to wit, for the prophet 
whom he had brought back. 

24 And when he was gone, g a 
lion met him by the way, and 
slew him: and his carcase was cast 
in the way, and the ass stood by 
it, the lion also stood by the 
carcase. 

25 And, behold, men passed by, 
and saw the carcase cast in the 
way, and the lion standing by the 
carcase: and they came and told 
it in the city where the old prophet • 
dwelt. 

26 % And when the prophet that 
brought him back from the way

heard thereof, he said, It is the man 
of God, who was disobedient unto 
the word of the Lord; therefore 
the Lord hath delivered him unto 
the lion, which hath 5 torn him, 
and slain him, according to the 
word of the Lord which he spake 
unto him. 

27 And he spake to his sons, say- 
ing, Saddle me the ass. And they 
saddled him. 

28 And he went and found his 
carcase cast in the way, and the 
ass and the lion standing by the 
carcase: the lion had r not eaten 
the carcase, nor 6 torn the ass. 

29 And the prophet took up the 
carcase of the man of God, and 
laid it upon the ass, and brought 
it back: and the old prophet came 
to the city, to mourn and to bury 
him. 

30 And he laid his carcase in his 
own grave: and they mourned 
over him, saying, Alas, * my 
brother! 

31 And it came to pass, after he 
had buried him, that he spake to 
his sons, saying, When I am dead, 
then bury me in the sepulchre 
wherein the man of God is buried; 
lay * my bones beside his bones: 

32 For M the saying which he 
cried by the word of the Lord 
against the altar in Beth-el, and 
against all the * houses of the high 
places which are in the cities w of 
Samaria, shall surely come to pass. 

33 ^ After * this thing Jeroboam 
returned not from his evil way, 
but 7 made again of the lowest of 
the people priests of the high 
places: whosoever would, he 8 con- 
secrated him, and he became one 
of the priests of the high places. 

34 And y this thing became sin 
unto the house of Jeroboam, even 
to * cut it off, and to destroy it 
from off the face of the earth.

3 And 6 take l with thee ten

he shall tell thee what shall be-

4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, 
and arose, and c went to Shiloh, 
and came to the house of Ahijah. 
But Ahijah could not see; for his 
eyes 4 were set by reason of his age. 

5 $ And d the Lord said unto 
Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jero- 
boam cometh to ask a thing of 
thee for her son; for he is sick: 
thus and thus shalt thou say unto 
her; for it shall be, when she 
cometh in, that she shall feign 
herself to be another woman. 

6 And it was so, when Ahijah 
heard the sound of her feet, as she 
came in at the door, that he said, 
Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; 
why feignest thou thyself to be an- 
other? for I am sent to thee with 
5 heavy tidings. 

7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith 
the Lord God of Israel, e For- 
asmuch as I exalted thee from 
among the people, and made thee 
prince over my people Israel, 

8 And /rent the kingdom away 
from the house of David, and gave 
it thee; and yet thou hast not been 
as my servant David, who ° kept 
my commandments, and who fol- 
lowed me with all his heart, to do 
that only which was right in mine 
eyes; 

9 But hast done evil above all 
that were before thee: h for thou 
hast gone and made thee other 
gods, and molten images, to pro- 
voke me to anger, and * hast cast 
me behind thy back; 

10 Therefore, behold, SI will bring 
evil upon the house of Jeroboam, 
and * will cut off from Jeroboam 
him that pisseth against the wall, 
and l him that is shut up and left 
in Israel, and will take away the 
remnant of the house of Jeroboam, 
as a man taketh away dung, till 
it be all gone. 

11 Him m that dieth of Jeroboam 
in the city shall the dogs eat; and 
him that dieth in the field shall 
the fowls of the air eat: for the 
Lord hath spoken it. 

12 Arise thou therefore, get thee 
to thine own house; and when thy 
feet enter into the city, the child 
shall die. 

13 And all Israel shall mourn for 
him, and bmy him; for he only of 
Jeroboam shall come to the grave,

because in him n there is found 
some good thing toward the Lord 
God of Israel in the house of 
Jeroboam. 

14 Moreover ° the Lord shall 
raise him up a king over Israel, 
who shall cut off the house of 
Jeroboam that day: but what? 
even now. 

15 For the Lord shall smite 
Israel, as a reed is shaken in the 
water, and he shall p root up Israel 
out of this q good land, which he 
gave to their fathers, and shall 
scatter them r beyond the river, 
because s they have made their 
groves, provoking the Lord to 
anger. 

16 And * he shall give Israel up 
because of the sins of Jeroboam, 
who u did sin, and who made 
Israel to sin. 

17 ^ And Jeroboam's wife arose, 
and departed, and came * to 
Tirzah: and when she came to the 
threshold of the door, the child 
died; 

18 And they buried him; and all 
Israel mourned for him, according 
to the word of the Lord, which he 
spake by the hand of his servant 
Ahijah the prophet. 

19 And the rest of the acts of 
Jeroboam, how he w warred, and 
how he reigned, behold, they are 
written in the book of the Chron- 
icles of the kings of Israel. 

20 And the days which Jeroboam 
reigned were two and twenty years: 
and he 6 slept with his fathers;

stead. 

21 ^ And Eehoboam the son of 
Solomon reigned in Judah. Eeho- 
boam was x forty and one years old 
when he began to reign; and he 
reigned seventeen years in Jeru- 
salem, the city v which the Lord 
did choose out of all the tribes of 
Israel, to put his name there. 
And his mother's name was 
Naamah an Ammonitess.

voked him to jealousy with their 
sins which they had committed, 
above all that their fathers had 
done.

of the nations which the Lord 
cast out before the children of 
Israel. 

25 f And /it came to pass, in the 
fifth year of king Eehoboam, that 
Shishak king of Egypt came up 
against Jerusalem: 

26 And 9 he took away the treas- 
ures of the house of the Lord, 
and the treasures of the king's 
house; he even took away all: and 
he took away all the shields of 
gold which n Solomon had mada 

27 And king Eehoboam made in 
their stead brasen shields, and 
committed them unto the hands of 
the chief of the 8 guard, which 
kept the door of the king's house. 

28 And it was so, when the king 
went into the house of the Lord, 
that the guard bare them, and 
brought them back into the guard 
chamber. 

29 ^ Now the rest of the acts of 
Eehoboam, and all that he did, 
are they not written in the book 
of the Chronicles of the kings of 
Judah? 

30 And there was * war between 
Eehoboam and Jeroboam all their 
days. 

31 And Eehoboam slept with his 
fathers, and was buried with his 
fathers in the city of David. And 
his mother's name was Naamah 
an Ammonitess: and Abijam his 
son reigned in his stead. 

CHAPTEE XV. 

1 Abijam's wicked reign over Judah: 9 
Asa's good reign: 23 Jehoshaphat suc- 
ceeds him. 2o Nadab's wicked reign 
over Israel. 33 Baasha's wicked reign. 

NOW in the eighteenth year of 
king Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat reigned Abijam over Ju- 
dah. 

2 Three years reigned he in Jeru- 
salem: and his mother's name 
was a Maachah, the daughter 6 of 
Abishalom. 

3 And he walked in all the sins 
of his father, which he had done 
before him: and his c heart was 
not perfect with the Lord his God, 
as the heart of David his father. 

4 Nevertheless d for David's sake 
did the Lord his God give him a 
1 lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his 
son after him, and to establish 
Jerusalem: 

5 Because David e did that which 
was right in the eyes of the Lord, 
and turned not aside from any 
thing that he commanded him all 
the days of his life, save only 



Asa's reign over Judah.

in the matter of Uriah the 
Hittite. 

6 And there was war "between 
Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the 
days of his life. 

7 Now S the rest of the acts of 
Abijam, and all that he did, are 
they not written in the book of 
the Chronicles of the kings of 
Judah? And there was war be- 
tween Abijam and Jeroboam. 

8 And 9 Abijam slept with his 
fathers; and they buried him in 
the city of David: and Asa his 
son reigned in his stead. 

9 *H And in the twentieth year of. 
Jeroboam king of Israel reigned 
Asa over Judah. 

10 And forty and one years reign- 
ed he in Jerusalem. And his 
2 mother's name was Maachah, the 
daughter of Abishalom. 

11 And ft Asa did that which was 
right in the eyes of the Lord, as 
did David his father. 

12 And * he took away the sodom- 
ites out of the land, and removed 
all the idols that his fathers had 
made. 

13 And also Maachah his mother, 
even $ her he removed from being 
queen, because she had made an 
idol in a grove; and Asa 3 de- 
stroyed her idol, and k burnt it by 
the brook Kidron. 

14 But l the high places were not 
removed; nevertheless Asa's heart 
was perfect with the Lord all his 
days. 

15 And he brought in the i things 
which his father had dedicated, 
and the things which himself had 
dedicated, into the house of the 
Lord, silver, and gold, and ves- 
sels. 

16 IT And there was war between 
Asa and Baasha king of Israel all 
their days. 

17 And m Baasha king of Israel 
went up against Judah, and n built 
Eamah, ° that he might not suffer 
any to go out or come in to Asa 
king of Judah. 

18 Then Asa took all the silver 
and the gold that were left in the 
treasures of the house of the Lord, 
and the treasures of the king's 
house, and delivered them into 
the hand of his servants: and king 
Asa sent them to p Ben-hadad, 
the son of Tabrimon, the son of 
Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt 
at q Damascus, saying, 

19 There is a league between me 
and thee, and between my father

may 5 depart from me. 

20 So Ben-hadad hearkened unto 
king Asa, and sent the captains of 
the host which he had against the 
cities of Israel, and smote r Ijon, 
and s Dan, £ and Abel-beth-ma- 
achah, and all Cinneroth, with all 
the land of Naphtali. 

21 And it came to pass, when 
Baasha heard thereof, that he left 
off building of Bamah, and dwelt 
in Tirzah. 

22 Then M king Asa made a pro- 
clamation throughout all Judah; 
none was 6 exempted: and they 
took away the stones of Eamah, 
and the timber thereof, wherewith 
Baasha had builded; and king Asa 
built with them Geba " of Ben- 
jamin, and w Mizpah. 

23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, 
and all his might, and all that he 
did, and the cities which he built, 
are they not written in the book 
of the Chronicles of the kings of 
Judah? Nevertheless in the time 
of x his old age he was diseased in 
his feet. 

24 And Asa slept with his fathers, 
and was buried with his fathers in 
the city of David his father: y and 
Jehoshaphat z his son reigned in 
his stead. 

25 \ And Nadab the son of Jero- 
boam 7 began to reign over Israel 
in the second year of Asa king of 
Judah, and reigned over Israel two 
years. 

26 And he did evil in the sight of 
the Lord, and walked in the way 
of his father, and in a his sin where- 
with he made Israel to sin. 

27 I And h Baasha the son of 
Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, 
conspired against him: and Baasha 
smote him at c Gibbethon, which 
belonged to the Philistines; for Na- 
dab and all Israel laid siege to 
Gibbethon; 

28 Even in the third year of Asa 
king of Judah did Baasha d slay 
him, and reigned in his stead. 

29 And it came to pass, when he 
reigned, that he smote all the house 
of Jeroboam; he left not to Jero- 
boam any that breathed, until he 
had e destroyed him, . according 
unto the saying of the Lord, which 
he spake by his servant Ahijah the 
Shilonite: 

30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam 



Baasha! s wicked reign.

which he sinned, and which he 
made Israel sin, by his provocation 
wherewith he provoked the Lord 
God of Israel to anger. 

31 % Now the rest of the acts of 
]STadab, and all that he did, are 
they not written in the book of 
the Chronicles of the kings of 
Israel? 

32 And there was war between 
Asa and Baasha king of Israel ah 
their days. 

33 f In the third year of Asa king 
of Judah began Baasha the son of 
Ahijah to reign over all Israel in 
Tirzah, twenty and four years. 

34 And he did evil in the sight of 
the Lord, and walked in /the way 
of Jeroboam, and in his sin where- 
with he made Israel to sin. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

1 Jehu's prophecy against Baasha. 8 
Zimri's conspiracy. 23 Omri builds 
Samaria. 29 Ahab's excessive wicked- 
ness and idolatry. 34 Joshua's curse 
fulfilled upon Hiel the builder of Jericho. 

THEN the word of the Lord 
came to Jehu a the son of 
Hanani against Baasha, saying, 

2 Forasmuch b as I exalted thee 
out of the dust, and made thee 
prince over my people Israel; and 
thou c hast walked in the way of 
Jeroboam, and hast made my 
people Israel to sin, to provoke me 
to anger with their sins; 

3 Behold, I will take away the 
posterity of Baasha, and the pos- 
terity of his house; and will make 
thy house like d the house of Jero- 
boam the son of Nebat. 

4 Him 6 that dieth of Baasha in 
the city shall the dogs eat; and 
him that dieth of his in the fields 
shall the fowls of the air eat. 

5 Now the rest of the acts of 
Baasha, and what he did, and his 
might/ are they not written in the 
book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Israel? 

6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, 
and was buried in 9 Tirzah: and 
Elah his son reigned in his stead. 

7 And also by the hand of the 
prophet Jehu the son of Hanani 
came the word of the Lord against 
Baasha, and against his house, even 
for all the evil that he did in the 
sight of the Loed, in provoking 
him to anger with the A work of 
his hands, in being like the house 
of Jeroboam; and because * he 
killed him.

the son of Baasha to reign over 
Israel in Tirzah, two years. 

9 And i his seivant Zimri, cap- 
tain of half his chariots, conspired 
against him, as he was in Tirzah, 
drinking k himself drunk in the 
house of Arza, x steward of Ms 
house in Tirzah. 

10 And Zimri went in and smote 
him, and killed him, in the twenty 
and seventh year of Asa king of 
Judah, and reigned in his stead. 

11 1f And it came to pass, when 
he began to reign, as soon as he 
sat on his throne, that he slew all 
the house of Baasha: he left him 
not l one that pisseth against a 
wall, 2 neither of his kinsfolks, nor 
of his friends. 

12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the 
house of Baasha, according to the 
word of the Lord, which he spake 
against Baasha 3 by Jehu the pro- 
phet, 

13 For m all the sins of Baasha, 
and the sins of Elah his son, by 
which they sinned, and by which 
they made Israel to sin, in pro- 
voking the Lord God of Israel to 
anger with n their vanities. 

14 Now the rest of the acts of 
Elah, and all that he did, are they 
not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 

] 5 Tf In the twenty and seventh 
year of Asa king of Judah did 
Zimri reign ° seven days in Tirzah. 
And the people were encamped 
against ^Gibbethon, which belonged 
to the Philistines. 

16 And the people that were en- 
camped heard say, Zimri hath 
conspired, and hath also slain the 
king: wherefore all Israel made 
Omri, the captain of the host, king 
over Israel that day in the camp. 

17 And Omri went up from Gib- 
bethon, and all Israel with him, 
and they besieged Tirzah. 

18 And it came to pass, when 
Zimri saw that the city was taken, 
that he went into the palace of 
the long's house, and burnt the 
king's house over him .with fire, 
and q died, 

19 For his sins which he sinned 
in doing evil r in the sight of the 
Lord, * in walking in the way of 
Jeroboam, and in his sin which he 
did, to make Israel to sin. 

20 Now the rest of the acts of 
Zimri, and his treason that he 
wrought, are they not written in 
the book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Israel? 



Omri's wicked reign. 



1 KINGS, XVII. 



Elijah fed by ravens. 



21^[Then were the people of Israel 
divided into { two parts: half of 
the people followed Tibni the son 
of Ginath, to make him king; and 
half followed Omri. 

22 But the people that followed 
Omri prevailed against the people 
that followed Tibni the son of 
Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri 
reigned. 

23 % In the thirty and first year 
of Asa king of Judah began Omri 
to reign over Israel, twelve years: 
six years reigned he in Tirzah. 

24 And he bought the hill Sama- 
ria of Shemer for two talents of 
silver, and built on the hill, and 
called the name of the city which 
he built, after the name of Shemer, 
owner of the hill, 4 Samaria. 

25 % But u Omri wrought evil in 
the ej 7 es of the Lord, and did 
worse than all that were before him. 

26 For he walked in all the way 
of Jeroboam the son of N ebat, and 
in his sin wherewith he made 
Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord 
God of Israel to anger with v their 
vanities. 

27 Now the rest of the acts of 
Omri which he did, and his might 
that he showed, are they not writ- 
ten in the book of the Chronicles 
of the kings of Israel? 

28 So Omri slept with his fathers, 
and was buried in Samaria: and 
Ahab his son reigned in his stead. 

29 If And in the thirty and eighth 
year of Asa king of Judah began 
Ahab the son of Omri to reign 
over Israel: and Ahab the son of 
Omri reigned over Israel in Sama- 
ria twenty and two years. 

30 And Ahab the son of Omri did 
evil in the sight of the Lord above 
all that were before him. 

31 And it came to pass, 5 as if it 
had been a light thing for him to 
walk in the sins of Jeroboam the 
son of Nebat, w that he took to wife 
Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, 
king of the x Zidonians, y and went 

i and served Baal, and worshipped 
him. 

32 And he reared up an altar for 
Baal in the z house of Baal,, which 
he had built in Samaria. 

33 And a Ahab made a grove; 
and Ahab did h more to provoke 
the Lord God of Israel to anger 
than all the kings of Israel that 
were before him.

Lord God of Israel liveth, before

2 And the word of the Lord came 
unto him, saying, 

3 Get thee hence, and turn thee 
eastward, and hide thyself by the 
brook Cherith, that is before Jor- 
dan. 

4 And it shall be, that thou shalt 
drink of the brook; and 6 1 have 
commanded the ravens to feed 
thee there. 

5 So he went and did according 
unto the word of the Lord: for 
he went and dwelt by the brook 
Cherith, thatw before Jordan. 

6 And the ravens brought him 
bread and flesh in the morning, 
and bread and flesh in the even- 
ing; and he drank of the brook. 

7 And it came to pass 2 after a 
while, that the brook dried up, 
because there had been no rain in 
the land.

came unto him, saying, 

9 Arise, get thee t to Zarephath, 
which behngeth to Zidon, and dwell 
there: behold, I have commanded 
a widow woman there to sustain 
thee. 

10 So he arose and went to Zare- 
phath. And when he came to 
the gate of the city, behold, the 
widow woman teas there gathering 
of sticks: and he called to her, and 
said, s Fetch me, I pray thee, a 
little water in a vessel, that I may 
drink. 

11 And as she was going to fetch 
it, he called to her, and said, Bring 
me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread 
in thine hand. 

12 And she said, As the Lord thy 
God liveth, I have not ft a cake, 
but an handful of meal in a barrel,

Elijah raiseth the widow's son. 1 KINGS, XVIII. 



He meets Obadiak. 



13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear 
not; go and do as thou hast said: 
but 3 make me thereof a little cake 
first, and bring it unto me, and 
after make for thee and for thy son: 

14 For thus saith the Lord God 
of Israel, h The barrel of meal shall 
not waste, neither shall the cruse 
of oil fail, until the day that the 
Lord 3 sendeth rain upon the earth. 

15 And she went, and l did ac- 
cording to the saying of Elijah: 
and she, and he, and her house, 
did eat 4 many days. 

16 And m the ban-el of meal 
wasted not, neither did the cruse 
of oil fail, according to the word 
of the Lord, which he spake 5 by 
Elijah. 

17 % And it came to pass, after 
these things, that the son of the 
woman, the mistress of the house, 
fell sick; and his sickness was so 
sore, that there was no breath 
left in him. 

18 And she said unto Elijah, 
What n have I to do with thee, 
thou man of God? art thou come 
unto me to call my sin to remem- 
brance, and to slay my son? 

19 And he said unto her, Give 
me thy son. And he took him 
out of her bosom, and carried him 
up into a loft, where he abode, 
and laid him upon his own bed. 

20 And he ° cried unto the Lord, 
and said, Lord my God, hast 
thou also brought evil upon the 
widow with whom I sojourn, by 
slaying her son? 

21 And v he 6 stretched himself 
upon the child three times, and 
cried unto the Lord, and said, 
Lord my God, I pray thee, let this 
child's soul come 7 into him again. 

22 And the Lord * heard the 
voice of Elijah; and the soul of the 
child came into him again, and 
he r revived. 

23 And Elijah took the child, 
and brought him down out of the 
chamber into the house, and' de- 
livered him unto his mother: and 
Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. 

24 And the woman said to 
Elijah, Now by this s I know that 
thou art a man of God, and that 
the word of the Lord in thy mouth 
is truth.

[ the Lord came to Elijah in the 
third year, saying, Go, show thy- 
self unto Ahab; and h I will send 
rain upon the earth. 

2 And Elijah went to show him- 
self unto Ahab. And there was a 
sore famine in Samaria. 

3 And Ahab called 1 Obadiah, 
which was 2 the governor of his 
house. (Now Obadiah "feared 
the Lord greatly; 

4 For it was so, when 3 Jezebel 
cut off the prophets of the Lord, 
that Obadiah took an hundred 
prophets, and hid them by fifty in 
a cave, and d fed them with bread 
and water.) 

5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, 
Go into the land, unto all fountains 
of water, and unto all brooks; 
peradventure we may find grass 
to save the horses and mules alive, 
4 that we lose not all the beasts. 

6 So they divided the land be- 
tween them, to pass throughout 
it: Ahab went one way by himself, 
and Obadiah went another way 
by himself. 

7 1f And as Obadiah was in the 
way, behold, Elijah met him: and 
he knew him, and fell on his face, 
and said, Art thou that my lord 
Elijah? 

8 And he answered him, I am: 
go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is 
here. 

9 And he said, What have I 
sinned, that thou w T ouldest deliver 
thy servant into the hand of Ahab, 
to slay me? 

10 As the Lord thy God liveth, 
there is no nation or kingdom 
whither my lord hath not sent to 
seek thee: and when they said, He 
is not there, he took an oath of the 
kingdom and nation, that they 
found thee not. 

11 And now thou say est, Go, 
tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is 
here. 

12 And it shall come to pass, as 
soon as I am gone from thee, that 
the e Spirit of the Lord shall carry 
thee whither I know not; and so 
when I come and tell Ahab, and 
he cannot find thee, he shall slay 
me: but I thy servant fear the 
Lord from my youth. 

1 3 Was it not told my lord what 
I did when Jezebel slew the pro- 
phets of the Lord, how I hid an 
hundred men of the Lord's pro- 
phets by fifty in a cave, and fed 
them with bread and water? 

14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell

ihy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: 
and he shall slay me. 

15 And Elijah said, As the Lord 
of hosts liveth, before whom I 
stand, I will surely show myself 
unto him. to-day. 

16 So Obadiah went to meet 
Ahab, and told him: and Ahab 
went to meet Elijah. 

17 ^f And it came to pass, when 
Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said 
unto him, / Art thou he ? that 
troubleth Israel? 

18 And he answered, I have not 
troubled Israel; but thou, and thy 
father's house, in h that ye have 
forsaken the commandments of 
the Lord, and thou hast followed 
Baalim. 

19 Now therefore send, and gather 
to me all Israel unto mount * Car- 
mel, and the prophets of Baal four 
hundred and fifty, and •>' the pro- 
phets of the groves four hundred, 
which eat at Jezebel's table. 

20 So Ahab sent unto all the 
children of Israel, and h gathered 
the prophets together unto mount 
Carmel. 

21 \ And Elijah came unto all 
the people, and said, l How long 
halt ye between two 5 opinions? 
If the Lord be God, follow him: 
but if Baal, m then follow him. 
And the people answered him not 
a word. 

22 Then said Elijah unto the 
people, n I, even I only, remain a 
prophet of the Lord; but Baal's 
prophets are four hundred and 
fifty men. 

23 Let them therefore give us 
two bullocks; and let them choose 
one bullock for themselves, and 
cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, 
and put no fire under: and I will 
dress the other bullock, and lay it 
on wood, and put no fire under: 

24 And call ye on the name of 
your gods, and I will call on the 
name of the Lord; and the God 
that ° answereth by fire, let him 
be God. And all the people an- 
swered and said, 6 It is well spoken. 

25 And Elijah said unto the pro- 
phets of Baal, Choose you one 
bullock for yourselves, and dress it 
first; for ye are many; and call on 
the name of your gods, but put no 
fire under. 

26 And they took the bullock 
which was given them, and they 
dressed it, and called on the name 
of Baal from morning even until 
noon, saying, Baal, 7 hear us!

But there was v no voice, nor any 
that 8 answered. And they 9 leaped 
upon the altar which was made. 

27 And it came to pass at noon, 
that Elijah mocked them, and 
said, Cry 10 aloud; for he is a god: 
either 1X he is talking, or he 12 is 
pursuing, or he is in a journey, or 
peradventure he sleepeth, and 
must be awaked. 

28 And they cried aloud, and 
cut q themselves, after their man- 
ner, with knives and lancets, till 

13 the blood gushed out upon them. 

29 And it came to pass, when 
mid-day was past, r and they pro- 
phesied until the time of the 

14 offering of the evening sacrifice, 
that there was neither voice, nor 
any to answer, nor any 15 that 
regarded. 

30 And Elijah said unto all the 
people, Come near unto me. And 
all the people came near unto him: 
and he repaired the altar of the 
Lord that was broken down. 

31 And Elijah took twelve stones, 
according to the number of the 
tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto 
whom the word of the Lord 
came, saying, * Israel shall be thy 
name; 

32 And with the stones he built 
an altar in ' the name of the Lord: 
and he made a trench about the 
altar, as great as would contain 
two measures of seed. 

33 And he M put the wood in 
order, and cut the bullock in 
pieces, and laid him on the wood, 
and said, Fill four barrels with 
water, and " pour it on the burnt 
sacrifice, and on the wood. 

34 And he said, Do it the second 
time: and they did it the second 
time. And he said, Do it the third 
time: and they did it the third 
time. 

35 And the water 15 ran round 
about the altar; and he filled the 
trench also with water. 

36 And it came to pass at *° the 
time of the offering of the evening 
sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet 
came near, and said, x Lord God 
of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, 
let y it be known this day that 
thou art God in Israel, and that I 
am thy servant, and that * I have 
done all these things at thy word. 

37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me; 
that this people may know that 
thou art the Lord God, and that 
thou hast ° turned their heart 
back again.

1 KINGS, XIX. Elijah comforted by an «ngel. 



38 Then b the fire of the Lord 
fell, and consumed the burnt sac- 
rifice, and the wood, and the 
stones, and the dust, and licked 
up the water that was in the 
trench. 

39 And when all the people saw 
it, they fell on their faces; and 
they said, The Lord, he is the 
God! the Lord, he is the God! 

40 And Elijah said unto them, 
17 Take the prophets of Baal; let 
not one of them escape. And 
they took them; andElijah brought 
them down to the brook Kishon, 
and c slew them there. 

41 ^ And Elijah said unto Ahab, 
Get thee up, eat and drink; for 
there is 13 a sound of abundance of 
rain. 

42 So Ahab went up to eat and 
to drink: and Elijah went up to 
the top of Carmel; and he d cast 
himself down upon the earth, and 
put his face between his knees, 

43 And said to his servant, Go 
up now, look toward the sea. 
And he went up, and looked, and 
said, There is nothing. And he 
said, Go 6 again seven times. 

44 And it came to pass at the 
seventh time, that he said, Behold, 
there ariseth a little cloud out of 
the sea, like a man's hand. And 
he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, 

19 Prepare thy chariot, and get thee 
down, that the rain stop thee not. 

45 And it came to pass in the 
mean while, that the heaven was 
black with clouds and wind, and 
there was a great rain. And Ahab 
rode, and went to Jezreel. 

46 And / the hand of the Loed 
was on Elijah; and he girded up 
his loins, and ran before Ahab 

20 to the entrance of Jezreel.

AND Ahab told Jezebel all that 
Elijah had done, and withal 
how he had slain a all the prophets 
with the sword. 

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger 
unto Elijah, saying, b So let the 
gods do to me, and more also, if I 
make not thy life as the life of one 
of them by c to-morrow about this 
time. 

3 And when he saw that, he arose, 
and went for his life, and came 
to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to 
Judah, and left his servant there.

4 qf But he himself went a day's 
journey into the wilderness, & nd 
came and sat down under a juni- 
per tree: and he d requested x for 
himself that he might die; and 
said, It is enough; now, O Lord, 
take away my life; for I am not 
better than my fathers. 

5 And as he lay and slept under 
a juniper tree, behold, then 6 an 
angel touched him, and Eaid unto 
him, Arise and eat. 

6 And he looked, and, behold, 
there was a cake baken on the coals, 
and a cruse of water at his 2 head: 
and he did eat and drink, and 
laid him down again. 

7 And the angel of the Lord 
came again the second time, and 
touched him, and said, Arise and 
eat; because the journey is too 
great for thee. 

8 And he arose, and did eat and 
drink, and went in the strength of 
that meat /forty days and forty 
nights unto ° Horeb the mount of 
God. 

9 f And he came thither h unto 
a cave, and lodged there; and, 
behold, the word of the Lord came 
to him, and he said unto him, 
What doest thou here, Elijah? 

10 And he said, * I have been 
very 3 jealous for the Lord God of 
hosts: for the children of Israel 
have forsaken thy covenant, 
thrown down thine altars, h and 
slain thy prophets with the sword; 
and 1 1, even I only, am left; and 
they seek my life, to take it away. 

11 And he said, Go forth, and 
stand m upon the mount before 
the Lord. And, behold, the Lord 
passed by, and n a great and strong 
wind rent the mountains, and 
brake in pieces the rocks, before 
the Lord; but the Lord was not in 
the wind: and after the wind an 
earthquake; but the Lord was not 
in the earthquake: 

12 And after the earthquake a 
fire; but the Lord was not in the 
fire: and after the fire a ° still small 
voice. 

13 And it was so, when Elijah 
heard it, that 1 ' he wrapped his face 
in his mantle, and went out,' and 
stood in the entering in of the 
cave. And, behold, there came a 
voice unto him, and said, "What 
doest thou here, Elijah? 

14 And he said, I have been veiy 
jealous for the Lord God of hosts: 
because the children of Israel have 
forsaken thy covenant, thrown

down thine altars, and slain thy 
prophets with the sword; and I, 
even I only, am left; and they seek 
my life, to take it away. 

15 And the Lord said unto him, 
Go, return on thy way to the wil- 
derness of Damascus: 2 and when 
thou comest, anoint Hazael to be 
kiDg over Syria: 

16 And r Jehu the son of Nimshi 
shalt thou anoint to be king over 
Israel: and £ Elisha the son of Sha- 
phat, of Ahel-meholah, shalt thou 
anoint to be prophet in thy room. 

17 And <■ it shall come to pass, that 
him that escapeth the sword of 
Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him 
that escapeth from the sword of 
Jehu M shall Elisha slay. 

18 Yet 3 I " have left me seven 
thousand in Israel, all the knees 
which have not bowed unto Baal, 
and w every mouth which hath 
not kissed him. 

19 \ So he departed thence, and 
found Elisha the son of Shaphat, 
who was ploughing wrt h twelve yoke 
of oxen before him, and he with 
the twelfth: and Elijah passed by 
him, and cast his mantle upon 
him. 

20 And he left the oxen, and ran 
after Elijah, and said, Let me, I 
pray thee, kiss my father and my 
mother, and then 1 will follow thee. 
And he said unto him, 4 Go back 
again: for what have I done to 
thee? 

21 And he returned back from 
him, and took a yoke of oxen, and 
slew them, and boiled x their flesh 
with the instruments of the oxen, 
and gave unto the people, and they 
did eat. Then y he arose, and 
went after Elijah, and z ministered 
unto him.

not unto him, nor consent. 

9 Wherefore he said unto the 
messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my 
lord the king, All that thou didst 
send for to thy servant at the first 
I will do: but this thing I may not 
do. And the messengers departed, 
and brought him word again. 

10 And Ben-hadad sent unto him, 
and said, d The gods do so unto 
me, and more also, if the dust of 
Samaria shall suffice for handfuls 
for aU the people that 3 follow me. 

11 And the king of Israel answer- 
ed and said, Tell him, e Let not him 
that girdeth on his harness boast 
himself as he that putteth it off. 

12 And it came to pass, when 
Ben-hadad heard this 4 message, as 
he was / drinking, he and the kings 
in the 6 pavilions, that he said unto 
his servants, 6 Set yourselves in ar- 
ray: and they set themselves in array 
against the city. 

13 % And, behold, there 7 came a 
prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, 
saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast 
thou seen all this great multitude? 
behold, 1 will deliver it into thine 
hand this, day; and 9 thou shalt 
know that I am the Lord. 

14 And Ahab said, By whom? 
And he said, Thus saith the Lord, 
Even by the 8 young men of the 
princes of the provinces. Then he 
said, Who shall 9 order the battle? 
And he answered, Thou. 



The Syrians defeated. 



1 KINGS, XX. Ahab sends away Ben-hadad. 



15 Then he numbered the young 
men of the princes of the provinces, 
and they were two hundred and 
thirty-two; and after them he 
numbered all the people, even all 
the children of Israel, bang seven 
thousand. 

16 And they went out at noon: 
but Ben-hadad was h drinking him- 
self drunk in the pavilions, he and 
the kings, the thirty and two kings 
that helped him. 

17 And the young men of the 
princes of the provinces went out 
first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and 
they told him, saying, There are 
men come out of Samaria. 

18 And he said, * Whether they 
be come out for peace, take them 
alive; or whether they be come 
out for war, take them alive. 

19 So these young men of the 
princes of the provinces came out 
of the city, and the army which 
followed them. 

20 And they slew every one his 
man: and the Syrians i fled, and 
Israel pursued them; and h Ben- 
hadad the king of Syria escaped 
on an horse with the horsemen. 

21 And the king of Israel went 
out, and smote the horses and 
chariots, and slew the Syrians with 
a great slaughter. 

22 % And the prophet came to 
the king of Israel, and said unto 
him, Go, strengthen thyself, and 
mark, and see what thou doest: 
for * at the return of the year the 
king of Syria will come up against 
thee. 

23 And the servants of the lung 
of Syria said unto him, m Their 
gods are gods of the hills; therefore 
they were stronger than we ; but 
let us fight against them in the 
plain, and surely we shall be 
stronger than they. 

24 And do this thing; n Take the 
kings away, every man out of his 
place, and put captains in their 
rooms: 

25 And number thee an army 
like the army that 10 thou hast 
lost, horse for horse, and chariot 
for m chariot; and we will fight 
against them in the plain, and 
surely we shall be stronger than 
they. And he hearkened unto 
then voice, and did so. 

26 And it came to pass at the re- 
turn of the year, that Ben-hadad 
numbered the Syrians, and went 
up to ° Aphek, n to fight against

27 And the children of Israel were 
numbered, and 12 were all present, 
and went against them: and the 
children of Israel pitched before 
them like two little flocks of kids; 
but the Syrians^ filled the country. 

28 \ And there came a man of 
God, and spake unto the king of 
Israel, and said, Thus saith the 
Lord, q Because the Syrians have 
said, The Lobd is God of the hills, 
but he is not God of the valleys, 
therefore will I deliver all this 
great multitude into thine hand; 
and ye shall know that I am the 
Lord. 

29 And they pitched one over 
against the other seven days: and 
so it was, that in the seventh day 
the battle was joined: and the 
children of Israel slew of the Syri- 
ans an hundred thousand footmen 
in one day. 

30 But the rest fled to Aphek, 
into the city; and there a wall fell 
upon twenty and seven thousand 
of the men that were left. And 
Ben-hadad fled, and came into 
the city, 13 into an inner chamber. 

31 ^| And his servants said unto 
him, Behold now, we have heard 
that the kings of the house of 
Israel are merciful kings: let us, I 
pray thee, r put sackcloth on our 
loins, and ropes upon our heads, 
and go out to the king of Israel: 
peradventure he will save thy life. 

32 So they girded sackcloth on 
their loins, and put ropes on their 
heads, and came to the king of 
Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben- 
hadad saith, I pray thee, let me 
live. And he said, Is he yet alive? 
he is my brother. 

33 Now the men did diligently 
observe whether any thing would 
come from him, and did hastily 
catch it: and they said, Thy bro- 
ther Ben-hadad. Then he said, 
Go ye, bring him. Then Ben- 
hadad came forth to him; and he 
caused him to come up into the 
chariot. 

34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, 
The s cities which my father took 
from thy father I will restore; and 
thou shalt make streets for thee in 
Damascus, as my father made in 
Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will 
send thee away with this cove- 
nant. So ? he made a covenant 
with him, and sent him away. 

35 ^f And a certain man of w the 
sons of the prophets said unto his 
neighbour " in the word of the

Naboth stoned to death. 



Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. 
And the man refused to smite 
him. 

36 Then said he unto him, Be- 
cause thou hast not obeyed the 
voice of the Lord, behold, as soon 
as thou art departed from me, a 
lion shall slay thee. And as soon as 
he was departed from him, w a lion 
found him, and slew him. 

37 Then he foimd another man, 
and said, Smite me, I pray thee. 
And the man smote him, u so that 
in smiting he wounded him. 

38 So the prophet departed, and 
waited for the king by the way, 
and disguised himself with ashes 
upon his face. 

39 And x as the king passed by, 
he cried unto the king: and 2 ' he 
said, Thy servant went out into 
the midst of the battle; and, be- 
hold, a man turned aside, and 
brought a man unto me, and said, 
Keep this man: if by any means 
he be missing, then * shall thy life 
be for his life, or else thou shalt 
15 pay a talent of silver. 

40 And as thy servant was busy 
here and there, ld he was gone. 
And the king of Israel said unto 
him, a So shall thy judgment be; 
thyself hast decided it. 

41 And he hasted, and took the 
ashes away from his face; and the 
king of Israel discerned him that 
he was of the prophets. 

42 And he said unto him, Thus 
saith the Lord, h Because thou 
hast let go out of thy hand a man 
1T whom I appointed to utter de- 
struction, therefore thy life shall 
go for his life, and thy people for 
his people. 

43 And the king of Israel c went 
to his house heavy and displeased, 
and came to Samaria. 

CHAPTER XXI. 

1 Naboth refuses Ahab his vineyard: 5

AND it came to pass after these 
things, that Naboth the Jez- 
reelite had a vineyard, which was 
in a Jezreel, hard by the palace of 
Ahab king of Samaria. 
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, 
saying, b Give me thy c vineyard, 
that I may have it for a garden of 
herbs, because it is near unto my 
house: and I will give thee for it a 
better vineyard than it; or, if it 
1 seem good to thee, I will give thee 
the worth of it in money.

3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The 
Lord forbid it me, d that I should 
give the inheritance of my fathers 
unto thee. 

4 And Ahab came into his house 
heavy and displeased because of 
the word which Naboth the Jez- 
reelite had spoken to him; for 
he had said, I will not give thee 
the inheritance of my fathers: and 
he laid him down upon his bed, 
and turned away his face, and 
would eat no bread. 

5 % But Jezebel lus wife came to 
him, and said unto him, Why is 
thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest 
no bread? 

6 And he said unto her, Because 
I spake unto Naboth the Jezreel- 
ite, and said unto him, Give me 
thy vineyard for money; or else, 
if it please thee, I will give thee 
another vineyard for it: and he 
answered, I will not give thee my 
vineyard. 

ft And Jezebel his wife said unto 
him, Dost thou e now govern the 
kingdom of Israel? Arise, and 
eat bread, and let thine heart be 
merry: I /will give thee the vine- 
yard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 

8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's 
name, and sealed them with his 
seal, and sent the letters unto the 
elders and to the nobles that 
tvere in his city dwelling with 
Naboth. 

9 And she wrote in the letters, 
saying, 2 Proclaim a fast, and set 
Naboth 3 on high a^mong the 
people; 

10 And set two men, 9 sons of 
Belial, before him, to bear witness 
against him, saying, Thou h didst 
blaspheme God and the king: and 
then carry him out, and * stone 
him, that he may die. 

11 And the men of his city, even 
the elders and the nobles who 
were the inhabitants in his city, 
did as Jezebel had sent unto them, 
and as it was written in the 
letters which she had sent unto 
them; 

12 They i proclaimed a fast, and 
set Naboth on high among the 
people. 

13 And there came in two men, 
children of Belial, and sat before 
him: and the men of Belial wit- 
nessed against him, even against 
Naboth, in the presence of the 
people, saying, Naboth did blas- 
pheme God and the king. k Then 
they carried him forth out of the

city, and stoned him with stones, 
that he died. 

14 Then they sent to Jezehel, 
saying, Naboth is stoned, and is 
dead. 

15 1[ And it came to pass, when 
Jezehel heard that Naboth was 
stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel 
said to Ahab, Arise, take posses- 
sion of the vineyard of Naboth the 
Jezreelite, which he refused to give 
thee for money: for Naboth is not 
alive, but dead. 

16 And it came to pass, when 
Ahab heard that Naboth was 
dead, that Ahab rose up to go 
down to the vineyard of Naboth 
the Jezreelite, to take possession 
of it. 

17 ^[ And l the word of the Lord 
came to Elijah theTishbite, saying, 

18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab 
king of Israel, m which is in Sama- 
ria: behold, he is in the vineyard 
of Naboth, whither he has gone 
down to possess it. 

19 And thou shalt speak unto 
him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, 
Hast w thou killed, and also taken 
possession? And thou shalt speak 
unto him, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord, °In the place where dogs 
licked the blood of Naboth shall 
dogs lick thy blood, even thine. 

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast 
thou found me, p mine enemy? 
And he answered, I have found 
thee; because 2 thou hast sold thy- 
self to work evil in the sight of 
the Lord. 

21 Behold, I r will bring evil upon 
thee, and will take away thy pos- 
terity, and will cut off from Ahab 
him * that pisseth against the wall, 
and him ' that is shut up and left 
in Israel, 

22 And will make thine house 
like the house of u Jeroboam the 
son of Nebat, and like the house 
of " Baasha the son of Ahijah, for 
the provocation wherewith thou 
hast provoked me to anger, and 
made Israel to sin. 

23 And w of Jezebel a]so spake 
] the Lord, saying, The dogs shall 

eat Jezebel by the i wall of Jezreel. 

24 Him * that dieth of Ahab in 
the city the dogs shall eat; and 
him that dieth in the field shall 
the fowls of the air eat. 

25 But y there was none like unto 
Ahab, which did sell himself to 
work wickedness in the sight of 
the Lord, z whom Jezebel his wife 
5 stirred up.

26 And he did very abominably 
in following idols, according to all 
things ° as did the Amorites, whom 
the Lord cast out before the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

27 And it came to pass, when 
Ahab heard those words, that he 
rent his clothes, and put h sack- 
cloth upon his flesh, and fasted, 
and lay in sackcloth, and went 
softly. 

28 And the word of the Lord 
came to Elijah the Tishbite, 
saying, 

29 Seest thou how Ahab c hum- 
bleth himself before me? Because 
he humbleth himself before me, I 
will not bring the evil in his days; 
but d in his son's days will I bring

1 Ahab slain at JRamoth-gilead. 37 Ahaz- 
iah succeeds Mm. 41 Jehoshaphat' s 
good reign over Judah. 51 Ahaziah's 
evil reign over Israel. 

AN D they continued three years 
without war between Syria 
and Israel. 

2 And it came to pass in the 
third year, that ° Jehoshaphat the 
king of Judah came down to the 
king of Israel. 

3 And the king of Israel said 
unto his servants, Know ye l that 
Bamoth in Gilead is ours, and 
we be 1 still, and take it not out 
of the hand of the king of 
Syria? 

4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, 
Wilt thou go with me to battle to 
Bamoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat 
said to the king of Israel, c I am as 
thou art, my people as thy people, 
my horses as thy horses. 

5 % And Jehoshaphat said unto 
the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray 
thee, at the word of the Lord 
to-day. 

6 Then the king of Israel d gath- 
ered the prophets together, about 

2 four hundred men, and said unto 
them. Shall I go against Ramoth- 
gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? 
And they said, Go up; for the 
Lord shall deliver it into the hand 
of the king. 

7 And 6 Jehoshaphat said, Is there 
not here a prophet of the Lord 
besides, that we might enquire of 
him? 

8 And the king of Israel said 
unto Jehoshaphat, / There is yet 
one man, Micaiah the son of 
Imlah, by whom we may enquire 
of the Lord: but 9 1 hate him; for

is slain at Ramoth-gilead, 



he doth not prophesy good con-

hoshaphat said, Let not the king 
say so. 

9 Then the king of Israel called 
an 3 officer, and said, Hasten hither 
Micaiah the son of Imlah. 

10 And the king of Israel and 
Jehoshaphat the king of Judah 
sat each on his throne, having put 
on their robes, in a 4 void place in 
the entrance of the gate of Sama- 
ria; and all the prophets prophesied 
before them. 

11 And Zedekiah the son of 
Chenaanah made him horns of 
iron; and he said, Thus saith the 
Lord, With these shalt thou push 
the Syrians, until thou have con- 
sumed them. 

12 And all the prophets prophe- 
sied so, saying, h Go up to Ramoth- 
gilead, and prosper: for the Lord 
shall deliver it into the king's 
hand. 

13 And the messenger that was 

gone to call Micaiah spake unto 
im, saying, Behold now, the 
words of the prophets declare good 
unto the king with one mouth: let 
thy word, I pray thee, be like the 
word of one of them, and speak that 
which is good. 

14 And Micaiah said, As the 
Lord liveth, what * the Lord saith 
unto me, that will I speak. 

15 So he came to the king. And 
the king said unto him, Micaiah, 
shall we go against Ramoth-gilead 
to battle, or shall we forbear? 
And he answered him, Go, and 
prosper: for the Lord shall deliver 
it into the hand of the king. 

16 And the king said unto him, 
How many times shall I adjure 
thee that thou tell me nothing but 
that which is true in the name of 
the Lord? 

17 And he said, I saw all Israel 
scattered 3 upon the hills, as sheep 
that have not a shepherd: and the 
Lord said, These have no master; 
let them return every man to his 
house in peace. 

18 And the king of Israel said 
unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell 
thee that he would prophesy no 
good concerning me, but evil? 

19 And he said, Hear thou there- 
fore the word of the Lord: * I saw 
the Lord sitting on his throne, 
and l all the host of heaven stand- 
ing by him on his right hand and 
on his left.

6 persuade Ahab, that he may go 
up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? 
And one said on this manner, and 
another said on that manner. 

21 And there came forth a spirit, 
and stood before the Lord, and 
said, I will persuade him. 

22 And the Lord said unto him, 
Wherewith? And he said, I will 
go forth, and I will be a lying 
spirit in the mouth of all his pro- 
phets. And he said, m Thou shalt 
persuade him, and prevail also: go 
forth, and do so. 

23 Now n therefore, behold, the 
Lord hath put a lying spirit in 
the mouth of all these thy pro- 
phets, and the Lord hath spoken 
evil concerning thee. 

24 % But Zedekiah the son of 
Chenaanah went near, and ° smote 
Micaiah on the cheek, and said, 
Which p way went the Spirit of 
the Lord from me to speak unto 
thee? 

25 And Micaiah said, Behold, 
thou shalt see in that day, when 
thou shalt go 6 into 7 an inner 
chamber to hide thyself. 

26 And the king of Israel said, 
Take Micaiah, and carry him 
back unto Amon the governor of 
the city, and to Joash the king's 
son; 

27 And say, Thus saith the king, 
Put this fellow in the prison, and 
feed him with bread of affliction, 
and with water of affliction, until j 
I come in peace. 

28 And Micaiah said, If thou re- I 
turn at all in peace, 2 the Lord j 
hath not spoken by me. And he j 
said, Hearken, O people, every 
one of you. 

29 So the king of Israel and ■ 
Jehoshaphat the king of Judah 
went up to Ramoth-gilead. 

30 And the king of Israel saia j 
unto Jehoshaphat, 8 1 will disguise I 
myself, and enter into the battle; 
but put thou on thy robes. And 
the king of Israel r disguised him- 
self, and went into the battle. 

31 But the king of Syria com- 
manded his thirty and two cap- 
tains, that had rule over his 
chariots, saying, Fight neither 
with small nor great, save only 
with the king of Israel. 

32 And it came to pass, when the 
captains of the chariots saw Je- 
hoshaphat, that they said, Surely 
it is the king of Israel. And they 
turned aside to fight against him: 
and Jehoshaphat 6 cried out. 



Jehoshaphat succeeds Asa. 



1 KINGS, xxn. 



Ahaziah's reign over Israel. 



33 And it came to pass, when the 
captains of the chariots perceived 
that it was not the king of Israel, 
that they turned back from pur- 
suing him. 

34 f And a certain man drew a 
bow 9 at a venture, and smote the 
king of Israel between the 10 joints 
of the harness: wherefore he said 
unto the driver of his chariot, 
Turn thine hand, and carry me out 
of the host ; for I am u wounded. 

35 And the battle 12 increased 
that day; and the king was stayed 
up in his chariot against the 
Syrians, and died at even: and 
the blood ran out of the wound 
into the 13 midst of the chariot. 

36 And there went a proclama- 
tion throughout the host about 
the going down of the sun, saying, 
Every man to his city, and every 
man to his own country. 

37 So the king died, and u was 
brought to Samaria; and they 
buried the king in Samaria. 

38 And one washed the chariot in 
the pool of Samaria; and the dogs 
licked up his blood; and they 
washed his armour; * according 
unto the word of the Lord which 
he spake. 

39 Now the rest of the acts of 
Ahab, and all that he did, and 
the M ivory house which he made, 
and all the cities that he built, are 
they not written in the book of 
the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; 
and Ahaziah his son reigned in 
his stead. 

41 ^ And v Jehoshaphat the son of 
Asa began to reign over Judah in the 
fourth year of Ahab king of Israel 

42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and 
five years old when he began to 
reign; and he reigned twenty and 
five years in Jerusalem: and his 
mother's name ivas Azubah the 
daughter of Shilhi.

3 But the angel of the Lord said 
to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go 
up to meet the messengers of the 
king of Samaria, and say unto 
them, d Is it not because there is 
not a God in Israel, that ye go 
to enquire of Baal-zebub the god 
ofEkron? 

4 Now therefore thus saith the 
Lord, 2 Thou shalt not come down 
from that bed on which thou art 
gone up, * but shalt surely die. 
And Elijah departed. 

5 1f And when the messengers 
turned back unto him, he said unto 
them, Why are ye now turned 
back? 

6 And they said unto him, There 
came a man up to meet us, and said 
unto us, Go, turn again unto the 
king that sent you, and say unto 
him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not 
because there is not a God in Israel, 
that thou sendest to enquire of 
Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? 
therefore thou shalt not come 
down from that bed on which 
thou art gone up, but shalt 'surely 
die. 

7 And he said unto them, 3 What 
manner of man was he which came 
up to meet you, and told you these 
words? 

8 And they answered him, He 
was 9 an hairy man, and girt with 
a girdle of leather about his loins. 
And he said, It is Elijah the Tish- 
bite. 

9 Then the king A sent unto him 
a captain of fifty with his fifty. 
And he went up to him; and, be- 
hold, he sat on the top of an hill. 
And he spake unto him, Thou 
man * of God, the king hath said, 
Come down. 

10 And Elijah answered and said 
to the captain of fifty, If I be a 
man of God, then let *' fire come 
down from heaven, and consume 
thee and thy fifty. And there 
came down fire from heaven, and 
consumed him and his fifty. 

11 Again k also he sent unto him 
another captain of fifty with his 
fifty. And he answered and said 
unto him, man of God, thus 
hath the king said, Come down 
quickly. 

12 And Elijah answered and said 
unto them, If I be a man of God, 
let fire come down from heaven, 
and consume thee and thy fifty. 
And the fire of God came down

13 And he sent l again a captain 
of the third fifty with his fifty. 
And the third captain of fifty 
went up, and came and 4 fell on 
his knees before Elijah, and be- 
sought him, and said unto him, O 
man of God, I pray thee, let my 
life, and the life of these fifty thy 
servants, be m precious in thy 
sight. 

14 Behold, there came fire down 
from heaven, and burnt up the 
two captains of the former fifties 
with their fifties: therefore let my 
fife now be precious in thy sight. 

15 And the angel of the Lord 
said unto Elijah, Go down with 
him; be not n afraid of him. And 
he arose, and went down with him. 
unto the king. 

16 And he said unto him, Thus 
saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou 
hast sent messengers to enquire of 
Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it 
not because there is no God in Israel 
to enquire of his word? therefore 
thou shalt not come down off that 
bed on which thou art gone up, 
but shalt surely die. 

17 If So he died according to the 
word of the Lord which Elijah 
had spoken. And 6 Jehoram 
reigned in his stead, in the second 
year of Jehoram the son of Jeho- 
shaphat king of Judah; because he 
had no son. 

18 Now the rest of the acts of 
Ahaziah which he did, are they 
not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Tarry c here, I pray thee; for the

4 And Elijah said nnto him, 
Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for 
the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. 
And he said, As the Lord liveth, 
and as thy soul liveth, I will not 
leave thee. So they came to 
Jericho. 

5 And the sons of the prophets 
that were at Jericho came to Eli- 
sha, and said unto him, Knowest 
thou that the Lord will take away 
thy master from thy head to-day? 
And he answered, Yea, I know it; 
hold ye your peace. 

6 And Elijah said unto him, 
Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the 
Lord hath sent me to Jordan. 
And he said, As the Lord liveth, 
and as thy soul liveth, I will not 
leave thee. And they two went on. 

7 And fifty men of the sons of the 
prophets went, and stood 1 to view 
afar off: and they two stood by 
Jordan. 

8 And Elijah took his mantle, 
and wrapped it together, and 
smote the waters, and they / were 
divided hither and thither, so 
that they two went over on dry 
ground. 

9 1f And it came to pass, when 
they were gone over, that Elijah 
said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall 
do for thee, before I be taken away 
from thee. And Elisha said, I pray 
thee, let a 9 double portion of thy 
spirit be upon me. 

10 And he said, 2 Thou hast asked 
a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou 
see A me when I am taken from 
thee, it shall be so unto thee; but 
if not, it shall not be so. 

11 And it came to pass, as they 
still went on, and talked, that, 
behold, there appeared * a chariot of 
fire, and horses of fire, and parted 
them both asunder; and Elijah 
went up by a whirlwind into 
heaven. 

12 And Elisha saw it, and he 
cried, i My father, my father! the 
chariot of Israel, and the horsemen 
thereof. And he k saw him no 
more: and he took hold of his own 
clothes, and * rent them in two 
pieces. 

13 He took up also the mantle of 
Elijah that fell from him, and went 
back, and stood by the 3 bank of 
Jordan;

Where is the Lord God of Elijah? 
And when he also had smitten the 
waters, they parted hither and 
thither: and Elisha went over. 

15 And when the sons of the 
prophets which were to view at 
Jericho saw him, they said, The 
spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. 
And they came to meet him, and 
bowed themselves to the ground 
before him. 

16 And they said unto him, Be- 
hold now, there be with thy ser- 
vants fifty 4 strong men; let them 
go, we pray thee, and seek thy 
master: n lest peradventure the 
Spirit of the Lord hath taken him 
up, and cast him upon 6 some 
mountain, or into some valley. 
And he said, Ye shall not 
send. 

17 And when they urged him till 
he was ashamed, he said, Send. 
They sent therefore fifty men; and 
they sought three days, but found 
him not. 

18 And when they came again to 
him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he 
said unto them, Did I not say unto 
you, Go not? 

19 U And the men of the city said 
unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, 
the situation of this city is pleas- 
ant, as my lord seeth; but the 
water ° is naught, and the ground 
6 Darren. 

20 And he said, Bring me a new 
cruse, and put salt therein: and 
they brought it to him. 

21 And he went forth unto the 
spring of the waters, and p cast the 
salt in there, and said, Thus saith 
the Lord, I have healed these 
waters; there shall not be from 
thence any more death or barren 
land. 

22 So the waters were healed 
unto this day, according to the 
saying of Elisha which he spake. 

23 % And he went up from thence 
unto Beth-el: and as he was going 
up by the way, there came forth 
little children out of the city, and 
mocked q him, and said unto him, 
Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou 
bald head. 

24 And he turned back, and 
looked on them, and cursed them 
in the name of the Lord. And 
there came forth two she-bears out 
of the wood, r and tare forty and 
two children of them. 

23 And he went from thence to 
mount Carmel; and from thence 
he returned to Samaria. 



Jehoshqphat joins Jehoram against Moab. 2 KINGS, III. 



The Moahites defeated. 



CHAPTER IIL 

1 Jehoram's evil reign over Israel. 4 Me- 
shot, king of Moab rebels. 6 Jehoram's 
army want water; Elisha promises 
water and victory over Moab. 24 The 
Moabites defeated. 

NOW "Jehoram the son of 
Ahab began to reign over 
Israel in Samaria the eighteenth 
year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, 
and reigned twelve years. 

2 And he wrought evil in the 
sight of the Lord; but not like his 
father, and like his mother; for he 
put away the 1 image of Baal b that 
his father had made. 

3 Nevertheless he c cleaved unto 
the d sins of Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat, which made Isi'ael to sin; 
he departed not therefrom. 

4 % And Mesha king of Moab 
was 6 a sheep-master, and rendered 
unto the king of Israel an hundred 
thousand / lambs, and an hundred 
thousand rams, with the wool. 

5 But it came to pass, when 9 Ahab 
was dead, that the king of Moab 
rebelled against the king of Israel. 

6 f And king Jehoram went out 
of Samaria the same time, and 
numbered all Israel. 

7 And he went and sent to Jeho- 
shaphat the king of Judah, saying, 
The king of Moab hath rebelled 
against me: wilt thoi; go with me 
against Moab to battle? And he 
said, I will go up: h I am as thou 
art, my people as thy people, and 
my horses as thy horses. 

8 And he said, Which way shall 
we go up? And he answered, The 
way through the wilderness of 
Edom. 

9 So the king of Israel went, and 
the king of Judah, and the king of 
Edom: and they fetched a compass 
of seven days' journey: and there 
was no water for the host, and for 
the cattle 2 that followed them. 

10 And the king of Israel said, 
Alas! * that the Loud hath called 
these three kings together, to de- 
liver them into the hand of Moab! 

11 But'' Jehoshaphat said, Is there 
not here a k prophet of the Lord, 
that we may enquire l of the Lokd 
by him? And one of the king of 
Israel's servants answered and said, 
Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, 
which poured water on the hands 
of Elijah. 

12 And Jehoshaphat said, The 
word of the Lord is with him. So 
the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat 
and the king of Edom went m down 
to him.

13 And Elisha said unto the king 
of Israel, " What have I to do with 
thee? ° get thee to p the prophets 
of thy father, and to the prophets 
of thy mother. And the king of 
Israel said unto him, Nay: for the 
Lord hath called these three kings 
together, to deliver them into the 
hand of Moab. 

14 And Elisha said, q As the Lord 
of hosts liveth, before whom I 
stand, surely, were it not that I re- 
gard r the presence of Jehoshaphat 
the king of Judah, I would not 
look toward thee, nor see thee. 

15 But now bring me *a minstrel. 
And it came to pass, when the 
minstrel played, that ' the hand of 
the Lord came upon him. 

16 And he said, Thus saith the 
Lord, Make u this valley full of 
ditches: 

17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye 
shall not see wind, neither shall ye 
see rain; yet that valley v shall be 
filled with water, that ye may 
drink, both ye, and your cattle, 
and your beasts. 

18 And this is but a w light thing 
in the sight of the Lord: * he will 
deliver the Moabites also into your 
hand. 

19 And y ye shall smite every 
fenced city, and every choice city, 
and shall fell every good tree, and 
stop all wells of water, and 3 mar 
every good piece of land with 
stones. 

20 And it came to pass in the 
morning, when " the meat offering 
was offered, that, behold, there 
came water by the way of Edom, 
and the country was filled with 
water. 

21 f And when all the Moabites 
heard that the kings were come 
up to fight against them, they 
* gathered all that were able to 
5 put on armour, and upward, and 
stood in the border. 

22 And they rose up early in the 
morning, and the sun shone upon 
the water, and the Moabites saw 
the water on the other side as red 
as blood: 

23 And they said, This is blood: 
the kings are surely 6 slain, and 
they have smitten one another: 
now therefore, Moab, to the spoiL 

24 And when they came to the 
camp of Israel, the Israelites rose 
up and smote the Moabites, so that 
they fled before them: but 7 they 
went forward smitingthe Moabites, 
even in their country.

2 KINGS, IV. The Shunammite's kindness toEUsha. 



25 And they beat down the cities, 
and on every good piece of land 
cast every man his stone, and filled 
it; and they stopped all the wells 
of water, and felled all the good 
trees: 8 only in a Kir-haraseth left 
they the stones thereof; howbeit 
the slingers went about it, and 
smote it. 

26 f And when the king of Moab 
saw that the battle was too sore 
for him, he took with him seven 
hundred men that drew swords, 
to break through even unto the 
king of Edom: but they could not. 

27 Then he took 9 his eldest son, 
that should have reigned in his 
stead, and offered 6 him for a burnt 
offering upon the walL And there 
was great indignation against Is- 
rael: and they departed 10 from 
him, and returned to their own 
land. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Elisha augments the widow's oil, 8 pro- 
mises a son to the Shunammite, 18 raises 
her dead son, 38 heals deadly pottage, 
42 satisfies a hundred men with twenty 
loaves. 

NOW there cried a certain wo- 
man of the wives of ° the sons 
of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, 
Thy servant my husband is dead; 
and thou knowest that thy servant 
did fear the Lord: and the creditor 
is come h to take unto him my two 
sons to be bondmen. 

2 And Elisha said unto her, What 
shall I do for thee? tell me, what 
hast thou in the house? And she 
said, Thine handmaid hath not any 
thing in the house, save c a pot of 
oil. 

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee 
vessels abroad of all thy neigh- 
bours, even empty vessels; 1 borrow 
not a few. 

4 And when thou art come in, 
thou shalt shut the door upon thee 
and upon thy sons, and shalt pour 
out into all those vessels, and thou 
shalt set aside that which is full 

5 So she went from him, and shut 
the door upon her and upon her 
sons, who brought the vessels to her; 
and she poured out 

6 And it came to pass, when d the 
vessels were full, that she said unto 
her son, Bring me yet a vessel. 
And he said unto her, There is not 
a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 

7 Then she came and told the 
man of God. And he said, Go, 
sell the oil, and pay thy 2 debt, 
and live thou and thy children of 
the rest.

8 % And 3 it fell on a day, that 
Elisha passed to e Shunem, where 
was a great woman: and she 4 con- 
strained him to eat bread. And 
so it was, that, as oft as he passed 
by, he turned in thither to eat 
bread. 

9 And she said unto / her hus- 
band, Behold now, I perceive that 
this is an holy man of God which 
passeth by us continually. 

10 Let us g make a little chamber, 
1 pray thee, on the wall; and let 
us set for him there a bed, and a 
table, and a stool, and a candle- 
stick: and it shall be, when he 
cometh to us, that he shall turn 
in thither. 

I 11 And it fell on a day, that he 
came thither, and he turned into 
the chamber, and lay there. 

12 And he said to Gehazi his ser- 
vant, Call this Shunammite. And 
when he had called her, she stood 
before him. 

13 And he said unto him, Say 
now unto her, Behold, thou hast 
been careful for us with all this 
care; what is to be done for thee? 
wouldest thou be spoken for to the 
king, or to the captain of the host? 
And she answered, 1 dwell among 
mine own people. 

14 And he said, What then is to 
be done for her? And Gehazi an- 
swered, Verily she hath no child, 
and her husband is old. 

15 And he said, Call her. And 
when he had called her, she stood 
in the door. 

16 And he said, ft About this 5 sea- 
son, according to the time of life, 
thou shalt embrace a son. And 
she said, Nay, my lord, thou man 
of God, do not lie unto thine hand- 
maid. 

17 And the woman conceived, 
and bare a son at that season that 
Elisha had said unto her, accord- 
ing to the time of life. 

18 % And when the child was 
grown, it fell on a day, that he 
went out to his father to the 
reapers. 

19 And he said unto his father, 
My head, my head! And he said 
to a lad. Carry him to his mother. 

20 And when he had taken him, 
and brought him to his mother, he 
sat on her knees till noon, and 
then died. 

21 And she went up, and laid 
him on the bed of the man of God, 
and shut the door upon him, and 
went out.

22 And she called unto her hus- 
hand, and said, Send me, I pray 
thee, one of the younc: men, and 
one of the asses, that I may run to 
the man of God, and come again. 

23 And he said, Wherefore wilt 
thou go to him to-day? it is neither 
new moon nor sahhath. And she 
said, It shall be 6 well. 

24 Then she saddled an ass, and 
said to her servant, Drive, and go 
forward; 7 slack not thy riding for 
me, except I hid thee. 

25 So she went, and came unto 
the man of God i to mount Carmel. 
And it came to pass, when the man 
of God saw her afar off, that he said 
to Gehazi his servant. Behold, yon- 
der is that Shunammite: 

26 Bun now, I pray thee, to meet 
her; and say unto her, Is it well 
with thee? is it well with thy 
hushand? is it well with the child? 
And she answered, It is well. 

27 And when she came to the man 
of God to the hill, she caught 8 him 
hy the feet: but Gehazi o came near 
to thrust her away. And the man 
of God said, Let her alone; for her 
soul is 9 vexed within her: and the 
Lord hath hid it from me, and hath 
not told me. 

28 Then she said, Did I desire a 
son of my lord? did I not say, Do 
not deceive me? 

29 Then he said to Gehazi, * Gird 
up thy loins, and take my staff in 
thine hand, and go thy way: if 
thou meet any man, l salute him 
not; and if any salute thee, answer 
him not again: and "May my staff 
upon the face of the child. 

30 And the mother of the child 
said, " As the Lord liveth, and as 
thy soul liveth, I will not leave 
thee. And he arose, and followed 
her. 

31 And Gehazi passed on before 
them, and laid the staff upon the 
face of the child; but there was nei- 
ther voice nor 10 hearing: where- 
fore he went again to meet him, 
and told him, saying, The child 
is ° not awaked. 

32 And when Elisha was come 
into the house, behold, the child 
was dead, and laid upon his bed. „ 

33 He p went in therefore, and 
shut the door upon them twain, 
and ? prayed unto the Lord. 

34 And he went up, and lay upon 
the child, and put his mouth upon 
his mouth, and his eyes upon his 
eyes, and his handsupon his hands;

35 Then he returned, and walked 
in the house n to and fro; and 
went up, s and stretched himself 
upon him: and f the child sneezed 
seven times, and the child opened 
his eyes. 

36 And he called Gehazi, and 
said, Call this Shunammite. So 
he called her. And when she was 
come in unto him, he said, Take 
up thy son. 

37 Then she went in, and fell at 
his feet, and bowed herself to the 
ground, and M took up her son, and 
went out. 

38 1[ And Elisha came again v to 
Gilgal: and there was a dearth in 
the land; and the sons of the pro- 
phets were w sitting before him: and 
he said unto his servant, Set on 
the great pot, and seethe pottage 
for the sons of the prophets. 

39 And one went out into the 
field to gather herbs, and found a 
wild vine, and gathered thereof 
wild gourds his lap-full, and came 
and shred them into the pot of pot- 
tage: for they x knew them not. 

40 So they poured out for the men 
to eat: and it came to pass, as they 
were eating of the pottage, that 
they cried out, and said, O thou 
man of God, there is y death in the 
pot. And they could not eat 
thereof. 

41 But he said, Then bring meal: 
and * he cast it into the pot; and 
he said, Pour out for the people, 
that they may eat. And there was 
no 12 harm in the pot. 

42 if And there came a man ° from 
Baal-shalisha, b and brought the 
man of God bread of the first-fruits, 
twenty loaves of barley, and full 
ears of corn 13 in the husk thereof. 
And he said, Give unto the people, 
that they may eat. 

43 And his servitor said, c What! 
should I set this before an hundred 
men? He said again, Give the 
people, that they may eat: for thus 
saith the Lord, They shall eat, and 
shall leave thereof. 

44 So he set it before them, and 
they did eat, d and left thereof ac- 
cording to the word e of the Lord.

a b great man x with his master, 
and 2 honourable, because by him 
the Lord had given 3 deliverance 
unto Syria: he was also a mighty 
man in valour; but lie was a 
leper. 

2 And the Syrians had gone out 
"by companies, and had brought 
away captive out of the land of 
Israel a little maid; and she 
4 waited on Naaman's wife. 

3 And she said unto her mistress, 
Would God my lord were 5 with the 
prophet that is in Samaria! for 
he would 6 recover him of his 
leprosy. 

4 And one went in, and told his 
lord, saying, Thus and thus said 
the maid that is of the land of 
Israel. 

5 And the king of Syria said, Go 
to, go, and I wiu send a letter unto 
the king of Israel. And he de- 
parted, and c took 7 with him ten 
talents of silver, and six thousand 
pieces of gold, and ten changes of 
raiment. 

6 And he brought the letter to 
the king of Israel, saying, Now 
when tbis letter is come unto thee, 
behold, I have therewith sent Na- 
aman my servant to thee, that 
thou mayest recover him of his 
leprosy. 

7 And it came to pass, when the 
king of Israel had read the letter, 
that he d rent his clothes, and said, 
Am I e God, to kill and to make 
alive, that this man doth send 
unto me to recover a man of his 
leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray 
you, and see how he seeketh a 
quarrel against me. 

8 ^ And it was so, when Elisha 
the man of God had heard that the 
king of Israel had rent his clothes, 
that he sent to the king, saying, 
Wherefore hast thou rent thy 
clothes? let him come now to me, 
and / he shall know that there is a 
prophet in Israel. 

9 So Naaman came with his 
horses and with his chariot, and 
stood at the door of the house of 
Elisha. 

10 And Elisha sent a messenger 
unto him, saying, Go and 9 wash 
in Jordan seven times, and thy 
flesh shall come again to thee, and 
thou shalt be clean. 

11 But Naaman was h wroth, and 
went away, and said, Behold, 8 I 
thought, He will surely come out 
to me, and stand, and call on the 
name of the Lord his God, and

rage. 

13 And his servants came near, 
and spake unto him, and said, My 
father, ?/ the prophet had bid thee 
do some great thing, wouldest thou 
not have done it? how much rather 
then, when he saith to thee, Wash, 
and be clean? 

14 Then went he down, and dip- 
ped himself seven times in Jordan, 
according to the saying of the man 
of God: and ■? his flesh came again 
like unto the flesh of a little child, 
and he * was clean. 

15 % And l he returned to the 
man of God, he and all his com- 
pany, and came and stood before 
him: and he said, Behold, now "* I 
know that there is n no God in all 
the earth, but in Israel: now there- 
fore, I pray thee, take ° a blessing 
of thy servant. 

16 But he said, p As the Lord 
liveth, before whom I stand, q I 
will receive none. And he urged 
him to take it; but he refused. 

17 And Naaman said, Shall there 
not then, I pray thee, be given to 
thy servant two mules' burden of 
earth? for thy servant will hence- 
forth offer neither burnt offering 
nor sacrifice unto other gods, but 
unto the Lord. 

18 In this thing the Lord pardon 
thy servant, that when my master 
goeth into the house of Bimmon to 
worship there, and he r leaneth on 
my hand, and I bow myself in the 
house of Rimmon: when I bow 
down myself in the house of Bim- 
mon) the Lord pardon thy servant 
in this thing. 

19 And he said unto him, Go in 
peace. So he departed from him 
11 a little way. 

20 % But Gehazi, the servant of 
Elisha the man of God, said, Be- 
hold, my master hath spared Na- 
aman this Syrian, in not receiving 
at his hands that which he brought; 
but, as the Lord liveth, I will run 
after* him, and take somewhat of 
him. 

21 So Gehazi followed after Na- 
aman. And when Naaman saw 
him running after him, he lighted 
down from the chariot to meet 
him, and said. 12 Is all well?

22 And he said, All is well. My 
master hath sent me, saying, Be- 
hold, even now there be come to 
me from mount Ephraim two 
young men of the sons of the pro- 
phets: give them, I pray thee, a 
talent of silver, and two changes 
of garments. 

23 And Naaman said, Be content, 
take two talents. And he urged 
him, and bound two talents of 
silver in two bags, with two 
changes of garments, and laid them 
upon two of his servants; and they 
bare them before him. 

24 And when he came to the 
13 tower, he took them from their 
hand, and bestowed them in the 
house: and he let the men go, and 
they departed. 

25 But he went in, and ' stood 
before his master. And Elisha 
said unto him, Whence earnest thou, 
Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant 
went u no whither. 

26 And u he said unto him, Went 
not mine heart with thee, when the 
man turned again from his chariot 
to meet thee? Is it a time to 
receive money, and to receive 
garments, and oliveyards, and 
vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, 
and men-servants, and maid-ser- 
vants? 

27 The leprosy therefore of Na- 
aman " shall cleave unto thee, 
and unto thy seed for ever. And 
he went out from his presence a 
leper w as white as snow.

thee is too strait for us. 

2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto 
Jordan, and take thence every 
man a beam, and let us make us a 
place there, where we may dwell. 
And he answered, Go ye. 

3 And one said, Be content, I pray 
thee, and go with thy servants. 
And he answered, I will go. 

4 So he went with them. And 
when they came to Jordan, they 
cut down wood. 

5 But as one was felling a beam, 
the 2 ax head fell into the water: 
and he cried, and said, Alas, mas- 
ter! for it was borrowed. 

6 And the man of God said, 
Where fell it? And he showed

him the place. And b he cut down 
a stick, and cast it in thither; and 
the iron did swim. 

7 Therefore said he, Take it up to 
thee. And he put out his hand, 
and took it. 

8 ^ Then the king of Syria warred 
against Israel, and took counsel 
with his servants, saying, In such 
and such a place shall be my 

3 camp. 

9 And the man of God sent unto 
the king of Israel, saying, c Beware 
that thou pass not such a place; 
for thither the Syrians are come 
down. 

10 And the king of Israel sent to 
the place which the man of God 
told him and warned him of, and 
saved himself there, not once nor 
twice. 

11 Therefore the heart of the king 
of Syria was sore troubled for this 
thing; and he called his servants, 
and said unto them. Will ye not 
show me which of us is for the king 
of Israel? 

12 And one of his servants said, 

4 None, my lord, O king: but 
Elisha, the prophet that is in Is- 
rael, telleth the king of Israel the 
words that thou speakest in thy 
bed-chamber. 

13 And he said, Go and spy where 
he is, that I may send and fetch 
him. And it was told him, saying, 
Behold, he is in d Dothan. 

14 Therefore sent he thither 
horses, and chariots, and a 5 great 
host: and they came by night, and 
compassed the city about. 

15 And when the 6 servant of 
the man of God was risen early, 
and gone forth, behold, an host 
compassed the city both with 
horses and chariots. And his ser- 
vant said unto him, Alas, my mas- 
ter! how shall we do? 

16 And he answered, Fear not; 
for 6 they that be with us are more 
than they that be with them. 

17 And Elisha prayed, and said, 
Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, 
that he may see. And the Lord 
opened the eyes of the young man; 
and he saw: and, behold, the 
mountain was full of f horses and 
chariots of fire round about Elisha. 

18 And when they came down to 
him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, 
and said, Smite this people, I pray 
thee, with blindness. And a he 
smote them with blindness ac- 
cording to the word of Elisha. 

19 And Elisha said unto them, 



The Syrians besiege Samaria. 



2 KINGS, VH. 



Great famiiie in the city. 



This is not the way, neither is 
this the city: 7 follow me, and I 
will bring you to the man whom 
ye seek. But he led them to 
Samaria. 

20 And it came to pass, when 
they were come into Samaria, that 
Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes 
of these men, that they may see. 
And the Lord opened their eyes, 
and they saw; and, behold, they 
were in the midst of Samaria. 

21 And the king of Israel said 
unto Elisha, when he saw them, 
My h father, shall I smite them? 
shall I smite them? 

22 And he answered, Thou shalt 
not smite them: wouldest thou 
smite those whom thou hast taken 
captive with thy sword and with 
*hy bow? * Set bread and water 
before them, that they may eat 
and drink, and go to their mas- 
ter. 

23 And he prepared great provi- 
sion for them: and when they had 
eaten and drunk, he sent them 
away, and they went to their 
master. So i the bands of Syria 
came no more into the land of 
Israel. 

24 % And it came to pass after 
this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria 
gathered all his host, and went up, 
and besieged Samaria. 

m 25 And there was a great * famine 
in Samaria: and, behold, they be- 
sieged it, until an ass's head was 
sold for fourscore pieces of silver, 
and the 8 fourth part of a cab 
of dove's dung for five pieces of 
silver. 

26 ^ And as the king of Israel 
was passing by upon the wall, 
there cried a woman unto him, 
saying, Help, my lord, king! 

27 And he said, 9 Bf the Lord do 
not help thee, whence shall I help 
thee? out of the barn-floor, or out 
of the wine-press? 

28 And the king said unto her, 
What * aileth thee? And she an- 
swered, This woman said unto me, 
Give thy son, that we may eat 
him to-day, and we will eat my 
son to-morrow. 

29 So m we boiled my son, and 
did eat him: and I said unto her 
on the 10 next day, Give thy son, 
that we may eat him; and she 
hath hid her son. 

30 And it came to pass, when 
the king heard the words of the 
woman, that he n rent his clothes; 
and he passed by upon the wall,

and the people looked, and, be-

his flesh. 

31 Then he said, ° God do so and 
more also to me, if the head of 
Elisha the son of Shaphat shall 
stand on him this day. 

32 But Elisha p sat in his house, 
and q the elders sat with him; and

him: but ere the messenger came 
to him, he said to the elders, r See 
ye how this son of * a murderer 
hath sent to take away mine 
head? Look, when the messenger 
cometh, shut the door, and hold 
him fast at the door: is not the 
sound of his master's feet behind

33 And while he yet talked with 
them, behold, the messenger came 
down unto him: and u he said, 
Behold, this evil is of the Lord; 
what * should I wait for the Lord 
any longer? 

CHAPTER VH. 

j. Elisha prophesies incredible plenty in 
Samaria. 17 The unbelieving lord 
trodden to death. 

THEN Elisha said, Hear ye the 
word of the Lord; Thus saith 
the Lord, a To-morrow, about this 
time, shall a measure Of fine flour 
be sold for a shekel, and two meas- 
ures of barley ior a shekel, in the 
gate of Samaria. 

2 Then * a lord on whose hand 
the king leaned answered the man 
of God, and said, Behold, b if the 
Lord would make windows in 
heaven, might this thing be? 
And he said, Behold, thou shalt 
see it with thine eyes, but c shalt 
not eat thereof. 

3 ^ And there were four leprous 
men d at the entering in of the 
gate; and they said one to an- 
other, Why sit we here until we 
die? 

4 If we say, We will enter into 
the city, then the famine is in the 
city, and we shall die there: and 
if we sit still here, we die also. 
Now therefore come, and let us 
fall unto the host of the Syrians: 
if they save us alive, we shall five; 
and if e they kill us, we shall but 
die. 

5 And they rose up in the 
twilight, to go unto the camp of 
the Syrians: and when they were 
come to the uttermost part of the 
camp of Syria, behold, there was 
no man there. 

6 For the Lord had made the 



Flight of the Syrians.

host of the Syrians * to hear a noise 
of chariots, and a noise of horses, 
even the noise of a great host: and 
they said one to another, Lo, the 
king of Israel hath hired against 
us ° the kings of the Hittites, and 
the kings of the Egyptians, to 
come upon us. 

7 Wherefore they h arose, and 
fled in the twilight, and left their 
tents, and their horses, and their 
asses, even the camp as it was, and 
fled for their life. 

8 And when these lepers came to 
the uttermost part of the camp, 
they went into one tent, and did 
eat and drink, and carried thence 
silver, and gold, and raiment, and 
went and hid it; and came again, 
and entered into another tent, 
and carried thence also, and went 
and hid it. 

9 Then they said one to another, 
We * do not well: this day is a day 
of i good tidings, and we hold our 
peace: if we tarry till the morning 
light, 2 some mischief will come 
upon us: now therefore come, that 
we may go and tell the king's 
household. 

10 So they came and called unto 
the porter of the city; and they 
told them, saying, We came to 
the camp of the Syrians, and, be- 
hold, there was no man there, 
neither voice of man, but horses 
tied, and asses tied, and the tents 
as they were. 

11 And he called the porters; 
and they told it to the king's house 
within. 

12 ^ And the king arose in the 
night, and said unto his servants, 
I will now show you what the 
Syrians have done to us. They 
know that we be hungry; therefore 
are they gone out of the camp to 
hide themselves in the field, say- 
ing, When they come out of the 
city, we shall catch them alive, 
and get into the city. 

13 And one of his servants an- 
swered and said, Let some take, I 
pray thee, five of the horses that 
remain, which are left 3 in the city, 
(behold, they are as all the multi- 
tude of Israel that are left in it; 
behold, I say, they are even as all 
the multitude of the Israelites that 
are consumed,) and let us send 
and see. 

14 They took therefore two 
chariot horses; and the king sent 
after the host of the Syrians, say- 
ing, Go and see.

15 And they went after them 
unto Jordan; and, lo, all the way 
was full of garments and 4 vessels, 
which the Syrians had cast away 
in their haste: and the messengers 
returned, and told the king. 

16 And the people went out, and 
spoiled the tents of the Syrians. 
So a measure of fine flour was sold 
for a shekel, and two measures of 
barley for a shekel, k according to 
the word of the Lord. 

17 % And the king appointed 
the lord on whose hand he leaned 
to have the charge of the gate: 
and the people trode upon him in 
the gate, and he died, l as the man 
of God had said, who spake when 
the king came down to him. 

18 And it came to pass as the 
man of God had spoken to the 
lung, saying, m Two measures of 
barley for a shekel, and a measure 
of fine flour for a shekel, shall be 
to-morrow about this time in the 
gate of Samaria: 

19 And that lord answered the 
man of God, and said, Now, be- 
hold, if the Lord should make 
windows in heaven, might such a 
thing be? And he said, Behold, 
thou shalt see it with thine eyes, 
but shalt not eat thereof. 

20 And n so it fell out unto him: 
for the people trode upon him in 
the gate, and he died. 

CHAPTER Vm. 

1 The Shunammite's land restored. 1 
Hazael kills his master, and succeeds 
Jam. 16 Jehoram's wicked reign in 
Judali: 24 Ahaziah succeeds him: 25 
his wicked reign. 

THEN spake Elisha unto the 
woman, "whose son he had 
restored to life, saying, Arise, and 
go thou and thine household, and 
sojourn wheresoever thou canst 
sojourn: for the Lord h hath called 
for a famine; and it shall also 
come upon the land seven years. 

2 And the woman arose, and did 
after the saying of the man of 
God: and she went with her house- 
hold, and sojourned in the land of 
the Philistines seven years. 

3 And it came to pass at the 
seven years' end, that the woman 
returned out of the land of the 
Philistines: and she went forth to 
cry unto the king for her house 
and for her land. 

4 And the king talked e with 
Gehazi, the servant of the man of 
God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee,

all the great things that Elisha 
hath done. 

5 And it came to pass, as he was 
telling the king how he had d re- 
stored a dead body to life, that, 
behold, the woman, whose son he 
had restored to life, cried to the 
king for her house and for her 
land. And Gehazi said, My lord. 

king, this is the woman, and 
this is her son, whom Elisha re- 
stored to life. 

6 And when the king asked the 
woman, she told him. So the 
king appointed unto her a certain 

1 officer, saying, Restore all that 
was Iter's, and all the fruits of the 
field since the day that she left 
the land, even until now. 

7 ^ And Elisha came to Damas- 
cus; and Ben-hadad the king of 
Syria was sick; and it was told 
him, saying, The man of God is 
come hither. 

8 And the lung said " unto 
Hazael, / Take a present in thine 
hand, and go, meet the man of 
God, and g enquire of the Lord by 
him, saying, Shall 1 recover of this 
disease? 

9 So Hazael went to meet him, 
and took a present 2 with him, 
even of every good thing of Da- 
mascus, forty camels' burden, and 
came and stood before him, and 
said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of 
Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, 
Shall I recover of this disease ? 

10 And Elisha said unto him, 
Go, say unto him, Thou mayest 
certainly recover: howbeit the 
Lord hath showed me that he 
shall surely die. 

11 And he settled his counte- 
nance 3 stedfastly, until he was 
ashamed: A and the man of God 
wept 

12 And Hazael said, Why weep- 1 
eth my lord? And he answered, 
Because I know * the evil that 
thou wilt do unto the children of 
Israel: their strong holds wilt thou 
set on fire, and their young men 
wilt thou slay with the sword, and 
wilt i dash their children, and rip 
up their women with child. 

13 And Hazael said, But what! 
is k thy servant a dog, that he 
should do this great thing? And 
Elisha answered, l The Lord hath 
showed me that thou shall be king 
over Syria. 

14 So he departed from Elisha, 
and came to his master; who said i 
to him, What said Elisha to thee? |

morrow, that he took a thick

spread it on his face, so that he 
died: and Hazael reigned in his

16 «[ And in the fifth year of 
Joram the son of Ahab king of 
Israel, Jehoshaphat being then 
king of Judah, m Jehoram the son 
of Jehoshaphat king of Judah 
4 began to reign. 

17 Thirty n and two years old 
was he when he began to reign; 
and he reigned eight years in 
Jerusalem. 

18 And he walked in the way of 
the kings of Israel, as did the 
house of Ahab; for the daughter 
of Ahab was his wife: and he did 
evil in the sight of the Lord. 

19 Yet the~LoRD would not de- 
stroy Judah for David his servant's 
sake, ° as he promised him to give 
him alway a 5 fight, and to his 
children. 

20 ^ In his days F Edom revolted 
from under the hand of Judah, 
and 5 made a king over them- 
selves. 

21 So Joram went over to Zair, 
and all the chariots with him: 
and he rose by night, and smote 
the Edomites which compassed 
him about, and the captains of 
the chariots: and the people fled 
into their tents. 

22 6 Yet Edom revolted from 
under the hand of Judah unto 
this day. r Then Libnah revolted 
at the same time. 

23 And the rest of the acts of 
Joram, and all that he did, are 
they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 

24 And Joram slept with his 
fathers, and was buried with his 
fathers in the city of David: and 
7 Ahaziah his son reigned in his 
stead. 

25 % In the twelfth year of Joram 
the son of Ahab king of Israel did 
Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king 
of Judah begin to reign. 

26 Two s and twenty years old 
was Ahaziah when he began to 
reign; and he reigned one year in 
Jerusalem. And his mother's 
name was Athaliah, the 8 daughter 
of Omri king of Israel.

down to see Joram the son of 
Ahab in Jezreel, because he was 
11 sick. 

CHAPTEB IX. 

1 Jehu is anointed: 24 he kills Joram in 
the field o/Miboth. 27 Ahaziah is slain. 
36 Jezebel eaten by dogs. 

AND Elisha the prophet called 
one of the a children of the 
prophets, and said unto him, b Gird 
up thy loins, and take this box of 
oil in thine hand, c and go to 
Kamoth-gilead: 

2 And when thou comest thither, 
look out there Jehu the son of 
Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, 
and go in, and make him arise up 
from among his brethren, and 
carry him to an 1 inner chamber; 

3 Then d take the box of oil, and 
pour it on his head, and say, Thus 
saith the Lord, I have anointed 
thee king over Israel. Then open 
the door and flee, and tarry not. 

4 So the young man, even the 
young man the prophet, went to 
Kamoth-gilead. 

5 And when he came, behold, 
the captains of the host were sit- 
ting; and he said, I have an errand 
to thee, captain. And Jehu 
said, Unto which of all us? And 
he said, To thee, captain. 

6 And he arose, and went into 
the house; and he poured the oil 
on his head, and said unto him, 
Thus e saith the Loed God of 
Israel, I have anointed thee king 
over the people of the Lord, even 
over Israel. 

7 And thou shalt smite the house 
of Ahab thy master, that / 1 may 
avenge the blood of my servants 
the prophets, and the blood of all 
the servants of the Lord, ° at the 
hand of Jezebel. 

8 For the whole house of Ahab 
shall perish: and u 1 will cut off 
from Ahab i him that pisseth 
against the wall, and him i that 
is shut up and left in Israel,

9 And I will make the house of 
Ahab like the house of * Jeroboam 
the son of Nebat, and like the 
house of l Baasha the son of 
Ahijah: 

10 And m the dogs shall eat 
Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, 
and there shall be none to bury her. 
And he opened the door, and fled. 

11 % Then Jehu came forth to 
the servants of his lord: and ont 
said unto him, Is all well? where 
fore came n this mad fellow to 
thee? And he said unto them, Ye 
know the man, and his com- 
munication. 

12 And they said, It is false; tell 
us now. And he said, Thus and 
thus spake he to me, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord, I have anointed 
thee king over Israel 

13 Then they hasted, and ° took 
every man his garment, and put 
it under him on the top of the 
stairs, and blew with trumpets, 
saying, Jehu 2 is king! 

14 So Jehu the son of Jehosha- 
phat the son of Nimshi conspired 
against Joram. (Now Joram had 
kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all 
Israel, because of Hazael king of 
Syria: 

15 But p king 3 Joram was re- 
turned to be healed in Jezreel of 
the wounds which the Syrians 
4 had given him, when he fought 
with Hazael king of Syria.) And 
Jehu said, If it be -your minds, 
then 6 let none go forth nor escape 
out of the city to go to tell it in 
Jezreel. 

16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and 
went to Jezreel; for Joram lay 
there. And Ahaziah king of 
Judah was come down to see 
Joram. 

17 And there stood a watchman 
on the tower in Jezreel, and he 
spied the company of Jehu as he 
came, and said, I see a company. 
And Joram said, Take an horse- 
man, and send to meet them, and 
let him say, Is it peace? 

18 So there went one on horse- 
back to meet him, and said, Thus 
saith the king, Is it peace? And 
Jehu said, What hast thou to do 
with peace? turn thee behind me. 
And the watchman told, saying, 
The messenger came to them, but 
he cometh not again. 

19 Then he sent out a second on 
horseback, which came to them, 
and said, Thus saith the king, Is 
it peace? And Jehu answered, 



Joram, Ahaziah, 



2 KINGS, X. 



and Jezebel slatn. 



What hast thou to do with peace? 
turn thee behind me. 

20 And the watchman told, say- 
ing, He came even unto them, 
and cometh not again: and the 
6 driving is like the driving of 
Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he 
driveth 7 furiously. 

21 And Joram said, 8 Make 
ready. And his chariot was made 
ready. And q Joram king of Israel 
and Ahaziah king of Judah went 
out, each in his chariot, and they 
went out against Jehu, and 9 met 
him in the portion of Naboth the 
Jezreelite. 

22 And it came to pass, when 
Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is 
it peace, Jehu? And he answered, 
What peace, r so long as the 
whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel 
and her witchcrafts are so many? 

23 And Joram turned his hands, 
and fled, and said to Ahaziah, 
There is treacheiy, Ahaziah. 

24 And Jehu 10 drew a bow with 
j his full strength, and smote Jeho- 

ram between his arms, and the 
arrow went out at his heart, and 
he u sunk down in his chariot. 

25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his 
captain, Take up, and cast him in 
the portion of the field of Naboth 
the Jezreelite: for remember how 
that, when I and thou rode to- 

f ether after Ahab his father, * the 
iORD laid this burden upon him; 

26 Surely I have seen yesterday 
the 12 blood of Naboth, and the 
blood of his sons, saith the Lord; 
and { I will requite thee in this 
13 plat, saith the Lord. Now 
therefore take and cast him into 
the plat of ground, according to the 
word of the Lord. 

| 27 \ But when Ahaziah the king 
| of Judah saw this, he fled by the 
way of the garden house. And 
Jehu followed after him, and said, 
Smite him also in the chariot. 
And they did so at the going up to 
Gur, which is by Ibleam: and he 
fled to u Hegiddo, and died there. 

28 And his servants carried him 
in a chariot to Jerusalem, and 
buried him in his sepulchre with 
his fathers in the city of David. 

29 And in the eleventh year of 
Joram the son of Ahab began 
Ahaziah to reign 14 over Judah. 

30 ^1 And when Jehu was come 
to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; 
and * she 15 painted her face, and 
tired her head, and looked out at 
a window.

31 And as Jehu entered in at the 
gate, she said, w Had Zimri peace,

32 And he liftx • i up his face to 
the window, ana said, Who is on 
my side? who? And there looked 
out to him two or three 16 eunuchs. 

33 And he said, Throw her down. 
So they threw her down: and some 
of her blood was sprinkled on the 
wall, and on the horses: and he 
trode her under foot. 

34 And when he was come in, he 
did eat and drink, and said, Go, 
see now x this cursed woman, and 
bury her; for y she is a king's 
daughter. 

35 And they went to bury her; 
but they found no more of her 
than the skull, and the feet, and 
the palms of her hands. 

36 Wherefore they came again, 
and told him. And he said, This 
is the word of the Lord, which he 
spake 17 by his servant Elijah the 
Tishbite, saying, z In the portion 
of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh 
of Jezebel: 

37 And the carcase of Jezebel 
shall be a as dung upon the face of 
the field in the portion of Jezreel; 
so that they shall not say, This is 
Jezebel. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Jehu causes seventy of Ahab' s children to 
bebeheaded; 18 he destroys the worshiv- 
pers of Baal, 29 yet follows Jeroboam's 
sins. 

AND Ahab had seventy sons in 
Samaria. And Jehu wrote 
letters, and sent to Samaria, unto 
the ° riders of Jezreel, to the elders, 
and to l them that brought up 
Ahab's children, saying, 

2 Now as b soon as this letter 
cometh to you, seeing your mas- 
ter's sons are with you, and there 
are with you chariots and horses, a 
fenced city also, and armour; 

3 Look even out the best and 
meetest of your master's sons, and 
set him on his father's throne, and 
fight for your master's house. 

4 But they were exceedingly 
afraid, and said, Behold, e two 
kings stood not before him: how 
then shall we stand? 

5 And he that was over the house, 
and he that was over the city, the 
elders also, and the bringers-up of 
the children, sent to Jehu, saying, 
We d are thy servants, and will do 
all that thou shalt bid us; we will 
not make auy king: do thou that 
which is good in thine eyes. 



Jehu cuts off Ahab' s house. 



2 KINGS, X. He destroys the worshippers of Baal. 



6 Then he wrote a letter the sec- 
ond time to them, saying, If ye be 
2 mine, and if ye -will hearken unto 
my voice, take ye the heads of the 
men your master's e sons, and come 
to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this 
time. Now the king's sons, being 
seventy persons, were with the great 
men of the city, which brought 
them up. 

7 And it came to pass, when the 
letter came to them, that they 
took the king's sons, and / slew 
seventy persons, and put their 
heads in baskets, and sent him 
them to Jezreel. 

8 And there came a messenger, 
and told him, saying, They have 
brought the heads of the king's 
sons. And he said, Lay ye them 
in two heaps at the entering in of 
the gate until the morning. 

9 And it came to pass in the 
morning, that he went out, and 
stood, and said to all the people, 
Ye be righteous: behold, 9 I 
conspired against my master, 
and slew him; but who slew all 
these? 

10 Know now that there shall 
fall h unto the earth nothing of the 
word of the Lord, which the Lord 
spake concerning the house of 
Ahab: for the Lord hath done that 
which he spake 3 by his servant 
Elijah. 

11 So Jehu slew all that remained 
of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, 
and all his great men, and his 
4 kinsfolks, and his * priests, until 
he left him none remaining. 

12 % And he arose and departed, 
and came to Samaria: and as he 
was at the ° shearing house in the 
way, 

] 3 Jehu 6 met J with the brethren 
of Ahaziah king of Judah, and 
said, Who are ye? And they an- 
swered, We are the brethren of 
Ahaziah; and we go down 7 to 
salute the children of the king 
and the children of the queen. 

14 And he said, Take them alive. 
And they took them alive, and 
slew them at the pit of the shear- 
ing house, even two and forty men; 
neither left he any of them. 

15 \ And when he was departed 
thence, he 8 lighted on * Jehonadab 
the son of 1 Eechab coming to meet 
him; and he 9 saluted him, and 
said to him, Is thine heart right, 
as my heart is with thy heart? 
And Jehonadab answered, It is. 
If it be, "' give me thine hand. |

And he gave him his hand; and 
he took him up to him into the 
chariot. 

16 And he said, Come with me, 
and see my " zeal for the Lord. 
So they made him ride in his 
chariot. 

17 And when he came to Sama- 
ria, * he slew all that remained 
unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had 
destroyed p him, according to the 
saying of the Lord, 3 which he 
spake to Elijah. 

18 % And Jehu gathered all the 
people together, and said unto 
them, r Ahab served Baal a little, 
but Jehu shall serve him much. 

19 Now therefore call unto me all 
the 8 prophets of Baal, all his ser- 
vants, and all his priests; let none 
be wanting; for I have a great 
sacrifice to do to Baal: whosoever 
shall be wanting, he shall not live. 
But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the 
intent that he might destroy the 
worshippers of Baal. 

20 And Jehu said, 10 Proclaim a 
solemn assembly for Baal. And 
they proclaimed it. 

21 And Jehu sent through all 
Israel; and all the worshippers of 
Baal came, so that there was not a 
man left that came not. And they 
came into the c house of Baal; and 
the house of Baal was n full from 
one end to another. 

22 And he said unto him that 
was over the vestry, Bring forth 
vestments for all the worshippers 
of Baal. And he brought them 
forth vestments. 

23 And Jehu went, and Jehona- 
dab the son of Eechab, into the 
house of Baal, and. said unto the 
worshippers of Baal, Search, and 
look that there be here with you 
none of the servants of the Lord, 
but the worshippers of Baal 
only. 

24 And when they went in to 
offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, 
Jehu appointed fourscore men 
without, and said, If any of the 
men whom I have brought into 
your hands escape, fo that Uttethhim 
go, u his life shall be for the life of 
him. 

25 And it came to pass, as soon 
as he had made an end of offering 
the burnt offering, that Jehu said 
to the guard and to the captains, 
Go in and slay them; let none come 
forth. And they smote them with 
12 the edge of the sword; and the 
guard and the captains cast them

out, and went to the city of the 
house of Baal. 

26 And they brought forth the 
13 images out of the house of Baal, 
and burned them. 

27 And they brake down the 
image of Baal, and brake down 
the house of Baal, and v made it a 
draught house unto this day. 

28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out 
of Israel. 

29 Howbeit from the sins of Jero- 
boam the son of Nebat, who made 
Israel to sin, Jehu departed not 
from after them, to wit, w the 
golden calves that were in Beth-el, 
and that were in Dan. 

30 And the Lord said unto Jehu, 
Because thou hast done well in 
executing that which is right in 
mine eyes, and hast done unto the 
house of Ahab according to all that 
was in mine heart, x thy children 
of the fourth generation shall sit on 
the throne of Israel. 

31 But Jehu " took no y heed to 
walk in the law of the Lord God 
of Israel with all his heart; for he 
departed not from z the sins of 
Jeroboam, which made Israel to 
sin. 

32 \ In those days the Lord be- 
gan 15 to cut Israel short: and 
Hazael a smote them in all the 
coasts of Israel; 

33 From Jordan 16 eastward, all 
the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and 
the Beubenites, and the Manass- 
ites, from Aroer, which is by the 
river Anion, 17 even b Gilead and 
Bashan. 

34 Now the rest of the acts of 
Jehu, and all that he did, aud all 
his might, are they not written in 
the book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Israel? 

35 And Jehu slept with his 
fathers: and they buried him in 
Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son 
reigned in his stead. 

36 And 18 the time that Jehu 
reigned over Israel in Samaria was 
twenty and eight years.

they hid him, even him and his

3 And he was with her hid in the

hoiada sent and fetched the rulers

and the guard, and brought them 
to him into the house of the Lord, 
and made a covenant with them, 
and took an oath of them in the 
house of the Lord, and showed 
them the king's son. 

5 And he commanded them, say- 
ing, This is the thing that ye shall 
do; A third part of you that enter 
in e on the sabbath shall even be 
keepers of the watch of the king's 
house; 

6 And a third part shall be at the 
gate of Sur; and a third part at the 
gate behind the guard: so shah ye 
keep the watch of the house, 4 that 
it be not broken down. 

7 And two s parts of all you that 
go forth on the sabbath, even they 
shall keep the watch of the house 
of the Lord about the king. 

8 And ye shall compass the king 
round about, every man with his 
weapons in his hand: and he that 
cometh within the ranges, let him 
be slain: and be ye with the king 
as he goeth out and as he cometh 
in. 

9 And / the captains over the 
hundreds did according to all things 
that Jehoiada the priest com- 
manded: and they took every 
man his men that were to come in 
on the sabbath, with them that

came to Jehoiada the priest. 

10 And to the captains over hun- 
dreds did the priest give king 
David's 9 spears and shields, that 
were in the temple of the Lord. 

11 And the guard stood, every 
man with his weapons in his 
hand, round about the king, from 
the right 6 corner of the temple to 
the left corner of the temple, along 
by the altar and the temple. 

12 And he brought forth the 
king's son, and put the crown 
upon him, and gave him the A testi- 
mony: and they made him king, 
and anointed him; and they clap- 
ped their hands, and said, 7 God 
save the king.

the noise of the guard and of the 
people, she came to the people 
into the temple of the Lord. 

14 And when she looked, behold, 
the king stood by i a pillar, as the 
manner was, and the princes and 
the trumpeters by the king; and 
all k the people of the land re- 
joiced, and blew with trumpets: 
and Athaliah rent her clothes, and 
cried, l Treason, treason! 

15 But Jehoiada the priest com- 
manded the captains of the hun- 
dreds, the officers of the host, and 
said unto them, Have her forth 
without the ranges: and him that 
followeth her kill with the sword. 
For the priest bad said, Let her 
not be slain in the house of the 
Lord. 

16 And they laid hands on her; 
and she went by the way by the 
which the horses came into the 
king's house: m and there was she 
slain. 

17 % And Jehoiada made n a cove- 
nant between the Lord and the 
king and the people, that they 
should be the Lord's people; 
between ° the king also and the 
people. 

18 And all the people of the land 
went into the p house of Baal, and 
brake it down; his altars and his 
images 2 brake they in pieces 
thoroughly, and slew Mattan the 
priest of Baal before the altars. 
And r the priest appointed 8 offi- 
cers over the house of the Lord. 

19 And he took the rulers over 
hundreds, and the captains, and 
the guard, and all the people of 
the land; and they brought down 
the king from the house of the 
Lord, and came by the way of the 
gate of the guard to the king's 
house. And he sat on the throne 
of the kings. 

20 And all s the people of the land 
rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: 
and they slew Athaliah with the 
sword beside the king's house.

when he began to reign.

his days wherein Jehoiada the 
priest instructed him, 

3 But b the high places were not 
token away; the people still sacri- 
ficed and burnt incense in the 
high places. 

4 % And Jehoash said to the 
priests, c All the money of the 
1 dedicated things that is brought 
into the house of the Lord, even 
the d money of every one that pass- 
eth the account, 2 the money that 
every man is set at, and all the 
money that 3 cometh into any 
man's heart to bring into the 
house of the Lord, 

5 Let the priests take it to them, 
every man of his acquaintance; 
and let them repair the breaches 
of the house, wheresoever any 
breach shall be found. 

6 But it was so, that in the * three 
and twentieth year of king Jehoash 
the 6 priests had not repaired the 
breaches of the house. 

7 Then king Jehoash called for 
Jehoiada the priest, and the other 
priests, and said unto them, Why 
repair ye not the breaches of the 
house? now therefore receive no 
more money of your acquaintance, 
but deliver it for the breaches of 
the house. 

8 And the priests consented to 
receive no more money of the 
people, neither to repair the 
breaches of the house. 

9 But J ehoiada the priest took f& 
chest, and bored a hole in the lid 
of it, and set it beside the altar, on 
the right side as one cometh into 
the house of the Lord: and the 
priests that kept the 5 door put 
therein all the money that was 
brought into the house of the 
Lord. 

10 And it was so, when they saw 
that there was much money in the 
chest, that the king's 6 scribe and 
the high priest came up, and they 
7 put up in bags, and told the 
money that was found in the house 
of the Lord. 

11 And they gave the money, 
being told, into the hands of them 
that did the work, that had the 
oversight of the house of the 
Lord: and they 8 laid it out to 
the carpenters and builders that 
wrought upon the house of the 
Lord, 

12 And to masons, and hewers of 
stone, and to buy timber and 
hewed stone to repair the breaches 
of the house of the Lord, and for

all that 9 was laid out for the house 
to repair it. 
IS Howbeit there were not made 
for the house of the Lord bowls of 
silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, 
any vessels of gold, or vessels of 
silver, of the money that was 
brought into the house of the 
Lord: 

14 But they gave that to the 
workmen, and repaired therewith 
the house of the Lobd. 

15 Moreover they reckoned not 
with the men into whose hand 
they delivered the money to be 
bestowed on workmen; for they 
dealt g faithfully. 

16 The h trespass money and sin 
money was not brought into the 
house of the Lobd: *it was the 
priests'. 

17 •,[ Then / Hazael king of Syria

of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; 
he departed not therefrom. 

3 And ° the anger of the Lord 
was kindled against Israel; and he 
delivered them into the hand of 
Hazael 6 king of Syria, and into 
the hand of Ben-hadad the son of 
Hazael, all their days. 

4 And Jehoahaz c besought the 
Lord, and the Lord hearkened 
unto him; for d he saw the oppres- 
sion of Israel, because the king of 
Syria oppressed them. 

5 (And 6 the Lord gave Israel a 
saviour, so that they went out 
from under the hand of the Syri- 
ans : and the children of Israel 
dwelt in their tents, 3 as before- 
time. 

6 Nevertheless they departed not 
from the sins of the house of Jero- 
boam, who made Israel sin, but 

4 walked therein: / and there 

5 remained the grove also in 
Samaria) 

7 Neither did he leave of the 
people to Jehoahaz but fifty horse- 
men, and ten chariots, and ten 
thousand footmen; for the king of 
Syria had destroyed them, e and 
had made them like the dust by 
threshing. 

8 \ Now the rest of the acts of 
Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and 
his might, are they not written in 
the book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Israel? 

9 And Jehoahaz slept with his 
fathers; and they buried him in 
Samaria: and Joash his son reign- 
ed in his stead. 6 

10 % In the thirty and seventh 
year of Joash king of Judah began 
7 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to 
reign over Israel in Samaria, and 
reigned sixteen years. 

11 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord; he de- 
parted not from all the sins of Jero- 
boam the son of Nebat, who made 
Israel sin; bat he walked therein. 

12 And h the rest of the acts of 
Joash, and all that he did, and 
his * might wherewith he fought 
against Amaziah king of Judah, 
are they not written in the book 
of the Chronicles of the kings of 
Israel? 

13 And Joash slept with his 
fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon 
his throne: and Joash was buried 
in Samaria with the kings of 
Israel. 

14 % Now Elisha was fallen sick 
of his sickness whereof he died.

And Joash the king of Israel came 
down unto him, and wept over his 
face, and said, my father, my 
father! i the chariot of Israel, and 
the horsemen thereof! 

15 And Elisha said unto him, 
Take bow and arrows: and he 
took unto him bow and arrows. 

16 And he said to the king of 
Israel, 8 Put thine hand upon the 
bow: and he put his hand upon it: 
and Elisha put his * hands upon 
the king's hands. 

17 And he said, Open the window 
eastward: and he opened it. Then 
Elisha said, Shoot: and he shot. 
And he said, The arrow of the 
Lord's deliverance, and the 
arrow of deliverance from Syria: 
for thou shalt smite the Syrians 
in ' Aphek, till thou have con- 
sumed them. 

18 And he said, Take the arrows: 
and he took them. And he said 
unto the king of Israel, m Smite 
upon the ground: and he smote 
thrice, and stayed. 

19 And the man of God was 
wroth with him, and said, Thou 
shouldest have smitten five or six 
times; then hadst thou smitten 
Syria till thou hadst consumed it: 
whereas now thou shalt smite Syria 
but thrice. 

20 % And 9 Elisha died, and they 
buried him. And " the bands of 
the Moabites invaded the land at 
the coming in of the year. 

21 And it came to pass, as they 
were burying a man, that, behold, 
they spied a band of men; and they 
cast the man into the sepulchre of 
Elisha: and when the man 10 was 
let down, and touched the bones of 
Elisha, he ° revived, and stood 
upon his feet. 

22 ^ But p Hazael king of Syria 
oppressed Israel all the days of 
Jehoahaz. 

23 And q the Lord was gracious 
unto them, and had compassion 
on them, and had T respect unto 
them, 8 because of his covenant 
with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, 
and would not destroy them, nei- 
ther cast he them from his u pres- 
ence as yet. 

24 So Hazael king of Syria died; 
and Ben-hadad his son reigned in 
his stead. 

25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoa- 
haz 12 took again out of the hand

he is slain by a conspiracy: 21 Azariah 
succeeds him. 23 Jeroboam's wicked 
reign over Israel: 28 Zachariah succeeds 
him. 

IN a the second year of Joash son 
of Jehoahaz king of Israel 
reigned b Amaziah the son of Joash 
king of Judah. 

2 He was twenty and five years 
old when he began to reign, and 
reigned twenty and nine years 
in Jerusalem. And his mother's 
name was Jehoaddan of Jerusa- 
lem. 

3 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, yet not 
like David his father: he did ac- 
cording to all things as Joash his 
father did. 

4 Howbeit c the high places were 
not taken away- as yet the people 
did sacrifice and burnt incense on 
the high places. 

5 1f And it came to pass, as soon 
as the kingdom was confirmed in 
his hand, that he slew his servants 
which d had slain the king his 
father. 

6 But the children of the mur- 
derers he slew not: according unto 
that which is written in the book 
of the law of Moses, wherein the 
Lord commanded, saying, The 
fathers e shall not be put to death 
for the children, nor the children 
be put to death for the fathers; but 
every man shall be put to death 
for his own sin. 

7 He / slew of Edom in * the 
valley of Salt ten thousand, and 
took x Selah by war, and called the 
name of it h Joktheel unto this 
day. 

8 U Then * Amaziah sent mes- 
sengers to Jehoash, the son of 
Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of 
Israel, saying, i Come, let us look 
one another in the face. 

9 And Jehoash the king of Israel 
sent to Amaziah king of Judah, 
saying, * The thistle that was in 
Lebanon sent to the cedar * that 
was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy 
daughter to my son to wife: and 
there passed by a wild beast that 
was in Lebanon, and trode down 
the thistle. 

10 Thou hast indeed smitten 
Edom, and thine m heart hath 
lifted thee up: glory of this, and

tarry 2 at home; for why shouldest 
thou n meddle to thy hurt, that 
thou shouldest fall, even thou, and 
Judah with thee? 

11 But Amaziah would not hear. 
Therefore Jehoash king of Israel 
went up; and he and Amaziah 
king of Judah looked one another 
in the face at ° Beth-shemesh, 
which belongeth to Judah. 

12 And Judah 3 was put to the 
worse before Israel; and they fled 
every man to their tents. 

33 And Jehoash king of Israel 
took Amaziah king of Judah, the 
son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, 
at Beth-shemesh, and came to 
Jerusalem, and brake down the 
wall of Jerusalem from the p gate 
-of Ephraim unto q the corner gate, 
four hundred cubits. 

14 And he took all r the gold and 
silver, and all the vessels that were 
found in the house of the Lord, 
and in the treasures of the king's 
house, and hostages, and returned 
to Samaria. 

15 If Now s the rest of the acts of 
Jehoash which he did, and his 
might, and how he fought with 
Amaziah king of Judah, are they 
not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 

16 And Jehoash slept with his 
fathers, and was buried in Samaria 
with the kings of Israel; and Jero- 
boam his son reigned in his 
stead. 

17 1[ And 'Amaziah the son of 
Joash king of Judah lived after 
the death of Jehoash, son of Jeho- 
ahaz king of Israel, fifteen years. 

18 And the rest of the acts of 
Amaziah, are they not written in 
the book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Judah? 

19 Now u they made a conspiracy 
against him in Jerusalem: and he 
fled to * Lachish; but they sent 
after him to Lachish, and slew 
him there. 

20 And they brought him on 
horses; and he was buried at Jeru- 
salem with his fathers in the city 
of David. 

21 % And all the people of Judah 
took w Azariah, which was sixteen 
years old, and made him king in- 
stead of his father Amaziah. 

: 22 He built x Elath, and restored 
it to Judah, after that the king 
slept with his fathers.

made Israel to sin. 

25 He restored the coast of Israel

hand of his servant "Jonah, the 
son of Amittai, the prophet, which 
was of h Gath-hepher. 

26 For the Lord c saw the afflic-

IN the * twenty and seventh

king of Judah to reign. 

2 Sixteen years old was he when 
he began to reign; and he reigned 
two and fifty years in Jerusalem. 
And his mother's name was Jeco- 
liah of Jerusalem. 

3 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that his father Amaziah had 
done; 

4 Save h that the high places 
were not removed: the people 
sacrificed and burnt incense still 
on the high places.

in a several house. And Jotham

6 And the re;: of the act.s of 
Azariah, and all that he did, are 
they not -written in the book of 
the Chronicles of the kings of 
Judah? 

7 So Azariah slept ■frith his 
fathers; and c they buried him 
with his fathers in the city of 
David: and Jothani his son reigned 
in his stead 

S % In the thirty and eighth year 
of Azariah king of Judah did 
Zachariah the son of Jeroboam 
reign over Israel in Samaria six 
months, 

9 And he did thai which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, as his 
fathers had done: he departed not 
from the sins of Jeroboam the son 
of Nebat. who made Israel to sin. 

10 And Shallum the son of 
Jabesh conspired against him, 
and /smote him before the people, 
and slew him. and reigned in his 
stead. 

11 And the rest of the acts of 
Zachariah, behold, they

12 This was 9 the word of the 
Lord which he spake unto Jehu, 
saying, Thy sons shall sit on the

IS r Shallum the son of Jabesh

went up from ■ Tirzah, and came 
to Samaria, and smote Shallum 
the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and

son; come up, and save me out of 
the hand of the king of Syria, and 
out of the hand of the" king of

8 And Ahaz * took the silver and 
gold thai mm found in the house of 
the Lord, and in the treasures of 
the king's house, and sent it for a 
present to the king of Assyria! 

9 And the king of Assyria 
hearkened unto him: for the king

2 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, but not

3 Against him came up l Shal-

Hoshea became his servant, and

4 And the king of Assyria found 
conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had 
sent messengers to So king of 
Egypt, and brought no present to 
the king of Assyria, as he had done 
year by year; therefore the king of 
Assyria shut him up, and bound 
him in prison.

the king of Assyria took Samaria 
and e carried Israel away into 
Assyria, •''and placed them in Ha- 
lah and in Habor by the river of 
Gozan, and in the cities of the 
Medes. 

7 For so it was, that the children 
of Israel had sinned against the 
Lord their God, which had 
brought them up out of the land 
of Egypt, from under the hand of 
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had 
feared other gods, 

8 And 9 walked in the statutes 
of the heathen, whom the Lord 
cast out from before the children 
of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, 
which they had made. 

9 And the children of Israel did 
secretly h those things that were not 
right against the Lord their God, 
and they built them high places in 
all their cities, * from the tower 
of the watchmen to the fenced 
city. 

10 And i they set them up 
3 images * and groves l in every 
high hill, and under every green 
tree: 

11 And there they burnt incense 
in all the high places, as did the 
heathen whom the Lord carried 
away before them; and wrought 
wicked things to provoke the 
Lord to anger: 

12 For they served idols, ""whereof 
the Lord had said unto them, n Ye 
shall not do this thing. 

13 Yet the Lord testified against 
Israel and against Judah 4 by all 
the prophets, and by all ° the seers, 
saying, * Turn ye from your evil 
ways, and keep my command- 
ments and my statutes, according 
to all the law which I commanded 
your fathers, and which I sent to 
you by my servants the prophets. 

14 Notwithstanding they would 
not hear, but 3 hardened their 
necks, like to the neck of their 
fathers, that did not believe in the 
Lord their God. 

15 And they rejected his statutes, 
and r his covenant that he made 
with their fathers, and his testi- 
monies which he testified against 
them; and they followed * vanity, 
and f became vain, and went after 
the heathen that were round about 
them, concerning whom the Lord 
had charged them, that they 
should U not do like them. 

16 And they left all the com- 
mandments of the Lord their 
God, and v made them molten 



Israel carried away captive. 



2 KINGS, XVII, Idolatry of the strange nations. 



images, even two calves, w and 
made a grove, and worshipped all 
the host of heaven, s and served 
Baal. 

17 And y they caused their sons and 
their daughters to pass through the 
tire, and used z divination and en- 
chantments, and sold a themselves 
to do evil in the sight of the Lord, 
to provoke him to anger. 

18 Therefore the Lord was very 
angry with Israel, and removed 
them out of his sight: there was 
none left b but the tribe of Judah 
only. 

19 Also c Judah kept not the 
commandments of the Lord their 
God, but walked in the statutes of 
Israel which they made. 

20 And the Lord rejected all the 
seed of Israel, and afflicted them, 
and d delivered them into the 
hand of spoilers, until he had cast 
them out of his sight. 

21 For e he rent Israel from the 
house of David ; and / they made 
Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: 
and Jeroboam drave Israel from 
following the Lord, and made 
them sin a great sin. 

22 For the children of Israel 
walked in all the sins of Jeroboam 
which he did; they departed not 
from them, 

23 Until the Lord removed Israel 
out of his sight, g as he had said by 
all his servants the prophets. So 
was Israel earned away out of 
their own land to Assyria unto 
this day. 

24 -fi And h the king of Assyria 
brought men from Babylon, and 
from Cuthah, and from * Ava, and 
from Hamath, and from Sephar- 
vaim, and placed them in the cities 
of Samaria instead of the children 
of Israel: and they possessed Sa- 
maria, and dwelt in the cities 
thereof. 

25 And so it was at the beginning 
of their dwelling there, that* they 
feared not the Lord: therefore 
the Lord sent lions among them, 
which slew some of them. 

26 Wherefore they spake to the 
king of Assyria, saying, The na- 
tions which thou hast removed, 
and placed in the cities of Sama- 
ria, know not the manner of the 
God of the land: therefore he hath 
6ent lions among them, and, be- 
hold, they slay them, because they 
know not the manner of the God 
of the land.

28 Then one of the priests, whom

and taught them how they should 
fear the Lord.

est of theni priests of the high 
places, which sacrificed for them 
in the houses of the high places. 

33 They n feared the Lord, and 
served their own gods, after the 
manner of the nations 6 whom 
they carried away from thence. 

34 Unto this day they do after the 
former manners: they fear not the 
Lord, neither do they after their 
statutes, or after their ordinances, 
or after the law and command- 
ment which the Lord commanded 
the children of Jacob, ° whom he 
named Israel; 

35 With whom the Lord had 
made a covenant, and charged 
them, saying, v Ye shall not fear 
other gods, nor 2 bow yourselves to 
them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice 
to them: 

36 But the Lord, who brought 
you up out of the land of Egypt 
with great power, and a r stretched- 
out arm, s him shall ye fear, and 
him shall ye worship, and to him 
shall ye do sacrifice. 

37 And the statutes, and the or- 
dinances, and the law, and the 
commandment, which he wrote 
for you, * ye shall observe to do for 
evermore; and ye shall not fear 
other gods. 

38 And the covenant that I have 
made with you w ye shall not for- 
get; neither shall ye 
gods.

40 Howheit they did not hearken,

CHAPTER XVHI. 

1 Hezekiah's good reign: 4 he destroys 
idolatry. 17 Sennacherib besieges Jeru- 
salem. 

NOW it came to pass, in the 
third year of Hoshea son of 
Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah 
the ° son of Ahaz king of Judah 
hegan to reign. 

2 Twenty and five years old was 
he when he hegan to reign; and 
he reigned twenty and nine years 
in Jerusalem. His mother's name 
also was h Abi, the daughter of 
Zachariah. 

3 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that David his father did. 

4 He c removed the high places, 
and brake the x images, and cut 
down the groves, and brake in 
pieces the « brasen serpent that 
Moses had made: for unto those 
days the children of Israel did 
burn incense to it; and he called 
it 2 Nehushtan. 

5 He * trusted in the Lord God of 
Israel; so ■''that after him was none 
like him among all the kings of 
Judah, nor any that were before 
him. 

6 For he 9 clave to the Lord, and 
departed not 3 from following 
him, but kept his command- 
ments, which the Lord com- 
manded Moses. 

7 And the Lord h was with him; 
and he prospered * whithersoever 
he went forth: and he & rebelled 
against the king of Assyria, and 
served him not. 

8 He * smote the Philistines, even 
unto 4 Gaza, and the borders there- 
of, from the tower of the watchmen 
to the fenced city. 

9 *\ And l it came to pass in the 
fourth year of king Hezekiah, 
which was the seventh year of 
Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, 
that Shahnaneser king of Assyria 
came up against Samaria, and be- 
sieged it

10 And at the end of three years 
they took it; even in the sixth year 
of Hezekiah, that is m the ninth 
year of Hoshea king of Israel, 
Samaria was taken. 

11 And the king of Assyria did 
carry away Israel unto Assyria, 
and put them n in Halah and in 
Habor by the river of Gozan, and 
in the cities of the Medes; 

12 Because ° they obeyed not the 
voice of the Lord their God, but 
transgressed his covenant, and all 
that Moses the servant of the Lord 
commanded, and would not hear 
them, nor do them. 

13 If Now p in the fourteenth 3 f ear 
of king Hezekiah did 5 Sennacherib 
king of Assyria come up against all 
the fenced cities of Judah, and 
took them. 

14 And Hezekiah king of Judah 
sent to the king of Assyria to 
Lachish, saying, I have offended; 
return from me: that which thou 
puttest on me will I bear. And 
the king of Assyria appointed unto 
Hezekiah king of Judah three hun- 
dred talents of silver, and thirty 
talents of gold. 

15 And Hezekiah ff gave him all 
the silver that was found in the 
house of the Lord, and in the 
treasures of the king's house. 

16 At that time did Hezekiah 
cut off the gold from the doors of 
the temple of the Lord, and /row 
the pillars which Hezekiah king 
of Judah had overlaid, and gave 
6 it to the king of Assyria. 

17 And the king of Assyria sent 
Tartan, and Kabsaris, and Kab- 
shakeh, from Lachish to king 
Hezekiah with a 7 great host 
against Jerusalem: and they went 
up, and came to Jerusalem. And 
when they were come up, they 
came and stood by the conduit 
of the upper pool, r which is 
in the high way of the fuller's 
field. 

18 And when they had called to 
the king, there came out to them 
Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which 
was over the household, and 
Shebna the 8 scribe, and Joah the 
son of Asaph the recorder. 

19 And Eab-shakeh said unto 
them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, 
Thus saith the great king, the 
king of Assyria, 8 What confidence 
is this wherein thou trustest? 

20 Thou 9 sayest, (but they are but 
10 vain words,) n I have counsel and 
strength for the war. Now on

whom dost thou trust, that thou 
rehellest ' against me? 

21 Now, u behold, thou 12 trustest 
upon the staff of this bruised reed, 
even upon Egypt, on which if a man 
lean, it will go into his hand, and 
pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of 
Egypt unto all that trust on him. 

22 But if ye say unto me, We 
trust in the Lokd our. God: is not 
that he whose high v places and 
whose altars Hezekiah hath taken 
away, and hath said to Judah and 
Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before 
this altar in Jerusalem? 

23 Now therefore, I pray thee, 
give 13 pledges to my lord the 
king of Assyria, and I will deliver 
thee two thousand horses, if thou 
be able on thy part to set riders 
upon them. 

24 How then wilt thou turn away 
the face of one captain of the least 
of my master's servants, and put 
thy trust on Egypt for chariots 
and for horsemen ? 

25 Am I now come up without 
the Lord against this place to 
destroy it? The Lokd w said to 
me, Go up against this land, and 
destroy it. 

26 Then said Eliakim the son of 
Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, 
Unto Bab-shakeh, Speak, I pray 
thee, to thy servants in the Syrian 
language; for we understand it; 
and talk not with us in the Jews' 
language in the ears of the people 
that are on the wall. 

27ButEab-shakeh said unto them, 
Hath my master sent me to thy 
master, and to thee, to speak these 
words? hath he not sent me to the 
men which sit on the wall, that 
they may eat their own dung, and 
drink 14 their own piss with you? 

28 % Then Bab-shakeh stood, and 
cried with a loud voice in the Jews' 
language, and spake, saying, Hear 
the word of the great king, the 
king of Assyria: 

29 Thus saith the king, x Let not 
Hezekiah deceive you; for he shall 
not be able to deliver you out of 
his hand: 

30 Neither let Hezekiah make 
you trust in the Lord, saying, The 
Lokd 'will surely deliver us, and 
this city shall not be delivered 
into the hand of the king of 
Assyria. 

31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for 
thus saith the king of Assyria, 
15 Make an agreement with mb by a 
present, and come out to me, and

then eat ye every man of his own

32 Until I come and take you 
away to a land bike your own

land of bread and vineyards, a 
land of oil olive and of honey, that 
ye may live, and not die: and 
hearken not unto Hezekiah, when 
he 17 persuadeth you, saying, The 
Lord will deliver us. 

33 Hath ' any of the gods of the 
nations delivered at all his land 
out of the hand of the king of 
Assyria? 

34 Where ° are the gods of Ha- 
math, and of Arpad? where are 
the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, 
and * Ivah? have they delivered 
Samaria out of mine hand? 

35 Who are they among all the 
gods of the countries, that have 
delivered their country out of mine 
hand, c that the Lokd should de- 
liver Jerusalem out of mine hand? 

38 But the people held their 
peace, and answered him not a 
word: for the king's command. 
ment was, saying, Answer him 
not. 

37 Then came Eliakim the son of 
Hilkiah, which was over the house- 
hold, and Shebna the scribe, and 
Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, 
to Hezekiah, d with their clothes 
rent, and told him the words of 
Bab-shakeh. 

CHAPTEB XIX. 

1 Hezekiah, in deep affliction, 6 comforted 
by Isaiah. 8 Sennacherib sends a blas- 
phemous letter to Hezekiah. 14 Heze- 
Iciah's prayer. 35 An angel destroys the 
Assyrians. 36 Sennacherib slain. 

AND it came to pass, when 
king Hezekiah heard it, that 
he rent his clothes, and covered 
himself with sackcloth, and went 
into the house of the a Lord. 

2 And he sent Eliakim, which 
was over the household, and Sheb- 
na the scribe, and the elders of 
the priests, covered with sack- 
cloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the 
son of Amoz. 

3 And they said unto him, Thus 
saith Hezekiah, This day is a day 
of trouble, and of rebuke, and 
1 blasphemy: for the children are 
come to the birth, and there is not 
strength to bring forth. 

4 It b may be the Lord thy God 
will hear all the words of Bab- 
shakeh, c whom the king of Assyria 



Isaiah prophesies 



2 KINGS, XIX. the destruction of the Assyrians. 



his master hath sent to reproach 
the living God; and will d reprove 
the words which the Lord thy God 
hath heard: wherefore e lift up thy 
prayer for the remnant that are 
2 left. 

5 So the servants of king Hezekiah 
came to Isaiah. 

6 ^ And-'' Isaiah said unto them, 
Thus shall ye say to your master, . 
Thus saith the Lord, 9 Be not 
afraid of the words which thou 
hast heard, with which the ser- 
vants of the king of Assyria have 
blasphemed me. 

7 Behold, I will send h a blast 
upon him, and he shall hear a 
rumour, and shall return to his 
own land; and I will cause him 
to fall by the sword in his own 
land. 

8 H So Bab-shakeh returned, and 
found the king of Assyria war- 
ring against Libnah: for he had 
heard that he was departed from 
* Lachish. 

9 AndJ 1 ' when he heard say of Tir- 
hakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, 
he is come out to fight against 
thee; he sent messengers again 
unto Hezekiah, saying, 

10 Thus shall ye speak to Heze- 
kiah king of Jud&h, saying,. Let 
not thy God * in whom thoutrust- 
est deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem 
shall not be delivered into the 
hand of the king of Assyria. 

11 Behold, thou hast heard what 
the kings of Assyria have done to 
all lands, by destroying them 
utterly: and shalt thou be deliv- 
ered? 

12 Have the gods of the nations 
delivered them which my fathers 
have destroyed; as Gozan, l and 
Haran, and Rezeph, and the chil- 
dren of m Eden which were in 
Thelasar? 

13 Where n is the king of Hamath, 
and the king of Arpad, and the 
king of the city of Sepharvaim, of 
Hena, and ° Ivah? 

14 If And p Hezekiah received the 
letter of the hand of the messen- 
gers, and read it: and Hezekiah 
went up into the house of the 
Lord, and spread it before the 
Lord. 

15 And Hezekiah prayed before 
the Lord, and said, Lord God of 
Israel, 2 which dwellest between the 
cherubim, r thou art the God, even 
thou alone, of all the kingdoms of 
the earth; thou hast made heaven 
and earth.

16 Lord, * bow down thine ear, 
and hear; open, ' Lord, thine eyes, 
and see; and hear the words of 
Sennacherib, which hath sent him 
to reproach the living God. 

17 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of 
Assyria have destroyed the nations 
and their lands, 

1 8 And have 3 cast their gods into 
the fire; for they were no gods, but 
the u work of men's hands, wood 
and stone; therefore they have 
destroyed them. 

19 Now therefore, O Lord our 
God, I beseech thee, save thou us 
out of his hand, that "all the king- 
doms of the earth may know that 
thou art the Lord God, even thou 
only. 

2Qfl Then Isaiah the son of Amoz 
sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, That 
which thou hast prayed to me 
against Sennacherib king of As- 
syria I w have heard. 

21 This is the word that the Lord 
hath spoken concerning him; The 
virgin, x the daughter of Zion, hath 
despised thee, and laughed thee to 
scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem 
hath y shaken her head at thee. 

22 "Whom hast thou reproached 
and blasphemed ? and against 
whom hast thou exalted thy voice, 
and lifted up thine eyes on high? 
even against the z Holy One of 
Israel. 

23 * By thy messengers thou hast 
reproached the Lord, and hast 
said, a With the multitude of my 
chariots I am come up to the 
height of the mountains, to the 
sides of Lebanon, and will cut 
down 5 the tall cedar trees thereof, 
and the choice fir trees thereof: 
and I will enter into the lodgings 
of his borders, and into 6 the forest 
of his Carmel. 

24 I have digged and drunk 
strange waters, and with the sole 
of my feet have I dried up all the 
rivers of 7 besieged places. 

25 8 Hast thou not heard long ago 
how b I have done it, and of ancient 
times that I have formed it? now 
have I brought it to pass, that 
thou c shouldest be to lay waste 
fenced cities into ruinous heaps. 

26 Therefore then inhabitants 
were 9 of small power, they were 
dismayed and confounded; they 
were as the grass of the field, and 
as the green herb, as d the grass on 
the house-tops, and as corn blasted 
before it be grown up.

27 But * I know tby 10 abode, 
and thy going out, and thy coming 
in, ana thy rage against me. 

28 Because thy rage againstme 
and thy tumult is come up into 
mine ears, therefore -T will put my 
hook in thy nose, and my bridle in 
thy lips, and I will turn thee back 
by the way by which thou earnest 

29 And this shall be 9 a sign unto 
thee, Ye shall eat this year such 
things as grow of themselves, and 
in the second year that which 
springeth of the same; and in the 
third year sow ye, and reap, and 
plant vineyards, and eat the fruits 
thereof. 

30 And u the remnant that is 
escaped of the house of Judah 
shall yet again take root down- 
ward, and bear fruit upward. 

31 For out of Jerusalem shall go 
forth a remnant, and 12 they that 
escape out of mount Zion: h the 
zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do 
this. 

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
concerning the king of Assyria, He 
shall not come into this city, nor 
shoot an arrow there, nor come 
before it with shield, nor cast a 
bank against it. 

33 By the way that he came, by 
the same shall he return, and shall 
not come into this city, saith the 
Lord. 

34 For * I will defend this city, to 
save it, for mine own sake, and 
for my servant^" David's sake. 

35 tf And * it came to pass that 
night, that the angel of the Lord 
went out, and smote in the camp 
of the Assyrians an hundred four- 
score and five thousand: and When 
they arose early in the morning, 
behold, they were all dead corpses. 

36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria 
departed, and went and returned, 
and dwelt at l Nineveh. 

37 And it came to pass, as he 
was worshipping in the house of 
Nisroch his god, that Adramme- 
lech and Sharezer his sons smote 
him with the sword: and they 
escaped into the land of 13 Arme-

which is good in thy sight. And 
Hezekiah wept 2 sore. 

4 And it came to pass, afore 
Isaiah was gone out into the 
middle 3 court, that the word of 
the Lord came to him, saying, 

5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah 
the captain of my people, Thus 
saith the Lord, the God of David 
thy father, d I have heard thy 
prayer, 1 have seen e thy tears: be- 
hold, I will heal thee: on the third 
day thou shalt go up unto the house 
of the Lord. 

6 And I will add unto thy days 
fifteen years; and I will deliver 
thee and this city out of the hand 
of the king of Assyria; and I / will 
defend this city for mine own sake, 
and for my servant David's sake. 

7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump 
of figs. And they took and laid it 
on the boil, and he recovered. 

8 ^ And Hezekiah said unto 
Isaiah, What shall be the sign that 
the Lord will heal me, and that 
I shall go up into the house of the 
Lord the third day? 

9 And Isaiah said, 9 This sign 
shalt thou have of the Lord, that 
the Lord will do the thing that he 
hath spoken: shall the shadow go 
forward ten degrees, or go back 
ten degrees? 

10 And Hezekiah answered, It is 
a light thing for the shadow to go 
down ten degrees: nay, but let the 
shadow return backward ten de- 
grees. 

11 And Isaiah the prophet cried 
unto the Lord; and h he brought 
the shadow ten degrees backward, 
by which it had gone down in the 
4 dial of Ahaz. 

12 % At *" that time 6 Berodach- 
balaaan, the son of Baladan, king 
of Babylon, sent letters and a pres- 
ent unto Hezekiah: for he had 
heard that Hezekiah had been 
sick. 

13 And 3 Hezekiah hearkened 
unto them, and showed them all 
the house of his 6 precious things, 
the silver, and the gold, and the

spices, and the precious ointment, 
and all the house of his 7 armour, 
and all that was found in his 
treasures: there was nothing in his 
house, nor in all his dominion, 
that Hezekiah showed them not. 

14 ^[ Then came Isaiah the pro- 
phet unto king Hezekiah, and said 
unto him, What said these men? 
and from whence came they unto 
thee ? And Hezekiah said, They 
are come from a far country, even 
from Babylon. 

15 And he said, What have they 
seen in thine house? And Heze- 
kiah answered, All the things that 
are in mine house have they seen: 
there is nothing among my treas- 
ures that I have not showed them. 

16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, 
Hear the word of the Lord: 

17 Behold, the days come, that 
all that is in thine house, and that 
which thy fathers have laid up in 
store unto this day, * shall he car- 
ried into Babylon: nothing shall 
be left, saith the Lord. 

18 And of thy sons that shall 
issue from thee, which thou shalt 
beget, l shall they take away; 8 and 
they shall be eunuchs in the palace 
of the king of Babylon. 

19 Then said Hezekiah unto 
Isaiah, m Good is the word of the 
Lord which thou hast spoken. 
And he said, 9 Is it not good, if 
peace and truth be in my days? 

20 % And the rest of the acts of 
Hezekiah, and all his might, and 
how he "made a pool, and a con- 
duit, and brought water into the 
city, are they not written in the 
book of the Chronicles of the kings 
of Judah? 

21 And Hezekiah slept with his 
fathers: and Manasseh his son 
reigned in his stead.

altars for Baal, and made a grove, 
as c did Ahab king of Israel; and 
worshipped d all the host of heaven, 
and served them. 

4 And * he built altars in the 
house of the Lord, of which the 
Lord said, 'In Jerusalem will I 
put my name. 

5 And he built altars for all the 
host of heaven in the two courts of 
the house of the Lord. 

6 And g he made his son pass 
through the fire, and observed 
times, A and used enchantments, 
and dealt with familiar spirits and 
wizards: he wrought much wicked- 
ness in the sight of the Lord, to 
provoke him to anger. 

7 And he set a graven image of 
the grove that he had made in the 
house, of which the Lord said to 
David, and to Solomon his son, 
In *, this house, and in Jerusalem, 
which I have chosen out of all 
tribes of Israel, will I put my 
name for ever. 

8 Neither will I make the feet oi 
Israel move any more out of the 
land which I gave their fathers; 
only if they will observe to do 
according to all that I have com- 
manded them, and according to 
all the law that my servant Moses 
commanded them. 

9 But they hearkened not: and 
Manasseh seduced i them to do 
more evil than did the nations 
whom the Lord destroyed before 
the children of Israel. 

10 1f And the Lord spake by his 
servants the prophets, saying, 

11 Because k Manasseh king of 
Judah hath done these abomina- 
tions, l and hath done wickedly 
above all that the Amorites did, 
which were before him, and hath 
made Judah also to sin with his 
idols; 

12 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, Behold, I am bring- 
ing such evil upon Jerusalem and 
Judah, that whosoever heareth of 
it, both m his ears shall tingle. 

13 And I will stretch over Jeru- 
salem "■ the line of Samaria, and 
the plummet of the house of Ahab; 
and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man 
wipeth a dish, x wiping it, and 
turning it upside down. 

14 And I will forsake ° the rem- 
nant of mine inheritance, and de- 
liver them into the hand of their 
enemies; and they shall become 
a prey and a spoil to all their 
enemies;

15 Because they have done that 
which was evil in my sight, and 
have provoked me to anger, since 
the day 'their fathers came forth 
out of Egypt, even unto this day. 

16 Moreover Manasseh ^shed 
innocent blood very much, till he 
had filled Jerusalem 2 from one end 
to another; besides his sin where- 
with he made Judah to sin, in 
doing that which was evil in the 
sight of the Lord. 

17 1f Now q the rest of the acts of 
Manasseh, and all that he did, and 
his sin that, he sinned, are they not 
written in the book of the Chron- 
icles of the kings of Judah? 

18 And r Manasseh slept with his 
fathers, and was buried in the 
garden of his own house, in the 
garden of Uzza: and Amon his son 
reigned in his stead. 

19 *H Amon s was twenty and two 
years old when he began to reign; 
and he reigned two years in Jeru- 
salem. And his mother's name 
was Meshullemeth, the daughter 
of Haruz of Jotbah. 

20 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, as his 
father Manasseh did. 

21 And he walked in all the way 
that his father walked in, and. 
served the idols that his father 
served, and worshipped them: 

22 And he ' forsook the Lord God 
of his fathers, and walked not in 
the way of the Lord. 

23 And M the servants of Amon 
conspired against him, and slew 
the king in his own house. 

24 And the people of the land 
slew all them that had conspired 
against king Amon: and the 
people of the land made Josiah 
his son king in his stead. 

25 Now the rest of the acts of 
Amon which he did, are they not 
written in the book of the Chron- 
icles of the kings of Judah? 

26 And he was buried in his sep- 
ulchre in the garden of Uzza: and 
Josiah " his son reigned in his 
stead.

in the sight of the Lord, and 
walked in all the way of David 
his father, and c turned not aside 
to the right hand or to the left. 

3 % And d it came to pass in the 
eighteenth year of king Josiah, 
thai the king sent Shaphan the 
son of Azaliah, the son of Meshul- 
lam, the scribe, to the house of the 
Lord, saying, 

4^ Go up to Hilkiah the high 
priest, that he may sum the silver 
which is e brought into the house 
of the Lord, which / the keepers 
of the l door have gathered of the 
people: 

5 And let them ° deliver it into 
the hand of the doers of the work, 
that have the oversight of the 
house of the Lord: and let them 
give it to the doers of the work 
which is in the house of the Lord, 
to repair the breaches of the house, 

6 Unto carpenters, and builders, 
and masons, and to buy timber 
and hewn stone to repair the 
house. 

7 Howbeit h there was no reckon- 
ing made with them of the money 
that was delivered into their hand, 
because they dealt * faithfully. 

8 \ And Hilkiah the high priest 
said unto Shaphan the scribe, \ I 
have found the book of the law in 
the house of the Lord. And Hil- 
kiah gave the book to Shaphan, 
and he read it. 

9 And Shaphan the scribe came 
to the king, and brought the king 
word again, and said, Thy servants 
have 2 gathered the money that 
was found in the house, and have 
delivered it into the hand of them 
that do the work, that have the 
oversight of the house of the Lord. 

10 And Shaphan the scribe showed 
the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest 
hath delivered me a book. And 
Shaphan * read it before the king. 

11 And it came to pass, when the 
king had heard the words of the 
book of the law, that he rent his 
clothes. 

12 And the king commanded 
Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam 
the son of Shaphan, and { Achbor 
the son of 3 Michaiah, and Shaphan 
the scribe, and Asahiah a servant 
of the king's, saying, 

13 Go ye, '" enquire of the Lord 
for me, and for the people, and for 
all Judah, concerning the words 
of this book that is found: for 
great is n the wrath of the Lord 
that is kindled against us, because

our fathers have not hearkened 
unto the words of this hook, to do 
according unto all that which is 
written concerning us. 

14 So Hilkiah the priest, and 
Ahikam, and Achhor, and Sha- 
phan, and Asahiah, went unto 
Huldah the ° prophetess, the wife 
of Shallum the son of* Tikvah, the 
son of 4 Harhas, keeper of the 
5 wardrobe; (now she dwelt in 
Jerusalem 6 m the college;) and 
they communed with her. 

15 And she said unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell 
the man that sent you to me, 

16 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, 
I q will bring evil upon this place, 
and upon the inhabitants thereof, 
even all the words of the book 
which the king of Judah hath 
read: 

17 Because they have forsaken 
me, and have burnt incense unto 
other gods, that they might pro- 
voke me to anger with all the 
works r of their hands; therefore 
my wrath shall be kindled against 
this place, and shall not be 
quenched. 

18 But to *the king of Judah, 
which sent you to enquire of the 
Lord, ' thus shall ye say to him, 
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, 
As touching the words which thou 
hast heard; 

19 Because thine u heart was 
tender, and thou hast v humbled 
thyself before the Lord, when thou 
heardest what I spake against 
this place, and against the in- 
habitants thereof, that they should 
become w a desolation and x a 
curse, and hast rent thy clothes, 
and wept before me; I also have 
heard thee, saith the Lord. 

20 Behold therefore, I will gather 
thee unto thy fathers, and thou 
shalt y be gathered into thy grave 
in peace; and thine eyes shall not 
see all the evil which I will bring 
upon this place. And they brought 
the king word again.

all the people, 1 both small and 
great: and he read in their ears all 
the words of the book of the cove- 
nant 6 which was found in the house 
of the Lord. 

3 And the king c stood by a pillar, 
and made a covenant before the 
Lord, to walk after the Lord, and 
to keep his commandments and 
his testimonies and his statutes 
with all their heart and all their 
soul, to perform the words of this 
covenant that were written in this 
book: and d all the people stood 
to the covenant. 

4 And the king commanded 
Hilkiah the high priest, and the 
priests of the second order, and 
the keepers of the door, to bring 
forth out of the temple of the 
Lord all the vessels that were 
made for Baal, and for the 6 grove, 
and for all the host of heaven; 
and he burned them without 
Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, 
and canied the ashes of them unto 
Beth-eL 

5 And he 2 put down 3 the idol- 
atrous priests, whom the kings of 
Judah had ordained to burn in- 
cense in the high places in the 
cities of Judah, and in the places 
round about Jerusalem; them also 
that burnt incense unto Baal, to 
the sun, and to the moon, and to 
the 4 planets, and to all / the host 
of heaven. 

6 And he brought out the grove 
from the house of the Lord, with- 
out Jerusalem, unto the brook 
Kidron, and burnt it at the brook 
Kidron, and stamped it small to 
powder, and cast the powder 
thereof upon the g graves of the 
children of the people. 

7 And he brake down the houses 
of A the sodomites, that were by 
the house of the Lord, * where the 
women wove 5 hangings for the 
grove. 

8 And he brought all the priests 
out of the cities of Judah, and de- 
filed the high places where the 
priests had burnt incense, from 
Geba i to Beer-sheba, and brake 
down the high places of the gates 
that were in the entering in of the 
gate of Joshua the governor of the 
city, which were on a man's left 
hand at the gate of the city. 

9 Nevertheless k the priests of the 
high places came not up to the 
altar of the Lord in Jerusalem,

but l they did eat of the unleavened 
bread among their brethren. 

10 And he defiled m Topheth, 
which is in the " valley of the chil- 
dren of Hinnom, that ° no man 
might make his son or his daughter 
to pass through the fire to Molech. 

11 And he took away the horses 
that the kings of Judah had given 
to p the sun, at the entering in of 
the house of the Lord, by the 
chamber of Nathan-melech the 

6 chamberlain, which was in the 
suburbs, and burned the chariots 
of the sun with fire. 

12 And the altars that were q on 
the top of the upper chamber of 
Ahaz, which the kings of Judah 
had made, and the altars which 
Manasseh r had made in the two 
courts of the house of the Lord, 
did the king beat down, and 

7 brake them down from thence, 
and cast the dust of them into the 
brook Kidron, 

13 And the high places that were 
before Jerusalem, which were on 
the right hand of 8 the mount of 
Corruption, which * Solomon the 
king of Israel had builded for Ash- 
toreth the abomination of the 
Sidonians, and for Chemosh the 
abomination of the Moabites, and 
for 9 Milcom the abomination of 
the children of Amnion, did the 
king defile. 

14 And * he brake in pieces the 
10 images, and cut down the groves, 
and filled their places with the 
bones of men. 

15 % Moreover the altar that was 
at Beth-el, and the high place 
which u Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat, who made Israel to sin, 
had made, both that altar and 
the high place he brake down, 
and burned the high place,, and 
stamped it small to powder, and 
burned the grove. 

16 And as Josiah turned himself, 
he spied the sepulchres that were 
there in the mount, and sent, and 
took the bones out of the sep- 
ulchres, and burned them upon the 
altar, and polluted it, according to 
the word * of the Lord, which the 
man of God proclaimed, who pro- 
claimed these words. 

17 Then he said, What title is. 
that that I see? And the men of 
the city told him, It is the sep- 
ulchre of the man of God, which 
came from Judah, and proclaimed 
these things that thou hast done 
against the altar of Beth-eL

18 And he said, Let him alone; 
let no man move his bones. So 
they let his bones n alone, with 
the bones of the prophet that 
came out of Samaria. 

19 And all the houses also of the 
high places that were w in the cities 
of Samaria, which the lungs of 
Israel had made to provoke the 
LORD to anger, Josiah took 
away, and did to them according 
to all the acts that he had done 
in Beth-el. 

20 And he 12 slew all the priests 
of the high places that were there 
upon the altars, and x burned 
men's bones upon them, and re- 
turned to Jerusalem. 

21 ^ And the king commanded 
all the people, saying, y Keep the 
passover unto the Lord your God, 
as " it is written in the book of this 
covenant. 

22 Surely there was not holden 
such a passover from the days of 
the judges that judged Israel, nor 
in all the days of the kings of 
Israel, nor of the kings of Judah; 

23 But in the eighteenth year of 
king Josiah, wherein this passover 
was holden to the Lord in Jeru- 
salem. 

24 % Moreover a the workers with 
familiar spirits, and the wizards, 
and the u images, and the idols, 
and all the abominations that were 
spied in the land of Judah and in 
Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, 
that he might perform the words 
of b the law which were written in 
the book that Hilkiah the priest 
found in the house of the Lord. 

25 And c like unto him was there 
no king before him, that turned to 
the Lord with all his heart, and 
with all his soul, and with all his 
might, according to all the law of 
Moses; neither after him arose 
there any like him. 

26 Notwithstanding the Lord 
turned not from the fierceness of 
his great wrath, wherewith his 
anger was kindled against Judah, 
because d of all the u provocations 
that Manasseh had provoked liim 
withal. 

27 And the Lord said, I will re- 
move Judah also out of my sight, 
as e I have removed Israel, and will 
cast off this city Jerusalem which 
I have chosen, and the house of 
which I said, * My name shall be 
there.

they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 

29 In his days Pharaoh-nechoh 
king of Egypt went up against 
the king of Assyria to the river 
Euphrates: and king Josiah went 
against him; and he slew him g at 
Megiddo, when he h had seen him. 

30 And his servants carried him 
in a chariot dead from Megiddo, 
and brought him to Jerusalem, 
and buried him in his own sep- 
ulchre. And the people of the 
land took * Jehoahaz the son of 
Josiah, and anointed him, and 
made him king in his father's 
stead. 

31 J[ Jehoahaz was twenty and 
three years old when he began to 
reign; and he reigned three 
months in Jerusalem. And his 
mother's name was J Hamutal, 
the daughter of Jeremiah of Lib- 
nah. 

32 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that his fathers had done. 

33 And Pharaoh-nechoh put him 
in bands at k Eiblah, in the land 
of Hamath, , 15 that he might not 
reign in Jerusalem; and 16 put the 
land to a tribute of an hundred 
talents of silver, and a talent of 
gold. 

34 And Pharaoh-nechoh made 
Eliakim the son of Josiah king in 
the room of Josiah his father, and 
turned l his name to m Jehoiakim, 
and took Jehoahaz away: and n he 
came to Egypt, and died there. 

35 And Jehoiakim gave the 
silver and the gold to Pharaoh; 
but he taxed the land to give the 
money according to the com- 
mandment of Pharaoh: he ° exact- 
ed the silver and the gold of the 
people of , the land, of every one 
according to his taxation, to give 
it unto Pharaoh-nechoh. 

36 ^[ Jehoiakim was twenty and 
five years old when he began to 
reign; and he reigned eleven years 
in Jerusalem. And his mother's 
name was Zebudah, the daughter 
of Pedaiah of Bumah. 

37 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that his fathers had done.

rebelled against him. 

2 And b the Lord sent against 
him bands of the Chaldees, and 
bands of the Syrians, and bands of 
the Moabites, and bands of the 
children of Ammon, and sent 
them against Judah to destroy it, 
according c to the word of the 
Lord, which he spake * by his ser- 
vants the prophets. 

3 Surely at the commandment of 
the Lord came this upon Judah, 
to remove them out of his sight, 
for d the sins of Manasseh, accord- i 
ing to all that he did; 

4 And e also for the innocent 
blood that he shed: for he filled 
Jerusalem with innocent blood; 
which/ the Lord would not pardon. 

5 ^ Now the rest of the acts of 
Jehoiakim, and all that he did, 
are they not written in the book 
of the Chronicles of the kings of 
Judah? 

6 So 9 Jehoiakim slept with his 
fathers: and Jehoiachin his son 
reigned in his stead. 

7 And h the king of Egypt came 
not again any more out of his 
land: for i. the king of Babylon 
had taken from the river of Egypt 
unto the river Euphrates all that 
pertained to the king of Egypt. 

8 % 2 Jehoiachin was eighteen 
years old when he began to reign; 
and he reigned in Jerusalem three 
months. And his mother's name 
was Nehushta, the daughter of 
Elnathan of Jerusalem. 

9 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that his father had done. 

10 If At i that time the servants 
of Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby- 
lon came up against Jerusalem, 
and the city * was besieged. 

11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon came against the city, 
and his servants did besiege it. 

12 And k Jehoiachin the king of 
Judah went out to the king of 
Babylon, he, and his mother, and 
his servants, and his princes, and 
his 4 officers : l and the king of 
Babylon m took him n in the eighth 
year of his reign. 

13 And ° he carried out thence 
all the treasures of the house of 
the Lord, and the treasures of the 
king's house, and * cut in pieces 
all the vessels of gold which Solo- 
mon king of Israel had made in 
the temple of the Lord, q as the 
Lord had said. 



Jehoiachin carried away captive. 2 KINGS, XXV. Zedekiah taken by the Chaldeans. 



14 And r he carried away all 
Jerusalem, and all the princes, 
and all the mighty men of valour, 
even ten thousand captives, and 
all " the craftsmen and smiths : 
none remained, save ' the poorest 
sort of the people of the land. 

15 And M he carried away Jehoi- 
achin to Babylon, and the king's 
mother, and the king's wives, and 
his 5 officers, and the mighty of the 
land; those carried he into captivity 
from Jerusalem to Babylon. 

16 And v all the men of might, 
even seven thousand, and craftsmen 
and smiths a thousand, all that were 
strong and apt for war, even them 
the king of Babylon brought cap- 
tive to Babylon. 

17 And w the king of Babylon 
made z Mattaniah his father's 
brother king in his stead, y and 
changed his name to Zedekiah. 

18 % Zedekiah s was twenty and 
one years old when he began to 
reign; and he reigned eleven years 
in Jerusalem. And a his mother's 
name icas Hamutal, the daughter 
of Jeremiah of Libnah. 

19 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, accord- 
ing to all that Jehoiakim had 
done. 

20 For h through the anger of the 
Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem 
and Judah, until he had cast 
them out from his presence, that 
Zedekiah c rebelled against the 
king of Babylon. 

CHAPTER XXV. 

1 Jerusalem again besieged. 4 Zedekiah 
token, his sons slain, 'and his eyes put

AND it came to pass a in the 
ninth year of his reign, in the 
ienth month, in the tenth day of 
the month, that Nebuchadnezzar 
king of Babylon came, he, and all 
his host, against Jerusalem, and 
pitched against it; and they built 
forts against it round about 

2 And the city was besieged unto 
the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 

3 And on the ninth day of the 
fourth month the famine prevailed 
in the city, and there was no bread 
for the people of the land. 

4 And the city was broken up, 
and all the men of war fled by 
night by the way of the gate 
between two walls, which is by 
the king's garden; (now the Chal- 
dees were against the city round 
about;) and 6 the king went the 
way toward the plain.

1 gave judgment upon him. 

7 And they slew the sons of 
Zedekiah before his eyes, and 2 put 
out the eyes of Zedekiah, and 
bound him with fetters of brass, 
and carried him to Babylon. 

8 S\ And in the fifth month, on 
the seventh day of the month, 
which is d the nineteenth year of 
king Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon, came Nebuzar - adan, 

3 captain of the guard, a servant 
of the king of Babylon, unto Jeru- 
salem: 

9 And e he burnt the house of 
the Lord, and ( the king's house, 
and all the houses of Jerusalem, 
and every great man's house burnt 
he with fire. 

10 And all the army of the Chal- 
deefs that were with the captain 
of the guard, 9 brake down the 
walls of Jerusalem round about 

11 Now h the rest of the people 
that were left in the city, and the 

4 fugitives that fell away to the 
king of Babylon, with the rem- 
nant of the multitude, did Nebu- 
zar-adan, the captain of the guard, 
carry away. 

12 But the captain of the guard 
left * of the poor of the land to be 
vinedressers and husbandmen. 

13 And ■> the pillars of k brass that 
were in the house of the Lord, and 
the bases, and the brasen sea, that 
was in the house of the Lord, did 
the Chaldees break in pieces, and 
carried the brass of them to Baby- 
lon. 

14 And l the pots, and the shov- 
els, and the snuffers, and the 
spoons, and all the vessels of brass 
wherewith they ministered, took 
they away. 

15 And the fire-pans, and the 
bowls, and such * things as were of 
gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, 
the captain of the guard took away. 

16 The two pillars, 5 one sea, and 
the bases which Solomon had 
made for the house of the Lord; 
the brass of all these vessels was 
without weight. 

17 The height of the one pillar was 
eighteen cubits, and the chapiter 
upon it was brass; and the height

these had the second pillar with 
wreathen work. 

18 % And n the captain of the 
guard took Seraiah ° the chief 
priest, and ^Zephaniah the second 
priest, and the three keepers of

land, and threescore men of the 
people of the land that were found 
in the city:

them to the king of Babylon to 
Eiblah: 

21 And the king of Babylon smote 
them, and slew them at Eiblah in 
the land of Hamath. r So Judah 
was carried away out of their land.

remained in the land of Judah,

lies; and the house of their fathers 
increased greatly. 

39 % And they went to the en- 
trance of Gedor, even unto the east 
side of the valley, to seek pasture 
for their flocks. 

40 And they found fat pasture 
and good, and the land was wide, 
and quiet, and peaceable; for they 
of i Ham had dwelt there of old. 

41 And these written by name 
came in the days of Hezekiah king 
of Judah, and smote k their tents, 
Rnd the habitations that were 
found there, and destroyed them 
utterly unto this day, and dwelt 
in their rooms; because there was 
pasture there for their flocks. 

42 And some of them, even of the 
sons of Simeon, five hundred men, 
went to mount Seir, having for 
their captains Pelatiah, and Nea- 
riah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, 
the sons of Ishi. 

43 And they smote l the rest of 
the Amalekites that were escaped, 
and dwelt there unto this day.

riah, 

8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the

who dwelt h in Aroer, even unto 
Nebo and Baal-meon: 

9 And eastward he inhabited 
unto the entering in of the wilder- 
ness from the river Euphrates; 
because their cattle were multi 
plied *' in the land of Gilead. 

10 And in the days of Saul they 
made war with i the Hagarites, 
who fell by their hand: and they 
dwelt in their tents 4 throughout 
all the east land of Gilead. 

11 If And the children of Gad 
dwelt over against them, in the 
land of k Bashan, unto Salcah: 

12 Joel the chief, and Shapham 
the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat 
in Bashan. 

13 And their brethren, of the 
house of their fathers, were Mi- 
chael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, 
and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, 
and Heber, seven. 

14 These are the children of Abi- 
hail the son of Huri, the son of 
Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son 
of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, 
the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz; 

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son 
of Guni, chief of the house of their 
fathers. 

16 And they dwelt in Gilead in 
Bashan, and in her towns, and in 
all the suburbs of l Sharon, upon 
5 their borders. 

17 All these were reckoned by 
genealogies in the days of m Jotham 
king of Judah, and in the days of 
Jeroboam n king of Israel. 

18 % The sons of Reuben, and the 
Gadites, and half the tribe of Man- 
asseh, 6 of valiant men, men able 
to bear buckler and sword, and to 
shoot with bow, and skilful in war, 
were four and forty thousand seven 
hundred and threescore, that went 
out to the war. 

19 And they made war with the 
Hagarites, with ° Jetur, and Ke- 
phish, and Nodab.

20 And they were helped against 
them, and the Hagarites were de- 
livered into then hand, and all 
that were with them: for they cried 
to God in the "battle, and he was 
entreated of them; because they 
put v their trust in him. 

21 And they 7 took away their 
cattle; of their camels fifty thou- 
sand, and of sheep two hundred 
and fifty thousand, and of asses 
two thousand, and of 8 men an 
hundred thousand. 

22 For there fell down many 
slain, because the war was q of 
God. And they dwelt in their 
steads until r the captivity. 

23 f And the children of the half 
tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the 
land: they increased from Bashan 
unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and 
unto mount Hermon. 

24 And these were the heads of 
the house of their fathers, even 
Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and 
Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hoda- 
viah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of 
valour, 9 famous men, and heads of 
the house of their fathers. 

25 ^ And they * transgressed 
against the God of their fathers, 
and went a whoring after the gods 
of the people of the land, whom 
God destroyed before them. 

26 And the God of Israel stirred 
up the spirit of Pul king of Assy- 
ria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pil- 
neser king of Assyria, and he 
carried them away, even the 
Eeubenites, and the Gadites, and 
the half tribe of Manasseh, and 
brought them unto Halah, and 
Habor, and Hara, and to the river 
Gozan, unto this day.

his sons. 

NOW » the Philistines fought 
against Israel; and the men 
of Israel fled from before the Phil- 
istines, and fell down 1 slain in 
mount Gilboa. 

2 And the Philistines followed 
hard after Saul, and after his sons; 
and the Philistines slew Jonathan, 
and 2 Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, 
the sons of Saul. 

3 And the battle went sore 
against Saul, and the 3 archers 
4 hit him, and he was wounded of 
the archers. 

4 Then said Saul to his armour- 
bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust 
me through therewith, lest these 
uncircumcised come and 5 abuse 
me. But his armour-bearer would 
not; for he was sore afraid. So 
Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 

5 And when his armour-bearer 
saw that Saul was dead, he fell 
likewise on the sword, and died. 

6 So Saul died, and his three sons, 
and all his house died together. 

7 And when all the men of Israel 
that were in the valley saw that 
they fled, and that Saul and his 
sons were dead, then they forsook 
their cities, and fled: and the 
Philistines came and dwelt in 
them. 

8 f And it came to pass on the 
morrow, when the Philistines 
came to strip the slain, that they 
found Saul and his sons fallen in 
mount Gilboa. 

9 And when they had stripped 
him, they took his head, and his 
armour, and .sent into the land of 
the Philistines round about, to 
carry tidings unto then' idols, and 
to the people.

11 <([ And when all Jabesh-gilead 
heard all that the Philistines had 
done to Saul, 

12 They arose, all the valiant 
men, and took away the body of 
Saul, and the bodies of his sons, 
and brought them to Jabesh, and 
buried their bones under the oak 
in Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 

13 11 So Saul died for his trans- 
gression which he 6 committed 
against the Lord, even c against the 
word of the Lord, which he kept 
not, and also for asking counsel of 
one that had a d familiar spirit, e to 
enquire of it; 

14 And enquired not of the Lord: 
therefore he slew him, and/ turned 
the kingdom unto David the son 
of 7 Jesse. 

CHAPTER XL 

1 David made king: 4 he wins the castle 
of Zion from the Jebusites by Joab's 
valour: 10 a catalogue of his worthies. 

THEN a all Israel gathered them- 
selves to David unto Hebron, 
saying, Behold, we are thy bone 
and thy flesh. 

2 And moreover l in time past, 
even when Saul was king, thou 
wast he that leddest out and 
broughtest in Israel: and the Lord 
thy God said unto thee, Thoushalt 

2 feed my people Israel, and thou 
shalt be ruler over my people Is- 
rael. 

3 Therefore came all the elders of 
Israel to the king to Hebron; and 
David made a covenant with them 
in Hebron before the Lord; and 
they 5 anointed David king over 
Israel, according to the word of 
the c Lord 3 by d Samuel. 

4 % And David and all Israel 
went e to Jerusalem, which is 
Jebus, /where the Jebusites were t 
the inhabitants of the land. 

5 And the inhabitants of Jebus 
said to David, Thou shalt not 
come hither. Nevertheless David 
took the castle of Zion, which is 
the city of David. 

6 And David said, Whosoever 
smiteth the Jebusites first shall be 
4 chief and captain. So Joab the 
son of Zeruiah went first up, and 
was chief. 

7 And David dwelt in the castle; 
therefore they called 5 it the city 
of David. 

8 And he built the city round

about, even from Millo round 
' about: and Joab 6 repaired tbe rest 
of tbe city. 

9 So David 7 waxed greater and 
greater: for tbe Lord of bosts was 
•with him. 

10 f These g also are the chief 
of the mighty men whom David 
had, who 8 strengthened them- 
selves with him in bis kingdom, 
and with all Israel, to make him 
king, according to h the word of 
the Lord concerning Israel. 

11 And this is the number of the 
mighty men whom David had; 

i Jashobeam, 9 an Hachmonite, the 
chief of the captains: he hfted up 
bis spear against three hundred, 
slain by him at one time. 

12 And after him was Eleazar the 
son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who 
icas one of the three mighties. 

13 He was with David at 10 Pas- 
dammim, and there the Philis- 
tines were gathered together to 
battle, where was a parcel of 
ground full of barley; and the 
people fled from before tbe Philis- 
tines: 

14 And they n set themselves in 
the midst of that parcel, and de- 
bvered it, and slew tbe Philistines; 
and the Lord saved them by a 
great 12 debverance. 

15 Now 13 three of the thirty cap- 
tains went i down to the rock to 
David, into tbe cave of Adullaru; 
and the host of the Philistines 
encamped i in the valley of u Re- 
pbaim. 

36 And David was then in the 
hold, and the Philistines' garrison 
was then at Beth-lebem. 

17 And David longed, and said, 
Oh that one would give me drink 
of the water of the well of Beth- 
lehem, that is at the gate! 

18 And the three brake through 
the host of the Philistines, and 
drew water out of the well of 
Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, 
and took it, and brought it to 
David: but David would not drink 
of it, but poured it out to the 
Lord, 

19 And said, My God forbid it 
me, that I should do this thing: 
shall I drink the blood of these 
men 15 that have put their lives 
in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy 
of their lives they brought it. 
Therefore be would not drink it

Joab, he was chief of the three: 
for lifting up his spear against 
three hundred, he slew them, and 
had a name among the three. 

21 Of l the three he was more 
honourable than the two, for he 
was their captain: howbeit he 
attained not to the first three. 

22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 
the son of a valiant man of Kab- 
zeel, 16 who had done many acts; 
he m slew two lion-bke men of 
Moab: also be went down and 
slew a bon in a pit in a snowy

23 And he slew an Egyptian. 
17 a man of great stature, five cubits 
high; and in tbe Egyptian's hand 
was a spear like a weaver's beam; 
and he went down to him with a 
staff, and plucked the spear out of 
the Egyptian's hand, and slew 
him with his own spear. 

24 These things did Benaiah the 
son of Jehoiada, and had a name 
among the three mighties.

Ziklag: 23 the armies that came to him 
at Heoron. 

NOW ° these are they that came 
to David to 6 Ziklag, x while he 
yet kept himself close because of 
Saul the son of Kish: and they 
were among the mighty men, help- 
ers of the war. 

2 They were armed with bows, and 
could use both the right hand and 
the c left in hurling stones and 
shooting arrows out of a bow, even 
of Saul's brethren of Benjamin. 

3 The chief was Ahiezer, then

14 These were of the sons of Gad, 
captains of the host: 5 one of the 
least was over an hundred, and the 
greatest over a thousand. 

15 These are they that went over 
Jordan in the first month, when 
it had 6 overflown all his h banks; 
and they put to flight all tJiem of 
the valleys, both toward the east 
and toward the west. 

16 And there came of the chil- 
dren of Benjamin and Judah to 
the hold unto David. 

17 And David went out 7 to meet 
them, and answered and said unto 
them, If ye be come peaceably 
unto me to help me, mine heart 
shall 8 be knit unto you: but if ye 
be come to betray me to mine ene- 
mies, seeing there is no 9 wrong in 
mine hands, the God of our fathers 
look thereon, and * rebuke it. 

18 Then 10 the spirit came-?" upon 
Amasai, who was chief of the cap- 
tains, and he said. Thine are we, 
David, and on thy side, thou son 
of Jesse: peace, peace be unto 
thee, and peace be to thine helpers; 
for thy God helpeth thee. Then 
David received them, and made 
them captains of the band. 

19 And there fell some of Manas- 
seh to David, k when he came with 
the Philistines against Saul to bat- 
tle: but they helped them not: for 
the lords of the Philistines upon 
advisement sent him away, saying, 
He l will fall to his master Saul 

11 to the jeopardy of our heads. 

20 As he went to Ziklag, there 
fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, 
and Jozabad, and Jediael, and 
Michael and Jozabad, and Elihu, 
and Zilthai, captains of the thou- 
sands that were of Manasseh. 

21 And they helped David 

12 against m the band of the rovers; 
for they were all mighty men of val- 
our, and were captains in the host. 

22 For at that time day by day 
there came to David to help him, 
until it was a great host, like the 
host of God. 

23 1f And these are the numbers 
of the 13 bands that were ready 
armed to the war, and n came to 
David to Hebron, to ° turn the 
kingdom of Saul to him, * accord- 
ing to the word of the Lobd, 



The tribes appoint David king. 1 CHRONICLES, XIII. David brings up the ark. 



24 The children of Judah that 
bare shield and spear were six 
thousand and eight hundred, 
ready u armed to the war. 

25 Of the children of Simeon, 
mighty men of valour for the war, 
seven thousand and one hundred. 

26 Of the children of Levi, four 
thousand and six hundred. 

27 And Jehoiada was the leader 
of the Aaronites, and with him 
were three thousand and seven 
hundred; 

28 And 2 Zadok, a young man 
mighty of valour,and of his father's 
house twenty and two captains. 

29 And of the children of Ben- 
jamin, the 15 kindred of Saul, three 
thousand: for hitherto 16 the great- 
est part of them had kept the ward 
of the house of SauL 

30 And of the children of Ephraim 
twenty thousand and eight hun- 
dred, mighty men of valour, 17 fa- 
mous throughout the house of their 
fathers. 

31 And of the half tribe of Ma- 
nasseh eighteen thousand, which 
were expressed by name, to come 
and make David king. 

32 And of the children of Issachar, 
which were men r that had under- 
standing of the times, to know 
what Israel ought to do; the heads 
of them were two hunched; and 
all their brethren were at their 
commandment. 

33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth 
to battle, 1S expert in war, with all 
instruments of war, fifty thousand, 
which could 19 keep rank: they were 
20 not of double heart. 

34 And of Naphtali a thousand 
captains, and with them with 

| shield and spear thirty and seven 
thousand. 

35 And of the Danites expert in 
war twenty and eight thousand 
and six hundred. 

36 And of Asher, such as went 
j forth to battle, 21 expert in war, 
J forty thousand. 

j 37 And on the other side of Jor- 
j dan, of the Eeubenites, and the 
j Gadites, and of the half tribe of 
I Manasseh, with all manner of in- 
' struments of war for the battle, an 
i hundred and twenty thousand. 

38 AH these men of war, that 
could keep rank, came with a per- 
fect heart to Hebron, to make 
David king over all Israel: and all 
the rest also of Israel were of one 
heart to make David king.

David three days, eating and 
drinking: for their brethren had 
prepared for them. 
40 Moreover they that were nigh 
them, even unto Issachar and Zeb- 
ulun and Naphtali, brought bread 
on asses, and on camels, and on 
mules, and on oxen, and w meat, 
meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of 
raisins, and wine, and oil, and 
oxen, and sheep abundantly; for 
there was joy in Israel. 

CHAPTER XIH. 

1 David fetclies the ark from Kirjatli- 
jearim. 9 Uzza being smitten, the, ark 
is left at tlie house of Obed-edom. 

AND David a consulted with the 
captains of thousands and 
hundreds, and with every leader. 

2 And David said unto all the 
congregation of Israel, If it seem 
good unto you, and thai it be of the 
Lord our God, x let us send abroad 
unto our brethren every where, 
that are b left in all the land of 
Israel, and with them also to the 
priests and Levites which are 2 in 
their cities and suburbs, that they 
may gather themselves unto us: 

3 And let us 3 bring again the ark 
of our God to us: c for we enquired 
not at it in the days of SauL 

4 And all the congregation said 
that they would do so : for the 
thing was right in the eyes of all 
the people. 

5 So d David gathered all Israel 
together, from e Shihor of Egypt 
even unto the entering of Hemath, 
to bring the ark of God /from 
Kirjath-jearim. 

6 And David went up, and all 
Israel, to Baalah, 9 that is, to Kir- 
jath-jearim, which belonged to 
Judah, to bring up thence the ark 
of God the Lord, a that dwelleth 
between the cherubim, whose name 
is called on it. 

7 And they 4 carried the ark of 
God * in a new cart out of the 
house of Abinadab: and Uzza and 
Ahio drave the cart. 

8 And David and all Israel Splay- 
ed before God with all their might, 
and with 5 singing, and with harps, 
and with psalteries, and with tim- 
brels, and with cymbals, and with 
trumpets. 

9 If And when they came unto 
the threshing-floor of k Chidon, 
Uzza put forth his hand to hold 
the ark; for the oxen 6 stumbled. 

10 And the anger of the Lord 
was kindled against Uzza, and he 
smote him, l because he put his

hand to the ark: and there he died 
before m God. 

11 And David was displeased, be- 
cause the Lord had made a breach 
upon Uzza: wherefore that place is 
called 7 Perez-uzza to this day. 

12 And David was afraid of God 
that day, saying, How shall I bring 
the ark of God home to me? 

13 So David 8 brought not the 
ark home to himself to the city of 
David, but carried it aside into the 
house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 

14 And " the ark of God remained 
with the family of Obed-edom in 
his house three months. And the 
Lord blessed ° the house of Obed- 
edom, and all that he had. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

1 Hiram's kindness to David. 2 David's 
felicity: 3 his icives, etc.: 8 his tivovic- 
toi-ies over the Philistines. 

NOW a Hiram king of Tyre sent 
messengers to David, and tim- 
ber of cedars, with masons and 
carpenters, to build him an house. 

2 And David perceived that the 
Lord had confirmed him king 
over Israel; for his kingdom was 
lifted up on high, because of his 
people Israel. 

3 % And David took a more wives 
at Jerusalem: and David begat 
more sons and daughters. 

4 Now b these are the names of 
his children which he had in Jeru- 
salem ; Shammua, and Shobab, 
Nathan, and Solomon, 

5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and 
Elpalet, 

6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and 
Japhia, 

7 And Elishama, and 2 Beeliada, 
and Eliphalet 

8 1f And when the Philistines 
heard that David c was anointed 
king over all Israel, all the Philis- 
tines went up to seek David: and 
David heard of it, and went out 
against them. 

9 And the Philistines came and 
spread themselves in the valley of 
3 Eephaim. 

10 And David enquired of God, 
saying. Shah I go up against the 
Philistines? and wilt thou deliver 
them into mine hand? And the 
Lord said unto him, Go up; for I 
will deliver them into thine 
hand. 

11 So they came up to Baal-pera- 
zim; and David smote them there. 
Then David said, God hath broken 
in upon mine enemies by mine 
hand like the breaking forth of

waters: therefore they called the 
name of that place * Baal-perazim. 

12 And when they had left their 
gods there, David gave a com- 
mandment, and they were burned 
with the. 

13 And d the Philistines yet again 
spread themselves abroad in the 
valley. 

14 Therefore David enquired 
again of God; and God said unto 
him, Go not up after them; turn 
away from them, 6 and come upon 
them over against the mulberry 
trees. 

15 And it shall be, when thou 
shalt hear a sound of going in the 
tops of the mulberry trees, that then 
thou shalt go out to battle: for God 
is gone forth before thee, to smite 
the host of the Philistines. 

16 David therefore did as God 
commanded him: and they smote 
the host of the Philistines /from 
Gibeon even to Gazer. 

17 And 9 the fame of David went 
out into all lands ; and the Lord 
brought h the fear of him upon ah 
nations. 

CHAPTER XV. 

1 David brings the ark from Obed-edom: 
25 he attends the solemnity with great ' 
joy: 29 Michal despises him. 

AND David made him houses in 
the city of David, and pre- 
pared a a place for the ark of God, 
and pitched for it a tent. 

2 Then David said, 1 None ought 
to cany the fc ark of God but the 
Levites: for them hath the Lord 
chosen to cany the ark of God, 
and to minister unto him for 
ever. 

3 And David "gathered all Israel 
together to Jerusalem, to bring up 
the ark of the Lord unto his place 
which he had prepared for it. 

4 And David assembled the chil- 
dren of Aaron, and the Levites: 

5 Of the sons of d Kohath ; Uriel 
the chief, and his 2 brethren an 
hundred and twenty: 

6 Of the sons of Merari ; Asaiah 
the chief, and his brethren two 
hundred and twenty: 

7 OfthesonsofGershom; Joel the 
chief, and his brethren an hundred 
and thirty: 

8 Of the sons of e Elizaphan; She- 
maiah the chief, and his brethren 
two hundred: 

9 Of the sons of /.Hebron; Eliel 
the chief, and his brethren four-

to Jerusalem. 



10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Ammi- 
nadab the chief, and his brethren 
an hundred and twelve. 

11 And David called for Zadok 
and Abiathar the priests, and for 
the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and 
Joel, Shemaiah, and ElieL and 
Amminadab, 

12 And said unto them, Ye are 
the chief of the fathers of the 
Levites: 9 sanctify yourselves, both 
ye and your brethren, that ye may 
bring up the ark of the Lord God 
of Israel unto the place that I have 
prepared for it. 

13 For h because ye did it not at 
the first, the * Lord our God made a 
breach upon us, for that we sought 
him not after the due order. 

14 So the priests and the Levites 
sanctified themselves to bring up 
the ark of the Lord God of Israel. 

1 5 And the children of the Levites 
bare the ark of God upon their 
shoulders with the staves thereon, 
as i Moses commanded according 
to the word of the Lord. 

16 And David spake to the chief 
of the Levites to appoint their 
brethren to be the singers with 
instruments k of music, psalteries 
and harps and cymbals, sounding, 
by lifting up the voice with joy. 

17 So the Levites appointed l * He- 
man the son of Joel; and of his 
brethren, n Asaph the son of Bere- 
chiah; and of the sons of Merari 
their brethren, n Ethan the son of 
Kushaiah; 

18 And with them their brethren 
of the second degree, Zechariah, 
Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemira- 
moth, andJehiel, and Unni, Eliab, 
and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and 
Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and 
Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and 
Jeiel, the porters. 

19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, 
and Ethan, were appointed to sound 
with cymbals of brass; 

20 And Zechariah, and 3 Aziel, 
and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and 
Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, 
and Benaiah, with psalteries on 
4 Alamoth; 

21 And Mattithiah, and Eliphe- 
leh, and Mikneiah, and Obed- 
edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, -with 
harps 5 on the Sheminith to excel. 

22 And Chenaniah, chief of the 
Levites, 6 was for 7 song: he in- 
structed about the song, because 
he was skilful. 

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah 
were door-keepers for the ark.

24 And Shebaniah, and Jehosha-

and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and 
Eliezer, the priests, ° did blow with 
the trumpets before the ark of 
God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah 
were door-keepers for the ark. 

25 % So p David, and the elders 
of Israel, and the captains over 
thousands, went to bring up the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord 
out of the house of Obed-edom 
with q joy. 

26 And it came to pass, when God 
helped the Levites that bare the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
that they r offered seven bullocks 
and seven rams. 

27 And David was clothed with a 
robe of fine linen, and all the Le- 
vites that bare the ark, and the 
singers, and Chenaniah the master 
of the 8 song with the singers: 
David also had upon him an ephod 
of linen. 

28 Thus * all Israel brought up 
the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord with shouting, and with 
sound of the cornet, and with 
trumpets, and with cymbals, 
making a noise with psalteries 
and harps. 

29 And it came to pass, f as the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord 
came to the city of David, that 
Michal the daughter of Saul, look- 
ing out at a window, saw king 
David dancing and playing; and 
she u despised him in her heart.

to the people: 1 his psalm of thanks- 
giving- 
SO a they brought the ark of 
God, and set it in the midst of 
the tent that David had pitched 
for it: and they offered burnt sac- 
rifices and peace offerings before 
God. 

2 And when David had made an 
end of offering the burnt offerings 
and the peace offerings, he blessed 
the people in the name of the 
Lord. 

3 And he dealt to every one of 
Israel, both man and woman, to 
every one a loaf of bread, and a 
good piece of flesh, and a flagon of 
wine. 

4 ^ And he appointed certain of 
the Levites to minister before the 
ark of the Lord, and to h record, 
and to thank and praise the Lord 
God of Israel:

him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemi- 
ramoth, and Jehiel, and Matti- 
thiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, 
and Obed-edom: and Jeiel x with 
psalteries and with harps; but 
Asaph made a sound with cym- 
bals; 

6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the 
priests with trumpets continually 
before the ark of the covenant of 
God. 

7 ^ Then on that day David de- 
livered first c this psalm, to thank 
the Lord, into the hand of Asaph 
and his brethren. 

8 Give d thanks unto the Lord, 
call upon his name, make known 
his deeds among the people. 

9 Sing e unto him, sing psalms 
unto him, talk ye of all his won- 
drous works. 

10 Glory /ye in his holy name: 
let the heart of them rejoice that 
seek the Lord. 

11 Seek 9 the Lord and his 
strength, seek his face continually. 

12 Remember his h marvellous 
works that he hath done, his won- 
ders, and the judgments of his 
mouth; 

13 ye seed of Israel his servant, 
ye children of Jacob, his chosen 
ones. 

14 He is the Lord our God; his 
judgments are in all the earth. 

15 Be ye mindful always of his 
covenant, the word which he com- 
manded to a thousand genera- 
tions; 

16 Even of the * covenant which he 
made with Abraham, and of his 
oath unto Isaac; 

17 And hath confirmed the same 
to Jacob for a law, and to Israel 
for an everlasting covenant, 

18 Saying, Unto thee will I give 
the land of Canaan, 2 the lot of 
your inheritance; 

19 When ye were but 3 few, 3 even 
a few, and strangers in it. 

20 And when they went from 
nation to nation, and from one 
kingdom to another people, 

21 He suffered no man to do 
them wrong; yea, * he reproved 
kings for their sakes, 

22 Saying, l Touch not mine an- 
ointed, and do my prophets no 
harm. 

23 Sing m unto the Lord, all the 
earth; show forth from day to 
day his salvation. 

24 Declare n his glory among the 
heathen; his marvellous works 
among all nations.

26 For all the gods * of the peo- 
ple are idols: but the Lord made 
the heavens.

presence; strength and gladness 
are in his place. 

28 Give unto the Lord, ye kin- 
dreds of the people, give unto the 
Lord glory and strength. 

29 Give unto the Lord the glory 
due unto his name: bring an offer- 
ing, and come before him; wor- 
ship the Lord in the beauty of 
holiness. 

30 Fear before him, all the earth: 
the world also shall be stable, that 
it be not moved. 

31 Let the r heavens be glad, and 
let the earth rejoice; and let men 
say among the nations, The Lord 
reigneth. 

32 Let s the sea roar, and the ful- 
ness thereof: let the fields rejoice, 
and all that is therein. 

33 Then shall the trees of the 
wood sing out at the presence of 
the Lord, because he cometh to 
judge the earth. 

34 O ' give thanks unto the Lord; 
for he is good: for his mercy endu- 
reth for ever. 

35 And M say ye, Save us, O God 
of our salvation, and gather us 
together, and deliver us from the 
heathen, that we may give thanks 
to thy holy name, and glory in thy 
praise. 

36 Blessed v he the Lord God of 
Israel for ever and ever. And w all

the Lord. 

37 % So he left there, before the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
Asaph and his brethren, to minis- 
ter before the ark continually, as 
every day's work required: 

38 And Obed-edom with their 
brethren, threescore and eight;

CHAPTER XVJJ. 

1 David, forbidden to build God an house, 
11 is promised blessings in his seed. 16 
His prayer and thanksgiving. 

NOW a it came to pass, as David 
sat in his house, that David 
said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, 
1 6 dwell in an house of cedars, but 
the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord remaineth under curtains. 

2 Then Nathan said unto David, 
Do all that is in thine heart; for 
God is with thee. 

3 If Ad d it came to pass the 
same night, that the word of God 
came to Nathan, saying, 

4 Go and tell David my servant, 
Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt 
not build me an house to dwell 
in: 

5 For I have not dwelt in an 
house since the day that I brought 
up Israel unto this day; but x have 
gone from c tent to tent, and from 
one tabernacle to another. 

6 Wheresoever I have walked 
with all Israel, spake I a word to 
any of the judges of Israel, whom 

1 commanded to feed my people, 
saying, Why have ye not built me 
an house of cedars? 

7 Now therefore thus shalt thou 
say unto my servant David, Thus 
saith the Lord of hosts, I took 
thee from the sheep-cote, even 

2 from following the sheep, that 
thou shouldest be ruler over my 
people Israel; 

8 And I have been with thee 
whithersoever thou hast walked, 
and have cut off all thine enemies 
from before thee, and have made 
thee a name like the name of the 
great men that are in the earth. 

9 Also I d will ordain a place for 
my people Israel, and will plant 
them, and they shall dwell in their 
place, and shall be moved no more; 
neither shall the children of wick- 
edness waste them e any more, as 
at the beginning,

10 And since the time that I 
commanded judges to be over my 
people Israel. Moreover I will 
subdue all thine enemies. Fur- 
thermore I tell thee that the Lord 
will build thee an house. 

11 And it shall come to pass, 
when thy days be expired that 
thou must go to be with thy 
fathers, that I will raise up thy 
seed after thee, which shall be of 
thy sons; and I will establish his 
kingdom. 

12 He shall build me an house, 
and I will stablish his throne for 
ever. 

13 1 1 will be his father, and he 
shall be my son; and I will not 
take my mercy away from him, as 
I took it from him that was before 
thee: 

14 But 3 1 will settle him in mine 
house and in my kingdom for 
ever; and his throne shall be 
established for evermore. 

15 According to all these words, 
and according to all this vision, so 
did Nathan speak unto David. 

16 % And A David the king came 
and sat before the Lord, and said, 
Who * am I, O Lord God, and 
what is mine house, that thou 
hast brought me hitherto? 

17 And yet this was a small thing 
in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast 
also spoken of thy servant's house 
for a great while to come, and hast 
regarded me according to the 
estate of a man of high degree, O 
Lord God. 

18 What can David speak more to 
thee for the honour of thy servant? 
for J thou knowest thy servant. 

19 Lord, for thy servant's sake, 
and according h to thine own 
heart, hast thou done all this 
greatness, in making known all 
these 3 great things. 



20 O Lord, 



is l none like 



thee, neither is there any God be- 
sides thee, according to all that we 
have heard with our ears. 

21 And what one nation in the 
earth is like thy people Israel, 
whom God went to redeem to be 
his own people, to make thee a 
name of greatness and terribleness, 
by driving out nations from before 
thy people, whom thou hast re- 
deemed out of Egypt? 

22 For thy people Israel didst 
thou make thine own people for 
ever; and thou, Lord, becamest 
their God. 

23 Therefore now, Lord, let the

thing that thou hast spoken con- 
cerning thy servant, and concern- 
ing his house, he established for 
ever, and do as thou hast said. 

24 Let it even be established, 
that m thy name may be magni- 
fied for ever, saying, The Lord of 
hosts is the God of Israel, even a 
God to Israel; and let the house of 
David thy servant be established 
before thee. 

25 For thou, my God, 4 hast 
told thy servant that thou wilt 
build him an house: therefore thy 
servant hath found in his heart to 
pray before thee. 

26 And now, Lord, thou art God, 
and hast n promised this goodness 
unto thy servant: 

27 Now therefore 6 let it please 
thee to bless the house of thy ser- 
vant, that it may be before thee 
for ever: for ° thou blessest, 
Lord, and it shall be blessed for 
ever. 

CHAPTER XVHL 

1 David subdues the Philistines and 
Moabites, 3 and smites Hadarezer and 
the Syrians: 14 his good reign, etc. 

NOW after this a it came to pass, 
that David smote the Philis- 
tines, and subdued them, and took 
Gath and her towns out of the 
hand of the Philistines. 

2 And he b smote Moab; and 
the Moabites became David's ser- 
vants, and brought gifts. 

3 fl And David smote x Hadar- 
ezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, 
as he c went to stablish his domin- 
ion by the river Euphrates. 

4 And David took from him a 
thousand chariots, and d seven 
thousand horsemen, and twenty 
thousand footmen: David also 
houghed all the chariot horses, but 
reserved of them an hundred 
chariots. 

5 And when the Syrians of 

2 Damascus came to help Hadarezer 
king of Zobah, David slew of the 
Syrians two and twenty thousand 
men. 

6 Then David put garrisons^ in 
Syria-damascus ; and the Syrians 
became David's servants, and 
brought gifts. Thus the Lord 
preserved e David whithersoever 
he went. 

7 And David took the shields of 
gold that were on the servants of 
Hadarezer, and brought them to 
Jerusalem.

brought David very much brass, 
wherewith / Solomon made the 
brasen sea, and the pillars, and the 
vessels of brass. 

9 % Now when 9 Tou king of 
Hamath heard how David had 
smitten all the host of Hadarezer 
king of Zobah, 

10 He sent h Hadoram his son to 
king David, 4 to enquire of his 
welfare, and 5 to congratulate him, 
because he had fought against 
Hadarezer, and smitten him ; (for 
Hadarezer 6 had war with Tou;) 
and with him all manner of vessels 
of gold and silver and brass. 

11 Them also king David dedi- 
cated unto the Lord, with the 
silver and the gold that he brought 
from all these nations; from Edom, 
and from Moab, and from the chil- 
dren of Ammon, and from the 
Philistines, and from Amalek. 

12 Moreover 7 Abishai the son of 
Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in 
the valley of Salt eighteen * thou- 
sand. 

13 And-? he put garrisons in Edom; 
and all the Edomites became Da- 
vid's servants. Thus the Lord 
preserved David whithersoever he 
went. 

14 % So David reigned over all 
Israel, and executed judgment and 
justice among all his people. 

15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah 
was over the host; and Jehosha- 
phat the son of Ahilud, 8 recorder; 

16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, 
and 9 Abimelech the son of Abia- 
thar, were the priests; and 10 Shav- 
sha was scribe; 

17 And k Benaiah the son of Je- 
hoiada was over the Cherethites 
and the Pelethites; and the sons 
of David were chief u about the 
king. 

CHAPTER XIX. 

1 David's messenqers, sent to comfort 
Hanun, are disgracefully treated. 6 
Joab and Abishai overcome the Ammon- 
ites. 16 Shophach slain by David. 

NOW" a it came to pass after this, 
that b Nahash the king of the 
children of Ammon died, and his 
son reigned in his stead. 

2 And David said, I will show 
kindness unto Hanun the son of 
Nahash, because his father showed 
kindness to me. And David sent 
messengers to comfort him con- 
cerning his father. So the servants 
of David came into the land of the 
children of Ammon to Hanun, to 
comfort him. 



Joab defeats the Ammonites. 1 CHRONICLES, XX. 



He destroys Rabbah. 



3 But the princes of the children 
ofAmmon said to Hanun, ir Think- 
est thou that David doth honour 
thy father, that he hath sent com- 
forters unto thee? are not his ser- 
vants come unto thee for to search, 
and to overthrow, and to spy out 
the land? 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's 
servants, and shaved them, and 
cut off their garments in the midst 
hard by their buttocks, and sent 
them away. 

5 Then there went certain, and 
told David how the men were 
served: and he sent to meet them: 
for the men were greatly ashamed. 
And the king said, Tarry at Jeri- 
cho c until your beards be grown, 
and then return. 

6 % And when the children of 
Ammon saw that they had made 
themselves 2 odious to David, 
Hanun and the children of Am- 
mon sent a thousand talents of 
silver to hire them chariots and 
horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and 
out of Syria-maachah, d and out of 
Zobah. 

7 So they hired thirty and two 
thousand chariots, and the king of 
Maachah and his people; who 
-came and pitched before ' Medeba. 
And the children of Ammon 
gathered themselves together from 
their cities, and came to battle. 

8 And when David heard of it, 
he sent Joab, and all the host of 
the mighty men. 

9 And the children of Ammon 
came out, and put the battle in 
array before the gate of/ the city: 
and the kings that were come 
were by themselves in the field. 

10 Now when Joab saw that 3 the 
battle was set against him before 
and behind, he chose out of all the 
4 choice of Israel, and put them in 
array against the Syrians. 

11 And the rest of the people he 
delivered unto the hand of 5 Abi- 
shai his brother, and they set 
themselves in array against the chil- 
dren of Ammon. 

12 And he said, If the Syrians be 
too strong for me, then thou shalt 
help me: but if the children of 
Ammon be too strong for thee, 
then I will help thee. 

13 Be of good courage, and let us 
behave ourselves valiantly for our 
people, and for the cities of our 
God: s and let the Loed do that 
which is good in his sight. 

14 So Joab and the people that

the Syrians unto the battle; and 
they h fled before him. 

15 And when the children of 
Ammon saw that the Syrians 
were fled, they likewise fled before 
Abishai his brother, and entered 
into the city. Then Joab came to 
Jerusalem. 

16 H And when the Syrians saw 
that they were put to the worse 
before Israel, they sent messengers, 
and drew forth the Syrians that 
were beyond the 6 river: and*Sho- 
phach the captain of the host of 
Hadarezer went before them. 

17 And it was told David; and 
he gathered all Israel, and passed 
over Jordan, and came upon them, 
and set the battle in array against 
them. So -when David had put 
the battle in array against the 
Syrians, they fought with him. 

18 But the Syrians ■? fled before 
Israel; and David slew of the 
Syrians seven thousand men which 
fought in chariots, and forty thou- 
sand footmen, and killed Sho- 
phach the captain of the host. 

19 And when the servants of 
Hadarezer saw that they were put 
to the worse before Israel, they 
made peace with David, and be- 
came his servants: neither would 
the Syrians help the children of 
Ammon any more.

AND ° it came to pass, that 
1 after the year was expired, at 
the time that kings go out to bat- 
tle, Joab led forth the power of 
the army, and wasted the country 
of the children of Ammon, and 
came and besieged Babbah. But 
David tarried at Jerusalem. And 
Joab 6 smote Babbah, and de- 
stroyed it. 

2 And David c took the crown of 
their king from off his head, and 
found it" 2 to weigh a talent of 
gold, and there icere precious stones 
in it; and it was set upon David's 
head: and he brought also exceed- 
ing much spoil out of the city. 

3 And he brought out the people 
that were in it, and s cut them with 
saws, and with harrows of iron, 
and with axes. Even so dealt 
David with all the cities of the 
children of Ammon. And David

David's charge to Solomon. 1 CHRONICLES, XXIII. 



Number of tlie Levites. 



13 Then ° shalt thou prosper, if 
thou takest heed to fulfil the 
statutes and judgments which the 
Lord charged Moses with concern- 
ing Israel: p he strong, and of good 
courage; dread not, nor be dis- 
mayed. 

14 Now, behold, 2 in my trouble I 
have prepared for the house of 
the Lord an hundred thousand 
talents of gold, and a thousand 
thousand talents of silver; and of 
brass and iron without weight; for 
it is in abundance: timber also 
and stone have I prepared; and 
thou mayest add thereto. 

15 Moreover there are workmen 
with thee in abundance, hewers 
and 3 workers of stone and timber, 
and all manner of cunning men 
for every manner of work. 

16 Of the gold, the silver, and the 
brass, and the iron, there is no 
number. Arise therefore, and be 
doing, and the Lord be with thee. 

1 7 *\\ David also commanded all 
the princes of Israel to help Solo- 
mon his son, saying, 

18 Is not the Lord your God with 
you? and q hath he not given you 
rest on every side? for he hath 
given the inhabitants of the land 
into mine hand; and the land is 
subdued before the Lord, and be- 
fore his people. 

19 Now r set your heart and your 
soul to seek the Lord your God: 
arise therefore, and build ye the 
sanctuary of the Lord God, * to 
bring the ark of the covenant of 
the Lord, and the holy vessels of 
God, into the house that is to be 
built to the name of the Lord.

the Lord with the instruments 
which d I made, said David, to 
praise therewith. 

6 And e David divided them into 
2 courses among the sons of Levi, 
namely, Gershon, Kohath, and 
Merari. 

7 If Of the Gershonites were Laa- 
dan and Shimei. 

8 The sons of Laadan; the chiel 
was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, 
three. 

9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, 
and Haziel, and Haran, three. 
These were the chief of the fathers 
of Laadan. 

10 And the sons of Shimei were 
Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and 
Beriah. These four were the sons 
of Shimei. 

11 And Jahath was the chief, and 
Zizah the second: but Jeush and 
Beriah 3 had not many sons; there- 
fore they were in one reckoning, 
according to their father's house. 

12 f The /sons of Kohath; Am- 
ram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, 
four. 

13 The sons of Amram; Aaron 
and Moses: and 9 Aaron was sepa- 
rated, that he should sanctify the 
most holy things, he and his sons 
for ever, h to bum incense before 
the Lord, * to minister unto him, 
and f to bless in his name for 
ever. 

14 Now concerning Moses the man 
of God, his sons were named of the 
tribe of Levi. 

15 The *sons of Moses were Ger- 
shom and Eliezer. 

16 Of the sons of Gershom, She- 
buel was the chief. 

17 And the sons of Eliezer wen 
Behabiah 4 the chief. And Eliezer 
had none other sons; but the sons 
of Behabiah 5 were very many. 

18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith 
the chief. 

19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah 
the first, Amariah the second, Ja- 
haziel the third, and Jekameam 
the fourth. 

20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah 
the first, and Jesiah the second. 

21 f The sons of Merari; Mahli, 
and Mushi. The sons of Mahli, 
Eleazar and Kish. 

22 And Eleazar died, and had no 
sons, but daughters: and their 
6 brethren the sons of Kish l took 
them. 

23 The m sons of Mushi; Mahli, 
and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. 



Offices of the Levites. 



1 CHRONICLES, XXIV. Divisions of the Aaronites. 



24 f These were the sons of " Levi 
after the house of their fathers; 
even the chief of the fathers, as they 
were counted by number of names 
by their polls, that did the work for 
the service of the house of the 
Lord, from the age of ° twenty 
years and upward. 

25 For David said, The Lord God 
of Israel hath given rest unto his 
people, 7 that they may dwell in 
Jerusalem for ever : 

26 And also unto the Levites: 
they shall no more p carry the taber- 
nacle, nor any vessels of it for the 
service thereof. 

27 For by the last words of David 
the Levites were 8 numbered from 
twenty years old and above: 

28 Because 9 their office was to 
wait on the sons of Aaron, for the 
service of the house of the Loud, 
in the courts, and in the chambers, 
and in the purifying of all holy 
things, and the work of the service 
of the house of God; 

29 Both for q the showbread, and 
for r the fine flour for meat offer- 
ing, and for * the unleavened cakes, 
and for that which is baked in the 
10 pan, and for that which is fried, 
and for all manner of measure and 
size; 

30 And M to stand every morning 
to thank and praise the Lord, and 
likewise at even; 

31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices 
ivnto the Lord v in the sabbaths, in 
the new moons, and on the w set 
feasts, by number, according to the 
order commanded unto them, con- 
tinually before the Lord: 

32 And that they should * keep 
the charge of the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and the charge of the 
holy place, and y the charge of the 
sons of Aaron their brethren, in 
the service of the house of the 
Lord. 

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 Divisions of the sons of Aaron into four 
end twenty orders. 20 The Kohathites 
26 and Merarites divided by lot. 

NOW these are the divisions of 
the sons of Aaron. The sons 
of Aaron ; a Nadab, and Abihu, 
Eleazar, and Ithamar. 

2 But 6 Nadab and Abihu died 
before their father, and had no 
children: therefore Eleazar and 
Ithamar executed the priest's of- 
fice. 

3 And David distributed them,

and Ahimelech of the sons of Itha- 
mar, according to their offices in 
their service. 

4 And there were more chief men 
found of the sons of Eleazar than 
of the sons of Ithamar; and thus 
were they divided. Among the 
sons of Eleazar there were sixteen 
chief men of the house of their 
fathers, and eight among the sons 
of Ithamar, according to the house 
of their fathers. 

5 Thus were they divided c by lot, 
one sort with another; for the 
governors of the sanctuary, and 
governors of the house of God, were 
of the sons of Eleazar, and of the 
sons of Ithamar. 

6 And Shemaiah the son of Ne- 
thaneel d the scribe, one of the 
Levites, wrote them before the 
king, and the princes, and Zadok 
the priest, and Ahimelech the son 
of Abiathar, and before the chief of 
the fathers of the priests and Le- 
vites : one l principal household 
being taken for Eleazar, and one 
taken for Ithamar. 

7 Now the first lot came forth to 
Jehoiarib, the second to e Jedaiah, 

8 The third to / Harim, the fourth 
to Seorim, 

9 The fifth to Malchijab, the sixth 
to Mijamin, 

10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the 
eighth ° to Abijah, 

11 The ninth to Jeshuah.the tenth 
to Shecaniah, 

12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the 
twelfth to Jakim, 

13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the 
fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 

14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the six- 
teenth to Immer, 

15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the 
eighteenth to Aphses, 

16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, 
the twentieth to Jehezekel, 

17 The one and twentieth to 
Jachin, the two and twentieth to 
Gamul, 

18 The three and twentieth to 
Delaiah, the four and twentieth to 
Maaziah. 

19 These were the A orderings of 
them in their service to come into 
the house of the Lord, according 
to * their manner, under Aaron 
their father, as the Lord God of Is- 
rael had commanded him. 

20 ^ And the rest of the sons of

CHAPTER XXV1TL 

1 David exhorts thepeople to fear God: 9 
he encourages Solomon to build the temple. 

AND David assembled all the 
princes of Israel, ° the princes 
of the tribes, b and the captains of 
the companies that ministered to 
the king by course, and the cap- 
tains over the thousands, and cap- 
tains over the hundreds, and c the 
stewards over all the substance 
and j possession of the king, 2 and 
of his sons, with the 3 officers, and 
with d the mighty men, and with 
all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem. 

2 Then David the king stood up 
upon his feet, and said, Hear me, 
my e brethren, and my people: As 
for me, S I had in mine heart to 
build an house of rest for the ark 
of the covenant of the Lord, and 
for 9 the footstool of our God, and 
had made ready for the building: 

3 But God said unto me, h Thou 
shalt not build an house for my 
name, because thou hast been a man 
of war, and hast shed i blood. 

4 Howbeit the Lord God of Israel 
chose * me before all the house of 
my father to be king over Israel for 
ever: for he hath chosen i Judah 
to be the ruler; and of the house 
of Judah the k house of my father; 
and l among the sons of my father 
he liked me to make me king over 
all Israel: 

5 And m of all my sods, (for the 
Lord hath given me many sons,) 
he n - hath chosen Solomon my son 
to sit upon the throne of the king- 
dom of the Lord over Israel. 

6 And he said unto me, ° Solomon 
thy son, he shall build my house 
and my courts: for I have chosen 
him to be my son, and I will be his 
father. 

7 Moreover I will establish his 
kingdom for ever, p if he be 5 con- 
stant to do my commandments 
and my judgments, as at this day. 

8 Now therefore in the sight of 
all Israel the congregation of the 
Lord, and in the audience of our 
God, q keep and seek for all the 
commandments of the Lord your 
God; that ye may possess this good 
land, and leave it for an inherit- 
ance for your children after you 
for ever. 

9 % And thou, Solomon my son, 
know r thou the God of thy father, 
and serve him with a s perfect 
heart, and with a willing mind;

for f the Lord searcketh all hearts, 
and understandeth all the imagi- 
nations of the thoughts: u if thou 
seek him, he will be found of thee; 
hut if thou forsake him, he will 
cast thee off for ever. 

10 Take " heed now; for the Loud 
hath chosen thee to build an house 
for the sanctuary: be strong, and

11 1f Then David gave to Solomon 
his son the w pattern of the x porch, 
and of the houses thereof, and of 
the treasuries thereof, and of the 
upper chambers thereof, and of the 
inner parlours thereof, and of the 
place of the mercyseat, 

12 And the pattern 6 of all that 
he had by the Spirit, of the courts 
of the house of the Lord, and of 
all the chambers round about, of 
the v treasuries of the house of God, 
and of the treasuries of the dedi- 
cated things: 

13 Also for the courses of the 
priests and the Levites, and for all 
the work of the service of the 
house of the Lord, and for all the 
vessels of service in the house of 
the Lord. 

14 He gave of gold by weight for 
things of gold, for all instruments 
of all manner of service; silver also 
for all instruments of silver by 
weight, for all instruments of every 
kind of service: 

15 Even the weight for the can- 
dlesticks of gold, and for their 
lamps of gold, by weight for every 
candlestick, and for the lamps 
thereof; and for the candlesticks of 
silver by weight, both for the can- 
dlestick, and also for the lamps 
thereof, according to the use of 
every candlestick. 

16 And by weight he gave gold for 
the tables of z showbread, for every 
table; and likewise silver for the 
tables of silver: 

17 Also pure gold for the flesh- 
hooks, and the bowls, and the cups: 
and for the golden basins he gave 
goldby weight for every basin; and 
likewise silver by weight for every 
basin of silver: 

18 And for the altar of a incense 
refined gold by weight; and gold 
for the pattern of the chariot of 
the 6 cherubim, that spread out 
their wings, and covered the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord. 

19 All this, said David, \ the Lord 
made me understand in writing 
by his hand upon me, even all the 
works of this pattern.

20 And David said to Solomon 
his son, d Be strong and of good 
courage and do it: fear not, nor be 
dismayed; for the Lord God, even 
my God, will be with thee; e he will 
not fail thee, nor forsake thee, un- 
til thou hast finished all the work 
for the service of the house of the 
Lord. 

21 And, behold, / the courses of 
the priests and the Levites, even 
they shall be with thee for all the ser- 
vice of the house of God: and there 
sliall be with thee for all manner 
of workmanship every willing skil- 
ful man, 9 for any manner of ser- 
vice; also the princes and all the 
people will be wholly at thy com- 
mandment. 

CHAPTER XXIX. 

1 David causes the princes and people to 
offer for the house of God; 10 his thanks- 
giving: 26 his reign and death. 

FURTHERMORE David the 
king said unto all the congre- 
gation, Solomon my son, whom 
alone God hath chosen, is yet young 
and a tender, and the work is great: 
for the palace is not for man, but 
for the Lord God. 

2 Now I have prepared with all 
my might for the house of my God 
the gold for things to be made of gold, 
and the silver for things of silver, 
and the brass for things of brass, 
the iron for things of iron, and wood 
for things of wood; h onyx stones, 
and stones to be set, glistering 
stones, and of divers colours, and 
all manner of precious stones, and 
marble stones in abundance. 

3 Moreover, because I have c set 
my affection to the house of my 
God, I have of mine d own proper 
good, of gold and silver, which I 
have given to the house of my 
God, over and above all that I 
have prepared for the holy house, 

4 Even three thousand talents of 
gold, of the gold of 6 Ophir, and 
seven thousand talents of refined 
silver, to overlay the walls of the 
houses withal: 

5 The gold for things of gold, and 
the silver for things of silver, and 
for all manner of work to be made 
by the hands of artificers. And 
who then is willing * to consecrate 
his service this day unto the Lord? 

6 If Then / the chief of the fathers 
and princes of the tribes of Israel, 
and the captains of thousands and 
of hundreds, with the 9 rulers of 
the king's work, offered willingly, 

7 And gave for the service of the

house of God of gold five thousand 
talents and ten thousand drams, 
and of silver ten thousand talents, 
and of brass eighteen thousand 
talents, and one hundred thousand 
talents of iron. 

8 And they with whom precious 
stones were found gave them to the 
treasure of the house of the Lord, 
by the hand of h Jehiel the Ger- 
shonite. 

9 Then the people rejoiced, for 
that they offered willingly, because 
with perfect heart they * offered 
willingly to the Lord: and David 
the king also rejoiced with great 
joy. 

10 U Wherefore David blessed the 
Lord before all the congregation: 
and David said, i Blessed he thou, 
Lord God of Israel our father, for 
ever and ever. 

11 Thine, k Lord, is the great- 
ness, and the power, and the glory, 
and the victory, and the majesty: 
for all that is in the heaven and in 
the earth is thine; thine is the king- 
dom, Lord, and thou art exalted 
as head above alL 

12 Both l riches and honour come 
of thee, and thou reignest over all; 
and in thine hand is power and 
might; and in thine hand it is to 
make great, and to give strength 
unto all. 

13 Now therefore, our God, we 
thank thee, and praise thy glorious 
name. 

14 But who am I, and what is my 
people, that we should 2 be able to 
offer so willingly after this sort? for 
all things come of thee, and 3 of 
thine own have we given thee. 

15 For m we are strangers before 
thee, and sojourners, as were all our 
fathers: our n days on the earth 
are as a shadow, and there is none 

4 abiding. 

16 Lord our God, all this store 
that we have prepared to build 
thee an house for thine holy name 
cometh of thine hand, and is all 
thine own. 

17 I know also, my God, that 
thou ° triest the heart, and p hast 
pleasure in uprightness. As for 
me, in the uprightness of mine 
heart I have willingly offered all 
these things: and now have I seen 
with joy thy people, which are 

5 present here, to offer willingly 
unto thee.

19 And q give unto Solomon my 
son a perfect heart, to keep thy 
commandments, thy testimonies, 
and thy statutes, and to do all these 
things, and to build the palace, /or 
the which r I have made provision. 

20 If And David said to all the 
congregation, Now bless the Lord 
your God. And all the congrega- 
tion blessed the Lord God of their 
fathers, and bowed down their 
heads, and worshipped the Lord, 
and the king. 

21 And they sacrificed sacrifices 
unto the Lord, and offered burnt 
offerings unto the Lord, on the 
morrow after that day, even a 
thousand bullocks, a thousand 
rams, and a thousand lambs, with 
their drink offerings, and sacrifices 
in abundance for all Israel; 

22 And did eat and drink before 
the Lord on that day with great 
gladness. And they made Solo- 
mon the son of David king the 
second time, and anointed him 
unto the Lord to be the chief gov- 
ernor, and Zadok to be priest. 

23 Then Solomon sat on the 
throne of the Lord as king instead 
of David his father, and prospered; 
and all Israel obeyed him. 

24 And all the princes, and the 
mighty men, and all the sons like- 
wise of king David, 7 submitted 
themselves unto Solomon the king. 

25 And the Lord magnified Solo- 
mon exceedingly in the sight of all 
Israel, and bestowed * upon him 
such royal majesty as had not been 
on any king before him in Israel. 

26 % Thus David the son of Jesse 
reigned over all Israel. 

27 And ' the time that he reigned 
over Israel was forty years; M seven 
years reigned he in Hebron, and 
thirty and three years reigned he 
in Jerusalem. 

28 And he v died in a good old 
age, full of days, riches, and hon- 
our: and Solomon his son reigned 
in his stead. 

29 Now the acts of David the 
king, first and last, behold, they 
are written in the 8 book of Samuel 
the seer, and in the book of Na- 
than the prophet, and in the book 
of Gad the seer, 

30 With all his reign and his 
might, w and the times that went 
over him, and over Israel, and over 
all the kingdoms of the countries.

SECOND BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES. 



CHAPTER L 

1 Solemn offering of Solomon at Gibeon: 
7 his choice of wisdom is blessed by God: 
13 his strength and wealth. 

AND a Solomon the son of David 
was strengthened in his king- 
dom, and b the Lord his God was 
with him, and "magnified him 
exceedingly. 

2 Then Solomon spake unto all 
Israel, to the d captains of thou- 
sands and of hundreds, and to 
the judges, and to every governor 
in all Israel, the chief of the 
fathers. 

3 So Solomon, and all the con- 
gregation with him, went to the 
high place that was at ? Gibeon; 
for there was the tabernacle of the 
congregation of God, which Moses 
the servant of the Lord had made 
in the wilderness. 

4 But f the ark of God had David 
brought up from Kirjath-jearim to 
the place which David had prepared 
for it: for he had pitched a tent for 
it at Jerusalem. 

5 Moreover 9 the brasen altar, 
that h Bezaleel the son of Uri, the 
son of Hur, had made, 1 he put be- 
fore the tabernacle of the Lord; 
and Solomon and the congregation 
sought unto it. 

6 And Solomon went up thither 
to the brasen altar before the 
Lord, which was at the tabernacle 
of the congregation, and offered 
a * thousand burnt offerings upon 
it. 

7 % In •'"that night did God ap- 
pear unto Solomon, and said unto 
him, Ask what I shall give thee. 

8 And Solomon said unto God, 
Thou hast showed great mercy 
unto David my father, and hast 
made me h to reign in his stead. 

9 Now, Lord God, let thy pro- 
mise unto David my father be 
established: l for thou hast made 
me king over a people 2 like the 
dust of the earth in multitude. 

10 Give m me now wisdom and 
knowledge, that I may n go out 
and come in before this people: for 
who can judge this thy people, that 
is so great? 

11 And ° God said to Solomon, 
Because this was in thine heart, 
and thou hast not asked riches, 
wealth, or honour, nor the life of

thine enemies, neither yet hast 
asked long life; but hast asked 
wisdom and knowledge for thyself, 
that thou mayest judge my people, 
over whom I have made thee 
king: 

12 Wisdom and knowledge p is 
granted unto thee; and I will give 
thee riches, and wealth, and hon- 
our, such as 9 none of the kings 
have had that have been before thee, 
neither shall there any after thee 
have the like. 

13 ^[ Then Solomon came from 
his journey to the high place that 
was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from 
before the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation, and reigned over Israel. 

14 And r Solomon gathered 
chariots and horsemen: and he 
had a thousand and four hundred 
chariots, and twelve thousand 
horsemen, which he placed in the 
chariot cities, and with the king 
at Jerusalem. 

15 And *the king 3 made silver 
and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous 
as stones, and cedar trees made he 
as the sycamore trees that are in 
the vale for abundance. 

16 And 4 Solomon had horses 
brought out of Egypt, and linen 
yam : the king's merchants received 
the linen yarn at a price. 

17 And they fetched up, and 
brought forth out of Egypt a 
chariot for six hundred shekels of 
silver, and an horse for an hun- 
dred and fifty: and so brought 
they out horses for all the kings of 
the Hittites, and for the kings of 
Syria, 6 by their means.

1, 17 Solomon's labourers for building the 
temple: 3 his message to Huram for

AND Solomon ° determined to 
build an house for the name 
of the Lord, and an house for his 
kingdom. 

2 And b Solomon told out three- 
score and ten thousand men to 
bear burdens, and fourscore thou- 
sand to hew in the mountain, and 
three thousand and sis hundred to 
oversee them. 

3 ^ And Solomon sent to Huram 
the king of Tyre, saying, c As thou 
didst deal with David my father,

and didst send him cedars to build 
him an house to dwell therein, 
even so deal with me, 

4 Behold, I build an house to 
the name of the Lord my God, to 
dedicate it to him, and d to burn 

| before him x sweet incense, and for 
i the e continual showbread, and for 
I the /burnt offerings morning and 
| evening, on the sabbaths, and on 
I the new moons, and on the solemn 
j feasts of the Lord our God. This 
is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 

5 And the house which I build 
! is great; for 9 great is our God 
; above all gods. 

6 But h who 2 is able to build him 
i an house, seeing the heaven and 

heaven of heavens cannot contain 
; him? who am I then, that I should 
; build him an house, save only to 

burn sacrifice before him? 

7 Send me now therefore a man 
I cunning to work in gold, and in 
! silver, and in brass, and in iron, 
i and in purple, and crimson, and 

1 blue, and that can skill 3 to grave 
; with the cunning men that are 
with me in Judah and in Jerusa- 
lem, * whom David my father did 
provide. 

8 Send-?' me also cedar trees, fir 
trees, and 4 algum trees, out of 

i Lebanon; for I know that thy ser- 
vants can skill to cut timber in 

I Lebanon; and, behold, my servants 
shall be with thy servants, 

9 Even to prepare me timber in 
abundance: for the house which I 
am about to build shall be s wonder- 
ful great. 

10 And, * behold, I will give to 
thy servants, the hewers that cut 

; timber, twenty thousand measures 

! of beaten wheat, and twenty 

thousand measures of barley, and 

twenty thousand baths of wine, 

and twenty thousand baths of oil. 

11 % Then Huram the king of

I he sent to Solomon, l Because the 

I Lord hath loved his people, he 

hath made thee king over them. 

12 Huram said moreover, m Bless-

6 And lie 4 garnished the house 
with precious stones for beauty: 
and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 

I He overlaid also the house, the 
beams, the posts, and the walls 
thereof, and the doors thereof, with 
gold; and graved cherubim on the 
walls. 

8 And he made the 6 most holy 
house, the length whereof was ac- 
cording to the breadth of the 
house, twenty cubits, and the 
breadth thereof twenty cubits: 
and he overlaid it with fine gold, 
amounting to six hundred talents. 

9 And the weight of the nails 
was fifty shekels of gold. And he 
overlaid the upper chambers with 
gold. 

10 And / in the most holy house 
he made two cherubim 6 of image 
work, and overlaid them with gold. 

II And the wings of the cherubim 
were twenty cubits long; one wing 
of the one cherub was live cubits, 
reaching to the wall of the house; 
and the other wing was likewise 
five cubits, reaching to the wing 
of the other cherub. 

12 And one wing of the other 
cherub was five cubits, reaching to 
the wall of the house ; and the 
other wing was live cubits also, 
joining to the wing of the other 
cherub. 

13 The wings of these cherubim 
spread themselves forth twenty 
cubits: and they stood on their 
feet, and their faces were 7 inward. 

14 And he made g the veil of blue, 
and purple, and crimson, and fine 
linen, and 8 wrought cherubim 
thereon. 

15 Also he made before the house 
two h pillars of thirty and five 
cubits 9 high, and the chapiter that 
was on the top of each of them was 
five cubits. 

16 And he made chains, as in the 
oracle, and put them on the heads 
of the pillars; and made an hun- 
dred pomegranates, and put them 
on the chains. 

17 And he reared up the pillars 
before the temple, one on the right 
hand, and the other on the left; 
and called the name of that on the 
right hand 10 Jachin, and the name 
of that on the left n Boaz.

2 % Also b he made a molten sea 
of ten cubits * from brim to brim, 
round in compass, and five cubits 
the height thereof; and a fine of 
thirty cubits did compass it round 
about. 

3 And c under it was the simili- 
tude of oxen, which did compass 
it round about; ten in a cubit, 
compassing the sea round about. 
Two rows of oxen were cast, when 
it was cast. 

4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three 
looking toward the north, and 
three looking toward the west, and 
three looking toward the south, 
and three looking toward the east: 
and the sea was set above upon 
them, and all their hinder parts 
were inward. 

5 And the thickness of it was an 
hand-breadth, and the brim of it 
like the work of the brim of a cup, 
2 with flowers of lilies; and it 
received and held d three thousand 
baths. 

6 ^ He made also e ten lavers, and 
put five on the right hand, and five 
on the left, to wash in them: 3 such 
things as they offered for the burnt 
offering they washed in them; /but 
the sea was for the priests to wash 
in. 

7 And 9 he made ten candlesticks 
of gold according h to their form, 
and set them in the temple, five on 
the right hand, and five on the left. 

8 He * made also ten tables, and 
placed them in the temple, five on 
the right side, and five on the left. 
And he made an hundred 4 basins 
of gold. 

9 % Furthermore i he made the 
court of the priests, and the great 
court, and doors for the court, and 
overlaid the doors of them with 
brass. 

10 And * he set the sea on the 
right side of the east end, over 
against the south. 

11 *fi And 'Huram made the pots, 
and the shovels, and the 5 basins. 
And Huram 6 finished the work 
that he was to make for king 
Solomon for the house of God; 

12 To wit, the two pillars, and 
the m pommels, and the chapiters 
which were on the top of the two 
pillars, and the two wreaths to 
cover the two pommels of the 
chapiters which were on the top of 
the pillars;

13 And n four hundred pome-

wreath, to cover the two pommels 
of the chapiters which were 7 upon 
the pillars. 

14 He made also ° bases, and 
8 la vers made he upon the bases; 

15 One sea, and twelve oxen un- 
der it. 

16 The pots also, and the shovels, 
and the flesh-hooks, and all their 
instruments, did Huram ^his father 
make to king Solomon, for the 
house of the Lord, of 9 bright brass. 

17 In q the plain of Jordan did 
the king cast them, in the 10 clay 
ground between Succoth and Zere- 
dathah. 

18 Thus r Solomon made all these 
vessels in great abundance: for the 
weight of the brass could not be 
found out. 

19 % And * Solomon made all the 
vessels that were for the house of 
God, the golden altar also, and the 
tables ' whereon the showbread 
was set; 

20 Moreover the candlesticks with 
their lamps, that they should burn 
after "the manner before the oracle, 
of pure gold; 

21 And " the flowers, and the 
lamps, and the tongs, made he of 
gold, and that u perfect gold; 

22 And the snuffers, and the 
12 basins, and the spoons, and the 
censers, of pure gold: and the entry 
of the house, the inner doors there- 
of for the most holy place, and the 
doors of the house of the temple, 
were of 13 gold.

4 And all the elders of Israel 
came ; and the / Levites took up 
the ark. 

5 And they brought up the ark, 
and the tabernacle of the congre- 
gation, and all the holy vessels 
that were in the tabernacle; these 
did the priests and the Levites 
bring up. 

6 Also king Solomon, and all the i 
congregation of Israel that were 
assembled unto him before the 
ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, 
which could not be told nor num- 
bered for multitude. 

7 And the priests brought in the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord 
unto his place, to the oracle of the 
house, into the most holy place, 
even under the wings of the cheru- 
bim: 

8 For the cherubim spread forth 
their wings over the place of the 
ark, and the cherubim covered 
the ark and the staves thereof 
above. 

9 And they drew out the staves 
of the ark, that the ends of the 
staves were seen from the ark be- 
fore the oracle, but they were not 
seen without And x there it is 
unto this day. 

10 There was nothing in the ark 
save the two tables which Moses 
put 9 therein at Horeb, 2 when the 
Lord made a covenant with the 
children of Israel, when they came 
out of Egypt. 

11 % And it came to pass, when 
the priests were come out of the 
holy place; (for all the priests that 
were ^present were sanctified, and 
did not then wait by course: 

12 Also A the Levites which were 
the singers, all of them of Asaph, 
of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their 
sons and their brethren, being ar- 
rayed in white linen, having cym- 
bals, and psalteries, and harps, 
stood at the east end of the altar, 
and * with them an hundred and 
twenty priests sounding with trum- 
pets;) 

13 It came even to pass, as the 
trumpeters and singers were as one. 
to make one sound to be heard in 
praising and thanking the Lord, 
and when they lifted up their voice 
with the trumpets, and cymbals, 
and instruments of music, and 
praised the Lord, saying, ? For he is 
good; for his mercy endureth for 
ever: that then the house was filled 
with a cloud, even the house of the 
Lord;

CHAPTER VL 

I Solomon blesses the people and praises 
God: 14 his prayer at the consecration 
of the temple. 

rpHEN a said Solomon, The Lord 
-L hath said that he would dwell 
in the 6 thick darkness. 

2 But I have built an house of 
habitation for thee, and a place for 
thy dwelling for ever. 

3 And the king turned his face, 
and blessed the whole congregation 
of Israel: and all the congregation 
of Israel stood. 

4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord 
God of Israel, who hath with his 
hands fulfilled that which he spake 
with his mouth to my father David, 
saying, 

5 Since the day that I brought 
forth my people out of the land of 
Egypt, I chose no city among all 
the tribes of Israel to build an 
house in, that my name might be 
there; neither chose I any man 
to be a ruler over my people 
Israel: 

6 But c I have chosen Jerusalem, 
that my name might be there; and 
have d chosen David to be over my 
people Israel. 

7 Now 6 it was in the heart of 
David my father to build an house 
for the name of the Lord God of 
Israel: 

8 But the Lord said to David my 
father, Forasmuch as it was in 
thine heart to build an house for 
my name, thou didst / well in that 
it was in thine heart: 

9 Notwithstanding thou shalt 
not build the house; but thy son, 
which shall come forth out of thy 
loins, he shall build the house for 
my name. 

10 The Lord therefore hath per- 
formed his word that he hath 
spoken; for 1 am risen up in the 
room of David my father, and am 
set on the throne of Israel, as the 
Lord promised, and have built the 
house for the name of the Lord 
God of Israel: 

II And in it have I put the ark, 
wherein 9 is the covenant of the 
Lord, that he made with the 
children of Israel. 

12 % And * he stood before the 
altar of the Lord in the presence 
of all the congregation of Israel, 
and * spread forth his hands, ath of him .

cubits high, and had set it in the 
midst of the court; and upon it he 
stood, and kneeled down upon his 
knees before all the congregation

hands toward heaven,) 

14 And said, O Lord God of 
Israel, * there is no God like thee in

showest mercy unto thy servants 
that 'walk before thee with all 
their hearts:

thy servant David my father that 
which thou hast promised him; 
and spakest with thy mouth, and 
hast fulfilled it with thine hand, 
as it is this day. 

16 Now therefore, O Lord God of 
Israel, keep with thy servant 
David my father that which thou 
hast promised him, saying, 2 There 
shall not fail thee a man in my 
sight to sit upon the throne of 
Israel; "yet so that thy children 
take heed to their way to walk in 
my law, as thou hast walked before 
me. 

17 Now then, O Lord God of 
Israel, let thy word be verified, 
which thou hast spoken unto thy 
servant David. 

18 But ° will God in very deed 
dwell with men on the earth ? 
Behold, p heaven and the heaven 
of heavens cannot contain thee; 
how much less this house which I 
have built! 

19 Have respect therefore to the 
prayer of thy servant, and to his 
supplication, O Lord my God, to 
hearken unto the cry and the 
prayer which thy servant prayeth 
before thee: 

20 That thine q eyes may be open 
upon this house day and night, 
upon the place whereof thou hast 
said that thou wouldest put thy 
name there; to hearken unto the 
prayer which thy servant r prayeth 
3 toward this place. 

21 Hearken therefore unto the 
supplications of thy servant, and 
of thy people Israel, which they 
shall 4 make toward this place : 
hear thou from thy dwelling place, 
even from heaven; and when thou 
hearest, s forgive.

eous, by giving him according to 
his righteousness.

thee, and shall return and confess

NOW a when Solomon had made

and the glory of the Lord upon 
the house, they bowed themselves 
with their faces to the ground upon 
the pavement, and worshipped, 
and praised the Lord, 6 saying, For 
he is good; for /his mercy enduretk 
for ever. 

4 f Then * the king and all the 
people offered sacrifices before the 
Lord. 

5 And king Solomon offered a 
sacrifice of twenty and two thou- 
sand oxen, and an hundred and 
twenty thousand sheep. So the 
king and all the people dedicated 
the house of God. 

6 And A the priests waited on 
their offices; the Levites also with 
instruments of music of the Lord, 
which David the king had made 
to praise the Lord, because his 
mercy enduretk for ever, when Da- 
vid praised 1 by their ministry; and 
the * priests sounded trumpets be- 
fore them, and all Israel stood. 

7 Moreover $ Solomon hallowed 
the middle of the court that was 
before the house of the Lord : for 
there he offered burnt offerings, 
and the fat of the peace offerings, 
because the brasen altar which 
Solomon had made was not able 
to receive the burnt offerings, and 
the meat offerings, and the fat. 

8 If Also * at the same time Solo- 
mon kept the feast seven days, and 
all Israel with him, a very great 
congregation, from the entering in 
of Hamath unto l the river of 
Egypt. 

9 And in the eighth day they 
made 2 a solemn assembly; for they 
kept the dedication of the altar 
seven days, and the feast seven 
days.

10 And m on the three and twen- 
tieth day of the seventh month he 
sent the people away into their 
tents, glad and merry in heart for 
the goodness that the Lord had 
showed unto David, and to Solo- 
mon, and to Israel his people. 

11 Thus n Solomon finished the 
house of the Lord, and the king's 
house: and all that came into 
Solomon's heart to make in the 
house of the Lord, and in his own 
house, he prosperously effected. 

12 f And the Lord ° appeared to 
Solomon by night, and said unto 
him, I have heard thy prayer, p and 
have chosen this place to myself 
for an house of sacrifice. 

13 If 2 1 shut up heaven that there 
be no rain, or if I command the 
locusts to devour the land, or if I 
send pestilence among my people* 

14 If my people, 3 which are called 
by my name, shall r humble them- 
selves, and pray, and seek my face, 
and turn from their wicked ways; 
then s will I hear from heaven, and 
will forgive their sin, and will heal 
their land. 

15 Now ' mine eyes shall be open, 
and mine ears attent 4 unto the 
prayer that is made in this place. 

16 For now have u I chosen and 
sanctified this house, that my name 
may be there for ever; and mine 
eyes and mine heart shall be there 
perpetually. 

17 And v as for thee, if thou wilt 
walk before me, as David thy father 
walked, and do according to all 
that I have commanded thee, and 
shalt observe my statutes and my 
judgments; 

18 Then will I stablish the throne 
of thy kingdom, according as I 
have covenanted with David thy 
father, saying, 6 There shall not 
fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 

19 But w if ye turn away, and 
forsake my statutes and my com- 
mandments, which I have set be- 
fore you, and shall go and serve 
other gods, and worship them; 

20 Then will I x pluck them up 
by the roots out of my land which 
I have given them; and this 
house, which I have sanctified for 
my name, will I cast out of my 
sight, and will make it to be a pro- 
verb and a by-word among ail 
nations. 

21 And y this house, which is 
high, shall be an astonishment to 
every one that passeth by it; so 
that he shall say, * Why hath the 



Solomon's officers.

CHAPTER VHL 

1 Solomon's buildings. 7 TJie Canaanites 
made tributaries. 12 Solomon's festival 
sacrifices. 

AND °it came to pass at the end 
of twenty years, wherein Solo- 
mon had built the house of the 
Lord, and his own house, 

2 That the cities which Huram 
had restored to Solomon, Solomon 
built them, and caused the children 
of Israel to dwell there. 

3 And Solomon went to 6 Hamath- 
zobah, and prevailed against it. 

4 And c he built Tadmor in the 
wilderness, and all the store cities, 
which he built in Hamath. 

5 Also he built Beth-horon the 
upper, and Beth-horon the nether, 
fenced cities, with walls, gates, and 
bars; 

6 And d Baalath, and all the store 
cities that Solomon had, and all 
the chariot cities, and the cities of 
the horsemen, and x all that Solo- 
mon desired to build in Jerusalem, 
and in Lebanon, and throughout 
all the land of his dominion. 

7 f As e for all the people that 
were left of the t Hittites, and the 
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and 
the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 
which were not of Israel, 

8 But of their children, who were 
left after them in the land, whom 
the children of Israel consumed 
not, them did Solomon make to 
pay tribute until this day. 

9 But 9 of the children of Israel 
did Solomon make no servants for 
his work; but they were men of 
war, and chief of his captains, and 
captains of his chariots and horse- 
men. 

10 And these were the chief of king 
Solomon's officers, even h two hun- 
dred and fifty, that bare rule over 
the people. 

11 % And Solomon * brought up 
the daughter of Pharaoh out of the 
city of David unto the house that 
he had built for her: for he said, 
My wife shall not dwell in the 
house of David king of Israel, be- 
cause the places are 2 holy, where-

unto the ark of the Lord hath 
come. 

12 f Then Solomon offered burnt 
offerings unto the Lord on the 
altar of the Lord, which he had 
built before the porch, 

13 Even after a certain 3 rate 
every day, offering according to 
the commandment of Moses, on 
the sabbaths, and on the new 
moons, and on the solemn feasts, 
three h times in the year, even in 
the feast of unleavened bread, and 
in the feast of weeks, and in the 
feast of tabernacles. 

14 And he appointed, according 
to the order of David his father, 
the l courses of the priests to their 
service, and m the Levites to their 
charges, to praise and minister 
before the priests, as the duty of 
every day required; the n porters 
also by their courses at eveiy gate: 
for 3 so had David the man of God 
commanded. 

15 And they departed not from 
the commandment of the king 
unto the priests and Levites con- 
cerning any matter, or concerning 
the treasures. 

16 Now all the work of Solomon 
was prepared unto the day of the 
foundation of the house of the 
Lord, and until it was finished. 
So the house of the Lord was per. 
fected. 

17 % Then went Solomon ° to 
Ezion-geber, and to p Eloth, at the 
sea-side in the land of Edom. 

18 And 2 Huram sent him, by the 
hands of his servants, ships, and 
servants that had knowledge of 
the sea; and they went with the 
servants of Solomon to r Ophir, and 
took thence four hundred and fifty 
talents of gold, and brought them 
to king Solomon. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 The queen of Sheba visits Solomon; she 

admires his wisdom and magnificence. 

13 Mis riches. 29 His reign and death. 

AND a when the queen of Sheba 
heard of the fame of Solomon, 
she came to prove h Solomon with 
hard questions at Jerusalem j with 
a very great company, and camels 
that bare spices, and gold in abun- 
dance, and precious stones: and 
when she was come to Solomon, 
she communed with him of all 
that was in her heart. 
2 And Solomon told her all her 
1 questions: and there was nothing 
hid from Solomon which he told 
her not. 



The queen ofSkeba visits Solomon. 2 CHBONICLES. Solomon's wisdom and greatness. 



3 And when the queen of Sheba 
had seen the -wisdom of Solomon, 
and the house that he had built, 

4 And the meat of his table, and 
the sitting of his servants, and the 
attendance of his ministers, and 
their apparel; his 2 cupbearers also, 
and their apparel; and his ascent 
by which he went up into the 
house of the Lokd; there was no 
more spirit in her. 

5 And she said to the king, It was 
a true 3 report which I heard in 
mine own land of thine 4 acts, and 
of thy wisdom: 

6 Howbeit I believed not their 
words, until I came, and mine eyes 
had seen it: and, behold, the one 
half of the greatness of thy wisdom 
was not told me: for thou 5 exceed- 
est the fame that I heard. 

7 Happy are thy men, and happy 
are these thy servants, which stand 
continually before thee, and hear 
thy wisdom. 

8 Blessed c be the Lord thy God, 
which delighted in thee, to set 
thee on his throne, to be king for 
the Lord thy God: because thy 
God loved Israel, to establish them 
for ever, therefore made he thee 
king over them, to do judgment 
and justice. 

9 And she gave the king an hun- 
dred and twenty talents of gold, 
and of spices great abundance, and 
precious stones: neither was there 
any such spice as the queen of 
Sheba gave king Solomon. 

10 And the servants also of Hu- 
ram, and the servants of Solomon, 
which d brought gold from Ophir, 
brought e algum trees and pre- 
cious stones. 

11 And the king made of the 
algum trees 6 terraces to the house 
of the Lord, and to the king's 
palace, and harps and psalteries 
for singers: and there were none 
such seen before in the land of 
Judah. 

12 And king Solomon gave to 
the queen of Sheba all her desire, 
whatsoever she asked, besides that 
which she had brought unto the 
king. So she turned, and went 
away to her own land, she and 
her servants. 

13 1f Now the weight of gold that 
came to Solomon in one year was 
six hundred and threescore and 
six talents of gold; 

14 Besides that which chapmen 
and merchants brought. And

7 governors of the country, brought

15 If And king Solomon made 
two hundred targets of beaten 
gold: six hundred shekels of beaten 
gold went to one target. 

16 And three hundred shields 
made he of beaten gold; three hun- 
dred shekels of gold went to one 
shield: and the king put them in 
the house of the forest of Leba- 
non. 

17 % Moreover the king made a 
great throne of ivory, and overlaid 
it with pure gold. 

18 And there were six steps to the 
throne, with a footstool of gold, 
which were fastened to the throne, 
and 8 stays on each side of the sit- 
ting place, and two lions standing 
by the stays: 

19 And twelve lions 6tood there 
on the one side and on the other 
upon the six steps: there was not 
the like made in any kingdom. 

20 If And all the drinking vessels 
of king Solomon were of gold, and 
all the vessels of the house of the 
forest of Lebanon were of 9 pure 
gold: 10 none were of silver; it was 
not any thing accounted of in the 
days of Solomon. 

21 For the king's ships went 9 to 
Tarshish with the servants of Hu- 
ram: every three years once came 
the ships of Tarshish, bringing 
gold, and silver, u ivory, and apes, 
and peacocks. 

22 And king Solomon h passed 
all the kings of the earth in riches 
and wisdom. 

23 % And all the kings of the 
earth sought the presence of Solo- 
mon, to hear his wisdom, that 
God had put in his heart. 

24 And *they brought every man 
his present, vessels of silver, and 
vessels of gold, and raiment, har- 
ness, and spices, horses, and mules, 
a rate year by year. 

25 flf And Solomon i had four 
thousand stalls for horses and 
chariots, and twelve thousand 
horsemen; whom he bestowed in 
the chariot cities, and with the 
king at Jerusalem. 

26 1f And * he reigned over all 
the kings from l the 12 river even 
unto the land of the Philistines, 
and to the border of Egypt 

27 And m the king 13 made silver 
in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar 
trees made he as the sycamore 
trees that are in the low plains in 
abundance. 



Rehoboam' s foolishness punished 2 CHKONICLES, X, XI. by the revolt of the ten tribes. 



28 And n they brought unto Solo- 
mon horses out of Egypt, and out 
of all lands. 

29 f Now • the rest of the acts of 
Solomon, first and last, are they 
not written in the u book of Na- 
than the prophet, and in the pro- 
phecy of p Ahijah the Shilonite, 
and in the visions of 5 Iddo the 
seer against Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat? 

30 And r Solomon reigned in Jer- 
usalem over all Israel forty years. 

31 And Solomon slept with his 
fathers, and he was buried in the 
city of David his father: and 
15 Eehoboam his son reigned in 
his stead. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Rehoboam, refuting the old men's good 

counsel, 16 ten tribes revolt, and he flees. 

AND ° Eehoboam went to She- 
chem: for to Shechem were all 
Israel come to make him king. 

2 And it came to pass, when 
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who 
was in Egypt, 6 whither he had 
fled from the presence of Solomon 
the king, heard it, that Jeroboam 
returned out of Egypt. 

3 And they sent and called him. 
So Jeroboam and all Israel came 
and spake to Kehoboam, saying, 

4 Thy father made our c yoke 
grievous: now therefore ease thou 
somewhat the grievous servitude 
of thy father, and his heavy yoke 
that he put upon us, and we will 
serve thee. 

5 And he said unto them, Come 
again unto me after three days. 
And the people departed. 

6 ^ And king Eehoboam took 
counsel with the a old men that 
had stood before Solomon his fa- 
ther while he yet lived, saying, 
What counsel give ye me to return 
answer to this people? 

7 And they spake unto him, 
saying, If thou be x kind to this 
people, and please them, * and 
speak good words to them, they 
will be thy servants for ever. 

8 But he / forsook the counsel 
which the old men gave him, and 
took counsel with the young men 
that were brought up with him, 
that stood before him. 

9 And he said unto them, What 
advice give ye that we may return 
answer to this people, which have 
spoken to me, saying, Ease some- 
what the yoke that thy father did 
put upon us?

him, saying, Thus shalt thou an-

thee, saying, Thy father made our 
yoke heavy, but make thou it some- 
what fighter for us; thus shalt thou 
say unto them, My little finger shall 
be thicker than my father's loins. 

11 For whereas my father 2 put a 
heavy yoke upon you, I will put 
more to your yoke: my father 
chastised you with whips, but I 
will chastise you with scorpions. 

12 ^ So Jeroboam and all the 
people came to Eehoboam on the 
third day, as the king bade, saying, 
Come again to me on the third 
day. 

13 And the king answered 9 them 
roughly: and king Eehoboam 
forsook the counsel of the old 
men, 

14 And answered them after the 
advice of the young men, saying, 
My father made your yoke heavy, 
but I will add thereto: my father 
chastised you with whips, but I 
will chastise you with scorpions. 

15 So the king hearkened not 
unto the people : for the 3 cause 
was of God, that the Lord might 
perform his word, which he spake 
by the h hand of Ahijah the Shilo- 
nite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 

16 And when all Israel saw that 
the king would not hearken unto 
them, the people answered the 
king, saying, What portion have 
we in David? and we have none in- 
heritance in the son of Jesse: every 
man to your tents, O Israel: and 
now, David, see to thine own 
house. So all Israel went to their 
tents. 

17 But as for the children of Is- 
rael that dwelt in the cities of 
Judah, Eehoboam reigned over 
them. 

18 Then king Eehoboam sent Ha- 
doram that was over the tribute; 
and the children of Israel stoned 
him with stones, that he died: but 
king Eehoboam 4 made speed to 
get him up to his chariot, to flee to 
Jerusalem. 

19 And * Israel rebelled against 
the house of Dayid unto this day.

put shields and spears, and made 
them exceeding strong, having Ju- 
dah and Benjamin on his side. 

13 And the priests and the Levites 
that were in all Israel l resorted to 
him out of all their coasts. 

14 For the Levites left /their sub- 
urbs, and their possession, and came 
to Judah and Jerusalem: for ^Jero- 
boam and his sons had cast them 
off from executing the priest's office 
unto the Lord: 

15 And h he ordained him priests 
for the high places, and for * the 
devils, and i for the calves which 
he had. made.

tribes of Israel such as set their 
hearts to seek the Lord God of 
Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacri- 
fice unto the Lord God of their 
fathers.

three years: for m three years they

CHAPTEE XH. 



1 Relidboam, forsaking God, is punished by 
Shishak: 13 his reign and death. 

AND a it came to pass, when Ee- 
hoboam had established the 
kingdom, and had strengthened 
himself, b he forsook the law of the 
Lord, and all Israel with him. 

2 And c it came to pass, that, in 
the fifth year of king Eehoboam, 
Shishak king of Egypt came up 
against Jerusalem, because they 
had transgressed against the Lord, 

3 With twelve hundred chariots, 
and threescore thousand horsemen: 
and the people were without num- 
ber that came with him out of 
Egypt; d the Lubims, the Sukkiims, 
and the Ethiopians. 

4 And he took the fenced cities 
which pertained to Judah, and came 
to Jerusalem. 

5 Then came e Shemaiah the pro- 
phet to Eehoboam, and to the 
princes of Judah, that were gather- 
ed together to Jerusalem because 
of Shishak, and said unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord, /Ye have 
forsaken me, and therefore have I 
also left you in the hand of Shishak. 

6 Whereupon the princes of Israel 
and the king 9 humbled them- 
selves; and they said, n The Lord 
is righteous. 

7 And when the Lord saw that 



Eehoboam' s reign over Judah. 2 CHRONICLES, XIIL Ahijah succeeds Eehoboam. 



they humbled themselves, the word 
of * the Lord came to Shemaiah, 
saying, They have humbled them- 
selves; therefore I will not destroy 
them, but I will grant them 1 some 
deliverance; and my wrath shall 
not be poured out upon Jerusalem 
by the hand of Shishak. 

8 Nevertheless i they shall be his 
servants; that they may know lc my 
service, and the service of the king- 
doms of the countries. 

9 So ' Shishak king of Egypt came 
up against Jerusalem, and took 
away the treasures of the house of 
the Lord, and the treasures of the 
king's house; he took all: he car- 
ried away also the shields of gold 
which Solomon had m made. 

10 Instead of which king Eeho- 
boam made shields of brass, and 
committed them n to the hands of 
the chief of the guard, that kept 
the entrance of the king's house. 

m 11 And when the king entered 
into the house of the Lord, the 
guard came and fetched them, and 
brought them again into the guard- 
chamber. 

12 And when he humbled him- 
self, the wrath of the Lord turned 
from him, that he would not de- 
stroy him altogether: 2 and also in 
Judah things went well 

13 f So kingEehoboam strength- 
ened himself in Jerusalem, and 
reigned: for ° Eehoboam was one 
and forty years old when he began 
to reign, and he reigned seventeen 
years in Jerusalem, p the city which 
the Lord had chosen out of all the 
tribes of Israel, to put his name 
there. And his mother's name 
was Naamah an Ammonitess. 

14 And he did evil, because he 
3 prepared not his heart to seek the 
Lord. 

15 Now the acts of Eehoboam, 
first and last, are they not written 
in the 4 book of Shemaiah the pro- 
phet, 2 and of Iddo the seer con- 
cerning genealogies? r And there 
were wars between Eehoboam and 
Jeroboam continually. 

16 And Eehoboam slept with his 
fathers, and was buried in the city 
of David: and Abijah his son 
reigned in his stead.

was 6 Michaiahthe daughter of Uriel 
of Gibeah. And there was war be- 
tween Abijah and Jeroboam. 

3 And Abijah x set the battle in 
array with an army of valiant men 
of war, even four hundred thousand 
chosen men: Jeroboam also set the 
battle in array against him with 
eight hundred thousand chosen 
men, being mighty men of valour. 

4= 1f And Abijah stood up upon 
mount Zemaraim, c which is in 
mount Ephraim, and said, Hear 
me, thou Jeroboam,and all Israel; 

5 Ought ye not to know that the 
Lord God of Israel d gave the king- 
dom over Israel to David for ever, 
even to him and to his sons by a 
2 covenant of salt? 

6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 
the servant of Solomon the son of 
David, is risen up, and hath e re- 
belled against his lord. 

7 And there are gathered unto 
him / vain men, the children of 
Belial, and have strengthened 
themselves against Eehoboam the 
son of Solomon, when Eehoboam 
was young and tender-hearted, and 
could not withstand them. 

8 And now ye think to withstand 
the kingdom of the Lord in the 
hand of the sons of David; and ye 
be a great multitude, and there are 
with you golden calves, which 
Jeroboam 9 made you for gods. 

9 Have h ye not cast out the priests 
of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and 
the Levites, and have made you 
priests after the manner of the 
nations of other lands ? l so that 
whosoever cometh 3 to consecrate 
himself with a young bullock and 
seven rams, the same may be a priest 
of them that are no gods. 

10 But as for us, the Lord is our 
God, and we have not forsaken 
him; and the priests, which minis- 
ter unto the Lord, are the sons of 
Aaron, and the Levites wait upon 
their business: 

11 And i they burn unto the 
Lord every morning and every 
evening burnt sacrifices and sweet 
incense: the * showbread also set 
they in order upon the pure table; 
and the candlestick of gold with 
the lamps thereof, l to burn every 
evening: for we keep the charge of 
the Lord our God; but ye have 
forsaken him.

priests with sounding trumpets to

13 % But Jerohoam caused an 
ambushment to come about be- 
hind them: so they were before 
Judah, and the ambushment was 
behind them. 

14 And when Judah looked back, 
behold, the battle was before and 
behind: and they cried unto the 
Lord, and the priests sounded with 
the trumpets. 

1 5 Then the men of Judah gave 
a shout: and as the men of Judah 
shouted, it came to pass, that God 
smote * Jeroboam and all Israel 
before Abijah and Judah. 

16 And the children of Israel fled 
before Judah: and God delivered 
them into then- hand. 

17 And Abijah and his people 
slew them with a great slaughter: 
so there fell down slain of Israel 
five hundred thousand chosen men. 

18 Thus the children of Israel were 
* brought under at that time, and 
the children of Judah prevailed, 
because q they relied upon the Lord 
God of their fathers. 

19 And Abijah pursued after Jer- 
oboam, and took cities from him; 
Beth-el with the towns thereof, and 
Jeshanah with the towns thereof, 
and r Ephrain with the towns 
thereof. 

20 Neither did Jeroboam recover 
strength again in the days of Abi- 
jah: and the Lord struck s him, 
and { he died. 

21 % But Abijah waxed mighty, 
and married fourteen wives, and 
begat twenty and two sons, and 
sixteen daughters. 

22 And the rest of the acts of 
Abijah, and his ways, and his say- 
ings, are written in the ° story of 
the prophet M Iddo.

4 And commanded Judah to seek 
the Lord God of their fathers, and 
to do the law and the command- 
ment. 

5 Also he took away out of all the 
cities of Judah the high places and 
the 2 images: and the kingdom was 
quiet before him. 

6 ^f And he built fenced cities in 
Judah: for the land had rest, and 
he had no war in those years; be- 
cause the Lord had given him 
rest. 

7 Therefore he said unto Judah, 
Let us build these cities, and make 
about them walls and towers, gates 
and bars, while the land is yet be- 
fore us; because we have sought 
the Lord our God, we have sought 
him, and he hath given us rest 
on every side. So they built and 
prospered. 

8 And Asa had an army of men 
that bare targets and spears, out of 
Judah three hundred thousand; 
and out of Benjamin, that bare 
shields and drew bows, two hun- 
dred and fourscore thousand: all 
these were mighty men of valour. 

9 If And e there came out against 
them Zerah the Ethiopian with an 
host of a thousand thousand, and 
three hundred chariots; and came 
unto^Mareshah. 

10 Then Asa went out against 
him, and they set the battle in 
array in the valley of Zephathah 
at Mareshah. 

11 And Asa 9 cried unto the Lord 
his God, and said, Lord, it is h no- 
thing with thee to help, whether 
with many, or with them that have 
no power: help us, O Lord out 
God; for we rest on thee, and * in 
thy name we go against this mul- 
titude. O Lord, thou art our God; 
let not 3 man prevail against thee. 

] 2 So the Lord i smote the Ethi- 
opians before Asa, and before 
Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 

13 And Asa and the people that 
were with him pursued them * unto 
Gerar: and the Ethiopians were 
overthrown, that they could not 
recover themselves; for they were 
4 destroyed before the Lord, and 
before his host; and they carried 
away very much spoil. 

14 And they smote all the cities 
round about Gerar; for l the fear 
of the Lord came upon them: 
and they spoiled all the cities; for 
there was exceeding much spoil in 
them. 

15 They smote also the tents of 



Judah's covenant with God. 2 CHRONICLES, XY. Asa leagues with Benhadad.

and camels in abundance, and 
returned to Jerusalem. 

CHAPTER XY. 

1 Judah makes a solemn covenant with 
God: 16 Asa removes his mother from 
being queen. 

AND a the Spirit of God came 
upon Azariah the son of Oded: 

2 And he went out to l meet Asa, 
and said unto him, Hear ye me, 
Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; 
The 6 Lord is with you, while ye 
he with him; and c if ye seek him, 
he will he found of you; but d if 
ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 

3 Now e for a long season Israel 
hath been without the true God, 
and without /a teaching priest, 
and without law. 

4 But 9 when they in their 
trouble did turn unto the Lord 
God of Israel, and sought him, he 
was found of them. 

5 And ft in those times there was 
no peace to him that went out, 
nor to him that came in, but great 
vexations were upon all the inhab- 
itants of the countries. 

6 And * nation was 2 destroyed of 
nation, and city of city: for God 
did vex them with all adversity. 

7 Be ye strong therefore, and let 
not your hands be weak: for your 
work shall be •>' rewarded. 

8 If And when Asa heard these 
words, and the prophecy of Oded 
the prophet, he took courage, and 
put away the 3 abominable idols 
out of all the land of Judah and 
Benjamin, and out of the k cities 
which he had taken from mount 
Ephraim, and renewed the altar of 
the Lord that was before the porch 
of the Lord. 

9 And he gathered all Judah and 
Benjamin, and l the strangers with 
them out of Ephraim and Manas- 
seh, and out of Simeon: for they 
fell to him out of Israel in abun- 
dance, when they saw that the 
Lord his God was with him. 

10 So they gathered themselves 
together at Jerusalem in the third 
month, in the fifteenth year of the 
reign of Asa. 

11 And m they offered unto the 
Lord 4 the same time, of the spoil 
which they had brought, seven 
hundred oxen and seven thousand 
sheep. 

12 And they n entered into a 
covenant to seek the Lord God of 
their fathers with all their heart, 
and with all their soul;

1 Asa. by a league with the /Syrians, di-

13 his death and burial. 

IN the l six and thirtieth year oi 
the reign of Asa, ° Baasha king 
of Israel came up against Judah, 
and built Bamah, h to the intent 
that he might let none go out or 
come in to Asa king of Judah. 

2 Then Asa brought out silver 
and gold out of the treasures of 
the house of the Lord and of the 
king's house, and sent to Ben- 
hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at 

2 Damascus, saying, 

3 There is a league between rne 
and thee, as there was between my 
father and thy father: behold, I 
have sent thee silver and gold; go, 
break thy league with Baasha 
king of Israel, that he may depart 
from me. 

4 And Ben-hadad hearkened 
unto king Asa, and sent the cap- 
tains of 3 his armies against the 
cities of Israel; and they smote 
Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, 
and all the store cities of Naphtali. 

5 And it came to pass, when 
Baasha heard it, that he left off

building of Ramah, and let his 
work cease. 

6 Then Asa the king took all 
Judah; and they carried away the 
stones of Ramah, and the timber 
thereof, wherewith Baasha was a- 
building; and he built therewith 
Geba and Mizpah. 

7 % And at that time c Hanani 
the seer came to Asa king of 
Judah, and said unto him, d Be- 
cause thou hast relied on the king 
of Syria, and not relied on the 
Lord thy God, therefore is the host 
of the king of Syria escaped out of 
thine hand. 

8 Were not e the Ethiopians t and 
the Lubims * a huge host, with 
very many chariots and horsemen? 
yet, because thou didst rely on the 
Lord, he delivered them into 
thine hand. 

9 For 9 the eyes of the Lord run 
to and fro throughout the whole 
earth, 5 to show himself strong in 
the behalf of them whose heart is 
perfect toward him. Herein thou 
hast A done foolishly : therefore 
from henceforth * thou shalt have 
wars. 

10 Then Asa was wroth with the 
seer, and put o him in a prison 
house; for he was in a rage with 
him because of this thing. And 
Asa 6 oppressed some of the people 
the same time. 

11 *b And, behold, the acts of Asa, 
first and last, lo, they are written 
in the book of the kings of Judah 
and Israel. 

12 And Asa in the thirty and 
ninth year of his reign was k dis- 
eased in his feet, until his disease 
was exceeding great: yet in his 

i disease he l sought not to the 
| Lord, hut to the physicians. 
j 13 And Asa slept with his fathers, 
and died in the one and fortieth 
year of his reign. 
14 And they buried him in his 
own sepulchres, which he had 
7 made for himself in the city of 
David, and laid him in the bed 
which was tilled m with sweet 
odours and divers kinds of spices 
prepared by the apothecaries' art; 
and they made a very great 
burning for him.

2 And he a placed forces in all 
the fenced cities of Judah, and set 
garrisons in the land of Judah, 
and in the cities of Ephraim, 
which 6 Asa his father had taken. 

3 And the Lord was c with Je- 
hoshaphat, because he walked in 
the first ways x of his father David, 
and sought not unto Baalim; 

4 But sought to the LORD God 
of his father, and d walked in his 
commandments, and not e after 
the doings of Israel. 

5 Therefore the Lord stablished 
the kingdom in his hand; and all 
Judah 2 brought to Jehoshaphat 
presents; f and he had riches and 
honour in abundance. 

6 And his heart 3 was lifted up in 
the ways of the Lord: 9 moreover 
he took away the high places and 
groves out of Judah. 

7 % Also in the third year of his 
reign he sent to his princes, even to 
Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to 
Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and 
to Michaiah, h to teach in the cities 
of Judah. 

8 And with them he sent Levites, 
even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, 
and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and 
Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, 
and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and 
Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with 
them Elishama and Jehoram, 
priests. 

9 And * they taught in Judah, 
and had the book of the law of the 
Lord with them, and went about 
throughout all the cities of Judah, 
and taught the people. 

10' \ And i the fear of the Lord 
4 fell upon all the kingdoms of the 
lands that were round about Judah, 
so that they made no war against 
Jehoshaphat. 

11 Also some of the Philistines 
brought k Jehoshaphat presents, 
and tribute silver; and the Ara- 
bians brought him flocks, seven 
thousand and seven hundred 
rams, and seven thousand and 
seven hundred he-goats. 

12 ^[ And Jehoshaphat waxed 
great exceedingly; and he built in 
Judah 5 castles, and cities of store. 

13 And he had much business in 
the cities of Judah: and the men 
of war, mighty men of valour, were 
in Jerusalem. 

14 And these are the numbers of 
them according to the house of 
their fathers: of Judah, the cap- 
tains of thousands; Adnah the 
chief, and with him mighty men

15 And 6 next to him was Jeho-

16 And next him was Amasiah 
the son of Zichri, l who willingly 
offered himself unto the Lord; and 
with him two hundred thousand 
mighty men of valour.

mighty man of valour, and with

18 And next him was Jehozabad,

for the war. 

19 These waited on the king, 
besides those whom the king put 
in the fenced cities throughout all 
Judah.

me, but always evil: the same is 
Micaiah 'the son of Imla. And 
Jehoshaphat said, Let not the 
king say so. 

8 And the king of Israel called 
for one of his 3 officers, and said, 
4 Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of 
Imla. 

9 And the king of Israel and Je- 
hoshaphat king of Judah sat either 
of them on his throne, clothed in 
their robes, and they sat in a 5 void 
place at the entering in of the gate 
of Samaria; and all the prophets 
prophesied before them. 

10 And Zedekiah the son of Che- 
naanah had made him horns of 
iron, and said, Thus saith the 
Lord, With these thou shalt push 
Syria until 6 they be consumed. 

11 And all the prophets prophe- 
sied so, saying, Go up to Eamoth- 
gilead, and prosper; for the Lord 
shall deliver it into the hand of 
the king. 

12 And the messenger that went 
to call Micaiah spake to him, 
saying, Behold, the words of the 
prophets declare good to the king 
7 with one assent: let thy word 
therefore, I pray thee, be like one 
of theirs, and speak thou good. 

13 And Micaiah said, As the 
Lord liveth, f even what my God 
saith, that will I speak. 

14 And when he was come to 
the king, the king said unto him, 
Micaiah, shall we go to Eamoth- 
gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? 
And he said, 9 Go ye up, and pros- 
per, and they shall be delivered 
into your hand. 

15 And the king said to him, 
How many times shall I adjure 
thee that thou say nothing but 
the truth to me in the name of the 
Lord? 

16 Then he said, I did see all Is- 
rael scattered upon the mountains, 
as sheep that have no shepherd: 
and the Lord said, These have 
no master; let them return there- 
fore every man to his house in 
peace. 

17 And the king of Israel said to 
Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee 
that he would not prophesy good 
unto me, 8 but evil? 

18 Again he said, Therefore hear 
the word of the Lord; I h saw the 
Lord sitting upon his throne, and 
all the host of heaven standing on 
his right hand and on his left. 

19 And the Lord said. Who shall 
entice Ahab king of Israel, that

he may go up and fall at Ramoth- 
gilead ? And one spake saying 
after this manner, and another 
saying after that manner. 

20 Then there came out a * spirit, 
and stood before the Lord, and 
said, I will entice him. And the 
Lord said unto him, Wherewith? 

21 And he said, I will go out, and 
be J a lying spirit in the mouth of 
all his prophets. And the LORD 
said, Thou shalt entice him, and 
thou shalt also prevail: go out, and 
do even so. 

22 Now therefore, behold, k the 
Lord hath put a lying spirit in the 
mouth of these thy prophets, and 
the Lord hath spoken evil against 
thee. 

23 f Then Zedekiah the son of 
Ohenaanah came near, and l smote 
Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, 
Which way went the Spirit of the 
Lord from me to speak unto thee? 

24 And Micaiah said, Behold, 
thou shalt see on that day when 
thou shalt go 9 into 10 an inner 
chamber to hide thyself. 

25 Then the king of Israel said, 
Take ye Micaiah, and carry him 
back to Amon the governor of the 
city, and to Joash the king's son; 

26 And say, Thus saith the king, 
Put m this fellow in the prison, and 
feed him with bread of affliction 
and with water of affliction, until 
I return in peace. 

27 And Micaiah said, If thou 
certainly return in peace, then hath 
not the Lord spoken by me. And 
he said, Hearken, all ye people. 

28 So the king of Israel and Je- 
hoshaphat the king of Judah went 
up to Eamoth-gilead. 

29 And the king of Israel said 
unto Jehoshaphat/* I will disguise 
myself, and will go to the battle; 
but put thou on thy robes. So the 
king of Israel disguised himself; 
and they went to the battle. 

30 Now the king of Syria had 
commanded the captains of the 
chariots that were with him, say- 
ing, Fight ye not with small or 
great, save only with the king of 
Israel. 

31 And it came to pass, when 
the captains of the chariots saw 
Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is 
the king of Israel. Therefore they 
compassed ° about him to fight: 
but Jehoshaphat cried out, and 
the Lord helped him; and God 
moved p them to depart from him. 

32 For it came to pass, that,

when the captains of the chariots

CHAPTER XIX. 

1 Jehoshaphat visits his kingdom; 5 his 
instructions to the judges, 8 to the priests 
and Levites. 

AND Jehoshaphat the king of 
Judah returned to his house 
in peace to Jerusalem. 

2 And Jehu the son of ° Hanani 
the seer went out to meet him, 
and said to king Jehoshaphat, 
Shouldest thou help the ungodly, 
and * love them that hate the 
Lord ? therefore is c wrath upon 
thee from before the Lord. 

3 Nevertheless there are d good 
things found in thee, in that thou 
hast taken away the groves out of 
the land, and hast prepared e thine 
heart to seek God. 

4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at 
Jerusalem: and l he went out again 
through the people, from Beer- 
sheba to mount Ephraim, and 
brought them back unto the Lord 
God of their fathers. 

5 And he /set judges in the land, 
throughout all the fenced cities of 
Judah, city by city, 

6 And said to the judges, Take 
heed what ye do: for 3 ye judge not 
for man, but for the Lord, a who 
is with you 2 in the judgment. 

7 Wherefore now let the fear of 
the Lord be upon you; take heed, 
and do it: for * there is no iniquity 
with the Lord our God, nor i re- 
spect of persons, nor taking of gifts. 

8 Moreover in Jerusalem did 
Jehoshaphat set k of the Levites, 
and of the priests, and of the chief 
of the fathers of Israel, for the 
judgment of the Lord, and for 
controversies, when they returned 
to Jerusalem. 

9 And he charged them, saying, 
Thus shall ye do l in the fear of 
the Lord, laithfully, and with a 
perfect heart.

CHAPTER XX. 

I Jehoshaphat, invaded by the Moabiles, 
proclaims a fast: 5 his prayer: 22 the 
overthrow of his enemies: 31 his reign. 

IT came to pass after this also, 
that the children of Moab, and 
the children of Ammon, and with 
them other besides the Ammon- 
ites, came against Jehoshaphat to 
battle. 

2 Then there came some that 
told Jehoshaphat, saying, There 
cometh a great multitude against 
thee from beyond the sea on this 
side Syria; and, behold, they be 
in " Hazazon-tamar, which is b En- 
gedi. 

3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and 
set 1 himself to seek the Lord, and 
proclaimed c a fast throughout all 
Judah. 

4 And d Judah gathered them- 
selves together to ask help of the 
Lord: even out of all the cities of 
Judah they came to seek the 
Lord. 

5 ^ And Jehoshaphat stood in 
the congregation of Judah and 
Jerusalem, in the house of the 
Lord, before the new court, 

6 And said, Lord God of our 
fathers, art not thou e God in 
heaven? and / rulest not thou over 
all the kingdoms of the heathen? 
and g in thine hand is there not 
power and might, so that none is 
able to withstand thee?

9 If, i when evil cometh upon us, 
as the sword, judgment, or pesti- 
lence, or famine, we stand before 
this house, and in thy presence, 
(for thy name is in this house,) 
and cry unto thee in our affliction, 
then thou wilt hear and help. 

10 And now, behold, the children 
of Ammon and Moab and mount 
Seir, whom thou wouldest k not 
let Israel invade, when they came 
out of the land of Egypt, l but 
they turned from them, and de- 
stroyed them not; 

11 Behold, / say, how they reward 
us, to m come to cast us out of thy 
possession, which thou hast given 
us to inherit. 

12 O our God, wilt thou not 
judge n them? for ° we have no 
might against this great company 
that cometh against us; neither 
know we what to do : but p our 
eyes are upon thee. 

13 And all Judah stood before 
the Lord, with their little ones, 
their wives, and their children. 

14 Then upon Jahaziel the son of 
Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the 
son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, 
a Levite of the sons of Asaph, 
came s the Spirit of the Lord in 
the midst of the congregation; 

15 And he said, Hearken ye, all 
Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, 
Thus saith the Lord unto you, 
Be r not afraid nor dismayed by 
reason of tins great multitude; for 
the battle is not yours, but God's. 

16 To-morrow go ye down against 
them: behold, they come up by 
the 3 cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find 
them at the end of the i brook, 
before the wilderness of JerueL 

17 Ye s shall not need to fight in 
this battle: set yourselves, stand ye 
still, and see the salvation of the 
Lord with you, O Judah and 
Jerusalem : fear not, nor be dis- 
mayed ; to-morrow go out against 
them: for ' the Lord will be with 
you. 

18 And Jehoshaphat u bowed his 
head with his face to the ground: 
and all Judah and the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, 
worshipping the Lord. 

19 And the Levites, of the chil- 
dren of the Kohathites, and of the 
children of the Korhites, stood up 
to praise the Lord God of Israel 
with a loud voice on high. 

20 % And they rose early in the 
morning, and went forth into the

wilderness of Tekoa: and as they 
went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and. 
said, Hear me, Judah, and ye 
inhabitants of Jerusalem; "Believe 
in the Lord your God, so shall ye 
be established; believe his prophets, 
so shall ye prosper. 

21 Arid when he had consulted 
with the people, he appointed 
singers unto the Lord, w and 5 that 
should praise the beauty of holi- 
ness, as they went out before the 
army, and to say, x Praise the 
Lord; for y his mercy endureih for 
ever. 

22 ^ 6 And when they began 7 to 
sing and to praise, z the Lord set 
ambushments against the children 
of Ammon, Moab, and mount 
Seir, which were come against 
Judah; and 8 they were smitten. 

23 For the children of Ammon 
and Moab stood up against the 
inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly 
to slay and destroy them: and 
when they had made an end of 
the inhabitants of Seir, every one 
helped 9 to destroy another. 

24 And when Judah came toward 
the watch tower in the wilderness, 
they looked unto the multitude, 
and, a behold, they were dead 
bodies fallen to the earth, and 
10 none escaped. 

25 And when Jehoshaphat and 
his people came to take away the 
spoil of them, they found among 
them in abundance both riches 
with the dead bodies, and 1X pre- 
cious jewels, (which they stripped 
off for themselves,) more than they 
could carry away: and they were 
three days in gathering of the 
spoil, it was so much. 

26 And on the fourth day they 
assembled themselves in the valley 
of ^Berachah; for there they 
blessed the Lord: therefore the 
name of the same place was called, 
The valley of Berachah, unto this 
day. 

27 Then they returned, every 
man of Judah and Jerusalem, and. 
Jehoshaphat in the 13 fore front of 
them, to go again to Jerusalem 
with joy; for the Lord had b made 
them to rejoice over their ene- 
mies. 

28 And they came to Jerusalem 
with psalteries and harps and 
trumpets unto the house of the 
Lord. 

29 And c the fear of God was on 
all the kingdoms of those countries, 
when they had heard that the

Lord fought against the enemies 
of Israel. 

30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat 
was quiet; for his d God gave him 
rest round about. 

31 % And e Jehoshaphat reigned 
over Judah. He was thirty and 
five years old when he began to 
reign; and he reigned twenty and 
five years in Jerusalem. And his 
mother's name was Azubah the 
daughter of Shilhi. 

32 And he walked in the way of 
Asa his father, and departed not 
from it, doing that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord. 

33 Howbeit the high places were 
not taken away; for as yet the 
people had not /prepared their 
hearts unto the God of their fa- 
thers. 

34 Now the rest of the acts of 
Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, 
they are written in the K book of 
Jehu the son of Hanani, 9 who 15 is 
mentioned in the book of the kings 
of Israel. 

35 \ And after this did Jehosha- 
phat king of Judah join himself 
with Ahaziah king of Israel, who 
did very wickedly: 

36 And 16 he joined himself with 
him to make ships to go to Tar- 
shish: and they made the ships in 
Ezion-gaber. 

37 Then Eliezer the son of Do- 
davah of Mareshah prophesied 
against Jehoshaphat, saying, Be- 
cause thou hast joined thyself with 
Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken 
thy works. And the ships were 
broken, that they were not able j 
to go to h Tarshish. 

CHAPTER XXL 

1 Jehoram succeeds Jehoshaphat: 5 Ms 
wicked reign: 8 Edom and Libnah re- 
volt: 18 his incurable disease. 

NOW Jehoshaphat slept with 
his fathers, and was buried 
with his fathers in the city of 
David: and Jehoram his son 
reigned in his stead. 1 

2 And he had brethren the sons 
of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Je- 
hiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, 
and Michael, and Shephatiah: all 
these were the sons of Jehoshaphat 
king of Israel. 

3 And their father gave them 
great gifts of silver, and of gold, 
and of precious things, with fenced 
cities in Judah: but the kingdom 
gave he to 2 Jehoram, because he 
was the first-born. 

4 Now when Jehoram was risen 



Edom revolts from Judah. 



2 CHRONICLES, XXII. AhaziaKs wicked reign. 



up to the kingdom of his father, 
he strengthened himself, and a slew 
all his brethren with the sword, 
and divers also of the princes of 
Israel. 

5 1[ Jehoram 6 was thirty and two 
years old when he began to reign, 
and he reigned eight years in 
Jerusalem. 

6 And he walked in the way of 
the kings of Israel like as did the 
house of Ahab: for he had the 
daughter of c Ahab to wife: and he 
wrought that which was evil in the 
eyes of the Lord. 

7 Howbeit the Lord would not 
destroy the house of David, be- 
cause of the covenant that he had 
made with David, and as he pro- 
mised to give a 3 light to him and 
to his d sons for ever. 

8 ^ In 6 his days the Edomites 
revolted from under the 4 dominion 
of Judah, and made themselves a 
king. 

9 Then Jehoram went forth with 
his princes, and all his chariots 
with him: and he rose up by night, 
and smote the Edomites which 
compassed him in, and the cap- 
tains of the chariots. 

10 So the /Edomites revolted 
from under the hand of Judah 
unto this day. The same time 
also did Libnah revolt from under 
his hand; because he had forsaken 
the Lord God of his fathers. 

11 Moreover ne made high places 
in the mountains of Judah, and 
caused the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
lem to 9 commit fornication, and 
compelled Judah thereto. 

12 f And there came a 5 writing 
to him from Elijah the prophet, 
saying, Thus saith the Lord God 
of David thy father, Because thou 
hast not walked in the ways of 
Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the 
ways of Asa king of Judah, 

13 But hast walked in the way of 
the kings of Israel, and hast made 
Judah and the inhabitants of Jer- 
usalem to h go a whoring, like to 
the ** whoredoms of the house of 
Ahab, and also hast slain thy 
brethren of thy father's house, 
which were better than thyself: 

14 Behold, with 6 a great plague 
will the Lord smite thy people, 
and thy children, and thy wives, 
and all thy goods: 

15 And thou shalt have great sick- 
ness by disease of thy bowels, until 
thy bowels fall out by reason of 
the sickness day by day.

16 % Moreover the Lord i stirred 
up against Jehoram the spirit of 
the Philistines, and of the Ara- 
bians, that were near the Ethiopi- 
ans: 

17 And they came up into Judah, 
and brake into it, and 7 carried 
away all the substance that was 
found in the king's house, * and 
his sons also, and his wives; so 
that there was never a son left 
him, save 8 Jehoahaz, the youngest 
of his sons. 

18 And after all this the Lord 
smote him in his bowels with an 
incurable disease. 

19 And it came to pass, that in 
process of time, after the end of 
two years, his bowels fell out by 
reason of his sickness: so he died 
of sore diseases. And his people 
made no burning for him, like the 
burning of his fathers. 

20 Thirty and two years old was 
he when he began to reign, and 
he reigned in Jerusalem eight 
years, and departed 9 without being 
desired: howbeit they buried him 
in the city of David, but not in 
the sepulchres of the kings. 

CHAPTEK XXII. 

1 Ahaziah, succeeding, reigns wickedly: 5 
he is slain by Jehu. 10 Athaliah, de- 
stroying all the seed royal save Joash, 
usurps the kingdom. 

AND the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
lem made a Ahaziah his 
youngest son king in his stead: for 
the band of men that came with 
the Arabians to the camp had 
slain all the b eldest. So Ahaziah 
the son of Jehoram king of Judah 
reigned. 

2 Forty c and two years old was 
Ahaziah when he began to reign, 
and he reigned one year in Jeru- 
salem. His mother's name also 
was <* Athaliah the daughter of 
Omri. 

3 He also walked in the ways of 
the house of Ahab: for his mother 
was his counsellor to do wickedly. 

4 "Wherefore he did evil in the 
sight of the Lord like the house of 
Ahab: for they were his counsel- 
lors, after the death of his father, 
to e his destruction. 

5 He walked also after their 
counsel, and went / with Jehoram 
the son of Ahab king of Israel to 
war against Hazael king of Syria 
at Kamoth-gilead: and the Syrians 
smote Joram. 

6 And 9 he returned to be healed

2 CHRONICLES, XXIII. Jehciada makes Joash king. 



in Jezreel because of the wounds 
1 which were given him at Eamah, 
when he fought with Hazael king 
of Syria. And 2 Azariah the son 
of Jehoram king of Judah went 
down to see Jehoram the son of 
Ahab at Jezreel, because he was 
sick. 

7 And the 3 destruction of Ahaz- 
iah 7 * was of God, by coming to 
Joram: for when he was come, * he 
went out with Jehoram against 
Jehu the son of Nimshi, ?' whom 
the Lord had anointed to cut off 
the house of Ahab. 

8 And it came to pass, that, when 
Jehu was k executing judgment 
upon the house of Ahab, and found 
the princes of Judah, and the sons 
of the brethren of Ahaziah, that 
ministered to Ahaziah, he slew 
them. 

9 And l he sought Ahaziah: and 
they caught him, (for he was hid 
in Samaria,) and brought him to 
Jehu: and when they had slain 
him, they buried him : Because, 
said they, he is the son of Jehosha- 
phat, who sought the Lord with 
all his heart. So the house of 
Ahaziah had no power to keep 
still the kingdom. 

10 ^ But when Athaliah the 
mother of Ahaziah saw that her 
son was dead, she arose and de- 
stroyed all the seed royal of the 
house of Judah. 

11 But * Jehoshabeath, the daugh- 
ter of the king, took Joash the son 
of Ahaziah, and stole him from 
among the king's sons that were 
slain, and put him and his nurse 
in a bed-chamber. So Jehosha- 
beath, the daughter of king Je- 
horam, the wife of Jehoiada the 
priest, (for she was the sister of 
Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, 
«o that she slew him not. 

12 And he was with them hid in 
the house of God six years: and 
Athaliah reigned over the land.

2 And they 6 went about in Ju- 
dah, and gathered the Levites out 
of all the cities of Judah, and the 
chief of the fathers of Israel, and 
they came to Jerusalem. 

3 And all the congregation made 
a covenant with the king in the 
house of God. And he said unto 
them, Behold, the king's son shall 
reign, as the Lord hath c said of 
the sons of David. 

4 This is the thing that ye shall 
do; A third part of you d entering 
on the sabbath, of the priests and 
of the Levites, shall be porters of 
the * doors; 

5 And a third part shall be at the 
king's house; and a third part at 
the gate e of the foundation : and all 
the people shaU be in the courts of 
the house of the Lord. 

6 But let none come into the 
house of the Lord, save the priests, 
and / they that minister of the 
Levites; they shall go in, for they 
are 2 holy: but all the people shail 
keep the watch of the Lord. 

7 And the Levites shall compass 
the king round about, every man 
with his weapons in his hand; and 
whosoever else cometh into the 
house, he shall be put to death: 
but be ye with the king when he 
cometh in, and when he goeth out. 

8 So the Levites and all Judah 
did according to all things that 
Jehoiada the priest had com- 
manded, and took every man his 
men that were to come in on the 
sabbath, with them that were to 
go out on the sabbath: for Jeho- 
iada the priest dismissed not the 
9 courses. 

9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest 
delivered to the captains of hun- 
dreds spears, and bucklers, and 
shields, that had been king David's, 
which were in the house of God. 

10 And he set all the people, every 
man having his weapon in his 
hand, from the right 3 side of the 
4 temple to the left side of the tem- 
ple, along by the altar and the 
temple, by the king round about. 

11 Then they brought out the 
king's son, and put upon him the 
crown, and A gave him the testi- 
mony, and made him king: and 
Jehoiada and his sons anointed 
him, and said, 6 God save the king. 

12 ^1 Now when Athaliah heard 
the noise of the people running 
and praising the king, she came to 
the people into the house of the 
Lord: 



Athaliah slain. 



2 CHRONICLES, XXIV. 



Joash repairs the temple. 



13 And she looked, and, behold, 
the king stood at his pillar at the 
entering in, and the princes and 
the trumpets by the king: and all 
the people of the land rejoiced, and 
sounded with trumpets, also the 
singers with instruments of music, 
and *such as taught to sing praise. 
Then Athaliah rent her clothes, 
and said, 6 Treason, Treason! 

14 Then Jehoiada the priest 
brought out the captains of hun- 
dreds that were set over the host, 
and said unto them, Have her forth 
of the ranges: and whoso followeth 
her, let him be slain with the 
sword. For the priest said, i Slay 
her not in the house of the Lord. 

15 So they laid hands on her: and 
when she was come to the entering 
of * the horse gate by the king's 
house, they l slew her there. 

16 If And Jehoiada made m a 
covenant between him, and be- 
tween all the people, and between 
the king, that they should be the 
Lord's people. 

17 Then all the people went n to 
the house of Baal and brake it 
down, and brake his altars and 
his images in pieces, and ° slew 
Mattan the priest of Baal before 
the altars. 

18 Also Jehoiada appointed the 
offices of the house of the Lord by 
the hand of the priests the Levites, 
whom David had p distributed in 
the house of the Lord, to offer the 
burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is 
written in the q law of Moses, with 
rejoicing and with singing, as it 
was ordained 7 by David. 

19 And he set the r porters at the 
gates of the house of the Lord, that 
none which was unclean in any 
thing should enter in. 

20 And s he took the captains of 
hundreds, and the nobles, and the 
governors of the people, and all 
the people of the land, and brought 
down the king from the house of 
the Lord: and they came through 
the high gate into the king's house, 
and set the king upon the throne 
of the kingdom. 

21 And * all the people of the 
land rejoiced: and the city was 
quiet, after that they had slain 
Athaliah with the sword.

reigned forty years in Jerusalem. 
His mother's name also was Zibiah 
of Beer-sheba. 

2 And Joash 6 did that which was 
right in the sight of the Lord all 
the days of Jehoiada the priest. 

3 And Jehoiada took for him two 
wives; and he begat sons and 
daughters. 

4 *\ And it came to pass after this, 
that Joash was minded l to repair 
the house of the Lord. 

5 And he gathered together the 
priests and the Levites, and said to 
them, Go out unto the cities of 
Judah, and c gather of all Israel 
money to repair the house of your 
God from year to year, and see 
that ye hasten the matter. How- 
beit the Levites hastened it not. 

6 And d the king called for Jeho- 
iada the chief, and said unto him, 
Why hast thou not required of the 
Levites to bring in, out of Judah 
and out of Jerusalem, the collec- 
tion, according to the commandment 
of e Moses the servant of the Lord, 
and of the congregation of Israel 
for the / tabernacle of witness? 

7 For 9 the sons of Athaliah, that 
wicked woman, had broken up 
the house of God; and also all the 
dedicated h things of the house of 
the Lord did they bestow upon 
Baalim. 

8 And at the king's command- 
ment * they made a chest, and Bet 
it without at the gate of the house 
of the Lord. 

9 And they made 2 a proclama- 
tion through Judah and Jerusa- 
lem, to bring in to the Lord the 
collection that Moses the servant of 
God laid upon Israel in the wil- 
derness. 

10 And all the princes and all the 
people rejoiced, and brought in, 
and cast into the chest, until they 
had made an end. 

11 Now it came to pass, that at 
what time the chest was brought 
unto the king's office by the hand 
of the Levites, and when i they saw 
that there was much money, the 
lung's scribe and the high priest's 
officer came and emptied the chest, 
and took it, and earned it to his 
place again. Thus they did day 
by day, and gathered money in 
abundance. 

12 And the king and Jehoiada 
gave it to such as did the work of 
the service of the house of the 
Lord, and hired masons and car- 
penters to repair the house of the 



Joash falls to idolatry.

Lord, and also such as wrought 
iron and brass to mend the house 
of the Lord. 

13 So the workmen wrought, and 
the 3 work was perfected by them, 
and they set the house of God in 
his state, and strengthened it. 

14 And when they had finished 
it, they brought the rest of the 
money before the king and Jeho- 
iada, * whereof were made vessels 
for the house of the Lord, even ves- 
sels to minister, and 4 to offer 
withal, and spoons, and vessels of 
gold and silver: and they l offered 
burnt offerings in the house of the 
Lord continually all the days of 
Jehoiada. 

15 % But Jehoiada waxed old, and 
was m full of days when he died; 
an hundred and thirty years old 
was he when he died. 

16 And they buried him in " the 
city of David among the kings, be- 
cause he had done good in Israel, 
both toward God, and toward his 
house. 

17 Now after ° the death of Jeho- 
iada came the princes of Judah, 
and made obeisance to the king: 
then the king hearkened unto them. 

18 And they left the house of the 
Lord God of their fathers, and 
served p groves and idols: and 
wrath ff came upon Judah and 
Jerusalem for this their trespass. 

19 Yet he r sent prophets to them, 
to bring them again unto the Lord; 
and they testified against them: 
but they would not give ear. 

20 And 6 the Spirit of God 6 came 
upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada 
the priest, which stood above the 
people, and said unto them, Thus 
saith God, ' Why transgress ye the 
commandments of the Lord, that 
ye cannot prosper? M because ye 
have forsaken the Lord, he hath 
also forsaken you. 

21 And they conspired against 
him, and stoned " him with stones 
at the commandment of the king 
in the court of the house of the 
Lord. 

22 Thus Joash the king remem- 
bered not the kindness which 
Jehoiada his father had done to 
him, but slew his son. And when 
he died, he said, The Lord look 
upon it, and require it. 

23 ^ And it came to pass 6 at the 
end of the year, that w the host of 
Syria came up against him: and 
they came to Judah and Jerusa- 
lem, and destroyed all the princes

of the people from among the peo^ 
pie, and sent all the spoil of them 
unto the king of 7 Damascus. 

24 For the army of the Syrians 
came * with a small company of 
men, and the Lord y delivered a 
very great host into their hand, 
because they had forsaken the 
Lord God of their fathers. So they 
executed * judgment against Joash. 

25 And when they were departed 
from him, (for they left him in 
great diseases,) his * own servants 
conspired against him for 6 the 
blood of the sons of Jehoiada the 
priest, and slew him on his bed, 
and he died: and they buried him 
in the city of David, but they buried 
him not in the sepulchres of the 
longs. ' 

26 And these are they that con- 
spired against him; 8 Zabad the 
son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, 
and Jehozabad the son of 9 Shim- 
rith a Moabitess. 

27 Now concerning his sons, and 
the greatness of c the burdens laid 
upon him, and the 10 repairing of 
the house of God, behold, they are 
written in the n story of the book 
of the kings. And * Amaziah his 
son reigned in his stead. 

CHAPTER XXV. 
1 Amaziah begins to reign well: 5 having 
hired an army of Israelites against the 
Edomites, at the word of a prophet he 
•loses a hundred talents, and dismisses 
them: 11 he overthrows the Edomites: 
17 he provokes Joash to his overthrow. 

AMAZIAH ° was twenty and five 
years old when he began to 
reign, and he reigned twenty and 
nine years in Jerusalem. And his 
mother's name was Jehoaddan of 
Jerusalem. 

2 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, h but not 
with a perfect heart. 

3 Now c it came to pass, when the 
kingdom was 1 established to him, 
that he slew his servants that had 
killed the king his father. 

4 But he slew not then children, 
but did as it is written in the law 
in the book of Moses, where uiu 
Lord commanded, saying, d The 
fathers shall not die for the chil- 
dren, neither shall the children die 
for the fathers, but every man shall 
die for his own sin. 

5 % Moreover Amaziah gathered 
Judah together, and made them 
captains over thousands, and cap- 
tains over hundreds, according to 
the houses of their fathers, through- 
out all Judah and Benjamin: and 



Amaziah mites the Edomites. 2 CHKONICLES, XXV. 



Joash defeats Amaziah. 



he numbered them e from twenty 
years old and above, and found 
them three hundred thousand 
i choice men, able to go forth to war, 
that could handle spear and shield. 

6 He hired also an hundred thou- 
sand mighty men of valour out 
of Israel for an hundred talents of 
silver. 

7 But there came a man of God 
to him, saying, king, let not the 
army of Israel go with thee; for 
the / Lord is not with Israel, to wit, 
with all the children of Ephraim. 

i 8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be 
strong for the battle : God shall 
make thee fall before the enemy: 

! for God hath 9 power to help, and 
to cast down. 

9 And Amaziah said to the man 
of God, But what shall we do for 
the hundred talents which I have 

: given to the 2 army of Israel? And 
the man of God answered, The 
Lord is* able to give thee much 

; more than this. 

! 1 Then Amaziah separated them, 
to wit, the army that was come to 
him out of Ephraim, to go 3 home 
again: wherefore then anger was 
greatly kindled against Judah, and 
they returned home 4 in great 
anger. 

11 And Amaziah strengthened 
himself, and led forth his people, 
and went to * the valley of Salt, 
and smote of the children of Seir 
ten thousand. 

12 And other ten thousand left 
alive did the children of Judah 

i carry away captive, and brought 

j them unto the top of the rock, and 

cast them down from the top of 

the rock, that they all were broken 

in pieces. 

13 But 5 the soldiers of the army 
which Amaziah sent back, that 
they should not go with him to 
battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, 
from Samaria even unto Beth- 
horon, and smote three thousand 
of them, and took much spoil. 

14 % Now it came to pass, after 
that Amaziah was come from the 
slaughter of the Edomites, that 
he i brought the gods of the chil- 
dren of Seir, and set them up to be 
his * gods, and bowed down himself 
before them, and burned incense 
unto them. 

15 "Wherefore the anger of the 
Lord was kindled against Ama- 
ziah, and he sent unto him a 
prophet, which said unto him, 
Why hast thou sought after l the

not deliver then own people out 
of thine hand? 

16 And it came to pass, as he 
talked with him, that the king said 
unto him, Art thou made of m the 
king's counsel ? forbear ; why 
shouldest thou be smitten? Then 
the prophet forbare, and said, I 
know that God hath 6 determined 
to destroy thee, because thou hast 
done this, and hast not hearkened 
unto my counsel. 

17 % Then n Amaziah king of 
Judah took advice, and sent to 
Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the 
son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, 
Come, let us see one another in the 
face. 

18 And Joash king of Israel sent 
to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, 
The 7 thistle that was in Lebanon 
sent to the cedar that was in 
Lebanon, saying, Give thy daugh- 
ter to my son to wife: and there 
passed by 8 a wild beast that was 
in Lebanon, and trode down the 
thistle. 

19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast 
smitten the Edomites; and thine 
heart lifteth thee up to boast: 
abide now at home; why should- 
est thou ° meddle to thine hurt, 
that thou shouldest fall, even thou, 
and Judah with thee? 

20 But Amaziah would not hear; 
for p it came of God, that he might 
deliver them into the hand of their 
enemies, because they sought after 
the gods of Edom. 

21 So Joash the king of Israel 
went up; and they saw one another 
in the face, both he and Amaziah 
king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, 
which belongeth to Judah. 

22 And Judah was 9 put to the' 
worse before Israel, and they fled 
every man to his tent. 

23 And Joash the king of Israel 
took Amaziah king of Judah, the 
son of Joash, the son of 3 Jehoahaz, 
at Beth-shemesh, and brought him 
to Jerusalem, and brake down the 
wall of Jerusalem from the gate of 
Ephraim to 10 the corner gate, four 
hundred cubits. 

24 And he took all the gold and 
the silver, and all the vessels that 
were found in the house of God 
with Obed-edom, and the treasures 
of the king's house, the u hos- 
tages also, and returned to Sa- 
maria. 

25 % And r Amaziah the son of 
Joash king of Judah lived after 



Reign of JJzziah.

ahaz king of Israel, fifteen years. 

26 Now the rest of the acts of 
Amaziah, first and last, behold, 
are they not written in the hook 
of the kings of Judah and Is- 
rael? 

27 1f Now after the time that 
Amaziah did turn away 12 from 
following the Lord they 13 made a 
conspiracy against him in Jerusa- 
lem; and he fled to Lachish: but 
they sent to Lachish after him, 
and slew him there. 

28 And th«f brought him upon 
horses, and buried him with his 
fathers in the city of 14 Judah. 

CHAPTER XXVI. 

1 Uzziah succeeds Amaziah, and reigns 
welt in the days of Zechariah: 9 Ms build- 
ings: 11 his host, and engines of war: 
16 he invades the priest's office, and is 
smitten with leprosy: 22 his death, etc. 

THEN all the people of Judah 
took l Uzziah, who was sixteen 
years old, and made him king in 
the room of his father Amaziah. 

2 He built Eloth, and restored it 
"to Judah, after that the king slept 
with his fathers. 

3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah 
when he began to reign, and he 
reigned fifty and two years in 
Jerusalem. His mother's name 
also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 

4 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, accord- 
ing to all that his father Amaziah 
did. 

5 And a he sought God in the 
days of Zechariah, who b had un- 
derstanding 2 in the visions of God: 
and as long as he sought the Lord, 
God made him to prosper. 

6 And he went forth and c waned 
against the Philistines, and brake 
down the wall of Gath, and the 
wall of Jabneh, and the wall of 
Ashdod, and built cities 3 about 
Ashdod, and among the Philis- 
tines. 

7 And God helped him d against 
the Philistines, and against the 
Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, 
and the Mehunims. 

8 And the Ammonites e gave gifts 
to Uzziah: and his name 4 spread 
abroad even to the entering in of 
Egypt; for he strengthened himself 
exceedingly. 

9 Moreover Uzziah built towers 
in Jerusalem at the / corner gate, 
and at the valley gate, and at the 
turning of the wall, and 5 fortified 
them. 

10 Also he built towers in 9 the

for he had much cattle, both in 
the low country, and in the plains; 
husbandmen also, and vine- 
dressers in the mountains, and in 
7 Carmel: for he loved 8 husbandry. 

11 % Moreover Uzziah had an 
host of fighting men, that went 
out to war by bands, according to 
the number of their account by 
the hand of Jeiel the scribe, and 
Maaseiah the ruler, under the 
hand of Hananiah, one of the 
king's captains. 

12 The whole number of the chief 
of the fathers of the mighty men 
of valour were two thousand and 
six hundred. 

13 And under their hand was 9 an 
army, three hundred thousand, 
and seven thousand and live hun- 
dred, that made war with mighty 
power, to help the king against 
the enemy. 

14 And Uzziah prepared for them, 
throughout all the host, shields, 
and spears, and helmets, and 
habergeons, and bows, and 10 slings 
to cast stones. 

15 And he made in Jerusalem 
engines, invented by cunning men, 
to be on the towers and upon the 
bulwarks, to shoot arrows and 
great stones withal. And his 
name u spread far abroad; for he 
was marvellously helped, till he 
was strong. 

16 % But h when he was strong, 
his heart was * lifted up to his de- 
struction: for he transgressed 
against the Lord his God, and 
went I into the temple of the Lord 
to burn incense upon the altar of 
incense. 

17 And k Azariah the priest went 
in after him, and with him four- 
score priests of the Lord, that were 
valiant men: 

18 And they l withstood Uzziah 
the king, and said unto him, m It 
appertained not unto thee, Uzziah, 
to burn incense unto the Lord, 
but to the " priests the sons of 
Aaron, that are consecrated to 
burn incense: go out of the sanc- 
tuary; for thou hast trespassed: 
neither shall it be for thine honour 
from the Lord God. 

19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and 
had a censer in his hand to bum 
incense: and while he was wroth 
with the priests, ° the leprosy even 
rose up in his forehead before the 
priests in the house of the Lord, 
from beside the incense altar. 



Jotham succeeds Uzziah. 2 CHRONICLES, XX VH, XXvTII. Wicked reign of Ahaz. 



20 And Azariah the chief priest, 
and all the priests, looked upon 
him, and, behold, he was leprous 
in his forehead, and they thrust 

; him out from thence; yea, himself 
hasted p also to go out, because the 
Lord had smitten him. 

21 And q Uzziah the king was a 
leper unto the day of his death, 
and dwelt in a 12 several house, 
being a leper; for he was cut off 
from the house of the Lord: and 
Jotham his son was over the king's 
house, judging the people of the 
laud. 

\ 22 $ Now the rest of the acts of 
Uzziah, first and last, did r Isaiah 
the prophet, the son of Amoz, 
write. 
\ 23 So 'Uzziah slept with his 
i fathers, and they buried him with 
his fathers in the field of the burial 
which belonged to the kings; for 
they said, He is a leper: and Jotham 
his son reigned in his stead.

JOTHAM a was twenty and five 
years old when he began to 
reign, and he reigned sixteen years 
in Jerusalem. His mother's name 
also was Jerushah, the daughter of 
Zadok. 

2 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that his father Uzziah did: 
howbeit 6 he entered not into the 
temple of the Lord. And c the 
people did yet corruptly. 

3 He built the high gate of the 
house of the Lord, and on the wall 
of x Ophel he built much. 

4 Moreover he built cities in the 
mountains of Judah, and in the 
forests he built castles and towers. 

5 He d fought also with the king 
of the Ammonites, and pre- 
vailed against them. And the 
children of Ammon gave him the 
same year an hundred talents of 
silver, and ten thousand measures 
of wheat, and ten thousand of 
barley. 2 So much did the chil- 
dren of Ammon pay unto him, 
both the second year and the 
third.

9 And Jotham slept with his 
fathers, and they buried him in 
the city of David: and Ahaz his 
son reigned in his stead. 

CHAPTER XXYHL 

1 Ahaz, reigning wickedly, is afflicted by 
the Syrians: 22 his idolatry in his dis- 
tress: 26 he dying, Hezekiah succeeds 
him. 

AHAZ ° was twenty years old 
when he began to reign, and 
he reigned sixteen years in Jerusa- 
lem: but he did not that which was 
right in the sight of the Lord, like 
David his father: 

2 For he walked in the ways of 
the kings of Israel, and made also 
molten b images for c Baalim. 

3 Moreover he x burnt incense in 
the d valley of the son of Hinnom, 
and burnt his e children in the 
fire, after the abominations of the 
heathen whom the Lord had 
cast out before the children oi 
Israel. 

4 He sacrificed also and burnt 
incense in the high places, and on 
the hills, and under every green 
tree. 

5 Wherefore /the Lord his God 
delivered him into the hand oi 
the king of Syria; and they s smote 
him, and carried away a great 
multitude of them captives, and 
brought them to 2 Damascus. And 
he was also delivered into the 
hand of the king of Israel, who 
smote him with a great slaugh- 
ter. 

6 For A Pekah the son of Rema- 
liah slew in Judah an hundred 
and twenty thousand in one day, 
which were all 3 valiant men; be- 
cause they had • forsaken the Lord 
God of their fathers. 

7 And Zichri, a mighty man of 
Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's 
son, and Azrikam the governor of 
the house, and Elkanah that was 
4 next to the king. 

8 And the children of Israel car- 
ried away captive of their i breth- 
ren two hundred thousand, women, 
sons, and daughters, and took also 
away much spoil from them, and 
brought the spoil to Samaria.

there, whose name was Oded: and 
he went out before the host that

not with " you, even with you, sins 
against the Lord your God? 

11 Now hear me therefore, and 
deliver the captives again, which 
ye have taken captive of your 
brethren: ° for the fierce wrath of 
the Lord is upon you. 

12 Then certain of the heads of 
the children of Ephraim, Azariah 
the son of Johanan, Berechiah the 
son of Meshillemoth, and Jehiz- 
kiah the son of Shallum, and 
Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood 
up against them that camefiom 
the war, 

13 And said unto them, Ye shall 
not bring in the captives hither: 
for whereas we have offended 
against the Lord already, ye intend 
to p add more to our sins and to our 
trespass: for our trespass is great, 
and there is fierce wrath against 
Israel. 

14 So the armed men left the cap- 
tives and the spoil before the 
princes and all the congregation. 

15 And the men which were ex- 
pressed by name rose up, and took 
the captives, and with the spoil 
clothed all that were naked among 
them, and arrayed them, and shod 
them, and * gave them to eat and 
to drink, and anointed them, and 
carried all the feeble of them upon 
asses, and brought them to Jericho, 
the r city of palm trees, to their 
brethren: then they returned to 
Samaria. 

16 fl At s that time did king Ahaz 
send unto the kings of Assyria to 
help him. 

17 For * again the Edomites had 
come and smitten Judah, and 
carried away 5 captives. 

18 The w Philistines also had in- 
vaded the cities of the low country, 
and of the south of Judah, and 
had taken Beth-shemesh, and Aja- 
lon, and Gederoth, and Shocho 
with the villages thereof, and Tim- 
nah with the villages thereof, Gim- 
zo also and the villages thereof: 
and they dwelt there.

low because of Ahaz king of " Is- 
rael; for he made w Judah naked, 
and transgressed sore against the 
Lord. 

20 And x Tilgath-pilneser king 
of Assyria came unto him, and 
distressed him, but strengthened 
him not. 

21 For Ahaz took away a portion 
out of the house of the Lord, and 
out of the house of the king, and of 
the princes, and gave it unto the 
king of Assyria: but he helped him 
not. 

22 And in the time y of his distress 
did he trespass yet more against 
the Lord: this is that king Ahaz. 

23 For z he sacrificed unto the 
gods of 6 Damascus, which smote 
him: and he said, Because the gods 
of the kings of Syria help them, 
therefore will I sacrifice to them, 
that a they may help me. But 
they were the ruin of him, and of 
all Israel. 

24 And Ahaz gathered together 
the vessels of the house of God, 
and cut in pieces the vessels of 
the house of God, and 6 shut up 
the doors of the house of the Lord, 
and he made him altars in every 
comer of Jerusalem. 

25 And in every several city oi 
Judah he made high places 7 to 
burn incense unto other gods, and 
provoked to anger the Lord God 
of his fathers. 

26 If Now c the rest of his acts and 
of all his ways, first and last, be- 
hold, they are written in the book 
of the kings of Judah and Israel. 

27 And Ahaz slept with his 
fathers, and they buried him in 
the city, even in Jerusalem; but 
they brought him not into the 
sepulchres of the kings of Israel: 
and Hezekiah his son reigned in 
his stead. 

CHAPTER XXIX. 

1 Uezekiah's good reign: 3 he restores 
religion. 12 The house of God cleansed. 

HEZEKIAH a began to reign 
when he was five and twenty 
years old, and he reigned nine and 
twenty years in Jerusalem. And 
his mother's name was Abijah, the 
daughter b of Zechariah. 

2 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that David his father had 
done, 

3 % He, in the c first year of his 
reign, in the first month, d opened 
the doors of the house of the Lord, 
and repaired them.

4 And lie brought in the priests 
and the Levites, and gathered 
them together into the east street, 

5 And said unto them, Hear me, 
ye Levites; 6 sanctify now your- 
selves, and sanctify the house of 
the Lord God of your fathers, and 
carry forth the x filthiness out of 
the holy place. 

6 For our fathers have trespassed, 
and done that which was evil in the 
eyes of the Lord our God, and 
have forsaken him, and have 
turned t away their faces from the 
habitation of the Lord, and 2 turn- 
ed their backs. 

7 Also 9 they have shut up the 
doors of the porch, and put out the 
lamps, and have not burnt incense 
nor offered burnt offerings in the 
holy place unto the God of Israel. 

8 Wherefore the h wrath of the 
Lord was upon Judah and Jeru- 
salem, and he hath delivered them 
to 3 trouble, to astonishment, and 
to * hissing, as ye see with your 
eyes. 

9 For, kV our fathers have fallen 
by the sword, and our sons and 
our daughters and our wives are 
in captivity, for this. 

10 Now it ism mine heart to make 
a * covenant with the Lord God of 
Israel that his fierce wrath may 
turn away from us. 

11 My sons, 4 be not now negli- 
gent; for the Lord hath l chosen 
you to stand before him, to serve 
him, and that ye should minister 
unto him, and 5 bum incense. 

12 Tf Then the Levites arose, Ma- 
hath the son of Amasai, and Joel 
the son of Azariah, of the sons of 
the Kohathites: and of the sons of 
Merari; Kish the son of Abdi, and 
Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and

15 And they gathered their bre- 
thren, and sanctified themselves, 
and came, according to the com-

to cleanse it, and brought out all 
the uncleanness that they found 
in the temple of the Lord into the 
court of the house of the Lord. 
And the Levites took it, to cany 
it out abroad into the brook Eid- 
ron. 

17 Now they began on the first 
day of the first month to sanctify, 
and on the eighth day of the month 
came they to the ° porch of the 
Lord: so they sanctified the house 
of the Lord in eight days; and in 
the sixteenth day of the first month 
they made an end. 

18 Then they went in toHezekiah 
the king, and said, "We have cleans- 
ed all the house of the Lord, and 
the altar of burnt offering, with all 
the vessels thereof, and the show- 
bread table, with all the vessels 
thereof. 

19 Moreover all the vessels, which 
king Ahaz in his reign did p cast 
away in his transgression, have we 
prepared and sanctified, and, be- 
hold, they are before the altar of 
the Lord. 

20 ^[ Then Hezekiah the king rose 
early, and gathered the rulers of 
the city, and went up to the house 
of the Lord. 

21 And they brought seven bul- 
locks, and seven rams, and seven 
lambs, and seven he-goats, for a 
sin 5 offering for the kingdom, and 
for the sanctuary, and for Judah. 
And he commanded the priests the 
sons of Aaron to offer them on the 
altar of the Lord. 

22 So they killed the bullocks, 
and the priests received the blood, 
and r sprinkled it on the altar: 
likewise, when they had killed the 
rams, they sprinkled the blood up- 
on the altar: they killed also the 
lambs, and they sprinkled the 
blood upon the altar. 

23 And they brought 7 forth the 
he-goats for the sin offering before 
the king and the congregation; 
and they laid their s hands upon 
them: 

24 And the priests killed them, 
and they made reconciliation with 
their blood upon the altar, * to 
make an atonement for all Israel: 
for the king commanded that the 
burnt offering and the sin offering 
should be made for all IsraeL 

25 And M he set the Levites in 
the house of the Lord with cym- 
bals, with psalteries, and with 
harps, " according to the com- 
mandment of David, and of w Gad

prophet: x for so was the com- 
mandment 8 of the Lord 9 by his 
prophets. 

* 26 And the Levites stood with the 
instruments y of David, and the 
priests with z the trumpets. 

27 And Hezekiah commanded to 
offer the burnt offering upon the 
altar. And 10 when the burnt 
offering began, ° the song of the 
Lord began also with the trumpets, 
and with the u instruments or- 
dained by David king of Israel. 

28 And all the congregation wor- 
shipped, and the 12 singers sang, 
and the trumpeters sounded: and 
all this continued until the burnt 
offering was finished. 

29 And when they had made an 
end of offering, b the king and all 
that were ia present with him bow- 
ed themselves, and worshipped. 

30 Moreover Hezekiah the king 
and the princes commanded the 
Levites to sing praise unto the 
Lord with the words of David, 
and of Asaph the seer: and they 
sang c praises with gladness, and 
they bowed their heads and wor- 
shipped. 

31 Then Hezekiah answered and 
said, Now ye have u consecrated 
yourselves unto the Lord, come 
near and bring sacrifices and thank 
offerings d into the house of the 
Lord. And the congregation 
brought in sacrifices and thank 
offerings; and as many as were of 
a free heart, burnt offerings. 

32 And the number of the burnt 
offerings, which the congregation 
brought, was threescore and ten 
bullocks, an hundred rams, and 
two hundred lambs: all these 
were for a burnt offering to the 
Lord. 

33 And the consecrated things 
were six hundred oxen and three 
thousand sheep. 

34 But the priests were too few, so 
that they could not flay all tbe 
burnt offerings: wherefore e their 
brethren the Levites 15 did help 
them, till the work was ended, and 
until the other priests had sanctified 
themselves: / for the Levites were 
more s upright in heart to sanctify 
themselves than the priests. 

35 And also the burnt offerings 
were in abundance, with h the fat 
of the peace offerings, and » the 
drink offerings for every burnt of- 
fering. So the service of the house 
of the Lord was set in order.

36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and 
all the people, that God had pre- 
pared the people: for i the thing 
was done suddenly. 

CHAPTER XXX. 

1 Hezekiah proclaims a passover. 13 The 
assembly destroy the attars of idolatry. 

AND Hezekiah sent to all Is- 
rael and Judah, and wrote 
letters also to Ephraim and Man- 
asseh, that they should come to 
the house of the Lord at Jerusa- 
lem, to keep the passover unto the 
Lord God of Israel. 

2 For the king had taken counsel, 
and his princes, and all the con- 
gregation in Jerusalem, to keep 
the passover in the a second 
month. 

3 For they could not keep it 6 at 
that time, c because the priests had 
not sanctified themselves suffi- 
ciently, neither had the people 
gathered themselves together to 
Jerusalem. 

4 And the thing x pleased the 
king and all the congregation. 

5 So they established a decree to 
make proclamation throughout all 
Israel, from Beer-sheba even to 
Dan, that they should come to 
keep the passover unto the Lord 
God of Israel at Jerusalem: for 
they had not done it of a long time 
in such sort as it was written. 

6 So the posts went with the 
letters 2 from the king and his 
princes throughout all Israel and 
Judah, and according to the com- 
mandment of the king, saying, Ye 
children of Israel, a turn again unto 
the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, 
and Israel, and he will return to the 
remnant of you that are escaped 
out of the hand of 6 the kings of 
Assyria. 

7 And be not ye / like your 
fathers, and like your brethren, 
which trespassed against the Lord 
God of their fathers, who therefore 
gave 9 them up to desolation, as 
ye see. 

8 Now 3 be ye not n stiff-necked, 
as your fatheis were, but * yield 
yourselves unto the Lord, and 
enter into his sanctuary, which he 
hath sanctified for ever; and serve 
the Lord your God, * that the 
fierceness of his wrath may turn 
away from you. 

9 For if ye turn again unto the 
Lord, your brethren and your 
children shall find i compassion 
before them that lead them cap- 
tive, so that they shall come again 



Thepassover observed. 2 CHEONICLES, XXXI. Idolatry destroyed in Judah. 



into this land: for the Loud your 
God is gracious * and merciful, and 
will not turn away his face from 
you, if ye l return unto him. 

10 So the posts passed from city 
to city through the country of 
Ephraim and Manasseh even unto 
Zebulun: but m they laughed them 
to scorn, and mocked them. 

11 Nevertheless n divers of Asher 
and Manasseh and of Zebulun 
humbled themselves, and came to 
Jerusalem. 

12 Also in Judah ° the hand of 
God was to give them one heart 
to do the commandment of the 
king and of the princes, v by the 
word of the Lord. 

13 % And there assembled at 
Jerusalem much people to keep 
the feast of unleavened bread in 
the second month, a very great 
congregation. 

14 And they arose, and took 
away the q altars that were in Jeru- 
salem, and all the altars for incense 
took they away, and cast them into 
the brook Kidron. 

15 Then they killed the pass- 
over on the fourteenth day of the 
second month: and the priests and 
the Levites were r ashamed, and 
sanctified themselves, and brought 
in the burnt offerings into the 
house of the Lord. 

16 And they stood in 5 their place 
after their manner, according to 
the law of Moses the man of God: 
the priests sprinkled the blood, 
which they received of the hand of 
the Levites: 

17 For there were many in the 
congregation that were not sanc- 
tified: 8 therefore the Levites had 
the charge of the killing of the 
passovers for every one that was not 
clean, to sanctify them unto the 
Lord. 

18 For a multitude of the people, 
even many of Ephraim, and Man- 
asseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had 
not cleansed themselves, yet * did 
they eat the passover otherwise 
than it was written: but Hezekiah 
prayed for them, saying, The good 
Lord pardon every one 

19 That u prepareth his heart to 
seek God, the Lord God of his 
fathers, though he be not cleansed 
according to the purification of the 
sanctuary. 

20 And the Lord hearkened to 
Hezekiah, and "healed the people. 

21 And the children of Israel 
that were 6 present at Jerusalem

kept w the feast of unleavened 
bread seven days with great glad- 
ness: and the Levites and the 
priests praised the Lord day by 
day, singing with 7 loud instru- 
ments unto the Lord. 

22 And Hezekiah spake 8 com- 
fortably unto all the Levites x that 
taught the good knowledge of the 
Lord: and they did eat through- 
out the feast seven days, offer- 
ing peace offerings, and * making 
confession to the Lord God of 
their fathers. 

23 And the whole assembly took 
counsel to keep z other seven days: 
and they kept other seven days 
with gladness. 

24 For Hezekiah king of Judah 
9 did give to the congregation a 
thousand bullocks and seven thou- 
sand sheep; and the princes gave 
to the congregation a thousand 
bullocks and ten thousand sheep: 
and a great number of priests 
sanctified a themselves. 

25 And all the congregation of 
Judah, with the priests and the 
Levites, and all the congregation 
that 6 came out of Israel, and the 
strangers that came out of the land 
of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, 
rejoiced. 

26 So there was great joy in 
Jerusalem : for since the time of 
Solomon the son of David king of 
Israel there was not the like in 
Jerusalem. 

27 Then the priests the Levites 
arose and c blessed the people: and 
their voice was heard, and their 
prayer came up to 10 his holy dwell- 
ing place, even unto heaven.

people that dwelt in Jerusalem to 
give the 6 portion of the priests 
and the Levites, that they might be 
encouraged in /the law of theLoRD. 

5 And as soon as the command- 
ment 4 came abroad, the children 
of Israel brought in abundance 
the 9 first-fruits of com, wine, and 
oil, and 5 honey, and of all the in- 
crease of the held; and the tithe of 
all things brought they in abun- 
dantly. 

6 And concerning the children of 
Israel and Judah, that dwelt in 
the cities of Judah, they also 
brought in the tithe of oxen and 
sheep, and the h tithe of holy 
things which were consecrated 
unto the Lord their God, and 
laid them 6 by heaps. 

7 In the third month they began 
to lay the foundation of the heaps, 
and finished them in the seventh 
month. 

8 And when Hezekiah and the 
princes came and saw the heaps, 
they blessed the Lord, and » his 
people Israel. 

9 Then Hezekiah questioned 
with the priests and the Levites 
concerning the heaps. 

10 And Azariah the chief priest 
of the house of Zadok answered 
him, and said, Since i the people 
began to bring the offerings into 
the house of the Lord, we have 
had enough to eat, and have left 
plenty: for the Lord hath blessed 
his people; and that which is left 
is this great store. 

11 % Then Hezekiah commanded 
to prepare 7 chambers in the house 
of the Lord; and they prepared 
them, 

12 And brought in the offerings 
and the tithes and the dedicated 
things faithfully: over k which Con- 
oniah the Levite was ruler, and 
Shimei his brother was the next.

Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Ben- 
aiah, were overseers 8 under the 
hand of Cononiah and Shimei his 
brother, at the commandment of 
Hezekiah the king, and Azariah 
the ruler of the house of God. 

14 And Kore the son of Imnah 
the Levite, the porter toward the 
east, was over the free-will offer- 
ings of God, to distribute the obla- 
tions of the Lord, and the 9 most 
holy things. 

15 And 10 next him were Eden, 
and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and 
Shemaiah, Amariah, and Sheca- 
niah, in l the cities of the priests, 
in their n set office, to give to their 
brethren by courses, as well to the 
great as to the small: 

16 Besides their genealogy of 
males, from three years old and 
upward, even unto every one that 
entereth into the house of the 
Lord, his 12 daily portion for their 
service in their charges according 
to their courses; 

17 Both to the genealogy of the 
priests by the house of their fa- 
thers, and the Levites '"from 
twenty years old and upward, in 
their charges by their courses; 

18 And to the genealogy of all 
their little ones, their wives, and 
their sons, and their daughters, 
through all the congregation: for 
in their 13 set office they sanctified 
themselves in holiness: 

19 Also of the sons of Aaron the 
priests, which were in n the fields of 
the suburbs of their cities, in every 
several city, the men that ° were 
expressed by name, to give por- 
tions to all the males among the 
priests, and to all that were reck- 
oned by genealogies among the 
Levites. 

20 If And thus did Hezekiah 
throughout all Judah, s and 
wrought that which was good and 
right and truth before the Lord 
his God. 

21 And in every work that he 
began in the service of the house 
of God, and in the law, and in the 
commandments, to seek his God, 
he did it with all his heart, 2 and 
prospered.

entered into Judah, and encamped 
against the fenced cities, and 
thought x to win them for himself 

2 And when Hezekiah saw that 
Sennacherib was come, and that 

2 he was purposed to fight against 
Jerusalem, 

3 He took counsel with his 
princes and his mighty men to 
stop the waters of the fountains 
which were without the city: and 
they did help him. 

4 So there was gathered much 
people together, who stopped all 
the fountains, and the brook that 

3 ran through the midst of the 
land, saying, Why should the kings 
of Assyria come, and find much 
water? 

5 Also 6 he strengthened himself, 
and c built up all the wall that was 
broken, and raised it up to the 
towers, and another wall without, 
and repaired d Millo in the city of 
David, and made 4 darts and 
shields in abundance. 

6 And he set captains of war over 
the people, and gathered them 
together to him in the street of 
the gate of the city, and 5 spake 
comfortably to them, saying, 

7 Be e strong and courageous, /be 
not afraid nor dismayed for the 
king of Assyria, nor for all the 
multitude that is with him: 9 for 
there fomore with usthan withhim: 

8 With him is an h arm of flesh; 
but ' with us is the Lord our God 
to Lelp us, and to fight our battles. 
And the people b rested them- 
selves upon the words of Hezekiah 
king of Judah. 

9 *[ After i this did Sennacherib 
king of Assyria send his servants 
to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid 
siege against Lachish, and all his 
7 power with him,) unto Hezekiah 
king of Judah, and unto all Judah 
that were at Jerusalem, saying, 

10 Thus saith Sennacherib king 
of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, 
that ye abide 8 in the siege in 
Jerusalem? 

11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade 
you to give over yourselves to die 
by famine and by thirst, saying, 
I he Lord our God shall deliver 
us out of the hand of the king of 
Assyria? 

12 Hath not the same Hezekiah 
taken away his high places and 
his altars, and commanded Judah 
and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall 
worship before one altar, and burn 
incense upon it?

13 Know ye not what I and my : 
fathers have done unto all the ; 
people of other lands? k were the 
gods of the nations of those lands 
any ways able to deliver their lands 
out of mine hand? 

14 Who was there among all the , 
gods of those nations that my \ 
fathers utterly destroyed, that 
could deliver his people out of 
mine hand, that your God should 
be able to deliver you out of mine 
hand? 

15 2sow therefore let not Heze- 
kiah deceive you, nor persuade 
you on this manner, neither yet \ 
believe him: for no god of any ; 
nation or kingdom was able to 
deliver bis people out of mine 
hand, and out of the hand of my 
fathers: l how much less shall 
your God deliver you out of mine 
hand? 

16 And his servants spake yet ! 
more against the Lord God, and ' 
against his servant Hezekiah. 

17 He m wrote also letters to rail 
on the Lord God of Israel, and to 
speak against him, saying, As the 
gods of the nations of other lands [ 
have not delivered their people 
out of mine hand, so shall not the 
God of Hezekiah deliver his people 
out of mine hand. 

18 Then n they cried with a loud 
voice in the Jews' speech unto the 
people of Jerusalem that were on 
the wall, to affright them, and to 
trouble them, that they might 
take the city. 

19 And ° they spake against the 
God of Jerusalem, as against the 
gods of the people of the earth, 
which were p the work of the hands 
of man. 

20 And for this cause Hezekiah 
the king, and the prophet Isaiah 
the son of Amoz. prayed and cried 
to heaven. 

21 And the Lord sent an angel, 
which cut off all the mighty men 
of valour, and the leaders and 
captains in the camp of the king 
of Assyria, So he returned with 
shame of face to his own land. 
And when he was come into the 
house of his god, they that came 
forth of his own bowels s slew him 
there with the sword. 

22 Thus the Lord 2 saved 
Hezekiah and the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem from the hand of 
Sennacherib the king of Assyria, 
and from the hand of all other, and 
guided them on every side. 



The death of Hezekiah. 



2 CHRONICLES, XXXIII. 



Reign of Manasseh- 



23 And many brought gifts unto 
the Lord to Jerusalem, and 10 pres- 
ents to Hezekiah king of Judah; 
so that he was r magnified in the 
sight of all nations from thence- 
forth. 

24 \ In s those days Hezekiah 
was sick to the death, and prayed 
unto the Lord: and he spake unto 
him, and he u gave him a sign. 

25 But Hezekiah « rendered not 
again according to the benefit done 
unto him; for his u heart was lifted 
up: therefore " there was wrath 
upon him, and upon Judah and 
Jerusalem. 

26 Notwithstanding w Hezekiah 
humbled himself for 12 the pride 
of his heart, both he and the in- 
habitants of Jerusalem, so that 
the wrath of the Lord came not 
upon them in x the days of Heze- 
kiah. 

27 f And Hezekiah had exceeding 
much riches and honour: and he 
made himself treasuries for silver, 
and for gold, and for precious 
stones, and for spices, and for 
shields, and for all manner of 

13 pleasant jewels; 

28 Storehouses also for the in- 
crease of corn, and wine, and oil; 
and stalls for all manner of beasts, 
and cotes for flocks. 

29 Moreover he provided him 
cities, and possessions of flocks and 
herds in abundance; for God had 
given y him substance very much. 

30 This * same Hezekiah also 
stopped the upper water course of 
Gihon, and brought it straight 
down to the west side of the city 
of David. And Hezekiah pros- 
pered in all his works. 

31 Howbeit in the business of the 

14 ambassadors of the princes of 
Babylon, who sent a unto him to 
enquire of the wonder that was 
done in the land, God left him, to 
try 6 him, that he might know all 
that was in his heart. 

32 % Now the rest of the acts of 
Hezekiah, and his 15 goodness, be- 
hold, they are written in c the vision 
of Isaiah the prophet, the son of 
Amoz, and in the d book of the 
kings of Judah and Israel. 

33 And Hezekiah slept with his 
fathers, and they buried him in 
the 16 chiefest of the sepulchres of 
the sons of David: and all Judah 
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem 
did him e honour at his death. 
And Manasseh his son reigned in 
his stead.

CHAPTEK XXXIII. 

1 Manasseh's wicked reign: 11 he is car- 
ried into Babylon; where he humbles 
himself before God, and is restored to 
his kingdom; 20 he dies. Amon succeeds 
him: 24 he is slain by his servants. 25 Jo- 
siah succeeds him. 

MANASSEH a was twelve years 
old when he began to reign; 
and he reigned fifty and five years 
in Jerusalem: 

2 But did that which was evil in 
the sight of tbe Lord, like unto 
the 5 abominations of the heathen, 
whom the Lord had cast out be- 
fore the children of Israel. 

3 For l he built again the high 
places which Hezekiah his father 
had c broken down, and he reared 
up altars for Baalim, and d made 
groves, and worshipped 6 all the 
host of heaven, and served them. 

4 Also he built altars in the house 
of the Lord, whereof the Lord had 
said, / In Jerusalem shall my name 
be for ever. 

5 And he built altars for all the 
host of heaven 3 in the two courts 
of the house of the Lord. 

6 And h he caused his children to 
pass through the fire in the valley 
of the son of Hinnom; * also he 
observed times, and used enchant- 
ments, and used witchcraft, and 
dealt ■? with a familiar spirit, and 
with wizards: he wrought much 
evil in the sight of the Lord, to 
provoke him to anger. 

7 And k he set a carved image, 
the idol which he had made, in 
the house of God, of which God 
had said to David and to Solomon 
his son, In l this house, and in 
Jerusalem, which I have chosen 
before all the tribes of Israel, will 
I put my name for ever: 

8 Neither m will I any more re- 
move the foot of Israel from out of 
the land which I have appointed 
for your fathers; so that they will 
take heed to do all that I have 
commanded them, according to 
the whole law and the statutes 
and the ordinances by the hand of 
Moses. 

9 So Manasseh made Judah and 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem to 
err, and to do worse than the 
heathen, whom the Lord had I 
destroyed before the children of ! 
Israel. 

10 % And the n Lord spake to 
Manasseh, and to his people; but 
they would not hearken. 

11 Wherefore ° the Lord brought 



Amon succeeds Manasseh. 2 CHEONICLES, XXXIV. 



Josiah's good reign. 



npon them the captains of the 
host 2 of the king of Assyria, which 
took Manasseh among the thorns, 
and p hound him with 3 fetters, and 
carried him to Bahylon. 

12 And when q he was in affliction, 
he besought the Lord his God, 
and r humbled himself greatly be- 
fore the God of his fathers, 

13 And prayed unto him: and he 
was entreated s of him, and heard 
his supplication, and brought him 
again to Jerusalem into his king- 
dom. Then Manasseh * knew that 
the Lord he was God. 

14 \ Now after this he built a wall 
without the city of David, on the 
west side M of Gihon, in the valley, 
even to the entering in at the 
fish gate, and compassed v about 
4 Ophel, and raised it up a very 
great height, and put captains of 
war in all the fenced cities of 
Judah. 

15 And he took away the strange 
gods, and the idol out of the house 
of the Lord, and all the altars 
that he had built in the mount of 
the house of the Loed, and in 
Jerusalem, and cast them out of the 
city. 

16 And he repaired the altar of 
the Lord, and sacrificed thereon 
peace offerings and thank w offer- 
ings, and commanded Judah to 
serve the Lord God of Israel. 

11 Nevertheless x the people did 
sacrifice still in the high places, yet 
unto the Lord their God only. 

18 ^f Now the rest of the acts of 
Manasseh, and his prayer unto his 
God, and the words of the seers 
that spake to him in the name of 
the Lord God of Israel, behold, 
they are written in the book of the 
kings of Israel. 

19 His prayer also, and how God 
was entreated of him, and all his 
sins, and his trespass, and the 
places wherein he built high places, 
and set up groves and graven im- 
ages, before he was humbled: be- 
hold, they are written among the 
sayings of 5 the seers. 

20 So Manasseh slept with his 
fathers, and they buried him in 
his own house: and Amon his son 
reigned in his stead. 

21 1[ Amon was two and twenty 
years old when he began to reign, 
and reigned two years in Jerusa- 
lem. 

22 But he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, as did 
Manasseh his father: for Amon

CHAPTER XXX1Y. 
1 Josiah's good reign: 3 he destroys idol- 
atry: 8 he repairs the temple; 19 and, 
causing the law to be read, renews the 
covenant between God and the people. 

JOSIAH a was eight years old 
when he began to reign; and 
he reigned in Jerusalem one and 
thirty years. 

2 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, and walk- 
ed in the ways of David his father, 
and declined neither to the right 
hand nor to the left. 

3 For in the eighth year of his 
reign, while he was yet 6 young, he 
began to seek c after the God of 
David his father: and in the twelfth 
year he began d to purge Judah 
and Jerusalem e from the high 
places, and the groves, and the 
carved images, and the molten 
images. 

4 And / they brake down the 
altars of Baalim in his presence; 
and the x images that w-ere on high 
above them he cut down; and the j 
groves, and the carved images, i 
and the molten images, he brake 
in pieces, and made dust of them, 
and 9 strowed it upon the 2 graves 
of them that had sacrificed unto 
them. 

5 And he h burnt the bones of 
the priests upon their altars, and 
cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. 

6 And so did he in the cities of 
Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Si- 
meon, even unto Naphtali, with 
their 3 mattocks round about. 

7 And when he had broken down 
the altars and the groves, and had 
beaten » the graven images i into 
powder, and cut down all the idols 
throughout all the land of Israel, 
he returned to Jerusalem. 

8 % Now i in the eighteenth year 
of his reign, when he had purged 
the land, and the house, he sent 
Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and 



Josiah repairs the temple. 2 CHRONICLES, XXXIV.

and Joah the son of Joahaz the 
recorder, to repair the house of the 
Lord his God. 

9 And when they came to Hilldah 
the high priest, they delivered * the 
money that was brought into the 
house of God, which the Levites 
that kept the doors had gathered 
of the hand of Manasseh and Eph- 
raim, and of all the remnant of 
Israel, and of all Judah and Ben- 
jamin; and they returned to Jeru- 
salem. 

10 And they put it in the hand of 
the workmen that had the over- 
sight of the house of the Lord, and 
they gave it to the workmen that 
wrought in the house of the Lord, 
to repair and amend the house: 

11 Even to the artificers and 
builders gave they it, to buy hewn 
stone, and timber for couplings, 
and 5 to floor the houses which the 
kings of Judah had destroyed. 

1 2 And the men did the l work 
faithfully: and the overseers of 
them were Jahath and Obadiah,the 
Levites, of the sons of Merari; and 
Zechariah and Meshullam, of the 
sons of the Kohathites, to set it for- 
ward; and otlier of the Levites, all 
that could skill of instruments of 
music. 

13 Also they were over the bearers 
of burdens, and were overseers of 
all that wrought the work in any 
manner of service : m and of the 
Levites there were scribes, and offi- 
cers, and porters. 

14 ^ And when they brought out 
the money that was brought into 
the house of the Lord, Hilldah the 
priest n found a book of the law of 
the Lord given 6 by Moses. 

15 And Hilkiah answered and 
said to Shaphan the scribe, I have 
found the book of the law in the 
house of the Lord. And Hilkiah 
delivered the book to Shaphan. 

16 And Shaphan carried the book 
to the king, and brought the king 
word back again, saying, All that 
was committed 7 to thy servants, 
they do it. 

17 And they have 8 gathered to- 
gether the money that was found 
in the house of the Lord, and have 
delivered it into the hand of the 
overseers, and to the hand of the 
workmen. 

18 Then Shaphan the scribe told 
the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest 
hath given me a book. And Sha- 
phan read 9 it before the king.

19 And it came to pass, when the 
king had heard the ° words of the 
law, that he p rent his clothes. 

20 And the king commanded Hil- 
kiah, and Ahikam the son of Sha- 
phan, and 10 Abdon -the son of 
Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, 
and Asaiah aseivant of the king's, 
saying, 

21 Go, enquire of the Lord for 
me, and for them that are q left in 
Israel and in Judah, concerning 
the words of the book that is 
found: for great is the wrath of the 
Lord that is poured out upon us,, 
because our fathers have not kept 
the word of the Lord, to do after 
all that is written in this book. 

22 And Hilkiah, and they that the 
king had appointed, went to Huldah 
the r prophetess,the wife of Shallum 
the son of Tikvath, * the son of 
11 Hasrah, keeper of the 12 ward- 
robe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem 
13 in the college;) and they spake 
to her to that effect. 

23 And she answered them, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell 
ye the man that sent you to me, 

24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, 
I * will bring evil upon this place, 
and upon the inhabitants thereof, 
even all the curses that are written 
in the book which they have read 
before the king of Judah: 

25 Because they have forsaken 
me, and have burned incense unto 
other gods, that they might pro- 
voke me to anger with all the 
works of their hands; therefore my 
wTathshall be poured out upon this 
place, and shall not be quenched. 

28 And as for the king of Judah. 
who sent you to enquire of the 
Lord, so shall ye say unto him, 
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel 
concerning the words which thoU 
hast heard; 

27 Because thine heart was u ten- 
der, and thou didst humble thyself 
before God, when thou heardest 
his words against this place, and 
against the inhabitants thereof, 
and humbledst thyself before me, 
and didst rend thy clothes, and 
weep before me ; I have even 
heard * thee also, saith the Lord, 

28 Behold, I will gather thee to 
thy fathers, and thou shalt be 
gathered to thy grave in peace, 
neither shall thrne eyes see all the 
evil that I will bring upon this 
place, and upon the inhabitants of 
the same. So they brought the 
king word again.

29 f Then w the king sent and 
gathered together all the elders of 
Judah and Jerusalem. 

30 And the king went up into 
the house of the Lord, and all the 
men of Judah, and the inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem, and the priests, 
and the Levites, and all the peo- 
ple, u great and small ; and he 
read in their ears all the words 
of the book of the covenant that 
was found in the house of the 
Lord. 

31 And the king stood in x his 
place, and made a covenant before 
the Lord, to walk after the Lord, 
and to keep his commandments, 
and his testimonies, and his stat- 
utes, with all his heart, and with 
all his soul, to perform the words 
of the covenant which are written 
in this book. 

32 And he caused all that were 

15 present in Jerusalem and Ben- 
jamin to stand to it. And the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem did ac- 
cording to the .covenant of God, 
the God of their fathers. 

33 And Josiah took away all the 
abominations y out of all the coun- 
tries that pertained to the children 
of Israel, and made all that were 
present in Israel to serve, even to 
serve the Lord their God. z And 
all his days they departed not 

16 from following the Lord, the 
God of their fathers.

according to the divisions of x the 
families of the fathers of your 
brethren 2 the people, and after 
the division of the families of the 
Levites. 

6 So kill the passover, m and 
sanctify yourselves, and prepare 
your brethren, that they may do 
according to the word of the Lord 
by the hand of Moses. 

7 And Josiah 3 gave to the people, 
of the flock, lambs and kids, all 
for the passover offerings, for all 
that were present, to the number 
of thirty thousand, and three 
thousand bullocks: these were of 
the king's substance. 

8 And his princes 4 gave willingly 
unto the people, to the priests, and 
to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zech- 
ariah and Jehiel, rulers of the 
house of God, gave unto the priests 
for the passover offerings two 
thousand and six hundred small 
cattle, and three hundred oxen. 

9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah 
and Nethaneel, his brethren, and 
Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, 
chief of the Levites, 6 gave unto 
the Levites for passover offerings 
five thousand small cattle, and five 
hundred oxen. 

10 So the service was prepared, 
and the priests n stood in their 
place, and the Levites in their 
courses, according to the king's 
commandment. 

11 And they killed the passover, 
and the priests ° sprinkled the blood 
from their hands, and the Levites 
flayed v them. 

12 And they removed the burnt 
offerings, that they might give 
according to the divisions of the 
families of the people, to offer unto 
the Lord, as it is written q in the 
book of Moses: and so did they with 
the oxen. 

13 And they r roasted the pass- 
over with fire according to the ordi- 
nance: but the other holy offerings 
sod s they in pots, and in caldrons, 
and in pans, and 6 divided them 
speedily among all the people. 

14 And afterward they made 
ready for themselves, and for the 
priests: because the priests the 
sons of Aaron were busied in offer- 
ing of burnt offerings and the fat 
until night; therefore the Levites 
prepared for themselves, and for 
the priests the sons of Aaron. 

15 And the singers the sons of 
Asaph were in then* 7 place, accord- 
ing to the ' commandment of 



Josiah slain at Megiddo. 2 CHRONICLES, XXXVI. Jehoahaz deposed by Pharaoh, 



David, and Asaph, and Heman, 
and Jeduthun the king's seer; and 
the porters u waited at every gate; 
they; might not depart from their 
service; for their brethren the 
Levites prepared for them. 

16 So all the service of the Lord 
was prepared the same day, to 
keep the passover, and to offer 
burnt offerings upon the altar of 
the Lord, according to the com- 
mandment of king Josiah. 

17 And the children of Israel that 
were 8 present kept the passover 
at that time, and the feast " of 
unleavened bread seven days. 

18 And w there was no passover 
like to that kept in Israel from 
the days of Samuel the prophet; 
neither did all the kings of Israel 
keep such a passover as Josiah 
kept, and the priests, and the 
Levites, and all Judah and Israel 
that were present, and the inhab- 
itants of Jerusalem. 

19 In the eighteenth year of the 
reign of Josiah was this passover 
kept. 

20 f After x all this, when Josiah 
had prepared the 9 temple, Necho 
king of Egypt came up to fight 
against Carchemish by Euphrates: 
and Josiah went out against 
him. 

21 But he sent ambassadors to 
him, saying, What have I to do 
with thee, thou king of Judah? / 
come not against thee this day, but 
against 10 the house wherewith I 
have war; for y God commanded 
me to make haste: forbear thee 
from meddling with God, who is 
with me, that he destroy thee 
not. 

22 Nevertheless Josiah would not 
turn his face from him, but z dis- 
guised himself, that he might 
right with him, and hearkened not 
unto the words of Necho from the 
mouth of God, and came to fight 
in the valley of Megiddo. 

23 And the archers shot at king 
Josiah : and the king said to his 
servants, Have me away; for I am 
sore u wounded. 

24 His a servants therefore took 
him out of that chariot, and put 
him in the second chariot that he 
had; and they brought him to 
Jerusalem, and he died, and was 
buried 12 in one of the sepulchres 
of his fathers : and h all Judah 
and Jerusalem mourned for 
Josiah.

proclamation, 

THEN a the people of the land 
took Jehoahaz the son of 
Josiah, and made him king in his 
father's stead in Jerusalem. 

2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three 
years old when he began to reign, 
and he reigned three months in 
Jerusalem. 

3 And the king of Egypt 1 put 
him down at Jerusalem, and 2 con- 
demned the land in an hundred 
talents of silver and a talent of 
gold. 

4 And the king of Egypt made 
Eliakim his brother king over 
Judah and Jerusalem, and turned 
his name to Jehoiakim. And 
Necho took b Jehoahaz his brother, 
and carried him to Egypt. 

5 % Jehoiakim c was twenty and 
five years old when he began to 
reign, and he reigned eleven years 
in Jerusalem: and he did that which 
was evil in the sight of the Lord 
his God. 

6 Against d him came up Nebu- 
chadnezzar king of Babylon, and 
bound him in 3 fetters, to e carry 
him to Babylon. 

7 Nebuchadnezzar / also carried 
of the vessels of the house of the 
Lord to Babylon, and put them 
in his temple at Babylon. 

8 Now the rest of the acts of Je- 
hoiakim, and his abominations j

found in him, behold, they are 
written in the book of the kings 
of Israel and Judah: and 4 Je-

the Lord. 

10 And 5 when the year was ex- 
pired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent 
and brought him to Babylon, 
with * the 6 goodly vessels of the 
house of the Lord, and made Zede- 
kiah his brother king over Judah

11 If Zedekiah * was one and 
twenty years old when he began

12 And he did that which was 
evil in the sight of the Lord his 
God, and humbled not himself 
before Jeremiah the prophet, speak- 
ing from the mouth of the Lord. 

13 And 3 he also rebelled against 
king Nebuchadnezzar, who had 
made him swear by God: but k he 
stiffened his neck, and hardened 
his heart from turning unto the 
Lord God of Israel. 

14 Moreover all the chief of the 
priests and the people transgressed 
very much after all the abomina- 
tions of the heathen, and polluted 
the house of the Lord which he 
had hallowed in Jerusalem. 

15 And ' the Lord God of then- 
fathers sent to them 7 by his mes-

the Lord, h which Nebuchadnezzar 
had brought forth out of Jerusalem, 
and had put them in the house of 
his gods; 

8 Even those did Cyrus king of 
Persia bring forth by the hand of 
Mithredath the treasurer, and 
numbered them unto * Shesh- 
bazzar, the prince of Judah. 

9 And this is the number of them: 
thirty chargers of gold, a thousand 
chargers of silver, nine and twenty 
knives, 

10 Thirty basins of gold, silver 
basins of a second sort four hundred 
and ten, and other vessels a thou-

hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar

69 They gave after their ability 
unto the treasure of the work

of gold, and five thousand pound 
of silver, and one hundred priests' 
garments.

the Nethinims, dwelt in their

1 The altar set up. 4 Offerings renewed. 
8 The foundation of the temple laid. 

AND when the seventh month 
was come, and the children 
of Israel were in the cities, the peo- 
ple gathered themselves together 
as one man to Jerusalem. 

2 Then stood up a Jeshua the son 
of Jozadak, and his brethren the 
priests, and Zerubbabel 6 the son 
of c Shealtiel, and his brethren, 
and builded the altar of the God of 
Israel, to offer burnt offerings there- 
on, as it is d written in the law of 
Moses the man of God. 

3 And they set the altar upon 
his bases; for fear was upon them 
because of the people of those 
countries: and they offered burnt 
offerings thereon unto the Lord, 
even burnt e offerings morning 
and evening. 

4 They / kept also the feast of 
tabernacles, as 9 it is written, and 
offered h the daily burnt offerings 
by number, according to the cus- 
tom, x as the duty of every day 
required; 

5 And afterward offered the * con- 
tinual burnt offering, both of the 
new moons, and of all the set feasts 
of the Lord that were consecrated, 
and of every one that willingly 
offered a free- will offering unto the 
Lord. 

6 From the first day of the seventh 
month began they to offer burnt 
offerings unto the Lord. But 2 the 
foundation of the temple of the 
Lord was not yet laid. 

7 They gave money also unto the 
masons, and to the 3 carpenters; 
and i meat, and drink, and oil, 
unto them of Zidon, and to them 
of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from 
Lebanon to the sea of k Joppa,

8 % Now in the second year of 
their coming unto the house of God 
at Jerusalem, in the second month, 
began Zerubbabel the son of Sheal- 
tiel, and Jeshua the son of Joza- 
dak, and the remnant of their 
brethren the priests and the Le- 
vites, and all they that were come 
out of the captivity unto Jerusa- 
lem; m and appointed the Levites, 
from twenty years old and upward, 
to set forward the work of the 
house of the Lord. 

9 Then stood n Jeshua with his 
sons and his brethren, Kadmiel 
and his sons, the sons of ° Judah, 
4 together, to set forward the work- 
men in the house of God; the sons 
of Henadad, with their sons and 
their brethren the Levites. 

10 And when the builders laid 
the foundation p of the temple of 
the Lord, q they set the priests in 
their apparel with trumpets, and 
the Levites, the sons of Asaph, 
with cymbals, to praise the Lord, 
after the r ordinance of David king 
of Israel. 

11 And * they sang together by 
course in praising and giving 
thanks unto the Lord; because 
he * is good, M for his mercy endureth 
for ever toward Israel. And all 
the people shouted with a great 
shout, when they praised the Lord, 
because the foundation of the 
house of the Lord was laid. 

12 But many of the priests and 
Levites, and chief of the fathers, 
who were ancient men, that had 
seen the first house, when the 
foundation of this house was laid 
before their eyes, wept with a loud 
voice; and many shouted aloud 
for joy: 

13 So that the people could not 
discern the noise of the shout of 
joy from the noise of the weeping of 
the people: for the people shouted 
with a loud shout, and the noise 
was heard afar off.

up hither. 

3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, 
and the rest of the chief of the 
fathers of Israel, said unto them, 
Ye "have nothing to do with us to 
build an house unto our God; but 
we ourselves together will build 
unto the Lord God of Israel, d as 
king Cyrus the king of Persia hath 
commanded us. 

4 Then 6 the people of the land 
weakened the hands of the people 
of Judah, and troubled them in 
building, 

5 And hired counsellors against 
them, to frustrate their purpose, 
all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, 
even until the reign of Darius king 
of Persia. 

6 And in the reign of 2 Ahasuerus, 
in the beginning of his reign, wrote 
they unto him an accusation against 
the inhabitants of Judah and 
Jerusalem. 

7 And in the days of Artaxerxes 
wrote 3 Bishlam, Mithredath, Ta- 
beel, and the rest of their 4 com- 
panions, unto Artaxerxes king of 
Persia; and the writing of the letter 
was written in the Syrian tongue, 
and interpreted in the Syrian 
tongue. 

8 Kehum the chancellor and 
Shimshai the 5 scribe wrote a letter

king, that if this city be builded, 
and the walls set up again, then 
will they not 10 pay.?' toll, tribute, 
and custom, and so thou shalt en- 
damage the n revenue of the kings. 

14 Now because 12 we have main- 
tenance from the king's palace, and 
it was not meet for us to see the 
king's dishonour, therefore have 
we sent and certified the king, 

15 That search may be made in 
the book of the records of thy 
fathers: so shalt thou find in the 
book of the records, and know, 
that this city is a rebellious city, 
and k hurtful unto kings and pro- 
vinces, and that they have 13 moved 
sedition u within the same of old 
time: for which cause was this city 
destroyed. 

16 We certify the king, that if 
this city be builded again, and the 
walls thereof set up, by this means 
thou shalt have no portion on this 
side the river. 

17 f Then sent the king an an- 
swer unto Kehum the chancellor, 
and to Shimshai the scribe, and to 
the rest of their 15 companions that 
dwell in Samaria, and unto the 
rest beyond the river, Peace, and 
at such a time. 

18 The letter which ye sent unto 
us hath been plainly read before me. 

19 And 16 1 commanded, and 
search hath been made, and it is 
found that this city of old time 
hath 17 made insurrection against 
kings, and that rebellion and sedi- 
tion have been made therein. 

20 There have been mighty kings 
also over Jerusalem, which have 
ruled l over all countries m beyond 
the river; and toll, tribute, and 
custom, was paid unto them. 

21 18 Give ye now commandment 
to cause these men to cease, and 
that this city be not builded, until 
another commandment shall be 
given from me. 

22 Take heed now that ye fail 
not to do this: why should damage 
grow to the hurt of the kings? 

23 f Now when the copy of king 
Artaxerxes' letter was read before 
Eehum, and Shimshai the scribe, 
and their companions, they went 
up in n haste to Jerusalem unto 
the Jews, and made them to cease 
19 by force and power. 

24 Then ceased the work of the 
house of God which is at Jerusa- 
lem. So it ceased unto ° the sec- 
ond year of the reign of Darius 
king of Persia.

concerning the temple. 



CHAPTER V. 

Zerubbabel and Jeshua set forward the 
building of the temple in the reign of 
Darius. 

THEN" the prophets, "Haggai 
the prophet, and 6 Zechariah 
the son of Iddo, prophesied unto 
the Jews that were in Judah and 
Jerusalem in the name of the God 
of Israel, even unto them. 

2 Then rose up c Zerubbabel the 
son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the 
son of Jozadak, and began to 
build the house of God which is at 
Jerusalem: and with them were 
the prophets of God d helping them. 

3 f At the same time came to 
them e Tatnai, governor on 1 this 
side the river, and Shethar-boznai, 
and their companions, and said 
thus unto them, Who hath com- 
manded you to build this house, 
and to make up this wall? 

4 Then said we unto them after 
this manner, What are the names 
of the men 2 that make this build- 
ing? 

5 But / the eye of their God was 
upon the elders of the Jews, that 
they could not cause them to 
cease, till the matter came to 
Darius: and then they 9 returned 
answer by letter concerning this 
matter.

his companions the Apharsach- 
ites, which were on this side the 
river, sent unto Darius the king: 

7 They sent a letter unto him, 
3 wherein was written thus; Unto 
Darius the king, all peace. 

8 Be it known unto the king, 
that we went into the province of 
Judea, to the house of the great 
God, which is builded with 4 great 
stones, and timber is laid in the 
walls, and this work goeth fast 
on, and prospereth in their 
hands. 

9 Then asked we those elders, 
and said unto them thus, Who 
commanded you to build this 
house, and to make up these 
walls? 

10 We asked their names also, to 
certify thee, that we might write 
the names of the men that were the 
chief of them. 

11 And thus they returned us 
answer, saying, We are the * ser- 
vants of the God of heaven and 
earth, and build the house that 
was builded these many years ago,

which a great king of Israel builded 
and i set up. 

12 But * after that our fathers had 
provoked the God of heaven unto 
wrath, he gave them into the 
hand of l Nebuchadnezzar the 
king of Babylon, the Chaldean, 
who destroyed this house, and 
carried the people away into Baby- 
lon. 

13 But in the first year of m Cyrus 
the king of Babylon, the same king 
Cyrus made a decree to build this 
house of God. 

14 And n the vessels also of gold 
and silver of the house of God, 
which Nebuchadnezzar took out 
of the temple that was in Jerusa- 
lem, and brought them into the 
temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus 
the king take out of the temple of 
Babylon, and they were delivered 
unto one, ° whose name was Shesh- 
bazzar, whom he had made 5 gov- 
ernor; 

15 And said unto him, Take these 
vessels, go, carry them into the 
temple that is in Jerusalem, and 
let the house of God be builded in 
his place. 

16 Then came the same Shesh- 
bazzar, and laid p the foundation 
of the house of God which is in 
Jerusalem: and since that time 
even until now hath it been in 
building, and yet q it is not finished. 

17 Now therefore, if it seem good 
to the king, r let there be search 
made in the lung's treasure house, 
which is there at Babylon, 
whether it be so, that a decree was 
made of Cyrus the king to build 
this house of God at Jerusalem, 
and let the king send his pleasure 
to us concerning this matter. 

CHAPTER VL 

1 Darius' decree for advancing the build- 
ing. 13 The temple finished. 16 Feasts 
of the dedication, 19 and of the passover. 

THEN Darius the king made a 
decree, and a search was made 
in the house of the x rolls, where 
the treasures were 2 laid up in 
Babylon. 

2 And there was found at 3 Ach- 
metha, in the palace that is in the 
province of the Medes, a roll, and 
therein was a record thus written: 

3 In the first year of Cyrus the 
king, the same Cyrus the king made 
a decree concerning the house of 
God at Jerusalem, Let the house 
be builded, the place where they 
offered sacrifices, and let the foun- 
dations thereof be strongly laid; 



Darius advanceth the building.

The temple finish&i. 



the height thereof threescore cu- 
bits, and the breadth thereof three- 
score cubits; 

4 With 6 three rows of great stones, 
and a row of new timber: and c let 
the expences be given out of the 
king's house: 

5 And also let d the golden and 
silver vessels of the house of God, 
which Nebuchadnezzar took forth 
out of the temple which is at 
Jerusalem, and brought unto 
Babylon, be restored, and 4 brought 
again unto the temple which is 
at Jerusalem, every one to his place, 
and place them in the house of God, 

6 Now e therefore, Tatnai, gover- 
nor beyond the river, Shethar- 
boznai, and 5 your companions 
the Apharsachites, which are be- 
yond the liver, be ye far from 
thence: 

7 Let the work of this house of 
God alone; let the governor of the 
Jews, and the elders of the Jews, 

! build this house of God in his 
place. 

8 Moreover 6 1 make a decree what 
ye shall do to the elders of these 
Jews for the building of this house 
of God; that of the king's goods, 
even of the tribute beyond the river, 
forthwith expences be given unto 
these men, that they be not 7 hin- 
dered. 

9 And that which they have need 
of, both young bullocks, and rams, 
and lambs, for the burnt offerings 
of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, 
wine, and oil, according to the 
appointment of the priests which 
are at Jerusalem, let it be given 
them day by day without fail: 

10 That / they may offer sacrifices 
8 of sweet savours unto the God of 
heaven, and pray 9 for the life of 
the king, and of his sons. 

11 Also I have made a decree, 
that whosoever sh all alter this word , 
let timber be pulled down from his 
house, and, being set up, 9 let him 
be hanged thereon; ft and let his 
house be made a dunghill for this. 

12 And the God that hath caused 
his name * to dwell there destroy 
all kings and people that shall put 
to their hand to alter and to destroy 
this house of God which is at 
Jerusalem. I Darius have made a 
decree; let it be done with speed. 

13 % Then Tatnai, governor on

that which Darius the king had 
sent, so they i did speedily.

15 And this house was finished

of the reign of Darius the king. 

16 ^f And the children of Israel, 
the priests, and the Levites, and

captivity, kept ° the dedication of 
this house of God with joy,

of this house of God an hundred 
bullocks, two hundred rams, four 
hundred lambs; and for a sin

goats, according to the number of 
the tribes of Israel. 

18 And they set the priests in

in their r courses, for the service of 
God, which is at Jerusalem; 12 as 
it is written in the book of 
Moses. 

19 ^f And the children of the cap- 
tivity kept the passover s upon the 
fourteenth day of the first month. 

20 For the priests and the Levites 
were purified * together, all of them 
were pure, and M killed the passover 
for all the children of the captivity, 
and for their brethren the priests, 
and for themselves. 

21 And the children of Israel, 
which were come again out of 
captivity, and all such as had 
separated v themselves unto them 
from the filthiness of the heathen 
of the land, to seek the Lord God 
of Israel, did eat, 

22 And kept the " feast of un- 
leavened bread seven days with 
joy: for the Lord had made them 
joyful, and x turned the heart of 
the king of Assyria unto them, to 
strengthen their hands in the work 
of the house of God, the God of 
Israel. 

CHAPTER Vn. 

1 Ezra goes up to Jerusalem. 11 Gracious 
commission of Artaxerxes. 27 Ezra 
blesses God for this favour. 

NOW after these things, in the 
reign of J Artaxerxes king of 
Persia, Ezra * the son of Seraiah, 
the son of Azariah, the son of 
Hilkiah, 



The gracious commission 



EZRA, VII. 



of Artaxerxes to Ezra. 



2 The son of Shallum, the son of 
Zadok, the son of Ahitub, 

3 The son of Amariah, the son of 
Azariah, the son of Meraioth, 

4 The son of Zerahiah, the son of 
Uzzi, the son of Bukki, 

5 The son of Abishua, the son of 
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the 
son of Aaron the chief priest: 

6 This Ezra went up from Baby- 
lon; and he was a ready scribe in 
the law of Moses, which the Lord 
God of Israel had given: and the 
king granted him all his request, 
according 6 to the hand of the 
Lord his God upon him. 

7 And c there went up some of the 
children of Israel, and of the 
priests, and the Levites, and the 
singers, and the porters, and the 
Nethinims, d unto Jerusalem, in 
the seventh year of Ai'taxerxes the 
king. 

8 And he came to Jerusalem in 
the fifth month, which was in the 
seventh year of the king. 

9 For upon the first day of the 
first month 2 began he to go up 
from Babylon, and on the first day 
of the fifth month came he to 
Jerusalem, 6 according to the good 
hand of his God upon him. 

10 For Ezra had prepared his 
heart to seek / the law of the Lord, 
and to do it, and to 9 teach in Is- 
rael statutes and judgments. 

11 if Now this is the copy of the let- 
ter that the king Artaxerxes gave 
unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, 
even a scribe of the words of the 
commandments of the Lord, and 
of his statutes to Israel. 

12 Artaxerxes, A king of kings, 

j 3 unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of 
j the law of the God of heaven, 
| perfect peace, * and at such a 
time. 

13 I make a decree, that all they 
of the people of Israel, and of his 
priests and Levites, in my realm, 
which are minded of their own free 
will to go up to Jerusalem, go with 
thee. 

14 Forasmuch as thou art sent 
4 of the king, and of his &' seven 
counsellors, to enquire concerning 
Judah and Jerusalem, according to 
the law of thy God which is in 
thine hand; 

15 And to carry the silver and 
gold, which the king and his coun- 
sellors have freely offered unto the 
God of Israel, k whose habitation 
is in Jerusalem,

17 That thou mayest buy speedily

18 And whatsoever shall seem

21 And I, even I Artaxerxes the 
king, do make a decree to ah q the 
treasurers which are beyond the 
river, that whatsoever Ezra the 
priest, the scribe of the law of the 
God of heaven, shall require of you, 
it be done speedily, 

22 Unto an hundred talents of 
silver, and to an hundred 5 meas- 
ures of wheat, and to an hundred 
baths of wine, and to an hundred 
baths of oil, and salt without pre- 
scribing how much 

23 6 Whatsoever is commanded 
by the God of heaven, let it be 
diligently done for the house of 
the God of heaven: r for why should 
there be wrath against the realm 
of the king and his sons? 

24 Also, we certify you, that, 
touching any of the priests and 
Levites, singers, porters, Nethin- 
ims, or ministers of this house of 
God, it shall not be lawful to im- 
pose toll, tribute, or custom, upon 
them. 

25 And thou, Ezra, after the wis- 
dom of thy God that is in thine 
hand, 5 set magistrates and judges, 
which may judge all the people 
that are beyond the river, all such 
as know the laws of thy God; and 
teach f ye them that know them 
not. 

26 And whosoever will not do the 
law of thy God, and the law of the 
king, let judgment be executed 
speedily upon him, whether it be 
unto death, or 7 to banishment, or

27 % Blessed w be the Lord God of 
our fathers, * which hath put such 
a thing as this in the king's heart, 
to beautify the house of the Lord 
which is in Jerusalem; 

28 And w hath extended mercy 
unto me before the king, and his 
counsellors, and before all the 
king's mighty princes: and I was 
strengthened as x the hand of the 
Lord my God was upon me; and 
I gathered together out of Israel 
chief men to go up with me.

15 "% And I gathered them to- 
gether to the river d that runneth 
to Ahava; and there 3 abode we 
in tents three days: and I viewed 
the e people and the priests, and 
found there none of the / sons of 
Levi. 

16 Then sent I for Eliezer, for 
Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elna- 
than, and for Jarib, and for Elna- 
than, and for Nathan, and for 
Zechariah, and for Meshullani, 
chief men; also for Joiarib, and for 
Elnathan, men of understanding. 

17 And I sent them with com- 
mandment unto Iddo the chief 
at the place Casiphia, and 4 I toid 
them what they should say unto 
Iddo, and to his brethren the Ne- 
thinims, at the place Casiphia, that 
they should bring unto us ministers 
for the house of our God. 

18 And, by the 9 good hand of our 
God upon us, they h brought us a 
man of understanding, of the sons 
of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son 
of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his 
sons and his brethren, eighteen; 

19 And Hashabiah, and with him 
Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his 
brethren, and their sons, twenty; 

20 Also * of the Nethinims, whom 
David and the princes had ap- 
pointed for the service of the Le- 
vites, two hundred and twenty 
Nethinims: all of them were ex- 
pressed by name. 

21 ^ Then I $ proclaimed a fast 
there, at the river of Ahava, that 
we might k afflict ourselves before 
our God, to seek of him a right 
way l for us, and for our little ones, 
and for all our substance. 

22 For I m was ashamed to require 
of the king a band of soldiers and 
horsemen to help us against the 
enemy in the way: because we had 
spoken unto the king, saying, The 
hand n of our God is upon all them 
for ° good that seek him; but his 
power and his wrath is p against 
all them q that forsake him. 

23 So we fasted, and besought our 
God for this; and he was r entreated 
of us. 

24 % Then I separated twelve of 
the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, 
Hashabiah, and ten of their breth- 
ren with them, 

25 And weighed unto them 5 the 
silver, and the gold, and the ves- 
sels, even the offering of the house

of our God, which the king, and his 
counsellors, and his lords, and all 
Israel there present, had offered: 

26 I even weighed unto their 
hand six hundred and fifty talents 
of silver, and silver vessels an hun- 
dred talents, and of gold an hun- 
dred talents; 

27 Also twenty basins of gold of a 
thousand drams; and two vessels 
of 5 fine copper, 6 precious as gold. 

28 And I said unto them, Ye are

are u holy also; and the silver 
and the gold are a free-will offer- 
ing unto the Lord God of your 
fathers. 

29 ( Watch v ye, and keep them, 
until ye weigh them before the 
chief of the priests and the Levites, 
and chief of the fathers of Israel, 
at Jerusalem, in the chambers of 
the house of the Lord. 

30 So took the priests and the 
Levites the weight of the silver, 
and the gold, and the vessels, to 
biing them to Jerusalem, unto the 
house of our God. 

31 ^ Then we departed from the 
river of Ahavaon the twelfth day 
of the first month, to go unto Jer- 
usalem: and w the hand of our God 
was upon us, and he delivered us 
from the hand of the enemy, and 
of such as lay in wait by the way. 

32 And we x came to Jerusalem, 
and abode there three days. 

33 ^ Now on the fourth day was 
the silver and the gold and the 
vessels weighed in the house of 
our God by the hand of Meremoth 
the son of Uriah the priest; and 
with him was Eleazar the son of 
Phinehas; and with them was Jo- 
zabad the son of Jeshua, and Noa- 
diah the son of Binnui, Levites; 

34 By number and by weight of 
every one: and all the weight was 
written at that time. 

So Also the children of those that 
had been carried away, which 
were come out of the captivity, 
offered y burnt offerings unto the 
God of Israel, twelve bullocks for 
all Israel, ninety and six rams, 
seventy and seven lambs, twelve 
he-goats for a sin offering: all this 
was a burnt offering unto the 
Lord. 

36 And they delivered the king's 
commissions * unto the king's 
lieutenants, and to the governors 
on this side the river; and they 
furthered a the people, and the 
house of God.

CHAPTER IX. 

1 Ezra mourns for tlie affinity of the peo- 
ple with strangers. 5 and prays to God. 

NOW when these things were 
done, the princes came to me, 
saying, The people of Israel, and 
the priests, and the Levites, have 
not a separated themselves from 
the people of the lands, b doing 
according to their abominations, 
even of the Canaanites, the Hit- 
tites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, 
the Ammonites, the Moabites, the 
Egyptians, and the Amorites. 

2 For they have c taken of their 
daughters for themselves, and for 
their sons; so that the d holy seed 
have 6 mingled themselves with 
the people of those lands: yea, the 
hand of the princes and rulers 
hath been chief in this trespass. 

3 And when I heard this thing, 
I /rent my garment and my man- 
tle, and plucked off the hah: of my 
head and of my beard, and sat 
down 9 astonied. 

4 Then were assembled unto me 
every one that h trembled at the 
words of the God of Israel, because 
of the transgression of those that 
had been carried away; and I sat 
astonied until the » evening sacri- 
fice. 

5 ^| And at the evening sacrifice 
I arose up from my 1 heaviness; 
and, having rent my garment and 
my mantle, I fell upon my knees, 
and spread i out my hands unto 
the Lord my God, 

6 And said, my God, I k am 
ashamed and blush to lift up my 
face to thee, my God: for our 
iniquities are increased over our 
head, and our 2 trespass is grown 
up unto the heavens. 

7 Since the days of our fathers 
have l we been in a great trespass 
unto this day; and for our iniqui- 
ties m have we, our kings, and our 
priests, been delivered into the 
hand of the kings of the lands, to 
the sword, to captivity, and to a 
spoil, and to confusion of face, as 
it is this day. 

8 And now for a 3 little space 
grace hath been showed from the 
Lord our God, to leave us a rem- 
nant to escape, and to give us 4 a 
nail in his holy place, that our 
God may n lighten our eyes, and 
give us a little reviving in our 
bondage. 

9 For ° we were bondmen; p yet 
our God hath not forsaken us in 
our bondage, but hath q extended

mercy unto us in the sight of the 
kings of Persia, to give us a reviv- 
ing, to set up the house of our 
God, and 6 to repair the desola- 
tions thereof, and to give us r a 
wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. 

10 And now, our God, what 
shall we say after this? for we have 
forsaken thy commandments, 

11 Which thou hast commanded 
6 by thy servants the prophets, 
raying, The land, unto which ye 
go to possess it, is an unclean land 
with the filthiness of the people 
of the lands, with their abomina- 
tions, which have filled it 7 from 
one end to another with their un- 
cleanness. 

12 Now therefore s give not your 
daughters unto their sons, neither 
take their daughters unto your 
sons, * nor seek their peace or their 
wealth for ever: that ye may be 
strong, and eat the good of the 
land, and u leave it for an inherit- 
ance to your children for ever. 

13 And after all that is come 
upon us for our evil deeds, and for 
our great trespass, seeing that thou 
our God 8 hast punished us less 
than our iniquities deserve, and 
hast given us such deliverance as 
this; 

14 Should we v again break thy 
commandments, and "'join in 
affinity with the people of these 
abominations, wouldest not thou 
be angry with us till thou hadst 
consumed us, so that there should 
be no remnant nor escaping? 

15 O Lord God of Israel, x thou 
art righteous; for we remain yet 
escaped, as it is this day: behold, 
we are y before thee in our tres- 
passes; for we cannot * stand be- 
fore thee because of this. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Ezra reforms the strange marriages. 
18 Those that had taken strange wives. 

NOW a when Ezra had prayed, 
and when he had confessed, 
weeping and casting himself down 
before 6 the house of God, there 
assembled unto him out of Israel 
a very great congregation of men 
and women and children: for the 
people 1 wept very sore. 
2 And Shechaniah the son of 
Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, 
answered and said unto Ezra, We 
have c trespassed against our God, 
and have taken strange wives of 
the people of the land: yet .now 
there is hope in Israel concerning 
this thing.

3 Now therefore let us make a 
covenant with our God 2 to put 
away all the wives, and such as 
are born of them, according to the 
counsel of my lord, and of those 
that d tremble e at the command- 
ment of our God; and let it be 
done according to the law. 

4 Arise; for this matter " 
unto thee: we also will be with 
thee: t be of good courage, and do 
it. 

5 Then arose Ezra, and made 
the chief priests, the Levites, and 
all Israel, 9 to swear that they 
should do according to this word. 
And they sware. 

6 Then Ezra rose up from before 
the house of God, and went into 
the chamber of Johanan the son of 
Eliashib: and when he came 
thither, he h did eat no bread, nor 
drink water: for he mourned be- 
cause of the transgression of them 
that had been carried away. 

7 And they made proclamation 
throughout Judah and Jerusalem 
unto all the children of the cap- 
tivity, that they should gather 
themselves together unto Jerusa- 
lem; 

8 And that whosoever would not 
come within three days, according 
to the counsel of the princes and 
the elders, all his substance should 
be 3 forfeited, and himself separa- 
ted from the congregation of those 
that had been carried away. 

9 <H Then all the men of Judah 
and Benjamin gathered them- 
selves together unto Jerusalem 
within three days. It was the 
ninth month, and the twentieth 
day of the month; and * all the 
people sat in the street of the 
house of God, trembling because 
of this matter, and for 4 the great 
rain. 

10 And Ezra the priest stood up, 
and said unto them, Ye have 
transgressed, and s have taken 
strange wives, to increase the' tres- 
pass of Israel. 

11 Now therefore^* make confes- 
sion unto the Lord God of your 
fathers, and * do his pleasure; and 
separate yourselves from the peo- 
ple of the land, and from the 
strange wives. 

12 Then all the congregation 
answered and said with a loud 
voice, As thou hast said, so must 
we do. 

13 But the people are many, and 
it is a time of much, rain, and we

from the strange wives. 



are not able to stand without, 
neither is this a work of one day or 
two: for 6 we are many that have 
transgressed in this thing. 

14 Let now onr rulers of all the 
congregation stand, and let all 
them which have taken strange 
wives in our cities come at ap- 
pointed times, and with them the 
elders of every city, and the judges 
thereof, until the l fierce wrath of 
our God 7 for this matter be turned 
from us. 

15 Only Jonathan the son of 
Asahel and Jahaziah the son of 
Tikvah b were employed about 
this matter; and Meshullam and 
Shabbethai the Levite helped 
them. 

16 And the children of the cap- 
tivity did so. And Ezra the priest, 
with certain chief of the fathers, 
after the house of their fathers, and 
all of them by their names, were 
separated, and sat down in the 
first day of the tenth month to 
examine the matter. 

17 And they made an end with 
all the men that had taken strange 
wives by the first day of the first 
month. 

18 % And among the sons of the 
priests there were found that had 
taken strange wives; namely, of the 
sons of m Jeshua the son of Jozadak, 
and his brethren; Maaseiah, and 
Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. 

19 And they n gave their hands 
that they would put away their 
wives; and, ° being guiltj*, they of- 
fered a ram of the flock for their 
trespass. 

20 And of the sons of Irnmer; 
Hanani and Zebadiah. 

21 And of the sons of Harim; 
Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shema- 
iah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah. 

22 And of the sons of Pashur; 
Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Ne- 
thaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah. 

23 Also of the Levites; Jozabad, 
and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the 
same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, 
and Eliezer.

BOOK OF NEHEMIAH. 



CHAPTER I. 

J Nehemiah, understanding byHanani the 
afflicted state of Jerusalem, mourns, 
fasts, and prays; ± his prayer. 

THE words of a Nehemiah the 
son of Hachaliah. And it 
came to pass in the month Chisleu, 
in the h twentieth year, as I was in 
Shushan c the palace, 

2 That Hanani, one of my breth- 
ren, came, he and certain men of 
Judah; and I asked them concern- 
ing the Jews that had escaped, 
which were left of the captivity, 
and concerning Jerusalem. 

3 And they said unto me, The 
remnant that are left of the cap- 
tivity there in the province are in 
great affliction and reproach: d the 
wall of Jerusalem also e is broken 
down, and the gates thereof are 
burnt with fire. 

4 % And it came to pass, when I 
heard these words, that 1 sat down 
and wept, and mourned certain 
days, and fasted, and prayed before 
the God of heaven, 

5 And said, I beseech thee, / 
Lord God of heaven, the great and 
terrible God, 9 that keepeth cove- 
nant and mercy for them that love 
him and observe his command- 
ments: 

6 Let thine ear now be attentive, 
and thine h eyes open, that thou 
mayest hear the prayer of thy ser- 
vant, which I pray before thee 
now, day and night, for the chil- 
dren of Israel thy servants, and 
confess f the sins of the children 
of Israel, which we have sinned 
against thee: both I and myfather's 
house have sinned. 

7 We i have dealt very corruptly 
against thee, and have * not kept 
the commandments, nor the stat- 
utes, nor the judgments, which 
thou commandedst thy servant 



8 Remember, I beseech thee, the 
word that thou commandedst thy 
servant Moses, saying, If l ye trans- 
gress, I will scatter you abroad 
among the nations: 

9 But m if ye turn unto me, and 
keep my commandments, and do 
them, n though there were of you 
cast out unto the uttermost part of 
the heaven, yet will I gather them 
from thence, and will bring them

10 Now ° these are thy servants

CHAPTER H. 

Artaxerxes, understanding the cause of 
Nehemiah' s sadness, sends him with let- 
ters and a commission to build again the 
wall of Jerusalem. 

AND it came to pass in the month 
Nisan, in the twentieth year 
of a Artaxerxes the king, that wine 
was before him: and l I took up 
the wine, and gave it unto the 
king. Now I had not been before- 
time sad in his presence. 

2 Wherefore the king said unto 
me, Why is thy countenance sad, 
seeing thou art not sick? this is 
nothing else but c sorrow of heart 
Then I was very sore afraid, 

3 And said unto the king, d Let 
the king live for ever: why should 
not my countenance be sad, when 
the 6 city, the place of my fathers' 
sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates 
thereof are consumed with fire? 

4 Then the king said unto me, 
For what dost thou make request? 
So / 1 prayed to the God of heaven. 

5 And I said unto the king, If it 
please the king, and if thy servant 
have found favour in thy sight, 
that thou wouldest send me unto 
Judah, unto the city of my fathers' 
sepulchres, that I may build it. 

6 And the king said unto me, 
(the 1 queen also sitting by him,) 
For how long shall thy journey be? 
and when wilt thou return? So it 
pleased the king to send me; and 
I set him 9 a time. 

7 Moreover I said unto the king, 
If it please the king, let letters be 
given me to the governors beyond 
the river, that they may convey 
me over till I come into Judah; 

8 And a letter unto Asaph the 
keeper of the king's forest, that he

may give me timber to make beams 
for the gates of the palace which 
appertained h to the house, and for 
the wall of the city, and for the 
house that I shall enter into. And 
the king granted me, * according 
to the good hand of my God upon 
me. 

9 % Then I came to the governors 
beyond the river, and gave them 
the king's letters. Now the king 
had sent captains of the army and 
horsemen with me. 

10 When SanbaUat the 2 Horon- 
ite, and Tobiah the servant, the 
Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved 
them exceedingly that there was 
come a man to seek the welfare of 
the children of IsraeL 

11 % So I i came to Jerusalem, and 
was there three days. 

12 And I arose in the night, I 
and some few men with me; nei- 
ther told I any man what my God 
had put in my heart to do at 
Jerusalem: neither was there any 
beast with me, save the beast that 
I rode upon. 

13 And I went out by night 7c by 
the gate of the valley, even before 
the dragon well, and to the dung 
port, and viewed the walls of Jeru- 
salem, which were l broken down, 
and the gates thereof were con- 
sumed with fire. 

14 Then I went on to the m gate 
of the fountain, and to the king's 
pool: but there was no place for the 
beast that was under me to pass. 

15 Then went I up in the night 
by n the brook, and viewed the 
wall, and turned back, and entered 
by the gate of the valley, and so 
returned 

16 And the rulers knew not whi- 
ther I went, or what I did; neither 
had I as yet told it to the Jews, 
nor to the priests, nor to the no- 
bles, nor to the rulers, nor to the 
rest that did the work. 

17 Then said I unto them, Ye see 
the distress that we are in, how 
Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates 
thereof are burnt with fire: come, 
and let us build up the wall of 
Jerusalem, that we be no more ° a 
reproach. 

18 Then I told them of the hand 
of my God which was good upon 
me; as also the king's words that 
he had spoken unto me. And they 
said, Let us rise up and build. So 
they v strengthened their hands for 
this good work.

CHAPTER IV. 
1 While the enemies scoff, Nehemiah prays 
io God, and continues the worlc; 7 lie 
sets a watch. 

BUT it came to pass, a that when 
Sanballat heard that we 
builded the wall, he was wroth, 
and took great indignation, and 
mocked the Jews. 
2 And he spake before his breth- 
ren and the army of Samaria, and 
said, What do these feeble Jews? 



Malice of the Samaritans. 



NEHEMIAH, ffl. Nehemiah encourages the builders. 



will they 1 fortify themselves? will 
they sacrifice? will they make an 
end in a day? will they revive 
the stones out of the heaps of the 
rubbish which are burnt? 

3 Now b Tobiah the Ammonite 
was by him, and he said, Even 
that which they build, if a fox go 
up, he shall even break down their 
stone wall. 

4 Hear, c our God; for we are 
2 despised : and d turn their re- 
proach upon their own head, and 
give them for a prey in the land 
of captivity; 

5 And 6 cover not their iniquity, 
and let not their sin be blotted 
out from before thee: for they have 
provoked thee to anger before the 
builders. 

6 So built we the wall; and all 
the wall was joined together unto 
the half thereof: for the people had 
a mind to work. 

7 % But it came to pass, that when 
Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the 
Arabians, and the Ammonites, 
and the Ashdodites, heard that 
the walls of Jerusalem 3 were made 
up, and that the breaches began 
to be stopped, then they were very 
wroth, 

8 And /conspired all of them 
together to come and to fight 
against Jerusalem, and 4 to hinder 
it. 

9 Nevertheless 9 we made our 
prayer unto our God, and set a 
watch against them day and night, 
because of them. 

10 And Judah said, The strength 
of the bearers of burdens is de- 
cayed, and there is much rubbish; 
so that we are not able to build 
the wall. 

11 And our adversaries said, 
They shall not know, neither see, 
till we come in the midst among 
them, and slay them, and cause 
the work to cease. 

12 ^ And it came to pass, that 
when the Jews which dwelt by 
them came, they said unto us ten 
times, 6 From all places whence 
ye shall return unto us they will be 
upon you, 

13 Therefore set 1 6 in the lower 
places behind the wall, and on the 
Higher places, I even set the people 
after their families, with their 
swords, their spears, and their 
bows. 

14 And I looked, and rose up, 
and said unto the nobles, and to 
the rulers, and to the rest of the

people, A Be not ye afraid of them: 
remember the Lord, wUch * is 
great and terrible, and i fight for 
your brethren, your sons, and your 
daughters, your wives, and your 
houses. 

15 And it came to pass, when 
our enemies heard that it was 
known unto us, fc and God had 
brought their counsel to nought, 
that we returned all of us to the 
wall, every one unto his work. 

16 And it came to pass from that 
time forth, that the half of my ser- 
vants wrought in the work, and 
the other half of them held both 
the spears, the shields, and the 
bows, and the habergeons; and 
the rulers were behind all the house 
of Judah. 

17 They which builded on the 
wall, and they that bare burdens, 
with those that laded, every one 
with l one of his hands wrought 
in the work, and with the other 
hand held a weapon. 

18 For the builders, every one 
had his sword girded 7 by his side, 
and so builded: and he that sound- 
ed the trumpet was by me. 

19 And 1 said unto the nobles, 
and to the rulers, and to the rest 
of the people, The work is great 
and large, and we are separated 
upon the wall, one far from an- 
other. 

20 In what place therefore ye hear 
the sound of the trumpet, resort 
ye thither unto us: m our God shall 
fight for us. 

21 So we laboured in the work: 
and half of them held the spears 
from the rising of the morning till 
the stars appeared. 

22 Likewise at the same time 
said I unto the people, Let every 
one with his servant lodge within 
Jerusalem, that in the night they 
may be a guard to us, and labour 
on the day. 

23 So neither I, nor my brethren, 
nor my servants, nor the men of 
the guard which followed me, 
none of us put off our clothes, 
B saving that every one put them 
off for washing. 

CHAPTER V. 
1 The people complain of their debt, mort- 
gage, and bondage. 6 The usurers re- 
buked, etc. 

AND there was a great a cry of 
the people, and of their 
wives, against b their brethren the 
Jews. 



Nehemiah rebukes the nobles, 



NEHEMIAH, VI. 



and abolishes their usury. 



2 For there were that said, We, 
our sons, and our daughters, are 
many: therefore we c take up corn 
for them, that we may eat, and 
live. 

3 Some also there were that said, 
We have mortgaged our lands, 
vineyards, and houses, that we 
might huy corn, because of the 
dearth. 

4 There were also that said, We 
have borrowed money for the 
king's tribute, and that upon our 
lands and vineyards. 

5 Yet now d our flesh/s as the flesh 
of our brethren, our children as 
their children; and, lo, 6 we bring 
into bondage our sons and our 
daughters to be servants, and 
some of our daughters are brought 
unto bondage already: neither is it 
in our power to redeem them; for 
other men have our lands and 
vineyards. 

6 1f And I was very / angry when 
I heard their cry and these 
words. 

7 Then 1 1 consulted with myself, 
and 9 I rebuked the nobles, and 
the rulers, and said unto them, 
Ye h exact usury, every one of his 
brother. And I set * a great 
assembly against them. 

8 And I said unto them, We after 
our ability have i redeemed our 
brethren the Jews, which were 
sold unto the heathen; and will 
ye even sell your brethren? or 
shall they be sold unto us? Then 
held they their peace, and found 
nothing to answer. 

9 Also I said, It is not good that 
ye do: ought ye not to walk * in 
the fear of our God l because of the 
reproach of the heathen our ene- 
mies? 

10 I likewise, and my brethren, 
and my servants, might exact of 
them money and corn: I pray you, 
let us leave off this usury. 

11 Eestore, I pray you, to them, 
even this day, their lands, their 
vineyards, their oliveyards, and 
their houses, also the hundredth 
part of the money, and of the corn, 
the wine, and the oil, that ye exact 
of them. 

12 Then said they, We will re- 
store them, and will require no- 
thing of them; so will we do as 
thou sayest. Then I called the 
priests, m and took an oath of 
them, that they should do accord- 
ing to this promise.

said, So God ° shake out every

promise, even thus be he shaken 
out, and 2 emptied. And all the 
congregation said, Amen, and 
praised the Lord. p And the 
people did according to this pro- 
mise. 

14 % Moreover from the time that 
I was appointed to be their gov- 
ernor in the land of Judah, from 
the twentieth year q even unto the 
two and thirtieth year of Arta- 
xerxes the king, that is, twelve 
years, I and my brethren have not 
eaten the r bread of the governor. 

15 But the former governors that 
had been before me were chargeable 
unto the people, and had taken of 
them bread and wine, besides forty 
shekels of silver ; yea, even their 
servants bare rule over the people: 
but s so did not I, because of the 
fear * of God. 

16 Yea, also I continued in the 
work of this wall, neither bought 
we any land: and all my servants 
were gathered thither unto the 
work. 

17 Moreover there were w at my 
table an hundred and fifty of the 
Jews and rulers, besides those that 
came unto us from among the 
heathen that are about us. 

18 Now that v which was prepared 
for me daily was one ox, and six 
choice sheep; also fowls were pre- 
pared for me, and once in ten days 
store of all sorts of wine: yet for all 
this required not I the bread of the 
governor, because the bondage was 
heavy upon this people. 

19 Think w upon me, my God, for 
good, according to all that I have 
done for this people. 

CHAPTER VL 

1 Sanballat practises against Nehemiah 
by insidious attempts- 15 'The wall 
finished. 17 Secret intelligence between 
tJie enemies and the nobles of Judah. 

NOW it came to pass, "when 
Sanballat, and Tobiah, and 
1 Geshem the Arabian, and the 
rest of our enemies, heard that I 
had builded the wall, and that there 
was no breach left therein, ( 6 though 
at that time I had not set up the 
doors upon the gates,) 

2 That Sanballat and c Geshem 
sent unto me, saying, Come, let us 
meet together in some one of the 
villages in the plain d of Ono. But 
they e thought to do me mischief. 

3 And 1/ sent messengers unto

them, saying, I am doing a great 
work, so that I cannot come down: 
why should the work cease, whilst 
I leave it, and come down to you? 

4 Yet they sent unto me 9 four 
times after this sort; and I answered 
them after the same manner. 

5 1[ Then sent Sanballat his ser- 
vant unto me in like manner the 
fifth time with an open letter in 
his hand; 

6 "Wherein was written, It is h re- 
ported among the heathen, and 
^ Gashmu saith it, that * thou and 
the Jews think to rebel: for which 
cause thou buildest the wall, that 
thou mayest be then king, accor- 
ding to these words. 

7 And thou hast also appointed 
prophets to preach of thee at Jeru- 
salem, saying, There is a king in 
Judah: and now shall it be reported 
to the king according to these 
words. Come now therefore, and 
let us take counsel together. 

8 Then I sent unto him, saying, 
There are no such things done as 
thou sayest, butthou^' feignesttheni 
out of thine own heart. 

9 For they all made us afraid, 
saying, Their hands shall be weak- 
ened from the work, that it be not 
done. Now therefore, * God, 
strengthen my hands. 

10 ]\ Afterward I came unto the 
house of Shemaiah the son of Del- 
aiah the son of Mehetabeel, who 
was shut up; .and he said, Let l us 
meet together in the house of God, 
within the temple, and let us shut 
the doors of the temple: for they 
will come to slay thee; yea, in the 
night will they come to slay thee. 

11 And I said, Should m such a 
man as 1 flee? and who is there, 
that, being as I am, would go into 
the temple to save his life? I will 
not go in. 

12 And, lo, I perceived that God 
had not sent him; but that n he 
pronounced this prophecy against 
me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had 
hired him. 

13 Therefore was he hired, that I 
should be afraid, and do so, and 
sin, and that they might have mat- 
ter for an evil report, that they 
might reproach me. 

14 My ° God, think thou upon 
Tobiah and Sanballat according 
to these their works, and on the 
prophetess * Noadiah, and the rest 
of the prophets, that would have 
put me in fear.

about us saw these things, they were

sworn unto him, because he was 
the son-in-law of Shechaniah the 
son of Arah; and his son Johanan 
had taken the daughter of Meshul-

19 Also they reported his good 
deeds before me, and uttered my 
4 words to him. And Tobiah sent 
letters to put me in fear. 

CHAPTEE VII. 

Genealogy of those who came at the first 
out of Babylon. 

NOW it came to pass, when the 
wall a was built, and I had 
set h up the doors, and the porters 
and the singers and the Levites 
were appointed, 

2 That I gave my brother Hanani, 
and Hananiah the ruler c of the 
palace, charge over Jerusalem; for 
he was d a faithful man, and 
feared 6 God above many. 

3 And I said unto them, Let not 
the gates of Jerusalem be opened 
until the sun be hot; and while 
they stand by, let them shut the 
doors, and bar them: and appoint 
watches of the inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem, eveiy one in his watch, and 
every one to he over against his 
house. 

4 % Now the city was 1 large and 
great; but the people were few there- 
in, and the houses were not builded. 

5 And my / God put into mine 
heart to gather together the nobles, 
and the rulers, and the people, that 
they might be reckoned by gene- 
alogy: and I found 2 a register u 
the genealogy of them which came 
up at the first, and found written 
therein, 

6 These are the children of the 
province, that went up out of the 
captivity, of those that had been 
carried away, whom Nebuchad- 
nezzar the king of Babylon had 
carried away, and came again 
to Jerusalem and to Judah, every 
one unto his city;

73 So the priests, and the Levites, 
and the porters, and the singers, 
and some of the people, and the 
Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt 
in w their cities; " and when the 
seventh month came, the children 
of Israel were in their cities. 

CHAPTER VILL 

1 Religious manner of reading and hearing 
thelaio. 9 The people comforted. 16 They 
keep the feast of tabernacles. 

1 ND all a the people gathered 
Ix. themselves together as one 
man into the street that was b be- 
fore the water gate; and they spake 
unto Ezra the c scribe to bring the 
book d of the law of Moses, which 
the Lord had commanded to Israel. 

2 And Ezra the priest brought 
the e law before the congregation 
both / of men and women, and all 
1 that could hear with understand- 
ing, 9 upon the first day of the 
seventh month. 

3 And he read therein before the 
street that was before the water 
gate, 2 from the morning until 
mid- day > before the men and the 
women, and those that could un- 
derstand; and the ears of all the 
people were attentive unto the book 
of the law. 

4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon 
a 3 pulpit of wood, which they 
had made for the purpose; and 
beside him stood Mattithiah, and 
Shema, and Anaiah, and TJrijah, 
and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on 
his right hand; and on his left 
hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and 
Malchiah, and Hashum, and 
Hashbadana, Zechaiiah, and 
Meshullam. 

5 And Ezra opened the book in 
the, 4 sight of all the people; (for he 
was above all the people;) and 
when he opened it, all the people 
stood * up: 

6 And Ezra blessed the Lord, the 
great God: and all the people * an- 
swered, Amen, Amen, with 1 lift- 
ing up their hands : and k they 
bowed then heads, and worshipped 
the Lord with their faces to the 
ground. 

7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and 
Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shab- 
bethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, 
Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, 
and the Levites, * caused the peo- 
ple to understand the law: and the 
people stood in their place.

Prayer of the Levites. 



8 So they read in the book, in 
! the law of God, m distinctly, and 
■ gave the sense, and caused them to 
; understand the reading. 

9 1 And n Nehemiah, which is 
5 the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest 
the scribe, and ° the Levites that 
taught the people, said unto all 
the people, p This day is holy unto 
the Lord your God; q mourn not, 
nor weep. For all the people wept, 
when they heard the words of the 
law. 

I 10 Then he said unto them, Go 
your way, eat the fat, and drink 
the sweet, r and send portions unto 
them for whom nothing is pre- 

''■ pared: for this day is holy unto our 
Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the 
joy of the Lord is your strength. 

11 So the Levites stilled all the 
people, saying, Hold your peace, 
for the day is holy; neither be ye 
grieved. 

12 And all the people went their 
way to eat, and to drink, and to 
send portions, and to make great 
mirth, because they had under- 
stood the words that were declared 
unto them. 

13 ^f And on the second day were 
gathered together the chief of the 
lathers of all the people, the priests, 
and the Levites, unto Ezra the 
scribe; even 6 to understand the 
words of the law. 

14 And they found written in 
the law which the Lord had com- 
manded 7 by Moses, that the chil- 
dren of Israel should dwell * in 
booths in the feast of the seventh 
month: 

15 And that they should publish 
1 and proclaim in all their cities, 

and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth 
unto the mount, and fetch olive 
branches, and pine branches, 
and myrtle branches, and palm 
branches, and branches of thick 
trees, to make booths, as it is writ- 
ten. 

16 So the people went forth, and 
brought them, and made them- 

; selves booths, every one upon the 

J roof £ of his house, and in their 

courts, and in the courts of the 

house of God, and in the street of 

! the u water gate, " and in the 

street of the gate of Ephraim. 
: 17 And all the congregation of 
i them that were come again out of 
j the captivity made booths, and 
' sat under the booths: for since the 
' days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto 
t that day had not the children of

18 Also w day by day, from the 
first day unto the last day, he read 
in the book of the law of God. 
And they kept the feast seven 
days; and on the eighth day was 
8 a solemn assembly, z according 
unto the manner. 

CHAITER IX. 

1 A solemn fast, and repentance of the 
people. 4 The Levites confess God's 
manifold goodness, and their own wick- 
edness. 

^ T OW in the twenty and fourth 
^ day of this a month, the chil- 
dren of Israel were assembled with 
fasting, and with sackclothes, h and 
earth upon them. 

2 And c the seed of Israel sepa- 
rated themselves from all x stran- 
gers, and stood d and confessed 
their sins, and the iniquities of 
their fathers. 

3 And they stood up in their 
place, and read e in the book of 
the law of the Lord their God one 
fourth part of the day; and another 
fourth part they confessed, and 
worshipped the Lord their God. 

4 Then stood up upon the 2 stairs, 
of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, 
Kadmiel/Shebaniah, Bunni, She- 
rebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and 
cried with a loud voice unto the 
Lord their God. 

5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and 
Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, She- 
rebiah, Hodijab, Shebaniah, and 
Pethahiah, said, Stand up and 
bless the Lord your God for ever 
and ever; and blessed /be thy glo- 
rious name, which is exalted above 
all blessing and praise. 

6 Thou, 9 even thou, art Lord 
alone: h thou hast made heaven, 
the » heaven of heavens, with all 
their host, the earth, and all 
things that are therein, the seas, 
and all that is therein, and 3 thou, 
preservest them all; and the host 
of heaven worshippeth thee. 

7 Thou art the Lord the God, 
who didst choose * Abram, and 
broughtest him forth out of Ur of 
the Chaldees, and gavest him the 
name of Abraham: 

8 And foundest his heart faithful 
before thee, and madest a cove- 
nant with him, to give the land of 
the Canaanites, the Hittites, the 
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and 
the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, 
to give it, I say, to his seed, and 
hast l performed thy words; for 
thou art righteous: 



Confession of the Levites 



NEHEMIAH, IX. at the solemn fast of the people. 



9 And didst see the affliction of 
our fathers in Egypt, and heardest 
their cry by the Bed sea: 

10 And snowedst signs and won- 
ders upon Pharaoh, and on all his 
servants, and on all the people of 
his land; for thou knewest that 
they dealt proudly against them: 
so didst thou m get thee a name, 
as it is this day. 

11 And thou didst divide the sea 
before them, so that they went 
through the midst of the sea on 
the dry land; and their perse- 
cutors thou threwest into the 
deeps, as a stone into the mighty 
waters. 

12 Moreover thou n leddest them 
in the day by a cloudy pillar; and 
in the night by a pillar of fire, to 
give them light in the way where- 
in they should go. 

13 Thou earnest down also upon 
mount Sinai, and spakest with 
them from heaven, and gavest 
them ° right judgments, and 3 true 
laws, good statutes and command- 
ments: 

14 And madest known unto 
them thy holy ^sabbath, and com- 
mandedst them precepts, statutes, 
and laws, by the hand of Moses 
thy servant: 

15 And 8 gavest them bread from 
heaven for their hunger, and 
broughtest forth water for them 
out of the rock for their thirst, 
and promisedst them that they 
should r go in to possess the land 
4 which thou hadst sworn to give 
them. 

16 But they and our fathers 
dealt proudly, s and hardene d their 
necks, and hearkened not to thy 
commandments, 

17 And refused to obey, £ neither 
were mindful of thy wonders that 
thou didst among them; but har- 
dened their necks, and in their 
rebellion appointed w a captain to 
return to their bondage: but thou 
art 5 & God ready to pardon, * gra- 
cious and merciful, slow to anger, 
and of great kindness, andforsook- 
est them not. 

18 Yea, when they had made 
them a molten calf, and said, This 
■is thy god that brought thee up 
out of Egypt, and had wrought 
great provocations; 

19 Yet thou in thy w manifold 
mercies forsookest them not in 
the wilderness: the x pillar of the 
cloud departed not from them by 
day, to lead them in the way;

neither the pillar of fire by night, 
to show them light, and the way 
wherein they should go. 

20 Thou gavest also thy y good 
Spirit to instruct them, and with- 
heldest not thy manna from their 
mouth, and gavest them water for 
their thirst. 

21 Yea, forty years didst thou 
sustain them in the wilderness, so 
that they lacked nothing; z their 
clothes waxed not old, and their 
feet swelled not. 

22 Moreover thou gavest them 
kingdoms and nations, and didst 
divide them into corners: so they 
possessed the land of Sihon, and 
the land of the king of Heshbon, 
and the land of Og king of Bashan. 

23 Their ° children also multipli- 
edst thou as the stars of heaven, 
and broughtest them into the land 
concerning which thou hadst pro- 
mised to then fathers, that they 
should go in to possess it. 

24 So the children went in and 
possessed the land, and thou sub. 
duedst before them the inhabit- 
ants of the land, the Canaanites, 
and gavest them into their hands, 
with their kings, and the people 
of the land, that they might do 
with them 6 as they would. 

25 And they took strong cities, 
and a b fat land, and possessed 
houses c full of all goods, 7 wells 
digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, 
and 8 fruit trees in abundance: so 
they did eat, and were filled, 
and became d fat, and delighted 
themselves in thy e great good- 



26 Nevertheless they were diso- 
bedient, and rebelled against thee, 
and cast thy law behind then- 
backs, and slew thy /prophets 
which testified against them to 
turn them to thee; and they 
wrought great provocations. 

27 Therefore thou deliveredst 
them into the hand of their ene- 
mies, who vexed them: and in 
the time of their trouble, when 
they cried unto thee, thou heard- 
est them from heaven; and accord 
ing to thy manifold mercies thou 
gavest them saviours, who saved 
them out of the hand of their 
enemies. 

28 But after they had rest, 9 they 
did evil again before thee: there- 
fore leftest thou them in the hand 
of their enemies, so that they had 
the dominion over them: yet 
when they returned, and cried

The sealing of the covenant 



unto thee, thou heardest them from 
heaven; and many times didst 
thou deliver them according to 
thy mercies; 

29 And 9 testifiedst against them, 
that thou mightest bring them 
again unto thy law: yet they dealt 
proudly, and hearkened not unto 
thy commandments, but sinned 
against thy judgments, ( A which 
if a man do, he shall live in them.) 
and 10 withdrew the shoulder, and 
hardened their neck, and would 
not hear: 

30 Yet many years didst thou 
11 forbear them, and » testifiedst 
against them by thy Spirit n in 
thy prophets: yet would they not 
give ear : therefore gavest thou 
them into the hand of the people 
of the lands. 

31 Nevertheless for thy great 
mercies' sake •? thou didst not 
utterly consume them, nor forsake 
them; for thou art a gracious and 
merciful God. 

32 Now therefore, our God, the 
great, the mighty, and the terrible 
God, who keepest covenant and 
mercy, let not all the 13 trouble 
seem httle before thee u that hath 
come upon us, on our kings, on 
our princes, and on our priests, 
and on our prophets, and on our 
fathers, and on all thy people, 
since * the time of the kings of 
Assyria unto this day. 

33 Howbeit l thou art just in all 
that is brought upon us; for thou 
hast done right, but we have done 
wickedly: 

34 Neither have our kings, our 
princes, our priests, nor our fathers, 
kept thy law, nor hearkened unto 
thy commandments, and thy tes- 
timonies, wherewith thou didst 
testify against them. 

35 For they have not served thee 
in their kingdom, and in thy 
great goodness that thou gavest 
them, and in the large and fat 
land which thou gavest before 
them, neither turned they from 
their wicked works. 

36 Behold, m we are servants this 
day; and for the land that thou 
gavest unto our fathers to eat 
the fruit thereof and the good 
thereof, behold, we are servants in 
it: 

37 And n it yieldeth much increase 
unto the kings whom thou has: 
set over us because of our sins:

1 The rulers, voluntary men, and every 
tenth man chosen by lot, dwell at Jeru- 
salem: o their names. 20 The residue of 
the people dwell in other cities, 

AND the rulers of the people 
dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest 
of the people also cast lots, to bring 
one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem 
the a holy city, and nine parts to 
dwell in other cities. 

2 And the people blessed all the 
men that willingly 6 offered them- 
selves to dwell at Jerusalem. 

3 *fl Now c these are the chief of 
the province that dwelt in Jerusa- 
lem: but in the cities of Judah 
dwelt every one in his possession 
in their cities, to wit, Israel, the 
priests, and the Levites, and d the 
Nethinims, and e the children of 
Solomon's servants. 

4 And t at Jerusalem dwelt certain

the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, 
the son of Kolaiah, the son of Ma- 
aseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of

two: and Amashai the son of Aza- 
reel, the son of Ahasai, the son of 
Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, 

14 And their brethren, mighty 
men of valour, an hundred twenty 
and eight: and their overseer was

men. 

15 Also of the Levites: Shemaiah 
the son of Hashub, the son of Az- 
rikam, the son of Hashabiah, the 
son of Bunni; 

16 And Shabbethai and Joza- 
bad, of the chief of the Levites, 
3 had the oversight of * the 
outward business of the house of 
God. 

17 And Mattaniah the son of 
Micha, the son of >' Zabdi, the son 
of Asaph, was the principal to be- 
gin the thanksgiving in prayer: 
and Bakbukiah the second among 
his brethren, and Abda the son of 
Shammua, the son of Galal, the 
son of Jeduthun. 

18 All the Levites in the * holy 
city were two hundred fourscore 
and four. 

19 Moreover l the porters: Akkub, 
Talmon, and their brethren that 
kept * the gates, were an hundred 
seventy and two. 

20 f And the residue of Israel, of 
the priests and the Levites, were in 
all the cities of Judah, every one 
in his inheritance. 

21 But m the Nethinims dwelt in 

5 Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa were

22 The overseer also of the Le- 
vites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the 
son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, 
the son of Mattaniah, the son of 
Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the 
singers were over the business of 
the house of God. 

23 For n it was the king's com-

6 a certain portion should be for 
the singers, due for every day. 

24 And Pethahiah the son of 
Meshezabeel, of the children ° of

builded them villages round about 
Jerusalem. 

30 And the priests and the Le- 
vites m purified themselves, and 
purified the people, and the gates, 
and the wall. 

31 Then I brought up the princes 
of Judah upon the wall, and ap- 
pointed two great companies of them 
thai gave thanks, whereof one went 
on the right hand upon the wall 
toward n the dung gate: 

32 And after them wentHoshaiah, 
and half of the princes of Judah, 

33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Me- 
shullam, 

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and 
Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, 

35 And certain of the priests' sons 
with ° trumpets ; namely, Zecha- 
riah the son of Jonathan, the son 
of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah. 
the son of Michaiah, the son of 
Zaccur, the son of Asaph; 

36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, 
and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, 
Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, 
with p the musical instruments of 
David the man of God, and Ezra 
the scribe before them. 

37 And q at the fountain gate, 
which was over against them, they 
went up by r the stairs of the city 
of David, at the going up of the 
wall, above the house of David, 
even unto "the water gate east- 
ward. 

38 And the other company of them 
that gave thanks went over against 
them, and I after them, and the 
half of the people upon the wall, 
from beyond the l tower of the 
furnaces even unto u the broad wall; 

39 And v from above the gate of 
Ephraim, and above w the old 
gate, and above the fish gate, and 
the tower of Hananeel, and the 
tower of Meah, even unto the 
sheep gate: and they stood still in 
the x prison gate. 

40 So stood the two companies of 
them that gave y thanks in the house 
of God, and I, and the half of the 
rulers with me: 

41 And the priests; Eliakim, 
Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, 
Elioenai,Zechariah, and Hananiah, 
with trumpets; 

42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, 
and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jeho- 
hanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, 
and Ezer. And the singers u sang 
loud,with Jezrahiah their overseer. 

43 Also that day they offered 
great sacrifices, and rejoiced: s for 



Israel separated from strangers. NEHEMIAH, XIII. 



The temple service restored. 



God had made them rejoice with 
great joy: the wives also and the 
children rejoiced: so that the joy 
of Jerusalem was heard even afar 
off. 

44 f And a at that time were 
some appointed over the chambers 
for the treasures, for the offerings, 
for the first-fruits, and for the 
tithes, to gather into them, out of 
the fields of the cities, the portions 
12 of the law for the priests and 
Levites: 13 for Judah rejoiced for 
the priests and for the Levites 
24 that waited. 

45 And both the singers and the 
porters kept the ward of their God, 
and the ward of the purification, 
according 6 to the commandment 
of David, and of Solomon his son. 

46 For in the days of David and 
Asaph of old there were chief of the 
singers, and songs of praise and 
thanksgiving unto God. 

47 And all Israel in the days of 
Zerubbabel, and in the days of 
Nehemiah, gave the portions of 
the singers and the porters, every 
day his portion: and they 15 sanc- 
tified holy things unto the Levites; 
and the Levites sanctified them un- 
to the children of Aaron.

ON that day 1 they read in the 
hook of Moses in the 2 audience

found written, a that the Ammon- 
ite and the Moahite should not 
come into the congregation of God 
for ever; 

2 Because they met not the chil- 
dren of Israel with bread and with 
water, but hired h Balaam against 
them, that he should curse them: 
howbeit c our God turned the curse 
into a blessing.

separated from Israel all the mixed

commanded to be given to the Le- 
vites, and the singers, and the 
porters,) and the offerings of the 
priests. 

6 But in all this time was not I at 
Jerusalem : e for in the two and 
thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king 
of Babylon came I unto the king, 
and 5 after certain days 6 obtained 
I leave of the king: 

7 And I came to Jerusalem, and 
understood of the evil that Eliashib 
did for Tobiah, in preparing him 
a chamber in the courts of the 
house of God. 

8 And it grieved me sore: there- 
fore f\ cast forth all the household 
stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. 

9 Then I commanded, and they 
cleansed 9 the chambers ; and 
thither brought I again the vessels 
of the house of God, with the 
meat offering and the frankin- 
cense. 

10 If And I perceived that the 
portions of the Levites had h not 
been given them: for the Levites 
and the singers, that did the 
work, were fled every one to * his 
field. 

11 Then i contended I with the 
rulers, and said, k Why is the house 
of God forsaken? And I gathered 
them together, and set them in 
their 7 place. 

12 Then l brought all Judah the 
tithe of the corn, and the new 
wine, and the oil, unto the 8 treas- 
uries. 

13 And I made treasurers over 
the treasuries, Shelemiah the 
priest, and Zadok the scribe; and 
of the Levites, Pedaiah: and 9 next 
to them was Hanan the son of 
Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for 
they were counted m faithful; and 
10 their office was to distribute unto 
their brethren. 

14 Bemember " me, O my God, 
concerning this, and wipe not out 
my u good deeds that I have done 
for the house of my God, and for 
the 12 offices thereof. 

15 If In those days saw 1 in 
Judah some treading wine-presses 
on ° the sabbath, and bringing in 
sheaves, and lading asses; as also 
wine, grapes, and figs, and all 
manner of burdens, v which they 
brought into Jerusalem on the 
sabbath day: and I testified against 
them in the day wherein they sold 
victuals. 

16 There dwelt men of Tyre also 
therein, which brought fish, and

various abuses. 



all manner of ware, and sold on 
the sabbath unto the children of 
Judah, and in Jerusalem. 

17 Then I contended with the 
nobles of Judah, and said unto 
them, "What evil thing is this 
that ye do, and profane the sab- 
bath day? 

] 8 Did not your fathers thus, and 
did not our God bring all this evil 
upon us, and upon this city? yet 
ye 13 bring more wrath upon Israel 
by profaning the sabbath. 

19 And it came to pass, that 
when the gates of Jerusalem 9 be- 
gan to be dark before the sabbath, 
I commanded that the gates 
should be shut, and charged that 
they should not be opened till 
after the sabbath: r and some of my 
servants set I at the gates, that 
there should no burden be brought 
in on the sabbath day. 

20 So the merchants, and sellers 
of all land of ware, lodged without 
Jerusalem once or twice. 

21 Then I testified against them, 
and said unto them, Why lodge 
ye u about the wall? if ye do so 
again, I will lay hands on you. 
From that time forth came they 
no more on the sabbath. 

22 And I commanded the Levites 
that * they should cleanse them- 
selves, and that they should come 
and keep the gates, to sanctify the 
sabbath day. Kemember me, 
my God, concerning this also, and 
spare me according to the 15 great- 
ness of thy mercy. 

23 1 In those days also saw I 
Jews that 16 had married wives of 
Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:

24 And their children spake half 
in the speech of Ashdod, and 
17 could not speak in the Jews' 
language, but according to the 
language 18 of each people. 

25 And I * contended with them, 
and 19 cursed them, and M smote

among many nations was there

you to do all this great evil, to 
transgress y against our God in 
marrying strange wives? 

28 And one of the sons of " Joiada, 
the son of Eliashib the high priest, 
was son-in-law to Sanballat the 
Horonite: therefore I chased him 
from me. 

29 Remember a them, O my God, 
20 because they have defiled the 
priesthood, and the b covenant 
of the priesthood, and of the 
Levites. 

30 Thus c cleansed I them from

even unto Ethiopia, over a an hun- 
dred and seven and twenty pro- 
vinces,)

4 When he showed the riches of 
his glorious kingdom, and the 
honour of his excellent majesty, 
many days, even an hundred and 
fourscore days. 

5 And when these days were 
expired, the king made a feast

in the court of the garden of the 
king's palace; 

6 Where -were white, green, and 
2 blue hangings, fastened with 
cords of fine linen and purple to 
silver rings and pillars of marble: 
the "beds were of 'gold and silver, 
upon a pavement 3 of red, and 
blue, and white, and black mar- 
ble. 

7 And they gave them drink in 
vessels of gold, (the vessels being 
diverse one from another,) and 
4 royal wine in abundance, 5 ac- 
cording to the state of the king. 

8 And the drinking was according 
to the law; none did 6 compel: for 
so the king had appointed to all 
the officers of his house, that they 
should do according to every man's 
pleasure. 

9 Also Vashti the queen made a 
feast for the women in the royal 
house which belonged to king Ahas- 
uerus. 

10 % On the seventh day, when 
the heart of the king was merry 
with wine, he commanded Menu- 
man, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, 
and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, 
the seven 7 chamberlains that 
served in the presence of Ahas- 
uerus the king, 

11 To / bring Vashti the queen 
before the king With the crown 
royal, to show the people and the 

frinces her beauty: for she was 
fair to look on. 

12 But the queen Vashti refused 
to come at the king's command- 
ment 9 by his chamberlains: there- 
fore was the king very wroth, and 
his anger burned in him. 

13 H Then the king said to 9 the 
wise men, which h knew the times, 
(for so teas the king's manner to- 
ward all that knew law and judg- 
ment; 

14 And the next unto him was

shish, Meres, Marsena, and Memu- 
can, the * seven princes of Persia 
and Media, which saw the king's 
face, and which sat the first in the 
kingdom,) 

] 5 What 10 shall we do unto the 
queen Vashti acccording to law, 
because she hath not performed 
the commandment of the king 
Ahasuerus by the chamberlains? 

16 And Memucan answered be-

wrong to the king only, but also

be reported, The king Ahasuerus 
commanded Vashti the queen to

king and the princes; and the 
king did according to the word of 
Memucan: 

22 For he sent letters into all the 
king's provinces, k into every pro- 
vince according to the writing 
thereof, and to every people after

should bear { rule in his own house; 
and 16 that it should be published

ESTHER, II. 



Esther chosen to be queen. 



4 And let the maiden which 
pleaseth the king be queen instead 
of Vashti. And the thing pleased 
the king; and he did so. 

5 ^ Now in Shushan the palace 
there was a certain Jew, whose 
name was Mordecai, the son of 
Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of 
Kish, a Benjamite; 

6 Who c had been earned away 
from Jerusalem with the captivity 
which had been earned away with 
2 Jeconiah king of Judah, whom 
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Baby- 
lon had carried away. 

7 And he 3 brought up Hadassah, 
that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: 
for she had neither father nor 
mother, and the maid was 4 fair 
and beautiful; whom Mordecai, 
when her father and mother were 
dead, took for his own daughter. 

8 U" So it came to pass, when the 
king's commandment and his de- 
cree was heard, and when many 
maidens were gathered together 
unto Shushan the palace, to the 
custody of Hegai, that Esther was 
brought also unto the king's house, 
to the custody, of Hegai, keeper of 
the women. 

9 And the maiden pleased him, 
and she obtained kindness of him; 
and he speedily gave her her things 
for purification, with 5 such things 
as belonged to her, and seven 
maidens, zvhich were meet to be 
given her, out of the king's house: 
and 6 he preferred her and her 
maids unto the best place of the 
house of the women. 

10 Esther had not showed her 
people nor her kindred: for Mor- 
decai had charged her that she 
should d not show it. 

11 And Mordecai walked every 
day before the court of the women's 
house, 7 to know how Esther did, 
and what should become of her. 

12 1f Now when every maid's turn 
was come to go in to king Ahasu- 
erus, after that she had been twelve 
months, according to the manner 
of the women, (for so were the days 
of their purifications accomplished, 
to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, 
and six months with sweet odours, 
and with other things for the puri- 
fying of the women;) 

13 Then thus came every maiden 
unto the king; whatsoever she 
desired was given her to go with 
her out of the house of the women 
unto the king's house. 

14 In the evening she went, and

on the morrow she returned into 
the second house of the women, to 
the custody of Shaashgaz the king's 
chamberlain, which kept the con- 
cubines; she came in unto the 
king no more, except the king 
delighted in her, and that she 
were called by name. 

15 % Now when the turn of Esther, 
the daughter of Abihail the uncle 
of Mordecai, who had taken her 
for his daughter, was come to go 
in unto the king, she required no- 
thing but what Hegai the king's 
chamberlain, the keeper of the 
women, appointed. And Esther 
obtained e favour in the sight 
of all them that looked upon 
her. 

16 So Esther was taken unto king 
Ahasuerus into his house royal, in 
the / tenth month, which is the 
month Tebeth, in the seventh year 
of his reign. 

17 And the king loved Esther 
above all the women, and she ob- 
tained grace and 8 favour 9 in his 
sight more than all the virgins; so 
that he 9 set the royal crown upon 
her head, and made her queen in- 
stead of Vashti. 

18 Then the king h made a great 
feast unto all his princes and his 
servants, even Esther's feast; and he 
made a 10 release to the provinces, 
and gave gifts, according to the 
state of the king. 

19 And when the virgins were 
gathered together the second time, 
then Mordecai sat * in the king's 
gate. 

20 Esther had not yet showed her 
kindred nor her people, as Mor- 
decai had charged her: for Esther 
did the commandment of Morde- 
cai, like as when she was brought 
up with him. 

21 ^f In those days, while Mordecai 
sat in the king's gate, two of the 
king's chamberlains, n Bigthan 
and Teresh, of those which kept 
12 the door, were wroth, and sought 
to lay hand on the king Ahasu- 
erus. 

22 And the thing was known to 
Mordecai, who i told it unto Esther 
the queen; and Esther certified 
the king thereof in Mordecai's 
name. 

23 And when inquisition was 
made of the matter, it was found 
out; therefore they were k both 
hanged on a tree: and it was writ- 
ten in l the book of the Chronicles 
before the Mng.

to destroy the Jews. 



CHAPTER III. 
Haman, despised by Mordecai, seeks re- 
venge on all the Jews. 

AFTER these things did king 
Ahasuerus promote Haman 
the son of Hammedatha the a Aga- 
gite, and advanced him, and set 
his seat above all the princes that 
were with him. 

2 And all the king's servants, 
that were in b the king's gate, 
bowed, c and reverenced Haman ; 
for the king had so commanded 
concerning him : but d Mordecai 
bowed not, nor did him reverence. 

3 Then the king's servants, which 
were in the king's gate, said unto 
Mordecai, Why transgressest thou 
the king's commandment? 

4 Now it came to pass, when they 
spake daily unto him, and he 
hearkened not unto them, that 
they told Haman, to see whether 
Mordecai's matters would stand: 
for he had told them that he was a 
Jew. 

5 And when Haman saw that 
Mordecai bowed e not, nor did him 
reverence, then was Haman / full 
of wrath. 

6 And he thought scorn to lay 
hands on Mordecai alone; for they 
had showed him the people of Mor- 
decai: wherefore Haman 9 sought 
to destroy all the Jews that were 
throughout the whole kingdom of 
Ahasuerus, even the people of Mor- 
decai 

7 \ In the first month, that is, 
the month Nisan, in the twelfth 
year of king Ahasuerus, h they cast 
Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman 
from day to day, and from month 
to month, to the twelfth month, that 
is, the month Adar. 

8 ^[ And Haman said unto king 
Ahasuerus, There is a certain peo- 
ple scattered abroad, and dispersed 
among the people in all the pro- 
vinces of thy kingdom: and * their 
laws are diverse from ah people, 
neither keep they the king's laws: 
therefore it is not a for the king's 
profit to suffer them. 

9 If it please the king, let it be 
written 2 that they may be de- 
stroyed; and I will 3 pay ten thou- 
sand talents of silver to the hands 
of those that have the charge of 
the business, to bring it into the 
king's treasuries. 

10 And i the king took his * ring 
from his hand and gave it unto 
Haman the son of Hammedatha 
the Agagite, the Jews' 4 enemy.

11 And the king said unto Haman, 
The silver is given to thee, the 
people also, to do with them as it 
seemeth good to thee. 

12 Then l were the king's 5 scribes 
called on the thirteenth day of the 
first month, and there was written, 
according to all that Haman had 
commanded, unto the king's lieu- 
tenants, and to the governors that 
were over every province, and to 
the rulers of every people of every 
province according m to the writing 
thereof, and to every people after 
their language; "in the name of 
king Ahasuerus was it written, and 
sealed with the king's ring. 

13 And the letters were * sent by 
posts into all the king's provinces, 
to destroy, to kill, and to cause to 
perish, all Jews, both young and 
old, little children and women, 
in p one day, even upon the thir- 
teenth day of the twelfth month, 
which is the month Adar, and s to 
take the spoil of them for a prey. 

14 The r copy of the writing, for 
a commandment to be given in 
every province, was published unto 
all people, that they should be 
ready against that day. 

15 The posts went out, being 
hastened by the king's command- 
ment; and the decree was given in 
iShushan the palace. And the 
king and Haman s sat down to 
drink; but ' the city Shushan was 
perplexed. 

CHAPTER IT. 

1 Mordecai and the Jeius mo&rn. 15 Esther 

appoints a fast; her resolution, etc. 

TIT HEN Mordecai perceived all 
V V that was done, Mordecai rent 
his a clothes, and put on sackcloth 
with b ashes, and went out into the 
midst of the city, and c cried with 
a loud and a bitter cry; 

2 And came even before the king's 
gate: for none might enter into the 
king's gate clothed with sackcloth. 

3 And in every province, whither- 
soever the king's commandment 
and his decree came, there was 
great mourning among the Jews, 
and fasting, and weeping, and 
wailing; and 1 many lay in sack- 
cloth and ashes. 

4 f So Esther's maids and her 

2 chamberlains came and told it 
her. Then was the queen exceed- 
ingly grieved ; and she sent raiment 
to clothe Mordecai, and to take 
away his sackcloth from him; but 
he received it not. 

5 Then called Esther for Hatach,

ESTHER, V. SJie invites the king to a banquet. 



one of the king's chamberlains, 
3 whom he had appointed to attend 
upon her, and gave him a com- 
mandment to Mordecai, to know 
what it was, and why it was. 

6 So Hatach went forth to Morde- 
cai unto the street of the city, 
which was before the king's gate: 

7 And Mordecai told him of all 
that had happened unto him, and 
of d the sum of the money that 
Haman had promised to pay to 
the king's treasuries for the Jews, 
to destroy them: 

8 Also he gave him e the copy of 
the writing of the decree that was 
given at Shushan to destroy them, 
to show it unto Esther, and to 
declare it unto her, and to charge 
her that she should go in unto the 
king, to make / supplication unto 
him, and to make request before 
him for her people. 

9 And Hatach came and told 
Esther the words of Mordecai. 

10 If Again Esther spake unto 
Hatach, and gave him command- 
ment unto Mordecai; 

11 All the king's servants, and the 
people of the king's provinces, do 
know, that whosoever, whether 
man or woman, shall come unto 
the king into ° the inner court, 
who is not called, h there is one law 
of his to put him to death, < except 
such to whom the king shall hold 
out the golden sceptre, that he 
may live: but I have not been 
called to come in unto the king 
these thirty days. 

12 And they told to Mordecai 
Esther's words. 

13 Then Mordecai commanded 
to answer Esther, Think-?' not with 
thyself that thou shalt escape in 
the king's house more than all the 
Jews. 

14 For if thou altogether holdest 
thy peace at this time, then shall 
there 4 enlargement and k deliver- 
ance arise to the Jews from an- 
other place; but thou and thy 
father's house shall be destroyed: 
and who knoweth whether l thou 
art come to the kingdom for such 
a time as this? 

15 ^f Then Esther bade them re- 
turn Mordecai this answer; 

16 Go, gather together all the 
Jews that are 5 present in Shushan, 
and m fast ye for me, and neither 
eat nor drink n three days, night 
or day: I also and my maidens 
will fast likewise; and so will I go 
in unto the king, which is not

17 So Mordecai 6 went his way, 
and did according to all that 
Esther had commanded him. 

CHAPTER V. 

Esther invites the king and Haman to a 
banquet. 
OW it came to pass ° on the 
third day, that Esther put on 
her royal apparel, and stood in b the 
inner court of the king's house, 
over against the king's house: and 
the king sat upon his royal throne 
in the royal house, over against 
the gate of the house. 

2 And it was so, when the king 
saw Esther the queen standing in 
the court, that c she obtained favour 
in his sight: and the d king held 
out to Esther the golden sceptre 
that was in his hand. So Esther 
drew near, and touched the top of 
the sceptre. 

3 Then said the king unto her, 
What wilt thou, queen Esther ? 
and what is thy request? e it shall 
be even given thee to the half of 
the kingdom. 

4 And Esther answered, If it seem 
good unto the king, let the king 
and Haman come this day unto 
the banquet that I have prepared 
for him. 

5 Then the king said, Cause 
Haman to make haste, that he 
may do as Esther hath said. So 
the king and Haman came to the 
banquet that Esther had pre- 
pared. 

6 If And / the king said unto 
Esther at the banquet of wine, 
What 9 is thy petition ? and it 
shall be granted thee: and what is 
thy request? even to the half of 
the kingdom it shall be per- 
formed. 

7 Then answered Esther, and 
said, My petition and my request 
is; 

8 If I have found favour in the 
sight of the king, and if it please 
the king to grant my petition, and 
1 to perform my request, let the 
king and Haman come to the ban- 
quet that I shall prepare for them, 
and I will do to-morrow as the 
king hath said. 

9 U Then went Haman forth that 
day joyful* and with a glad heart: 
but when Haman saw Mordecai 
in the king's gate, that * he stood 
not up, nor moved for him^ he 
was full of indignation against 
Mordecai. 



Ahasuerus honours Mordecai ESTHEK, VI, VII. 



for former services. 



1 Nevertheless Haman i refrained 
himself, and when he came home, 
he sent and 2 called for his friends, 
and Zeresh his wife. 

11 And Haman told them of k the 
glory of his riches, and I the mul- 
titude of his children, and all the 
things wherein the king had pro- 
moted him, and how he had m ad- 
vanced him above the princes and 
servants of the king. 

12 Haman said moreover, Yea, 
Esther the queen did let no man 
come in with the king unto the 
banquet that she had prepared 
but myself; and n to-morrow am 1 
invited unto her also with the 
king. 

13 Yet ° all this availeth me no- 
thing, so long as I see Mordecai 
the Jew sitting at the king's gate. 

14 Then said Zeresh his wife and 
all his friends unto him, Let a 
3 gallows be made of fifty cubits 
high, and to-morrow p speak thou 
unto the king that Mordecai may 
be hanged thereon: then go thou 
in merrily with the king unto the 
banquet. And the thing pleased 
Haman; and he caused v the gal- 
lows to be made. 

CHAPTER VL 

1 Ahasuerus rewards Mordecai for former 
service: 10 Haman commanded, to do 
him honour. 

ON that night 2 could not the 
king sleep; and he commanded 
to bring ° the book of records of 
the Chronicles; and they, were 
read before the king. 

2 And it was found written, that 
Mordecai had told of 2 Bigthana 
and Teresh, two of the king's 
chamberlains, the keepers of tue 
3 door, who sought to lay hand on 
the king Ahasuerus. 

3 And the king said, 6 What hon- 
our and dignity hath been done to 
Mordecai for this? Then said the 
king's servants that ministered 
unto him, There is nothing done 
lor him. 

4 And the king said, Who is in 
the court? Now Haman was 
come into c the outward court of 
the king's house, d to speak unto 
the king to hang Mordecai on the 
gallows that he had prepared for 
him. 

5 And the king's servants said 
unto him, Behold, Haman stand- 
eth in the court. And the king 
said, Let him come in.

king said unto him, AVhat shall be

Haman thought in his heart, To 
whom would the lung delight to

7 And Haman answered the king, 
For the man 6 whom the king 
delighteth to honour, 

8 6 Let the royal apparel be 
brought 7 which the king useth to 
wear, and e the horse that the 
king rideth upon, and the crown

9 And let this apparel and horse 
be delivered to the hand of one of 
the king's most noble princes, that 
they may array the man withal 
whom the king delighteth to hon- 
our, and 8 bring him on horseback 
through the street of the city, 
and /proclaim before him, Thus 
shall it be done to the man whom 
the king delighteth to honour. 

10 Then the king said to Haman, 
Make 9 haste, and take the apparel 
and the horse, as thou hast said, 
and do even so to Mordecai the 
Jew, that sitteth at the king's 
gate: 9 let nothing fail of all that 
thou hast spoken. 

11 Then took Haman the apparel 
and the horse, and arrayed Mor- 
decai, and brought him on horse- 
back through the street of the 
city, and proclaimed before him, 
Thus shall it be done unto the 
man whom the king delighteth to 
honour. 

12 1[ And Mordecai came h again 
to the king's gate: but Haman 
hasted to his house mourning, 
and * having his head covered. 

13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife 
and all his friends eveiy thing that 
had befallen him. Then said his wise 
men and Zeresh his wife unto Mm, 
If Mordecai be of the seed of the 
Jews, before whom thou hast be- 
gun to fall, thou shalt not prevail 
against him, but shalt surely fall 
before him. 

14 And while they were yet talk- 
ing with him, came the king's 
chamberlains, and hasted to bring 
Haman unto the banquet that 
Esther had prepared.

banquet of wine, What is thy 
petition, queen Esther? and it shall 
he granted thee: and what is thy 
request? and it shall be performed, 
even to the half of the kingdom. 

3 Then Esther the queen answer- 
ed and said, If I have found favour 
in thy sight, king and if it please 
the king, let my life be given me 
at my petition, and my people at 
my request: 

4 For we are l sold, I and my 
people, 2 to be destroyed, to be 
slain, and to perish. But if we had 
been sold for bondmen and bond- 
women, I had held my tongue, 
although the enemy could not 
countervail the king's damage. 

5 % Then the king Ahasueras 
answered and said unto Esther the 
queen, Who is he, and where is 
he, 3 that durst presume in his 
heart to do so ? 

6 And Esther said, 4 The adver- 
sary and enemy is this wicked 
Haman. Then Hainan was afraid 
5 before the king and the queen, 

7 ^1 And the king, arising from 
the banquet of wine in his wrath, 
went into the palace garden: and 
Haman c stood up to make request 
for his life to Esther the queen; for 
he saw that there was evil deter- 
mined against him by the king. 

8 Then the king returned out of 
the palace garden into the place of 
the banquet of wine; and Haman 
was fallen upon d the bed whereon 
Esther was. Then said the king, 
Will he force the queen also 6 before 
me in the house? As the word 
went out of the king's mouth, they 
covered * Haman's face. 

9 And / Harbonah, one of the 
chamberlains, said before the king, 
Behold also, 9 the 7 gallows, fifty 
cubits high, which Haman had 
made for Mordecai, who A had 
spoken good for the king, standeth 
in the house of Haman. Then the 
king said, Hang him thereon. 

10 So * they hanged Haman on 
the gallows that he had prepared 
for Mordecai. Then was the king's 
wrath pacified. *

ON that day did the king

Esther the queen: and Mordecai 
came before the king; for Esther 
had told what a he was unto her.

2 And the king took off 5 his ring, 
which he had taken from Haman, 
and gave it unto Mordecai. And 
Esther set Mordecai over the house 
of Haman. 

3 % And Esther spake yet again 
before the king, and fell down at 
his feet, 1 and besought him with 
tears to put away the mischief of 
Haman the Agagite, and his device 
that he had devised against the 
Jews. 

4 Then c the king held out the 
golden sceptre toward Esther. So 
Esther arose, and stood before the 
king, 

5 And said, If it please the king, 
and if I have found favour in his 
sight, and the thing seem right be- 
fore the king, and I be pleasing in 
his eyes, let it be written to reverse 

2 the letters devised by Haman the 
son of Hammedatha the Agagite, 

3 which he wrote to destroy the 
Jews which are in all the king's 
provinces: 

6 For how can I 4 endure to d see 
the evil that shall come unto my 
people? or how can I endure to see 
the destruction of my kindred? 

7 H Then the king Ahasuerus said 
unto Esther the queen, and to Mor- 
decai the Jew, Behold, e I have 
given Esther the house of Haman, 
and him they have hanged upon 
the gallows, because he laid his 
hand upon the Jews. 

8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it 
liketh you, in the king's name, 
and seal it with the king's ring: 
for the writing which is written 
in the king's name, and sealed 
with the king's ring, /may no 
man reverse. 

9 Then 9 were the king's scribes 
called at that time in the third 
month, that is, the month Sivan, 
on the three and twentieth day 
thereof; and it was written (ac- 
cording to all that Mordecai com- 
manded) unto the Jews, and to 
the lieutenants, and the deputies 
and rulers of the provinces which 
are h from India unto Ethiopia, an 
hundred twenty and seven pro- 
vinces, unto every province * ac- 
cording to the writing thereof, and 
unto every people after their lan- 
guage, and to the Jews according 
to their writing, and according to 
their language. 

10 And i he wrote in the king 
Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it 
with the king's ring; and sent 
letters by posts on horseback, and

dromedaries: 

11 Wherein the king granted the 
Jews which were in every city to 
gather themselves together, and to 
stand for their life, to destroy, to 
slay, and to cause to perish, all 
the power of the people and pro- 
vince that would assault them, 
loth little ones and women, k and 
to take the spoil of them for a 
prey, 

12 Upon l one day, in all the pro- 
vinces of king Ahasuems, namely, 
upon the thirteenth day of the 
twelfth month, which is the month 
Adar. 

13 The m copy of the writing for 
a commandment to be given in 
every province was 5 published 
unto all people, and that the Jews 
should be ready against that day 
to avenge themselves on their 
enemies. 

14 So the posts that rode upon 
mules and camels went out, being 
hastened and pressed on by the 
king's commandment. And the 
decree was given at Shushan the 
palace. 

15 ^ And Mordecai went out 
from the presence of the king in 
royal apparel of 6 blue and white, 
and with a great crown of gold, 
and with a garment of fine linen 
and purple: and n the city of Shu- 
shan rejoiced and was glad. 

16 The Jews had ° light, and 
gladness, and joy, and honour. 

_ 17 And in every province, and 
in every city, whithersoever the 
king's commandment and his 
decree came, the Jews had joy 
and gladness, a v feast and a good 
day. And many of the people 
of the land q became Jews; for 
the r fear of the Jews fell upon 
them.

all the provinces of the king Ahas- 
uerus, to lay hand on such as 
sought e their hurt: and no man 
could withstand them; /for the 
fear of them fell upon all people. 

3 And all the rulers of the pro- 
vinces, and the lieutenants, and 
the deputies, and * officers of the 
king, ' helped the Jews; because 
the fear of Mordecai fell upon 
them. 

4 For Mordecai was great in the 
king's house, and his fame went 
out throughout all the provinces: 
for this man Mordecai A waxed 
greater and greater. 

5 Thus the Jews smote all their 
enemies with the stroke of the 
sword, and slaughter, and destruc- 
tion, and did 2 what they would 
unto those that hated them. 

6 And in Shushan the palace the 
Jews slew and destroyed five hun- 
dred men. 

7 And Parshandatha, and Dal- 
phon, and Aspatha, 

8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and 
Aridatha, 

9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, 
and Aridai, and Vajezatha, 

10 The * ten sons of Haman the 
son of Hammedatha, the enemy of 
the Jews, slew they; i but on the 
spoil laid they not their hand. 

11 On that day the number of 
those that were slain in Shushan 
the palace 3 was brought before 
the king. 

12 ^[ And the king said unto 
Esther the queen, The Jews have 
slain and destroyed five hundred 
men in Shushan the palace, and 
the ten sons of Haman; what have 
they done in the rest of the king's 
provinces ? Now, * what is thy 
petition? and it shall be granted 
thee; or what is thy request fur- 
ther? and it shall be done. 

13 Then said Esther, If it please 
the king, let it be granted to the 
Jews which are in Shushan to do 
to-mono w also l according unto 
this day's decree, and 4 let Haman's 
ten m sons be hanged upon the 
gallows. 

14 And the king commanded it 
so to be done: and the decree was 
given at Shushan; and they hanged 
Haman's ten sons. 

15 For the Jews that were in Shu- 
shan gathered "themselves together 
on the fourteenth day also of the 
month Adar, and slew three hun- 
dred men at Shushan: but on the 
prey they laid not then hand. 



The festival of Purim instituted. ESTHEE, X. 



Mordecdi's advancement 



16 But the other Jews that were 
in the king's provinces ° gathered 
themselves together, and stood for 
their lives, and had rest from their 
enemies, and slew of their foes 
seventy and five thousand p (but 
they laid not their hands on the 
prey,) 

17 On the thirteenth day of the 
month Adar; and on the four- 
teenth day 5 of the same rested 
they, and made it a day of feast- 
ing and gladness. 

18 But the Jews" that were at 
Shushan assembled together on 
the thirteenth dap thereof, and on 
the fourteenth thereof; and on the 
fifteenth day of the same they 
rested, and made it a day of feast- 
ing and gladness. 

19 Therefore the Jews of the vil- 
lages, that dwelt in the un walled 
towns, made the fourteenth day 
of the month Adar q a day of glad- 
ness and feasting, r and a good 
day, and of s sending portions one 
to another. 

20 ^ And Mordecai wrote these 
things, and sent letters unto all 
the Jews that were in all the pro- 
vinces of the king Ahasuerus, both 
nigh and far, 

21 To stablish this among them, 
that they should f keep the four- 
teenth day of the month Adar, 
and the fifteenth day of the same, 
yearly, 

22 As the days wherein the Jews 
rested from their enemies, and the 
month which was M turned unto 
them from sorrow to joy, and from 
mourning into a good day; that 
they should make them days of 
feasting and joy, and of v sending 
portions one to another, and gifts 
to the poor. 

23 And the Jews undertook to 
do as they had begun, and as 
Mordecai had written unto them; 

24 Because Haman the son of 
Hammedatha the Agagite, the 
enemy of all the Jews, %v had de- 
vised against the Jews to destroy 
them, and had cast Pur, that is, 
the lot, to 6 consume them, and to 
destroy them; 

25 But 7 when Esther came before 
the king, he commanded by let- 
ters, that his wicked device, which 
he devised against the Jews, 
should x return upon his own head, 
and that he and his sons should 
be hanged on the gallows. 

26 Wherefore they called these

Purim, after the name of

of this letter, and of that which 
they had seen concerning this 
matter, and which had come unto 
them, 

27 The Jews ordained, and took 
upon them, and upon their seed, 
and upon all such as y joined 
themselves unto them, so as it 
should not 9 fail, that they would 
keep these two days according 
to their writing, and according 
to their appointed time, every 
year; 

28 And that these days should be 
remembered and kept throughout 
every generation, every family, 
every province, and every city; 
and that these days of Purim 
should not 10 fail from among the 
Jews, nor the memorial of them 
11 perish from their seed. 

29 Then Esther the queen, ? the 
daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai 
the Jew, wrote with 12 all author- 
ity, ° to confirm this second letter 
of Purim. 

30 And he sent the letters unto 
all the Jews, to b the hundred 
twenty and seven provinces of the 
kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words 
of peace and truth, 

31 To confirm these days of Purim 
in their times appointed, according 
as Mordecai the Jew and Esther 
the queen had enjoined them, 
and as they had decreed for them- 
selves, and for their seed, the 
matters of the fastings and their 
cry. 

32 And the decree of Esther con- 
firmed these matters of Purim; and 
it was written in the book.

THE 



BOOK OF JOB 



CHAPTEK I. 

1 The holiness of Job; Iris wealth; his 
religious care for his children: 6 Satan, 
appearing before God, falsely accuses 
Job, and obtains leave to tempt him. 
13 Job in affliction blesses God. 

THERE was a man ° in the land 
of TJz, whose name was b Job; 
and that man was ° perfect and 
upright, and one that feared d God, 
and eschewed evil. 

2 And there were horn unto him 
seven sons and three daughters. 

3 His x substance also was seven 
thousand sheep, and three thou- 
sand camels, and five hundred 
yoke of oxen, and five hundred 
she-asses, and a very great 2 house- 
hold; so that this man was the 
greatest of all the 3 men of the east. 

4 And his sons went and feasted 
in their houses, every one his day; 
and sent and called for their three 
sisters, to eat and to drink with 
them. 

5 And it was so, when the days of 
their feasting were gone about, that 
Job sent and sanctified them, and 
rose up early in the morning, 6 and 
offered burnt offerings according to 
the number of them all: for Job 
said, / It may be that my sons have 
sinned, and 9 cursed God in their 
hearts. Thus did Job 4 continually. 

6 f Now h there was a day * when 
the sons of God came to present 
themselves before the Lord, and 
5 Satan came also 6 among them. 

7 And the Lord said unto Satan, 
Whence comest thou ? Then Satan 
answered the Lord, and said, From 
going *" to and fro in the earth, and 
from walking up and down in it. 

8 And the Lord said unto Satan, 
7 Hast thou considered my servant 
Job, that there is none like him in 
the earth, a perfect and an upright 
man, one that feareth God, and 
escheweth evil? 

9 Then Satan answered the Lord, 
and said, Doth Job fear God for 
nought? 

10 Hast * not thou made an hedge 
about him, and about his house, 
and about all that he hath on every 
side? l Thou hast blessed the work 
of his hands, and his 8 substance is 
increased in the land:

12 And the Lord said unto Satan, 
Behold, all that he hath is in thy 

10 power ; only upon himself put 
not forth thine hand. So Satan 
went forth from the presence of 
the Lord. 

13 f And there was a day m when 
his sons and his daughters were 
eating and drinking wine in their 
eldest brother's house: 

14 And there came a messenger 
unto Job, and said, The oxen were 
plowing, and the asses feeding be- 
side them; 

15 And the n Sabeans fell upon 
them, and took them away; yea, 
they have slain the servants with 
the edge of the sword; and I only 
am escaped alone to tell thee. 

16 While he was yet speaking, 
there came also another, and said, 

11 The fire of God is fallen from 
heaven, and hath burnt up the 
sheep, and the servants, and con- 
sumed them; and I only am escaped 
alone to tell thee. 

17 While he was yet speaking, 
there came also another, and said, 
The Chaldeans made out three 
bands, and 12 fell upon the camels, 
and have carried them away, yea, 
and slain the servants with the 
edge of the sword; and I only am 
escaped alone to tell thee. 

18 While he was yet speaking, 
there came also another, and said, 
Thy sons and thy daughters were 
eating and drinking wine in their 
eldest brother's house: 

19 And, behold, there came a 
great wind 13 from the wilderness, 
and smote the four corners of the 
house, and it fell upon the young 
men, and they are dead; and I only 
am escaped alone to tell thee. 

20 Then Job arose, and rent his 

14 mantle, and shaved his head, 
and ° fell down upon the ground, 
and worshipped, 

21 And said, Naked came I out 
of my mother's womb, and naked 
shall I return thither: the p Lord 
gave, and the Lord hath taken 
away; q blessed be the name of the 
Lord. 

22 In all this Job sinned not, nor 

15 charged God foolishly.

AGAIN there was a day when 
the sons of God came to pre- 
sent themselves before the Lord, 
and Satan came also among them, 
to present himself before the Lord. 

2 And the Lord said unto Satan, 
From whence comest thou? And 
Satan answered the Lord, and 
said, From going to and fro in the 
earth, and from walking up and 
down in it. 

3 And the Lord said unto Satan, 
Hast thou considered my servant 
Job, that there is none like him in 
the earth, a perfect and an upright 
man, one that feareth God, and 
escheweth evil? and still he a hold- 
eth fast his integrity, although 
thou movedst me against him, x to 
destroy him 6 without cause. 

4 And Satan answered the Lord, 
and said, Skin for skin, yea, all 
that a man hath will he give for 
his life: 

5 But put forth thine hand now, 
and touch his c bone and his flesh, 
and he will curse thee to thy face. 

6 And the Lord said unto Satan, 
Behold, he is in thine hand; 2 but 
save his life. 

7 % So went Satan forth from 
the presence of the Lord, and 
smote Job with sore boils from the 
sole of his foot unto his crown. 

8 And he took him a potsherd to 
scrape himself withal; d and he 
sat down among the ashes. 

9 ^f Then said e his wife unto him, 
Dost / thou still retain thine in- 
tegrity? curse God, and die. 

10 But he said unto her, Thou 
speakest as one of the foolish wo- 
men speaketh. What! shall 9 we 
receive good at the hand of God, 

| and shall we not receive evil? In 
all this didnot Job ft sinwithhis lips. 

II \ Now when Job's three friends 
heard of all this evil that was come 
upon him, they came every one 
from his own place; Eliphaz * the 
Temanite, and Bildad J the Shuh- 
ite, and Zophar the Naamathite: 
for they had made an appointment 
together to come k to mourn with 
him and to comfort him. 

12 And when they lifted up their 
eyes afar off, and knew him not, 
they lifted up their voice, and 
wept; and they rent every one his 
mantle, and l sprinkled dust upon 
their heads toward heaven.

CHAPTER HI. 

Job curses the day of his birth. 

AFTER this opened Job his 
mouth, and cursed his day. 

2 And Job x spake, and said, 

3 Let a the day perish wherein I 
was born, and the night in which it 
was said, There is a man child 
conceived. ' 

4 Let that day be darkness; let 
not God regard it from above, 
neither let the light shine upon it. 

5 Let darkness and 6 the shadow 
of death 2 stain it; let a cloud dwell 
upon it; 3 let the blackness of the 
day terrify it. 

6 As for that night, let darkness 
seize upon it; 4 let it not be joined 
unto the days of the year; let it 
not come into the number of the 
months. 

7 Lo, let that night be solitary; let 
no joyful voice come therein. 

8 Let them curse it that curse the 
day, who c are ready to raise up 
5 their mourning. 

9 Let the stars of the twilight 
thereof be dark; let it look for 
light, but have none; neither let it 
see 6 the dawning of the day: 

10 Because it shut not up the 
doors of my mother's womb, nor 
hid sorrow from mine eyes. 

11 Why died I not from the womb ? 
why did I not give up the ghost 
when I came out of the belly? 

12 Why did the knees prevent 
me? or why the breasts that I 
should suck? 

13 For now should I have lain 
still and been quiet, I should have 
slept: then had I been at rest 

14 With kings and counsellors of 
the earth, which built desolate 
places for themselves; 

15 Or with princes that had gold, 
who filled their houses with silver: 

16 Or as an hidden untimely birth 
I had not been; as infants which 
never saw light 

17 There the wicked cease from 
troubling; and there the "' weary 
be at rest. 

18 Tliere the prisoners rest to- 
gether; they hear not the voice of 
the oppressor. 

19 The small and great are there; 
and the servant is free from his 
master. 

20 Wherefore d is light given to

him that is in misery, and life 
unto the bitter in soul; 

21 Which 8 long for death, hut it 
cometh not; and dig for it more 
than 6 for hid treasures; 

22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and 
are glad, when they can find the 
grave? 

23 Why is light given to a man 
whose way is hid, / and whom God 
hath hedged in? 

24 For my sighing cometh 9 he- 
fore I eat, and my roarings are 
poured out like the waters. 

25 For 10 the thing which I greatly 
feared is come upon me, and that 
which I was afraid of is come unto 
me. 

26 I was not in safety, neither 
had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet 
trouble came. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Eliphaz reproves Job: 7 he shows that 
God's judgments arc not for the right- 
eous, but for the wicked: 12 his vision. 

THEN Eliphaz the Temanite 
answered and said, 
2lfvfe assay x to commune with 
thee, wilt thou be grieved? but 

2 who can withhold himself from 
speaking? 

3 Behold, thou hast instructed 
many, and thou hast strengthened 
the weak hands. 

4 Thy words have upholden him 
that was falling, and thou hast 
strengthened 3 the feeble knees. ' 

5 But now it is come upon thee", 
and thou a faintest; it toucheth 
thee, and thou art troubled. 

6 Is not this b thy fear, c thy con- 
fidence, thy hope, and the upright- 
ness of thy ways? 

7 Remember, I pray thee, who 
ever perished, being innocent? or 
where were the righteous cut off? 

8 Even as I have seen, d they that 
plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, 
reap the same. 

9 By the blast of God they perish, 
and i by the breath of his nostrils 
are they consumed. 

10 The roaring of the Hon, and 
the voice of the fierce lion, and 
the 6 teeth of the young lions, are 
broken. 

11 The f old lion perisheth for 
lack of prey, and the stout lion's 
whelps are scattered abroad. 

12 Now a thing was 3 secretly 
brought to me, and mine ear re- 
ceived a little thereof.

15 Then A a spirit passed before 
my face; the hair of my flesh stood 
up: 

16 It stood still, but I could not 
discern the form thereof: an image 
was before mine eyes; 8 there was 
silence, and I heard a voice, say- 
ing, 

17 Shall mortal man be more just 
than God? shall a man be more 
pure than his Maker? 

18 Behold, he * put no trust in his 
servants; 9 and his angels he 
charged with folly: 

19 How much less in them that 
dwell in houses of clay, whose 
foundation is in the dust, which are 
crushed before the moth? 

20 They are 10 destroyed from 
morning to evening: they perish 
for ever without any regarding it. 

21 Doth not their excellency which 
is in them go away? they die, even 
without wisdom.

one. 

3 I have seen the foolish taking

5 Whose harvest the hungry eat-

be low; that those which mourn

JOB, VL 



Job's reply to Eliplwz. 



12 He disappointeth the devices 
of the crafty, so that their hands 
9 cannot perform their enterprise. 

13 He taketh the wise in their 
own craftiness; and the counsel of 
the froward is carried headlong. 

14 They 10 meet with darkness in 
the day-time, and grope in the 
noon-day as in the night. 

] 5 But he saveth the poor from 
the sword, from their mouth, and 
from the hand of the mighty. 

16 So the poor hath hope, and 
iniquity stoppeth her mouth. 

17 Behold, b happy is the man 
whom God correcteth; therefore 
despise not thou the chastening of 
the Almighty: 

18 For he maketh sore, and bind- 
eth up; he woundeth, and his 
hands make whole. 

19 He c shall deliver thee in six 
troubles; yea, in seven d there shall 
no evil touch thee. 

20 In famine he shall redeem 
thee from death; and in war n from 
the power of the sword. 

21 Thou 6 shalt be hid 12 from the 
scourge of the tongue; neither 
shalt thou be afraid of destruction 
when it cometh. 

22 At destruction and famine 
thou shalt laugh; neither shalt 
thou be afraid of the beasts of the 
earth. 

23 For/ thou shalt be in league 
with the stones of the field; and 
the beasts of the field shall be at 
peace with thee. 

24 And thou shalt know 13 that 
thy tabernacle shall be in peace; 
and thou shalt visit thy habitation, 
and shalt not li sin. 

25 Thou shalt know also that thy 
seed shall be 15 great, and thine off- 
spring as the grass of the earth. 

26 Thou shalt come to thy grave 
in a full age, like as a shock of 
corn 16 cometh in in his season. 

27 Lo this, we have searched it, 
so it is; hear it, and know thou it 
17 for thy good. 

CHAPTER VI 

1 Job shows that his complaints are not 
causeless: 8 he wishes for death, wherein 
he is assured of rest and comfort: 14 he 
reproves his friends' unkindness. 

BUT Job answered and said, 
2 Oh that my grief were 
throughly weighed, and my 
calamity x laid in the balances 
together! 
3 For now it would be heavier 
than the sand of the sea: therefore 

2 my words are swallowed up.

5 Doth the wild ass bray 3 when

6 Can that which is unsavoury

any taste in the white of an egg? 

7 The things that my soul refused

8 Oh that I might have my re-

me i the thing that I long for! 

9 Even that it would please God 
to destroy me; that he would let 
loose his hand, and cut me off ! 

10 Then should I yet have com- 
fort; yea, 5 1 would harden myself 
in sorrow: let him not spare; for I 
have not concealed the words of 
the Holy One. 

11 What is my strength, that I

12 Is my strength the strength of

JOB, IX. 



There is no contending with God. 



9 (For c we are but of yester- 
day, and know 2 nothing, because 
our days upon earth are a sha- 
dow:) 

10 Shall not they teach thee, and 
tell thee, and. utter words out of 
their heart? 

11 Can the rush grow up without 
mire? can the flag grow without 
water? 

12 Whilst d it is yet in his green- 
ness, and not cut down, it wither- 
eth before any other herb: 

13 So are the paths of all that for- 
get God; and the 6 hypocrite's hope 
shall perish: 

14 Whose hope shall be cut off, 
and whose trust shall be 3 a spider's 
web. 

15 He /shall lean upon his house, 
but it shall not stand: he shall 
hold it fast, but it shall not en- 
dure. 

16 He is green before the sun, 
and his branch shooteth forth in 
his garden. 

17 His roots are wrapped about 
the heap, and seeth the place of 
stones. 

18 If 9 he destroy him from his 
place, then it shall deny him, 
saying, I have not seen thee.

4 help the evil doers;

laughing, and. thy lips with 6 re-

CHAPTER IX. 

l Job, acknowledging God's justice, shows 
there is no contending with him. 20 
Man's innocency not to he judged by his 
lot in this world. 

THEN Job answered and said, 
2 I know it is so of a truth: but 
how should a man be just x with 
God? 

3 If he will contend with him, he 
cannot answer him one of a thou- 
sand 

A He is wise in heart, and mighty 
in strength: who hath hardened 
himself against him, and hath pros- 
pered? 

5 Which removeth the mountains, 
and they know not; which over- 
turneth them in his anger;

6 Which 6 shaketh the earth out 
of her place, and the pillars thereof 
tremble; 

7 Which commandeth the sun, 
and it riseth not, and sealeth up 
the stars; 

8 Which alone spreadeth out the 
heavens, and treadeth upon the 
2 waves of the sea; 

9 Which c maketh 3 Arcturus, 
Orion, and Pleiades, and the 
chambers of the south; 

10 Which doeth great things past 
finding out ; yea, and wonders 
without number. 

11 Lo, d he goeth by me, and I see 
him not: he passeth on also, but I 
perceive him not. 

12 Behold, 6 he taketh away, 4 who 
can hinder him? who will say unto 
him, What doest thou? 

13 If God will not withdraw his 
anger, the 5 proud helpers do stoop 
under him. 

14 How much less shall I answer 
him, and choose out my words to 
reason with him? 

15 Whom, / though I were right- 
eous, yet would I not answer, but I 
would make supplication to my 
judge. 

16 If I had called, and he had 
answered me; yet would I not be- 
lieve that he had hearkened unto 
my voice. 

17 For he breaketh me with a tem- 
pest, and multiplieth my 9 wounds 
without cause. 

18 He will not suffer me to take 
my breath, but filleth me with 
bitterness. 

19 If 2 speak of strength, lo, lie is 
strong: and if of judgment, who 
shall set me a time to plead? 

20 If I justify myself, mine own 
mouth shall condemn me: if I say, 
I am perfect, it shall also prove me 
perverse. 

21 Though I were perfect, yet would 
I not know my soul: I would despise 
my life. 

22 This is one thing, therefore I 
said it, He h destroyeth the perfect 
and the wicked. 

23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he 
will laugh at the trial of the inno- 
cent. 

24 The earth is given into the 
hand of the wicked: * he covereth 
the faces of the judges thereof; if 
not, where, and who is he? 

25 Now my days are swifter than 
a post: they flee away, they see no 
good. 

26 They are passed away as the

plaint, I will leave off my heavi- 
ness, and 7 comfort myself;

I know that thou wilt ■> not hold 
me innocent. 

29 If I he wicked, why then 
labour I in vain? 

30 If I wash myself with snow 
water, and make my hands never 
so clean; 

31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in 
the ditch, and mine own clothes 
shall 8 abhor me. 

32 For k he is not a man, as I am, 
that I should answer him, and we 
should come together in judgment. 

33 Neither l is there 9 any 10 days- 
man betwixt us, that might lay his 
hand upon us both. 

34 Let him take his rod away

me. 

CHAPTER X. 

Uob, taking liberty of complaint, expostu- 
lates with God about his afflictions: IS 
he complains of life, and craves a little 
ease before his death. 

MY soul is x weary of my life: I 
will leave my complaint upon 
myself; I will speak in the bitter- 
ness of my souL 

2 I will say unto God, Do not 
condemn me; show me wherefore 
thou contendest with me. 

3 Is it good unto thee that thou 
shouldest oppress, that thou should- 
est despise 2 the work of thine 
hands, and shine upon the counsel 
of the wicked? 

4 Hast thou eyes of flesh ? or a seest 
thou as man seeth? 

5 Are thy days as the days of man?

6 That thou enquirest after mine 
iniquity, and searchest after my 
sin?

deliver out of thine hand.

words be answered? and should 
1 a man full of talk be justified? 

3 Should thy 2 lies make men hold 
their peace? and when thou mock- 
est, shall no man make thee 
ashamed? 

4 For a thou hast said, My doc- 
trine is pure, and I am clean in 
thine eyes. 

5 But oh that God w r ould speak,

therefore that 6 God exacteth of

thee less than thine iniquity de- 
serveth. 

7 Canst c thou by searching find 
out God? canst thou find out the 
Almighty unto perfection? 

8 It is 3 as high as heaven; what 
canst thou do? deeper than hell; 
what canst thou know? 

9 The measure thereof is longer 
than the earth, and broader than 
the sea. 

10 If he 4 cut off, and shut up, or 
gather together, then 6 who can 
hinder him? 

11 For d he knoweth vain men: 
he seeth wickedness also; will he 
not then consider it? 

12 For 6 vain man would be wise, 
though man be bom like a wild 
ass's colt. 

13 If thou e prepare thine heart, 
and stretch / out thine hands to- 
ward him; 

14 If iniquity be in thine hand, 
put it far away, and let not wicked- 
ness dwell in thy tabernacles. 

15 For 9 then shalt thou lift up 
thy face without spot; yea, thou 
shalt be stedfast, and shalt not 
fear: 

16 Because thou shalt forget thy 
misery, and remember it as waters 
that pass away: 

17 And thine age 7 shall be clearer 
than the noon-day; thou shalt 
shine forth, thou shalt be as the 
morning. 

18 And thou shalt be secure, be- 
cause there is hope; yea, thou shalt 
dig about thee, and thou shalt take 
thy rest in safety. 

19 Also thou shalt lie down, and 
none shall make thee afraid; yea, 
many shall 8 make suit unto thee. 

20 But the eyes of the wicked 
shall fail, and 9 they shall not 
escape, and their hope shall be as 
10 the giving up of the ghost.

1 Brevity of man's life. 13 Job waits for 
his change. 

MAN that is born of a woman is 
1 of few days, and a full of 
trouble. 

2 He 6 cometh forth like a flower, 
and is cut down: he fleeth also as 
a shadow, and continueth not. 

3 And c dost thou open thine 
eyes upon such an one, d and 
bringest me into judgment with 
thee? 

4 2 Who e can bring a clean thing 
out of an unclean? not one. 

5 Seeing his days are determined, 
the number of his months are with 
thee, thou hast appointed his 
bounds that he cannot pass; 

6 Turn / from him, that he may 
3 rest, till he shall accomplish, as 
an hireling, his day. 

7 For there is hope of a tree, if it 
be cut down, that it will sprout 
again, and that the tender branch 
thereof will not cease. 

8 Though the root thereof wax 
old in the earth, and the stock 
thereof die in the ground; 

9 Yet through the scent of water 
it will bud, and bring forth boughb 
like a plant. 

10 But man dieth, and * wasteth 
away; yea, man giveth up the 
ghost, and where is he? 

11 As the waters fail from the 
sea, and the flood decayeth and 
drieth up; 

12 So man lieth down, and riseth 
not: 9 till the heavens be no more, 
they shall not awake, nor be raised 
out of their sleep.

keep me secret, until thy wrath be

17 My transgression is sealed up 
in a bag, and thou sewest up mine 
iniquity. 

18 And surely the mountain fall- 
ing 6 cometh to nought, and the 
rock is removed out of his place. 

19 The waters wear the stones:

which grow out of the dust of the 
earth; and thou destroyest the 
hope of man.

5 For thy mouth 4 uttereth thine 
iniquity, and thou choosest the 
tongue of the crafty. 

6 Thine own mouth condemneth 
thee, and not I; yea, thine own 
lips testify against thee. 

7 Art thou the first man that was 
born? or a wast thou made before 
the hills?

headed and very aged men, much 
elder than thy father. 

11 Are the consolations of God 
small with thee? is there any secret 
thing with thee? 

12 Why doth thine heart carry 
thee away? and what do thy eyes 
wink at, 

13 That thou turnest thy spirit 
against God, and lettest such words 
go out of thy mouth? 

14 What 6 is man, that he should 
be clean? and he which is born of 
a woman, that he should be right- 
eous? 

15 Behold, /he putteth no trust 
in his saints; yea, the heavens are 
not clean in his sight; 

16 How s much more abominable 
and filthy is man, A which drink- 
eth iniquity like water? 

17 I will show thee, hear me; and 
that which I have seen I will de- 
clare; 

18 Which wise men have told 
from * their fathers, and have not 
hid it: 

19 Unto whom alone the earth 
was given, and.?' no stranger passed 
among them. 

20 The wicked man travailetb 
with pain all his days, and k the 
number of years is hidden to the 
oppressor. 

21 A 5 dreadful sound is in his 
ears: l in prosperity the destroyer 
shall come upon him. 

22 He believeth not that he shall 
return out of darkness, and he is 
waited for of the sword. 

23 He m wandereth abroad for 
bread, saying, Where is it? he 
knoweth that n the day of darkness 
is ready at his hand. 

24 Trouble and anguish shall 
make him afraid; they shall pre- 
vail against him, as a king ready 
to the battle. 

25 For ° he stretcheth out his 
hand against God, and strengthen- 
eth himself against the Almighty. 

26 He runneth upon him, even on 
his neck, upon the thick bosses of 
his bucklers; 

27 Because p he covereth his face 
with his fatness, and maketh col- 
lops of fat on his flanks. 

28 And he dwelleth in desolate 
cities, and in houses which no man 
inhabiteth, which are ready to be- 
come heaps. 

29 He shall not be rich, neither 
shall his substance continue, nei- 
ther shall he prolong the perfection 
thereof upon the earth.

JOB, XVI, XYH. 



Job bemoans his calamities. 



30 He shall not depart out of 
darkness; the flame shall dry up 
his branches; and by 2 the breath 
of his mouth shall he go away. 

31 Let not him that is deceived 
trust r in vanity; for vanity shall 
be his recompence. 

32 It shall be 6 accomplished s be- 
fore his time, and his branch shall 
not be green. 

33 He shall shake off his unripe 
grape as the vine, and shall cast 
off his flower as the olive. 

34 For f the congregation of hypo- 
crites shall be desolate, and Are 
shall consume the tabernacles of 
bribery. 

35 Tney M conceive mischief, and 
bring forth 7 vanity, and their belly 
prepareth deceit. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

1 Job reproves his friends for unmercifvl- 
ness; 17 he asserts his innocency. 

THEN Job answered and said, 
2 I have heard many such 
things: x miserable comforters are 
ye alL 

3 Shall 2 vain words have an end? 
or what emboldeneth thee that 
thou answerest? 

4 I also could speak as ye do: if 
your soul were in my soul's stead, 
I could heap up words against 
you, and a shake mine head at 
you. 

5 But I would strengthen you 
with my mouth, and the moving 
of my lips should asswage your 
grief. 

I 6 Though I speak, my grief is not 
I asswaged; and though L forbear, 
j 3 what am I eased? 

7 But now he hath made me 
! weary: thou hast made desolate all 

my company. 
I 8 And thou hast filled me with 
j wrinkles, which is a witness against 
j me: and my leanness rising up in 
• me beareth witness to my lace. 

9 He teareth me in his wrath, 
who hateth me: he gnasheth upon 
me with his teeth; mine enemy 
sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 

10 They have b gaped upon me 
with their mouth; they c have 
smitten me upon the cheek re- 
proachfully; they have d gathered 
themselves together against me. 

11 God 4 hath delivered me to 
the ungodly, and turned me over 
into the hands of the wicked. 

12 I was at ease, but he hath 
broken me asunder: he hath also 
taken me by my neck, and shaken

CHAPTER XYH. 

1 Job appeals from men to God. 6 The 
unmerciful dealing of men with the 
ajflieUd may astonish, but not discour~ 
age the righteous. 11 Job's hope. 

MY x breath is corrupt, my days 
are extinct, a the graves are 
ready for me. 

2 Are there not mockers with me? 
and doth not mine eye 2 continue 
in their h provocation? 

3 Lay down now, put me in a 
surety with thee; who is he c that 
will strike hands with me? 

4 For thou hast hid their heart 
from understanding : therefore 
shalt thou not exalt them. 

5 He that speaketh flattery to his 
friends, even the eyes of his chil- 
dren shall fail. 

6 He hath made me also d a by- 
word of the people; and 5 aforetime 
I was as a tabret, 

7 Mine eye also is dim by reason 
of sorrow, and all 4 my members 
are as a shadow. 

8 Upright men shall be astonied 
at tins, and the innocent shall stir 
up himself against the hypocrite. 

9 The e righteous also shall hold 
on his way, and he that hath 
clean /' hands 5 shall be stronger 
and stronger.

10 But as for you all, 9 do ye re-

11 My h days are past, my pur- 
poses are broken off, even 6 the 
thoughts of my heart. 

12 They change the night into 
day: the light is 7 short because of 
darkness. 

13 If I wait, the grave is mine 
house: I have made my bed in the 
darkness. 

14 I have 8 said to corruption, 
Thou art my father; to the worm, 
Thou art my mother, and my sis- 
ter. 

15 And where is now my hope?

2 How long will it be ere ye make 
an end of words? mark, and after- 
wards we will speak. 

3 Wherefore are we counted a as 
beasts, and reputed vile in your 
sight? 

4 He 6 teareth 1 himself in his 
unger: shall the earth be forsaken 
for thee ? and shall the rock be 
removed out of his place? 

5 2 Yea, c the light of the wicked 
shall be put out, and the spark of 
his fire shall not shine. 

6 The light shall be dark in his 
tabernacle, and his 3 candle shall 
be put out with him. 

7 The steps of his strength shall 
be straitened, and his own counsel 
shall cast him down. 

8 For he is cast into a net by his 
own feet, and he walketh upon a 
snare. 

9 The gin shall take him by the 
heel, and the robber shall prevail 
against him. 

10 The snare is 4 laid for him in 
the ground, and a trap for him in

11 Terrors d shall make him afraid 
on every side, and shall 5 drive him 
to his feet. 

12 His strength shall be hunger- 
bitten, and e destruction shall be 
ready at his side. 

13 It shall devour the 6 strength

CHAPTER XIX. 

1 Job complains of his friends' cruelty; 23 
his belief in the resurrection. 

THEN Job answered and said, 
2 How long will ye a vex my 
soul, and break me in pieces with 
words? 

3 These ten times have ye re- 
proached me: ye are not ashamed 
that ye l make yourselves strange 
to me. 

4 And be it indeed that I have 
erred, b mine error remaineth with 
myself. 

5 If indeed ye c will magnify your- 
selves against me, and plead against 
me my reproach; 

6 Know now that d God hath 
overthrown me, and hath com- 
passed me with his net. 

7 Behold, I cry out of 2 wroug, 
but I am not heard: I cry aloud, 
but there is no judgment. 

8 He hath e fenced up my way 
that I cannot pass, and he hath set 
darkness in my paths. 

9 He hath stripped me of my 
glory, and taken the crown from 
my head. 

10 He hath destroyed me on every 
side, and I am gone; and mine hope 
hath he removed like a tree. 

11 He hath also kindled / his 
wrath against me, and he counteth 
me unto him as one of his ene- 
mies. 

] 2 His 9 troops come together, and 
raise up their way against me, and 
encamp round about my taber- 
nacle. 



Job mourns over his afflictions. 



JOB, XX. 



The portion of the wicked. 



13 He hath put h my brethren far 
from me, and mine acquaintance 
are verily estranged from me. 

14 My kinsfolk have failed, and 
my familiar friends have forgotten 
me. 

1 b They that dwell in mine house, 
and my maids, count me for a 
stranger: I am an alien in their 
sight. 

16 I called my servant, and he 
gave me no answer; I entreated 
nim with my mouth. 

17 My breath is strange to my 
wife, though I entreated for the 
children's sake of 3 mine own 
body. 

18 Yea, 4 young children despised 
me; I arose, and they spake against 
me. 

19 All 5 my inward friends ab- 
horred me; and they whom I loved 
are turned against me. 

20 My bone cleaveth to my skin 
6 and to my flesh, and I am escaped 
with the skin of my teeth. 

21 Have pity upon me, have pity 
upon me, ye my friends; for the 
hand of God hath touched me. 

22 Why do ye persecute me as 
God, and are not satisfied with my 
flesh? 

23 7 Oh that my words were now 
written! oh that they were printed 
in a book! 

24 That they were graven with an 
iron pen and lead in the rock for 
ever! 

25 For I know that my Redeemer 
liveth, and that he shall stand at 
the latter day upon the earth: 

26 8 And though after my skin 
loorms destroy this body, yet in my 
flesh shall I see God: 

27 Whom I shall see for myself, 
and mine eyes shall behold, and 
not s another; 10 though my reins be 
consumed u within me. 

28 But ye should say, Why per- 
secute we him, 12 seeing the root of 
the matter is found in me? 

29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for 
wrath bringeth the punishments of 
the sword, that ye may know t/iere 
is a judgment.

reproach, and the spirit of my un- 
der-standing causeth me to answer. 

4 Knowest thou not this of old, 
since man was placed upon earth, 

5 That a the triumphing of the 
wicked is 2 short, and the joy of 
the hypocrite but for a moment? 

6 Though his excellency mount 
up to the heavens, and his head 
reach unto the 3 clouds; 

7 Yet he shall perish for ever like 
his own dung: they which have 
seen him shall say, Where is he? 

8 He shall fly away as a dream, 
and shall not be found; yea, he 
shall be chased away as a vision of 
the night. 

9 The eye also which saw him shall 
see him no more; neither shall his 
place any more behold him. 

10 4 His children shall seek to 
please the poor, and his hands shall 
restore then goods. 

11 His bones are full of the sin of 
his youth, which shall he down 
with him in the dust. 

12 Though wickedness be sweet 
in his mouth, though he hide it un- 
der his tongue; 

13 Though he spare it, and forsake 
it not, but keep it still 3 within his 
mouth; 

14 Yet his h meat in his bowels is 
turned, it is the gall of asps within 
him. 

15 He hath c swallowed down 
riches, and he shall vomit them up 
again: God shall cast them out of 
his belly. 

16 He shall suck the poison of 
asps: the viper's tongue shall slay 
him. 

17 He shall not see d the rivers, 
6 the floods, the brooks of honey 
and butter. 

18 That which he laboured for 
shall he restore, and shall not swal- 
low it down: 7 according to his 
substance shall the restitution be, 
and he shall not rejoice therein. 

19 Because he hath 8 oppressed 
and hath forsaken the poor; because 
he hath violently taken away an 
house which he builded not; 

20 Surely e he shall not 9 feel quiet- 
ness in his belly, he shall not save 
of that which he desired. 

21 10 There shall none of his meat 
be left; therefore shall no man look 
for his goods. 

22 Li the fulness of his sufficiency 
he shall be in straits: every hand 
of the n wicked shall come upon 
him. 

23 When he is about to fill his belly, 



Job shoivs that the wicked

sometimes prosper in this life. 



God shall cast the fury of his wrath 
upon him, and shall rain it upon 
him t while he is eating. 

24 He g shall flee from the iron 
weapon, and the bow of steel shall 
strike him through. 

25 It is drawn, and cometh out of 
the body; yea, the glittering sword 
cometh out of his gall: h terrors are 
upon him. 

26 All darkness shall be hid in his 
secret places: * a fire not blown 
shall consume him; it shall go ill 
with him that is left in his taber- 
nacle. 

27 The heavens $ shall reveal his 
iniquity; and the earth shall rise 
up against him. 

28 The increase of his house shall 
depart, and his goods shall flow away 
in the day of his wrath. 

29 This k is the portion of a wicked 
man from God, and the heritage 
12 appointed unto him by God. 

CHAPTER XXL 

1 Job craves to be patiently heard because 

of his calamities: he shows that, sometimes 

the wickeddo so prosper that they despise 

God, etc. 

BUT Job answered and said, 
2 Hear diligently my speech; 
and let this be your consolations. 

3 Suffer me that I may speak; and 
after that I have spoken, mock on. 

4 As for me, is my a complaint to 
man? and if it were so, why should 
not my spirit be x troubled? 

5 2 Mark me, and be astonished, 
and lay your hand upon your 
mouth. 

6 Even when I remember I am 
afraid, and trembling taketh hold 
on my flesh. 

7 Wherefore 6 do the wicked live, 
become old, yea, are mighty in 
power? 

8 Their seed is established in their 
sight with them, and their offspring 
before their eyes. 

9 Their houses 3 are safe from fear, 
neither is the rod of God upon 
them. 

10 Their bull gendereth, and fail- 
eth not; their cow calveth, and 
casteth not her calf. 

11 They send forth their little ones 
like a flock, and their children 
dance. 

12 They take the timbrel and 
harp, and rejoice at the sound of 
the organ. 

13 They spend their days * in 
wealth, and in a moment go down 
to the grave. 

14 Therefore they say unto God,

Depart from us; for we desire not 
the knowledge of thy ways. 

15 What is the Almighty, that we 
should serve him? and what profit 
should we ha ve,if we pray unto him? 

16 Lo, their good is not in their 
hand: the counsel of the wicked is 
far from me. 

17 How oft is the 5 candle of the 
wicked put out? and how oft cometh 
then destruction upon them? God 
distributeth sorrows in his anger. 

18 They are as stubble before the 
wind, and as chaff that the storm 
6 carrieth away. 

19 God layeth up 7 his iniquity 
for his children: he rewardeth him, 
and he shall know it. 

20 His eyes shall see his destruc- 
tion, and he shall drink of the 
wrath of the Almighty. 

21 For what pleasure hath he in 
his house after him, when the 
number of his months is cut off in 
the midst? 

22 Shall any teach God knowledge? 
seeing he judgeth those that are 
high. 

23 One dieth 8 in his full strength, 
being wholly at ease and quiet: 

24 His 9 breasts are full of milk, 
and his bones are moistened with 
in arrow. 

25 And another dieth in the bit- 
terness of his soul, and never eateth 
with pleasure. 

26 They -shall lie c down alike in 
the dust, and the worms d shall 
cover them. 

27 Behold, I know your thoughts, 
and the devices which ye wrongfully 
imagine against me. 

28 For ye say, Where is the house 
of the prince? and where are 10 the 
dwelling-places of the wicked? 

29 Have ye not asked them that 
go by the way? and do ye not know 
their tokens, 

30 That the e wicked is reserved 
to the day of destruction? they shall 
be brought forth to u the day of 
wrath. 

31 Who shall declare his way to 
his face? and who shall repay him 
what he hath done? 

32 Yet shall he be brought to the 
12 grave, and shall 13 remain in the 
tomb. 

33 The clods of the valley / shall 
be sweet unto him, and every man 
shall draw after him, as there are 
innumerable before him. 

34 How then comfort ye me in 
vain, seeing in your answers there 
remaineth u falsehood? 



Eliphaz exhorts Job to repentance. JOB, XXII-III. Job longs to appear 



God. 



CHAFTEK XXIL 

I Eliphaz shows that God is not profited 
by inan's goodness: 5 he accuses Job of 
divers sins: 2l he exhorts him to re- 
pentance, etc. 

THEN Eliphaz the Temanite 
answered and said, 

2 Can a a man be profitable unto 
God, x as he that is wise may be 
profitable unto himself? 

3 Is it any pleasure to the Al- 
mighty, that thou art righteous? 
or is it gain to him, that thou niak- 
est thy ways perfect? 

4 Will he reprove thee for fear of 
thee? will he enter with thee into 
judgment? 

5 Is not thy wickedness great? 
and thine iniquities infinite? 

6 For thou hast taken a pledge 
from thy brother for nought, and 
2 stripped the naked of their cloth- 
ing. 

7 Thou hast not given water to 
the weary to drink, and thou b hast 
withholden bread rrom the hungry. 

8 But as for 3 the mighty man, 
tie had the earth; and the * hon- 
ourable man dwelt in it 

9 Thou hast sent widows away 
empty, and the arms of the father- 
less have been broken. 

10 Therefore snares are round 
about thee, and sudden fear troub- 
leth thee; 

II Or darkness, tJiat thou canst 
not see; and abundance of waters 
cover thee. 

12 Is c not God in the height of 
heaven? and behold 5 the height 
of the stars, how high they are! 

13' And thou sayest, tt How doth 
God know? can he judge through 
the dark cloud? 

14 Thick d clouds are a covering 
to him, that he seeth not; and he 
walketh in the circuit of heaven. 

15 Hast thou marked e the old 
way which wicked men have 
trodden? 

16 Which were cut down out of 
time, " l whose foundation was 
overflown with a flood: 

17 Which said unto God, Depart 
from us: and what can the Al- 
mighty do a for them? 

18 Yet he filled-'' then- houses with 
good things: but the counsel of the 
wicked is far from me. 

19 The righteous 9 see it, and are 
glad; and the innocent laugh them 
to scorn. 

20 Whereas our 9 substance is not 
cut down, but i0 the remnant of 
them the fire consumeth.

2b Yea, the Almighty shall be j

14 plenty of silver. 

26 For then shalt thou have thy j 
delight in the Almighty, and shalt 
lift up thy face unto God. 

27 Thou shalt make thy prayer 
unto him, and he shall hear thee, i 
and thou shalt pay thy vows. 

25 Thou shalt-'' also decree a thing, 
and it shall be established unto 
thee : and the light shall shine 
upon thy ways. 

29 When men are cast down, then 
thou shalt say, There is lifting up; 
and he shall save 15 the humble 
person.

of the innocent: and it is delivered

CHAPTER XXIIL 

1 Job longs to appear be/ore God, 6 in con-

THEN Job answered and said, 
2 Even to-day is my complaint 
bitter: x my stroke is heavier than 
my groaning. 

3 Oh that I knew where I might 
find himl that I might come even to 
his seat! 

4 I would order my cause before 
him, and fill my mouth with argu- 
ments. 

5 I would know the words which 
he would answer me, and under- 
stand what he would say unto 
me. 

6 Will a he plead against me with 
his great power? No; but he would 
put strength in me. 

7 There the righteous might 
dispute with him; so should I 
be delivered for ever from my 
judge. 

8 Behold, 6 I go forward, but he j 
is not there; and backward, but I I 
cannot perceive him: 

9 On the left hand, where he doth ; 
work, but I cannot behold him: he 
hideth himself on the right hand, 
that I cannot see him:

of the wicked. 



10 But he knoweth 2 the way 
that I take: when c he hath tried 
me, I shall come forth as gold. 

11 My d foot hath held his steps, 
his way have I kept, and not de- 
clined. 

12 Neither have I gone hack from 
the commandment of his lips; 3 I 
have esteemed the words of his 
mouth more than 4 my necessary 
food. 

13 But he is in one mind, e and 
who can turn him? and what his 
soul desiretb, even that he doeth. 

14 For he performeth the thing 
that is f appointed for me : and 
many such things are with him. 

15 Therefore ami 5 troubled at 
his presence: when I consider, I am 
afraid of him. 

16 For God maketh my heart 
soft, and the Almighty troubleth 
me: 

17 Because I was not cut h off 
before the darkness, neither hath 
he covered the darkness from my 
face. 

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 Sin often goes unpunished in this life. 
12 Of God's providence in all things, etc. 

WH T, seeing a times are not 
hidden from the Almighty, 
do they that know him not see

2 Some remove the b landmarks :

3 They drive away the ass of the 
fatherless, they c take the widow's 
ox for a pledge. 

4 They turn the needy out of the 
way: d the poor of the earth hide 
themselves together. 

5 Behold, as wild asses in the 
desert, go they forth to their work; 
rising betimes for a prey: the wil- 
derness yieldeth food for them and 
for their children. 

6 They reap every one his 2 corn in 
the field; and 3 they gather the 
vintage of the wicked. 

7 They e cause the naked to lodge 
without clothing, that they have no

8 They are wet with the showers

9 They pluck the fatherless from

12 Men groan from out of the 
city, and the soul of the wounded 
crieth out: ? yet God layeth not 
folly to them. 

33 They are of those that rebel 
against the light; they know not 
the ways thereof, nor abide in the 
paths thereof. 

14 The murderer rising with the 
light killeth the poor and needy, 
and in the night is as a thief. 

15 The eye also of the adulterer 
waiteth for the twilight, saying, 
No eye shall see me; and 4 disguis- 
eth his face. 

16 In the dark they dig through 
houses, which they had marked for 
themselves in the day-time: a they 
know not the light 

17 For the morning is to them 
even as the shadow of death: if 
one know them, they are in the ter- 
rors of the shadow of death. 

18 He is swift as the waters; their 
portion is cursed in the earth: he 
beholdeth not the way of the vine- 
yards. 

19 Drought and heat 6 consume 
the snow waters; so doth the grave 
those which have sinned. 

20 The womb shall forget him; 
the worm shall feed sweetly on 
him: * he shall be no more remem- 
bered; and wickedness shall be 
broken as a tree. 

21 He evil-entreateth the barren 
that beareth not, and doeth not 
good to the widow. 

22 He draweth also the mighty 
with his power: he riseth up, 6 and 
no man is sure of life. 

23 Though it be given him to be in 
safety, whereon he resteth, yet 7 his 
eyes are upon their ways. 

24 They are exalted i for a little 
while, but 8 are gone and brought 
low; they are s taken out of the 
way as all other, and cut off as the 
tops of the ears of corn. 

25 And if it be not so now, who 
will make me a liar, and make my 
speech nothing worth?

The excellency of wisdom. JOB, XX VIII, XXIX. Job moans over his calamities. 



CHAPTER XXVIIL 

1 There is a knowledge of natural things, 
12 but wisdom is an excellent gift of God. 

SURELY there is x a vein for the 
silver, and a place for gold 
where they fine it. 

2 Iron is taken out of the 2 earth, 
and brass is molten out of the stone, 

3 He setteth an end to darkness, 
and a searcheth out all perfection: 
the stones of darkness, and the 
shadow of death. 

4 The flood breaketh out from the 
inhabitant; even the waters forgotten 
of the foot: they are dried up, they 
are gone away from men. 

5 As for the earth, out of it cometh 
bread; and under it is turned up 
as it were fire. 

6 The stones of it are the place of 
sapphires; and it hath 3 dust of 
gold. 

7 There is a path which no fowl 
knoweth, and which the vulture's 
eye hath not seen: 

8 The lion's whelps have not trod- 
den it; nor the fierce lion passed 
by it. 

9 He putteth forth his hand upon 
the 4 rock; he overturneth the 
mountains by the roots. 

10 He cutteth out rivers among 
the rocks; and his eye seeth every 
precious thing. 

11 He bindeth the floods 5 from 
overflowing; and the thing that is 
hid bringeth he forth to light. 

12 But 6 where shall wisdom be 
found? and where is the place of 
understanding? 

] 3 Man knoweth not the c price 
thereof; neither is it found in the 
land of the living. 

14 The d depth saith, It is not in 
me; and the sea saith, It is not 
with me. 

15 6 It 6 cannot be gotten for gold, 
neither shall silver be weighed for 
the price thereof 

16 It cannot be valued with the 
gold of Ophir, with the precious 
onyx, or the sapphire. 

17 The gold and the crystal can- 
not equal it; and the exchange of 
it shall not be for 7 jewels of fine 
gold. 

18 No mention shall be made of 
8 coral, or of pearls: for the price 
of wisdom is above rubies. 

19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall 
not equal it, neither shall it be 
valued with pure gold. 

20 Whence then cometh wisdom? 
and where is the place of under- 
standing?

CHAPTER XXIX. 

Job bemoans himself when he remembers, 
his former prosperity and honour. 

MOREOVER Job * continued 
his parable, and said, 

2 Oh that I were as in months 
past, as in the days when God pre- 
served me; 

3 When a his 2 candle shined upon 
my head, and wJ<m by his light I 
walked through darkness; 

4 As I was in the days of my 
youth, when h the secret of God 
was upon my tabernacle; 

5 When the Almighty was yet 
with me, when my children were 
about me; 

6 When C I washed my steps with 
butter, and d the rock poured 3 me 
out rivers of oil; 

7 When I went out to the gate 
through the city, vjhen I prepared 
my seat in the street! 

8 The young men saw me, and 
hid themselves; and the aged arose, 
and stood up. 

9 The princes refrained talking, 
and laid their hand on their mouth. 

10 4 The nobles held their peace, 
and their 6 tongue cleaved to the 
roof of their mouth. 

11 When the ear heard me, then it 
blessed me; and when the eye saw 
me, it gave witness to me: 

12 Because / 1 delivered the poor 
that cried, and the fatherless, and 
him that had none to help him. 

13 The blessing of him that was 
ready to perish came upon me: and 



Job contrasts his former prosperity JOB, XXX. 



with his mournful condition. 



I caused the widow's heart to sing 
for joy. 

14 I 9 put on righteousness, and it 
clothed me: my judgment was as 
a robe and a diadem. 

15 1 was h eyes to the blind, and 
feet was I to the lame. 

16 I was a father to the poor: and 
the * cause which I knew not 1 
searched out. 

17 And I brake 6 the jaws of the 
wicked, and 6 plucked the spoil 
out of his teeth. 

18 Then I said, i I shall die in my 
nest, and I shall multiply my days 
as the sand. 

19 My k root was 7 spread out l by 
the waters, and the dew lay all 
night upon my branch. 

20 My glory was 8 fresh in me, and 
my "' bow was 9 renewed in my 
hand. 

21 Unto me men gave ear, and 
waited, and kept silence at my 
counsel. 

22 After my words they spake not 
again; and my speech dropped 
upon them. 

23 And they waited for me as for 
the rain; and they opened their 
mouth wide as for the latter rain. 

24 If I laughed on them, they be- 
lieved it not; and the light of my 
countenance they cast not down. 

25 I chose out their way, and sat 
chief, and dwelt as a king in the 
army, as one thai comforteth the 
mourners. 

CHAPTER XXX. 

1 Job's honour turned into extreme con- 
tempt: 15 his prosperity into calamity. 

BUT now t/iey that are x younger 
than I have me in derision, 
whose fathers 1 would have dis- 
dained to have set with the dogs 
of my flock. 

2 Yea, whereto might the strength 
of their hands profit me, in whom 
old age was perished? 

3 For want and famine they were 

2 solitary; fleeing into the wilder- 
ness 3 in former time desolate and 
waste. 

4 Who cut up mallows by the 
bushes, and juniper roots for their 
meat. 

5 They were driven forth from 
among men, (they cried after them 
as after a thief;) 

6 To dwell in the cliffs of the 
valleys, in 4 caves of the earth, and 
in the rocks. 

7 Among the bushes they brayed; 
under the nettles they were gather- 
ed together.

9 And now am I their song; a yea, 
I am their byword. 

10 They abhor me, they flee far 
from me, 6 and spare not to spit 
in my face. 

11 Because he h hath loosed my 
cord, and afflicted me, they have 
also let loose the bridle before me. 

12 Upon my right hand rise the 
youth; they push away my feet, 
and c they raise up against me the 
ways of their destruction. 

13 They d mar my path, they set 
forward my calamity, they have 
no helper. 

14 They came upon me e as a wide 
breaking in of waters; in the deso- 
lation they rolled themselves upon 
me. 

15 Terrors are turned upon me: 
they pursue 7 my soul as the wind; 
and my welfare passeth away as a 
cloud. 

16 And now my soul is / poured 
out upon me; the days of affliction 
have taken hold upon me. 

17 My bones 9 are pierced in me 
in the night season; and my sinews 
take no rest. 

18 By the great force of my disease 
is my garment changed: it bindeth 
me A about as the collar of my 
coat. 

19 He hath cast me into the mire, 
and I am become like dust and 
ashes. 

20 I cry * unto thee, and thou 
dost not hear me: I stand up, and 
thou regardest me not. 

21 Thou art B become cruel to 
me; with 9 thy strong hand thou 
opposest thyself against me. 

22 Thou liitest me up to the wind; 
thou causest me to ride upon it, 
and dissolvsst my lu substance. 

23 For I know that thou wilt 
bring me to death, and to the house 
appointed for all hving. 

24 Howbeit he will not stretch 
out his hand to the u grave, though 
they cry in his destruction. 

25 DicU not I weep 12 for him that 
was in trouble? was not my soul 
ia grieved for the poor? 

26 When k I looked for good, then 
evil came unto me; and when I 
waited for light, there came dark- 
ness.

not; the days of affliction prevent-

congregation. 

29 I arn a m brother to dragons,

30 My skin is black upon me, and 
my bones are burnt with heat. 

81 My harp also is turned to mourn- 
ing, and my organ into the voice 
of them that weep. 

CHAPTER XXXL 

Job's solemn protestation of his integrity. 

I MADE a covenant with a mine 
eyes; why then should I think 
upon a maid? 

2 For what portion of God is there 
from above? and what inheritance 
of the Almighty from on high? 

3 Is not destruction to the wicked? 
and a strange punishment to the 
workers of iniquity? 

4 Doth b not he see my ways, and 
count all my steps? 

5 If I have walked with vanity, 
or if my foot hath hasted to de- 
ceit; 

6 x Let me be weighed in an even 
balance, that God may know mine 
integrity. 

7 If my step hath turned out of 
the way, and ' mine heart walked 
after mine eyes, and if any blot 
hath cleaved to mine hands; 

8 Then let me sow, and let another 
eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted 
out. 

9 If mine heart have been de- 
ceived by a woman, or if I have 
laid wait at my neighbour's door; 

10 Then let my wife grind unto 
another, and let others bow down 
upon her. 

11 For this is an heinous crime; 
yea, it is an iniquity to be punished 
by the judges. 

12 For it is a fire tJiat consumeth 
to destruction, and wojild root out 
all mine increase. 

13 If I did despise the cause of 
my man-servant, or of my maid- 
servant, when they contended 
with me; 

14 What then shall I do when 
God riseth up? and when he visit- 
eth, what shall I answer him? 

15 Did d not he that made me in 
the womb make him? and a did 
not one fashion us in the womb? 

16 If I have withheld the poor 
from their desire, or have caused 
the eyes of the widow to fail; 

17 Or have eaten my morsel my- 
self alone, and the fatherless hath 
not eaten thereof;

18 (For from my youth he was

ther, and I have guided 3 her from 
my mother's womb;) 
.19 If I have seen any perish for 
want of clothing, or any poor 
without covering; 

20 If his loins have not blessed 
me, and if he were not warmed 
with the fleece of my sheep; 

21 If I have lifted up my hand 
against the fatherless, when I saw 
my help in the gate; 

22 Then let mine arm fall from my 
shoulder blade, and mine arm be 
broken from 4 the bone. 

23 For destruction from God was 
a terror to me, and by reason of 
his highness I could not endure. 

24 If I have made gold my hope, 
or have said to the fine gold, Thou 
art my confidence; 

25 If I rejoiced because my wealth 
was great, and because mine hand 
had 5 gotten much; 

26 If e I beheld 6 the sun when it 
shined, or the moon walking 7 in 
brightness; 

27 And my heart hath been 
secretly enticed, or 8 my mouth 
hath kissed my band: 

28 This also were an iniquity to be 
punished by the judge: for / 1 should 
have denied the God that is above. 

29 If I rejoiced at the destruction 
of him that hated me, or lifted up 
myself when evil found him; 

30 Neither 9 have I suffered 9 my 
mouth to sin by wishing a curse to 
his soul; 

31 If the men of my tabernacle 
said not, Oh that we had of his 
flesh! we cannot be satisfied; 

32 The 7t stranger did not lodge 
in the street; but I opened my doors 

10 to the traveller; 

33 If I covered my transgressions 

11 as Adam, by hiding mine ini- 
quity in my bosom: 

34 Did I fear a * great multitude, 
or did the contempt of families 
terrify me, that I kept silence, and 
went not out of the door? 

35 Oh that one would hear me! 

12 behold, my desire is, that the 
Almighty would answer me, and 
that, mine adversary had written a 
book: 

36 Surely I would take it upon 
my shoulder, and bind it as a 
crown to me. 

37 I would declare unto him the 
number of my steps; as a prince 
would I go near unto him. 

38 If my land cry against me, or

that the furrows likewise thereof 
13 complain; 

39 If I have eaten u the fruits 
thereof without money, or have 
15 caused the owners thereof to lose 
their life: 

40 Let thistles grow instead of 
wheat, and 16 cockle instead of 
barley. The words of Job are 
ended. 

CHAPTEK XXXEL 

1 Elihu is angry with Job and his three 
fi-unds: 11 he reproves them for not sat- 
isfying Job. 

SO these three men ceased 1 to 
answer Job, because he was 
righteous in his own eyes. 

2 Then was kindled the wrath 
of Elihu the son of Barachel ° the 
Buzite, of the kindred of Rain; 
against Job was his wrath kindled, 
because he justified 2 himself rather 
than God. 

3 Also against his three Mends 
was his wrath kindled, because 
they had found no answer, and 
yet had condemned Job. 

4 Now Elihu had 3 waited till 
Job had spoken, because they were 
4 elder than he. 

5 When Elihu saw that there was 
no answer in the mouth of these 
three men, then his wrath was 
kindled. 

6 And Elihu the son of Barachel 
the Buzite answered and said, I 
am 5 young, and ye are very old; 
wherefore I was afraid, and e durst 
not show you mine opinion. 

7 1 said, b Days should speak, and 
multitude of years should teach 
wisdom. 

8 But there is a spirit in man: and 
the c inspiration of the Almighty 
giveth them understanding. 

9 Great men are d not always wise; 
neither do the aged understand 
judgment. 

10 Therefore I said, Hearken to 
me; I also will show mine opin- 
ion. 

11 Behold, I waited for your 
words; I gave ear to your 7 rea- 
sons, whilst ye searched out 8 what 
to say. 

12 Yea, I attended e unto you, 
and, behold, there was none of you 
that convinced Job, or that an- 
swered his words: 

13 Lest / ye should say, We have 
found out wisdom: God thrusteth 
him down, not man. 

14 Now he hath not 9 directed 
his words against me; neither will 
I answer him with your speeches.

16 When I had waited, (for they

answered no more,)

cept any man's person; neither 
let me give flattering titles unto 
man. 

22 For 1 know not 9 to give flat- 
tering titles; in so doing my Maker 
would soon h take me away. 

CHAPTER XXXIIL 
1 Elihu offers to reason with Job: 8 he ex- 
cuses (rod from giving men an account 
of his ways; 14 God calls men to repent- 
ance by visions, afflictions, and by his 
ministry. 

WHEREFORE, Job, I pray thee, 
hear a my speeches, and 
hearken to all my words. 

2 Behold, now I have opened my 
mouth, my tongue hath spoken 
1 in my mouth. 

3 My words shall be of the l up- 
rightness of my heart; and my lips 
shall utter knowledge 2 clearly. 

4 The Spirit of God hath c made 
me, and the breath of the 
Almighty hath given me life. 

5 If thou canst answer me, set 
thy words in order before me, stand 
up. 

6 Behold, d I am 3 according to 
thy wish in God's stead: I also am 
4 formed out of the clay. 

7 Behold, my 6 terror shall not 
make thee afraid, neither shall my 
hand be heavy upon thee. 

8 Surely thou hast spoken 5 in 
mine hearing, and I have heard 
the voice of thy words, saying, 

9 1 am clean / without transgres- 
sion, I am innocent; neither is there 
iniquity in me. 

10 Behold, he 9 findeth occasions 
against me, he counteth me for his 
enemy, 

11 He putteth h my feet in the 
stocks, he marketh all my paths. 

12 Behold, in this thou art I not 
just: I will answer thee, that God 
is greater than man.

JElihu reproves Job 



JOB, XXXIV. for charging God with injustice. 



13 Why dost thou & strive against 
him? for 6 he giveth not account of 
any of his matters. 

14 For God speaketh once, yea 
twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 

15 In a dream, in a vision of the 
night, when deep sleep falleth 
upon men, in slumherings upon 
the bed; 

16 Then 7 he openeth the ears of 
men, and sealeth their instruction, 

17 That he may withdraw man 
from his 8 purpose, and hide pride 
from man. 

18 He keepeth hack his soul from 
the pit, and his life 9 from perish- 
ing by the sword. 

19 He is * chastened also with pain 
upon his bed, and the multitude 
of his bones with strong pain: 

20 So that his life abhorreth 
bread, and his soul 10 dainty meat. 

21 His flesh is consumed away, 
that it cannot be seen; and l his 
bones that were not seen stick out. 

22 Yea, his soul draweth near 
unto the grave, and his life to the 
destroyers. 

23 If there be a m messenger with 
him, an interpreter, one among a 
thousand, to show unto man his 
uprightness; 

24 Then he is "gracious unto 
him, and saith. Deliver him from 
going down to the pit; I have found 
" a ransom. 

25 His flesh shall be fresher 12 than 
a child's: he shall return to the 
days of his youth: 

26 He shall pray ° unto God, and 
he will be favourable unto him; 
and he shall see his face with joy: 
for he will render unto man his 



27 13 He looketh upon men; and 
if any say, I have sinned, and per- 
verted that which was right, and it 
profited me not; 

28 " He will deliver his soul from 
going into the pit, and his life 
shall see the light. 

29 Lo, all these things worketh 
God oftentimes with man, 

30 To bring back p his soul from 
the pit, to be enlightened with the 
fight of the living. 

31 Mark well, O Job; hearken 
unto me: hold thy peace, and I 
will speak. 

32 If thou hast any thing to say, 
answer q me: speak, for I desire to 
justify thee. 

33 If not, r hearken unto me: hold 
thy peace, and I shall teach thee 
wisdom.

CHAPTEK XXXIV. 

1 Eliliu accuses Job for charging God with 
injustice. 10 God cannot be unjust, etc. 

FUBTHEBMOBE, Efihu an- 
swered and said, 

2 Hear my words, O ye wise men; 
and give ear unto me, ye that have 
knowledge: 

3 For the ear trieth words, as the 

1 mouth tasteth meat. 

4 Let us choose to us judgment: 
let us know among ourselves what 
is good. 

5 For Job hath said, ° I am right- 
eous: and b God hath taken away 
my judgment. 

6 Should c I lie against my right? 

2 my wound is incurable without 
transgression. 

7 What man is like Job, who 
drinketh up scorning like water? 

8 Which goeth in company with 
the workers of iniquity, and walk- 
eth with wicked men. 

9 For d he hath said, It profiteth 
a man nothing that he should 
delight himself with God. 

10 Therefore hearken unto me, 
ye 3 men of understanding: e Far 
be it from God, that he should do 
wickedness; and from the Al- 
mighty, that he should commit ini- 
quity. 

11 For / the work of a man shall 
he render unto him, and cause 
every man to find according to his 
ways. 

12 Yea, surely God will not do 
wickedly, neither will the Al- 
mighty pervert judgment. 

13 Who hath given him a charge 
over the earth? or who hath dis- 
posed 4 the whole world? 

14 If he set his heart 5 upon man, 
if 9 he gather unto himself his 
spirit and his breath; 

15 All flesh shall perish together, 
and man shall turn again unto 
dust. 

16 If now thou hast understanding, 
hear this; hearken to the voice of 
my words: 

17 Shall ft even he that hateth 
right 6 govern? and wilt thou con- 
demn him that is most just? 

18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou 
art wicked? and to princes, Ye are 
ungodly? 

19 How much less to him that * ac- 
cepteth not the persons of princes, 
nor regardeth the rich more than 
the poor? for they all are the work 
of his hands. 

20 In a moment shall they die. 
and the people shall be troubled 



Elihu exhorts Job 



JOB, XXXY, XXXYI. 



to repentance. 



at midnight, and pass away: and 

7 the mighty shall be taken away 
without hand. 

21 For his eyes are upon the ways 
of man, and he seeth all his goings. 

22 There is no darkness, nor shad- 
ow of death, where the workers of 
iniquity may hide themselves. 

23 For i he will not lay upon man 
more than right, that he should 

8 enter_into judgment with God. 

24 He shall break in pieces 
mighty men 9 without number, 
and set others in their stead. 

25 Therefore he knoweth their 
works, and he overturneth them in 
the night, so that they are 10 de- 
stroyed. 

26 He striketh them as wicked 
men u in the open sight of others; 

27 Because they turned back 
12 from him, and would not con- 
sider any of his ways: 

28 So that they * cause the cry of 
the poor to come unto him, andhe 
heareth l the cry of the afflicted. 

29 When he giveth quietness, 
who then can make trouble? and 
when he hideth his face, who then 
can behold him? whether it he done 
against a nation, or against a man 
only: 

30 That the hypocrite m reign 
not, n lest the people be ensnared. 

31 Surely it is meet to be said 
unto God, I have borne chastise- 
ment, I will not offend any more: 

32 That which I see not, teach thou 
me: if I have done iniquity, I will 
do no more. 

33 ^ Should it he according to thy 
mind? he will recompense it, 
whether thou refuse, or whether 
thou choose; and not I: therefore 
speak what thou knowest 

34 Let men H of understanding 
tell me, and let a wise man hear- 
ken unto me. 

35 Job ° hath spoken without 
knowledge, and his words -were 
without wisdom. 

36 15 My desire is, that Job may be 
tried unto the end, because of his 
answers for wicked men. 

37 For he addeth rebellion unto 
his sin; he clappeth his hands 
among us, and multiplieth his 
words against God. 

CHAPTER XXXV. 

1 No comparison to be made with God, be- 

cause our good or evil cannot extend to 

him. 9 Many cry in their afflictions, but 

are not heard for want of faith.

i That there 
are yet 
words for 
God. 



2 Thinkest thou this to be right, 
that thou saidst, My righteousness 
is more than God's? 

3 For thou saidst, What advan- 
tage will it be unto thee? and, 
What profit shall I have, * if I be 
cleansed from my sin? 

4 2 1 will answer thee, and thy 
companions with thee. 

5 Look unto the heavens, and see; 
and behold the clouds, which are 
higher than thou. 

6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou 
against him? or if thy transgres- 
sions be multiplied, what doest : 
thou unto him? 

7 If a thou be righteous, what 
givestthou him? orwhatreceiveth 
he of thine hand? 

8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man 
as thou art: and thy righteousness 
may profit the son of man. 

9 By b reason of the multitude of 
oppressions they make the oppressed 
to cry; they cry out by reason of 
the arm of the mighty. 

10 But none saith, c Where is God 
my maker, d who giveth songs in 
the night; 

11 Who e teacheth us more than 
the beasts of the earth, and mak- 
eth us wiser than the fowls of 
heaven? 

12 There /they cry, but none 
giveth answer, because of the 
pride of evil men. 

13 Surely God will not hear van- 
ity, neither will the Almighty 
regard it. 

14 Although thou sayest thou 
shalt not see him, yet judgment is 
before him; therefore trust thou in 
him. 

15 But now, because it is not so, 
3 he hath visited in his anger; yet 
i he knoweth it not in great ex- 
tremity: 

16 Therefore g doth Job open his 
mouth in vain ; he multiplieth 
words without knowledge. 

CHAPTER XXXVL 

1 Elilm shows how God is just in aU his 
icays: 8 the end of God's chastisements: 
16 how Job's sins hinder God's blessings. 
22 God's works to be magnified. 

ELIHU also proceeded, and said, 
2 Suffer me a little, and I will 
show thee l that J have yet to speak 
on God's behalf. 

3 I will fetch my knowledge from 
afar, and will ascribe righteousness 
to my Maker. 

4 For truly my words shall not be 
false: he that is perfect in know- 
ledge is with thee. 



The end of God's chastisement. JOB, XXX VH. 



Of God's great works. 



5 Behold, God is mighty, and 
despiseth not any: he is mighty in 
strength and 2 wisdom. 

6 He preserveth not the life of the 
wicked: but giveth right to the 
3 poor. 

7 He withdraweth not his eyes 
from the righteous: but a with 
kings are they on the throne; yea, 
he doth establish them for ever, 
and they are exalted. 

8 And b if they be bound in fetters, 
and be holden in cords of affliction; 

9 Then he showeth them their 
work, and their transgressions that 
they have exceeded. 

10 He openeth also their ear to 
discipline, and commandeth that 
they return from iniquity. 

11 If they obey and serve him, they 
shall spend c their days in pros- 
perity, and their years in pleasures: 

12 But if they obey not, i they 
shall perish by the sword, and they 
shall die without knowledge. 

13 But the hypocrites in heart 
heap up wrath; they cry not when 
he bindeth them. 

14= B They die in youth, and their 
life is among the 6 unclean. 

15 He delivereth the 7 poor in his 
affliction, and openeth their ears 
in oppression: 

16 Even so would he have removed 
thee out of the strait into a broad 
place, where there is no straitness; 
and 8 that which should be set on 
thy table should be full of fatness. 

17 But thou hast fulfilled the 
judgment of the wicked: 9 judg- 
ment and justice take hold on thee. 

18 Because there is wrath, beware 
lest he take thee away with his 
stroke: then a great ransom cannot 
10 deliver thee. 

19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, 
not gold, nor all the forces of 
strength. 

20 Desire not the night, when 
people are cut off in their place. 

21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: 
for this d hast thou chosen rather 
than affliction. 

22 Behold, God exalteth by his 
power: who e teacheth like him? 

23 Who hath enjoined him his 
way? or who f can say, Thou hast 
wrought iniquity? 

24 Bemember that thou 9 magnify 
his work, which men behold. 

25 Every A man may see it; man 
may behold it afar off. 

26 Behold, God is great, and » we 
know Am not, J' neither can the 
number of his years be searched out.

noise of his tabernacle? 

30 Behold, he spreadeth his light 
upon it, and covereth u the bottom 
of the sea. 

31 For by them judgeth he the 
people; he giveth meat in abun- 
dance. 

32 With clouds he covereth the 
light; and commandeth it not to

twixt.

CHAPTER XXXVIL 

1 God to be feared for his great works: 15 ] 
his wisdom is unsearchable in them. 

AT this also my heart trembleth, 
and is moved out of his place. 

2 x Hear attentively the noise of 
his voice, and the sound that goeth 
out of his mouth. 

3 He directeth it under the whole 
heaven, and his 2 lightning unto 
the 3 ends of the earth. 

4 After it a voice roareth: he 
thundereth with the voice of his 
excellency; and he will not stay 
them when his voice is heard. 

5 God thundereth marvellously 
with his voice; great things doeth. 
he, which we cannot compre- 
hend. 

6 For he saith to the snow, Be 
thou on the earth; 4 likewise to the 
small rain, and to the great rain of 
his strength. 

7 He sealeth up the hand of every 
man; that " all men may know his 
work. 

8 Then the beasts go into dens, 
and remain in their places. 

9 ° Out of the south cometh the 
whirlwind; and cold out of the 
6 north. 

10 By the breath of God frost is 
given; and the breadth of the 
waters is straitened. 

11 Also by watering he wearieth 
the thick cloud; he scattereth 7 his 
bright cloud, 

12 And it is turned round about 
by his counsels; that they may do 
whatsoever he commandeth them 
upon the face of the world in the 
earth. 

] 3 He causeth it to come, whether

for 8 correction, or for his land, or 
for mercy. 

14 Hearken unto this, Job: 
stand still, and consider the won- 
drous works of God. 

15 Dost thou know when God 
disposed them, and caused the 
light of his cloud to shine? 

16 Dost thou know the balancings 
of the clouds, the wondrous works 
of 6 him which is perfect in know. 






17 How thy garments are warm, 
when he quieteth the earth by the 
south wind? 

18 Hast thou with him c spread 
out the sky, which is strong, and 
as a molten looking-glass? 

19 Teach us what we shall say 
unto him; for we cannot order our 
speech by reason of darkness. 

20 Shall it be told him that I 
speak? If a man speak, surely he 
shall be swallowed up. 

21 And now men see not the 
bright light which is in the clouds; 
but the wind passeth, and cleans- 
eth them. 

22 9 Fair weather cometh out of 
the north: with God is terrible 
majesty. 

23 Touching the Almighty, d we 
cannot find him out: e he is excel- 
lent in power, and in judgment, 
and in plenty of justice: he will^not 
afflict. 

24 Men do therefore 9 fear him: 
he respecteth not any i hat are h wise 
of heart.

vinces Job of ignorance, 31 and of imbe- 
cility.

9 Will the s unicorn be willing to 
serve thee, or abide by thy crib? 

10 Canst thou bind the unicorn 
with his band in the furrow? or 
will he harrow the valleys after 
thee? 

11 Wilt thou trust him, because 
his strength is great? or wilt thou 
leave thy labour to him? 

12 Wilt thou believe him, that he 
will bring home thy seed, and 
gather it into thy barn? 

13 Gavest thou the goodly wings 
unto the peacocks? or 4 wings and 
feathers unto the ostrich? 

14 Which leaveth her eggs in the 
earth, and warmeth them in dust, 

15 And forgetteth that the foot

not her's: her labour is in vain

self on high, she scorneth the horse

21 6 He paweth in the valley, and

22 He mocketh at fear, and is not 
affrighted; neither turneth he back 
from the sword. 

23 The quiver rattleth against 
him, the glittering spear and the 
shield. 

24 He swalloweth the ground with 
fierceness and rage; neither be-

25 He saith among the trumpets, 
Ha, ha! and he smelleth the battle

tains, and the shouting.

CHAPTEK XL. 
Job humbles himself to God. 

MOREOVER the Lord answered 
Job, and said, 

2 Shall he that a contendeth with 
the Almighty instruct him? he that 
reproveth God, let him answer it. 

3 % Then Job answered the Lord, 
and said, 

4 Behold, 6 I am vile; what shall 
I answer thee? c I will lay mine 
hand upon my mouth. 

5 Once have I spoken; but 1 will 
not answer: yea, twice; but I will 
proceed no further. 

6^[Then d answeredthe Lord unto 
Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 

7 Gird 6 up thy loins now like a 
man; / 1 will demand of thee, and 
declare thou unto me. 

8 Wilt 9 thou also disannul my 
judgment? wilt thou condemn me, 
that thou mayest be righteous? 

9 Hast thou an arm like God? or 
canst thou thunder with A a voice 
like him? 

10 Deck * thyself now with majesty 
and excellency, and array thyself 
with glory and beauty. 

11 Cast abroad the rage of thy 
wrath: and behold every one that 
is proud, and abase him. 

12 Look on every one that * is 
proud, anchoring him low; and tread 
down the wicked in their place. 

13 Hide them in the dust together; 
and bind their faces in secret. 

14 Then will I also confess unto 
thee that thine own right hand 
can save thee. 

15 f Behold now l behemoth, 
which I made with thee; he eateth 
grass as an ox. 

16 Lo now, his strength is in his 
loins, and his force is in the navel 
of his belly. 

17 2 He moveth his tail like a 
cedar: the sinews of his stones are 
wrapped together. 

18 His bones are as strong pieces of 
brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 

19 He is the chief of the ways of 
God: he that made him can make 
his sword to approach unto him. 

20 Surely the mountains * bring 
him forth food, where all the beasts 
of the field play. 

21 He lieth under the shady trees,

Of God's great power in the Leviathan.

with a thorn? 

3 Will he make many supplica- 
tions unto thee? will he speak soft 
words unto thee? 

4 Will he make a covenant with 
thee? wilt thou take him for a ser- 
vant for ever? 

5 Wilt thou play with him as with 
a bird? or wilt thou bind him for 
thy maidens? 

6 Shall thy companions make a 
banquet of him? shall they part 
him among the merchants? 

7 Canst thou fill his skin with 
barbed irons ? or his head with 
fish spears? 

8 Lay thine hand upon him, 
remember the battle, do no more. 

9 Behold, the hope of him is in 
vain: shall not one be cast down 
even at the sight of him? 

10 None is so fierce that dare stir 
him up: who b then is able to 
stand before me? 

11 Who c hath prevented me, that 
I should repay him? d whatsoever is 
under the whole heaven is mine. 

12 I will not conceal his parts, 
nor his power, nor his comely pro- 
portion. 

13 Who can discover the face of 
his garment? or who can come to 
him 3 with his double bridle? 

14 Who can open the doors of his 
face? his teeth are terrible round 
about, 

15 His 4 scales are his pride, shut 
up together as with a close seal. 

16 One is so near to another, that 
no air can come between them. 

17 They are joined one to another, 
they stick together, that they can- 
not be sundered. 

18 By his neesings a light doth 
shine, and his eyes are like the 
eyelids of the morning. 



Job submits himself to God. 



JOB, XLII. 



God accepts and blesses Job. 



19 Out of his mouth go burning 
lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 

20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, 
as out of a seething pot or caldron. 

21 His breath kindleth coals, and 
a flame goeth out of his mouth. 

22 In his neck remaineth strength, 
and 6 sorrow is turned into joy 
before him. 

23 6 The flakes of his flesh are 
joined together: they are firm in 
themselves; they cannot be moved. 

24 His heart is as firm as a stone; 
yea, as hard as a piece of the nether 
millstone. 

25 When he raiseth up himself, 
the mighty are afraid: by reason of 
breakings they purify themselves. 

26 The sword of him that layeth 
at him cannot hold; the spear, the 
dart, nor the 7 habergeon. 

27 He esteemeth iron as straw, 
and brass as rotten wood. 

28 The arrow cannot make him 
flee: slingstones are turned with 
him into stubble. 

29 Darts are counted as stubble: 
he laugheth at the shaking of a 
spear. 

30 8 Sharp stones are under him: 
he spreadeth sharp-pointed things 
upon the mire. 

31 He maketh the deep to boil 
like a pot; he maketh the sea like 
a pot of ointment. 

32 He maketh a path to shine 
after him; one would think the 
deep to be hoary. 

33 Upon earth there is not his 
like, 9 who is made without fear. 

34 He beholdeth all high things: 
he is a king over all the children 
of pride.

6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and 
repent in dust and ashes. 

7 ^f And it was so, that after the 
Lord had spoken these words unto 
Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the 
Temanite, My wrath is kindled 
against thee, and against thy two 
friends: for ye have not spoken of 
me the thing that is right, as my 
servant Job hath. 

8 Therefore take unto you g now 
seven bullocks and seven rams, 
and h go to my servant Job, and 
offer up for yourselves a burnt 
offering; and my servant Job shall 
pray * for you; for 2 him will I 
accept; lest I deal with you after 
your folly, in that ye have not 
spoken of me the thing which is 
right, like my servant Job. 

9 ^ So Eliphaz the Temanite and 
Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the 
Naamathite went and did accord- 
ing as the Lord commanded them: 
the Lord also accepted 3 Job. 

10 And the Lord turned the capti- 
vity of Job, when he prayed for his 
friends: also the Lord 4 gave Job 
twice i as much as he had before. 

11 Then came there unto him all 
his k brethren, and all his sisters, 
and all they that had been of his 
acquaintance before, and did eat 
bread with him in his house: and 
they bemoaned him, and comforted 
him over all the evil that the Lord 
had brought upon him: every man 
also gave him a piece of money, 
and every one an earring of gold. 

12 So the Lord blessed l the latter 
end of Job more than his begin- 
ning; for he had fourteen m thou- 
sand sheep, and six thousand 
camels, and a thousand yoke of 
oxen, and a thousand she-asses. 

13 He had also seven sons and 
three daughters. 

14 And he called the name of the 
first, 6 Jemima; and the name of 
the second, 6 Kezia; and the name 
of the third, 7 Keren-happuch. 

15 And in all the land were no wo- 
men found so fair as the daughters 
of Job: and their father gave them 
inheritance among their brethren. 

16 After this " lived Job an hun- 
dred and forty years, and saw his 
sons, and his sons' sons, even four 
generations. 

17 So Job died, being old, and full 
of ° days.

BOOK OF PSALMS 



PSALM I. 

Happiness of the godly, misery of (he wicked. 

BLESSED a is the man that walk- 
eth not in the counsel of the 

1 ungodly, nor standeth in the way 
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat 
of the scornful: 

2 But his delight is in the law of 
the Lord; and in his law doth he 
meditate day and night. 

3 And he shall be like a tree 
planted by the rivers of water, 
that bringeth forth his fruit in his 
season; his leaf also shall not 

2 wither; and whatsoever he doeth 
shall 6 prosper. 

4 The ungodly are not so: but are 
like the chaff which the wind 
driveth away. 

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not 
stand in the judgment, nor sinners 
in the congregation of therighteous. 

6 For c the Lord knoweth the 
way of the righteous: but the way 
of the ungodly shall perish. 

PSALM II. 

i Kingdom of Christ; 10 kings and judges 

exhorted to accept of it. 

WHY do the heathen 1 rage, and 
the people 2 imagine a vain 
thing? 

2 The kings of the earth set them- 
selves, and the rulers take counsel 
together, against the Lord, and 
against his a Anointed, saying, 

3 Let 6 us break their bands 
asunder, and cast away their cords 

! horn us. 

I 4 He c that sitteth in the heavens 

! shall laugh: the Lord shall have 

them in derision. 
6 Then shall he speak unto them 

in his wrath, and s vex them in 

his sore displeasure. 

6 Yet have 1 4 set my King 5 upon 
my holy hill of Zion. 

7 I will declare 6 the decree: the 
Lord hath said unto me, d Thou 
art my Son; this day have I begot- 
ten thee. 

8 Ask ° of me, and I shall give 
thee the heathen for thine inherit- 
ance, and the uttermost parts of 
the earth for thy possession. 

9 Thou / shalt break them with 
a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them 
in pieces like a potter's vessel 

10 Be wise now therefore, ye 
kings; be instructed, ye judges of 
the earth.

Security of God's protection. 

A Psalm of David, when he fled from 

Absalom his son. 

LORD, a how are they increased 
that trouble me? many are they 
that rise up against me. 

2 Many there be which say of my 
souL b There is no help for him in 
God. Selah. 

3 But thou, Lord, art a shield 
1 for me; my glory, and c the lifter 
up of mine head. 

4 I cried unto the Lord with my 
voice, and he heard me out of his 
holy hill. Selah. 

5 I d laid me down and slept; J 
awaked; for the Lord sustained me. 

6 I will not be afraid of ten thou, 
sands of people that have set 
themselves against me round about. 

7 Arise, Lord; save me, my 
God: for thou hast smitten all 
mine enemies upon the cheek-bone; 
thou hast broken the teeth of the 
ungodly. 

8 Salvation 6 belongeth unto the 
Lord: thy blessing is upon thy 
people. Selah. 

PSALM rv. 

1 David prays for audience. 6 Man's hap- 

piness in God's favour. 

To the 1 chief Musician on Neginoth, A 

Psalm of David. 

HEAR me when I call, God 
of my righteousness: thou hast 
enlarged me when I was in distress; 

2 have mercy upon me, and hear 
my prayer. 

2 ye sons of men, how long will 
ye turn my glory into shame? how 
long will ye love vanity, and seek 
after leasing? Selah. 

3 But know that a the Lord hath 
set apart him that is godly for 
himself: the Lord will hear when 
I call unto him. 

4 Stand 5 in awe, and sin not: 
commune with your own heart 
upon your bed, and be still Selah. 

5 Offer c the sacrifices of righteous- 
ness, and d put your trust in the 
Lord.

PSALM V. 
4 God favours not the wicked. 7 David 

prays unto God to guide him. 
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A 

Psalm of David. 
/2J.IVE ear to my words, Lord; 
VT consider my meditation. 

2 Hearken unto the voice of my 
cry, my King, and my God: for 
unto thee will 1 pray. 

3 My a voice shalt thou hear in 
the morning, Lord; in the morn- 
ing will I direct my prayer unto 
thee, and will look up. 

4 For thou art not a God that 
hath 6 pleasure in wickedness; nei- 
ther shall evil dwell with thee. 

5 The c foolish shall not stand 1 in 
thy sight: thou hatest all workers 
of iniquity. 

6 Thou shalt destroy them that 
speak leasing: the Lord will abhor 
2 the bloody and deceitful man. 

7 But as for me, I will come into 
thy house in the multitude of thy 
mercy; and in thy fear will I wor- 
ship d toward 3 thy holy temple. 

8 Lead me, Lord, in thy right- 
eousness because of 4 mine ene- 
mies; make thy way straight before 
my face. 

9 For there is no 5 faithfulness 6 in 
their mouth; their inward part is 
7 very wickedness; their throat is 
an open sepulchre; they flatter 
with their tongue. 

10 8 Destroy thou them, God; 
let them fall 9 by their own coun- 
sels; cast them out in the multi- 
tude of their transgressions; for 
they have rebelled against thee. 

11 But let all those that put their 
trust in thee rejoice: let them ever 
shout for joy, because 10 thou de- 
fendest them: let them also 6 that 
love thy name be joyful in thee. 

12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the 
righteous; with favour wilt thou 
11 compass him as ivith a shield.

put my trust: save me from 
all them that persecute me, and 
deliver me; 

2 Lest he tear my soul like B a 
Hon, rending it in pieces, while 
there is 2 none to deliver. 

3 O Lord my God, c if I have done 
this; if there be iniquity in my 
hands; 

4 If I have rewarded evil unto 
him that was at peace with me; 
(yea, d I have delivered him that 
without cause is mine enemy;) 

5 Let the enemy persecute my 
soul, and take it; yea, let him

earth, and lay mine honour in the 
dust. Selah.

lift "up thyself, because of the 
rage of mine enemies; and awake

hast commanded.

people compass thee about: for

saveth the upright in heart.

and God is angry with the wicked 
every day. 

12 If he turn not, he will whet 
his sword; he hath bent his bow, 
and made it ready. 

13 He hath also prepared for 
him the instruments of death; he 
ordaineth his arrows against the 
persecutors. 

14 Behold, he travaileth with 
iniquity, and hath conceived mis- 
chief, and brought forth false- 
hood. 

15 5 He made a pit, and digged it,

To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben, 
A Psalm of David. 

I WILL praise thee, O Lord, with 
my whole heart; I will show 
forth all thy marvellous works. 
. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in 
thee : I will sing praise to thy 
name, O thou Most High. 

3 When mine enemies are turned 
back, they shall fall and perish at 
thy presence. 

4 For * thou hast maintained my 
right and my cause; thou satest in 
the throne judging 2 right. 

5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, 
thou hast destroyed the wicked, 
thou hast a put out their name for 
ever and ever. 

6 3 O thou enemy, destructions 
are come to a perpetual end; and 
thou hast destroyed cities; their 
memorial is perished with them. 

7 But b the Lord shall endure for 
ever: he hath prepared his throne 
for judgment; 

8 And he shall judge the world 
in righteousness, he shall minister 
judgment to the people in upright- 
ness. 

9 The Lord also will be 4 a refuge 
for the oppressed, a refuge in times 
of trouble. 

10 And they that know c thy 
name will put their trust in thee: 
for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken 
them that seek thee.

PSALM X. 

David complains to God of the outrage of 
the wicked. 

WHY standest thou afar off, 
Lord? why hidest thou thyself 
in times of trouble? 

2 1 The wicked in his pride doth 
persecute the poor: a let them be 
taken in the devices that they 
have imagined. 

3 For the wicked boasteth of his 
2 heart's desire, and 3 blesseth the 
covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth. 

4 The wicked, h through the pride 
of his countenance, will not seek 
after God: 4 God is not in all his 
thoughts. 

5 His ways are always grievous; 
thy judgments are far above out of 
his sight: as for all his enemies, he 
puffeth at them. 

6 He hath said in his heart, I 
shall not be moved: for / shall 
6 never be in adversity. 

7 His mouth is full of cursing and 
6 deceit and fraud; under his 
tongue is mischief and 7 vanity. 

8 He sitteth in the lurking-places 
of the villages: in the secret places 
doth he murder the innocent: his 
eyes 8 are privily set against the 
poor. 

9 He lieth in wait 9 secretly as a 
lion in his den: he lieth in wait to 
catch the poor: he doth catch the 
poor, when he draweth him into 
his net. 

10 10 He croucheth, and humbleth 
himself, that the poor may fall 
11 by his strong ones. 

11 He hath said in his heart, 
God hath forgotten: he hideth his 
face; he will never see it. 

12 Arise, Lord; God, lift up 
thine hand: forget not the 12 hum- 
ble. 

13 Wherefore doth the wicked 
contemn God? he hath said in his 
heart, Thou wilt not require it.

bow, they make ready their arrow 
upon the string, that they may 

1 privily shoot at the upright in 
heart. 

3 If the foundations be destroyed, 
what can the righteous do? 

4 The a Lord is in his holy tem- 
ple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: 
his eyes b behold, his eye-lids try, 
the children of men. 

5 The Lord c trieth the righteous; 
but the wicked and him that 
loveth violence his soul hateth. 

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain 

2 snares, fire and brimstone, and 

3 an horrible tempest: this shall be 
the portion of their cup. 

7 For the righteous Lord loveth 
righteousness ; his countenance 
doth behold the upright.

they speak.

5 For the oppression b of the poor, 
for the sighing of the needy, now 
will I arise, saith the Lord; I will 
set him in safety from him that 
6 puffeth at him. 

6 The words of the Lord c are pure 
words: as silver tried in a furnace

2 How long shall I take counsel 
in my soul, having sorrow in my 
heart daily? how long shall mine 
enemy be exalted over me? 

3 Consider and hear me, Lord 
my God: lighten b mine eyes, c lest 
I sleep the sleep of death; 

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have 
prevailed against him; and those 
that trouble me rejoice when I am 
moved. 

5 But d I have trusted in thy 
mercy; my heart shall rejoice in 
thy salvation. 

6 I will sing unto the Lord, be- 
cause he hath dealt bountifully 
with me.

2 The Lord looked down from 
heaven upon the children of men, 
to see if there were any that did 
understand, and seek God. 

3 They are all gone aside, they 
are all together become 1 filthy; 
there is none that doeth good, no, 
not one. 

4 Have all the workers of iniquity

people as they eat bread, and call 
not upon the Lord. 

5 There 2 were they in great fear:

4 In whose eyes a vile person is 
contemned ; out he honoureth

thee do I put my trust. 

2 O my soul, thou hast said unto 
the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my 
goodness extendeth not to thee; 

3 But to the saints that are in the 
earth, and to the excellent, in whom 
is all my delight. 

4 Their sorrows shall be multi-

mine inheritance and of my cup: 
thou maintainest my lot. 

6 The lines are fallen unto me in 
pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly 
heritage.

given me counsel; my reins also 
instruct me in the night seasons. 

8 1 have set the Lord always be- 
fore me: because he is at my right 
band, I shall not be moved. 

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and 
my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also 
shall 4 rest in hope:

soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer 
thine c Holy One to see corruption.

PSALM XVLTL 

David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's 
manifold and marvellous blessings. 

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David 
the servant of the Lord, who spake unto 
the Lobd the words of a this song in the 
day that the Lobd delivered him from the 
hand of all his enemies, and from the 
hand of Saul: And he said, 

I 6 WILL love thee, O Lord, my 
strength. 

2 The Lord is my rock, and my 
fortress, and my deliverer; my God, 
1 my strength, in c whom I will 
trust; my buckler, and the horn of 
my salvation, and my high tower. 

3 I will call upon the Lord, d who 
is worthy to be praised: so shall 1 
be saved from mine enemies. 

4 The e sorrows of death com- 
passed me, and the floods of 2 un- 
godly men made me afraid. 

5 The 3 sorrows of hell compassed 
me about; the snares of death pre- 
vented me. 

6 In my distress I called upon the 
Lord, and cried unto my God: he 
heard my voice out of his temple, 
and my cry came before him, even 
into his ears. 

7 Then / the earth shook and 
trembled; the foundations also of 
the hills moved and were shaken, 
because he was wroth. 

8 There went up a smoke 4 out of 
his nostrils, and fire out of his 
mouth devoured: coals were kin- 
dled by it. 

9 He 9 bowed the heavens also, 
and came down: and darkness was 
under his feet. 

10 And h he rode upon a cherub, 
and did fly; * yea, he did fly upon 
the wings of the wind. 

11 He made darkness his secret 
place; his i pavilion round about 
him were dark waters and thick 
clouds of the skies. 

12 At the brightness that was be- 
fore him his thick clouds passed, 
hail stones and coals of fire. 

13 The Lord also thundered in 
the heavens, and the Highest gave 
his * voice; hail stones and coals of 
fire. 

14 Yea, l he sent out his arrows, 
and scattered them; and he shot 
out lightnings, and discomfited 
them. 

15 Then the channels of waters 
were seen, and the foundations of 
the world were discovered at thy 
rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the 
breath of thy nostrils. 

16 He m sent from above, he took

me, lie drew me out of ? many 
waters. 

17 He delivered me from my 
strong enemy, and from them 
which hated me: for they were too 
strong for me. 

18 They prevented me in the day 
of my calamity: but the Lord was 
my stay. 

19 He n brought me forth also 
into a large place; he delivered 
me, because he delighted in me. 

20 The * Lord rewarded me 
according to my righteousness; 
according to the cleanness of my 
hands hath he recompensed me. 

21 For I have kept the ways of 
the Lord, and have not wickedly 
departed from my God. 

22 For all his judgments were be- 
fore me, and I did not put away 
his statutes from me. 

23 I was also upright 6 before him, 
and I kept myself from mine ini- 
quity. 

24 Therefore v hath the Lord re- 
compensed me according to my 
righteousness, according to the 
cleanness of my hands 7 in his 
eyesight. 

25 With q the merciful thou wilt 
show thyself merciful; with an 
upright man thou wilt show thy- 
self upright; 

26 With the pure thou wilt show 
thyself pure; and r with the froward 
thou wilt 8 show thyself froward. 

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted 
people; but wilt bring down s high 
looks. 

28 For « thou wilt light my 9 can- 
dle : the Lord my God will en- 
lighten my darkness. 

29 For by thee I have 10 run 
through a troop; and by my God 
have I leaped over a wall. 

30 As for God, u his way is perfect: 
the " word of the Lord is u tried; 
he is a buckler to all those that 
trust in him. 

31 For w who is God save the 
Lord? or who is a rock save our 
God? 

32 It is God that girdeth me with 
strength, and maketh my way 
perfect. 

33 He maketh my feet like hinds' 
feet, and setteth me upon my high 
places. 

34 He teacheth my hands to war, 
so that a bow of steel is broken by 
mine arms. 

35 Thou hast also given me the 
shield of thy salvation: and thy 
right hand hath holden me up,

and 12 thy gentleness hath made 
me great. 

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps 
under me, that 13 my feet did not 
slip. 

37 I have pursued mine enemies, 
and overtaken them; neither did 
I turn again till they were con- 
sumed. 

38 I have wounded them, that 
they were not able to rise: they are 
fallen under my feet. 

39 For thou hast girded me with 
strength unto the battle: thou hast 
14 subdued under me those that 
rose up against me. 

40 Thou hast also given me the 
necks of mine enemies, that I 
might destroy them that hate me. 

41 They cried, but there was none 
to save them; x even unto the Lord, 
but he answered them not. 

42 Then did 1 beat them small 
as the dust before the wind; I did 
cast them out as the dirt in the 
streets. 

43 Thou hast delivered me from 
the strivings of the people; and 
thou hast made me the head of 
the heathen: a people whom I have 
not known shall serve me. 

44 15 As soon as they hear of me, 
they shall obey me: 16 the strangers 
shall 17 submit themselves unto 
me. 

45 The y strangers shall fade 
away, and be afraid out of their 
close places. 

46 The z Lord liveth; and blessed 
he my Bock; and let the God of 
my salvation be exalted. 

47 It is God that 18 avengeth me, 
and 19 subdueth the people under 
me. 

48 He delivereth me from mine 
enemies; yea, " thou liftest me up 
above those that rise up against 
me: thou hast delivered me from 
the 2° violent man. 

49 Therefore will I 21 give thanks 
unto thee, O Lord, among the 
heathen, and sing praises unto thy 
name.

thou forsaken me? why art 
thou so far 2 from helping me, and 
from b the words of my roaring? 

2 my God, I ciy in the day- 
time, but thou hearest not; and in 
the night season, and a am not 
silent 

3 But thou art c holy, thou that 
inhabitest the praises of Israel. 

4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they 
trusted, and thou didst deliver 
them. 

5 They cried unto thee, and were 
delivered : they trusted in thee, 
and were not confounded. 

6 But I am a worm, and no man; 
a d reproach of men, and despised 
of the people. 

7 All 6 they that see me laugh me 
to scorn: they 4 shoot out the lip, 
they shake the head, saying, 

8 6 He trusted on the Lord that 
he would deliver him: let him 
deliver him, 6 seeing he delighted 
in him. 

9 But thou art he that took me 
out of the womb; thou 7 didst make 
me hope when I was upon my 
mother's breasts. 

10 I was cast upon thee from the 
womb: thou art my God from my 
mother's belly. 

11 Be not far from me, for trouble 
is near; for there is 8 none to help. 

12 Many bulls have compassed 
me: strong bulls of Bashan have

enemies and my foes, 1 came upon 
me to eat up my flesh, they stum- 
bled and fell. 

3 Though an host should encamp 
against me, my heart shall not fear; 
though war should rise against me, 
in this will I be confident. 

4 One thing have I desired of 
the Lord, that will I seek after: 
that I may dwell in the house of 
the Lord all the days of my life, to 
behold 2 the beauty of the Lord, 
and to enquire in his temple. 

5 For B in the time of trouble he 
shall hide me in his pavilion: in 
the secret of his tabernacle shall he 
hide me; he shall set me up upon 
a rock. 

6 And now shall mine head be 
lifted up above mine enemies 
round about me: therefore will I 
offer in his tabernacle sacrifices 3 of

wicked, and with the workers of 
iniquity, which speak peace to their

hearts. 

4 Give ° them according to their 
deeds, and according to the wick-

them after the work of their hands; 
render to them their desert. 

5 Because they regard not the 
works of the Lord, nor the ope- 
ration of his hands, he shall 
destroy them, and not build them 
up.

deliver me in thy righteousness, 

2 Bow a down thine ear to me; 
deliver me speedily: be thou l my 
strong rock, for an house of defence 
to save me. 

3 For thou art my rock and my 
fortress; therefore h for thy name's 
sake lead me, and guide me. 

4 Pull me out of the net that they 
have laid privily for me; for thou 
art my strength. 

5 Into c thine hand I commit my 
spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O 
Lord d God of truth. 

6 I have hated them that regard 
lying vanities: but I trust in the 
Lord. 

7 I will be glad and rejoice in 
thy mercy: for thou hast considered 
my trouble; thou hast e known my 
soul in adversities; 

8 And hast not shut me up into 
the hand of the enemy: /thou hast 
set my feet in a large room. 

9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord,

11 I was a reproach among all 
mine enemies, but 9 especially

12 I am forgotten as a dead man 
out of mind: I am like 2 a broken 
vesseL 

13 For I have heard the slander 
of many: fear u was on eveiy side: 
while they * took counsel together 
against me, they devised to take 
away my life. 

14 But I trusted in thee, Lord: 
I said, Thou art my God. 

15 My times are in thy hand: 
deliver me from the hand of mine 
enemies, and from them that per- 
secute me. 

16 Make-* thy face to shine upon 
thy servant: save me for thy mer- 
cies' sake. 

17 Let * me not be ashamed, 
Lord; for I have called upon thee: 
let the wicked be ashamed, and 
3 let them be silent in the grave. 

18 Let l the lying lips be put to 
silence; which speak 4 grievous 
things proudly and contemptu- 
ously against the righteous. 

19 Oh m how great is thy good- 
ness, which thou hast laid up for 
them that fear thee; which thou 
hast wrought for them that trust 
in thee before the sons of men ! 

20 Thou n shalt hide them in the 
secret of thy presence from the 
pride of man; °thou shalt keep 
them secretly in a pavilion from 
the strife of tongues. 

21 Blessed be the Lord; for he 
hath showed me his marvellous 
kindness in a 5 strong city. 

22 For I said in my haste, I am 
cut off from before thine eyes : 
nevertheless thou heardest the 
voice of my supplications when I 
cried unto thee. 

23 love the Lord, all ye his 
saints : for the Lord p preserveth 
the faithful, and plentifully re ward- 
eth the proud doer.

2 Take hold of shield and buck-

3 Draw out also the spear, and 
stop the way against them that 
persecute me: say unto my soul, I 
am thy salvation. 

4 Let them he confounded and 
put to shame that seek after my 
soul: let them be turned back and 
brought to confusion that devise 
my hurt 

5 Let them be as chaff before the 
wind: and let the angel of the 
Lord chase them. 

6 Let their way be x dark and 
slippery: and let the angel of the 
Lord persecute them. 

7 For without cause have they 
hid for me their net in a pit, which 
without cause they have digged 
for my soul. 

8 Let a destruction come upon 
him 2 at unawares; and b let his 
net that he hath hid catch himself: 
into that very destruction let him 
fall. 

9 And my soul shall be joyful in 
the Lord: it c shall rejoice in his 
salvation. 

10 All my bones shall say, Lord, 
who d is like unto thee, which de- 
liverest the poor from him that is 
too strong for him, yea, the poor 
and the needy from him that 
spoileth him? 

11 3 False witnesses did rise up: 
4 they laid to my charge things that 
I knew not. 

12 They rewarded me evil for 
good, to the 5 spoiling of my soul. 

13 But as for me, when they were 
sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I 
6 humbled my soul with fasting; 
and my prayer returned into mine 
own bosom. 

14 I "' behaved myself 8 as though 
he had been my friend or brother: I 
bowed down heavily, as one that 
mourneth for his mother. 

15 But in mine 9 adversity they 
rejoiced, and gathered themselves 
together: yea, the abjects gathered 
themselves together against me, 
and I knew it not; they did tear 
me, and ceased not: 

16 With hypocritical mockers in 
feasts, they gnashed upon me with 
their teeth.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David

THE transgression of the wicked 
saith within my heart, a that 
there isno fear of God before his eyes. 

2 For he flattereth himself in his 
own eyes, x until his ^iniquity be 
found to be hateful. 

3 The words of his mouth are ini- 
quity and deceit: b he hath left off 
to be wise, and to do good. 

4 He c deviseth 2 mischief upon 
his bed; he setteth himself a in a 
way that is not good; he abhorreth 
not evil. 

5 Thy e mercy, O Lord, is in the 
heavens; and thy faithfulness reach- 
eth unto the clouds. 

6 Thy righteousness is like 3 the 
great mountains; ' thy judgments 
are a great deep: O Lord, 9 thou

2 For they shall soon be cut down 
like the grass, and witber as the 
green herb. 

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; 
so shalt thou dwell in the land, 
and l verily thou shalt be fed. 

4 Delight a thyself also in the 
Lord; and he shah give thee the

5 2 Commit thy way unto tbe 
Lord; trust also in him, and he 
shall bring it to pass: 

6 And b he shall bring forth thy 
righteousness as the light, and thy 
judgment as the noon-day. 

7 3 Best in the Lord, and wait 
patiently for him: fret not thyself 
because of him who prospereth in 
his way, because of the man who 
bringeth wicked devices to pass. 

8 Cease from anger, and forsake 
wrath: fret c not thyself in anywise 
to do evil. 

9 For evil-doers shall be cut off: 
but those that wait upon the Lord, 
they shall inherit the earth. 

10 For yet a little while, and the 
wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt 
diligently consider his place, and 
it shall not be. 

11 But the meek shall inherit the 
earth; and shall delight themselves

12 The wicked 4 plotteth against

14 The wicked have drawn out 
the sword, and have bent their 
bow, to cast down the poor and 
needy, and to slay 5 such as be of 
upright conversation. 

15 Their sword shall enter into 
their own heart, and their bows 
shall be broken. 

16 A 6 little that a righteous man 
hath is better than the riches of 
many wicked. 

17 For the aims of the wicked 
shall be broken: but the Lord up- 
holdeth the righteous. 

18 The Lord / knoweth the days 
of the upright; and their inherit- 
ance shall be 9 for ever. 

19 They shall not be ashamed in 
the evil time; and h in the days of 
famine they shall be satisfied. 

20 But the wicked shall perish, 
and the enemies of the Lord shall 
be as 6 the fat of lambs: they shall 
consume; into smoke shall they 
consume away. 

21 The wicked borroweth, and 
payeth not again: but the right- 
eous showeth mercy, and giveth. 

22 For i such as be blessed of him 
shall inherit the earth; and they 
that be cursed of him shall be cut

23 The J steps of a good man are 
7 ordered by the Lord; and he 
delighteth in his way. 

24 Though *he fall, he shall not be 
utterly cast down: for the Lord 
upholdeth him with his hand.

am old; yet have I not seen the 
righteous forsaken, nor his seed 
begging bread. 

26 He is 8 ever merciful, and lend- 
eth; and his seed is blessed. 

27 Depart from evil, and do good; 
and dwell for evermore. 

28 For the Lord l loveth judg- 
ment, and forsaketh not his saints; 
they are preserved for ever: but the 
seed of the wicked shall be cut 
oft: 

29 The righteous shall inherit the 
land, and dwell therein for ever. 

30 The mouth of the righteous 
speaketh wisdom, and his tongue 
talketh of judgment 

31 The law of his God is in his 
heart; none of his 9 steps shall slide. 

32 The wicked watcheth the 
righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

in his hand, nor w condemn him 
when he is judged.

inherit the land: when the wicked 
are cut off, thou shalt see it.

power, and spreading himself like 
10 a green bay tree. 

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he 
was not; yea, I sought him, but he

37 Mark the perfect man, and be- 
hold the upright: for n the end of 
that man is peace. 

38 But the transgressors shall be 
destroyed together: the end of the 
wicked shall be cut off. 

39 But ° the salvation of the 
righteous is of the Lord; he is their 
strength in the time of trouble. 

40 And the Lord shall help them,

them from the wicked, and save

David moves God to take compassion of

A Psalm of David, to briDg to remembrance. 

OLOBD, rebuke me not in thy 
wrath: neither chasten me in 
thy hot displeasure. 

2 For thine arrows stick fast in 
me, and thy hand presseth me 
sore. 

3 There is no soundness in my flesh 
because of thine anger; neither is 
there any x rest in my bones because 
of my sin. 

4 For mine iniquities are gone 
over mine head; as an heavy 
burden they are too heavy for 
me. 

5 My wounds stink and are cor- 
rupt because of my foolishness. 

6 I am 2 troubled; I am bowed 
down greatly; I go mourning all 
the day long. 

7 For my loins are filled with " a 
loathsome disease; and there is no 
soundness in my flesh. 

8 1 am feeble and sore broken: I 
have roared by reason of the dis- 
quietness of my heart. 

9 Lord, all my desire is before 
thee; and my groaning is not hid 
from thee. 

10 My heart panteth, my strength 
faileth me: as for the light of mine 
eyes, it also 3 is gone from me.

PSALM XXXIX. 

1 David's care of his thoughts. 4 Of the 

brevity and vanity of life. 

To the chief Musician, even to ° Jeduthun, 

A Psalm of David. 

I SAID, 1 will h take heed to my 
ways, that I sin not with my 
tongue: I will keep l my mouth 
with a bridle, c while the wicked is 
before me. 

2 I was dumb with silence; I held 
my peace, even from good; and my 
sorrow was 2 stirred. 

3 My heart was hot within me; 
while I was musing d the fire burn- 
ed: then spake I with my tongue, 

4 Lord, make me to know mine 
end, and the measure of my days, 
what it is; tltat I may know 3 how 
frail I am. 

5 Behold, thou hast made my 
days as an handbreadth, * and 
mine age is as nothing before thee: 
verily every man * at his best state 
is altogether vanity. Selah. 

6 Surely every man walketh in 
a vain show: surely they are dis- 
quieted in vain: he heapeth up 
riches, and knoweth not who shall 
gather them. 

7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? 
my hope is in thee. 

8 Deliver me from all my trans- 
gressions: make me not the re- 
proach of the foolish.

makest 7 his beauty to consume

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 
T i WAITED patiently for the

me, and heard my cry. 

2 He brought me up also out of 

2 an horrible pit, out of the miry 
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, 
and established my goings. 

3 And he hath put a new song in 
my mouth, even praise unto our 
God: many shall see it, and fear, 
and shall trust in the Lord. 

4 Blessed a is that man that 
maketh the Lord his trust, and 
respecteth not the proud, nor such 
as turn aside to lies. 

5 Many, Lord my God, are thy 
wonderful works which thou hast 
done, h and thy thoughts which are 
to us-ward: 3 they cannot be rec- 
koned up in order unto thee: if I 
would declare and speak of them, 
they are more than can be num- 
bered. 

6 Sacrifice c and offering thou 
didst not desire; mine ears hast 
thou * opened: burnt offering and

AS the hart 2 panteth after the

soul after thee, God. 

2 My a soul thirsteth for God, for 
the 6 living God: when shall I come 
and appear before God? 

3 My tears have been my meat 
day and night, while they contin- 
ually say unto me, Where is thy 
God? 

4 When I remember these things, 
I pour out my soul in me: for I 
had gone with the multitude; c I 
went with them to the house of 
God, with the voice of joy and 
praise, with a multitude that kept 
holyday. 

5 Why art thou 3 cast down, 
my soul? and why art thou dis- 
quieted in me? d hope thou in God; 
for 1 shall yet i praise him 5 for the 
help of his countenance. 

6 my God, my soul is cast down 
within me: therefore will I re- 
member thee from the land of 
Jordan, and of the Hermonites, 
from 6 the hill Mizar. 

7 Deep 6 calleth unto deep at the 
noise of thy water-spouts: all thy 
waves and thy billows are gone 
over me. 

8 Yet the Lord will / command 
his loving - kindness in the day- 
time, and in the night his song 
shall be with me, and my prayer 
unto the God of my life. 

9 I will say unto God my rock, 
Why hast thou forgotten me? 
why go I mourning because of the 
oppression of the enemy?

mine enemies reproach me; while 
they say daily unto me, Where is

PSALM XLIY. 

The church, in memory 0/ former favours, 

complains. of her present evils. 

To the chief Musician for the sons of Koran, 

Maschil. 

WE have heard with our ears, O 
God, our fathers have told 
us, what work thou didst in their 
days, in the times of old. 

2 Bow a thou didst drive out the 
heathen with thy hand, and 
plantedst them; how thou didst 
afflict the people, and cast them 
out. 

3 For 5 they got not the land in 
possession by their own sword, 
neither did their own arm save 
them; but thy right hand, and 
thine arm, and the light of thy 
countenance, because c thou hadst 
a favour unto them. 

4 Thou d art my King, O God: 
command deliverances for Jacob. 

5 Through thee ' will we push 
down our enemies; through thy 
name will we tread them under 
that rise up against us. 

6 For /I will not trust in my bow, 
neither shall my sword save me. 

7 But thou hast saved us from 
our enemies, and hast put them to 
shame that hated us. 

8 In s God we boast all the day 
long, and praise thy name for ever, 
Selabu 



Prayer of the church, in affliction. PSALMS, XLV, XLVI. Christ's glory in the church. 



9 But thou hast cast off, and put 
us to shame; and goest not forth 
with our armies. 

10 Thou makest us to h turn back 
from the enemy; and they which 
hate us spoil for themselves. 

11 Thou hast given us 1 like sheep 
appointed for meat; and * hast scat- 
tered us among the heathen. 

12 Thou i sellest thy people 2 for 
nought, and dost not increase thy 
wealth by their price. 

13 Thou makest us a reproach to 
our neighbours, a scorn and a de- 
rision to them that are round 
about us. 

14 Thou makest us a byword 
among the heathen, a shaking of 
the head among the people. 

15 My confusion is continually 
before me, and the shame of my 
face hath covered me, 

16 For the voice of him that re- 
proacheth and blaspheme th; * by 
reason of the enemy and avenger. 

17 All l this is come upon us; yet 
have we not forgotten thee, nei- 
ther have we dealt falsely in thy 
covenant. 

18 Our heart is not turned back, 
neither have our 3 steps declined 
ii'om thy way; 

19 Though thou hast sore broken 
us in the m place of dragons, and 
covered us with the shadow of 
death. 

20 If we have forgotten the name 
of our God, or stretched out our 
hands to a strange god; 

21 Shall n not God search this 
out? for ° he knoweth the secrets 
of the heart. 

22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed 
all the day long; we are counted 
as sheep for the slaughter. 

23 Awake, why sleepest thou, 
Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. 

24 Wherefore hidest thou thy 
face, and forge ttest our affliction 
and our oppression? 

25 Eor our soul is bowed down to 
the dust; our belly cleaveth unto 
the earth. 

26 Arise 4 for our help, and re- 
deem us for thy mercies' sake.

2 Thou art fairer than the chil-

thy lips: therefore God hath blessed 
thee for ever. 

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, 
O Most Mighty, with thy glory and 
thy majesty. 

4 And in thy majesty 3 ride pros- 
perously, because of truth and 
meekness and righteousness; and 
thy right hand shall teach thee j 
terrible things. 

5 Thine arrows are sharp in the 
heart of the King's enemies; where- 
by the people fall under thee. 

6 Thy "throne, O God, is for ever 
and ever: the sceptre of thy king- 
dom is a right sceptre. 

7 Thou 6 lovest righteousness, 
and hatest wickedness: therefore 

4 God, c ihy God, hath anointed 
thee witl. the oil of gladness above 
thy fello" s. 

8 All thj garments smell of myrrh, 
and aloe's, and cassia, out of the 
ivory palaces, whereby they have 
made thee glad. 

9 Kings' daughters were among 
thy honourable women: upon thy 
right hand did stand the queen in 
gold of Ophir. 

10 Hearken, 9 daughter, and con- 
sider, and incline thine ear; a for- 
get also thine own people, and 
thy father's house; 

11 So shall the King greatly desire 
thy beauty: 6 for he is thy Lord; 
and worship thou him. 

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall 
be there with a gift; even the rich 
among the people shall entreat 

5 thy favour. 

13 The /King's daughter is, all 
glorious within; her clothing is of 
wrought gold. 

14 She shall be brought unto the 
King in raiment of needlework : 
the virgins her companions that fol- 
low her shall be brought unto thee. 

15 With gladness and rejoicing 
shall they be brought: they shall 
enter into the King's palace. 

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be 
thy children, g whom thou mayest 
make princes in all the earth.

remembered in all generations : 
therefore shall the people praise 
thee for ever and ever.

4 For, lo/the kings were assem- 
bled, they passed by together. 

5 They saw it, and so they mar- 
velled; they were troubled, and 
hasted away. 

6 Fear took hold upon them there, 
and pain, as of a woman in travail. 

7 Thou 9 breakest the ships of 
Tarshish with an east wind. 

8 As we have heard, so have we

Vanity of trusting in riches. 



PSALM L. 



Obedience the best sacrifice. 



5 Wherefore should I fear in the 
days of evil, when the iniquity of 
my heels shall compass me about? 

6 They that trust in their wealth, 
and boast themselves in the mul- 
titude of their riches; 

7 None of them can by any means 
redeem his brother, nor & give to 
God a ransom for him; 

8 (For c the redemption of their 
soul is precious, and it ceaseth for 

9 That he should still d live for 
ever, and not e see corruption. 

10 For he seeth that wise men die, 
likewise the fool and the brutish 
person perish, and leave then- 
wealth to others. 

11 Their inward thought is, that 
their houses shall continue for ever, 
and their dwelling places 2 to all 
generations: they call their lands 
after their own names. 

12 Nevertheless man being in hon- 
our abideth not: he is like the 
beasts thai perish. 

13 This their way is their folly: 
yet their posterity 3 approve their 
sayings. Selah. 

14 Like sheep they are laid in the 
grave; death shall feed on them; 
and / the upright shall have domi- 
nion over them in the morning; 
and their 4 beauty shall consume 

5 in the grave from their dwelling. 

15 But God g will redeem my soul 

6 from the power of 7 the grave; 
for he shall receive me. Selah. 

. 16 Be not thou afraid when one 
is made rich, when the glory of his 
house is increased; 

17 For when he dieth he shall 
cany nothing away; his glory shall 
not descend after him: 

18 Though 8 while he lived he 
blessed his soul: and men will praise 
thee, when thou doest well to thy- 
self. 

19 9 He shall go to the generation 
of his fathers; they shall never see 
light. 

20 Man that is in honour, and un- 
derstandeth not, is like h the beasts 
that perish.

HAVE mercy upon me, God, 
according to thy loving-kind-

of thy tender mercies 6 blot out my 
transgressions. 

2 Wash c me throughly from 
mine iniquity, and cleanse me 
horn my sin. 

3 For d I acknowledge my trans- 
gressions: and my sin is ever before 
me. 

4 Against * thee, thee only, have 
I sinned, and done this evil / in thy 
sight; 9 that thou mightest be jus- 
tified when thou speakest, and be 
clear when thou judgest. 

5 Behold, h I was shapen in ini- 
quity; and in sin did my mother 
1 conceive me. 

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in 
the inward parts; and in the hid- 
den part thou shalt make me to 
know wisdom. 

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I 
shall be clean; wash me, and I 
shall be whiter than snow. 

8 Make me to hear joy and glad- 
ness; that the bones which thou 
hast broken may rejoice. 

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and 
blot out ah mine iniquities. 

10 Create i in me a clean heart, 
God; and renew 2 a right spirit 
within me. 

11 Cast me not away i from thy 
presence; and take not thy k Holy 
Spirit from me. 

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy 
salvation; and uphold me with thy 
free J Spirit: 

13 Then will I teach transgressors 
thy ways; and sinners shall be con- 
verted unto thee. 

14 Deliver me from 3 blood-guilti-

David, reproving the spitefidness of Doeg, 
prophesies his destruction. 

To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm 
of David, a when Doeg the Edomite came 
and told Saul, and said unto him, David 
is come to the house of Ahimelech. 

WHY boastest thou thyself in 
mischief, O 6 mighty man? 
the goodness of God endureth con- 
tinually. 

2 Thy c tongue deviseth mischiefs; 
like d a sharp razor, working de- 
ceitfully. 

3 Thou lovest evil more than 
good; and lying 6 rather than to 
speak righteousness. Selah. 

4 Thou lovest all- devouring words, 
1 thou deceitful tongue. 

5 God shall likewise 2 destroy thee 
for ever: he shall take thee away, 
and pluck thee out of thy dwelling 
place, and / root thee out of the 
land of the living. Selah. 

6 The 9 righteous also shall see, 
and fear, and h shall laugh at him: 

7 Lo, this is the man that made 
not God his strength; but * trusted 
in the abundance of his riches, and 
strengthened himself in his 3 wick- 
edness. 

8 But I am J like a green olive 
tree in the house of God: I trust in 
the mercy of God for ever and ever. 

9 I will praise thee for ever, be- 
cause thou hast done it: and I will 
wait on thy name; for k it is good 
before thy saints. 

PSALM LUX 

Tiie general depravity of mankind. 

To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, 

Maschil, A Psalm of David. 

THE a fool hath said in his heart, 
There is no God. Corrupt are 
they, and have done abominable 
iniquity: & there is none that doeth 
good. 

2 God c looked down from heaven 
upon the children of men, to see 
if there were any that did under- 
stand, that did <* seek God.

good, no, not one. 

4 Have the workers of iniquity 
no /knowledge? who eat up my 
people as they eat bread: they 
have not called upon God. 

5 There x were they in great fear, 
where no fear was: for God hath 
scattered the bones of him that 
encampeth against thee: thou hast 
put them to shame, because God 
hath despised them. 

6 2 Oh that the salvation of Israel

people, Jacob shall rejoice, and 
Israel shall be glad.

David complains of the Ziphims. 

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Mas-

Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not 
David hide himself with us? 

SAVE me, God, by thy name, 
and judge me by thy strength. 

2 Hear my prayer, God; give 
ear to the words of my mouth. 

3 For strangers are risen up 
against me, and oppressors seek 
after my soul: they have not set 
God before them. Selah, 

4 Behold, God is mine helper: 
the b Lord is with them that up- 
hold my soul. 

5 He shall reward evil unto 1 mine 
enemies : cut them c off in thy 
truth. 

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: 
I will praise thy name, Lord, for 
it is good. 

7 For he hath delivered me out 
of all trouble; and mine eye hath 
seen his desire upon mine enemies.

supplication. 

2 Attend unto me, and hear me: 
I mourn in my complaint, and 
make a noise; 

3 Because of the voice of the 
enemy, because of the oppression 
of the wicked: for they cast ini- 
quity upon me, and in wrath they 
hate me. 

4 My a heart is sore pained within

it upon the walls thereof: mischief 
also and sorrow are in the midst of 
it. 

11 Wickedness is in the midst 
thereof; deceit and guile depart 
not from her streets. 

12 For it was not an enemy that 
reproached me; then I could have 
borne it: neither was it he that 
hated me that did magnify himself 
against me; then I would have hid 
myself from him: 

13 But it was thou, 3 a man mine 
equal, my 6 guide, and mine ac- 
quaintance. 

14 4 We took sweet counsel to- 
gether, and walked unto the house 
of God in company. 

15 Let death seize upon them, 
and let them c go down quick into 
6 hell: for wickedness is in their 
dwellings, and among them. 

16 As for me, I will call upon 
God; and the Lord shall save me. 

17 Evening, d and morning, and 
at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud; 
and he shall hear my voice. 

18 He hath delivered my soul in 
peace from the battle that was 
against me; for there 6 were many 
with me. 

19 God shall hear, and afflict 
them, /even he that abideth of 
old. Selah. 6 Because they have 
no changes, therefore they fear not 
God. 

20 He hath put forth his hands 
against such as be at peace with 
him; 7 he hath broken his cove- 
nant. 

21 The words of his mouth were 
smoother than butter, but war was 
in his heart: his words were softer 
than oil, yet were they drawn 
swords. 

22 Cast thy 8 burden upon the 
Lord, and he shall sustain thee: 
he 9 shall never suffer the righteous 
to be moved. 

23 But thou, God, shalt bring 
them down into the pit of destruc- 
tion: 9 bloody and deceitful men 
10 shall not live out half their days; 
but I will trust in thee.

the a .Philistines took him in Gath. 

BE h merciful unto me, God; 
for man would swallow me 
up: he lighting daily oppresseth 
me. 

2 2 Mine enemies would daily 
swallow c me up: for they be many 
that fight against me, thou Most 
High. 

3 What d time I am afraid, I will 
trust in thee. 

4 In God I will praise his word: 
in God I have put my trust; 6 1 
will not fear what flesh can do 
unto me. 

5 Every day they wrest my words: 
all their thoughts are against me 
for evil. 

6 They gather /themselves to- 
gether, they hide themselves, they 
mark my steps, when they wait 
for my soul. 

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? 
in thine anger cast down the peo- 
ple, God. 

8 Thou tellest my wanderings: 
put thou my tears into thy bottle: 
are a they not in thy book? 

9 When I cry unto thee, then shall 
mine enemies turn back: this I 
know; for A God is for me. 

10 In God will I praise Ms word; 
in the Lord will I praise his word. 

11 In God have I put my trust: I 
will not be afraid what man can 
do unto me. 

12 Thy » vows are upon me, 
God: I will render praises unto 
thee.

soul from death: wilt not thou de- 
liver my feet from falling, that I 
may walk before God in J the fight 
of the living?

iniquity, and save me from bloody 
men. 

3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my

PSALM LXTTT. 

David' s thirst after God's service in Ms 

sanctuary. 

A Psalm of David, a when he was in the 
wilderness of Judah. 

OGOD, thou art my God; early 
will I seek thee: my soul 
thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth 
for thee in a dry and x thirsty land, 
where no water is; 

2 To see thy b power and thy 
glory, so as I have seen thee in the 
sanctuary. 

3 Because c thy loving-kindness is 
better than life, my lips shall praise 
thee. 

4 Thus will I bless thee while I 
live: I will lift up my hands in thy 
name. 

o My soul d shall be satisfied as 
with 2 marrow and fatness; and 
my mouth shall praise thee with 
joyful lips; 

6 TVhen I remember thee e upon 
my bed, and meditate on thee in 
the night watches. 

7 Because thou hast been / my 
help, therefore in the shadow of 
thy wings will I rejoice. 

5 My soul follow eth 9 hard after 
thee: thy right hand upholdeth 
me. 

9 But those that seek my soul, to 
destroy it, shall go into the lower 
parts of the earth. 

10 3 They shall fall by the sword; 
they shall be a portion for foxes. 

11 But the king shall rejoice in 
God; every one A that swear eth by 
him shall gloiy: but the moutn 
of them that speak lies shall be 
stopped. 

PSALM LXIY. 
David prays for deliverance from his 

enemies. 
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 

HEAP, my voice, O God, in my 
prayer: preserve my life from 
fear of the enemy. 

2 Hide me a from the secret coun- 
sel of the wicked; from the insur- 
rection of the workers of ini- 
quity: 

3 Who whet their tongue 5 like a 
sword, and bend their bows to shoot 
their arrows, even bitter words; 

4 That they may shoot in secret

at the perfect: suddenly do they 
shoot at him, and fear not. 

5 They encourage themselves in 
an evil x matter: they commune 

2 of laying snares privily; they say, 
Who shall see them? 

6 They search out iniquities; 

3 they accomplish 4 a diligent 
search: both the inward thought 
of every one of them, and the 
heart, is deep. 

7 But God shall shoot at them 
with an arrow; suddenly 5 shall 
they be wounded. 

8 So * they shall make their own 
tongue to fall upon themselves: 
all that see them shall flee away. 

9 And all men shall fear, and 
shall declare the work of God; for 
they shall wisely consider of his 
doing. 

10 The righteous d shall be glad 
in the Lord, and shall trust in 
him; and all the upright in heart 
shall glory.

choosest, and causest to approach 
unto thee, that he may dwell in thy 
courts: we shall be satisfied with

5 By terrible things in righteous-

name; make his praise glorious. 

3 Say unto God, How terrible art 
thou in thy works! a through the 
greatness of thy power shall thine 
enemies 2 submit themselves unto 
thee. 

4 All 6 the earth shall worship 
thee, and shall sing unto thee; 
they shall sing to thy name. Selah. 

5 Come ° and see the works of 
God: he is terrible in his doing to- 
ward the children of men. 

6 He d turned the sea into dry 
land: they c went through the flood 
on foot: there did we rejoice in 
him. 

7 He ruleth by his power for ever; 
his / eyes behold the nations: let 
not the rebellious exalt themselves. 
Selah. 

8 bless our God, ye people, and 
make the voice of his praise to be 
heard: 

9 Which 3 holdeth our soul in 
life, and suffereth not our feet to 
be moved. 

10 For thou, O God, hast proved 
us: a thou hast tried us, as silver is 
tried. 

11 Thou broughtest us into the 
net; thou laidst affliction upon our 
loins. 

12 Thou hast caused men to ride 
over our heads: we went through 
fire and through water; but thou 
broughtest us out into a 4 wealthy 
place.

4 They that a hate me without a 
cause are more than the hairs of 
mine head: they that would de- 
stroy me, being mine enemies 
wrongfully, are mighty: then I re- 
stored that which I took not away. 

5 O God, thou knowest my fool- 
ishness; and my 3 sins are not hid 
from thee. 

6 Let not them that wait on thee, 
O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed 
for my sake; let not those that 
seek thee be confounded for my 
sake, O God of Israel. 

7 Because for thy sake I have 
borne reproach; shame hath cov- 
ered my face. 

8 I b am become a stranger unto 
my brethren, and an alien unto 
my mother's children. 

9 For c the zeal of thine house 
hath eaten me up; d and the re- 
proaches of them that reproached 
thee are fallen upon me.

13 But as for me, my prayer is 
unto thee, O Lord, y in an accept- 
able time: O God, in the multi- 
tude of thy mercy hear me, in the 
truth of thy salvation. 

14 Deliver me out of the mire, 
and let me not sink: let me be 
delivered from them that hate me, 
and out of the deep waters. 

15 Let not the waterflood over- 
flow me, neither let the deep swal- 
low me up, and let not the pit 
shut her mouth upon me. 

16 Hear me, O Lord; for thy lov- 
ing-kindness is good: turn unto 
me according to the multitude of 
thy tender mercies. 

17 And hide not thy face from 
thy servant; for I am in trouble:. 
6 hear me speedily.

redeem it: deliver me, because of 
mine enemies. 

19 Thou hast known h my re- 
proach, and my shame, and my 
dishonour: mine adversaries are all 
before thee. 

20 Beproach hath broken my

pity, but there was none; and for 
comforters, but I found none.

4 Let 6 all those that seek thee 
rejoice and be glad in thee: and 
let such as love thy salvation say 
continually, Let God be magnified.

PSALM LXXL 

1 David prays both for himself and against 
the enemies of his soul: 17 for support in 
old age. 

IN thee, O Lord, do I put my 
trust; let me never be put to 
confusion. 

2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, 
and cause me to escape: incline 
thine ear unto me, and save me. 

3 x Be thou my strong habitation, 
whereunto I may continually re- 
sort: thou hast given a command- 
ment to save me; for thou art my 
rock and my fortress. 

4 Deliver me, O my God, out of 
the hand of the wicked; out of the 
hand of the unrighteous and cruel 
man. 

5 For thou b art my hope, O Lord 
God: thou art my trust from my 
youth. 

6 By c thee have I been holden 
up from the womb: thou art he 
that took me out of my mother's 
bowels: my praise shall be continu- 
ally of thee. 

7 I d am as a wonder unto many: 
but thou art my strong refuge. 

8 Let my mouth be filled with 
thy praise and with thy honour all 
the day. 

9 Cast me not off in the time of 
old age; forsake me not when my 
strength faileth. 

10 For mine enemies speak 
against me; aDd they that 2 lay 
wait for my soul e take counsel to- 
gether, 

11 Saying, God hath forsaken 
him: persecute and take him; for 
there is none to deliver him. 

12 O / God, be not far from me: 
O my God, 9 make haste for my 
help. 

13 Let h them be confounded and 
consumed that are adversaries to 
my soul; let them be covered with 
reproach and dishonour that seek 
my hurt. 

14 But I will hope continually, 
and will yet praise thee more and 
more.

15 My * mouth shall show forth I 
thy righteousness and thy salvation 
all the day; for I i know not the 
numbers thereof.^ 

16 I will go in * the strength of 
the Lord God: I will make men- 
tion of thy righteousness, even of 
thine only. 

17 God, thou hast taught me 
from my youth: and hitherto 
have I declared thy wondrous 
works. 

18 Now also 3 when I am old and 
grey-headed, God, forsake me 
not, until I have showed 4 thy 
strength unto this generation, and 
thy power to every one that is to 
come. 

19 Thy l righteousness also, 
God, is very high, who hast done 
great things: m God, who is like 
unto thee ! 

20 Thou, n which hast showed me 
great and sore troubles, ° shalt 
quicken me again, and shalt bring 
me up again from the depths of the 
earth. 

21 Thou shalt increase my great- 
ness, and comfort me on every 
side. 

22 I will also praise thee 5 with

God: unto thee will I sing with 
the harp, thou p Holy One of 
Israel. 

23 My lips shall greatly rejoice 
when I sing, unto thee; and a my 
soul, which thou hast redeemed. 

24 My tongue also shall talk of 
thy righteousness all the day long:

are brought unto shame, that seek 
my hurt.

almost gone; my steps had well 
nigh slipped. 

3 For I was envious at the foolish, 



The end of the wicked. 



PSALM LXXIV. 



Desolation of the sanctuary. 



when I saw the prosperity of the 
wicked. 

4 For there are no bands in their 
death; but their strength is 4 firm. 

5 They are not 6 in trouble as 
other men; neither are they plagued 
6 like other men. 

6 Therefore * pride compasseth 
them about as a chain; violence 
covereth them as a garment. 

7 Their eyes stand out with fat- 
ness: 7 they have more than heart 
could wish. 

8 They are corrupt, and speak 
wickedly concerning oppression : 
they h speak loftily. 

9 They set their mouth ' against 
the heavens ; and their tongue 
walketh through the earth. 

10 Therefore his people return 
hither; and waters of a full cup are 
wrung out to them. 

11 And they say, d How doth God 
know? and is there knowledge in 
the Most High? 

12 Behold, these are the ungodly, 
who prosper in the world; they 
increase in riches. 

13 Verily I have cleansed my heart 
in vain, ^and washed my hands in 
innocency. 

14 For all the day long have I 
been plagued, and 8 chastened 
every morning. 

15 If I say, I will speak thus; 
behold, I should offend against the 
generation of thy children. 

16 When/ 1 thought to know this, 
it was too painful for me, 

17 Until 9 I went into the sanc- 
tuary of God; then understood I 
their end. 

18 Surely thou didst set them in 
slippery places; thou castedst them 
down into destruction. 

19 How are they brought into 
desolation, as in a moment! they 
are utterly consumed with terrors. 

20 As a dream when one awaketh; 
so, Lord, when thou awakest, 
thou shalt despise their image. 

21 Thus my heart was grieved, 
and I was pricked in my reins. 

22 So foolish was I, and 10 ignor- 
ant: I was as a beast u before thee. 

23 Nevertheless I am continually 
with thee: thou hast holden me by 
my right hand. 

24 Thou A shalt guide me with 
thy counsel, and » afterward receive 
me to glory. 

25 Whom i have I in heaven but 
thee? and there is none upon earth 
thai I desire besides thee.

PSALM LXXIV. 

The desolation of the sanctuary. 
i Maschil of Asaph. 

OGOD, why hast thou cast us off j 
for ever? why doth thine anger i 
smoke against a the sheep of thy 
pasture? 

2 Kemember thy congregation, j 
which thou hast purchased of old; j 
the 2 rod of thine inheritance, | 
which thou hast redeemed; this 
mount Zion, wherein thou hast 
dwelt 

3 Lift up thy feet unto the per- 
petual desolations, even all that the 
enemy hath done wickedly in the 
sanctuary. 

4 Thine enemies roar in the midst 
of thy congregations; h they set 
up their ensigns for signs. 

5 A man was famous according as 
he had lifted up axes upon tho 
thick trees. 

6 But now they break down the 
carved work thereof at once with 
axes and hammers. 

7 3 They have cast fire into thy 
sanctuary; they have defiled by 
casting down the dwelling place of 
thy name to the ground. 

8 They c said in their hearts, Let 
us 4 destroy them together: they 
have burnt up all the synagogues 
of God in the land. 

9 We see not our signs: d there is 
no more any prophet: neither is 
there among us any that knoweth 
how long. 

10 O God, how long shall the 
adversary reproach? shall the ene- 
my blaspheme thy name for ever? 

11 Why withdrawest thou thy 
hand, even thy right hand? pluck 
it out of thy bosom. 

12 For e God is my King of old, 
working salvation in the midst of 
the earth. 

13 Thou didst 5 divide the sea by 
thy strength: /thou brakest the 
heads of the € dragons in the 
waters. 

14 Thou brakest the heads of 
leviathan in pieces, and gavest him 
to 9 be meat h to the people inhabit- 
ing the wilderness.

6 For promotion cometh neither 
from the east, nor from the west, 
nor from the 4 south. 

7 But God is the judge: 6 he put- 
teth down one, and setteth up 
another. 

8 For c in the hand of the Lord 
there is a cup, and the wine is red; 
it is full of mixture; and he poureth 
out of the same: but the dregs 
thereof, all the wicked of the earth 
shall wring them out, and drink 
them. 

9 But I will declare for ever; I will 
sing praises to the God of Jacob.

5 The c stout-hearted are spoiled,

6 At 6 thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,

7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared:

8 Thou didst cause judgment to

9 When God arose to judgment, 
to save all the meek of the earth. 
Selah. 

10 Surely 9 the wrath of man shall

5 For he established a testimony 
in Jacob, and appointed a law in 
Israel, which he commanded our 
fathers, that they should make 
them known to their children; 

6 That /the generation to come 
might know them, even the children 
which should be born, who should 
arise and declare them to theii 
children; 

7 That they might set their hope 
in God, and not forget the works 
of God, but keep his command- 
ments: 

8 And might not be as their 
fathers, a stubborn and rebellious 
generation; a generation 2 that 
set not their heart aright, and 
whose spirit was not stedfast with 
God. 

9 The children of Ephraim, being 
armed, and 3 carrying bows, turned 
back in the day of battle. 

10 They kept not the covenant of 
God, and refused to walk in his 
law; 

11 And 9 forgat his works, and 
his wonders that he had showed 
them. 

12 Marvellous things did he in 
the sight of their fathers, in the 
land of Egypt, h in the field of 
Zoan. 

13 He divided the sea, and caused 
them to pass through; and he 
made the waters to stand as an 
heap. 

14 In the day-time also he led 
them with a cloud, and all the 
night with a light of fire. 

15 He * clave the rocks in the 
wilderness, and gave them drink as 
out of the great depths. 

16 He brought i streams also out 
of the rock, and caused waters to 
run down like rivers. 

17 And they sinned yet more 
against him by * provoking the 
Most High in the wilderness. 

18 And they tempted God in 
their heart, by asking meat for 
their lust. 

19 Yea, l they spake against God; 
they said, Can God 4 furnish a table 
in the wilderness? 

20 Behold, m he smote the rock, 
that the waters gushed out, and 
the streams overflowed; can he 
give bread also? can he provide 
flesh for his people? 

21 Therefore the Lobd heard 
this, and was wroth: so a fire was 
kindled against Jacob, and anger 
also came up against Israel; 

22 Because they n believed not in

with his people. 



God, and trusted not in his salva- 
tion, 

23 Though he had commanded 
the clouds from above, ° and 
opened the doors of heaven, 

24 And^ had rained down manna 
upon them to eat, and had given 
them of the corn of heaven. 

25 5 Man did eat angels' food: he 
sent them meat to the full. 

26 He caused an east wind 6 to blow 
in the heaven; and by his power 
he brought in the south wind. 

27 He rained flesh also upon them 
as dust, and 7 feathered fowls like 
as the sand of the sea; 

28 And he let it fall in the midst 
of their camp, round about their 
habitations. 

29 So they did eat, and were well 
filled: for he gave them their own 
desire; 

30 They were not estranged from 
their lust: but while their meat 
was yet in their mouths, 

31 The wrath of God came upon 
them, and slew the fattest of 
them, and 8 smote down the 
9 chosen men of Israel. 

32 For all this they sinned still, 
and believed not for his wondrous 
works. 

33 Therefore their days did he 
consume in vanity, and their years 
in trouble. 

34 When s he slew them, then 
they sought him; and they re- 
turned and enquired early after 
God: 

35 And they remembered that 
God was their Rock, and the high 
God their Kedeemer. 

36 Nevertheless they did r flatter 
him with their mouth, and they 
lied unto him with their tongues. 

37 For their heart was not right 
with him, neither were they sted- 
fast in his covenant. 

38 But he, being s full of compas- 
sion, forgave their iniquity, and 
destroyed them not; yea, many a 
time * turned he his anger away, 
and did not stir up all his wrath. 

39 For he remembered M that they 
were but flesh; v a wind that passeth 
away, and cometh not again. 

40 How oft did they 10 provoke 
him in the wilderness, and grieve 
him in the desert! 

41 Yea, they turned back, and 
tempted God, and limited the 
Holy One of Israel 

42 They remembered not his 
hand, nor the day when he deliv- 
ered them u from the enemy:

43 How he had 12 wrought his 
signs in Egypt, and his wonders in 
the field of Zoan: 

44 And had turned their rivers 
into blood; and their floods, that 
they could not drink. 

45 He sent divers sorts of flies 
among them, which devoured 
them; and frogs, which destroyed 
them. 

46 He gave also their increase 
unto the caterpillar, and their 
labour unto the locust. 

47 He 13 destroyed their vines 
with hail, and their sycamore 
trees with u frost. 

48 15 He gave up their cattle also 
to the hail, and their flocks to 
16 hot thunderbolts. 

49 He cast upon them the K fierce- 
ness of his anger, wrath, and in- 
dignation, and trouble, by sending 
evil angels among them. 

50 17 He made a way to his anger; 
he spared not their soul from 
death, but gave their 18 life over to 
the pestilence; 

51 And smote all the first-born in 
Egypt; the chief of their strength 
in the tabernacles of x Ham: 

52 But made his own people to 
go forth like sheep, and guided 
them in the wilderness like a flock. 

53 And he led them on safely, so 
that they feared not: but the sea 
19 overwhelmed their enemies. 

54 And he brought them to the 
border of his y sanctuary, even to 
this mountain, which his right 
hand had purchased. 

55 He cast out the heathen also 
before them, and divided them an 
inheritance by line, and made the 
tribes of Israel to dwell in their 
tents. 

56 Yet they tempted and pro- 
voked the most high God, and 
kept not his testimonies; 

57 But * turned back, and dealt 
unfaithfully like their fathers: they 
were turned aside a like a deceit- 
ful bow. 

58 For they provoked him to 
anger with their b high places, and 
moved him to jealousy with their 
graven images. 

59 When God e heard this, he was 
wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 

60 So d that he forsook the taber- 
nacle of Shiloh, the tent which he 
placed among men; 

61 And e delivered his / strength 
into captivity, and his glory into 
the enemy's hand. 

62 He gave his people over also

Miseries of the church 



unto the sword; and was wroth 
with his inheritance. 

63 The fire consumed their young 
men; and their maidens were not 
20 given to marriage. 

64 Their priests tell by the sword; 
and their 9 widows made no lam- 
entation. 

65 Then the Lord awaked as one 
out of sleep, and h like a mighty 
man that shouteth by reason of 
wine. 

66 And he smote his enemies in 
the hinder part; he put them to a 
perpetual reproach. 

67 Moreover he refused the taber- 
nacle of Joseph, and chose not the 
tribe of Ephraim; 

68 But chose the tribe of Judah, 
the mount Zion which he loved. 

69 And * he built his sanctuary 
like high palaces, like the earth 
which he hath 21 established for 
ever. 

70 He chose David also his ser- 
vant, and took him from the 
sheepfolds: 

71 22 From following the ewes 
great with young he brought him 
to 3 feed Jacob his people, and Is- 
rael his inheritance. 

72 So he fed them according to 
the * integrity of his heart; and 
guided them by the skilfulness of 
his hands.

heaps. 

2 The 6 dead bodies of thy ser- 
vants have they given to be meat 
unto the fowls of the heaven, the 
flesh of thy saints unto the beasts 
of the earth. 

3 Their blood have they shed like 
water round about Jerusalem ; 
and c there was none to bury them. 

4 We are become a reproach to 
our neighbours, a scorn and de- 
rision to them that are round 
about us. 

5 How long, Lord? wilt thou be 
angry for ever? shall thy d jealousy 
burn like fire? 

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the 
heathen that have e not known 
thee, and upon the kingdoms that 
have / not called upon thy name: 

7 For they have devoured Jacob, 
and laid waste his dwelling place.

tween the cherubim, h shine forth. 

2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin 
and Manasseh stir up thy strength, 
and 2 come and save us.

cause thy face to shine; and we 
shall be saved. 

4 Lord God of hosts, how long 

3 wilt thou be angry against the 
prayer of thy people? 

5 Thou feedest them with the 
bread of tears; and givest them 
tears to drink in great measure. 

6 Thou makest us a strife unto 
our neighbours; and our enemies 
laugh among themselves. 

7 Turn d us again, God of hosts, 
and cause thy face to shine; and 
we shall be saved. 

8 Thou hast brought e a vine out 
of Egypt: thou hast cast out the 
heathen, and planted it. 

9 Thou preparedst room before it, 
and didst cause it to take deep 
root, and it filled the land. 

10 The hills were covered with 
the shadow of it, and the boughs 
thereof were like * the goodly 
cedars 

11 She sent out her boughs unto 
the sea, and her branches' unto the 
river.

5 This he ordained in Joseph for 
a testimony, when he went out 
2 through the land of Egypt; where

LOED, thou hast been 2 favour- 
able unto thy land: thou hast 
brought a back the captivity of 
Jacob. 

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity 
of thy people, thou hast covered 
all their sin. Selah. 

3 Thou hast taken away all thy 
Wrath: 3 thou hast turned thyself 
from the fierceness of thine anger. 

4 Turn us, O God of our salva- 
tion, and cause thine anger toward 
us to cease. 

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for 
ever? wilt thou draw out thine 
anger to all generations? 

6 Wilt thou not 6 revive us again, 
that thy people may rejoice in 
thee? 

7 Show us thy mercy, O Lord, 
and grant us thy salvation. 

8 I c will hear what God the Lord 
will speak: for d he will speak 
peace unto his people, and to his 
saints: but let them not tum e again 
to folly. 

9 Surely his salvation is nigh 
them that fear him; that glory 
may dwell in our land. 

10 Mercy / and truth are met to- 
gether; 9 righteousness and peace 
have kissed each other. 

11 Truth h shall spring out of the 
earth; and righteousness shall look 
down from heaven. 

12 Yea, < the Lord shall give that 



Prayer in trouble.

2 The Lord loveth the gates of 
Zion more than all the dwellings 
of Jacob. 

3 Glorious a things are spoken of 
thee, O city of God. Selah. 

4 I will make mention of 2 Eahab 
and Babylon to them that know 
me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, 
with Ethiopia; this man was born 
there. 

5 And of Zion it shall be said, 
This and that man was born in 
her: and 6 the Highest himself 
shall establish her. 

6 The c Lord shall count, when 
he d writeth up the people, thai 
this man was born there. Selah.

A prayer containing a grievous complaint, 

A Song or Psalm 1 for the sons of Korah, 

to the chief Musician upon Mahalath 

Leannoth, 2 Maschil of Heman the Ezra- 

hite. 

OLOED God of my salvation, I 
have cried day and night be- 
fore thee. 

2 Let my prayer come before thee: 
incline thine ear unto my cry; 

3 For my soul is full of troubles, 
and my fife a draweth nigh unto 
the grave. 

4 I am counted with them that 
go down into the pit: I am as a 
man that hath no strength: 

5 Free among the dead, like the 
slain that lie in the grave, whom J 
thou rememberest no more: and 
they are cut off 3 from thy hand. 

6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest 
pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 

7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, 
and thou hast afflicted me with all 
thy waves. Selah. 

8 Thou hast put away mine ac- 
quaintance far from me; thou hast 
made me an abomination unto 
them: lam shut up, and I cannot 
come forth. 

9 Mine eye mourneth by reason 
of affliction: Lord, I have called 
daily upon thee, I have stretched 
out my hands unto thee. 

10 Wilt thou show wonders to 



which is good; and our land shall 
yield her increase. 

13 Eighteousness shall go before 
him, and shall set us in the way of 
his steps. 

PSALM LXXXVI. 
1 David strengthens his prayer by God's

continuance of his grace. 

1 A Prayer of David. 

BOW down thine ear, Lord, 
hear me; for I am poor and 
needy. 

2 Preserve my soul, for lam 2 holy: 

thou my God, save thy servant 
that trusteth in thee. 

3 Be merciful unto me, Lord: 
for I cry unto thee 3 daily. 

4 Eejoice the soul of thy servant: 
for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up 
my soul. 

5 For a thou, Lord, art good, and 
ready to forgive; and plenteous in 
mercy unto all them that call upon 
thee. 

6 Give ear, Lord, unto my 
prayer; and attend to the voice of 
my supplications. 

7 In the day of my trouble I will 
call upon thee: for thou wilt an- 
swer me. 

8 Among h the gods there is none 
like unto thee, Lord; neither are 
there any works like unto thy works. 

9 All c nations whom thou hast 
made shall come and worship be- 
fore thee, Lord; and shall glorify 
thy name. 

10 For thou art great, and doest 
wondrous things : d thou art God 
alone. 

11 Teach me thy way, Lord; 

1 will walk in thy truth: unite my 
heart to fear thy name. 

12 I will praise thee, Lord my 
God, with all my heart; and I will 
glorify thy name fox evermore. 

13 For great is thy mercy toward 
me; and thou hast 6 delivered my 
soul from the lowest 4 helh 

14 God, the proud are risen 
against me, and the assemblies of 
5 violent men have sought after my 
soul, and have not set thee before 
them. 

15 But/ thou, Lord, art a God 
full of compassion, and gracious, 
long-suffering, and plenteous in 
mercy and truth. 

16 turn unto me, and have 
mercy upon me; give thy strength 
unto thy servant, and save the son 
of thine handmaid. 

17 Show me a token for good; 
that they which hate me may see

I WILL sing of the mercies of 
the Lord for ever : with my 
mouth will I make known thy 
faithfulness 2 to all generations. 

2 For I have said, Mercy shall be 
built up for ever: thy faithfulness 
shalt thou establish in the very 
heavens. 

3 I have made a covenant with 
my chosen, I have b sworn unto 
David my servant, 

4 Thy seed will I establish for 
ever, and build up thy throne c to 
all generations. Selah. 

5 And the heavens shall praise 
thy wonders, Lord; thy faithful- 
ness also in the congregation of 
the saints. 

6 For who in the heaven can be 
compared unto the Lord ? who 
among the sons of the mighty can 
be likened unto the Lord? 

7 God is greatly to be feared in 
the assembly of the saints, and to 
be had in reverence of all them that 
are about him. 

8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a 
strong Lord like unto thee? or to 
thy faithfulness round about thee? 

9 Thou d rulest the raging of the 
sea: when the waves thereof arise, 
thou stillest them. 

10 Thou 6 hast broken 3 Eahab in 
pieces, as one that is slain; thou 
hast scattered thine enemies 4 with 
thy strong arm.

King. 

19 Then thou spakest in vision to 
thy Holy One, and saidst, I have 
laid help upon one that is mighty; 
I have exalted one chosen out of 
the people. 

20 I have found David my ser- 
vant; with my holy oil have I 
anointed him: 

21 With whom my hand shall be 
established; mine arm also shall 
strengthen him. 

22 The enemy shall not exact 
upon him; nor the son of wicked- 
ness afflict him.

31 If they 8 break my statutes, 
and keep not my command- 
ments; 

32 Then will I visit their trans- 
gression with the rod, and their 
iniquity with stripes. 

33 Nevertheless my loving-kind-

him, nor suffer my faithfulness 
10 to fail.

David.

and his throne as the sun before 
me. 

37 It 'shall be established for 
ever as the moon, and as a faithful 
witness in heaven. Selah. 

38 But thou hast cast off and 
abhorred, thou hast been wroth 
with thine anointed. 

39 Thou hast made void the 
covenant of thy servant; u thou 
hast profaned his crown by casting 
it to the ground. 

40 Thou hast broken down all 
his hedges; thou hast brought his 
strong holds to ruin. 

41 All that pass by the way spoil 
him: he is a reproach to his 
neighbours. 

42 Thou hast set up the right 
hand of his adversaries; thou 
hast made all his enemies to re- 
joice. 

43 Thou hast also turned the 
edge of his sword, and hast not 
made him to stand in the battle. 

44 Thou hast made his 12 glory to 
cease, and cast his throne down to 
the ground. 

45 The days of his youth hast 
thou shortened: thou hast covered 
him with shame. Selah. 

46 How long, Lord? wilt thou 
hide thyself for ever? shall thy 
wrath burn like fire? 

47 Kemember " how short my 
time is: wherefore hast thou made 
all men in vain? 

48 What man is he that liveth, and 
shall not w see death? shall he de- 
liver his soul from the hand of the 
grave? Selah. 

49 Lord, where are thy former lov- 
ing-kindnesses, which thou x swar- 
est unto David in thy truth?

of thy servants; how I do bear in 
my bosom the reproach of all the

l A Prayer of Moses the man of God. 

LOKD, thou hast been our 
dwelling place 2 in all gener- 
ations. 

2 Before the ° mountains were 
brought forth, or ever thou hadst 
formed the earth and the world, 
even from everlasting to everlast- 
ing, thou art God. 

3 Thou turnest man to destruc- 
tion; and sayest, b Keturn, ye 
children of men. 

4 For c a thousand years in thy 
sight are but as yesterday 3 when it 
is past, and as a watch in the 
night. 

5 Thou earnest them away as 
with a flood; they are as a sleep: 
in the morning they d are like grass 
which 4 groweth up. 

6 In 6 the morning it flourisheth, 
and groweth up; in the evening 
it is cut down, and withereth. 

7 For we are consumed by thine 
anger, and by thy wrath are we 
troubled. 

8 Thou /hast set our iniquities 
before thee, our 9 secret sins in the 
light of thy countenance. 

9 For all our days are 6 passed 
away in thy wrath; we spend our 
years c as a tale that is told. 

10 7 The days of our years are 
threescore years and ten; and if by 
reason of strength they be four- 
score years, yet is their strength 
labour and sorrow; for it is soon 
cut off, and we fly away. 

11 Who knoweth the power of 
thine anger? even according to thy 
fear, so is thy wrath. 

12 So h teach us to number our 
days, that we may 8 apply our 
hearts unto wisdom. 

13 Keturn, O Lord, how long ? 
and let it repent * thee concerning 
thy servants. 

14 O satisfy us early with thy 
mercy; that we may rejoice and be 
glad all our days. 

15 Make us glad according to the 
days wherein thou hast afflicted us, 
and the years wherein we have seen 
evil.

hands upon us; yea, the work of 
our hands establish thou it. 

PSALM XCL 

Happy state of the godly. 

HE that dwelleth in the secret 
place of the Most High shall 
1 abide under the shadow of the 
Almighty. 

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my 
refuge and my fortress: my God; in 
him will I trust. 

3 Surely he shall deliver thee 
from the snare of the fowler, and 
from the noisome pestilence. 

4 He a shall cover thee with his 
feathers, and under his wings shalt 
thou trust: his truth shall be thy 
shield and buckler. 

5 Thou 6 shalt not be afraid for 
the terror by night; nor for the 
arrow that fiieth by day; 

6 Nor for the pestilence that 
walketh in darkness ; nor for 
the destruction that wasteth at 
noon-day. 

7 A thousand shall fall at thy 
side, and ten thousand at thy right 
hand; but it shall not come nigh 
thee. 

8 Only c with thine eyes shalt thou 
behold and see the reward of the 
wicked. 

9 Because thou hast made the 
Lord which is my refuge, even the 
Most High, thy habitation; 

10 There d shall no evil befall 
thee, neither shall any plague 
come nigh thy dwelling. 

11 For 6 he shall give his angels 
charge over thee, to keep thee in 
all thy ways. 

12 They shall bear thee up in their 
hands, lest / thou dash thy foot 
against a stone. 

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion 
and 2 adder; the young lion and 
the dragon shalt thou trample 
under feet. 

14 Because he hath set his love 
upon me, therefore will I deliver 
him: I will set him on high, 
because he hath known my 
name. 

15 He g shall call upon me, and I 
will answer him: h I will be with 
him in trouble; I will deliver him, 
and » honour him. 

16 With 3 long life will I satisfy 
him, and show him my salvation.

A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. 

JT is a good thing to give thanks 

unto the Lord, and to sing 

praises unto thy name, O Most 

High: 

2 To show forth thy loving-kind- 
ness in the morning, and thy faith- 
fulness x every night, 

3 Upon an instrument of ten 
strings, and upon the psaltery; 
2 upon the harp with 3 a solemn 
sound. 

4 For thou, Lord, hast made me 
glad through thy work : I will 
triumph in the works of thy hands. 

5 O Lord, how great are thy 
works! and thy a thoughts are very 
deep. 

6 A b brutish man knoweth not; 
neither doth a fool understand 
this. 

7 When c the wicked spring as 
the grass, and when all the workers 
of iniquity do nourish; it t's^that 
they shall be destroyed for ever: 

8 But thou, Lord, art most high 
for evermore. 

.9 Fo'r, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, 
for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; 
all the workers of iniquity shall be 
scattered. 

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt 
like the horn o/an unicorn: I shall 
be anointed with fresh oil. 

11 Mine eye also shall see my de- 
sire on mine enemies, and mine 
ears shall hear my desire of the

PSALM XCIV. 

The prophet, calling for justice, complains 
of the tyranny and impiety of the wicked. 

OLOED * God, to whom ven- 
geance helongeth; O God, to 
whom vengeance helongeth, 2 show 
thyself. 

2 Lift up thyself, thou a Judge of 
the earth: render a reward to the 
proud. 

3 Lord, b how long shall the 
wicked, how long shall the wicked 
triumph? 

4 How long shall they e utter and 
speak hard things ? and all the 
workers of iniquity boast them- 
selves? 

5 They break in pieces thy people, 
Lord, and afflict thine heritage: 

6 They slay the widow and the 
stranger, and murder the fatherless. 

7 Yet they say, The Lord shall 
not see, neither shall the God of 
Jacob regard it. 

8 Understand, ye brutish among 
the people: and ye fools, when will 
ye be wise? 

9 He d that planted the ear, shall 
he not hear? he that formed the 
eye, shall he not see? 

10 He that chastiseth the heathen, 
shall not he correct ? he e that 
teacheth man knowledge, shall not 
he know? 

11 The t Lord knoweth the 
thoughts of man, that they are 
vanity. 

12 Blessed 9 is the man whom 
thou chastenest, Lord, and 
teachest him out of thy law; 

13 That thou mayest give him 
rest from the days of adversity, 
until the pit be digged for the 
wicked. 

14 For h the Lord will not cast off 
his people, neither will he forsake 
his inheritance: 

15 But judgment shall return unto 
righteousness; and all the upright 
in heart 3 shall follow it. 

16 Who will rise up for me against 
the evil-doers? or who will stand 
up for me against the workers of 
iniquity?

A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is over-

before the Loed. 

HEAK my prayer, O Lord, and 
let my cry come unto thee. 

2 Hide not thy face from me in 
the day when I am in trouble; in- 
cline thine ear unto me: in the 
day when I call answer me speeduy. 

3 For a my days are consumed 

1 like smoke, and 6 my bones are 
burned as an hearth. 

4 My heart is smitten, and with- 
ered like grass; so that I forget to 
eat my bread. 

5 By reason of the voice of my 
groaning my bones cleave to my 

2 skin. 

6 I am like a c pelican of the 
wilderness; I am like an owl of the 
desert. 

7 I watch, and am as a sparrow 
alone upon the house-top. 

8 Mine enemies reproach me all 
the day; and they that are mad 
against me d are sworn against me. 

9 For I have eaten ashes like 
bread, and mingled my drink with 
weeping, 

10 Because of thine indignation 
and thy wrath : for e thou hast 
lifted me up, and cast me down. 

11 My days are like a shadow that 
declineth; and /I am withered 
like grass. 

12 But thou, O Lord, shalt 9 en- 
dure for ever, and thy remem- 
brance unto all generations. 

13 Thou shalt arise, and have 
mercy upon Zion: for the time to 
favour her, yea, the set h time, is 
come. 

14 For thy * servants take pleasure 
in her stones, and favour the dust 
thereof.

9 He d will not always chide; 
neither will he keep his anger for

west, so far hath he / removed our 
transgressions from us. 

13 Like s as a father pitieth his 
children, so the Lord pitieth them 
that fear him. 

14 For he knoweth our frame; 
he remembereth that we are dust. 

15 As for man, his days are as 
glass; as a flower of the field, so he 
flourisheth: 

16 For the wind passe th over it, 
and 3 it is gone; and the place

and providence of God. 



4 Who c makcth his angels spirits; 
his ministers a flaming fire; 

5 1 Who laid the foundations of 
the earth, that it should not be 
removed for ever. 

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep 
as with a garment: the waters stood 
above the mountains. 

7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the 
voice of thy thunder they hasted 
away. 

8 2 They go up by the mountains; 
they go down by the valleys d unto 
the place which thou hast founded 
for them. 

9 Thou ' hast set a bound that 
they may not pass over; that they 
turn not again to /cover the 
earth. 

10 B He sendeth the springs into 
the valleys, which 4 run among the 
hills. 

11 They give drink to every beast 
of the field: the wild asses 5 quench 
their thirst. 

12 By them shall the fowls of the 
heaven have their habitation, 
which 6 sing among the branches. 

13 He watereth the hills from his 
chambers: the earth is satisfied 
with the fruit of thy works. 

14 He 9 causeth the grass to grow 
for the cattle, and herb for the ser- 
vice of man: that he may bring 
forth A food out of the earth; 

15 And * wine that maketh glad 
the heart of man, and 7 oil to make 
his face to shine, and bread which 
strengthened man's heart. 

16 The 8 trees of the Lord are full 
of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, 
which J he hath planted; 

17 Where the birds make their 
nests: as for the stork, the fir trees 
are her house. 

18 The high hills are a refuge for 
the wild goats, and the rocks for 
the * conies. 

19 He ' appointed the moon for 
seasons : the sun m knoweth his 
going down. 

20 Thou n makest darkness, and 
it is night: wherein 9 all the beasts 
of the forest do creep fort h. 

21 The ° young lions roar after 
their prey, and seek then' meat 
from God. 

22 The sun ariseth, they gather 
themselves together, and lay them 
down in their dens. 

23 Man goeth forth unto p his 
work and to his labour until the 
evening.

for his care of his people. 



9 Which / covenant he made with 
Abraham, and his oath unto 
Isaac; 

10 And confirmed the same unto 
Jacob for a law, and to Israel for 
an everlasting covenant; 

11 Saying, 9 Unto thee will I give 
the land of Canaan, x the lot of 
your inheritance: 

12 When h they were but a few 
men in number; yea, very few, 
and * strangers in it. 

13 When they went from one 
nation to another, from one king- 
dom to another people, 

14 He i suffered no man to do 
them wrong; yea, * he reproved 
kings for their sakes; 

15 Saying, Touch not mine an- 
ointed, and do my prophets no 
harm. 

16 Moreover l he called for a 
famine upon the land: he brake 
the whole "* staff of bread. 

17 He " sent a man before them, 
even Joseph, who ° was sold for a 
servant; 

18 Whose p feet they hurt with 
fetters: 2 he was laid in iron: 

19 Until the time that his word 
came: the word of the Lord tried 
him. 

20 The king sent and loosed him; 
even the ruler of the people, and 
let him go free. 

21 He made him lord of his house, 
and ruler of all his 3 substance; 

22 To bind his princes at his 
pleasure, and teach his senators 
wisdom. 

23 Israel q also came into Egypt; 
and Jacob sojourned in the land 
of Ham. 

24 And r he increased his people 
greatly, and made them stronger 
than their enemies. 

25 He turned their heart to hate 
his people, to deal subtilly with 
his servants. 

26 He sent Moses his servant, and 
Aaron whom * he had chosen. 

27 They showed * his signs among 
them, and wonders in the land of 
Ham. 

28 He sent darkness, and made it 
dark; and £ they rebelled not 
against his word. 

29 He turned their waters into 
blood, and slew their fish. 

m 30 Their land brought forth frogs 
in abundance in the chambers of 
their kings. 

31 He spake, and there came 
divers sorts of fries, and lice in all 
their coasts.

7 Our fathers understood not thy 
■wonders in Egypt; they remem- 
bered not the multitude of thy 
mercies; but provoked him at the 
sea, even at the Ked sea. 

8 Nevertheless he saved 9 them 
for his name's sake, that he might 
make his mighty power to be 
known. 

9 He h rebuked the Red sea also, 
and it was dried up: so * he led 
them through the depths, as 
through the wilderness. 

10 And he saved them from the 
hand of him that hated them, and 
redeemed them from the hand of 
the enemy. 

11 And the waters covered their 
enemies; there was not one of them 
left. 

12 Then believed they his words; 
they sang his praise. 

13 2 They soon forgat his works; 
they waited not for his counsel; 

14 But 3 lusted exceedingly in the 
wilderness, and tempted God in 
the desert. 

15 And he gave them their 
request; but sent i leanness into 
their soul. 

16 They * envied Moses also in 
the camp, and Aaron the saint of 
the Lord. 

17 The earth opened and swal- 
lowed up Dathan, and covered the 
company of Abiram. 

18 And a fire was kindled in their 
company; the flame burnt up the 
wicked. 

] 9 They l made a calf in Horeb, 
and worshipped the molten image. 

20 Thus m they changed their 
glory into the similitude of an ox 
that eateth grass. 

21 They forgat God their Saviour, 
which had done great things in 
Egypt; 

22 Wondrous works in the land 
of Ham, and terrible things by the 
Red sea. 

23 Therefore n he said that he 
would destroy them, had not Moses 
his chosen stood " before him in 
the breach, to turn away his wrath, 
lest he should destroy them. 

24 Yea, they despised 4 the pleas- 
ant land; they p believed not his 
word; 

25 But murmured in their tents, 
and hearkened not unto the voice 
of the Lord.

in the wilderness:

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and 
executed judgment : and so the 
plague w T as stayed. 

31 And that was counted unto 
him for righteousness unto all 
generations for evermore. 

32 They angered him also at the 
waters of strife, r so that it went 
ill with Moses for their sakes: 

33 Because they provoked his 
spirit, so that he 5 spake unad- 
visedly with his lips. 

34 They t did not destroy the 
nations, concerning u whom the 
Lord commanded them: 

35 But " were mingled among the 
heathen, and learned their works. 

36 And w they served their idols: 
which were a snare unto them. 

37 Yea, x they sacrificed their 
sons and their daughters unto 
devils, 

38 And shed innocent blood, even 
the blood of their sons and of their 
daughters, whom they sacrificed 
unto the idols of Canaan: and y the 
land was polluted with blood. 

39 Thus were they defiled with 
their own works, and went a 
whoring with their own inventions. 

40 Therefore was the wrath of 
the Lord kindled against his peo- 
ple, insomuch that he abhorred his 
own inheritance. 

41 And z he gave them into the 
hand of the heathen; and they 
that hated them ruled over them. 

42 Their enemies also oppressed 
them, and they were brought into 
subjection under their hand. 

43 Many times did he deliver 
them; but they provoked him with 
their counsel, and were 6 brought 
low for their iniquity. 

44 Nevertheless he regarded their 
affliction, when a he heard their 
cry:

PSALMS CVIII, CIX. David complains of his enemies. 



39 Again, they are " minished and 
brought low through oppression, 
affliction, and sorrow. 

40 He w poureth contempt upon 
princes, and causeth them to wan- 
der in the 6 wilderness, where there 
is no way. 

41 Yet x setteth he the poor on 
high 7 from affliction, and maketh 
him families like a flock. 

42 The y righteous shall see it, 
and rejoice; and all * iniquity 
shall stop her mouth. 

43 Whoso ° is wise, and will 
observe these things, even they 
shall understand the loving-kind- 
ness of the Lord.

A Song or Psalm of David. 

OGOD, my heart is fixed; I will 
sing and give praise, even with 
my glory. 

2 Awake, psaltery and harp; I 
myself will awake early. 

3 I will praise thee, Lord, 
among the people: and I will sing 
praises unto thee among the na- 
tions. 

4 For thy a mercy is great above 
the heavens, and thy truth reacheth 
unto the x clouds. 

5 Be b thou exalted, God, above 
the heavens; and thy glory above 
all the earth; 

6 That thy beloved may be 
delivered : save with thy right 
hand, and answer me. 

7 God hath spoken in his holiness; 
I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, 
and mete out the valley of Succoth. 

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is 
mine; Ephraim also is the strength 
of mine head; Judah c is my law- 
giver; 

9 Moab is my washpot; over 
Edom will I cast out my shoe; 
over Philistia will I triumph. 

10 Who d will bring me into the 
strong city? who will lead me into 
Edom? 

11 Wilt not thou, God, who hast 
cast us off? and wilt not thou, 
God, go forth with our hosts? 

12 Give us help from trouble: for 
vain e is the help of man. 

13 Through God we shall do 
valiantly: for he * it is that shall 
tread down our enemies.

2 For the mouth of the wicked

2 are opened against me: they have 
spoken against me with a lying 
tongue. 

3 They compassed me about also 
with words of hatred; and fought

4 For my love they are my ad- 
versaries: but I give myself unto

6 Set thou a wicked man over 
him; and let 3 Satan stand at his

7 When he shall be judged, let 
him 4 be condemned; and d let his 
prayer become sin. 

8 Let his days be few; and e let 
another take his 5 office. 

9 Let / his children be fatherless, 
and his wife a widow. 

10 Let his children be continually 
9 vagabonds, and beg : let them 
seek their bread also out of their 
desolate places. 

11 Let h the extortioner catch all 
that he hath; and let the stranger 
spoil his labour. 

12 Let there be none to extend 
mercy unto him; neither let there 
be any to favour his fatherless chil- 
dren. 

13 Let * his posterity be cut off; 
and in the generation following 
let their i name be blotted out. 

14 Let * the iniquity of his fathers 
be remembered with the Lord; 
and let not the sin of his mother 
be l blotted out. 

15 Let them be before the Lord 
continually, that he may m cut off 
the memory of them from the 
earth. 

16 Because that he remembered 
not to show mercy, but persecuted 
the poor and needy man, that he 
might even slay the broken in 
heart. 

17 As he loved cursing, so let it 
come unto him; as he delighted 
not in blessing, so let it be far from 
him. 

18 As he clothed himself with 
cursing like as with his garment, 
so let it come 6 into his bowels like 
water, and like oil into his bones. 

19 Let it be unto him as the gar- 
ment which covereth him, and for

continually.

21 But do thou for me, God 
the Lord, for thy name's sake: be- 
cause thy mercy is good, deliver 
thou me. 

22 For I am poor and needy, and 
my heart is -wounded within me. 

23 I am gone like the shadow 
when it declineth: I am tossed up 
and down as the locust. 

24 My n knees are weak through 
fasting; and my flesh faileth of fat- 
ness. 

25 I became also a reproach unto 
them: when they looked upon me 
they ° shaked their heads. 

26 Help me, Lord my God: 
save me according to thy mercy; 

27 That p they may know that 
this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, 
hast done it. 

28 Let them curse, but bless thou: 
when they arise, let them be 
ashamed ; but let thy q servant 
rejoice. 

29 Let mine adversaries be 
clothed with shame, and let them 
cover themselves with their own 
confusion, as with a mantle. 

30 I will greatly praise the Lord 
with my mouth; yea, I will praise 
him among the multitude.

heart, in the assembly of the up- 
right, and in the congregation. 

2 The a works of the Lord are 
great, sought out of all them that 
have pleasure therein. 

3 His work is honourable and 
glorious; and his righteousness 
endureth for ever. 

4 He hath made his wonderful 
works to be remembered: the 
Lord is gracious, and full of com- 
passion. 

5 He hath given 2 meat unto them 
that fear him: he will ever be 
mindful of his covenant. 

6 He hath showed his people the 
power of his works, that he may 
give them the heritage of the 
heathen. 

7 The works of his hands are 
verity and judgment : b all his 
commandments are sure. 

8 They 3 stand fast for ever and 
ever, and are c done in truth and 
uprightness. 

9 He sent redemption unto his 
people : he hath commanded his 
covenant for ever: holy and reve- 
rend is his name.

8 That he may c set him with

people. 

9 He^maketh the barren woman

3 But c our God is in the heavens: 
he hath done whatsoever he hath 
pleased. 

4 Their a idols are silver and gold, 
the work of men's hands. 

5 They have mouths, but they 
speak not; eyes have they, but 
they see not; 

6 They have ears, but they hear- 
not; noses have they, but they smell 
not; 

7 They have hands, but they 
handle not; feet have they, but 
they walk not; neither speak they 
through their throat. 

8 They 6 that make them are like 
unto them; so is every one that 
trusteth in them. 

9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord:

10 O 9 house of Aaron, trust in

11 Ye that fear the Lord, trust

24 This is * the day which the 
Lord hath made; we will rejoice 
and be glad in it. 

25 Save now, I beseech thee, 
Lord: Lord, I beseech thee, send 
now prosperity. 

26 Blessed M be he that cometh in 
the name of the Lord: we have 
blessed you out of the house of the 
Lord. 

27 God is the Lord, which hath 
showed us v light: bind the sacri- 
fice with cords, even unto the horns 
of the altar. 

28 Thou art my God, and I will 
praise thee: w thou art my God, I 
will exalt thee. 

29 give thanks unto the Lord; 
for he is good: for his mercy endureth 
for ever.

PSALM CXXXVIL 

Constancy of the Jews in captivity. 

BY a the rivers of Babylon, there 
we sat down; yea, we wept, 
when we remembered Zion. 

2 We hanged our 6 harps upon 
the willows in the midst thereof 

3 For there they that carried us 
away captive required of us 1 a 
song; and they that 2 wasted us 
required of us mirth, saying, Sing us 
one of the songs of Zion. 

4 How shall we sing the Lord's 
song in a 3 strange land? 

5 If I forget thee, Jerusalem, 
let my right hand forget her cun- 
ning. 

6 If I do not remember thee, let 
my e tongue cleave to the roof of 
my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusa- 
lem above i my chief joy.

dren of Edom in the day of Jeru-

it, even to the foundation there-

I WILL praise thee with my

will I sing praise unto thee. 

2 I will worship 6 toward thy 
holy temple, and praise thy name 
for thy loving-kindness and for 
thy truth: for thou hast magnified 
thy c word above all thy name. 

3 In the day when I cried thou 
answeredst me, and d strengthen- 
edst me with strength in my soul. 

4 All the kings of the earth shall 
praise thee, O Lord, when they 
hear the words of thy mouth. 

5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways 
of the Lord: for great is the glory 
of the Lord. 

6 Though the Lord be high, yet 
hath e he respect unto the lowly: 
but the proud he knoweth afar off. 

7 Though / I walk in the midst 
of trouble, thou wilt revive me; 
thou shalt stretch forth thine hand 
against the wrath of mine enemies, 
and thy right hand shall save me. 

8 The 9 Lord will perfect thai 
which concerneth me: thy mercy 
O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake 
not the works of thine own hands 

PSALM CXXXIX. 

David praises God for his all -seeing 

providence. 
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 

OLOKD, "thou hast searched 
me, and known me. 

2 Thou b knowest my down-sit- 
ting and mine up -rising, thou 
understandest c my thought afar 
off, 

3 Thou * compassest my path 
and my lying down, and art 
acquainted with all my ways. 

4 For there is not a word in my 
tongue, but, lo, O Lord, d thou 
knowest it altogether. 

5 Thou hast beset me behind and 
before, and laid thine hand upon 
me. 

6 Such knowledge is too wonder- 
ful for me; it is high, I cannot 
attain unto it. 

7 Whither shall I go from thy 
Spirit? or whither shall I flee from 
thy presence? 

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou 
art there: e if I make my bed in

lead me, and thy right hand shall

11 If 1 say, Surely the darkness 
shall cover me; even the night 
shall he light about me. 

12 Yea, the darkness 2 hideth not 
from thee; but the night shineth 
as the day: 3 the darkness and the 
light are both alike to thee. 

13 For thou hast possessed my 
reins: thou hast covered me in my 
mother's womb. 

14 I will praise thee; for I am 
fearfully and wonderfully made: 
marvellous are thy works; and 
that my soul knoweth 4 right 
well 

15 My 5 substance was not hid 
from thee, when I was made in 
secret, and curiously wrought in 
the lowest parts of the earth; 

16 Thine eyes did see my sub- 
stance, yet being unperfect; and 
in thy book 6 all my members were 
written, 7 which in continuance 
were fashioned, when as yet there 
was none of them. 

17 How precious also are thy 
thoughts unto me, God! how 
great is the sum of them! 

13 If I should count them, they 
are more in number than the sand: 
when I awake, I am still with 
thee. 

19 Surely thou wilt /slay the 
wicked, God: depart from me 
therefore, ye bloody men. 

20 For they 9 speak against thee 
wickedly, and thine enemies take 
thy name in vain. 

21 Do not I hate them, Lord, 
that hate thee? and am not 1 
grieved with those that rise up 
against thee? 

22 1 hate them with perfect 
hatred; I count them mine 
enemies. 

23 Search ft me, God, and know 
my heart; try me, and know my 
thoughts; 

24 And see if there be any 8 wicked 
way in me, and * lead me in the 
way everlasting.

3 When my spirit was over-

wherein I walked have they privily 
laid a snare for me. 

4 2 I looked on my right hand,

3 failed me; i no man cared for my

3 He b healeth the broken in

grow upon the mountains. 

9 He * giveth to the beast his 
food, and to i the young ravens 
which cry. 

10 He *delighteth not in the 
strength of the horse; he taketh 
not pleasure in the legs of a man. 

11 The Lord taketh pleasure in 
them that fear him, in those that 
hope in his mercy.

borders, and filleth thee with 5 the 
finest of the wheat. 

15 He J sendeth forth his com- 
mandment upon earth; his word 
runneth very swiftly. 

16 He giveth snow like wool: he 
scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. 

17 He casteth forth his ice like 
morsels: who can stand before his 
cold? 

18 He sendeth out his word, and 
melteth them: he causeth his wind 
to blow, and the waters flow. 

19 He showeth 6 his word unto 
Jacob, his "* statutes and his judg- 
ments unto Israel 

20 He n hath not dealt so with 
any nation: and as for his judg- 
ments, they have not known 
them. Praise ye the Lord.

CHAPTER I. 

7 Exhortation to fear God, and regard 
parents. 20 Wisdom complains of the 
contempt of scorners. 

THE a Proverbs of Solomon the 
son of David, king of Israel; 

2 To know wisdom and instruc- 
tion; to perceive the words of 
understanding; 

3 To h receive the instruction of 
wisdom, justice, and judgment, 
and x equity; 

4 To give subtilty to the simple, 
to the young man knowledge and 

2 discretion. 

5 A wise man will hear, and will 
increase learning; and a man of 
understanding shall attain unto 
wise counsels: 

6 To understand a proverb, and 

3 the interpretation; the words of 
the wise, and their dark sayings. 

7 ^ The fear of the Lord is 4 the 
beginning of knowledge: but fools 
despise wisdom and instruction. 

8 My son, hear the instruction of 
thy father, and forsake not the law 
of thy mother: 

9 For they shall be 5 an ornament 
of grace unto thy head, and chains 
about thy neck. 

10 If My son, if sinners entice 
thee, c consent thou not. 

11 If they say, Come with us, let d us 
lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily 
for the innocent without cause: 

12 Let us swallow them up alive 
as the grave; and whole, e as those 
that go down into the pit: 

13 We shall find all precious

14 Cast in thy lot among us; let 
us all have one purse: 

15 My son, / walk not thou in the 
way with them; refrain thy foot 
from their path: 

16 For g their feet run to evil, and 
make haste to shed blood: 

17 (Surely in vain the net is 
spread G in the sight of any bird:) 

18 And they lay wait for their 
own blood; they lurk privily for 
their own lives. 

19 So h are the ways of every one 
that is greedy of gain; which taketh 
away the life of the owners thereof. 

20 <f 7 Wisdom crieth without; she 
uttereth her voice in the streets: 

21 She crieth in the chief place of 
concourse, in the openings of the 
gates: in the city she uttereth her 
words, saying, 

22 How long, ye simple ones, will 
ye love simplicity ? and the scorners 
delight in their scorning, and fools 
hate knowledge? 

23 Turn you at my reproof: be- 
hold, * I will pour out my Spirit 
unto you, I will make known my 
words unto you. 

24 1f Because i I have called, and 
ye refused; I have stretched out 
my hand, and no man regarded; 

25 But ye * have set at nought all 
my counsel, and would none of my 
reproof: 

26 I also will laugh at your 
calamity; I will mock when your 
fear cometh; 



Of the excellency 



PROVERBS, n, m. 



and benefits of wisdom. 



27 When your fear cometh as 
desolation, and your destruction 
cometh as a whirlwind ; when 
distress and anguish cometh upon 
you. 

28 Then l shall they call upon 
me, but I will not answer; they 
shall seek me early, but they shall 
not find me: 

29 For that they m hated know- 
ledge, and did not choose the fear 
of the Lord: 

30 They would none of my coun- 
sel; they despised all my reproof: 

31 Therefore n shall they eat of 
the fruit of their own way, and be 
filled with their own devices. 

32 For the s turning away of the 
simple shall slay them, and the 
prosperity of fools shall destroy 
them. . 

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto 
me shall dwell safely, and shall be 
quiet from fear of evil. 

CHAPTER IL 

Wisdom promises godliness and direction 

to her children. 

MY son, if thou wilt receive my 
words, and hide my com- 
mandments with thee; 

2 So that thou incline thine ear 
unto wisdom, awe? apply thine heart 
to understanding; 

3 Yea, if thou criest after know- 
ledge, and x liftest up thy voice for 
understanding; 

4 If a thou seekest her as silver, 
and searchest for her as for hid 
treasures; 

5 Then shalt thou understand the 
fear of the Lord, and find the 
knowledge of God. 

6 For h the Lord giveth wisdom: 
out of his mouth cometh knowledge 
and understanding. 

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for 
the righteous: c he is & buckler to 
them that walk uprightly-. 

8 He keepeth the paths of judg- 
ment, and preserveth d the way of 
his saints. 

9 Then shalt thou understand 
righteousness, and judgment, and 
equity; yea, every good path. 

10 51 When wisdom entereth into 
thine heart, and knowledge is 
pleasant unto thy soul; 

11 Discretion shall preserve thee, 
imderstanding e shall keep thee: 

12 To deliver thee from the way 
of the evil man, from the man that 
speaketh froward things; 

13 Who leave the paths of up- 
rightness, to walk / in the ways of 
darkness;

2 For length of days, and : long 
life, and peace, shall they add to 
thee. 

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake

2 good understanding in the sight

CHAPTEE IY. 

1 Solomon, to persuade obedience, 3 shows 
what instruction he had of his parents. 

HEAE, a ye children, the instruc- 
tion of a father, and attend to 
know understanding. 

2 For I give you good doctrine, 
forsake ye not my law. 

3 For I was my father's son, h ten- 
der and only beloved in the sight of 
my mother. 

4 He c taught me also, and said 
unto me, Let thine heart retain 
my words: keep my command- 
ments, and five. 

5 Get wisdom, get understanding: 
forget it not; neither decline from 
the words of my mouth. 

6 Forsake her not, and she shall 
preserve thee: d love her, and she 
shall keep thee. 

7 Wisdom 6 is the principal thing; 
therefore get wisdom: and with all 
thy getting get understanding. 

8 Exalt * her, and she shall pro- 
mote thee; she shall bring thee to 
honour, when thou dost embrace 
her. 

9 She shall give to thine head an 
ornament of grace: 1 a crown of 
glory shall she deliver to thee. 

10 Hear, O my son, and receive 
my sayings; and the years of thy 
life shall be many. 

Ill have taught thee in the way 
of wisdom; I have led thee in right 
paths. 

12 When thou goest, 9 thy steps 
shall not be straitened; h and when 
thou runnest, thou shalt not stum- 
ble. 

13 Take fast hold of instruction; 
let her not go: keep her; for she is 
thy life.

the wicked, and go not in the way 
of evil men.

from it, and pass away.

19 The * way of the wicked is as

20 if My son, attend to my words;

21 Let them not depart from

of thine heart: 

22 For they are life unto those

their flesh. 

23 if Keep thy heart 3 with all 
diligence; for out of it are the issues

24 Put away from thee 4 a fro- 
ward mouth, and perverse lips put

CHAPTER V. 
Solomon exhorts to study wisdom. 

MY son, attend unto my wisdom, 
and bow thine ear to my un- 
derstanding; 

2 That thou mayest regard discre- 
tion, and that thy lips may a keep 
knowledge. 

3 if For the lips of a strange wo- 
man drop as an honey-comb, and 
her x mouth is smoother than oil: 

4 But her end is b bitter as worm- 
wood, sharp c as a two-edged 
sword. 

5 Her feet go down d to death; 
her steps take hold on hell. 

6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the 
path of life, her ways are moveable, 
that thou canst not know them. 

7 Hear me now therefore, ye 
children, and depart not from the 
words of my mouth. 

8 Remove thy way far from her, 
and come not nigh the door of her 
house; 

9 Lest thou give thine honour

9 How long wilt thou sleep, 
sluggard? when wilt thou arise out 
of thy sleep? 

10 Yet a little sleep, a little slum- 
ber, a little folding of the hands to 
sleep: 

11 So shall thy poverty come as 
one that travelleth, and thy want 
as an armed man. 

12 f A naughty person, a wicked 
man, walketh with a froward 
mouth. 

13 He * winketh with his eyes, he 
speaketh with his feet, he teacheth

14 Frowardness is in his heart, 
he t deviseth mischief continually; 
he 2 soweth discord. 

15 Therefore shall his calamity 
come suddenly; suddenly shall he 
be 9 broken without remedy.

Lord hate; yea, seven are an 
abomination 3 unto him:

18 An i heart that deviseth 
wicked imaginations, * feet that

20 If My "' son, keep thy father's 
commandment, and forsake not

21 Bind them continually upon 
thine heart, and tie them about 
thy neck. 

22 When thou goest, it shall lead 
thee; when thou sleepest, it shall 
keep thee; and when thou awakest, 
it shall talk with thee. 

23 For n the commandment is a 
5 lamp; and the law is light; and 
reproofs of instruction are ''the way

1 Solomon persuades to a sincere famil-

MY son, keep my words, and

2 Keep ° my commandments,

said unto him, 

14 4 / have peace offerings with 
me; this day haye I paid my vows: 

15 Therefore came I forth to meet 
thee, diligently to seek thy face, 
and I have found thee. 

16 I have decked my hed with 
coverings of tapestry, with carved 
works, with h fine linen of Egypt. 

17 I have perfumed my hed with 
myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 

18 Come, let us take our fill of 
love until the morning; let us 
solace ourselves with loves: 

19 For the goodman is not at 
home, he is gone a long journey: 

20 He hath taken a bag of money 
5 with him, and will come home 
at 6 the day appointed. 

21 With her much fair speech she 
caused him to yield, with the flat- 
tering of her lips she forced him. 

22 He goeth after her 7 straight- 
way, as an ox goeth to the slaugh- 
ter, or as a fool to the correction of 
the stocks; 

23 Till a dart strike through his 
liver; as a bird hasteth to the 
snare, and knoweth not that it is 
for his life. 

24 f Hearken unto me now 
therefore, ye children, and at- 
tend to the words of my mouth. 

25 Let not thine heart decline to 
her ways, go not astray in her 
paths: 

26 For she hath cast down many

have been slain by her.

13 % A foolish woman is clamor- 
ous; she is simple, and knoweth

14 For she sitteth at the door of 
her house, on a seat in the high 
places of the city, 

15 To call passengers who go 
right on their ways: 

16 Whoso is simple, let him turn 
in hither: and as for him that

CHAPTER X. 
From this chapter to the five and twentieth 
are sundry observations of virtues, and 
their contrary vices. 

THE Proverbs of Solomon. A 
wise son maketh a glad father: 
but a foolish son its the heaviness 
of his mother. 

2 Treasures a of wickedness profit 
nothing: 6 but righteousness de- 
livereth from death. 

3 The c Lord will not suffer the 
soul of the righteous to famish: 
but he casteth away Hhe substance 
of the wicked. 

4 He becometh poor that dealeth 
with a slack hand: but d the hand 
of the diligent maketh rich. 

5 He that gathereth in summer is 
a wise son: but he that sleepeth 
in harvest is a son that causeth 
shame. 

6 Blessings are upon the head of 
the just: but e violence covereth 
the mouth of the wicked. 

7 The f memory of the just is 
blessed: but the name of the wicked 
shall rot. 

8 The wise in heart will receive 
commandments: but 2 a prating 
fool 3 shall fell. 

9 He s that walketh uprightly 
walketh surely: but he that per- 
verteth his ways shall be known. 

10 He that winketh with the eye 
causeth sorrow: but a prating fool 
4 shall fall. 

11 The A mouth of a righteous 
man is a well of life: but * violence 
covejeth the mouth of the wicked. 

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but 
love '" covereth all sins. 

13 In the * lips of him that hath 



Various moral excellencies 



PEO VERBS, XL 



and t/ieir opposites described. 



understanding wisdom is found: 
but a rod is for the back of him 
that is void of 5 understanding. 

14 Wise men lay up knowledge: 
but the mouth of the foolish is 
near destruction. 

15 The l rich man's wealth is his 
j strong city: the destruction of the 
I poor is their poverty. 

16 The labour of the righteous 
tendeth to life: the fruit of the 
wicked to sin. 

17 He is in the way of life that 
keepeth instruction: but he that 
refuseth reproof 6 erreth. 

18 He that hideth hatred with 
lying lips, and he that uttereth a 
slander, is a fool. 

19 In m the multitude of words 
there wanteth not sin: but n he 
that refraineth his lips is wise. 

20 The tongue of the just is as 
choice silver: the heart of the 
wicked is little worth. 

21 The lips of the righteous feed 
many: but fools die for want 7 of 
wisdom. 

22 The ° blessing of the Lord, it 
maketh rich, and he addeth no 
sorrow with it. 

23 It is as sport to a fool to do 
mischief: but a man of under- 
standing hath wisdom. 

24 The p fear of the wicked, it 
shall come upon him: but 9 the 
desire of the righteous shall be 
granted. 

25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is 
the wicked no more: but r the 
righteous is an everlasting founda- 
tion. 

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and 
as smoke to the eyes, so is the 
sluggard to them that send him. 

27 The fear of the Lord 8 prolong- 
eth days: but s the years of the 
wicked shall be shortened. 

28 The ? hope of the righteous 
shall be gladness: but the w expec- 
tation of the wicked shall per- 
ish. 

29 The way of the Lord v is 
strength to the upright: w but 
destruction shall be to the workers 
of iniquity. 

30 The righteous shall never be 
removed: but the wicked shall not 
inhabit the earth. 

31 The mouth of the just bringeth 
forth wisdom: but the froward 
tongue shall be cut out. 

32 The lips of the righteous know 
what is acceptable: but the mouth 
of the wicked speaketh 9 froward- 
ness.

CHAPTER XL 

A 1 FALSE balance is abomina- 
tion to the Lord: but 2 a just 
weight is his delight. 

2 When a pride cometh, then 
cometh shame: but with the lowly 
is wisdom. 

3 The integrity of the upright 
shall guide them: but the per- 
verseness of transgressors shall 
destroy them. 

4 Riches b profit not in the day of 
wrath: but c righteousness deli ver- 
eth from death. 

5 The righteousness of the perfect 
shall 3 direct his way: but the 
wicked shall fall by his own 
wickedness. 

6 The d righteousness of the up- 
right shall deliver them : e but 
transgressors shall be taken in their 
own naughtiness. 

7 "When a wicked man dieth, his 
expectation shall perish; and the 
hope of unjust men perisheth. 

8 The righteous is delivered out 
of trouble, and the wicked cometh 
in his stead. 

9 An t hypocrite with his mouth 
destroyeth his neighbour : but 
through knowledge shall the just 
be delivered. 

10 When 9 it goeth well with the 
righteous, the city rejoicetn; and 
when the wicked perish, there is 
shouting. 

11 By the blessing of the upright 
the city is exalted: but it is over- 
thrown by the mouth of the 
wicked. 

12 He that is * void of wisdom 
despiseth his neighbour: but a 
man of understanding holdeth his 
peace. 

13 5 A talebearer revealeth secrets: 
but he that is of a faithful spirit 
concealeth the matter. 

14 Where h no counsel is, the 
people fall: but in the multitude 
of counsellors there is safety. 

15 He that is surety for a stranger 
6 shall smart for it; and he that 
hateth 7 suretiship is sure. 

16 A gracious woman retaineth 
honour; and strong men retain 
riches. 

17 The * merciful man doeth good 
to his own soul: but he thai is cruel 
troubleth his own flesh. 

18 The wicked worketh a deceit- 
ful work: but i to him that soweth 
righteousness shall be a sure reward. 

19 As righteousness tendeth to life; 
so he that pursueth evil pursueth it 
to his own death.

20 They that are of a froward 
heart are abomination to the Lord: 
but such as are upright in their way

21 Though hand join in hand, the 
wicked shall not be unpunished: 
but the seed of the righteous shall

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's

7 Go from the presence of a fool-

8 The wisdom of the prudent is

16 A n wise man feareth, and de- 
parteth from evil: but the fool

devices is hated. 

18 The simple inherit folly: but 
the prudent are crowned with 
knowledge. 

19 The evil bow before the good;

righteous. 

20 The ° poor is hated even of his 
own neighbour: but 2 the rich hath 
many friends. 

21 He that despiseth his neigh- 
bour sinneth: p but he that hath 
mercy on the poor, happy is he. 

22 Do they not err that devise 
evil? but mercy and truth shall be 
to them that devise good. 

23 In all labour there is profit:

A SOFT answer turneth away 
wrath: but grievous words stir 
up anger. 

2 The tongue of the wise useth 
knowledge aright: but the mouth 
of fools 1 poureth out foolishness. 

3 The a eyes of the Lord are in 
everyplace, beholding the evil and 
the good. 

4 2 A wholesome tongue is a tree 
of life: but perverseness therein is 
a breach in the spirit 

5 A fool despiseth his father's 
instruction: but he that regardeth 
reproof is prudent. 

6 In the house of the righteous is 
much treasure: but in the revenues 
of the wicked is trouble. 

7 The lips of the wise disperse 
knowledge: but the heart of the 
foolish doeth not so. 

8 The b sacrifice of the wicked is 
an abomination to the Lord: c but 
the prayer of the upright is his 
delight. 

9 The way of the wicked is an 
abomination unto the Lord: but 
he loveth him that d followeth 
after righteousness. 

10 3 Correction is grievous unto 
him that forsaketh the way: and 
he that hateth reproof shall die. 

11 Hell and destruction are before 
the Lord: how much more then 
the e hearts of the children of men? 

12 A scorner loveth not one that 
reproveth him; neither will he go 
unto the wise. 

13 A merry heart maketh a cheer- 
ful countenance: but by sorrow of 
the heart the spirit is broken. 

14 The heart of him that hath 
understanding seeketh knowledge: 
but the mouth of fools feedeth on 
foolishness. 

15 All the days of the afflicted 
are evil: but he that is of a merry 
heart hath a continual feast. 

16 Better / is little with the fear 
of the Lord, than great treasure, 
and trouble therewith. 

17 Better is a dinner of herbs 
where love is, than a stalled ox 
and hatred therewith. 

18 A wrathful man stirreth up 
strife: but he that is slow to anger 
appeaseth strife. 

19 The way of the slothful man is 
as an hedge of thorns: but the way 
of the righteous 4 is made plain.

21 Folly is joy to him that is 5 des-

22 Without counsel purposes are

23 A man hath joy by the answer 
of his mouth; and a word spoken 
6 in due season, how good is it! 

24 The h way of life is above to

25 The Lord will destroy the

26 The thoughts of the wicked

ant words. 

27 He * that is greedy of gain

29 The Lord is k far from the

. 30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth 
the heart; and a good report ma- 
keth the bones fat. 

31 The ear that heareth the re-

32 He that refuseth 8 instruction 
despiseth his own soul: but he that 
9 heareth reproof 10 getteth under-

instruction of wisdom; and before 
honour is humility. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

THE 1 preparations of the heart

2 All the ways of a man are clean 
in his own eyes: but the 6 Lord 
weigheth the spirits. 

3 2 Commit thy works unto the 
Lord, and thy thoughts shall be 
established. 

4 The c Lord hath made all things 
for himself; d yea, even the wicked

5 Every one that is proud in heart

8 Better is a little with righteous- 
ness, than great revenues without 
right. 

9 A man's heart deviseth his way: 
but 9 the Lord directeth his steps. 

10 4 A divine sentence is in the 
lips of the king: his mouth trans- 
gresseth not in judgment. 

11 A A just weight and balance 
are the Lord's; 5 all the weights of 
the bag are his work. 

12 It is an abomination to kings 
to commit wickedness : for the i 
throne is established by righteous- 
ness. 

13 Righteous lips are the delight 
of kings; and they love him that 
speaketh right 

14 The wrath of a king is as mes- 
sengers of death: but a wise man 
will pacify it. 

15 In the light of the king's coun- 
tenance is life; and his favour is 
as a cloud of the latter rain. 

16 How much better is it to get 
wisdom than gold ? and to get 
understanding rather to be chosen 
than silver? 

17 The i highway of the upright 
is to depart from evil: he that 
keepeth his way preserveth his 
soul. 

18 Pride goeth before destruction, 
and an haughty spirit before a fall. 

19 Better it is to be of an humble 
spirit with the lowly, than to 
divide the spoil with the proud. 

20 6 He that handleth a matter 
wisely shall find good; and whoso 
trusteth i in the Lord, happy is he. 

21 The wise in heart shall be 
called prudent; and the sweetness 
of the lips increaseth learning. 

22 Understanding is a well-spring 
of life unto him that hath it: but 
the instruction of fools is folly. 

23 The * heart of the wise 7 teach- 
eth his mouth, and addeth learning 
to his lips. 

24 Pleasant words are as an honey- 
comb, sweet to the soul, and health 
to the bones. 

25 There is a way that seemeth 
right unto a man; but the end 
thereof are the ways of death. 

26 8 He that laboureth, laboureth 
for himself; for his mouth 9 craveth 
it of him.

evil; and in his lips there is as a

and a whisperer separateth chief 
friends. 

29 A violent man enticeth his 
neighbour, and leadeth him into 
the way that is not good. 

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise 
froward things; moving his lips he 
bringeth evil to pass. 

31 The hoary head is a crown of 
glory, if it be found in the way of 
righteousness. 

32 He that is slow to anger is better 
than the mighty; and he that 
ruleth his spirit than he that ta- 

•keth a city. 

33 The lot is cast into the lap; but 
the whole disposing thereof is of 
the Lord. 

CHAPTEE XVII. 

BETTEE is a dry morsel, and 
quietness therewith, than an

2 A wise servant shall have rule 
over a son that causeth shame, 
and shall have part of the inherit- 
ance among the brethren. 

3 The * fining pot is for silver, 
and the furnace for gold: but the 
Lord trieth the hearts. 

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to 
false lips; and a liar giveth ear to 
a naughty tongue. 

5 Whoso mocketh the poor re- 
proachethhis Maker; and h he that 
is glad at calamities shall not be 
2 unpunished. 

6 Children's children are the 
crown of old men; and the glory 
of children are their fathers. 

7 3 Excellent speech becometh not 
a fool; much less do i lying lips a 
prince. 

8 A gift is as 5 a precious stone in 
the eyes of him that hath it; 
whithersoever it turneth, it c pros- 
pereth. 

9 He that covereth a transgression 
6 seeketh love: but he that repeat- 
eth a matter separateth very friends. 

10 7 A reproof entereth more into 
a wise man than a hundred stripes 
into a fool. 

11 An evil man seeketh only 
rebellion; therefore a cruel mes- 
senger shall be sent against him.

and he that condemneth the just, 
even they both are abomination to 
the Lord. 

16 Wherefore is there a price in the 
hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing 
he hath no heart to it? 

17 A friend loveth at all times, and 
a brother is bom for adversity. 

18 A man void of 8 understanding 
striketh hands, and becometh sure- 
ty in the presence of his friend. 

19 He loveth transgression tha,t 
loveth strife: and he that exalteth 
his gate seeketh destruction. 

20 9 He that hath a froward heart 
findeth no good; and he that hath 
a perverse tongue falleth into mis- 
chief. 

21 He that begetteth a fool doeth 
it to his sorrow; and the father of a 
fool hath no joy. 

22 A merry heart doeth good 
10 like a medicine: but a broken 
spirit drieth the bones. 

23 A wicked man taketh a gift 
out of the bosom 9 to pervert the 
ways of judgment. 

24 Wisdom h is before him that 
hath understanding: but the eyes 
of a fool are in the ends of the 
earth. 

25 A foolish son is a grief to his 
father, and bitterness to her that 
'bare him. 

26 Also to punish the just is not 
good, nor to strike princes for 
equity. 

27 He * that hath knowledge 
spareth his words: and a man of 
understanding is of u an excellent 
spirit. 

28 Even a fool, when he holdeth 
his peace, is counted wise; and he 
that shutteth his lips is esteemed a 
man of understanding.

4 The words of a man's mouth 
are as deep waters, ° and the well-

brook; 

5 It 6 is not good to accept the

the righteous in judgment.

tion, and his mouth calleth for

7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, 
and his lips are the snare of his soul. 

8 The words of a 2 talebearer are 
3 as wounds, and they go down

9 He also that is slothful in his 
work is brother to him that is a 
great waster. 

10 The c name of the Lord is a 
strong tower: the righteous runneth 
into it, and 5 is safe. 

11 The rich man's wealth is his 
, strong city, and as an high wall in 

his own conceit. 

12 Before destruction the heart of 
man is haughty, and before honour 
is humility. 

13 He that 6 answereth a matter 
before he heareth it, it is folly and 
shame unto him. 

14 The spirit of a man will sustain 
his infirmity: but a wounded spirit 
who can bear? 

15 The d heart of the prudent 
getteth knowledge; and the ear of 
the wise seeketh knowledge. 

16 A e man's gift maketh room 
for him, and bringeth him before 
great men. 

17 Be that is first in his own cause 
seemeth just; but his neighbour 
cometh and searcheth him. 

18 The lot causeth contentions to 
cease, and parteth between the 
mighty. 

19 A brother offended is harder to 
be won than a strong city; and their 
contentions are like the bars of a 
castle. 

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied 
with the fruit of his mouth; and 
with the increase of his lips shall 
he be filled. 

21 Death / and life are in the 
power of the tongue: and they 
that love it shall eat the fruit 
thereof. 

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth 
a good thing, and obtaineth favour 
of the Loed. 

23 The poor useth entreaties; but 
the rich answereth 9 roughly. 

24 A man h that hath friends must 
show himself friendly: and there is 
a friend that sticketh closer than a 
brother.

5 A d false witness shall not be

6 Many will entreat the favour 
of the prince: and every man is a

7 All the brethren of the poor do 
hate him; how much more do his 
friends go far from him? he pur-' 
sueth them with words, yet they are 
wanting to him. 

8 He that getteth 3 wisdom loveth 
his own soul: he that keepeth 
understanding shall find good. 

9 A 6 false witness shall not be

10 Delight is not seemly for a fool;

11 The 4 discretion of a man

12 The king's wrath is as the

13 A foolish son is the calamity

17 He * that hath pity upon the

CHAPTER XXII. 

A GOOD name is rather to be 
chosen than great riches, and 
1 loving favour rather than silver 
and gold. 

2 The a rich and poor meet to- 
gether: the Lord is the maker of 
them all. 

3 A prudent 6 man foreseeth the 
evil, and hideth himself: but the 
simple pass on, and are punished. 

4 By 2 humility, and the fear of 
the Lord, are riches, honour, and 
life. 

5 Thorns and snares are in the. 
way of the froward: c he that doth 
keep his soul shall be far from them. 

6 3 Train up a child 4 in the way 
he should go; and when he is old, 
he will not depart from it. 

7 The rich ruleth over the poor, 
and the borrower is servant 5 to 
the lender. 

8 He that d soweth iniquity shall 
reap vanity: 6 and the rod of his 
anger shall fail. . 

9 7 He that hath a bountiful eye 
shall be blessed; for he giveth of 
his bread to the poor. 

10 Cast out the scorner, and con- 
tention shall go out; yea, strife and 
reproach shall cease. 

11 He that loveth pureness of 
heart, 8 for the grace of his lips the 
king shall be his friend. 

12 The eyes of the Lord preserve 
knowledge; and he overthroweth 
9 the words of the transgressor.

23 For the Lord will plead their

that spoiled them. 

24 Make no friendship with an 
angry man; and with a furious

25 Lest thou learn his ways, and

13 landmark, which thy fathers

CHAPTER XXHI. 

WHEN thou sittest to eat with

what is before thee; 

2 And put a knife to thy throat,

3 A stone is 2 heavy, and the

9 Ointment and perfume rejoice 
the heart; so doth the sweetness of 
a man's friend 7 by hearty counsel. 

10 Thine own friend, and thy 
father's friend, forsake not; neither 
go into thy brother's house in the 
day of thy calamity: for better is 
a neighbour that is near, than a 
brother far off. 

11 My son, be wise, and make 
my heart glad, / that I may answer 
him that reproacheth me. 

12 A prudent man 9 foreseeth the 
evil, and hideth himself: but the 
simple pass on, and are punished. 

13 Take his garment that is 
surety for a stranger, and take a 
pledge of him for a strange woman. 

14 He that h blesseth his friend 
with a loud voice, rising early in 
the morning, it shall be counted a 
curse to him. 

15 A continual dropping in a

hardeneth his neck, shall

2 When the righteous are 2 in

when the wicked beareth rule, the 
people mourn. 

3 Whoso a Ioveth wisdom re- 
joiceth his father: but he that 
keepeth company with harlots 
spendeth his substance. 

4 The king by judgment estab- 
lished the land: but 3 he that 
receiveth gifts overthroweth it. 

5 A man that flattereth his 
neighbour spreadeth a net for his 
feet. 

6 In the transgression of an evil 
man there is a snare: but the right- 
eous doth sing and rejoice. 

7 The b righteous considereth the 
cause of the poor: but the wicked 
regardeth not to know it. 

8 Scornful men 4 bring a city into 
a snare: but wise men turn away 
wrath. 

9 If a, wise man contend eth with 
a foolish man, whether he rage or 
laugh, there is no rest. 

10 5 The blood-thirsty hate the 
upright: but the just seek his soul. 

11 A fool uttereth all his mind: 
but a wise man keepeth it in till 
afterwards. 

12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all 
his servants are wicked. 

13 The poor and 6 the deceitful 
man meet together; c the Lord 
lighteneth both their eyes. 

14 The king that d faithfully judg- 
eth the poor, his throne shall be

The confession and instructions of Agur. 

HP HE words of Agur the son of 
J- Jakeh, even the prophecy: the 
man spake unto Ithiel, even unto 
Ithiel and Ucal, 

2 Surely a Iam more brutish than 
any man, and have not the under- 
standing of a man. 

3 I neither learned wisdom, nor 
1 have the knowledge of the holy. 

4 Who 6 hath ascended up into 
heaven, or descended? c who hath 
gathered the wind in his fists? who 
hath bound the waters in a gar- 
ment? who hath established all the 
ends of the earth? what is his 
name, and what is his son's name, 
if thou canst tell? 

5 Eveiy d word of God is 2 pure: 
he 6 is a shield unto them that put 
their trust in him. 

6 Add / thou not unto his words, 
lest he reprove thee, and thou be 
found a liar. 

7 Two things have I required of 
thee; 3 deny me them not before I 
die: 

8 Remove far from me vanity 
and lies; give me neither poverty 
nor riches; 9 feed me with food 
4 convenient for me: 

9 Lest h I be full, and 5 deny thee, 
and say, Who is the Lord? or lest 
I be poor, and steal, and take the 
name of my God in vain.

] 1 There is a generation that curs- 
eth their father, and doth not bless 
their mother. 

12 There is a generation * that are 
pure in their own eyes, and yet is 
not washed from their filthiness. 

13 There is a generation, how 
lofty are their eyes! and their eye- 
lids are lifted up. 

14 There is J a generation whose 
teeth are as swords, and their jaw- 
teeth as knives, 'to devour the 
poor from off the earth, and the 
needy from among men. 

15 The horse- leach hath two 
daughters, crying, Give, give. 
There are three things that are 
never satisfied, yea, four things say 
not, 7 It is enough: 

16 The l grave; and the barren 
womb; the earth that is not filled 
with water; and the fire that saith 
not, It is enough. 

17 The m eye that mocketh at his 
father, and despiseth to obey his 
mother, the ravens of 8 the valley 
shall pick it out, and the young 
eagles shall eat it. 

18 There be three things which are 
too wonderful for me, yea, four 
which I know not: 

19 The way of an eagle in the 
air, the way of a serpent upon a 
rock, the way of a ship in the 
8 midst of the sea, and the way of 
a man with a maid. 

20 Such is the way of an adulter- 
ous woman; she eateth, and wipeth 
her mouth, and saith, I have done 
no wickedness. 

21 For three things the earth is 
disquieted, and for four which it 
cannot bear: 

22 For n a servant when he reign- 
eth; and a fool when he is filled 
with meat; 

23 For an odious tvoman when 
she is married; and an handmaid 
that is heir to her mistress. 

24 There be four things which are 
little upon the earth, but they are 
10 exceeding wise: 

25 The ° ants are a people not 
strong, yet they prepare their meat 
in the summer; 

26 The p conies are bid a feeble 
folk, yet make they their houses 
in the rocks; 

27 The locusts have no king, yet 
go they forth all of them u by 
bands; 

28 The spider taketh hold with 
her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

2 Vanity ° of vanities, saith the 
Preacher, vanity of vanities; b all 
is vanity. 

3 What c profit hath a man of 
all his labour which he taketh 
under the sun? 

4 One generation passeth away, 
and another generation cometh: 
but d the earth abideth for ever. 

5 The e sun also ariseth, and the 
sun goeth down, and } haste th to 
his place where he arose. 

6 The / wind goeth toward the 
south, and turneth about unto the 
north; it whirleth about continu- 
ally; and the wind returneth again 
according to his circuits. 

7 All 9 the rivers run into the 
sea; yet the sea is not full: unto

12 If I the Preacher was king over

cerning all things that are done 
under heaven: * this sore travail 
hath God given to the sons of man,

14 I have seen all the works that 
are done under the sun; and, be-

spirit.

have been before me in Jerusalem; 
yea, my heart 5 had great experi- 
ence of wisdom and knowledge.

17 And n I gave my heart to know 
wisdom, and to know madness and

CHAPTEE H. 

1 Vanity of human courses. 24 Of the 
cheerful use of what a man hath. 

I SAID a in mine heart, Go to 
now, I will prove thee with 
mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: 
and, behold, b this also is vanity. 

2 I said c of laughter, It is mad; 
and of mirth, What doeth it? 

3 I d sought in mine heart 1 to 
give myself unto wine, yet ac- 
quainting mine heart with wisdom, 
and to lay hold on folly, till 1 
might see what was that good for 
the sons of men which they should 
do under the heaven 2 all the days 
of their life. 

4 I made me great works; I 
builded me houses; I planted me 
vineyards; 

5 I made me gardens and or- 
chards, and I planted trees in 
them of all kind of fruits; 

6 I made me pools of water, to 
water therewith the wood that 
hringeth forth trees; 

7 I got me servants and maidens, 
and had 3 servants born in my 
house; also I had great possessions 
of great and small cattle above all 
that were in Jerusalem before me; 

8 I e gathered me also silver and 
gold, and the peculiar treasure of 
kings and of the provinces; 1 gat 
me men singers and women 
singers, and the delights of the 
sons of men, as 4 musical instru- 
ments, and that of all soils. 

9 So / 1 was great, and increased 
more than all that were before me 
in Jerusalem: also my wisdom 
remained with me. 

10 And whatsoever mine eyes 
desired I kept not from them, I 
withheld not my heart from any 
joy; for my heart rejoiced in all 
my labour: and 9 this was my 
portion of all my labour. 

11 Then I looked on all the works 
that my hands had wrought, and 
oh the labour that I had laboured 
to do; and, behold, all teas vanity 
and vexation of spirit, and there 
was no profit under the sun.

which hath been already done. 

13 Then I saw 6 that wisdom ex- 
celleth folly, as far as light excel- 
leth darkness. 

14 The * wise man's eyes are in his 
head; but the fool walketh in 
darkness: and I myself perceived 
also that^' one event happeneth to 
them all. 

15 Then said I in my heart, As it 
happeneth to the fool, so it 7 hap- 
peneth even to me; and why was 
I then more wise? Then I said 
in my heart, that this also is 
vanity. 

16 For there is no remembrance of 
the wise more than of the fool for 
ever; seeing that which now is, in 
the days to come shall all be for- 
gotten. And how dieth the wise 
man? as the fool. 

17 Therefore I hated life; because 
the work that is wrought under 
the sun is grievous unto me: for 
all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 

18 fl Yea, I hated all my labour 
which I had 8 taken under the sun; 
because * I should leave it unto the 
man that shall be after me. 

19 And who knoweth whether he 
shall be a wise man or l a fool? 
yet shall he have rule over all my 
labour wherein I have laboured, 
and wherein I have showed myself 
wise under the sun. This is m also 
vanity. 

20 Therefore I went about to 
cause my heart to despair of all 
the labour which I took under the 
sun. 

21 For there is a man whose 
labour is in wisdom, and in know- 
ledge, and in equity; yet to a man 
that hath not laboured therein 
shall he 9 leave it for his portion. 
This also is vanity and a great evil. 

22 For n what hath man of all his 
labour, and of the vexation of his 
heart, wherein he hath laboured 
under the sun? 

23 For all his days are ° sorrows, 
and his travail grief; yea, his heart 
taketh not rest in the night This 
is also vanity. 

24 ^ There is nothing better for 
a man, than that he should eat 
and drink, and that he 10 should 
make his soul enjoy good in his 
labour. This also 1 saw, that it 
was from the hand of God. 

25 For who can eat, or who else 
can hasten hereunto, more than I? 

26 For God giveth to a man that 
is good n in his sight wisdom, and

knowledge, and joy: but to the 
sinner he giveth travail, to gather 
and to heap up, that he may give 
to him that is good before God. 
This also is vanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

CHAPTER HI. 

By the necessary change of times, vanity 
is added to human travail. 

TO every thing there is a season, 
and a time a to every purpose 
under the heaven: 

2 A time 1 to be born, and 6 a 
time to die; a time to plant, and a 
time to pluck up that which is 
planted; 

3 A c time to kill, and a time to 
heal; a time to break down, and 
a time to build up; 

4 A time to weep, and a time to 
laugh; a time to mourn, and a 
time » to dance; 

5 A time to cast away stones, and 
a time to gather stones together; 
a time to embrace, and a time 2 to 
refrain from embracing; 

6 A time to 3 get, and a time to 
lose; a time to keep, and a time 
to cast away; 

7 A time to rend, and a time to 
sew; 6 a time to keep silence, and 
a time to speak; 

8 A time to love, and a time / to 
hate; a time of war, and a time of 
peace. 

9 What 9 profit hath he that 
worketh in that wherein he 
laboureth? 

10 I h have seen the travail which 
God hath given to the sons of 
men to be exercised in it. 

11 He * hath made every thing 
beautiful in his time: also he hath 
set the world in their heart; so 
that i no man can find out the 
work that God maketh from the 
beginning to the end. 

12 I know that there is no good in 
them, but for a man to rejoice, and 
to do good in his life. 

13 And also k that every man 
should eat and drink, and enjoy 
the good of all his labour, it is the 
gift of God. 

14 I know that whatsoever God 
doeth, it shall be for ever: { nothing 
can be put to it, nor any thing 
taken from it: and God doeth it, 
that men should fear before him. 

15 That m which hath been is 
now; and that which is to be hath 
already been; and God requireth 
4 that which is past.

the sun the place of judgment, 
that wickedness was there; and the 
place of righteousness, that iniquity 
was there. 

17 I said in mine heart, ° God 
shall judge the righteous and the 
wicked: for there is a time there for 
every purpose and for every work. 

18 1 said in mine heart concern- 
ing the estate of the sons of men, 
5 that God might manifest them, 
and that they might see that they 
themselves are beasts. 

19 For p that which befalleth the 
sons of men befalleth beasts; even 
one thing befalleth them: as the 
one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, 
they have all one breath: so that 
a man hath no pre-eminence above 
a beast: for all is vanity. 

20 All go unto one place; q all are 
of the dust, and all turn to dust 
again. 

21 Who knoweth the spirit 6 of 
man that 7 goeth upward, and the 
spirit of the beast that goeth 
downward to the earth? 

22 Wherefore I perceive that there 
is nothing better, than that a man 
should rejoice in his own works; for 
that r is his portion: for who shall 
bring him to see what shall be 
after him? 

CHAPTER IV. 

lVanity increased unto men by oppression, 
4 by envy, 5 by idleness, 7 by covetousness, 
9 by solitariness, 13 and by wilfulness. 

SO I returned, and considered all 
the oppressions that are done 
under the sun: and behold the 
tears of such as were oppressed, and 
they had no comforter; and on 
the 1 side of their oppressors there 
was power; but they had no com- 
forter. 

2 Wherefore a I praised the dead 
which are already dead, more than 
the living which are yet alive. 

3 Yea, * better is he than both 
they which hath not yet been, 
who hath not seen the evil work 
that is done under the sun. 

4 if Again, I considered all tra- 
vail, and 2 every right work, that 
3 for this a man is envied of his 
neighbour. This is also vanity and 
vexation of spirit. 

5 f The c fool foldeth his hands 
together, and eateth his own flesh. 

6 Better is an handful with quiet- 
ness, than both the hands full with 
travail and vexation of spirit. 

7 If Then I returned, and I saw 
vanity under the sun. 

8 There is one alone, and there is

not a second; yea, he hath neither 
child nor brother: yet is there no 
end of all his labour; neither is his 
eye d satisfied with riches; e neither 
saith he, For whom do I labour, 
and bereave my soul of good? 
This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore 
travail. 

9 f Two are better than one; be- 
cause they have a good reward for 
their labour. 

10 For if they fall, the one will 
lift up his fellow: but woe to him 
that is alone when he falleth; for 
he hath not another to help him 
up. 

11 Again, if two lie together, then 
they have heat: but how can one 
be warm alone? 

12 And if one prevail against 
him, two shall withstand him; and 
a threefold cord is not quickly 
broken. 

13 ^ Better is a poor and a wise 
child than an old and foolish king, 
4 who will no more be admonished. 

14 For out of prison he cometh to 
reign; whereas also he that is born 
in his kingdom becometh poor. 

15 I considered all the living 
which walk under the sun, with 
the second child that shall stand 
up in his stead. 

16 There is no end of all the peo- 
ple, even of all that have been before 
them: they also that come after 
shall not rejoice in him. Surely 
this also is vanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

CHAPTEB, V.

2 Be not rash with thy mouth,

to utter any- l thing before God: 
for God is in heaven, and thou 
upon earth; therefore let c thy

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause

before the angel, that it was an 
error: wherefore should God be 
angry at thy voice, and destroy 
the work of thine hands? 

7 For in the multitude of dreams 
and many words there are also 
divers vanities: but h fear thou God. 

8 % If thou * seest the oppression 
of the poor, and violent perverting 
of judgment and justice in a pro- 
vince, marvel not 2 at the matter: 
for^ he that is higher than the high- 
est regardeth; and there be higher 
than they. 

9 % Moreover the profit of the 
earth is for all: the king himself is 
served by the field. 

10 He that loveth silver shall not 
be satisfied with silver; nor he that 
loveth abundance with increase. 
This is also vanity. 

11 When goods increase, they are 
increased that eat them: and what 
good is there to the owners thereof, 
saving the beholding of them with 
their eyes? 

12 The sleep of a labouring man 
is sweet, whether he eat little or 
much: but the abundance of the 
rich will not suffer him to sleep. 

13 There k is a sore evil which I 
have seen under the sun, namely, 
riches kept for the owners thereof 
to their hurt. 

14 But those riches perish by evil 
travail; and he begetteth a son, 
and there is nothing in his hand. 

15 As 'he came forth of his 
mother's womb, naked shall he 
return to go as he came, and shall 
take nothing of his labour, which 
he may cany away in his hand. 

16 And this also is a sore evil, 
that in all points as he came, so 
shall he go: and m what profit hath 
he that " hath laboured for the 
wind? 

17 All his days also he ° eateth in 
darkness, and he hath much sorrow 
and wrath with his sickness. 

18 1f Behold that which I have 
seen: 3 it is good and comely for 
one to eat and to drink, and to 
enjoy the good of all his labour 
that he taketh under the sun 4 all 
the days of his life, which God 
giveth him; for it is his portion. 

19 Every man also to whom God 
hath given riches and wealth, and 
hath given him power to eat 
thereof, and to take his portion, 
and to rejoice in his labour; this 
is the giffof God. 



Vanity of long life. 



ECCLESIASTES, VI, VII. Remedies against vanity. 



20 5 For he shall not much re- 
member the days of his life; be- 
cause p God answereth him in the 
joy of his heart. 

CHAPTER VI. 

1 Vanity of riches without use; 3 of long 

THfe without good, etc. 
HERE is an evil which I have 
seen under the sun, and it is 
common among men: 

2 A man to whom God hath 
given riches, wealth, and honour, 
so a that he wanteth nothing for 
his soul of all that he desireth, yet 
God 6 giveth him not power to eat 
thereof, but a stranger eateth it: 
this is vanity, and it is an evil 
disease. 

3 If If a man beget an hundred 
children, and live many years, so 
that the days of his years be many, 
and his soul be not filled with 
good, and c also that he have no 
burial; I say, d that an untimely 
birth is better than he: 

4 For he cometh in with vanity, 
and departeth in darkness, and 
his name shall be covered with 
darkness. 

5 Moreover he hath not seen the 
sun, nor known any thing: this 
hath more rest than the other. 

6 Yea, though he live a thousand 
years twice told, yet hath he seen 
no good: do not all go to one 
place? 

7 All e the labour of man is for his 
mouth, and yet the l appetite is 
not filled. 

8 For what hath the wise more 
than the fool? what hath the poor, 
that knoweth to walk before the 
living? 

9 Better is the sight of the eyes 

2 than the wandering of the desire: 
this is also vanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

10 % That which hath been is 
named already, and it is known 
that it is man: neither / may he 
contend with him that is mightier 
than he. 

11 Seeing there be many things 
that increase vanity, what is man 
the better? 

12 For who knoweth what is good 
for man in this life, 3 all the days 
of his vain life which he spendeth 
as 9 a shadow? for A who can tell a 
man what shall be after him un- 
der the sun?

2 U It is better to go to the b house 
of mourning than to go to the 
house of feasting: for that is the 
end of all men; and the living will 
lay it to his heart. 

3 x Sorrow is better than laughter: 
for c by the sadness of the counte- 
nance the heart is made better. 

4 The heart of the wise is in the 
house of mourning: but the heart 
of fools is in the house of mirth. 

5 It is better to hear the rebuke 
of the wise, than for a man to 
hear the song of fools. 

6 For as the 2 crackling of thorn? 
under a pot, so is the laughter cf 
the fool. This also is vanity. 

7 TI Surely oppression maketh a 
wise man mad; d and a gift de- 
stroyeth the heart.

that the former days were better 
than these? for thou dost not en- 
quire 3 wisely concerning this. 

11 \ Wisdom 4 is good with an 
inheritance; and by it there is profit 
to them that see the sun. 

12 For wisdom is a 5 defence, and 
money is a defence: but the ex- 
cellency of knowledge is, that 
wisdom giveth life to them that 
have it. 

13 Consider the work of God: 
for 9 who can make that straight 
which he hath made crooked? 

14 In the day of prosperity be 
joyful, but in the day of adversity 
consider: God also hath 6 set the 
one over against the other, to the 
end that man should find nothing 
after him. 

15 All things have I seen in the 
days of my vanity: h there is a 
just man that perisheth in his 
righteousness, and there is a wicked 
man that prolongeth his life in his 
wickedness. 

16 Be * not righteous over much; 
neither i make thyself over wise: 
why shouldest thou 7 destroy thy- 
self? 

17 Be not over much wicked, 
neither be thou foolish: * why 
shouldest thou die 8 before thy 
time?

take hold of this; yea, also from 
this withdraw not thine hand: for 
he that feareth God shall come 
forth of them all. 

19 Wisdom strengtheneth the 
wise more than ten mighty men 
which are in the city. 

20 For l there is not a just man 
•upon earth, that doeth good, and 
sinneth not. 

21 Also 9 take no heed unto all 
words that are spoken; lest thou 
hear thy servant curse thee: 

22 For oftentimes also thine own 
heart knoweth that thou thyself 
likewise hast cursed others. 

23 All this have I proved by wis- 
dom: I said, I will be wise; but it 
was far from me. 

24 That which is far off, m and ex- 
ceeding deep, who can find it out? 

25 10 I applied mine heart to 
know, and to search, and to seek 
out wisdom, and the reason of 
things, and to know the wicked- 
ness of folly, even of foolishness 
and madness: 

26 And I find more bitter than 
death the woman whose heart is 
snares and nets, and her hands as 
bands: u whoso pleaseth God shall 
escape from her; but the sinner 
shall be taken by her. 

27 Behold, this have I found, saith 
the Preacher, 12 counting one by 
one, to find out the account; 

28 Which yet my soul seeketh, 
but I find not: one man among a 
thousand have I found ; but a 
woman among all those have 1 
not found. 

29 Lo, this only have I found, 
that n God hath made man up- 
right; but they have sought out 
many inventions.

5 Whoso keepeth the command- 
ment 2 shall feel no evil thing: and 
a wise man's heart discerneth both 
time and judgment. 

6 Because c to every purpose there 
is time and judgment, therefore 
the misery of man is great upon 
him. 

7 For d he knoweth not that 
which shall be: for who can tell 
him 3 when it shall be? 

8 There e is no man that hath 
power / over the spirit, to retain 
the spirit; neither hath he power in 
the day of death: and there is no 
4 discharge in that war; neither 
shall wickedness deliver those that 
are given to it. 

9 All this have I seen, and applied 
my heart unto every work that is 
done under the sun: there is a time 
wherein ° one man ruleth over 
another to his own hurt. 

10 And so I saw the wicked 
buried, who had come and gone 
from the place of the holy, and 
they were forgotten in the city 
where they had so done. This is 
also vanity. 

11 Because h sentence against an 
evil work is not executed speedily, 
therefore the heart of the sons of 
men is fully set in them to do 
evil. 

12 Though * a sinner do evil an 
hundred times, and his days be 
prolonged, yet surely 1 know 
that i it shall be well with them 
that fear God, which fear before 
him: 

13 But it shall not be well with 
the wicked, neither shall he pro- 
long his days, which are as a shadow; 
because he feareth not before God. 

14 There is a vanity which is 
done upon the earth; that there 
be just men, unto whom it k hap- 
peneth according to the work of 
the wicked; again, there be wicked 
men, to whom it happeneth accord- 
ing to the work of the righteous. 
I said, that this also is vanity. 

15 Then l I commended mirth, 
because a man hath no better 
thing under the sun, than to eat, 
and to drink, and to be merry; for 
that shall abide with him of his 
labour the days of his fife, " 4 which 
God giveth him under the sun. 

16 ^| When I applied mine heart 
to know wisdom, and to see the 
business that is done upon the 
earth: (for also there is that neither 
day nor night seeth sleep with his 
eyes:) 



Of God's providence. 



ECCLESIASTES, IX, X. 



Of wisdom and folly. 



17 Then I beheld all the work of 
God, that a n man cannot find out 
the work that is done under the 
sun: because though a man labour 
to seek it out, yet he shall not find 
it; yea farther, though a wise man 
think to know it, ° yet shall he not 
be able to find it. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 Like things happen to good and bad. 
7 How to enjoy the good of this life. 13 
Wisdom is better than strength. 

FOR all this ft I considered in my 
heart, even to declare all this, 
that a the righteous, and the wise, 
and their works, are in the hand 
of God : no man knoweth either 
love or hatred by all that is before 
them. 

2 All h things come alike to all: 
there is one event to the righteous, 
and to the wicked; to the good 
and to the clean, and to the un- 
clean; to him that sacrificeth, and 
to him that sacrificeth not: as is 
the good, so is the sinner; and he 
that sweareth, as he that feareth 
an oath. 

3 This is an evil among all things 
that are done under the sun, that 
there is one event unto all: yea, 
also the heart of the sons of men 
is full of evil, and madness is in 
their heart while they live, and 
after that they go to the dead. 

4 For to him that is joined to all 
the living there is hope: for a 
living dog is better than a dead 
lion. 

5 For the living know that they 
shall die: but c the dead know not 
any thing, neither have they any 
more a reward; for d the memory 
of them is forgotten. 

6 Also their love, and their hatred, 
and their envy, is now perished; 
neither have they any more a por- 
tion for ever in any thing that is 
done under the sun. 

7 f Go thy way, e eat thy bread 
with joy, and drink thy wine with 
a merry heart; for God now ac- 
cepteth thy works. 

8 Let thy garments be always 
white; and let thy head lack no 
ointment. 

9 2 Live joyfully with the wife 
whom thou lovest all the days of 
the life of thy vanity, which he 
hath given thee under the sun, all 
the days of thy vanity: / for that 
is thy portion in this life, and in 
thy labour which thou takest un- 
der the sun.

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth 
to do, do it with thy might; for 
there is no work, nor device, nor 
knowledge, nor wisdom, in the 
grave, whither thou goest. 

11 If I returned, 9 and saw under 
the sun, that the race is not to the 
swift, nor the battle to the strong, 
neither yet bread to the wise, nor 
yet riches to men of understanding, 
nor yet favour to men of skill; but 
time and chance happeneth to 
them all. 

12 For h man also knoweth not 
his time: as the fishes that are 
taken in an evil net, and as the 
birds that are caught in the snare; 
so are the sons of men i snared in 
an evil time, when it falleth sud- 
denly upon them. 

13 1[ This wisdom have I seen also 
under the sun, and it seemed great 
unto me: 

14 There $ was a little city, and 
few men within it; and there 
came a great king against it, and 
besieged it, and built great bul- 
warks against it. 

15 Now there was found in it a 
poor wise man, and he by his 
wisdom delivered the city; yet no 
man remembered that same poor 
man. 

16 Then k said I, "Wisdom is better 
than strength: nevertheless l the 
poor man's wisdom is despised, and 
his words are not heard. 

17 The m words of wise men are 
heard in quiet more than the cry 
of him that ruleth among fools. 

18 Wisdom is better than weapons 
of war: but n one sinner destroyeth 
much good. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Of wisdom and folly, 16 of riot, 18 sloth- 
fulness, 19 and money. 
DEAD 1 flies cause the oint- 
ment of the apothecary to 
send forth a stinking savour: so 
doth a little folly him that is in 
reputation for wisdom and honour. 

2 A wise a man's heart is at his 
right hand; but a fool's heart at 
his left. 

3 Yea also, when he that is a fool 
walketh by the way, 2 his wisdom 
faileth him, b and he saith to every 
one that he is a fool. 

4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up 
against thee, c leave not thy place; 
for d yielding pacifieth great of- 
fences. 

5 There is an evil which I have 
seen under the sun, as an error 
which proceedeth 3 from the ruler; 



Of wisdom and folly. 



ECCLESIASTES, XI, XII. Exhortation to the young. 



6 Folly is set 4 in great dignity, 
and the rich sit in low place. 

7 I have seen servants e upon 
horses, and princes walking as ser- 
vants upon the earth. 

8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall 
into it; and whoso breaketh an 
hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 

9 Whoso removeth stones shall be 
hurt therewith; and he that cleav- 
eth wood shall be endangered 
thereby. 

10 If the iron be blunt, and he do 
not whet the edge, then must he 
put to more strength: but wisdom 
is profitable to direct. 

11 Surely the serpent will J bite 
without enchantment; and 5 a 
babbler is no better. 

12 The words of a wise man's 
mouth are 6 gracious; but the lips 
of a fool will swallow up himself 

13 The beginning of the words of 
his mouth is foolishness; and the 
end of 7 his talk is mischievous 
madness. 

14 A fool also 8 is full of words: 
a man cannot tell what shall be; 
and what shall be 9 after him, who 
can tell him? 

15 The labour of the foolish wear- 
ieth every one of them, because he 
knoweth not how to go to the city. 

16 ^ Woe A to thee, land, when 
thy king is a child, and thy princes 
eat in the morning! 

17 Blessed art thou, land, when 
thy king is the son of nobles, and 
thy * princes eat in due season, for 
strength, and not for drunkenness! 

18 ^| By much slothfulness the 
building decayeth; and through 
idleness of the hands the house 
droppeth through. 

19 If A feast is made for laughter, 
and wine 9 maketh merry: but 
money answereth all things.

I AM the rose of Sharon, and the 
lily of the valleys. 

2 As the lily among thorns, so 
is my love among the daugh- 
ters. 

3 As the apple tree among the 
trees of the wood, so is my beloved 
among the sons. x I sat down un- 
der his shadow with great delight, 
and a his fruit was sweet to my 

2 taste. 

4 He brought me to the 3 ban- 
queting house, and his banner over 
me was love. 

5 Stay me with flagons, 4 comfort 
me with apples: for I am sick of 
love. 

6 His 6 left hand is under my head, 
and his right hand doth embrace

at the windows, 6 showing himself 
through the lattice. 

10 My beloved spake, and said 
unto me, Kise up, my love, my fair 
one, and come away. 

11 For, lo, the winter is past, the 
rain is over and gone; 

12 The flowers appear on the 
earth; the time of the singing of 
birds is come, and the voice of the 
turtle is heard in our land; 

13 The fig tree putteth forth her 
green figs, and the vines with the 
tender grape give a good smell. 
Arise, my love, my fair one, and 
come away.

of the rock, in the secret places of 
the stairs, let me see thy counte-

sweet is thy voice, and thy coun- 
tenance is comely.

1 The church's fight and victory in tempta-

BY * night on my bed I sought 
him whom my soul loveth: I 
sought him, but I found him not. 

2 I will rise now, and go about 
the city in the streets, and in the 
broad ways I will seek him whom 
my soul loveth: I sought him, but 
I found him not. 

3 The 6 watchmen that go about 
the city found me: to whom I said, 
Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 

4 It was but c a little that I passed 
from them, but I found him whom 
my soul loveth: I d held him, and 
would not let him go, until I had 
brought him into my mother's 
house, and into the chamber of 
her that conceived me. 

5 I e charge you, O ye daughters 
of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by 
the hinds of the field, that ye stir 
not up, nor awake my love, till he 
please. 

6 % Who Us this that cometh out 
of the wilderness like pillars of 
smoke, perfumed with myrrh and 
frankincense, with all powders of 
the merchant? 

7 Behold his bed, which is Solo- 
mon's; threescore valiant men are 
about it, of the valiant of Israel. 

8 They all hold swords, being ex- 
pert in war: every man hath his 
sword upon his thigh, because of 
fear in the night. 

9 King Solomon made himself 1 
a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. 

10 He made the pillars thereof of 
silver, the bottom thereof of gold, 
the covering of it of purple, the 
midst thereof being paved 9 with 
love, for the daughters of Jeru- 
salem. 

11 Go forth, O ye daughters of 
Zion, and behold king Solomon 
with the crown wherewith his 
mother crowned him in the u day 
of his espousals, and in the day of 
the gladness of his heart. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Christ sets forth the graces of the church: 
8 he shows his love to her. 16 She prays 
to be made Jit for his presence. 

BEHOLD, thou art fair, my love; 
behold, thou art fair; thou to 
doves' eyes within thy locks: thy 
hair is as h a flock of goats, * that 
appear from mount Gilead.

of Christ and his church. 



2 Thy c teeth are like a flock of 
sheep that are even shorn, which came 
up from the washing ; whereof 
every one hear twins, and none is 
barren among them. 

3 Thy lips are like a thread of 
scarlet, and thy speech is comely: 
thy temples are like a piece of a 
pomegranate within thy locks. 

4 Thy d neck is like the tower of 
David builded 6 for an armoury, 
whereon there hang a thousand 
bucklers, all shields of mighty men. 

5 Thy / two breasts are like two 
young roes that are twins, which 
feed among the lilies. 

6 Until the day 2 break, and the 
shadows flee away, I will get me 
to the mountain of myrrh, and to 
the hill of frankincense. 

7 Thou 9 art all fair, my love; 
there is no spot in thee. 

8 % Come with me from Lebanon, 
my spouse, with me from Lebanon: 
look from the top of Amana, from 
the top of Shenir and h Hermon, 
from the lions' dens, from the 
mountains of the leopards. 

9 Thou hast 3 ravished my heart, 
my sister, my * spouse; thou hast ra- 
vished my heart with one of thine 
eyes, with one chain of thy neck. 

10 How fair is thy love, my sister, 
my spouse ! how much better is thy 
love than wine! and the smell of 
thine ointments than all spices ! 

11 Thy lips, my spouse, drop as 
the honey-comb: * honey and milk 
are under thy tongue ; and the 
smell of thy garments is k like the 
smell of Lebanon. 

12 A l garden 4 inclosed is my sis- 
ter, my spouse; a spring shut up, a 
fountain sealed. 

13 Thy plants are an orchard 
of pomegranates, with pleasant 
fruits; 6 camphire, with spikenard, 

14 Spikenard and saffron; cala- 
mus and cinnamon, with all trees 
of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, 
with all the chief spices: 

15 A fountain of gardens, a well 
of m living waters, and streams 
from Lebanon.

defiled: for my head is filled with 
dew, and my locks with the drops 
of the night. 

3 I have put off my coat; how 
shall I put it on? I have washed 
my feet; how shall I defile them? 

4 My beloved put in his hand by 
the hole of the door, and my bowels 
were moved 2 for him. 

5 I rose up to open to my beloved; 
and my hands dropped with myrrh, 
and my fingers with 3 sweet-smell- 
ing myrrh, upon the handles of the 
lock. 

6 I opened to my beloved; but 
my beloved had d withdrawn him- 
self, and was gone: my soul failed 
when he spake: I sought him, but 
I could not find him; I e called 
him, but he gave me no answer. 

7 The /watchmen that went 
about the city found me, they 
smote me, they wounded me; the 
keepers of the walls took away my 
veil from me. 

8 I charge you, daughters of 
Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, 
4 that ye tell him, that I am sick 
of love. 

9 ^ What is thy beloved more 
than another beloved, thou fair- 
est among women ? what is thy 
beloved more than another be- 
loved, that thou dost so charge

ruddy, 5 the chiefest among ten

doves by the rivers of waters, 
washed with milk, and 7 fitly

13 His cheeks are as a bed of 
spices, as 8 sweet flowers; his lips 
like lilies, dropping sweet-smelling 
myrrh:

set with the beryl; his belly 
is as bright ivory overlaid with

and assurance of Christ's love. 

HOW beautiful are thy feet with 
shoes, a O prince's daughter ! 
the joints of thy thighs are like 
jewels, the work of the hands of a 
cunning workman: 

2 Thy navel is like a round gob- 
let, which wanteth not x liquor: thy 
belly ts like an heap of wheat set 
about with lilies: 

3 Thy l two breasts are like two 
young roes that are twins: 

4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; 
thine eyes like the fish -pools in 
Heshbon, by the gate of Bath- 
rabbim: thy nose is as the tower 
of Lebanon which looketh toward 
Damascus: 

5 Thine head upon thee is like 

2 Carmel, and the hair of thine 
head like purple: the king is 3 held 
in the galleries. 

6 How fair and how pleasant art 
thou, O love, for delights! 

7 This thy stature is like to a 
palm tree, and thy breasts to clus- 
ters of grapes. 

8 I said, I will go up to the 
palm tree, I will take hold of the 
boughs thereof: now also thy 
breasts shall be as clusters of the 
vine, and the smell of thy nose 
like apples; 

9 And the roof of thy mouth like 
the best wine for my beloved, that 
goeth down 4 sweetly, causing the 
lips 6 of those that are asleep to 
speak. 

1 *[[ I c am my beloved's, and d his 
desire is toward me. 

11 Come, my beloved, let us go 
forth into the field; let us lodge in 
the villages. 

12 Let us get up early to the 
vineyards; let us e see if the vine 
flourish, whether the tender grape 
6 appear, and the pomegranates 
bud forth: there will / 1 give thee 
my loves. 

13 The 9 mandrakes give a smell, 
and at our gates h are all manner 
of pleasant fruits, new and old, 
which I have laid np for thee, O

5 f Who is this that cometh up 
from c the wilderness, leaning upon 
her beloved? I raised thee up 
under the apple tree: there thy 
mother brought thee forth; there 
she brought thee forth that bare 
thee. 

6 Set d me as a seal upon thine 
heart, as a seal upon thine arm: 
for 6 love is strong as death; jeal- 
ousy is 3 cruel as the grave: the 
coals thereof are coals of fire, which 
hath a most vehement flame. 

7 Many waters cannot quench 
love, neither can the floods drown 
it: / if a man would give all the 
substance of his house for love, it 
would utterly be contemned.

the 6 days of Uzziah, Jotham, 
Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of 
Judah. 

2 % Hear, heavens, and give 
ear, earth: for the Lord hath 
spoken, I have nourished and 
brought up children, and they 
have rebelled against me.

doth ° not know, my people doth

in the blood of bullocks, or of 
lambs, or of 6 he-goats. 

12 When ye come 7 to appear 
before me, who hath required this 
at your hand, to tread my courts? 

13 Bring no more vain oblations; 
incense is an abomination unto 
me; the new moons and sabbaths, 
the calling of assemblies, I cannot 
away with; it is 8 iniquity, even 
the solemn meeting. 

14 Your new moons and your 
appointed feasts my soul hateth: 
they are a trouble unto me; I am 
weary to bear them. 

15 And *when ye spread forth 
your hands, I will hide mine eyes 
from you; L yea, when ye 9 make 
many prayers, I will not hear: 
your hands are full of 10 blood. 

16 Wash m you, make you clean; 
put away the evil of your doings 
from before mine eyes; n cease to 
do evil; 

17 Learn to do well; ° seek judg- 
ment, 11 relieve the oppressed, judge 
the fatherless, plead for the widow. 

18 *fl Come now, and p let us 
reason together, saith the Lord: 
Though your sins be as scarlet, 
they q shall be as white as snow; 
though they be red like crimson, 
they shall be as wool. 

19 If r ye be willing and obedient, 
ye shall eat the good of the land: 

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye 
shall be devoured with the sword: 
lor s the mouth of the Lord hath 
spoken it. 

21 U How is the faithful city be- 
come an harlot! it was full of 
judgment; righteousness lodged in 
it; but now murderers. 

22 Thy silver is become dross, 
thy wine mixed with water: 

23 Thy t princes are rebellious, 
and companions of thieves: every 
one loveth gifts, and followeth 
after rewards: they judge not the 
fatherless, neither doth the cause 
of the widow come unto them. 

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the 
Lord of hosts, the mighty One of 
Israel, Ah, u I will ease me of mine 
adversaries, and avenge me of 
mine enemies: 

25 And I " will turn my hand upon 
thee, and 12 purely purge away thy 
dross, and take away all thy tin: 

26 And I will restore thy judges 
as at the first, and thy counsellors 
as at the beginning: afterward 
thou shalt be called, The city of 
righteousness, The faithful city.

CHAPTER H. 

1 Isaiah prophesies of Christ's kingdom. 
6 Wickedness the cause of God's forsak- 
ing his people. 10 The prophet forewarns 
them of the terrible day of the Lord. 

THE word that Isaiah the son of 
Amoz saw concerning Judah 
and Jerusalem. 

2 And a it shall come to pass in 
the last days, b that the moun- 
tain of the Lord's house shall * be 
established in the top of the moun- 
tains, and shall be exalted above 
the hills; and all nations shall flow 
unto it. 

3 And many people shall go and 
say, Come c ye, and let us go up to 
the mountain of the Lord, to the 
house of the God of Jacob; and he 
will teach us of his ways, and we 
will walk in his paths: d for out of 
Zion shall go forth the law, and 
the word of the Lord from Jeru- 
salem. 

4 And he e shall judge among the 
nations, and shall rebuke many 
people; and f they shall beat their 
swords into ploughshares, and their 
spears into 2 pruning-hooks: nation 
shall not lift up sword against na- 
tion, neither shall they learn war 
any more. 

5 *j[ O house of Jacob, come ye, 
and let us 9 walk in the light of 
the Lord. 

6 Therefore thou hast forsaken 
thy people the house of Jacob, be- 
cause they be replenished 3 from 
the east, and h are soothsayers like 
the Philistines, and they 4 please 
themselves in the children of 
strangers. 

7 Their land also is full of silver 
and gold, neither is there any end 
of their treasures; their land is also 
full of horses, neither is there any 
end of their chariots:

8 Their land also is full of 5 idols; 
they worship the work of their 
own hands, that which their own 
fingers have made: 

9 And the mean man howeth 
down, and the great man humbleth 
himself: therefore forgive them not. 

10 % Enter into the rock, and 
hide thee in the dust, for fear of 
the Lord, and for the glory of his 
majesty. 

11 The lofty looks of man shall 
he humbled, and the haughtiness 
of men shall be bowed down, and 
the Lord alone shall be exalted in 
that * day. 

12 For the day of the Lord of 
hosts shall be upon every one that is 
proud and lofty, and upon every 
one that is lifted up, and he shall be 
brought low: 

13 And upon all the cedars of Leb- 
anon, that are high and lifted up, 
and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 

14 And upon all the high moun- 
tains, and upon all the hills that 
are lifted up, 

15 And upon every high tower, 
and upon every fenced wall, 

16 And upon all the ships of 
Tarshish, and upon all G pleasant 
pictures. 

17 And the loftiness of man shall 
be bowed down, and the haughti- 
ness of men shall be made low; 
and the Lord alone shall be exalted 
in that day. 

18 And the idols 7 he shall utterly 
abolish. 

19 And they shall go into 4 the 
holes of the rocks, and into the 
caves of 8 the earth, for * fear of the 
Lord, and for the glory of his 
majesty, when he ariseth Ho shake 
terribly the earth. 

20 In that day a man shall cast 
9 his idols of silver, and his idols of 
gold, 10 which they made each one 
for himself to worship, to the moles 
and to the bats; 

21 To go into the clefts of the 
rocks, and into the tops of the 
ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, 
and for the glory of his majesty, 
when he ariseth to shake terribly 
the earth. 

22 Cease m ye from man, whose 
breath is in his nostrils; for where- 
in is he to be accounted of ?

6 When a man shall take hold of

7 In that day shall he 3 swear, 
saying, I will not be an 4 healer; 
for in my house is neither bread 
nor clothing: make me not a ruler 
of the people. 

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and 
Judah is fallen; because their 
tongue and their doings are against 
the Lord, to provoke the eyes of 
his glory. 

9 The show of their countenance 
doth witness against them; and 
they declare their sin as Sodom, 
they hide it not. Woe unto their 
soul! for they have rewarded evil 
unto themselves. 

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it 
shall be well with him; for they shall 
eat the fruit of their doings. 

11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall 
be ill with him; for the reward of 
his hands shall be 5 given him. 

12 As for my people, children are

13 % The Lord standeth up to 
plead, and standeth to judge the 
people. 

14 The Lord will enter into judg- 
ment with the ancients of his 
people, and the princes thereof: 
for ye have 8 eaten up 6 the vine- 
yard; the spoil of the poor is in 
your houses. 

15 What mean ye that ye beat my 
people to pieces, and grind the 
faces of the poor? saith the Lord 
God of hosts. 



A remnant of Israel shall be saved. ISAIAH, VII. 



Birth of Immanuel foretold. 



4 And the posts of the 4 door 
moved at the voice of him that 
cried, and the house was filled 
with smoke. 

5 Then said 1, Woe is me! for I 
am 5 undone; because lama, man 
of unclean lips, and I dwell in the 
midst of a people of unclean lips: 
for mine eyes have seen the King, 
the Lord of hosts. 

6 Then flew one of the seraphim 
unto me, 6 having a live coal in 
his hand, which he had taken with 
the tongs from off c the altar: 

7 And he 7 laid it upon my 
mouth, and said, Lo, this hath 
touched thy lips; and thine ini- 
quity is taken away, and thy sin 
purged. 

8 Also I heard the voice of the 
Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, 
and who will go for d us? Then 
said I, 8 Here am I; send me. 

9 And he said, Go, and tell this 
people, 9 Hear ye indeed, but un- 
derstand not; and see ye 10 indeed, 
but perceive not. 

10 Make the heart of this people 
fat, and make their ears heavy, 
and shut their eyes; lest they see 
with their eyes, and hear with 
their ears, and understand with 
their heart, and convert, and be 
healed. 

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? 
And he answered, Until the cities 
be wasted without inhabitant, and 
the houses without man, and the 
land be n utterly desolate, 

12 And the Lord have e removed 
men far away, and there be a great 
forsaking in the midst of the land. 

13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, 
12 and it shall return, and shall be 
eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, 
whose vs substance is in them, 
when they cast their leaves: so the 
holy /seed shall be the substance 
thereof.

moved, and the heart of his people, 
as the trees of the wood are moved

3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, 
Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, 
and 2 Shear-jashub thy son, at the 
end of the h conduit of the upper 
pool in the 3 highway of the fuller's 
field; 

4 And say unto him, Take heed, 
and be quiet; fear not, i neither be 
faint-hearted for the two tails of 
these smoking firebrands, for the 
fierce anger of Eezin with Syria, 
and of the son of Eemaliah. 

5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and 
the son of Eemaliah, have taken 
evil counsel against thee, saying, 

6 Let us go up against Judah, and 
5 vex it, and let us make a breach 
therein for us, and set a king in the 
midst of it, even the son of Tabeal: 

7 Thus saith the Lord God, It 
shall not stand, neither shall it 
come to pass. 

8 For c the head of Syria is Da- 
mascus, and the head of Damascus 
is Eezin; and within threescore 
and five years shall Ephraim be 
broken, 6 that it be not a people. 

9 And the head of Ephraim is 
Samaria, and the head of Samaria 
is Eemaliah's son. 7 If ye will not 
believe, surely ye shall not be 
established, 

10 % & Moreover the Lord spake 
again unto Ahaz, saying, 

11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord 
thy God; 9 ask it either in the 
depth, or in the height above. 

12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, 
neither will I tempt the Lord. 

13 And he said, Hear ye now, 
house of David; Is it a small thing 
for you to weary men, but will ye 
weary my God also? 

14 Therefore the Lord himself 
shall give you a sign; d Behold, a 
virgin shall conceive, and bear e a 
son, and 10 shall call his J name 
Immanuel. 

15 Butter and honey shall he eat, 
that he may know to refuse the 
evil, and choose the good. 

16 For before the child shall know 
to refuse the evil, and choose the 
good, the land that thou abhorrest 
shall be forsaken of ° both her 
kings. 

17 ^ The h Lord shall bring upon 
thee, and upon thy people, and 
upon thy father's house, days that 
have not come, from the day that 
Ephraim * departed from Judah; 
even the king of Assyria.

18 And it shall come to pass in 
that day, that the Lord shall hiss 
for the fly that is in the uttermost 
part of the rivers of Egypt, and 
for the bee that is in the land of 
Assyria: 

19 And they shall come, and 
shall rest all of them in the deso- 
late valleys, and in the holes of the 
rocks, and upon all thorns, and 
upon all u bushes. 

20 In the same day shall the 
Lord shave with i a razor that is 
hired, namely, by them beyond the 
river, by the king of Assyria, the 
head, and the hair of the feet: and 
it shall also consume the beard. 

21 And it shall come to pass in 
that day, that a man shall nourish 
a young cow and two sheep; 

22 And it shall come to pass, for 
the abundance of milk that they 
shall give, that he shall eat butter: 
for butter and honey shall every 
one eat that is left 12 in the 
land. 

23 And it shall come to pass in 
that day, that every place shall be, 
where there were a thousand vines 
at a thousand silverlings, it shall 
even be for briers and thorns. 

24 With arrows and with bows 
shall men come thither; because 
all the land shall become briers 
and thorns. 

25 And on all hills that shall be 
digged with the mattock, there 
shall not come thither the fear of 
briers and thorns: but it shall be for 
the sending forth of oxen, and for 
the treading of lesser cattle.

5 ^ The Lord spake also unto me 
again, saying, 

6 Forasmuch as this people refus- 
eth the waters of c ShUoah that go 
softly, and rejoice in Rezin and 
Remaliah's son; 

7 Now therefore, behold, the 
Lord bringeth up upon them the 
waters of the river, strong and 
many, even the king of Assyria, 
and all his glory: and he shall 
come up over all his channels, and 
go over all his banks. 

8 And he shall pass through Ju- 
dah; he shall overflow and go over; 
he shall reach even to the neck: 
and 4 the stretching out of his 
wings shall fill the breadth of thy 
land, O d Immanuel. 

9 ^1 Associate yourselves, O ye 
people, 5 and ye shall be broken 
in pieces; and give ear, all ye of 
far countries: gird yourselves, and 
ye shall be broken in pieces; gird 
yourselves, and ye shall be broken 
in pieces. 

10 Take 6 counsel together, and 
it shall come to nought; speak the 
word, and it shall not stand: / for 
God is with us. 

11 For the Lord spake thus to 
me 6 with a strong hand, and in- 
structed me that I should not 
walk in the way of this people, 
saying, 

12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to 
all them to whom this people shall 
say, A confederacy; 9 neither fear 
ye their fear, nor be afraid. 

13 Sanctify * the Lord of hosts 
himself; and * let him be your fear, 
and let him be your dread. 

14 And •?' he shall be for a sanctu- 
ary; but for k a stone of stumbling 
and for a rock of offence to both 
the houses of Israel, for a gin and 
for a snare to the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem. 

15 And many among them l shall 
stumble, and fall, and be broken, 
and be snared, and be taken. 

16 Bind m up the testimony, seal 
the law among my disciples. 

17 And I will wait upon the 
Lord, that hideth his face from 
the house of Jacob, and n I will 
look for him. 

18 Behold, ° I and the children 
whom the Lord hath given me, 
p are for signs and for wonders in 
Israel from the Lord of hosts, 
which dwelleth in mount Zion.

you; Seek unto them that have 
familiar spirits, and unto wizards 



The birth and reign of Messiah. 



ISAIAH, IX. Judgments threatened on Israel 



that peep and that mutter: should 
not a people seek unto their God? 
for the living a to the dead? 

20 To the law and to the testi- 
mony: if they speak not according 
to this word, it is because there is 
7 no light in them. 

21 And they shall pass through 
it hardly bestead and hungry: and 
it shall come to pass, that, when 
they shall be hungry, they shall fret 
themselves, and curse their king 
and their God, and look upward. 

22 And they shall look unto the 
earth; and behold trouble and 
darkness, dimness of anguish; and 
they shall be driven to darkness. 

CHAPTEK IX. 

1 What joy shall be in the midst of afflic- 
tions by the birth and kingdom of Christ. 
8 Judgments upon Israel for their pride, 
13 hypocrisy, 18 and their impenltency. 

^7EVEBTHELESS the dimness 
^1 shall not be such as was in her 
vexation, when at the * first he 
lightly afflicted the land of Zebu- 
lun, and the land of Naphtali, and 
afterward b did more grievously 
afflict her by the way of the sea, 
beyond Jordan, in Galilee x of the 
nations. 

2 The c people that walked in 
darkness have seen a great light: 
they that dwell in the land of the 
shadow of death, upon them hath 
the light shined. 

3 Thou hast multiplied the na- 
tion, and 2 not increased the joy: 
they joy before thee according to 
the joy in harvest, and as men re- 
joice when they divide the spoiL 

4 a For thou hast broken the yoke 
of his burden, and the staff of his 
shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, 
as in the day d of Midian. 

5 4 For every battle of the warrior 
is with confused noise, and gar- 
ments rolled in blood; 6 but this 
shall be with burning and 6 fuel of 
fire. 

6 For e unto us a child is born, 
unto us a son / is given: and 9 the 
government shall be upon his 
shoulder: and his name shall be 
called h Wonderful, Counsellor, 
The » mighty God, The everlasting 
Father, •? The Prince of Peace. 

7 Of the increase of his govern- 
ment and peace * there shall be no 
end, upon the throne of David, 
and upon his kingdom, to order it, 
and to establish it with judgment 
and with justice from henceforth 
even for ever. The zeal of the 
Lord of hosts will perform this.

8 % The Lord sent a word into 
Jacob, and it hath lighted upon 
Israel. 

9 And all the people shall know, 
even Ephraim, and the inhabitants 
of Samaria, that say in the pride 
and stoutness of heart, 

10 The bricks are fallen down, 
but we will build with hewn 
stones; the sycamores are cut 
down, but we will change them 
into cedars. 

11 Therefore the Lord shall set 
up the adversaries of Eezin against 
him, and 7 join his enemies to- 
gether; 

12 The Syrians before, and the 
Philistines behind; and they shall 
devour Israel 8 with open mouth. 
For all this his anger is not turned 
away, but his hand is stretched 
out still. 

13 ^ For l the people turneth not 
unto him that smiteth them, 
neither do they seek the Lord of 
hosts. 

14 Therefore the Lord will cut 
off from Israel head and tail, 
branch and rush, in one day. 

15 The ancient and honourable, 
he is the head; and the prophet 
that teacheth lies, he is the 
tail. 

16 For 9 the leaders of this people 
cause them to err; and 10 they that are 
led of them are n destroyed. 

IT Therefore the Lord shall have 
no joy in their young men, neither 
shall have mercy on their father- 
less and widows: for every one is 
an hypocrite and an evil-doer, 
and every mouth speaketh 12 folly. 
For all this his anger is not turned 
away, but his hand is stretched 
out still. 

18 T[ For wickedness burneth as 
the fire: it shall devour the briers 
and thorns, and shall kindle in 
the thickets of the forest; and they 
shall mount up like the lifting up 
of smoke. 

19 Through the wrath of the 
Lord of hosts is the land darkened, 
and the people shall be as the 
13 fuel of the fire : no man shall 
spare his brother. 

20 And he shall u snatch on the 
right hand, and be hungry; and 
he shall eat on the left hand, m and 
they shall not be satisfied: they 
shall eat every man the flesh of 
his own arm:

raim, Manasseh: and they together 
shall be against Judah. For all

this his anger is not turned away, 
but his hand is stretched out 
still. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Woe of tyrants. 5 Assyria, the rod of 
hypocrites, for his pride shall be broken. 
20 A remnant of Israel shall be saved. 

WOE unto them that decree 
unrighteous decrees, and 
1 that write grievousness which they 
have prescribed; 

2 To turn aside the needy from 
judgment, and to take away the 
right from the poor of my people, 
that widows may be their prey, 
and that they may rob the father- 
less! 

3 And what will ye do in ° the 
day of visitation, and in the deso- 
lation which shall come from far? 
to whom will ye flee for help? and 
where will ye leave your glory? 

4 Without me they shall bow 
down under the prisoners, and 
they shall fall under the slain. 
For all this his anger is not turned 
away, but his hand is stretched 
out still. 

5 ^ 2 3 Assyrian, the rod of mine 
anger, 4 and the staff in their hand

6 I will send him against an 
hypocritical nation, and against 
the people of my wrath will I give 
him a charge, to take the spoil, 
and to take the prey, and 5 to 
tread them down like the mire of 
the streets. 

7 Howbeit 6 he meaneth not so, 
neither doth his heart think so; 
but it is in his heart to destroy 
and cut off nations not a few. 

8 For c he saith, Are not my 
princes altogether kings? 

9 Is not d Calno as e Carchemish? 
is not / Hamath as Arpad? is not 
Samaria as 9 Damascus? 

10 As my hand hath found the 
kingdoms of the idols, and whose 
graven images did excel them of 
Jerusalem and of Samaria; 

11 Shall I not, as I have done 
unto Samaria and her idols, so do 
to Jerusalem and her idols? 

12 Wherefore it shall come to 
pass, that, when the Lord hath 
performed his whole work upon 
mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I 
will 6 punish the fruit 7 of the stout 
heart of the king of Assyria, and

inhabitants 8 like a valiant man: 

14 And my hand hath found as 
a nest the riches of the people: 
and as one gathereth eggs that are

9 as if the rod should shake itself 
against them that lift it up, or as 
if the staff should lift up 10 itself, as

16 Therefore shall the Lord, the 
Lord of hosts, send among his fat 
ones leanness; and under his glory 
he shall kindle a burning like the 
burning of a fire. 

17 And the light of Israel shall

devour his thorns and his briers in 
one day; 

18 And shall consume the glory 
of his forest, and of his fruitful 
field, n both soul and body: and 
they shall be as when a standard- 
bearer fainteth. 

19 And the rest of the trees of his 
forest shall be 12 few, that a child 
may write them. 

20 If And it shall come to pass in 
that day, that the remnant of Israel, 
and such as are escaped of the 
house of Jacob, shall no more again 
stay upon him that smote them; 
but shall stay upon the Lord, the 
Holy One of Israel, in truth. 

21 The remnant shall return, even 
the remnant of Jacob, unto the 
mighty God. 

22 For i though thy people Israel 
be as the sand of the sea, yet a 
remnant 13 of them shall return: 
the consumption decreed shall 
overflow u with righteousness. 

23 For * the Lord God of hosts 
shall make a consumption, even 
determined, in the midst of all the 
land. 

24 fl Therefore thus saith the 
Lord God of hosts, O my people 
that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid 
of the Assyrian: he shall smite 
thee with a rod, 15 and shall lift up 
his staff against thee, after the 
manner of Egypt. 

25 For yet a very little while, l and 
the indignation shall cease, and 
mine anger, in their destruction.

stir up a scourge for him according 
to the slaughter of Midian at the 
rock of Oreb: and as his rod was 
upon the sea, so shall he lift it up 
after the manner of Egypt 

27 And it shall come to pass in 
that day, that his burden 16 shall 
be taken away from off thy shoul- 
der, and his yoke from off thy 
neck, and the yoke shall be de- 
stroyed because of m the anointing.

salem.

terror: and the high ones of stat-

of the terrible. 

12 I will make a man more pre- 
cious than fine gold; even a man 
than the golden wedge of Ophiiv 

13 Therefore * I will shake the 
heavens, and the earth shall re- 
move out of her place, in the wrath 
of the Lord of hosts, and in h the 
day of his fierce anger. 

14 And it shall be as the chased 
roe, and as a sheep that no man 
taketh up: they shall every man 
turn to his own people, and flee 
every one into his own land. 

15 Every one that is found shall 
be thrust through; and every one 
that is joined unto them shall fall bj 
the sword. 

16 Their children also shall be 
dashed * to pieces before their eyes- 
their houses shall be spoiled, and 
their wives ravished. 

17 Behold, t I will stir up the 
Medes against them, which shall 
not regard silver; and as for gold, 
they shall not delight in it. 

18 Their bows also shall dash the 
young men to pieces; and they 
shall have no pity on the fruit of 
the womb; their eye shall not spare 
children. 

19 And Babylon, the glory of 
kingdoms, the beauty of the Chal- 
dees' excellency, shall be 7 as when 
God overthrew Sodom and Go- 
morrah. 

20 It * shall never be inhabited, 
neither shall it be dwelt in from 
generation to generation: neither 
shall the Arabian pitch tent there; 
neither shall the shepherds make 
their fold there: 

21 But 8 wild beasts of the desert 
shall lie there; and their houses 
shall be full of 9 doleful creatures; 
and 10 owls shall dwell there, and 
11 satyrs shall dance there.

islands shall cry in their 13 desolate 
houses, and u dragons in their

CHAPTEK XIV. 

1 God's merciful restoration of Israel. 3 
Israel's triumph in the fall of Babylon. 

FOB, the Lord will have mercy 
on Jacob, a and will yet choose 
Israel, and set them in their own 
land: h and the strangers shall be 
joined with them, and they shall 
cleave to the house of Jacob. 

2 And the people shall take them, 
and bring them to their place: and 
the house of Israel shall possess 
them in the land of the Lord for 
servants and handmaids: and they 
shall take them captives, x whose 
captives they were; and they shall 
rule over their oppressors. 

3 And it shall come to pass in the 
day that the Lord shall give thee 
rest from thy sorrow, and from thy 
fear, and from the hard bondage 
wherein thou wast made to serve, 

4 That thou c shalt take up this 

2 proverb against the king of Baby- 
lon, and say, How hath the oppres- 
sor ceased! the 3 golden city ceased! 

5 The Lord hath broken the 
staff of the wicked, and the sceptre 
of the rulers. 

6 He who smote the people in 
wrath with 4 a continual stroke, 
he that ruled the nations in anger, 
is persecuted, and none hindereth. 

7 The whole earth is at rest, and 
is quiet: they break forth into 
singing. 

8 Yea, d the fir trees rejoice at 
thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, 
saying, Since thou art laid down, 
no feller is come up against us. 

9 6 Hell from beneath is moved 
for thee to meet thee at thy coming: 
it stirreth up the dead for thee, even 
all the 6 chief ones of the earth; it 
hath raised up from their thrones 
all the kings of the nations. 

10 All they shall speak and say 
unto thee, Art thou also become 
weak as we? art thou become like 
unto us? 

11 Thy pomp is brought down to 
the grave, and the noise of thy 
viols: the worm is spread under 
thee, and the worms cover thee. 

12 How art thou fallen from 
heaven, 7 Lucifer, son of the 
morning ! how art thou cut down 
to the ground, which didst weaken 
the nations!

14 I will ascend above the heights

15 Yet thou * shalt be brought

thee, saying, Is this the man that 
made the earth to tremble, that 
did shake kingdoms; 

17 That made the world as a wil- 
derness, and destroyed the cities 
thereof ; that 8 opened not the house 
of his prisoners? 

18 All the kings of the nations, 
even all of them, he in glory, every- 
one in his own house: 

19 But thou art cast out of thy 
grave like an abominable branch, 
and as the raiment of those that 
are slain, thrust through with a 
sword, that go down to the stones 
of the pit; as a carcase trodden 
under feet. 

20 Thou shalt not be joined with 
them in burial, because thou hast 
destroyed thy land, and slain thy 
people: the seed of evil-doers shall 
never be renowned. 

21 Prepare slaughter for his chil- 
dren i for the iniquity of their fa- 
thers; that they do not rise, nor 
possess the land, nor fill the face 
of the world with cities. 

22 For I will rise up against them, 
saith the Lord of hosts, and cut 
off from Babylon the name, and 
remnant, * and son, and nephew, 
saith the Lord. 

23 I will also make it a possession 
for the bittern, and pools of water; 
and I will sweep it with the besom 
of destruction, saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

24 % The Lord of hosts hath 
sworn, saying, Surely as I have 
thought, so shall it come to pass; 
and as I have purposed, so shall it 
stand: 

25 That I will break the Assyrian 
in my land, and upon my moun- 
tains tread him under foot: then 
shall his yoke depart from off 
them, and his burden depart from 
off their shoulders. 

26 This is the purpose that is 
purposed upon the whole earth; 
and this is the hand that is stretched 
out upon all the nations.

28 1f In the year that m king Ahaz

29 f Kejoice not thou, whole

that smote thee is broken: for out

shall be a fiery flying serpent. 

30 And the first-born of the poor 
shall feed, and the needy shall lie 
down in safety: and I will kill thy 
root with famine, and he shall slay 
thy remnant. 

31 Howl, gate; cry, city; thou, 
whole Palestina, art dissolved: for 
there shall come from the north a 
smoke, and 10 none shall be alone 
in his " appointed times. 

32 What shall one then answer 
the messengers of the nation ? 
That the Lord hath founded

THE a burden of Moab. Because 
in the night 6 Ar of Moab is 
laid waste, and 1 brought to 
silence; because in the night Kir 
of Moab is laid waste, and brought 
to silence; 

2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to 
Dibon, the high places, to weep: 
Moab shall howl over Nebo, and 
over Medeba: on all their heads 
shall be baldness, and every beard 
cut off. 

3 In their streets they shall gird 
themselves with sackcloth: on the 
tops of their houses, and in their 
streets, every one shall howl, 

2 weeping abundantly. 

4 And ° Heshbon shall cry, and 
Elealeh: their voice shall be heard 
even unto Jahaz: therefore the 
armed soldiers of Moab shall ciy 
out; his life shall be grievous unto 
him. 

5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; 

3 his fugitives shall Jiee unto Zoar, 
an heifer of three years old: for by 
the d mounting up of Luhith with 
weeping shall they go it up; for in 
the way of Horonaim they shall 
raise up a cry of 4 destruction. 

6 For the waters of Nimrim 
shall be 6 desolate: for the hay is 
withered away, the grass faileth, 
there is no green thing.

CHAPTER XVL 
1 Moab exhorted to obedience to the throne 
of David, 6 and threatened for his pride 
with lamentable judgments. 

SEND a ye the lamb to the ruler 
of the land from * Sela to the 
wilderness, unto the mount of the 
daughter of Zion. 

2 For it shall be, that as a wan- 
dering bird 2 cast out of the nest, 
so the daughters of Moab shall be 
at the fords of 6 Arnon. 

3 3 Take counsel, execute judg- 
ment; make thy shadow as the 
night in the midst of the noon- 
day; hide the outcasts; bewray not 
him that wandereth. 

4 Let mine outcasts dwell with 
thee, Moab; be thou a covert to 
them from the face of the spoiler: 
for the 4 extortioner is at an end, 
the spoiler ceaseth, 5 the oppressors 
are consumed out of the land. 

5 And in mercy c shall the throne 
be 6 established; and he shall sit 
upon it in truth in the tabernacle 
of David, judging, and seeking 
judgment, and hasting righteous- 
ness. 

6 *[\ We have heard of the d pride 
of Moab; he is very proud: even of 
his haughtiness, and his pride, and 
his wrath: 7 but his lies shall not be 
so. 

7 Therefore shall Moab howl for 
Moab, every one shall howl: for 
the foundations of 6 Kir-hareseth 
shall ye 8 mourn; surely they are 
stricken. 

8 For the fields of Heshbon lan- 
guish, and the vine of Sibmah: the 
lords of the heathen have broken 
down the principal plants thereof, 
they are come even unto Jazer, 
they wandered through the wilder- 
ness: her branches are 9 stretched 
out, they are gone over the sea: 

9 Therefore 1 will bewail with the 
weeping of Jazer the vine of Sib- 
mah: 1 will water thee with my 
tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh; 
for 10 the shouting for thy summer 
fruits, and for thy harvest, is fallen. 

10 And gladness is taken away,

and joy out of the plentiful field; 
and in the vineyards there shall 
be no singing, neither shall there 
be shouting: the treaders shall 
tread out no wine in their presses; 

1 have made their vintage snouting 
to cease. 

11 Wherefore my bowels shall 
sound like an harp for Moab, and 
mine inward parts for Kir-haresh. 

12 And it shall come to pass, 
when it is seen that Moab is weary 
on the / high place, that he shall 
come to his sanctuary to pray; but 
he shall not prevail. 

13 This is the word that the Lord 
hath spoken concerning Moab 
since that time. 

14 But now the Lord hath spoken, 
saying, Within three years, 9 as the 
years of an hireling, and the glory 
of Moab shall be contemned, with 
all that great multitude; and the 
remnant shall be very small and 
11 feeble.

2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken; 
they shall be for flocks, which shall 
he down, and 6 none shall make 
them afraid. 

3 The c fortress also shall cease 
from Ephraim, and the kingdom 
from Damascus, and the remnant 
of Syria: they shall be as the glory 
of the children of Israel, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

4 And in that day it shall come 
to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall 
be made thin, and d the fatness of 
his flesh shall wax lean. 

5 And 6 it shall be as when the 
harvest-man gathereth the corn, 
and reapeth the ears with his 
arm; and it shall be as he that 
gathereth ears in the valley of 
Bephaim. 

6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be 
left in it, as the shaking of an 
olive tree, two or three berries in 
the top of the uppermost bough, 
four or five in the outmost fruitful 
branches thereof, saith the Lord 
God of Israel.

Israel

altars, the work of his hands,

5 For afore the harvest, when the 
bud is perfect, and the sour grape 
is ripening in the flower, he shall 
both cut off the sprigs with prun- 
ing-hooks, and take away and cut 
down the branches. 

6 They shall be left together unto 
the fowls of the mountains, and to 
the beasts of the earth: and the 
fowls shall summer upon them, 
and all the beasts of the earth 
shall winter upon them. 

7 *\ In that time a shall the pres- 
ent be brought unto the Lord of 
hosts of a people 7 scattered and 
peeled, and from a people terrible 
from their beginning hitherto; a 
nation meted out and trodden

THE burden of Egypt. Behold, 
the Lord rideth upon a swift 
cloud, and shall come into Egypt; 
and the idols of Egypt shall be 
moved at his presence, and the 
heart of Egypt shall melt in the 
midst of it. 

2 And I will 1 set the Egyptians 
against " the Egyptians: and they 
shall fight every one against his 
brother, and every one against his 
neighbour; city against city, and 
kingdom against kingdom. 

3 And the spirit of Egypt 2 shall 
fail in the midst thereof; and I 
will 3 destroy the counsel thereof: 
and they shall seek to the idols, 
and to the charmers, and to them 
that have familiar spirits, and to 
the wizards. 

4 And the Egyptians will I 4 give 
over into the hand of a cruel lord; 
and a fierce king shall rule over 
them, saith the Lord, the Lord of 
hosts. 

5 And 6 the waters shall fail from 
the sea, and the river shall be 
wasted and dried up. 

6 And they shall turn the rivers 
far away; and the brooks c of 
defence shall be emptied and dried 
up: the reeds and flags shall wither. 

7 The paper reeds by the brooks, 
by the mouth of the brooks, and 
every thing sown by the brooks, 
shall wither, be driven away, 6 and 
be no more.

and they have caused Egypt to 
err in every work thereof, as a 
drunken man staggereth in his 
vomit. 

15 Neither shall there be any 
work for Egypt, which the head or

16 In that day shall Egypt / be 
like unto women; and it shall be 
afraid and fear, because of the 
shaking of the hand of the Lord 
of hosts, which he shaketh over it. 

17 And the land of Judah shall 
be a terror unto Egypt; every one 
that maketh mention thereof shall 
be afraid in himself, because of the 
counsel of the Lord of hosts, which 
he hath determined against it. 

18 In that day shall five cities in 
the land of Egypt speak u the 
language of Canaan, and swear to 
the Lord of hosts: one shall be 
called, The city 12 of destruction. 

19 In that 9 day shall there be an 
altar to the Lord in the midst of 
the land of Egypt, and a pillar at 
the border thereof to the Lord. 

20 And h it shall be for a sign and 
for a witness unto the Lord of 
hosts in the land of Egypt: for 
they shall cry unto the Lord be- 
cause of the oppressors, and he 
shall send them a saviour, and a 
great one, and he shall deliver 
them. 

21 And the Lord shall be known 
to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall 
know the Lord in that day, * and 
shall do sacrifice and oblation;

the Lord, and perform it 

22 And the Lord shall smite 
Egypt; he shall smite and heal it: 
and they shall return even to the 
Lord, and he shall be entreated 
of them, and shall heal them. 

23 In that day i shall there be a 
highway out of Egypt to Assyria, 
and the Assyrian shall come into 
Egypt, and the Egyptian into 
Assyria; and the Egyptians shall 
serve with the Assyrians. 

24 In that day shall Israel be the 
third with Egypt and with Assyria, 
even a blessing in the midst of the 
land: 

25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall 
bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my 
people, and Assyria k the work of 
my hands, and Israel mine in- 
heritance. 

CHAPTER XX. 

By the prophetwalking naked and barefoot 
three years is prefigured the shameful 
captivity of Egypt and Ethiopia. 

IN the year that a Tartan came 
unto Ashdod, (when Sargon 
the king of Assyria sent him,) 
and fought against Ashdod, and 
took it; 

2 At the same time spake the 
Lord x by Isaiah the son of Amoz, 
saying, Go and loose l the sack- 
cloth from off thy loins, and put 
off thy shoe from thy foot. And 
he did so, c walking naked and 
barefoot. 

3 And the Lord said, Like as my 
servant Isaiah hath walked naked 
and barefoot three years d for a 
sign and wonder upon Egypt and 
upon Ethiopia; 

4 So .shall the king of Assyria 
lead away 2 the Egyptians pris- 
oners, and the Ethiopians cap- 
tives, young and old, naked and 
barefoot, e even with their buttocks 
uncovered, to the 3 shame of 
Egypt 

5 And' they shall be afraid and 
ashamed of Ethiopia their expec- 
tation, and of Egypt their glory. 

6 And the inhabitant of this 
4 isle shall say in that day, Behold, 
such is our expectation, whither 
we flee for help to be delivered 
from the king of Assyria: and how 
shall we escape?

2A 1 grievous vision is declared 
unto me; the 6 treacherous dealer 
dealeth treacherously, and the 
spoiler spoileth. c Go up, O Elam: 
besiege, O Media: all the sighing 
thereof have I made to cease. 

3 Therefore are my loins filled 
with pain: pangs have taken hold 
upon me, as the pangs of a woman 
that travaileth: 1 was bowed down 
at the hearing of it; I was dis- 
mayed at the seeing of it. 

4 2 My heart panted, tearfulness 
affrighted me: d the night of my 
pleasure hath he 3 turned into fear 
unto me. 

5 Prepare e the table, watch in 
the watch-tower, eat, drink: arise, 
ye princes, and anoint the shield. 

6 For thus hath the Lord said 
unto me, Go, set a watchman, let 
him declare what he seeth. 

7 And he saw a chariot with a 
couple of horsemen, a chariot of 
asses, and a chariot of camels; and 
he hearkened diligently with much 
heed: 

8 And * he cried, A lion: My lord, 
I stand continually upon / the 
watch-tower in the day time, and 
I am set in my ward 6 whole 
nights; 

9 And, behold, here cometh a 
chariot of men, with a couple of 
horsemen. And he answered and 
said, 9 Babylon is fallen, is fallen; 
and all the graven images of her 
gods he hath broken unto the 
ground. 

10 O h my threshing, and the 
6 corn of my floor: that which I 
have heard of the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, have I declared 
unto you.

CHAPTER XXIL 

Invasion of Jewry by the Persians. 

THE burden of the valley of 
vision. What aileth thee 
now, that thou art wholly gone 
up to the house-tops? 

2 Thou that art full of stirs, a 
tumultuous city, a joyous city : 
thy slain men are not slain with 
the sword, nor dead in battle. 

3 All thy rulers are fled together, 
they are bound * by the archers: 
all that are found in thee are 
bound together, which have fled 
from far. 

4 Therefore said I, Look away 
from me; 2 I will weep bitterly, 
labour not to comfort me, because 
of the spoiling of the daughter of 
my people. 

5 For it is a day of trouble, and 
of treading down, and of per- 
plexity a by the Lord God of hosts 
in the valley of vision, breaking 
down the walls, and of crying to 
the mountains. 

6 And 6 Elam bare the quiver with 
chariots of men and horsemen, 
and Kir 3 uncovered the shield. 

7 And it shall come to pass, that 
4 thy choicest valleys shall be full

hast thou here, that thou hast hew- 
ed thee out a sepulchre here, 6 as

glory shall be the shame of thy

he pull thee down.

thy robe, and strengthen him with 
thy girdle, and 1 will commit thy 
government into his hand; and he 
shall be l a father to the inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem, and to the house 
of Judah. 

22 And the key of the house 
of David will I lay upon his 
shoulder; so he shall open, and 
none shall shut; and he shall shut, 
and none shall open. 

23 And I will fasten him as m a 
nail in a sure place; and he shall 
be for a glorious throne to his 
father's house. 

24 And they shall hang upon 
him all the glory of his father's 
house, the offspring and the issue, 
all vessels of small quantity, from 
the vessels of cups, even to all the 

10 vessels of flagons. 

25 In that day, saith the Lord of 
hosts, shall the nail that is fastened 
in the sure place be removed, and 
be cut down, and fall; and the bur- 
den that was upon it shall be cut 
off: for the Lord hath spoken it.

CHAPTER XXIIL 

1 Miserable overthrow of Tyre: 17 ?ur 
restoration, etc 
HE a burden of Tyre. Howl, 
ye ships of Tarshish; for it is 
laid waste, so that there is no 
house, no entering in: from the 
land of Chittim it is revealed to 
them. 

2 Be x still, ye inhabitants of the 
isle; thou whom the merchants of 
Zidon, that pass over the sea, have 
replenished. 

3 And by great waters the seed 
of Sihor, the harvest of the river, 
is her revenue; and 6 she is a mart 
of nations. 

4 Be thou ashamed, Zidon; for 
the sea hath spoken, even the 
strength of the sea, saying, I tra- 
vail not, nor bring forth children, 
neither do I nourish up young 
men, nor bring up virgins. 

5 As c at the report concerning 
Egypt, so shall they be sorely 
pained at the report of Tyre. 

6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, 
ye inhabitants of the isle. 

7 Is this your d joyous city, whose 
antiquity is of ancient days? her 
own feet shall carry her 2 afar off 
to sojourn. 

8 Who hath taken this counsel 
against Tyre, e the crowning city, 
whose merchants are princes, 
whose traffickers are the honour- 
able of the earth? 

9 The Lobd of hosts hath pur- 
posed it, 3 to stain the pride of all 
glory, and to bring into contempt 
all the honourable of the earth. 

10 Pass through thy land as a 
river, daughter of Tarshish : 
there is no more 4 strength. 

11 He stretched out his hand 
over the sea; he shook the king- 
doms: the Lord hath given a 
commandment 5 against 6 the 
merchant city, to destroy the 
7 strong holds thereof. 

12 And he said/ Thou shalt no 
more rejoice, thou oppressed 
virgin, daughter of Zidon : arise, 
pass over to Chittim; there also 
gbalt thou have no rest. 

13 Behold the land of the Chal- 
deans; this people was not, till the 
Assyrian founded it for 9 them 
that dwell in the wilderness: they 
set up the towers thereof, they 
raised up the palaces thereof; and 
he brought it to ruin.

2 And it shall be, as with the

away, the world languisheth and 
fadeth away, 3 the haughty people

CHAPTER XXV. 

1 The prophet praises God for his past 
judgments; Gfor future salvation of his 
people, and for his victory over their en- 
emies. 

OLORD, thou art my God; a I 
will exalt thee, I will praise 
thy name; for thou hast done 
wonderful things; thy 5 counsels of 
old are faithfulness and truth. 

2 For thou hast made c of a city 
an heap; of a, defenced city a ruin: a 
palace of strangers to be no city; 
it shall never be built. 

3 Therefore shall the strong peo- 
ple d glorify thee, the city of the 
terrible nations shall fear thee. 

4 For thou hast been a strength 
to the poor, a strength to the 
needy in his distress, 6 a refuge 
from the storm, a shadow from 
the heat, when the blast of the 
terrible ones is as a storm against 
the wall. 

5 Thou shalt bring down the 
noise of strangers, as the heat in a 
diy place; even the heat with the 
shadow of a cloud: the branch of 
the terrible ones shall be brought 
low. 

6 % And in this mountain shall 
the/ Lord of hosts make unto 9 all 
people.a feast of fat things, a feast 
of wines on the lees, of fat things 
full of marrow, of wines on the 
lees well refined. 

7 And he will x destroy in this 
mountain the face of the covering 

2 cast over all people, and h the

it.

bring l down their pride together 
with the spoils of their hands. 
12 And the "* fortress of the high

CHAPTER XXVI. 

1 A song inciting to confidence in God: 20 
an exhortation to wait his coming to 
judgment. 

IN that day shall this song be 
sung in the land of Judah; We 
have a strong city; salvation will 
God appoint for walls and bul- 
warks. 

2 Open fl ye the gates, that the 
righteous nation which keepeth 
the 1 truth may enter in. 

3 Thou wilt keep him 2 in perfect 
peace, whose 3 mind is stayed on 
thee; because he trusteth in thee. 

4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: 
for in the Lord JEHOVAH is 
4 everlasting strength: 

5 % For he bringeth down them 
that dwell on high; the lofty city, 
he layeth it low; he layeth it low, 
even to the ground; he bringeth it 
even to the dust. 

6 The foot shall tread it down, 
even the feet of the poor, and the 
steps of the needy. 

7 The way of the just is upright- 
ness: thou, b most upright, dost 
weigh the path of the just. 

8 Yea, e in the way of thy judg- 
ments, Lord, have we waited 
for thee; the desire of our soul is to 
thy name, and to the remembrance 
of thee. 

9 With d my soul have I desired 
thee in the night; yea, with my 
spirit within me will I seek thee 
early: for e when thy judgments 
are in the earth, the inhabitants of 
the world will learn righteous- 
ness. 

10 Let / favour be showed to 
the wicked, yet will he not learn 
righteousness: in 9 the land of up- 
rightness will he deal unjustly, 
and will not behold the majesty 
of the Lord. 

11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted 
up, h they will not see: but they 
shall see, and be ashamed for their 
envy s at the people; yea, the fire 
of thine enemies shall devour 
them. 

12 ^[ Lord, thou wilt ordain peace 
for us: for thou also hast wrought 
all our works 6 in us. 

13 O Lord our God, * other lords 
besides thee have had dominion

make mention of thy name. 

14 They are dead, they shall not 
live; they are deceased, they shall 
not rise: therefore hast thou visited 
and destroyed them, and made all 
their memory to perish. 

15 Thou hast increased the na- 
tion, O Lord, thou hast increased 
the nation: thou art glorified: thou 
hast removed it far unto all the 
ends of the earth. 

16 Lord, i in trouble have they 
visited thee, they poured out a 
7 prayer when thy chastening was 
upon them. 

17 Like as a woman with child, 
that draweth near the time of her 
delivery, is in pain, and crieth out 
in her pangs; so have we been in 
thy sight, O Lord. 

18 We have been with child, we 
have been in pain, we have as it 
were brought forth wind; we have 
not wrought any deliverance in 
the earth, neither have k the in- 
habitants of the world fallen. 

19 Thy l dead men shall live, to- 
gether with my dead body shall they 
arise. m Awake and sing, ye that 
dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the 
dew of herbs, and the earth shall 
cast out the dead. 

20 ^ Come, my people, n enter 
thou into thy chambers, and shut 
thy doors about thee: hide thyself 
as it were ° for a little moment, 
until the indignation be overpast, 

21 For, behold, the Lord p cometh 
out of his place to punish the in- 
habitants of the earth for their 
iniquity: the earth also shall dis- 
close her 8 blood, and shall no 
more cover her slain.

IN that day the Lord with his 
sore and great and strong sword 
shall punish leviathan the 1 pierc-

crooked serpent; and he shall slay 
the b dragon that is in the sea. 

2 ^[ In that day sing ye unto her, 
A vineyard of red wine. 

3 I the Lord do keep it; I will 
water it every moment: lest any 
hurt it, I will keep it night and 
day.

ISAIAH, XXVIII. 



Ephraim threatened. 



5 Or let him take hold of my 
strength, that he may d make peace 
with me; and he shall make peace 
with me. 

6 He shall cause them that come 
of Jacob to e take root: Israel shall 
blossom and bud, and fill the face 
of the world with fruit. 

7 Hath he smitten him, 3 as he 
smote those that smote him? or is 
he slain according to the slaughter 
of them that are slain by him? 

8 In / measure, * when it shooteth 
forth, thou wilt debate with it: 5 be 
stayeth his rough wind in the day 
of the east wind. 

9 By this therefore shall the ini- 
quity of Jacob be purged; and this 
is all the fruit to take away his 
sin; when he maketh all the stones 
of the altar as chalk-stones that 
are beaten in sunder, the groves 
and 6 images shall not stand up. 

10 Yet the defenced city shall be 
desolate, and the habitation for- 
saken, and left like a wilderness: 
there 9 shall the calf feed, and there 
shall he he down, and consume 
the branches thereof. 

11 When the boughs thereof are 
withered, they shall be broken off: 
the women come, and set them on 
fire; for A it is a people of no un- 
derstanding : therefore he that 
made them will not have mercy 
on them, and he * that formed 
them will show them no favour. 

12 And it shall come to pass in 
that day, that the Lord shall beat 
off from the channel of the river 
unto the stream of Egypt, and ye 
shall be gathered one by one, ye 
children of Israel. 

13 And i it shall come to pass in 
that day, that k the great trumpet 
shall be blown, and they shall 
come which were ready to perish 
in the land of Assyria, and the 
outcasts in the land of Egypt, and

for a diadem of beauty, unto the

6 And for a spirit of judgment to 
him that sitteth in judgment, and 
for strength to them that turn the 
battle to the gate. 

7 But they also 6 have erred 
through wine, and through strong 
drink are out of the way; c the 
priest and the prophet have erred 
through strong drink, they are 
swallowed up of wine, they are 
out of the way through strong 
drink; they err in vision, they 
stumble in judgment. 

8 For all tables are full of vomit 
and filthiness, so that there is no 
place clean. 

9 Whom d shall he teach know- 
ledge? and whom shall he make 
to understand 4 doctrine? them that 
are weaned from the milk, and 
drawn from the breasts. 

10 For precept 5 must be upon 
precept, precept upon precept; line 
upon line, line upon line; here a 
little, and there a little: 

11 For with 6 stammering lips 
and another tongue 7 will he speak 
to this people. 

12 To whom he said, This e is the 
rest wherewith ye may cause the 
weary to rest; and this is the re- 
freshing: yet they would not hear. 

13 But the word of the Lord was 
unto them precept upon precept, 
precept upon precept; line upon 
line, line upon line; here a little, 
and there a little; that they might 
go, and fall backward, and be 
broken, and snared, and taken. 

14 % Wherefore hear the word of 
the Lord, ye scornful men, that 
rule this people which is in Jeru- 
salem. 

15 Because ye have said, We have 
made a covenant with death, and 
with hell are we at agreement; 
when the overflowing scourge shall 
pass through, it shall not come un- 
to us: for we have made lies our

refuge, and under falsehood have 
we hid ourselves. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a 
foundation / a stone, a tried stone, 
a precious comer stone, a sure 
foundation: he that helieveth shall 
not make haste. 

17 Judgment also will I lay to 
the line, and righteousness to the 
plummet: and the hail shall sweep 
away the refuge of lies, and the 
waters shall overflow the hiding 
place. 

18 And your covenant with death 
shall he disannulled, and your 
agreement with hell shall not 
stand; when the overflowing 
scourge shall pass through, then 
ye shall he 8 trodden down by it. 

19 From the time that it goeth 
forth it shall take you: for morning 
by morning shall it pass over, by 
day and by night; and it shall be a 
vexation only 9 to understand the 
report. 

20 For the bed is shorter than 
that a man can stretch himself on 
it; and the covering narrower 
than that he can wrap himself 
in it. 

21 For the Lord shall rise up as 
in " mount Perazim, he shall be 
wroth as in the valley of A Gibecn, 
that he may do his work, * his 
strange work; and bring to pass 
his act, his strange act. 

22 Xow therefore be ye not 
mockers, lest your bands be made 
strong; for I have heard from the 
Lord God of hosts a consumption, 
even determined upon the whole 
earth. 

23 ^\ Give ye ear, and hear my 
voice ; hearken, and hear my 
speech. 

24 Doth the plowman plow all 
day to sow? doth he open and 
break the clods of his ground? 

25 When he hath made plain the 
face thereof, doth he not cast 
abroad the fitches, and scatter the 
cummin, and cast in 10 the prin- 
cipal wheat, and the appointed 
barley, and the n rye, in their 
12 place? 

26 13 For his God doth instruct 
him to discretion, and doth teach 
him. 

27 For the fitches are not threshed 
with a threshing instrument, nei- 
ther is a cart wheel turned about 
upon the cummin; but the fitches 
are beaten out with a staff, and 
the cummin with a rod.

1 God's judgment upon Jerusalem. 17 A 
promise of betttr things in succeeding 
times. 

WOE 1 to Ariel, to Ariel, * the 
wV city where David dwelt! add 
ye year to year; let them 3 kill 
sacrifices. 

2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and 
there sball be heaviness and sor- 
row: and it shall be unto me as 
Ariel. 

3 And I will camp against thee 
round about, and will lay siege 
against thee with a mount, and I 
will raise forts against thee. 

4 And thou shalt be brought 
down, and shalt speak out of the 
ground, and thy speech shall be 
low out of the dust, and thy voice 
sball be, as of one that hath a 
familiar spirit, a out of the ground, 
and thy speech shall 4 whisper out 
of the dust. 

5 Moreover the multitude of thy 
strangers shall be like small dust, 
and the multitude of the terrible 
ones shall be as chaff that passeth 
away; yea, it shall be at an instant 
suddenly. 

6 Thou shalt be visited of the 
Lord of hosts with thunder, and 
with earthquake, and great noise, 
with storm and tempest, and the 
flame of devouring fire. 

7 And the multitude of all the 
nations that fight against Ariel, 
even all that fight against her and 
her munition, and that distress 
her, shall be as a dream of a night 
vision. 

8 It shall even be as when an 
hungry man dreameth, and, be- 
hold, he eateth; but he awaketh, 
and his soul is empty: or as when 
a thirsty man dreameth, and, be- 
hold, he drinketh; but he awaketb, 
and, behold, he is faint, and his soul 
hath appetite: so shall the multi- 
tude of all the nations be that fight 
against mount Zion. 

9 ^ Stay yourselves, and wonder; 
5 cry ye out, and cry: they are 
drunken, but not with wine; they 
stagger, but not with strong drink. 

10 For 6 the Lord hath poured 



Judah threatened for hypocrisy, ISAIAH, XXX. 



and for trusting in Egypt. 



out upon you the spirit of deep 
sleep, and hath closed ° your eyes: 
the prophets and your 6 rulers, the 
seers hath he covered. 

11 And the vision of all is become 
unto you as the words of a 7 book 
that is sealed, which men deliver 
to one that is learned, saying, Eead 
this, I pray thee: d and he saith, 
I cannot; for it is sealed: 

12 And the book is delivered to 
him that is not learned, saying, 
Eead this, I pray thee: and he 
saith, I am not learned. 

13 ^f Wherefore the Lord said, 
Forasmuch e as this people draw 
near me with their mouth, and 
with their lips do honour me, but 
have removed their heart far from 
me, and their fear toward me is 
taught by the / precept of men: 

14 Therefore, behold, 8 I will pro- 
ceed to do a marvellous work 
among this people, even a mar- 
vellous work and a wonder; 9 for 
the wisdom of their wise men shall 
perish, and the understanding of 
their prudent men shall be hid. 

15 Woe unto them that seek deep 
to hide their counsel from the 
Lord, and their works are in the 
dark, and A they say, Who seeth 
us? and who knoweth us? 

16 Surely your turning of things 
upside down shall be esteemed as 
the potter's clay : for shall the 
work * say of him that made it, He 
made me not? or shall the thing 
framed say of him that framed it, 
He had no understanding? 

17 % Is it not yet a very little 
while, and Lebanon shall be turn- 
ed into a fruitful held, and the 
fruitful field shall be esteemed as 
a forest? 

18 And in that day shall the deaf 
hear the words of the book, and 
the eyes of the blind shall see out 
of obscurity, and out of darkness. 

1 9 The 3 meek also 9 shall increase 
their joy in the Lord, and * the 
poor among men shall rejoice in 
the Holy One of Israel. 

20 For the terrible one is brought 
to nought, and the scorner is con- 
sumed, and all that l watch for 
iniquity are cut off: 

21 That make a man an offender 
for a word, and n lay a snare for 
him that reproveth in the gate, 
and turn aside the just n lor a 
thing of nought. 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 
who ° redeemed Abraham, con- 
cerning the house of Jacob, Jacob

rebuke of one; at the rebuke of

Folly of trusting to Egypt, and forsaking 

God. 

WOE to them ° that go down 
to Egypt for help, and 6 stay 
on horses, and trust in chariots, 
because they are many; and in 
horsemen, because they are very 
strong: but they look not unto the 
Holy One of Israel, c neither seek 
the Lord! 

2 Yet he also is wise, and will 
bring evil, and will not 1 call back 
his words: but will arise against 
the house of the evil-doers, and 
against the help of them that work 
iniquity. 

3 Now the Egyptians are d men, 
and not God; and their horses 
flesh, and not spirit. When the 
Lord shall stretch out his hand, 
both he that helpeth shall fall, and 
he that is holpen shall fall down, 
and they all shall fail together. 

4 For thus hath the Lord spoken 
unto me, Like as the lion and the 
young lion roaring on his prey, 
when a multitude of shepherds is 
called forth against him, he will 
not be afraid of their voice, nor 
abase himself for the 2 noise of 
them: so shall the Lord of hosts 
come down to fight for mount 
Zion, and for the hill thereof. 

5 As e birds flying, so will the 
Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; 
defending also he will deliver it; 
and passing over he will preserve it. 

6 ^| Turn ye unto him from whom 
the children of Israel have -^deeply 
revolted. 

7 For in that day every man shall 
cast away his idols of silver, and 
3 his idols of gold, which your own 
hands have made unto you for 9 a 
sin. 

8 Then shall the Assyrian h fall 
with the sword, not of a mighty 
man; and the sword, not of a mean 
man, shall devour him: but he 
shall flee 4 from the sword, and 
his young men shall be 5 discom- 
fited. 

9 And 6 he shall pass over to 7 his 
strong hold for fear, and his 
princes shall be afraid of the en- 
sign, saith the Lord, whose * fire 
is in Zion, and his furnace in Jeru-

BEHOLD, a a king shall reign in 
righteousness, and princes 
shall rule in judgment. 
. 2 And a man shall be as an hid- 
ing place from the wind, and a 
covert from the tempest; as rivers 
of water in a dry place; as the 
shadow of a x great rock in a weary 
land. 

3 And 6 the eyes of them that see 
shall not be dim; and the ears of 
them that hear shall hearken. 

4 The heart also of the 2 rash 
shall understand knowledge, and 
the tongue of the stammerers shall 
be ready to speak 3 plainly. 

5 The vile person shall be no more 
called liberal, nor the churl said to 
be bountiful. 

6 For the vile person will speak 
villany, and his heart will work 
iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and 
to utter error against the Lord, 
to make empty the soul of the 
hungry; and he will cause the 
drink of the thirsty to fail. 

7 The instruments also of the 
churl are evil: he deviseth wicked 
devices to destroy the poor with 
lying words, even 4 when the 
needy speaketh right 

8 But the liberal deviseth liberal 
things; and by liberal things shall 
he 5 stand. 

9 f Eise up, ye women c that are 
at ease; hear my voice, ye careless 
daughters; give ear unto my 
speech. 

10 6 Many days and years shall 
ye be troubled, ye careless women: 
for the vintage shall fail, the gath- 
ering shall not come. 

11 Tremble, ye women that are 
at ease; be troubled, ye careless 
ones; strip you, and make you 
bare, and gird sackcloth upon your 
loins. 

12 They shall lament for the teats, 
for 7 the pleasant fields, for the 
fruitful vine. 

13 Upon d the land of my people 
shall come up thorns and briers; 
8 yea, upon all the houses of joy in 
the joyous city: 

14 Because the palaces shall be 
forsaken; the multitude of the city 
shall be left; the 9 forts and towers 
shall be for dens for ever, a joy of

dealt not treacherously with thee! 
when h thou shalt cease to spoil, 
thou shalt be spoiled; and when 
thou shalt make an end to deal 
treacherously, they shall deal 
treacherously with thee. 

2 Lord, be gracious unto us; 
we have waited for thee: be thou 
their arm every morning, our sal- 
vation also in the time of trouble. 

3 At the noise of the tumult the 
people fled; at the rifting up of 
thyself the nations were scattered. 

4 And your spoil shall be gathered 
like the gathering of the cater-

dwelleth on high: he hath filled 
Zion with judgment and right- 
eousness.

11 Ye shall conceive chaff; ye 
shall bring forth stubble: your 
breath, as fire, shall devour you. 

12 And the people shall be as the 
burnings of lime; as thorns cut up 
shall they be burned in the fire. 

13 If Hear, ye that are far off, what 
I have done; and, ye that are near, 
acknowledge my might. 

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; 
fearfulness hath surprised the 
hypocrites: who among us shall 
dwell with the devouring fire ? who 
among us shall dwell with ever- 
lasting burnings? 

15 He that walketh 4 righteously, 
and speaketh 5 uprightly; he that 
despiseth the gain of 6 oppressions, 
that shaketh his hands from hold- 
ing of bribes, that stoppeth his ears 
from hearing of 7 blood, and skut- 
teth his eyes from seeing evil; 

16 He shall dwell on 8 high; his 
place of defence shall be the muni- 
tions of rocks; bread shall be given 
him, his waters shall be sure. 

17 Thine eyes shall see the King 
in his beauty; they shall behold 
9 the land that is very far off. 

18 Thine heart shall meditate 
terror. Where » is the scribe? 
where ts the 10 receiver? where is 
he that counted the towel's? 

19 Thou shalt not see a fierce 
people, i a people of deeper speech 
than thou canst perceive; of n a 
stammering tongue, that thou canst 
not understand. 

20 Look upon Zion, the city of 
our solemnities: thine eyes shall 
see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, 
a tabernacle that shall not be taken 
down; not one of the stakes thereof 
shall ever be removed, neither shall 
any of the cords thereof be broken: 

21 But k there the glorious Lord 
mil be unto us a place 12 of broad 
rivers and streams; wherein shall 
go no galley with oars, neither 
shall gallant ship pass thereby. 

22 For the Lord is our judge, the 
Lord is our 1S lawgiver, 4 the Lord 
is our king; he will save us. 

23 Thy 14 tacklings are loosed; 
they could not well strengthen 
their mast; they could not spread 
the sail: then is the prey of a great 
spoil divided; the lame take the 
prey. 

24 And the inhabitant shall not 
say, I am sick: m the people that 
dwell therein shall be forgiven their 

j iniquity.

CHAPTER XXXIV. 

1 Judgments wherewith God avenges his 
church. 16 Certainty of the prophecy. 

COME near, ye nations, to hear; 
and hearken, ye people: let 
the earth hear, and all x that is 
therein; the world, and all things 
that come forth of it. 

2 For the indignation of the 
Lord is upon all nations, and his 
fury upon all their armies: he hath 
utterly destroyed them, he hath 
delivered them to the slaughter. 

3 Their slain also shall be cast 
out, and their stink shall come up 
out of their carcases, and the 
mountains shall be melted with 
their blood. 

4 And a all the host of heaven 
shall be dissolved, and the heavens 
shall be rolled together as a scroll: 
and all their host shall fall down, 
as the leaf falleth off from the vine, 
and as a falling fig from the fig 
tree. 

5 For h my sword shall be bathed 
in heaven: behold, it c shall come 
down upon Idumea, and upon the 
people of my curse, to judgment. 

6 The sword of the Lord is filled 
with blood; it is made fat with 
fatness, and with the blood of 
lambs and goats, with the fat of 
the kidneys of rams: d for the Lord 
hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a 
great slaughter in the land of 
Idumea. 

7 And the 2 unicorns shall come 
down with them, and the bullocks 
with the bulls; and their land 
shall be 3 soaked with blood, and 
their dust made fat with fatness. 

8 For it is the day of the Lord's 
vengeance, and the year of recom- 
pences for the controversy of Zion. 

9 And the streams thereof shall 
be turned into pitch, and the dust 
thereof into brimstone, and the 
land thereof shall become burning 
pitch. 

10 It shall not be quenched 
night nor day; the smoke thereof 
shall go up for ever: e from gen- 
eration to generation it shall lie 
waste; none shall pass through it 
for ever and ever: 

11 But the 4 cormorant and the 
bittern shall possess it; the owl 
also and the raven shall dwell in 
it: and he shall stretch out upon 
it the line of confusion, and the 
stones of emptiness.

8 And an highway shall he there,

CHAPTER XXXVL 

1 Sennacherib invades Judah. 13 Mab- 
shakeh's blasphemous persuasions to the 
people. 

NOW a it came to pass in the 
fourteenth year of king Heze- 
kiah, that Sennacherib king of 
Assyria came up against all the 
defenced cities of Judah, and took 
them. 

2 And the king of Assyria sent 
Eabshakeh from b Lachish to Jeru- 
salem, unto king Hezekiah, with 
a great army. And he stood by 
the conduit of the upper pool in 
the highway of the fuller's held. 

3 Then came forth unto him Eli- 
akim, Hilkiah's son, which was 
over the house, and Shebna the 
1 scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, 
the recorder. 

4 And Eabshakeh said unto them, 
Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus 
saith the great king, the king of 
Assyria, What confidence is this 
wherein thou trustest? 

5 I say, sayest thou, (but they are 
but 2 vain words,) 3 I have counsel 
and strength for war: now, on 
whom dost thou trust, that thou 
rebellest against me? 

6 Lo, thou trustest in the 4 staff 
of this broken reed, on Egypt; 
whereon if a man lean, it will go 
into his hand, and pierce it: so is 
Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that 
trust in him. 

7 But if thou say to me, We trust 
in the Lord our God: is it not he 
whose high places and c whose 
altars Hezekiah hath taken away, 
and said to Judah and to Jerusa- 
lem, Ye shall worship before this 
altar? 

8 Now therefore 5 give pledges, 
I pray thee, to my master the king 
of Assyria, and I will give thee 
two thousand horses, if thou be

able on thy part to set riders up- 
on them. 

9 How then wilt thou turn away 
the face of one 6 captain of the 
least of my master's servants, and 
put thy trust on Egypt for chariots 
and for horsemen? 

10 And am I now come up with- 
out the Lord against this land to 
destroy it? The Lord said unto 
me, Go up against this land, and 
destroy it. 

11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna 
and Joah unto Eabshakeh, Speak, 
I pray thee, unto thy servants in 
the 7 Syrian language ; for we 
understand it: and speak not to 
us in the Jews' language, in the 
ears of the people that are on the 
wall. 

12 But Eabshakeh said, Hath my 
master sent me to thy master and 
to thee to speak these words? hath 
he not sent me to the men that sit 
upon the wall, that they may eat 
their own dung, and drink their 
own piss with you? 

13 Then Eabshakeh stood, and 
cried with a loud voice in the 
Jews' language, and said, Hear ye 
the words of the great king, the 
king of Assyria. 

14 Thus saith the king, Let not 
Hezekiah deceive you; for he shall 
not be able to deliver you. 

15 Neither let Hezekiah make 
you trust in the Lord, saying, 
The Lord will surely deliver us: 
this city shall not be delivered 
into the hand of the king of Assy- 
ria. 

16 Hearken not to Hezekiah; for 
thus saith the king of Assyria, 
8 Make an agreement with me by a 
present, and come out to me: d and 
eat ye every one of his vine, and 
every one of his fig tree, and drink j 
ye every one the waters of his 
own cistern; 

17 Until I come and take you 
away to a land like your own 
land, a land of corn and wine, a 
land of bread and vineyards. 

18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade 
you, saying, The Lord will deliver 
us. Hath any of the gods of the 
nations delivered his land out of 
the hand of the king of Assyria? 

19 Where are the gods of 6 fiamath 
and Arphad? where are the gods 
of Sepharvaim ? and have they 
delivered Samaria out of my hand? 

20 Who are they among all the 
gods of these lands, that have 
delivered their land out of my

hand, that / the Lord should de-

21 But they held their peace, and 
answered 9 him not a word: for 
the kiug's commandment was, 
saying, Answer him not. 

22 Then came Eliakim the son 
of Hilkiah, that was over the 
household, and Shehna the scribe, 
and Joah the son of Asaph, the 
recorder, to Hezekiah with h their 
clothes rent, and told him the 
words of Rabshakeh. 

CHAPTER XXXVIL 

1 Hezekiah, in deep affliction, sends to 
Isaiah to pray for them. 6 Isaiah com- 
forts them. 36 An angel destroys tlie 
Assyrians. 

AND a it came to pass, when king 
Hezekiah heard it, that he 
rent his clothes, and covered him- 
self with sackcloth, and went 6 in- 
to the house of the Lord. 

2 And he sent Eliakim, who was 
over the household, and Shebna 
the scribe, and the elders of the 
priests, covered with sackcloth, 
unto c Isaiah the prophet, the son 
of Amoz. 

3 And they said unto him, Thus 
saith Hezekiah, This day is a day 
of trouble, and of d rebuke, and of 
1 blasphemy: for the children are 
come to the birth, and there is not 
strength to bring forth. 

4 It may be the Lord thy God 
will hear the words of Rabshakeh, 
whom the king of Assyria his 
master hath sent to reproach the 
living God, and will reprove the 
words which the Lord thy God 
hath heard: wherefore e lift up thy 
prayer for the remnant that is 
Melt, 

5 So the servants of king Heze- 
kiah came to Isaiah. 

6 And Isaiah said unto them, 
Thus shall ye say unto your mas- 
ter, Thus saith the Lord, Be not 
afraid of the words that thou hast 
heard, wherewith the servants of 
the king of Assyria have blas- 
phemed me. 

7 Behold, I will 3 send a blast 
upon him, and he shall hear a 
rumour, and return to his own 
land; and I will cause him to fall 
by the sword in his own land. 

8 % So Rabshakeh returned, and 
found the king of Assyria warring 
against 'Libnah: for he had heard 
that he was departed fromLachish. 

9 And he heard say concerning 
Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is 
come forth to make war with

thee: and when he heard it, he 
sent messengers to Hezekiah, say- 
ing, 

10 Thus shall ye speak to Heze- 
kiah king of Judah, saying, Let 
not thy God in whom thou trust- 
est deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem 
shall not be given into the hand 
of the king of Assyria. 

11 Behold, thou hast heard what 
the kings of Assyria have done to 
all lands by destroying them ut- 
terly, and shalt thou be delivered? 

12 Have the gods of the nations 
delivered them which my fathers 
have destroyed, as Gozan, 9 and 
Haran, and Rezeph, and the 
children of Eden which were in 
Telassar? 

13 Where is the king of A Hamath T 
and the king of Arphad, and the 
king of the city of Sepharvaim, 
Hena, and lvah? 

14 1f And Hezekiah received the 
letter from the hand of the mes- 
sengers, and read it: and Hezekiah 
went up unto the house of the 
Lord, and spread it before the 
Lord. 

15 And Hezekiah prayed unto 
the Lord, saying, 

16 O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, 
that dwellest * between the cheru- 
bim, thou art the God, even thou 
alone, of all the kingdoms of the 
earth; thou hast made heaven and 
earth. 

17 Incline i thine ear, O Lord, 
and hear; open thine eyes, O Lord, 
and see; and hear all the words of 
Sennacherib, which hath sent to 
reproach the living God. 

18 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of 
Assyria have laid waste all the 
4 nations, and their countries, 

19 And have 5 cast their gods into 
the fire: for they were no gods, but 
the work of men's hands, wood 
and stone; therefore they have 
destroyed them. 

20 Now therefore, O Lord our 
God, save us from his hand, that 
all the kingdoms of the earth may 
know that thou art the Lord, even 
thou only. 

21 \ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz 
sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, 
Whereas thou hast prayed to 
me against Sennacherib king of 
Assyria: 

22 This is the word which the 
Lord hath spoken concerning 
him; The virgin, the daughter of 
Zion, hath despised thee, and 



Isaiah prophesies 



ISAIAH, XXXVIII. the destruction of the Assyrians. 



laughed thee to scorn; the daugh- 
ter of Jerusalem hath shaken her 
head at thee. 

23 Whom hast thou reproached 
and blasphemed ; and against 
whom bast thou exalted thy voice, 
and lifted up thine eyes on high? 
even against the Holy One of 
Israel. 

24 6 By thy servants hast thou 
reproached the Lord, and hast 
said, By the multitude of my char- 
iots am I come up to the height 
of the mountains, to the sides of 
Lebanon; and I will cut down the 

7 tall cedars thereof, and the choice 
fir trees thereof: and I will enter 
into the height of his border, and 

8 the forest of his Carmel. 

25 I have digged, and drunk 
water; and with the sole of my 
feet have I dried up all the rivers 
of the 9 besieged places. 

26 10 Hast thou not heard long 
ago, how I have done it; and of 
ancient times, that I have formed 
it? now have I brought it to pass, 
that thou shouldest be to lay 
waste defenced cities into ruinous 
heaps. 

27 Therefore their inhabitants 
were u of small power, they were 
dismayed and confounded : they 
were as the grass of the field, and 
as the green herb, as the grass on 
the house-tops, and as corn blasted 
before it be grown up. 

28 But 1 know thy 12 abode, and 
thy going out, and thy coming in, 
and thy rage against me. 

29 Because thy rage against me, 
and thy tumult, is come up into 
mine ears; therefore k will I put 
my hook in thy nose, and my 
bridle in thy lips, and I will turn 
thee back by the way by which 
thou earnest. 

30 And this shall be a sign unto 
thee, Ye shall eat this year such as 
groweth of itself; and the second 
year that which springeth of the 
same; and in the third year sow 
ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, 
and eat the fruit thereof. 

31 And 13 the remnant that is 
escaped of the house of Judah 
shall again take root downward, 
and bear fruit upward: 

32 For out of Jerusalem shall go 
forth a remnant, and u they that 
escape out of mount Zion : l the 
zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do 
this.

concerning the king of Assyria,

was worshipping in the house of

CHAPTER XXX VHI. 

4 Hezekiah's life lengthened. 9 His 
thanksgiving. 

IN" a those days was Hezekiah 
sick unto death. And Isaiah 
the prophet, the son of Amoz, 
came unto him, and said unto 
him, Thus saith the Lord, x Set 
thine house in order: for thou shalfc 
die, and not live. 

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face 
toward the wall, and prayed unto 
the Lord, 

3 And said, h Remember now, O 
Lord, I beseech thee, how I have 
walked before thee in truth and 
with a perfect heart, and have 
done that which is good in thy sight: 
and Hezekiah wept 2 sore. 

4 Then came the word of the 
Lord to Isaiah, saying, 

5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus 
saith the Lord, the God of David 
thy father, I have heard thy 
prayer, I have seen thy tears : be- 
hold, I will add unto thy days 
fifteen years. 

6 And I will deliver thee and 
this city out of the band of the 
king of Assyria: and c I will defend 
this city. 

7 And this shall be d & sign unto 
thee from the Lord, that the Lord 
will do this thing that he hath 
spoken;

ISAIAH, XXXIX, XL. Babylonian captivity foretold. 



8 Behold, I will bring again the 
shadow of the degrees, which is 
gone down in the 3 sun-dial of 
Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So 
the sun returned ten degrees, by 
which degrees it was gone down. 

9 \ The writing of Hezekiah 
king of Judah, when he had been 
sick, and was recovered of his 
sickness: 

10 I said in the cutting off of my 
days, I shall go to the gates of the 
grave: *I am deprived of the 
residue of my years. 

11 1 said, 1 shall not see the Lord, 
even the Lord, / in the land of the 
living : I shall behold man no 
more with the inhabitants of the 
world. 

12 Mine 9 age is departed, and is 
removed from me as a shepherd's 
tent: I have cut off like a weaver 
my life; he will cut me off 4 with 
pining sickness: from day even to 
night wilt thou make an end of me. 

13 I reckoned till morning, that, 
as a lion, so will he break all my 
bones: from day even to night wilt 
thou make an end of me. 

14 Like a crane or a swallow, so 
did I chatter; h I did mourn as a 
dove: mine eyes fail with looking 
upward: Lord, I am oppressed; 
undertake for me. 

15 What shall I say? he hath 
both spoken unto me, and himself 
hath done it: I shall go softly all 
my years * in the bitterness of my 
soul. 

16 Lord, by these things men 
live, and in all these things is the 
life of my spirit: so wilt thou re- 
cover me, and make me to live. 

17 Behold, 6 for peace I had great 
bitterness; but 7 thou hast in love 
to my soul delivered it from the pit 
of corruption: for thou hast cast 
all my sins behind thy back. 

18 For i the grave cannot praise 
thee, death can not celebrate thee: 
they that go down into the pit 
cannot hope for thy truth. 

19 The living, the living, he shall 
praise thee, as I do this day: k the 
father to the children shall make 
known thy truth. 

20 The Lord was ready to l save 
me: therefore we will sing my 
songs to the stringed instruments 
all the days of our life in the house 
of the Lord.

CHAPTEK XXXIX. 

1 Merodach -baladan, sending to visit 
Hezekiah, hath notice of Ids treasures. 
3 Isaiah foretells the Babylonian cap- 
tivity. 

AT a that time Merodach-bala- 
dan, the son of Baladan, king 
of Babylon, sent letters and a pres- 
ent to Hezekiah: for he had heard 
that he had been sick, and was 
recovered. 

2 And 6 Hezekiah was glad of 
them, and showed them the house 
of his * precious things, the silver, 
and the gold, and the spices, and 
the precious ointment, and all the 
house of his 2 armour, and all that 
was found in his treasures : there 
was nothing in his house, nor in 
all his dominion, that Hezekiah 
showed them not. 

3 % Then came Isaiah the prophet 
unto king Hezekiah, and said unto 
him, What said these men? and 
from whence came they unto thee? 
And Hezekiah said, They are come 
from a far country unto me, even 
from Babylon. 

4 Then said he, What have they 
seen in thine house? And Heze- 
kiah answered, All that is in mine 
house have they seen: there is 
nothing among my treasures that 
I have not showed them. 

5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, 
Hear the word of the Lord of 
hosts: 

6 Behold, the days come, c that 
all that is in thine house, and that 
which thy fathers have laid up in 
store until this day, shall be carried 
to Babylon: nothing shall be left, 
saith the Lord. 

7 And of thy sons that shall issue 
from thee, which thou shalt beget, 
shall they take away; and d they 
shall be eunuchs in the palace of 
the king of Babylon. 

8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, 
Good e is the word of the Lord 
which thou hast spoken. He said 
moreover, For there shall be peace 
and truth in my days.

received of the Lord's hand double 
for all her sins. 

3 If The a voice of him that crieth 
in the wilderness, 6 Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord, make straight 
in the desert a highway for our 
God. 

4 Every valley shall be exalted, 
and every mountain and hill shall 
be made low: and the crooked 
shall be made 3 straight, and the 
rough places 4 plain: 

5 And c the glory of the Lord 
shall be revealed, and all flesh 
shall see it together: for the mouth 
of the Lord hath spoken it. 

6 The voice said, Cry. And he 
said, What shall I cry? AD flesh 
is grass, and all the goodliness 
thereof is as the flower of the 
field: 

7 The grass withereth, the flower 
fadeth; because the spirit of the 
Lord bloweth upon it: surely the 
people is grass. 

8 The grass withereth, the flower 
fadeth; but d the word of our God 
shall stand for ever. 

9 If 5 Zion, that bringest good 
tidings, get thee up into the high 
mountain ; 6 Jerusalem, that 
bringest good tidings, lift up thy 
voice with strength; lift it up, be 
not afraid; say unto the cities of 
Judah, Behold your God! 

10 Behold, the Lord God will 
come 7 with strong hand, and his 
arm shall rule for him; behold, his 
reward is with him, and 8 his work 
before him. 

11 He shall e feed his flock like a 
shepherd; he shall gather the lambs 
with his arm, and carry them in his 
bosom, and shall gently lead those 
9 that are with young. 

12 % Who hath measured the 
waters in the hollow of his hand, 
and meted out heaven with the 
span, and comprehended the dust 
of the earth in 10 a measure, and 
weighed the mountains in scales, 
and the hills in a balance? 

13 Who hath directed the Spirit 
of the Lord, or, being ll his coun- 
sellor, hath taught him? 

14 With whom took he counsel, 
and who u instructed him, and 
taught him in the path of judg- 
ment, and taught him knowledge, 
and showed to him the way of 
13 understanding? 

15 Behold, the nations are as a 
drop of a bucket, and are counted 
as the small dust of the balance:

20 He that u is so impoverished

21 Have h ye not known? have

22 15 It is he that sitteth upon the

heavens as a curtain, and spread- 
eth them out as a tent to dwell 
in; 

23 That bringeth the i princes to

the earth as vanity. 

24 Yea, they shall not be planted; 
yea ; they shall not be sown; yea, 
their stock shall not take root in 
the earth: and he shall also blow 
upon them, and they shall wither,

behold who hath created these 
things, that bringeth out then host 
by number: l he calleth them all 
by names by the greatness of his 
might, for that he is strong in 
power; not one faileth. 

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob,

KEEP silence before me, 
islands; and ]et the people 
renew their strength: let them 
come near, then let them speak: 
let us come near together to judg- 
ment. 

2 Who raised up x the righteous 
man a from the east, called him to 
his foot, gave 6 the nations before 
him, and made him rule over kings? 
he gave them as the dust to his 
sword, and as driven stubble to his 
bow. 

3 He pursued them, and passed 

2 safely; even by the way that he 
had not gone with his feet. 

4 Who c hath wrought and done 
it, calling the generations from the 
beginning? I the Lord, the d first, 
and with the last; I am he. 

5 The isles saw it, and feared; the 
ends of the earth were afraid, drew 
near, and came. 

6 They helped every one his 
neighbour; and every one said to 
his brother, 3 Be of good courage. 

7 So the carpenter encouraged the 
* goldsmith, and he that smootheth 
with the hammer 5 him that smote 
the anvil, 6 saying, It is ready for 
the soldering: and he fastened it 
with nails, that it should not be 
moved. 

8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, 
Jacob whom I have chosen, the 
seed of Abraham my e friend. 

9 Thou whom I have taken from

2 He shall not cry, nor lift up,

3 A bruised reed shall he not 
break, and the x smoking flax shall 
he not 2 quench: he shall bring 
forth judgment unto truth. 

4 He d shall not fail nor be 3 dis- 
couraged, till he have set judgment 
in the earth: 6 and the isles shall 
wait for his law.

9 Behold, the former things are 
come to pass, and new things do I 
declare: before they spring forth 
I tell you of them. 

10 T[ Sing m unto the Lord a new 
song, and his praise from the end 
of the earth, ye n that go down to 
the sea, and 4 all that is therein; 
the isles, and the inhabitants 
thereof. 

11 Let the wilderness and the 
cities thereof lift up their voice, the 

j villages that Kedar doth inhabit: 
; let the inhabitants of the rock 
I sing, let them shout from the top 
J of the mountains. 
I 12 Let them give glory unto the 
j Lord, and declare his praise in the 
islands. 

13 The Lord shall go forth as a 
mighty man, he shall stir up jeal- 
ousy like a man of war: he shall 
ciy, yea, roar; he shall 5 prevail 
against his enemies. 

14 I have long time holden my 
peace; I have been still, and re- 
frained myself: now will I cry like 
a travailing woman; I will destroy 
and 6 devour at once. 

15 I will make waste mountains 
and hills, and dry up all their 
herbs; and I will make the rivers 
islands, and I will dry up the pools. 

16 And I will bring the blind by 
a way that they knew not; I will 
lead them in paths that they have 
not known: 1 will make darkness 
light before them, and crooked 
things 7 straight. These things 
will I do unto them, and not for- 
sake them. 

17 They shall be turned back, 
they shall be greatly ashamed, 
that trust in graven images, that 
say to the molten images, Ye are 
our gods. 

18 f Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye 
blind, that ye may see. 

19 Who ° is blind, but my servant? 
or deaf, as my messenger that 1 
sent? who is blind as he that is 
perfect, and blind as the Lord's 
servant? 

20 Seeing many things, p but thou 
observest not; opening the ears, 
but he heareth not. 

21 The Lord is well pleased for 
his righteousness' sake ; he will 
magnify the law, and make 8 it 
honourable.

and spoiled; 9 they are all of them

snared in holes, and they are hid 
in prison houses: they are for a 
prey, and none delivereth; for 10 a 
spoil, and none saith, Restore. 

23 Who among you will give ear 
to this? who will hearken, and hear 
11 for the time to come? 

24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, 
and Israel to the robbers? did not 
the Lord, he against whom we 
have sinned? for they would not 
walk in his ways, neither were 
they obedient unto his law. 

25 Therefore he hath poured upon 
him the fury of his anger, and the 
strength of battle: s and it hath 
set him on fire round about, r yet 
he knew not; and it burned him, 
yet he laid it not to heart. 

CHAPTER XLIH. 

1 The Lord comforts the church with his 
promises: 14 he foretells Babylon's de- 
struction, 18 and his people's deliver- 
ance. 

BUT now thus saith the Lord 
that created thee, Jacob, 
and he that formed thee, Israel, 
Fear not: °for I have redeemed 
thee, h l have called thee by thy 
name; thou art mine. 

2 When c thou passest through 
the waters, I d will be with thee; 
and through the rivers, they shall 
not overflow thee: when * thou 
walkest through the fire, thou 
shalt not be burned; neither shall 
the flame kindle upon thee. 

3 For I am the Lord thy God, 
the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: 
I 'gave Egypt for thy ransom, 
Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 

4 Since thou wast ? precious in 
my sight, thou hast been honour- 
able, and I have loved thee: there- 
fore will I give men for thee, and 
people for thy * life. 

5 Fear ft not; for I am with thee: 
1 will bring thy seed from the 
east, and gather thee from the 
west; 

6 I will say to the north, Give 
up; and to the south, Keep not 
back: bring my sons from far, and 
my daughters from the ends of 
the earth; 

7 Even every one that is i called 
by my name: for *' I have created 
him for my glory, I have formed 
him; yea, I have made him.

assembled: who among them can 
declare this, and show us former 
things? let them bring forth their 
witnesses, that they may be justi- 
fied: or let them hear, and say, It 
is truth. 

10 Ye l are my witnesses, saith 
the Lord, and my m servant whom 

1 have chosen; that ye may know 
and believe me, and understand 
that I am he: before me there was 

2 no God formed, neither shall 
there be after me. 

Ill, even I, am the Lord; and be- 
sides me there is no saviour. 

12 I have declared, and have 
saved, and I have showed, when 
there was no n strange god among 
you: therefore ye are my witnesses, 
saith the Lord, that I am God. 

13 Yea, ° before the day was I am 
he; and there is none that can de- 
liver out of my hand: I will work, 
and who shall 3 let it? 

14 Tf Thus saith the Lord, your 
Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; 
For your sake I have sent to Baby- 
lon, and have brought down all 
their i nobles, and the Chaldeans, 
whose cry is in the ships. 

15 1am the Lord, your Holy One, 
the Creator of Israel, your p King. 

16 Thus saith the Lord, q which 
maketh a way in the sea, and a 
path in the mighty waters; 

17 Which r bringeth forth the 
chariot and horse, the army and 
the power; they shall lie down 
together, they shall not rise: they 
are extinct, they are quenched as 
tow. 

18 Eemember ye not the former 
things, neither consider the things 
of old. 

19 Behold, I will do a 8 new thing:

not know it? I will even make a 
way in the wilderness, and rivers 
in fhf* flp^f^rf - 

20 The beast of the field shall

5 owls: because * I give waters in 
the wilderness, and rivers in the

not caused thee to serve with an 
offering, nor wearied thee with 
incense. 

24 Thou hast bought me no sweet 
cane with money, neither hast 
thou 7 rilled me with the fat of thy 
sacrifices; but thou hast made me 
to serve with thy sins, thou hast 
wearied w me with thine iniquities. 

25 I, even I, am he that x blotteth 
out thy transgressions y for mine 
own sake, and will not remember 
thy sins. 

26 Put me in remembrance: let 
us plead together : declare thou, 
that thou mayest be justified. 

27 Thy z first father hath sinned, 
and thy s teachers have trans- 
gressed against me. 

28 Therefore a I have profaned 
the 9 princes of the sanctuary, and 
have 6 given Jacob to the curse, 
and Israel to reproaches. 

CHAPTEE XLIV. 

1 God's church comforted. 9 Vanity of 
idols. 21 God exhorts Israel to trust in 
his mercy. 

YET now hear, a Jacob my 
servant; and Israel, whom I 
have chosen: 

2 Thus saith the Lord that made 
thee, and formed thee from the 
womb, which will help thee; Fear 
not, Jacob, my servant; and 
thou, b Jesurun, whom I have 
chosen. 

3 For 1 will c pour water upon 
him that is thirsty, and floods 
upon the dry ground: I will pour 
my Spirit upon thy seed, and my 
blessing upon thine offspring: 

4 And they shali spring up as 
among the grass, as willows by the 
water-courses. 

5 One shall say, I am the Lord's; 
and another shall call himself by 
the name of Jacob; and another 
shall d subscribe with his hand unto 
the Lord, and surname himself by 
the name of Israel. 

6 Thus saith the Lord the King 
of Israel, and e his Redeemer the 
Lord of hosts; flam the first, and 
I 077i the last; and besides me there 
is no God. 

7 And who, as I, shall call, and 
shall declare it, and set it in 
order for me, since I appointed 
the ancient people? and the things 
that are coming, and shall come, 
let them show unto them. 

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: 
have not I told thee from that 
time, and have declared it? ye are 
even my witnesses. Is there a

their 2 delectable things shall not

nesses; * they see not, nor know;

10 Who hath formed a god, or 
molten a graven imaged thai is 
profitable for nothing? 

11 Behold, all his fellows shall 
be k ashamed; and the workmen,

shall be ashamed together. 

12 The l smith 3 with the tongs 
both worketh in the coals, and , 
fashioneth it with hammers, and 
worketh it with the strength of his | 
arms: yea, he is hungry, and his ! 
strength faileth: he drinketh no 
water, and is faint. 

13 The carpenter stretcheth out 
his rule, he marketh it out with 
a fine, he fitteth it with planes, 
and he marketh it out with the 
compass, and maketh it after the 
figure of a man, according to the 
beauty of a man; that it may re- 
main in the house. 

14 Ee heweth him down cedars,

oak, w hich he 4 strengthened for 
himself among the trees of the 
forest: he planteth an ash, and the 
rain doth nourisja it. 

15 Then shall it be for a man to 
burn: for he will take thereof, and 
warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, 
and baketh bread; yea, he maketh 
a god, and worshippeth it; he 
maketh it a graven image, and 
falltth down thereto.

also 1 have baked bread upon the 
coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, 
and eaten it: and shall I make the 
residue thereof an abomination ? 
shall I fall down to 7 the stock of

20 He feedeth on ashes: ° a de- 
ceived heart hath turned him 
aside, that he cannot deliver his 
soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in 
my right hand? 

21 ^ Remember these, Jacob 
and Israel; for thou art my ser- 
vant: I have formed thee; thou 
art my servant: Israel, thou shalt 
not be forgotten of me. 

22 I p have blotted out, as a thick 
cloud, thy transgressions, and, as 
a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; 
for I have q redeemed thee. 

23 Sing, r ye heavens; for the 
Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower 
parts of the earth: break forth into 
singing, ye mountains, forest, 
and every tree therein: for the 
Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and 
glorified himself in Israel. 

24 Thus saith the Lord, * thy 
Eedeemer, and ' he that formed 
thee from the womb, I am the 
Lord that maketh all things; that 
stretcheth M forth the heavens 
alone; that spreadeth abroad the 
earth by myself; 

25 That frustrateth the * tokens 
of the bars, and maketh diviners 
mad; that turneth wise men back- 
ward, w and maketh their know- 
ledge foolish; 

26 That x confirmeth the word of 
his servant, and performeth the 
counsel of his messengers ; that 
saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be 
inhabited; and to the cities of 
Judah, Ye shall be built, and I 
will raise up the 8 decayed places 
thereof:

3 And I will give thee the treas- 
ures of darkness, and hidden 
riches of secret places, that thou 
mayest know that I the Lord, 
which call b thee by thy name, am 
the God of Israel. 

4 For c Jacob my servant's sake, 
and Israel mine elect, I have even

surnamed thee, though thou hast

5 I 6 am the Lord, and there is

hast not known me: 

6 That 9 they may know from

I am the Lord, and there is none

7 I form the light, and create 
darkness; I make peace, h and 
create evil: I the Lord do all these 
things. 

8 Drop * down, ye heavens, from

it.

Salvation offered to all nations. ISAIAH, XLVL God's judgments on Babylon. 



14 Thus saith the Lord, 8 The 
labour of Egypt, and merchandise 
of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, 
men of stature, shall come over 
unto thee, and they shall be thine: 
they shall come after thee; in 
chains they shall come over, and 
they shall fall down unto thee, 
they shall make supplication unto 
thee, saying, r Surely God is in thee; 
and there is none else, there is no 
God. 

15 Verily thou art a God 'that 
hidest thyself, God of Israel, the 
Saviour. 

16 They shall be ashamed, and 
also confounded, all of them: they 
shall go to confusion together that 
are makers of idols. 

17 But % . Israel shall be saved in 
the Lord with an everlasting sal- 
vation: ye shall not be ashamed 
nor confounded world without end. 

18 For thus saith the Lord that 
created the heavens, God himself 
that formed the earth, and made 
it; he hath established it, he cre- 
ated it not in vain, he formed it to 
be inhabited: I am the Lord; and 
there is none else. 

19 I have not spoken in u secret, 
in a dark place of the earth: I said 
not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek 
ye me in vain: v I the Lord speak 
righteousness, I declare things 
that are right. 

20 ^f Assemble yourselves and 
come; draw near together, ye that 
are w escaped of the nations: * they 
have no knowledge that set up 
the wood of their graven image, 
and pray unto a god that cannot 
save. 

21 Tell ye, and bring them near; 
yea, let them take counsel together: 
who hath declared this from an- 
cient time? who hath told it from 
that time? have not I the Lord? 
and there is no God else besides me; 
a just God, and a Saviour; there is 
none besides me. 

22 3 Look unto me, and be ye 
saved, all the ends of the earth; 
for I am God, and there is none 
else. 

23 I y have sworn by myself, the 
word is gone out of my mouth in 
righteousness, and shall not return, 
That unto me every z knee shall 
bow, a every tongue shall swear. 

24 4 Surely, shall one say, In the 
Lord have I 5 righteousness and 
strength: even to him shall men 
come; and all that are incensed 
against him shall be ashamed.

stoopeth; their idols were

cattle: your carriages were heavy 
loaden; * they are a burden to the 
weary beast 

2 They stoop, they bow down 
together; they could not deliver 
the burden, but ] themselves are 
gone into captivity. 

3 ^ Hearken unto me, O house of 
Jacob, and all the remnant of the 
house of Israel, which c are borne 
by me from the belly, which are 
carried from the womb: 

4 And even to your old age d I am

carry you; I have made, and I will 
bear; even I will carry, and will 
deliver you. 

5 % To whom will ye liken me,

6 They lavish gold out of the bag,

eth it a god: they fall down, yea, 
they worship. .

him in his place, and he standeth; 
from his place shall he not remove: 
yea, one shall cry unto him, yet

CHAPTER XLVII. 

1- God's judgments upon Babylon for her 
unmerciful dealings and pride shall be 
irresistible. 

COME a down, and sit in the 
dust, O virgin daughter of 
Bahylon, sit on the ground: there 
is no throne, daughter of the 
Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more 
be called tender and delicate. 

2 Take h the millstones, and 
grind meal: uncover thy locks, 
make bare the leg, uncover the 
thigh, pass over the rivers. 

3 Thy c nakedness shall be un- 
covered, yea, thy shame shall be 
seen: d I will take vengeance, and 
I will not meet thee as a man. 

4 If As for our Redeemer, the 
Lord of hosts is his name, the 
Holy One of Israel. 

5 Sit thou e silent, and get tbee 
into darkness, daughter of the 
Chaldeans : / for thou shalt no 
more be called The lady of king- 
doms. 

6 P was wroth with my people, 
I have polluted mine inheritance, 
and given them into thine hand: 
thou didst show them no mercy; 
upon A the ancient hast thou very 
heavily laid thy yoke. 

7 And thou saidst, I shall be f a 
lady for ever: so that thou didst 
not lay these things to thy heart, 
neither didst remember the latter 
end of it. 

8 Therefore hear now this, thou 
that art given to pleasures, that 
dwellest carelessly, that sayest in 
thine heart, i I am, and none else 
besides me; * I shall not sit as a 
widow, neither shall 1 know the 
loss of children: 

9 But these two things shall come 
to thee in l a moment in one day, 
the loss of children, and widow- 
hood: they shall come upon thee 
in their perfection m for the mul- 
titude of thy sorceries, and for the 
great abundance of thine enchant- 
ments. 

10 For thou n hast trusted in thy 
wickedness: ° thou hast said, None 
seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy 
knowledge, it hath x perverted 
thee; and thou hast said in thine 
heart, I am, and none else besides 
me. 

11 Therefore shall evil come upon 
thee; thou shalt not know 2 from 
whence it riseth: and mischief

which are called by the name 
of Israel, and are come forth out 
of the waters of Judah, a which 
swear by the name of the Lord, 
and make mention of the God of 
Israel, but not in truth, nor in 
righteousness. 

2 For they call themselves of the 
holy city, and b stay themselves 
upon the God of Israel: The Lord 
of hosts is his name. 

3 I have declared the former 
things from the beginning; and 
they went forth out of my mouth, 
and I showed them; I did them 
suddenly, c and they came to 
pass. 

4 Because I knew that thou art 
1 obstinate, and d thy neck is an 
iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 

5 I have even from the beginning 
declared it to thee; before it came 
to pass I showed it thee: lest thou 
shouldest say, Mine idol hath done 
them, and my graven image, and 
my molten image, hath com- 
manded them. 

6 Thou hast heard, see all this; 
and will not ye declare it? I have 
showed thee new things from this

time, even hidden things, and thou 
didst not know them. 

7 They are created now, and not 
from the beginning; even before 
the day when thou heardest them 
not; lest thou shouldest say, Be- 
hold, I knew them. 

8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, 
thou knewest not; yea, from that 
time that thine ear was not opened : 
for I knew that thou wouldest deal 
very treacherously, and wast called 
a e transgressor from the womb. 

9 ^[ For / my name's sake will I 
defer mine anger, and for my praise 
will I refrain for thee, that I cut 
thee not off. 

10 Behold, 9 I have refined thee, 
but not 2 with silver; I have chosen 
thee in the furnace of affliction. 

11 For mine own sake, even for 
mine own sake, will I do it: h for 
how should my name be polluted? 
and * I will not give my glory unto 
another. 

12 % Hearken unto me, Jacob 
and Israel, my called; ? I am he; 
I am k the first, I also am the last. 

13 Mine l hand also hath laid 
the foundation of the earth, and 
3 my right hand hath spanned the 
heavens: when I call unto them, 
they stand up together. 

14 All ye, assemble yourselves, 
and hear; which among them bath 
declared these things? The Lord 
hath loved him: he will do his 
pleasure on Babylon, and his arm 
shall be on the Chaldeans. 

15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I 
have called him: I have brought 
him, and he shall make his way 
prosperous. 

16 ^f Come ye near unto me, hear 
ye this; I have not spoken in secret 
from the beginning; from the time 
that it was, there am I: and now 
the m Lord God, and his Spirit, 
hath sent me. 

17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Be- 
deemer, the Holy One of Israel; I 
am the Lord thy God which 
teacheth thee to profit, n which 
leadeth thee by the way tJuzt thou 
shouldest go. 

18 ° that thou hadst hearkened 
to my commandments! then bad 
thy peace been as a river, and thy 
righteousness as the waves of the 
sea: 

19 Thy p seed also had been as 
the sand, and the offspring of thy 
bowels like the gravel thereof; his 
name should not have been cut off 
nor destroyed from before me.

CHAPTEE XLIX. 

1 Christ being sent to the Jews, complains 
of them: 5 he is sent to the Gentiles. 13 
Goa's love to the church perpetual. 

LISTEN, O isles, unto me; and 
hearken, ye people, from far; 
The a Lord hath called me from 
the womb; from the bowels of my 
mother hath he made mention of 
my name. 

2 And he hath made b my mouth 

like a sharp sword; in the shadow 

of his hand hath he hid me, and 

i made me a polished shaft; in his 

j quiver hath he hid me; 

j 3 And said unto me, ° Thou art 

my servant, O Israel, d in whom I 

will be glorified. 

4 Then 6 1 said, 1 have laboured 
in vain, I have spent my strength 
for nought, and in vain; yet surely 
my judgment is with the Lord, 
and x my work with my God. 

5 And now, saith the Lord that 
formed me from the womb to be 
his servant, to bring Jacob again 
to him, 2 Though Israel be not 
gathered, yet shall I be glorious in 
the eyes of the Lord, and my God 
shall be my strength. 

6 And he said, 3 It is a fight thing 
that thou shouldest be my servant 
to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and 
to restore the i preserved of Israel; 
I will also give thee for a light/ to 
the Gentiles, that thou mayest be 
my salvation unto the end of the 
earth. 

7 H Thus saith the Lord, the 
Bedeemer of Israel, and his Holy 
One; 5 to him whom man despis- 
eth, to him whom the nation 
abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, 
Kings shall see and arise, princes 
also shall worship, because of the 
Lord that is faithful, and the Holy 
One of Israel, and he shall choose 
thee. 

8 Thus saith the Lord, g In an 
acceptable time have I heard thee.

helped thee: and I will preserve 
thee, and give thee for a covenant 
of the people, to 6 establish the 
earth, to cause to inherit the deso- 
late heritages; 

9 That thou mayest say A to the 
prisoners, Go forth; to them that 
are in darkness, Show yourselves. 
They shall feed in the ways, and 
their pastures shall be in all high 
places. 

10 They shall not * hunger nor 
thirst; neither { shall the heat nor 
sun smite them: for he that hath 
mercy on them * shall lead them, 
even by the springs of water shall 
he guide them. 

11 And I will make all my moun- 
tains a way, and my highways 
shall be exalted. 

12 Behold, these shall come from 
far; and, lo, these from the north 
and from the west; and these from 
the land of Sinim. 

13 % Sing, heavens; and be

afflicted.

forgotten me. 

15 Can l a woman forget her 
sucking child, 7 that she should 
not have compassion on the son 
of her womb? yea, they may forget, 
yet m will I not forget thee. 

16 Behold, n I have graven thee 
upon the palms of my hands; thy 
walls are continually before me. 

17 Thy children shall make haste; 
thy destroyers and they that made 
thee waste shall go forth of thee. 

18 Lift up thine eyes round about, 
and behold: all these gather them- 
selves together, and come to thee. 
As I live, saith the Lord, thou 
shalt surely clothe thee with them 
all, ° as with an ornament, and 
bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. 

19 For thy waste and thy desolate 
places, and the land of thy destruc- 
tion, v shall even now be too nar- 
row by reason of the inhabitants, 
and they that swallowed thee up 
shall be far away. 

20 The children which thou shalt 
have, after 2 thou hast lost the

is s blasphemed. 

6 Therefore my people shall know 
my name: therefore they shall know 
in that day that I am he that doth 
speak; behold, it is I. 

7 f How 9 beautiful upon the 
mountains are the feet of him that 
bringeth good tidings, that pub- 
lisheth peace; that bringeth good 
tidings of good, that publisheth 
salvation; that saith unto Zion, 
Thy God reigneth! 

8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the 
voice; with the voice together shall 
they sing: for they shall see h eye 
to eye, when the Lord shall bring 
again Zion. 

9 Break forth into joy, sing to- 
gether, ye waste places of Jerusa- 
lem: for the Lord hath comforted 
his people, he hath redeemed Jer- 
usalem. 

10 The Lord hath made bare his 
holy arm in the eyes of all the na- 
tions; and * all the ends of the earth 
shall see the salvation of our God. 

11 1f Depart-? ye, depart ye, go ye 
out from thence, touch no unclean 
thing; go ye out of the midst of 
her; be ye clean, that bear the 
vessels of the Lord. 

12 For k ye shall not go out with 
haste, nor go by flight: l for the 
Lord will go before you, m and the 
God of Israel will l be your rere- 
ward. 

13 1f Behold, n my servant shall 
2 deal prudently, ° he shall be ex- 
alted and extolled, and be very 
high. 

14 As many were astonished at 
thee; his visage p was so marred 
more than any man, and his form 
more than the sons of men:

mouths at him: for that r which

had not been told them shall they

CHAPTER LHL 

I The prophet complains of the want of 

faith. 4 Sufferings of Christ, etc. 

WHO a hath believed our 1 re- 
port? and to whom is 6 the 
arm of the Lord revealed? 

2 For he shall grow up before him 
as a tender plant, and as a root 
out of a dry ground: c he hath no 
form nor .comeliness ; and when 
we shall see him, there is no beauty 
that we should desire him. 

3 He d is despised and rejected of 
men ; a man of sorrows, e and 
acquainted with grief: and 2 we 
hid as it were our faces from him; 
he was despised, and / we esteemed 
him not. 

4 ^j Surely 9 he hath borne our 
griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet 
we h did esteem him stricken, 
smitten of God, and afflicted. 

5 But he was 3 wounded for our 
transgressions, he was bruised for 
our iniquities: the chastisement of 
our peace u-as upon him; and with 
his 4 stripes we are healed. 

6 All we like sheep have gone 
astray; we have turned every one 
to his own way; and the Lord 
hath 5 laid on him the iniquity of 
us all. 

7 He was oppressed, and he was 
afflicted, yet he opened not his 
mouth: » he is brought as a J lamb 
to the slaughter, and as a sheep 
before her shearers is dumb, so he 
openeth not his mouth. 

8 6 He was taken from prison and 
from judgment: and who shall 
declare his generation? for k he 
was cut off out of the land of the 
living: for the transgression of my 
people 7 was he stricken. 

9 And l he made his grave with 
the wicked, and with the rich in 
his 8 death; because he had done 
no violence, neither was any deceit 
in m his mouth. 

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to 
bruise him; he hath put him to 
grief: 9 when thou shalt make his 
soul n an offering for sin, he shall 
see his seed, ° he shall prolong his 
days, and * the pleasure of 
the Lord shall prosper in his 
hand. 

II He shall see of the travail of 
his soul, and shall be satisfied: 
by 5 his knowledge shall r my 
righteous servant " justify many; 
for he shall bear their iniquities.

CHAPTER LIY. 

The church comforted with gracious pro. 
mises. 

O LNG, a barren, thou that didst 
O not bear; break forth into 
singing, and cry aloud, thou that 
didst not travail with child: for 
more are the children of the deso- 
late than the children of the mar- 
ried wife, saith the Lord. 

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, 
and let them stretch forth the 
curtains of thine habitations : 
spare not, lengthen thy cords, and 
strengthen thy stakes: 

3 For thou shalt break forth on 
the right hand and on the left; 
and thy seed shall inherit the 
Gentiles, and make the desolate 
cities to be inhabited. 

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be 
ashamed: neither be thou con- 
founded; for thou shalt not be put 
to shame: for thou shalt forget the 
shame of thy youth, and shalt not 
remember the reproach of thy 
widowhood any more. 

5 For thy Maker is thine hus- 
band; The Lord of hosts is his 
name; and thy Redeemer the Holy 
One of Israel; 6 The God of the 
whole earth shall he be called. 

6 For the Lord hath called thee 
as a woman forsaken, and grieved 
in spirit, and a wife of youth, when 
thou wast refused, saith thy God. 

7 For c a small moment have I 
forsaken thee; but with great mer- 
cies will I gather thee. 

8 In a little wrath I hid my face 
from thee for a moment; d but 
with everlasting kindness will I 
have mercy on thee, saith the 
Lord thy Redeemer. 

9 For this is as the waters e of 
Noah unto me: for as I have sworn 
that the waters of Noah should no 
more go over the earth; so have I 
sworn that I would not be wroth 
with thee, nor rebuke thee. 

10 For / the mountains shall 
depart, and the hills be removed; 
but 9 my kindness shall not depart 
from thee, neither shall the cove- 
nant of my peace be removed,

saith the Lord that hath mercy 
on thee. 

11 \ thou afflicted, tossed with 
tempest, and not comforted! be- 
hold, I will lay thy stones with 
fair colours, and lay thy founda- 
tions with sapphires. 

12 And I will make thy windows 
of agates, and thy gates of car- 
buncles, and all thy borders of 
pleasant stones. 

13 And all thy children shall be 
taught h of the Lord; and great 
shall be « the peace of thy children. 

14 In righteousness shalt thou be 
established: thou shalt be far from 
oppression; for thou shalt not fear: 
and from terror; for it shall not 
come near thee. 

15 Behold, they shall surely gather 
together, but not by me: whosoever 
shall gather together against thee 
shall fall for thy sake. 

16 Behold, I have created the 
smith that bloweth the coals in 
the lire, and that bringeth forth 
an instrument for his work; and 
I have created the waster to de- 
stroy. 

17 No i weapon that is formed 
against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against 
thee in judgment thou shalt con- 
demn. This is the heritage of the 
servants of the Lord, * and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the 
Lord.

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, 
and 2 the unrighteous man * his 
thoughts: and let him return unto 
the Lord, l and he will have 
mei'cy upon him; and to our God,

8 1f For my thoughts are not your

than the earth, so are my ways 
higher than your ways, and my 
thoughts than your thoughts. 

10 For as the rain cometh down, 
and the snow from heaven, and 
returneth not thither, but water- 
eth the earth, and maketh it bring 
forth and bud, that it may give 
seed to the sower, and bread to 
the eater; 

11 So shall my word be that 
goeth forth out of my mouth: it 
shall not return unto me void, 
but it shall accomplish that which 
I please, and it shall prosper in the 
thing whereto I sent it. 

12 For ye shall go out with joy,

ing, and all the trees of the field

judgment, and do justice: 
for a my salvation is near to come, 
and. my righteousness to be re- 
vealed. 

2 Blessed is the man that doeth 
this, and the son of man that lay- 
eth hold on it; that 6 keepeth the 
sabbath from polluting it, and 
keepeth his hand from doing any 

3 1f Neither let e the son of the 
stranger, that hath joined himself 
to the Lord, speak, saying, The 
Lord hath utterly separated me 
from his people: neither let the 
eunuch say, Behold, I am & dry 
tree. 



Promise to believing Gentiles. 



ISAIAH, LYH. 



Idolatry of the Jews reproved. 



4 For thus saith the Lord unto 
the eunuchs that keep my sab- 
baths, and choose the things that 
please me, and take hold of my 
covenant; 

5 Even unto them will I give in 
mine d house and within my walls 
a place e and a name better than 
of sons and of daughters: I will 
give them an everlasting name, 
that shall not be cut off. 

6 Also the sons of the stranger, 
that join themselves to the Lord, 
to serve him, and to love the 
name of the Lord, to be his ser- 
vants, every one that keepeth the 
sabbath from polluting it, and 
taketh hold of my covenant; 

7 Even them will I /bring to my 
holy mountain, and make them 
joyful in my house of prayer: 
their g burnt offerings and their 
sacrifices shall be accepted upon 
mine altar; for h mine house shall 
be called an house of prayer * for 
all people. 

8 The Lord God which gathereth 
the outcasts of Israel saith, i Yet 
will I gather others to him, 2 besides 
those that are gathered unto him. 

9 1f All ye beasts of the field, 
come to devour, yea, all ye beasts 
in the forest. 

10 His watchmen are * blind: 
they are all ignorant, l they are all 
dumb dogs, they cannot bark; 
3 sleeping, lyiDg down, loving to 
slumber. 

11 Yea, iltey are 4 greedy dogs 
which 5 can never have enough, 
and they are shepherds that cannot 
understand: they all look to their 
own way, every one for his gain, 
from his quarter. 

12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch 
wine, and we will fill ourselves 
with strong drink; and to-mor- 
row shall be as this day, and much 
more abundant.

transgression, a seed of falsehood, 

5 Enfiaming yourselves 6 with 
idols under every green tree, slay- 
ing the children in the valleys 
under the clifts of the rocks? 

6 Among the smooth stones of the 
stream is thy portion; they, they 
are thy lot: even to them hast 
thou poured a drink offering, thou 
hast offered a meat ottering. 
Should I receive comfort in these? 

7 Upon a lofty and high moun- 
tain hast thou set 6 thy bed: even 
thither wentest thou up to offer 
sacrifice. 

8 Behind the doors also and the 
posts hast thou set up thy remem- 
brance; for thou hast discovered 
thyself to another than me, and art 
gone up; thou hast enlarged thy 
bed, and 6 made thee a covenant 
with them; thou c lovedst their 
bed 7 where thou sawest it 

9 And 8 thou wentest to the king 
with ointment, and didst increase 
thy perfumes, and didst send thy 
messengers far off, and didst de- 
base thyself even unto hell. 

10 Thou art wearied in the great- 
ness of thy way; yet saidst thou 
not, There is no hope: thou hast 
found the 9 life of thine hand; 
therefore thou wast not grieved. 

11 And of whom hast thou been 
afraid or feared, that thou hast 
lied, and hast not remembered me, 
nor laid it to thy heart? have d not 
I held my peace even of old, and 
thou fearest me not? 

12 I will declare thy righteous- 
ness, and thy works; for they shall 
not profit thee. 

13 When thou criest, let thy 
companies deliver thee: but the 
wind shall cany them all away; 
vanity shall take them; but he 
that putteth his trust in me shall 
possess " the land, and shall inherit 
my holy mountain; 

14 And shall say, Cast ye up, 
cast ye up, prepare the way, take 
up the stumblingblock out of the

the high and holy place, with h him

ble spirit, to revive the spirit of 
the humble, and to revive the 
heart of the contrite ones.

16 For * I will not contend for 
ever, neither will I be always 
wroth: for the spirit should fail 
before me, and the souls * which I 
have made. 

17 For the iniquity of his k covet- 
ousness was I wroth, and smote 
him: 1 hid me, and was wroth, and 
he went on 10 frowardly in the way 
of his heart.

also, and restore comforts unto

21 There is no peace, saith my 
God, to the wicked.

CEY 1 aloud, spare not, lift up

sion, and the house of Jacob their 
sins. 

2 Yet they seek me daily, and 
delight to know my ways, as a 
nation that did righteousness, and 
forsook not the ordinance of their 
God: they ask of me the ordi- 
nances of justice; they take de- 
light in approaching to God. 

3 Wherefore a have we fasted, 
say they, and thou seest not? where- 
fore have we afflicted our soul, and 
thou takest no knowledge? Be- 
hold, in the day of your fast ye 
find pleasure, and exact all your 

2 labours. 

4 Behold, ye fast for strife and 
debate, and to smite with the fist 
of wickedness: 3 ye shall not fast 
as ye do this day, to make your 
voice to be heard on high. 

5 Is it b such a fast that 1 have 
chosen? 4 a day for a man to afflict 
his soul? is it to bow down his 
head as a bulrush, and to spread 
sackcloth and ashes under him? 
wilt thou call this a fast, and an 
acceptable day to the Lord? 

6 Is not this the fast that I have 
chosen? to loose the bands of wick- 
edness, to undo 6 the heavy bur- 
dens, and to let the 6 oppressed go 
free, and that ye break every

thee the yoke, the putting forth of 
the finger, and speaking vanity; 

10 And if thou draw out thy soul 
to the hungry, and satisfy the 
afflicted soul; then shall e thy light 
rise in obscurity, and thy darkness 
be as the noon-day: 

11 And the Lord shall guide thee 
continually, and satisfy thy soul in 

9 drought, and make fat thy bones: 
and thou shalt be like a watered 
garden, and like a spring of water, 
whose waters 10 fail not. 

12 And they that shall be of thee 
shall build the old waste places: 
thou shalt raise up the foundations 
of many generations; and thou 
shalt be called, The repairer of the 
breach, The restorer of paths to 
dwell in. 

13 ^ If / thou turn away thy foot ' 
from the sabbath,/rom doing thy 
pleasure on my holy day; and call 
the sabbath a delight, the holy of 
the Lord, honourable; and shalt 
honour him, not doing thine own 
ways, nor finding thine own 
pleasure, nor speaking g thine own 
words: 

14 Then h shalt thou delight thy- 
self in the Lord; and I will cause 
thee to ride * upon the high places 
of the earth, and feed thee with 
the heritage of Jacob thy father: 
for J the mouth of the Lord hath 
spoken it. 

CHAPTER LIX. 

i The Jews' enormous sins the cause of 
their calamities. 16 Salvation only of 
God. 20 Covenant of the Redeemer. 

BEHOLD, the Lord's hand is 
not a shortened, that it cannot 
save; neither his ear heavy, that 
it cannot hear: 
2 But your iniquities have sepa- 
rated between you and your God, 
and your sins x have hid his face 
from you, that he will not hear. 



The consequences of sin. 



ISAIAH, LX. Accession of the Gentiles to the church. 



3 For your b hands are defiled 
with blood, and your fingers with 
iniquity; your lips have spoken 
lies, your tongue hath muttered 
perverseness. 

4 None calleth for justice, nor any 
pleadeth for truth: they trust in 
vanity, and speak lies; c they con- 
ceive mischief, and bring forth 
iniquity. 

5 They hatch 2 cockatrice' eggs, 
and d weave the spider's web: he 
that eateth of their eggs dieth, and 
3 that which is crushed breaketh 
out into a viper. 

6 Their webs shall not become 
garments, neither shall they cover 
themselves with their works: their 
works are works of iniquity, and 
the act of violence is in their 
hands. 

7 Their 6 feet run to evil, and 
they make haste to shed innocent 
blood: their thoughts are thoughts 
of iniquity; wasting and i destruc- 
tion are in then paths. 

8 The way of peace they know 
not; and there is no 6 judgment in 
their goings: they •''have made 
them crooked paths: whosoever 
goeth therein shall not know 
peace. 

-9 % Therefore is judgment far 
from us, neither doth justice over- 
take us: 9 we wait for light, but 
behold obscurity; for brightness, 
but we walk in darkness. 

10 We h grope for the wall like 
the blind, and we grope as if we 
had no eyes: we stumble at noon- 
day as in the night; we are in deso- 
late places as dead men. 

11 We roar all like bears, and 
mourn sore like doves: we look for 
judgment, but there is none; for 
salvation, but it is far off from 
us. 

12 For our transgressions are 
multiplied before thee, and our 
sins testify against us: for our 
transgressions are with us; and as 
for our iniquities, we know them; 

13 In transgressing and lying 
against the Lord, and departing 
away from our God, speaking 
oppression and revolt, conceiving 
and uttering *from the heart 
words of falsehood. 

14 And judgment is turned away 
backward, and justice standeth 
afar off: for truth is fallen in 3 the 
street, and equity cannot enter. 

15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that 
departeth from evil 6 maketh him- 
self a prey: and the Lord saw it,

and 7 it displeased him that there 
was no judgment. 

16 ^ And k he saw that there was 
no man, and l wondered that there 
was no intercessor: therefore his 
arm brought salvation unto him; 
and his righteousness, it sustained 
him. 

17 For m he put on righteousness

my words which I have put in 
thy mouth, shall not depart out of 
thy mouth, nor out of the mouth 
of thy seed, nor out of the mouth 
of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, 
from henceforth and for ever.

bring e gold and incense; and they 
shall show forth the praises of the

7 All the flocks of/ Kedar shall be

11 Therefore thy gates shall be

12 For °the nation and kingdom

13 The p glory of Lebanon shall

hath anointed me to preach good 
tidings unto the meek; he hath 
sent me 6 to bind up the broken- 
hearted, to proclaim c liberty to 
the captives, and the opening of 
the prison to them that are bound; 

2 To d proclaim the acceptable 
year of the Lord, and e the day of 
vengeance of our God; to f com- 
fort all that mourn; 

3 To appoint unto them that 
mourn in Zion, 9 to give unto them, 
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for 
mourning, the garment of praise 
for the spirit of heaviness; that 
they might be called Trees of 
righteousness, The A planting of 
the Lord, * that he might be 
glorified.

6 But ' ye shall he named the 
Priests of the Lord: men shall call 
you the Ministers of our God: ye 
shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, 
and in their glory shall ye boast 
yourselves. 

7 For m your shame ye shall have 
double, and for confusion they 
shall rejoice in their portion : 
therefore in their land they shall 
possess the double; everlasting joy 
shall be unto them. 

8 For I the Lord love judgment, 
I hate robbery for burnt offering; 
and I will direct their work in 
truth, n and I will make an ever- 
lasting covenant with them. 

9 And their seed shall be known 
among the Gentiles, and their off- 
spring among the people: all that 
see them shall acknowledge them, 
that they are the seed which the 
Lokd hath blessed. 

10 I will greatly rejoice in the 
Lord, my soul shall be joyful in 
my God; for he hath clothed me 
with the garments of salvation, 
he hath covered me with the robe 
of righteousness, as ° a bridegroom 
1 decketh himself with ornaments, 
and as a bride adometh herself 
with her jewels. 

11 For as the earth bringeth forth 
her bud, and as the garden causeth

spring forth; so the Lord God will 
cause p righteousness and 8 praise 
to spring forth before all the na-

4 For the day of vengeance is in 
mine heart, and the year of my 
redeemed is come. 

5 And I looked, and c there was 
none to help; and I wondered that 
there was none to uphold: therefore 
mine own d arm Drought salvation 
unto me; and my fury, it upheld 
me. 

6 And I will tread down the 
people in mine anger, and e make 
them drunk in my fury, and I 
will bring down their strength to 
the earth. 

7 f I will mention the loving- 
kindnesses of the Lord, and the 
praises of the Lord, according to 
all that the Lord hath bestowed 
on us, and the great goodness to- 
ward the house of Israel, which he 
hath bestowed on them according 
to his mercies, and according to 
the multitude of his loving-kind- 



8 For he said, Surely they are my 
people, children that will not he: 
* so he was their Saviour. 

9 In / all then affliction he was 
afflicted, and 9 the angel of his 
presence saved them: in h his love 
and in his pity he redeemed them; 
and * he bare them, and carried 
them all the days of old. 

10 But they rebelled, and-?' vexed 
his Holy Spirit: therefore he was 
turned to be their enemy, and he 
fought against them. 

11 ^| Then he remembered the 
days of old, Moses, and his people, 
saying, Where is he that brought 
them up out of the sea with the 
3 shepherd of his flock? where is 
he that put his Holy Spirit within 
him? 

12 That led them by the right 
hand of Moses with his glorious 
arm, dividing the water before 
them, to make himself an ever- 
lasting name? 

13 That led them through the 
deep, as an horse in the wilder- 
ness, that they should not stumble? 

14 As a beast goeth down into 
the valley, the Spirit of the Lord 
caused him to rest: so didst thou 
lead thy people, to make thyself a 
glorious name. 

15 % Look down from heaven, and

thine adversaries, that the nations 
may tremble at thy presence! 

3 When thou didst terrible things 
which we looked not for, thou 
earnest down, the mountains flow- 
ed down at thy presence. 

4 For since the beginning of the 
world men a have not heard, nor 
perceived by the ear, neither hath 
the eye 2 seen, O God, besides thee, 
what he hath prepared for him that 
waiteth for him. 

5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth 
and b worketh righteousness; those 
that remember thee in thy ways: 
behold, thou art wroth; for we have 
sinned: in c those is continuance, 
and we shall be saved. 

6 But we are all as an unclean 
thing, and all d our righteousnesses 
are as filthy rags; and we all do 
fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, 
like the wind, have taken us away. 

7 And " there is none that calleth 
upon thy name, that stirreth up 
himself to take hold of thee: for 
thou hast hid thy face from us, and 
hast 3 consumed us, 4 because of 
our iniquities. 

8 But now, O Lord, thou art our 
Father, we are the clay, / and thou 
our potter; and we all are 9 the 
work of thy hand. 

9 Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, 
neither remember iniquity for 
ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, 
we are all thy people.

ISAIAH, LXY. 



Of the new Jerusalem. 



10 Thy holy cities are a wilder- 
ness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusa- 
lem a desolation. 

11 Our fl holy and our beautiful 
house, where our fathers praised 
thee, is hurnt up with fire: and all 
our * pleasant things are laid waste. 

12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for 
these things, Lord? wilt thou 
hold thy peace, and afflict us very 
sore? 

CHAPTER LXV. 

1 The Gentiles called. 2 The Jews rejected. 

17 Blessed state of the new Jerusalem. 

1° AM sought of them that asked 
not for me; I am found of them 
that sought me not: I said, Behold 
me, behold me, unto a nation that 
was 6 not called by my name. 

2 I c have spread out my hands 
all the day unto a rebellious people, 
which d walketh in a way that was 
not good, after their own thoughts; 

3 A people that provoketh me to 
anger continually to my face; 6 that 
sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth 
incense * upon altars of brick; 

4 Which / remain among the 
graves, and lodge in the monu- 
ments; 9 which eat swine's flesh, 
and 2 broth of abominable things is 
in their vessels: 

5 Which h say, Stand by thyself, 
come not near to me; lor 1 am 
holier than thou. These are a 
smoke in my 3 nose, a lire that 
burneth all the day. 

6 Behold, * it is written before me; 
I will not keep silence, but will 
recompense, even recompense into 
their bosom, 

7 Your iniquities, and i the ini- 
quities of your fathers together, 
saith the Lord, which have burnt 
incense upon the mountains, and 
blasphemed me upon the hills: 
therefore will I measure their 
former work into their bosom. 

8 1f Thus saith the Lord, As the 
new wine is found in the cluster, 
and one saith, Destroy it not; * for 
a blessing is in it: so will I do for 
my servants' sakes, that I may 
not destroy them all. 

9 And I will bring forth a seed 
out of Jacob, and out of Judah an 
inheritor of my mountains: and 
mine l elect shall inherit it, and 
my servants shall dwell there. 

10 And Sharon shall be a fold of 
flocks, and the m valley of Achor 
a place for the herds to lie down 
in, for my people that have sought 
me.

the Lord, that forget my holy 
mountain, that prepare n a table 
for 4 that troop, and that furnish 
the drink offering unto s that 
number. 

12 Therefore will I number you 
to the sword, and ye shall all bow 
down to the slaughter: * because 
when I called, ye did not answer; 
when I spake, ye did not hear; 
but did evil before mine eyes, and 
did choose that wherein I delighted 
not 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God, Behold, my servants shall eat, 
but ye shall be hungry: behold, 
my servants shall drink, but ye 
shall be thirsty: behold, my ser- 
vants shall rejoice, but ye shall be 
ashamed: 

14 Behold, my servants shall sing 
for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for 
sorrow of heart, and shall howl for 
6 vexation of spirit. 

15 And ye shall leave your name 
for p a curse unto my chosen: for 
the Lord God shall slay thee, and 
call 3 his servants by another 
name: 

16 That he who blesseth himself 
in the earth shall bless himself 
in the God of truth; and he that 
sweareth in the earth shall swear 
by the God of truth; because the 
former troubles are forgotten, and 
because they are hid from mine 
eyes. 

17 If For, behold, 1 create r new 
heavens, and a new earth: and 
the former shall not be remem- 
bered, nor 7 come into mind. 

18 But be ye glad and rejoice for 
ever in that which I create: for, 
behold, I create Jerusalem a re- 
joicing, and her people a joy. 

19 And I will rejoice in Jerusa- 
lem, and joy in my people: and 
the s voice of weeping shall be no 
more heard in her, nor the voice 
of crying. 

20 There shall be no more thence 
an infant of days, nor an old man 
that hath not filled his days: for 
the child shall die an hundred 
years old; « but the sinner, being 
an hundred years old, shall be 
accursed. 

21 And u they shall build houses, 
and inhabit them; and they shall 
plant vineyards, and eat the fruit 
of them. 

22 They shall not build, and an- 
other inhabit; they shall not 
plant, and another eat: for as the 
days of a tree are the days of my

people, and mine elect 8 shall long 
enjoy the work of their hands. 

23 They shall not labour in vain, 
nor • bring forth for trouble: for 
they are the seed of the blessed of 
the Lord,, and their offepring with 
them. 

24 And it shall come to pass, that 
before w they call, I will answer; 
and while they are yet speaking, 
I will hear. 

25 The wolf and the lamb shall 
feed together, and the lion shall eat 
straw like the bullock: * and dust 
shall be the serpent's meat. They 
shall not hurt nor destroy in all my 
holy y mountain, saith the Lord. 

CHAPTER LXVL 

1 God will be served in humble sincerity. 5 
The faithful comforted. 15 God's severe 
judgments against the wicked. 

rpHUS saith the Lord, a The 
JL heaven is my throne, and the 
earth is my footstool: where is the 
house that ye build unto me? and 
where is the place of my rest? 

2 For all those things hath mine 
hand made, and all those things 
have been, saith the Lord: but to 
this man will I look, even b to him 
that is poor, and of a contrite spirit, 
and c trembleth at my word. 

3 He that killeth an ox is as if he 
slew a man; he that sacrificeth a 

1 lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; 
he that offereth an oblation, as if 
he offered swine's blood; he that 

2 burneth incense, as if he blessed 
an idol. Yea, they have chosen 
their own ways, and their soul de- 
lighteth in their abominations. 

4 I also will choose their 3 delu- 
sions, and will bring their fears 
upon them; d because when I 
called, none did answer; when I 
spake, they did not hear: but they 
did evil before mine eyes, and 
chose that in which I delighted not. 

5 t( Hear the word of the Lord, 
ye that tremble at his word; Your 
brethren that * hated you, that 
cast you out for / my name's sake, 
said, g Let the Lord be glorified: 
but A he shall appear to your joy, 
and they shall be ashamed. 

6 A voice of noise- from the city, 
a voice from the temple, a voice 
of the Lord that rendereth recom- 
pence to his enemies.

forth; before her pain came, she

in one day? or shall a nation be 
born at once? for as soon as Zion 
travailed, she brought forth her 
children. 

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and 
not 4 cause to bring forth? saith the 
Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, 
and shut the womb? saith thy God. 

10 Eejoice ye with Jerusalem, 
and be glad with her, all ye that 
love her: rejoice for joy with her, 
all ye that mourn for her; 

11 That ye may suck, and be 
satisfied with the breasts of her 
consolations; that ye may milk 
out, and be delighted with the 
5 abundance of her glory. 

12 For thus saith the Lord, Be- 
hold, * I will extend peace to her 
like a river; and the glory of the 
Gentiles like a flowing stream: 
then shall ye i suck, ye shall be 
borne k upon her sides, and be 
dandled upon her knees. 

13 As one whom his mother com- 
forteth, so will I comfort you; and 
ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 

14 And when ye see this, your 
heart shall rejoice, and l your bones 
shall flourish like an herb; and the 
hand of the Lord shall be known 
toward his servants, and his indig- 
nation toward his enemies. 

15 For, m behold, the Lord will 
come with fire, and with his char- 
iots like a whirlwind, to render his 
anger with fury, and his rebuke 
with flames of fire. 

16 For by fire, and by n his sword, 
will the Lord plead with all flesh: 
and the slain of the Lord shall be 
many. 

17 They ° that sanctify them- 
selves, and purify themselves in 
the gardens 6 behind one tree in 
the midst, eating swine's flesh, and 
the abomination, and the mouse, 
shall be consumed together, saith 
the Lord. 

18 For I p know their works and 
their thoughts: it shall come, that 
I will gather all nations and 
tongues; and they shall come, and 
see my glory. 

19 And 2 I will set a sign among 
them, and I will send those that 
escape of them unto the nations, 
to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that 
draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, 
to the isles afar off, that have not 
heard my fame, neither have seen 
my glory; r and they shall declare 
my glory among the Gentiles.

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET 

JEREMIAH. 



CHAPTER I. 

1 ITie calling of Jeremiah: 11 his visions 
denoting God's speedy judgments. 17 
God promises him his assistance. 

THE words of Jeremiah the son 
of Hilkiah, of the priests that 
were a in Anathoth in the land of 
Benjamin: 

2 To whom the h word of the 
Lord came in the days of Josiah 
the son of Amon king of Judah, 
in c the thirteenth year of his reign. 

3 It came also in the days of 
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king 
of Judah, d unto the end of the 
eleventh year of Zedekiah the son 
of Josiah king of Judah, e unto the 
canying away of Jerusalem cap- 
tive / in the fifth month. 

4 U Then the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

5 Before I formed thee in the 
belly I knew thee ; and before 
thou earnest forth out of the womb 
1 9 sanctified thee, and I x ordained 
thee a prophet unto the nations. 

6 Then said I, h Ah, Lord God! 
behold, I cannot speak; for I am a 
child. 

7 But the Lord said unto me, 
Say not, I am a child: for * thou 
shalt go to all that I shall send 
thee, and i whatsoever I command 
thee thou shalt speak. 

8 Be not afraid of their faces: for 
I * am with thee to deliver thee, 
saith the Lord. 

9 Then the Lord put forth his 
hand, and touched { my mouth. 
And the Lord said unto me, Be- 
hold, I have m put my words in 
thy mouth. 

10 See, n I have this day set thee 
over the nations, and over the

11 H Moreover the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, Jere- 
miah, what 6eest thou? And I 
said, I see a rod of an almond tree. 

12 Then said the Lord unto me, 
Thou hast well seen: for I will 
hasten p my word to perform it. 

13 And the word of the Lord 
came unto me the second time, 
saying, What seest thou? And I 
said, 1 6ee a seething pot; and the 
face thereof is 2 toward the north. 

14 Then the Lord said unto me, 
Out of the north an evil 3 shall 
break forth upon all the inhabit- 
ants of the land. 

15 For, lo, I will call all the fami- 
nes of the kingdoms of the north, 
saith the Lord; and they shall 
come, and they shall q set every 
one his throne at the entering of 
the gates of Jerusalem, and against 
all the walls thereof round about, 
and against all the cities of Judah. 

16 And I will r utter my judg- 
ments against them touching all 
their wickedness, * who have for- 
saken me, and have burnt incense 
unto other gods, and worshipped 
the works of their own hands. 

17 *tf Thou therefore * gird up thy 
loins, and arise, and speak unto 
them all that I command u thee: 
be not dismayed at their faces, lest 
I 4 confound thee before them.

princes thereof, against the priests

CHAPTER n. 

I God's expostulation with the Jews. 35 
The vain confidences of Judah rejected. 

MOREOVER the word of the 
Lord came to me, saying, 

2 Go and cry in the ears of Jeru- 
salem, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord, I remember x thee, the 
kindness of thy a youth, the love 
of thine espousals, when thou 
wentest after me in the wilder- 
ness, in a land that was not sown. 

3 Israel was holiness unto the 
Lord, and the 5 first-fruits of his 
increase: all that devour him shall 
offend; evil shall come upon them, 
saith the Lord. 

4 1[ Hear ye the word of the Lord, 

house of Jacob, and all the 
families of the house of Israel: 

m 5 Thus saith the Lord, c What 
iniquity have your fathers found 
in me, that they are gone far from 
me, and have walked after vanity, 
and d are become vain? 

6 Neither said they, Where is the 
Lord that brought us up out of 
the land of Egypt, that led us 
through the wilderness, through a 
land of deserts and of pits, through 
a land of drought, and of the 
shadow of death, through a land 
that no man passed through, and 
where no man dwelt? 

7 And I brought you into 2 a 
plentiful country, to eat the fruit 
thereof and the goodness thereof; 
but when ye entered, ye defiled 
my land, and made mine heritage 
an abomination. 

8 The priests said not, Where is 
the Lord? and they that handle 
the e law knew me not: the pastors 
also transgressed against me, and 
the prophets prophesied by Baal, 
and walked after things that do not 
profit. 

9 f Wherefore / I will yet plead 
with you, saith the Lord, and 
with your children's children will 

1 plead. 

10 For pass 3 over the isles of 
Chittim, and see; and send unto 
Kedar, and consider diligently, 
and see if there be such a thing: 

II Hath 9 a nation changed their 
gods, which are yet no gods? h but 
my people have changed their 
glory for that which doth not profit.

18 And now what hast thou to 
do $ in the way of Egypt, to drink 
the waters of n Sihor? or what 
hast thou to do in the way of 
Assyria, to drink the waters of the 
river? 

19 Thine own * wickedness shall 
correct thee, and thy backslidings 
shall reprove thee: know therefore 
and see that it is an evil thing and 
bitter, that thou hast forsaken the 
Lord thy God, and that my fear 
is not in thee, saith the Lord God 
of hosts. 

20 For of old time I have broken 
thy yoke, and burst thy bands; 
and m thou saidst, I will not 

7 transgress; when upon every high 
hill and under every green tree 
thou wanderest, playing the har- 
lot. 

21 Yet I had n planted thee a 
noble vine, wholly a right seed: 
how then art thou turned into the 
degenerate plant of a strange vine 
unto me? 

22 For though thou wash thee 
with nitre, and take thee much 
soap, yet ° thine iniquity is marked 
before me, saith the Lord God. 

23 How v canst thou say, I am 
not polluted, I have not gone after 
Baalim? See thy way 2 in the 
valley, know what thou hast done: 

8 thou art a swift dromedary tra- 
versing her ways; 

24 9 A wild ass 10 used to the 
wilderness, that snuffeth up the 
wind at n her pleasure; in her 
occasion who can n turn her away? 
all they that seek her will not 
weary themselves; in her month 
they shall find her. 



Judah's vain confidences rejected. JEREMIAH, III. 



Her great idolatry. 



25 Withhold thy foot from being 
unshod, and thy throat from thirst: 
but thou saidst, 13 There is no hope: 
no; for I have loved strangers, and 
after them will I go. 

26 As the thief is ashamed when 
he is found, so is the house of 
Israel ashamed; they, their kings, 
their princes, and their priests, 
and their prophets, 

27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my 
father; and to a stone, Thou hast 
14 brought me forth: for they have 
turned 16 their back unto me, and 
not their face: but in the time of 
their r trouble they will say, Arise, 
and save us. 

28 But s where are thy gods that 
thou hast made thee? let them 
arise, if they { can save thee in the 
time of thy 16 trouble: for according 
to the number of thy cities are thy 
gods, Judah. 

29 Wherefore will ye plead with 
me ? ye all have transgressed 
against me, saith the Lord. 

30 In vain have I smitten your 
children; they received no cor- 
rection: your own sword hath 
devoured M your prophets, like a 
destroying lion. 

31 U generation, see ye the word 
of the Lord. Have I been a wil- 
derness unto Israel ? a land of 
darkness ? Wherefore say my 
people, 17 We are lords; we will 
come no more unto thee? 

32 Can a maid forget her orna- 
ments, or a bride her attire? yet 
my people " have forgotten me 
days without number. 

33 Why trimmest thou thy way 
to seek love? therefore hast thou 
also taught the wicked ones thy 
ways. 

34= Also in thy skirts is found 
the w blood of the souls of the 
poor innocents: I have not found 
it by 18 secret search, but upon all 
these. 

35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am 
innocent, surely his anger shall 
turn from me: behold, I will plead 
with thee, * because thou sayest, I 
have not sinned. 

36 Why v gaddest thou about so 
much to change thy way? * thou 
also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, 
as * thou wast ashamed of Assy- 
ria. 

37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from 
him, and thine h hands upon thine 
head: for the Lord hath rejected 
thy confidences, and thou shalt 
not prosper in them.

CHAPTER III. 

1 God's great mercy in Judah's vile whore, 
dom. 12 Promises of the gospel to the 
penitent. 

THEY ? say, If a man put away 
his wife, and she go from him, 
and become another man's, a shall 
he return unto her again? shall 
not that land be greatly polluted? 
but thou hast 6 played the harlot 
with many lovers; c yet return 
again to me, saith the Lord. 

2 Lift up thine eyes unto d the 
high places, and see where thou 
hast not been hen with: in 6 the 
ways hast thou sat for them, as 
the Arabian in the wilderness; and 
thou hast polluted the land with 
thy whoredoms and with thy 
wickedness. 

3 Therefore 1 the showers have 
been withholden, and there hath 
been no latter rain; and thou 
hadst 9 a whore's forehead, thou 
refusedst to be ashamed. 

4 Wilt thou not from this time 
cry unto me, My father, thou art 
the A guide of * my youth? 

5 Will he reserve his anger for 
ever? will he keep it to the end? 
Behold, thou hast spoken and 
done evil things as thou couldest. 

6 \ The Lord said also unto me 
in the days of Josiah the king, 
Hast thou seen that which back- 
sliding Israel hath done? she is 
gone up upon every high moun- 
tain and under every green tree, 
and there hath played the harlot. 

7 And i I said after she had done 
all these things, Turn thou unto 
me: but she returned not. And 
her treacherous sister Judah saw 
it. 

8 And I saw, when for all the 
causes whereby backsliding Israel 
committed adultery I had put her 
away, and given her a bill of 
divorce; k yet her treacherous sis- 
ter Judah feared not, but went 
and played the harlot also. 

9 And it came to pass through 
the 2 lightness of her whoredom, 
that she defiled the land, and 
committed adultery with stones 
and with stocks. 

10 And yet for all this her treach- 
erous sister Judah hath not turned 
unto me with l her whole heart, 
but 3 feignedly, saith the Lord. 

11 If And the Lord said unto me, 
The backsliding Israel hath justi- 
fied herself more than treacherous 
Judah.

toward the north, and say, Return, 
thou m backsliding Israel, saith the 
Lord; and I will not cause mine 
anger to fall upon you: for I am 
merciful, saith the Lord, and I will 
not keep anger for ever. 

13 Only n acknowledge thine 
iniquity, that thou hast trans- 
gressed against the Lord thy God, 
and hast scattered thy ways to the 
strangers under every green tree, 
and ye have not obeyed my voice, 
saith the Lord. 

14 Turn, backsliding children, 
saith the Lord; for I am married 
unto you: and I will take you 
one ° of a city, and two of a family, 
and I will bring you to Zion: 

15 And I will give you p pastors 
according to mine heart, which 
shall 2 feed you with knowledge 
and understanding. 

16 And it shall come to pass, 
when ye be multiplied and in- 
creased in the land, in those days, 
saith the Lord, they r shall say no 
more, The ark of the covenant of 
the Lord; neither shall it 4 come to 
mind, neither shall they remem- 
ber it, neither shall they visit it, 
neither shall 6 that be done any 
more. 

17 At that time they shall call 
Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; 
and all the nations shall be gath- 
ered unto it, to the name of the 
Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall 
they walk any more after the 
6 imagination of their evil heart. 

18 In those days * the house of 
Judah shall walk 7 with the house 
of Israel, and they shall come to- 
gether out of the land of the north 
to ' the land that I have 8 given 
for an inheritance unto your 
fathers. 

19 But I said, How shall I put 
thee among the children, and give 
thee a 9 pleasant land, 10 a goodly 
heritage of the hosts of nations? 
and I said, Thou shalt call me, 
My M father; and shalt not turn 
away $ from me. 

20 Surely as a wife treacherously 
departeth from her 12 husband, so 
have ye dealt treacherously with 
me, house of Israel, saith the 
Lord. 

21 % A voice was heard " upon 
the high places, weeping and sup- 
plications of the children of Israel: 
for they have perverted their way, 
and they have forgotten the Lord 
their God.

from our youth even unto this day, 
and have not obeyed the voice of 
the Lord our God. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 God calls Israel by his promises: 3 he 
exhorts Judah to repentance. 19 Lam- 
entation for Judah. 

IF thou wilt return, O Israel, 
saith the Lord, "return unto 
me; and if thou wilt put away 
thine abominations out of my 
sight, then shalt thou not remove. 

2 And 6 thou shalt swear, The 
Lord liveth, in c truth, in judg- 
ment, and in righteousness; d and 
the nations shall bless themselves 
in him, and in him * shall they 
glory. 

3 U For thus saith the Lord to 
the men of Judah and Jerusalem, 
Break / up your fallow ground, 
and 9 sow not among thorns. 

4 Circumcise h yourselves to the 
Lord, and take away the foreskins 
of your heart, ye men of Judah 
and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest 
my * fury come forth like fire, and 
burn that none can quench it, 
because of the evil of your doings. 

5 Declare ye in Judah, and pub- 
lish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow 
ye the trumpet in the land: cry, 
gather together, and say, Assemble 
yourselves, and let us go into the 
defenced cities. 

6 Set up the standard toward 
Zion: l retire, stay not; for I will 
bring evil from the north, J and a 
great 2 destruction. 

7 The k lion is come up from his 
thicket, and the destroyer of the 
Gentiles is on his way; he is gone 
forth from his place to make thy 
land desolate; and thy cities shall 
be laid waste, without an inhab- 
itant 

8 For this l gird you with sack- 
cloth, lament and howl: for the

tierce anger of the Lord is not 
turned back from us. 

9 And it shall come to pass at 
that day, saith the Lord, that the 
heart of the king shall perish, and 
the heart of the princes; and the 
priests shall he astonished, and 
the prophets shall wonder. 

10 Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! 
surely m thou hast greatly deceived 
this people and Jerusalem, saying, 
Ye shall have peace; whereas the 
sword reacheth unto the soul. 

11 At that time shall it be said 
to this people and to Jerusalem, 
A " dry wind of the high places in 
the wilderness toward the daugh- 
ter of my people, not to fan, nor 
to cleanse, 

12 Even 3 a full wind from those 
places shall come unto me: now also 
will I * give sentence against them. 

13 Behold, he shall come up as 
clouds, and ° his chariots shall be 
as a whirlwind : his p horses are 
swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! 
for we are spoiled. 

14 Jerusalem, q wash thine 
heart from wickedness, that thou 
mayest be saved: how long shall 
thy vain thoughts lodge within 
thee? 

15 For a voice declareth r from 
Dan, and publisheth affliction 
from mount Ephraim. 

16 Make ye mention to the na- 
tions; behold, publish against Jer- 
usalem, that watchers come * from 
a far countiy, and give out their 
voice against the cities of Judah. 

17 As ' keepers of a field, are they 
against her round about; because 
she hath been rebellious against 
me, saith the Lord. 

18 Thy M way and thy doings 
have procured these things unto 
thee: this is thy wickedness, be- 
cause it is bitter, because it reach- 
eth unto thine heart 

19 H My v bowels, my bowels ! I 
am pained at 6 my very heart; my 
heart maketh a noise in me; I 
cannot hold my peace, because 
thou hast heard, my soul, the 
sound of the trumpet, the alarm 
of war. 

20 Destruction " upon destruction 
is cried; for the whole land is 
spoiled: suddenly are my z tents 
spoiled, and my curtains in a 
moment.

have not known me; they are sot-

understanding: * they are wise to 
do evil, but to do good they have 
no knowledge. 

23 I a beheld the earth, and, lo, 
it was without 6 form and void, 
and the heavens, and they had no 
light. 

24 I c beheld the mountains, and, 
lo, they trembled, and all the hills 
moved lightly. 

2o I beheld, and, lo, there was no 
man, and d all the birds of the 
heavens were fled. 

26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful 
place was a wilderness, and all the 
cities thereof were broken down 
at the presence of the Lord, and 
by his fierce anger. 

27 For thus hath the Lord said, 
The whole land shall be desolate; 
yet ' will I not make a full end. 

28 For /this shall the earth 
mourn, and ° the heavens above 
be black: because I have spoken 
it, I have purposed it, and will 
not h repent, neither will I turn 
back from it. 

29 The » whole city shall flee for 
the noise of the horsemen and 
bowmen ; they shall go into 
thickets, and climb up upon the 
rocks: every city shall be forsaken, 
and not a man dwell therein. 

30 And when thou art spoiled, 
what wilt thou do? Though thou 
clothest thyself with crimson, 
though thou deckest thee with 
ornaments of gold, * though thou 
rentest thy 6 face with painting, in 
vain shalt thou make thyself lair; 
thy k lovers will despise thee, they 
will seek thy life. 

31 For I have heard a voice as of 
a woman in travail, and the an- 
guish as of her that Joringeth forth 
her first child, the voice of the 
daughter of Zion, that bewaileth 
herself, that l spreadeth her hands, 
saying, Woe is me now! for my 
soul is wearied because of mur- 
derers. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Judgments of God upon the Jews for 
their depravity, 7 adultery, 20 and in- 
justice. 

T) UN ye to and fro through the 
XX streets of Jerusalem, and see 
now, and know, and seek in the 
broad places thereof, a if ye can 
find a man, 6 if there be any that 
execute th judgment, that seeketh 
the truth; and I will pardon it. 
2 And c though they say, The 



Judgments on Jerusalem 



JEKEMIAH, V. 



for manifold sins. 



Lord liveth; surely they swear 
falsely. 

3 O Lord, are not d thine eyes 
upon the truth? thou hast 6 stricken 
them, but they have not grieved; 
thou hast consumed them, fbut 
they have refused to receive cor- 
rection: they have made their 
faces harder than a rock; they have 
refused to return. 

4 Therefore I said, Surely these 
are poor; they are foolish: for 9 they 
know not the way of the Lord, 
nor the judgment of their God. 

5 I will get me unto the great 
men, and will speak unto them; 
for h they have known the way of 
the Lord, and the judgment of 
their God : but these have alto- 
gether broken* the yoke, and burst 
the bonds. 

6 Wherefore i a lion out of the 
forest shall slay them, h and a wolf 
of the l evenings shall spoil them, 
a l leopard shall watch over their 
cities: every one that goeth out 
thence shall be torn in pieces: 
because their transgressions are 
many, awe? their backskdings 2 are 
increased. 

7 How shall I pardon thee for 
this? thy children have forsaken 
me, and m sworn by them that n are 
no gods: ° when I had fed them to 
the full, they then committed 
adultery, and assembled them- 
selves by troops in the harlots' 
houses. 

8 They p were as fed horses in the 
morning: every one q neighed after 
his neighbour's wife. 

9 Shall I not visit for these things? 
saith the Lord: r and shall not my 
soul be avenged on such a nation 
as this? 

10 ^[ Go • ye up upon her walls, 
and destroy; but make not a full 
end: take away her battlements; 
for they are not the Lord's. 

11 For * the house of Israel and 
the house of Judah have dealt 
very treacherously against me, 
saith the Lord. 

12 They M have belied the Lord, 
and said, v It is not he; neither 
shall evil come upon us; w neither 
shall we see sword nor famine: 

13 And the prophets shall become 
wind, and the word is not in 
them: thus shall it be done unto 
them. 

14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord 
God of hosts, Because ye speak 
this word, * behold, I will make 
my words in thy mouth fire, and

15 Lo, I will bring a y nation upon 
you from z far, O house of Israel, 
saith the Lord: it is a mighty 
nation, it is an ancient nation, a 
nation whose language thou know- 
est not, neither understandest 
what they say. 

16 Their quiver is as an open 
sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 

17 And they shall eat up a thine 
harvest, and thy bread, which thy 
sons and thy daughters should eat; 
they shall eat up thy flocks and 
thine herds; they shall eat up 
thy vines and thy fig trees; they 
shall impoverish thy fenced cities, 
wherein thou trustedst, with; the 
sword. 

18 Nevertheless in those days, 
saith the Lord, I will not make a 
full end with you. 

19 And it shall come to pass, 
when ye shall say, b Wherefore 
doeth the Lord our God all these 
things unto us ? then shalt thou 
answer them, Like as ye have for- 
saken me, and served strange gods 
in your land, so c shall ye serve 
strangers in a land that is not 
yours. 

20 V Declare this in the house of 
Jacob, and publish it in Judah, 
saying, 

21 Hear now this, O d foolish 
people, and without 3 understand- 
ing; which have eyes, and see not; 
which have ears, and hear not: 

22 Fear e ye not me? saith the 
Lord: will ye not tremble at my 
presence, which have placed the 
sand for the / bound of the sea by 
a perpetual decree, that it cannot 
pass it; and though the waves 
thereof toss themselves, yet can 
they not prevail; though they 
roar, yet can they not pass over it? 

23 But this people hath a revolt- 
ing and a rebellious heart; they 
are revolted and gone. 

24 Neither say they in their heart, 
Let us now fear the Lord our God, 
that ^giveth rain, both the h former 
and the latter, in his season: * he 
reserveth unto us the appointed 
weeks of the harvest. 

25 ^ Your iniquities have turned 
away these things, and your sins 
have withholden good things from 
you. 

26 For among my people are 
found wicked men: 4 they lay wait, 
as he that setteth snares; they set 
a trap, they catch men.

CHAPTER VL 

1 The enemies sent against Judah encour- 
age themselves: 6 God directs the siege. 
18 The prophet proclaims God's judg- 
ments. 

OYE children of 8 Benjamin, 
gather yourselves to flee out 
of the midst of Jerusalem, and 
blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and 
set up a sign of fire in b Beth- 
haccerem: for evil appeareth out 
of the north, and great destruc- 
tion. 

2 I have likened the daughter of 
Zion to a 1 comely and delicate 
woman. 

3 The shepherds with their flocks 
shall come unto her; c they shall 
pitch their tents against her round 
about; they shall feed every one in 
his place. 

4 Prepare ye war against her; 
arise, and let us go up at noon. 
"Woe unto us! for the day goeth 
away, for the shadows of the even- 
ing are stretched out. 

5 Arise, and let us go by night, 
and let us destroy her palaces. 

6 1 For thus hath the Loed of 
hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and 

2 cast a mount against Jerusalem: 
this is the city to~be visited; she is 
wholly d oppression in the midst 
of her. 

7 As a fountain casteth out her 
waters, so she casteth out her 
wickedness: violence and e spoil is 
heard in her; before me continu- 
ally is grief and wounds. 

8 Be thou instructed, Jerusa- 
lem, / lest my soul 3 depart from 
thee; lest I make thee desolate, a 
land not inhabited.

10 To whom shall I speak, and 
1 give warning, that they may hear?

: for even the" husband with the

12 And * their houses shall be 
turned unto others, with their fields 
and wives together: for I will 
stretch out my hand upon the 
inhabitants of the land, saith the 
Loed. 

13 For from the least of them

ness; and from the prophet even 
unto the priest every one dealeth

14 They have ?; healed also the 
4 hurt of the daughter of my people 
slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when 
there is no peace. 

15 Were they l ashamed when 
they had committed abomination? 
nay, they were not at all ashamed, 
neither could they blush: therefore 
they shall fall among them that 
fall: at the time Mart I visit them 
they shall be cast down, saith the 
Loed. 

16 Thus saith the Loed, Stand ye 
in the ways, and see, and ask for 
the m old "paths, where is the good 
wav, and walk therein, and ye 
shall find "rest for your souls. 
But they said, We will not walk 
therein.

country? your burnt offerings are 
not acceptable, nor your sacrifices 
sweet unto me. 

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 
Behold, I 'will lay stumblingblocks 
before this people, and the fathers 
and the sons together shall fall 
upon them; the neighbour and his 
friend shall perish. 

22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, 
a people cometh from the north 
country, and a great nation shall 
be raised from the sides of the earth. 

23 They shall lay hold on bow and 
spear; they are cruel, and have no 
mercy; their voice ' roareth like 
the sea; and they ride upon horses, 
set in array as men for war, against 
thee, daughter of Zion.

thereof: our hands wax feeble:

and pain, as of a woman in travail.

saying, The temple b of the Lord, 
The temple of the Lord, The tem- 
ple of the Lord, are these. 

5 For if ye throughly amend 
your ways and your doings; if ye 
throughly execute judgment be- 
tween a man and his neighbour; 

6 If ye oppress not the stranger, 
the fatherless, and the widow, and 
shed not innocent blood in this 
place, c neither walk after other 
gods to your hurt; 

7 Then d will I cause you to dwell 
in this place, in the land that I 
gave to your fathers, for ever and 
ever. 

8 f Behold, ye trust in lying 
words, that cannot profit. 

9 Will e ye steal, murder, and 
commit adultery, and swear falsely, 
and bum incense unto Baal, / and 
walk after other gods whom ye 
know not; 

10 And 9 come and stand before 
me in this house, l which is called 
by my name, and say, We are 
delivered to do all these abomina- 
tions? 

11 Is h this house, which is called 
by my name, become 'a den of 
robbers in your eyes ? Behold, 
even * I have seen it, saith the 
Lord. 

12 But go ye now unto * my place 
which was in Shiloh, l where I set 
my name at the first, and m see 
what I did to it for the wickedness 
of my people Israel 

13 And now, because ye have 
done all these works, saith the 
Lord, and I spake unto you, 
rising n up early and speaking, 
but ye heard not; and I ° called 
you, but ye answered not; 

14 Therefore will I do unto this 
house, which is called by my 
name, wherein ye trust, and unto 
the place which I gave to you and 
to your fathers, as I have done p to 
Shiloh. 

15 And I will cast you out of my 
sight, q as I have cast out all your 
brethren, even the whole seed of 
Ephraim. 

16 Therefore r pray not thou for 
this people, neither lift up cry nor 
prayer for them, neither make 
intercession to me: * for I will not 
hear thee. 

17 % Seest thou not what they do 
in the cities of Judah, and in the 
streets of Jerusalem? 

18 The children gather wood, and 
the fathers kindle the fire, and the 
women knead their dough, to make

cakes to the 2 queen of heaven, 
and to pour out drink offerings 
unto other gods, that they may 
provoke me to anger. 

19 Do * they provoke me to anger? 
saith the Lord: do they not provoke 
themselves to the confusion of their 
own faces? 

20 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, mine anger and my 
fury shall be poured out upon this 
place, upon man, and upon beast, 
and upon the trees of the field, and 
upon the fruit of the ground; and 
it shall burn, and shall not be 
quenched. 

21 1[ Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel; w Put your burnt 
offerings unto your sacrifices, and 
eat flesh. 

22 For * I spake not unto your 
fathers, nor commanded them in 
the day that I brought them out 
of the land of Egypt, 3 concerning 
burnt offerings or sacrifices: 

23 But this thing commanded I 
them, saying, w Obey my voice, 
and x I will be your God, and ye 
shall be my people; and walk ye 
in all the ways that I have com- 
manded you, that it may be well 
unto you. 

24 But they hearkened not, nor 
inclined their ear, but y walked in 
the counsels and in the 4 imagina- 
tion of their evil heart, and 5 went 
backward, and not forward. 

25 Since the day that your fathers 
came forth out of the land of 
Egypt unto this day I have z even 
sent unto you all my servants the 
prophets, daily rising up early and 
sending them: 

26 Yet they hearkened not unto 
me, nor inclined their ear, ° but 
hardened their neck : they did 
worse than their fathers. 

27 Therefore h thou shalt speak 
all these words unto them; but 
they will not hearken to thee : 
thou shalt also call unto them; 
but they will not answer thee. 

28 But thou shalt say unto them, 
This is a nation that obeyeth not 
the voice of the Lord their God, 
nor receiveth 6 correction : truth 
is perished, and is cut off from 
their mouth. 

29 H Cut c off thine hair, Jerusa- 
lem, and cast it away, and take up 
a lamentation on high places; for 
the Lord hath rejected and for- 
saken the d generation of his 
wrath.

is called by my name, to pollute 
it. 

31 And they have built the / high 
places of Tophet, which is in the 
valley of the son of Hinnom, to 
burn their sons and their daughters 
in the fire; 9 which I commanded 
them not, neither 7 came it into my 
heart. 

32 % Therefore, behold, the days 
come, saith the Lord, that it shall 
no more be caUed Tophet, nor The 
valley of the son of Hinnom, but, 
The valley of slaughter: h for they 
shall bury in Tophet, till there be 
no place. 

33 And the carcases of this people 
shall be meat for the fowls of the 
heaven, and for the beasts of the 
earth; and none shall fray them 
away. 

34 Then will I cause to * cease

1 llie Jews' calamity: 4 their impenitency 
upbraided; 13 their judgment. 

AT that time, saith the Lord, 
they shall bring out the bones 
of the kings of Judah, and the 
bones of his princes, and the bones 
of the priests, and the bones of the 
prophets, and the bones of the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of 
their graves: 

2 And they shall spread them 
before the sun, and the moon, and 
all the host of heaven, whom they 
have loved, and whom they have 
served, and after whom they have 
walked, and whom they have 
sought, and " whom they have 
worshipped: they shall not be 
gathered, nor be buried ; b they 
shall be for dung upon the face 
of the earth. 

3 And c death shall be chosen 
rather than life by all the residue 
of them that remain of this, evil 
family, which remain in all the 
places whither I have driven them, 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

4 ^j Moreover thou shalt say unto 
them, Thus saith the Lord; Shall 
they fall, and not arise? shall he 
turn away, and not return? 

5 Why then is this people of Jeru- 
salem slidden back by a perpetual

backsliding? they hold fast deceit, 
they d refuse to return. 

6 I e hearkened and heard, lut 
they spake not aright: no man 
repented him of his -wickedness, 
saying, What have I done? every 
one turned to his course, as the 
horse rusheth into the battle. 

7 Yea, / the stork in the heaven 
knoweth her appointed times; and 
the 9 turtle and the crane and the 
swallow observe the time of their 
coming; but my people know not 
the judgment of the Lord. 

8 How do ye say, "We are wise, 
and n the law of the Lord is with 
us? Lo, certainly 1 in vain made 
he it; the pen of the scribes is in 
vain. 

9 2 The wise men are ashamed, 
they are dismayed and taken: lo, 
they have rejected the word of the 
Lord; and 3 what wisdom is in 
them? 

10 Therefore * will I give their 
wives unto others, and their fields 
to them that shall inherit them: 
for every one from the least even 
unto the greatest is given to cov- 
etousness, i from the prophet even 
unto the priest every one dealeth 
falsely. 

11 For they have * healed the 
hurt of the daughter of my people 
slightly, saying, Peace, l peace; 
when there is no peace. 

12 Were they m ashamed when 
they had committed abomination? 
nay, they were not at all ashamed, 
neither could they blush: therefore 
shall they fall among them that 
fall: in the time of their visitation 
they shall be cast down, saith the 
Lord. 

13 4 I will surely consume them, 
saith the Lord: there shall be no 
grapes- n on the vine, nor figs on 
the ° fig tree, and the leaf shall 
fade; and the things that I have 
given them shall pass away from 
them. 

14 ^ Why do we sit still? assem- 
ble yourselves, and let us enter 
into the defenced cities, and let us 
be silent there; for the Lord our 
God hath put us to silence, and 
given us p water of 6 gall to drink, 
because we have sinned against 
the Lord.

they are come, and have devoured

therein. 

17 For, behold, I will send ser- 
pents, cockatrices, among you, 
which toill not be charmed, and 
they shall bite you, saith the 
Lord. 

18 ^j When I would comfort my- 
self against sorrow, my heart is 
faint 7 in me. 

19 Behold the voice of the cry of 
the daughter of my people 8 because 
of them that dwell in a far coun- 
try: Is not the Lord in Zion? is 
not her King in her? Why have 
they provoked me to anger with 
their graven images, and with 
strange vanities? 

20 The harvest is past, the sum- 
mer is ended, and we are not 
saved. 

21 For the hurt of the daughter 
of my people am I hurt; I r am 
black; astonishment hath taken 
hold on me. 

22 Is there no * balm in Gilead? is 
there no physician there? why then 
is not the health of the daughter 
of my people 9 recovered? 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 The prophet bewails the manifold sins 
of his people, 9 and their judgments. 

H x that my head were waters, 
and mine eyes a fountain of 
tears, that I might weep day and 
night for the slain of the daughter 
of my people! 

2 Oh that I had in the wilderness 
a lodging place of wayfaring men, 
that 1 might leave my people, and 
go from them! for they be all 
adulterers, an assembly of treacher- 
ous men. 

3 And they bend their tongues 
like their bow for lies; but they are 
not valiant for the truth upon the 
earth: for they proceed from evil 
to evil, and they a know not me, 
saith the Lord. 

4 Take b ye heed every one of his 

2 neighbour, and trust ye not in 
any brother: for every brother will 
utterly supplant, and every neigh- 
bour will walk with slanders. 

5 And they will 3 deceive every 
one his neighbour, and will not 
speak the truth: they have taught 
their tongue to speak lies, and 
weary themselves to commit ini- 
quity. 

6 Thine habitation is in the midst 
of deceit; through deceit c they

refuse to know me, saith the 
Lord. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, Behold, d I will melt them, 
and try them; for 6 how shall I do 
for the daughter of my people? 

8 Their tongue is as an arrow 
shot out; it speaketh deceit: one 
speaketh peaceably to his neigh- 
hour with his mouth, but 4 in heart 
he layeth 5 his wait. 

9 % Shall I not visit them for 
these things? saith the Lord: shall 
not my soul be avenged on such a 
nation as this? 

10 For the mountains will I take 
up a weeping and wailing, and for 
the 6 habitations of the wilderness 
a lamentation, because they are 
7 burnt up, so that none can pass 
through them; neither can men hear 
the voice of the cattle; 8 both the 
fowl of the heavens and the beast 
are fled; they are gone. 

11 And I will make Jerusalem 
heaps, and a den of dragons; and I 
will make the cities of Judah 

9 desolate, without an inhabitant. 

12 % "Who * is the wise man, that 
may understand this? and who is 
he to whom the mouth of the Lord 
hath spoken, that he may declare 
it, for what the land perisheth and 
is burnt up like a wilderness, that 
none passeth through? 

13 And the Lord saith, Because 
they have forsaken my law which 
I set before them, and have not 
obeyed my voice, neither walked 
therein; 

14 But have walked after the 

10 imagination of their own heart, 
and after Baalim, which 9 their 
fathers taught them: 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, 
I will A feed them, even this people, 
with * wormwood, and give them 
water of n gall to drink. 

16 1 will i scatter them also among 
the heathen, whom neither they 
nor their fathers have known; 
and * I will send a sword after 
them, till I have consumed them. 

17 \ Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
Consider ye, and call for * the 
mourning women, that they may 
come; and send for cunning women, 
that they may come: 

18 And let them make haste, and 
take up a wailing for us, that m our 
eyes may run down with tears, and 
our eyelids gush out with waters. 

19 For a voice of wailing is heard 
out of Zion, How are we spoiled!

we are greatly confounded, because 
we have forsaken the land, because

20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, 

ye women, and let your ear 
receive the word of his mouth, 
and teach your daughters wailing, 
and every one her neighbour 
lamentation: 

21 For death is come up into our 
windows, and is entered into our 
palaces, to cut off the children 
from without, and the young men 
from the streets. 

22 Speak, Thus saith the Lord, 
Even the carcases of men shall fall 
as dung upon the open field, and 
as the handful after the harvest- 
man, and none shall gather them. 

23 % Thus saith the Lord, • Let 
not the wise man glory in his wis- 
dom, neither let the mighty man 
glory in his might, let not the rich 
man glory in his riches: 

24 But p let him that glorieth 
glory in this, that he understand- 
eth and knoweth me, that I am 
the Lord which exercise loving- 
kindness, judgment, and right- 
eousness, in the earth: 8 for in these 
things I delight, saith the Lord. 

25 f_ Behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, r that I will n punish 
all them which are circumcised with 
the uncircumcised; 

26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, 
and the children of Ammon, and 
Moab, and all that are u in the ut- 
most corners, that dwell in the 
wilderness: for all these nations are 
uncircumcised, and all the house 
of Israel are s uncircumcised in the 
heart. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Great disparity between God and idols. 
17 The people warned for a removal: 
19 their desolation lamented. 

HEAR ye the word which the 
Lord speaketh imto you, O 
house of Israel: 

2 Thus saith the Lord, ° Learn 
not the way of the heathen, and 
be not dismayed at the signs of 
heaven; for the heathen are dis- 
mayed at them. 

3 For the x customs of the people 
are vain: for one cutteth a tree out 
of the forest (the work of the hands 
of the workman) with the ax: 

4 They deck it with silver and 
with gold; they fasten it with 
nails and with hammers, that it 
move not. 

5 They are upright as the palm 
tree, b but speak not: they must

needs be c borne, because tbey 
cannot go. Be not afraid of them; 
for they cannot do evil, neither 
also is it in them to do good. 

6 Forasmuch as there is none d like 
unto thee, Lord; thou art great, 
and thy name is great in might. 

7 Who e would not fear thee, 
King of nations? for 2 to thee doth 
it appertain: forasmuch as among 
all the wise men of the nations, 
and in all their kingdoms, there is 
none like unto thee. 

8 But they are 3 altogether bru- 
tish and foolish; the stock is a 
doctrine of vanities. 

9 Silver spread into plates is 
brought from Tarshish, and' gold 
from Uphaz, the work of the work- 
man, and of the hands of the 
founder: blue and purple is their 
clothing: they are all the work of 
cunning men. 

10 But the Lord is the 4 true God, 
he is the 9 living God, and an 
6 everlasting King : at his wrath 
the earth shall tremble, and the 
nations shall not be able to abide 
his indignation. 

11 6 Thus shall ye say unto them, 
The gods that have not made the 
heavens and the earth, even they 
shall perish from the earth, and 
from under these heavens. 

12 He h hath made the earth by 
his power, he hath established the 
world by his wisdom, and hath 
stretched out the heavens by his 
discretion. 

13 When he uttereth his voice, 
there is a 7 multitude of waters in 
the heavens, and he causeth the 
vapours to ascend from the ends 
of the earth; he maketh lightnings 
8 with rain, and bringeth forth the 
wind out of his treasures. 

14 Every man 9 is brutish in his 
knowledge: every founder is con- 
founded by the graven image: for 
his molten image is falsehood, and 
there is no breath in them. 

15 They are vanity, and the work 
of errors: in the time of their visi- 
tation they shall perish. 

16 The * Portion of Jacob is not 
like them: for he is the former of 
all things; and i Israel is the rod 
of his inheritance : The Lord of 
hosts is his name. 

17 % Gather up thy wares out of 
the land, 10 inhabitant of the 
fortress:

Truly this is a grief, and 1 1 must

Lord: therefore they shall not 

i prosper, and all their flocks shall 
be scattered. 

22 Behold, the noise of the bruit 
is come, and a great commotion 
out of the north country, to make 
the cities of Judah desolate, and a 
den of dragons. 

23 If O Lord, I know that m the 
way of man is not in himself: it is 
not in man that walketh to direct 
his steps. 

24 O Lord, n correct me, but with 
judgment; not in thine anger, lest 
thou u bring me to nothing. 

25 Pour out thy fury upon the 
heathen that °know thee not, 
and upon the families that call 
not on thy name: for they have 
eaten up Jacob, and devoured 
him, and consumed him, and 
have made his habitation deso

CHAPTER XL 

1 Jeremiah proclaims God's covenant: 3 

he rebukes the disobedient Jews; 11 he 

prophesies evils to come upon them, etc. 

I^HE word that came to Jere- 
. miah from the Lord, saying, 

2 Hear ye the words of this cove- 
nant, and speak unto the men of 
Judah, and to the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem; 

3 And say thou unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel; 
Cursed ° be the man that obeyeth 
not the words of this covenant, 

4 Which I commanded your 
fathers in the day that I brought 
them forth out of the land of 
Egypt, from the iron furnace, say- 
ing, b Obey my voice, and do them, 
according to all which I command 
you: so shall ye be my people, and 
I will be your God: 

5 That I may perform the c oath 
which I have sworn unto your 
fathers, to give them a land flow- 
ing with milk and honey, as it is 
this day. Then answered I, and 
said, l JSo be it, O Lord. 



God's covenant proclaimed. 



JEREMIAH, XII. The men of Anathoth denounced. 



6 Then the Lord said unto me, 
Proclaim all these words in the 
cities of Judah, and in the streets 
of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the 
words of this covenant, d and do 
them. 

7 For I earnestly protested unto 
your fathers in the day that I 
brought them up out of the land 
of Egypt, even unto this day, rising 
early and protesting, saying, Obey 
my voice. 

8 Yet they obeyed not, nor in- 
clined their ear, but walked every 
one in the 2 imagination of their 
evil heart: therefore I will bring 
upon them all the words of this 
covenant, which I commanded 
them to do; but they did them not. 

9 And the Lord said unto me, 
A a conspiracy is found among the 
men of Judah, and among the in- 
habitants of Jerusalem. 

10 They are turned back to / the 
iniquities of their forefathers, 
which refused to hear my words; 
and they went after other gods to 
serve them: the house of Israel and 
the house of Judah have broken 
my covenant which I made with 
their fathers. 

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 
Behold, I will bring evil upon 
them, which they shall not be able 
3 to escape; and y though they shall 
cry unto me, I will not hearken 
unto them. 

12 Then shall the cities of Judah 
and inhabitants of Jerusalem go 
and h cry unto the gods unto whom 
they offer incense: but they shall 
not save them at all in the time of 
their * trouble. 

13 For according to the number of 
thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; 
and according to the number of the 
streets of Jerusalem have ye set 
up altars to that 6 shameful thing, 
even altars to burn incense unto 
Baal. 

14 Therefore * pray not thou for 
this people, neither lift up a cry or 
prayer for them: for I will not 
hear them in the time that they 
cry unto me for their 6 trouble. 

15 7 What hath my beloved to do 
in mine house, seeing she hath 
wrought '" lewdness with many, 
and k the holy flesh is passed from 
thee? 8 when thou doest evil, then 
thou rejoicest

17 For the Lord of hosts, m that 
planted thee, hath pronounced 
evil against thee, for the evil of 
the house of Israel, and of the 
house of Judah, which they have 
done against themselves, to pro- 
voke me to anger, in offering in-

devised devices against me, saying, 
Let us destroy 8 the tree with the 
fruit thereof, " and let us cut him 
off from the land of the living, that 
his name may be no more remem- 
bered. 

20 But, Lord of hosts, ° that 
judgest righteously, that p triest 
the reins and the heart, let me see 
thy vengeance on them; for unto 
thee have I revealed my cause. 

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of the men of 2 Anathoth, that 
seek thy .life, saying, r Prophesy 
not in the name of the Lord, that 
thou die not by our hand: 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, Behold, I will 10 punish 
them: the young men shall die by 
the sword; their sons and their 
daughters shall die by famine: 

23 And there shall be no remnant 
of them: for I will bring evil upon 
the men of Anathoth, even * the 
year of their visitation.

judgments: b Wherefore doth the 
way of the wicked prosper? where- 
fore are all they happy that deal 
very treacherously? 

2 Thou hast planted them, yea, 
they have taken root: 2 they grow, 
yea, they bring forth fruit: c thou 
art near in their mouth, and far 
from their reins.

and the herbs of every field wither, 
for e the wickedness of them that 
dwell therein? the / beasts are 
consumed, and the birds; because 
they said, He shall not see our last 
end. 

5 f If thou hast run with the foot- 
men, and they have wearied thee, 
then how canst thou contend with 
horses? and if in the land of peace, 
wherein thou trustedst, they wearied 
thee, then how wilt thou do in 9 the 
swelling of Jordan? 

6 For even thy brethren, and the 
house of thy father, even they have 
dealt treacherously with thee; yea, 
* they have called a multitude after 
thee: believe them not, though 
they speak 6 fair words unto thee. 

7 % I have forsaken mine house, 
I have left mine heritage; I have 
given 6 the dearly beloved of my 
soul into the hand of her enemies. 

8 Mine heritage is unto me as a 
lion in the forest; it 7 crieth out 
against me: therefore h have I 
hated it. 

9 Mine heritage is unto me as a 

8 speckled bird; the birds round 
about are against her: come ye, 
assemble all the beasts of the field, 

9 come to devour. 

10 Many f pastors have destroyed 
my i vineyard, they have k trodden 
my portion under foot, they have 
made my 10 pleasant portion a 
desolate wilderness. 

11 They have made it desolate, 
and being desolate it mourneth unto 
me; the whole land is made deso- 
late, because l no man layeth it to 
heart. 

12 The spoilers are come upon all 
high places through the wilder- 
ness: for the sword of the Lord 
shall devour from the one end of 
the land even to the other end of 
the land: no flesh shall have 
peace. 

13 They m have sown wheat, but 
shall reap thorns: they have put 
themselves to pain, but shall not 
profit: and u they shall be ashamed 
of your revenues because of the 
fierce anger of the Lord. 

14 ^1 Thus saith the Lord against 
all mine evil neighbours, n that 
touch the inheritance which I have 
caused my people Israel to inherit; 
Behold, I will ° pluck them out of

CHAPTER XHI. 

1 By the type of a linen girdle God pre- 
figures his people's destruction. 12 By 
the bottles jilted with wine their excess 
in misery foretold. 15 Exhortation to 
repentance. 

THUS saith the Lord unto me, 
Go and get thee a linen girdle, 
and put it upon thy loins, and put 
it not in water. 

2 So I got a girdle, according to 
the word of the Lord, and put it 
on my loins. 

3 And the word of the Lord came 
unto me the second time, saying, 

4 Take the girdle that thou hast 
got, which is upon thy loins, and 
arise, go to ° Euphrates, and hide 
it there in a hole of the rock. 

5 So I went, and hid it by 
Euphrates, as the Lord com- 
manded me. 

6 And it came to pass after many 
days, that the Lord said unto me, 
Arise, go to Euphrates, and take 
the girdle from thence, which I 
commanded thee to hide there. 

7 Then I went to Euphrates, and 
digged, and took the girdle from 
the place where I had hid it: and, 
behold, the girdle was marred, it 
was b profitable for nothing. 

8 Then the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

9 Thus saith the Lord, After this 
manner will c I mar the pride of 
Judah, and the great pride of 
Jerusalem. 

10 This evil people, which d refuse 
to hear my words, which e walk in 
the J imagination of then heart, 
and walk after other gods, to serve 
them, and to worship them, shall 
even be as this girdle, which is 
good for nothing. 

11 For as the girdle cleaveth to 
the loins of a man, so have I caused 
to cleave unto me the whole house 
of Israel and the whole house of 
Judah, saith the Lord; that*'' they 
might be unto me for a people, 
and ^for a name, and for a praise,

and for a glory: but they would 
not hear. 

12 % Therefore thou shalt speak 
unto them this word, Thus saith 
the Lord God of Israel, Every 
bottle shall be filled with wine: 
and they shall say unto thee, Do 
we not certainly know that every 
bottle shall be hlled with wine? 

13 Then shalt thou say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I 
will fill all the inhabitants of this 
land, even the kings that sit upon 
David's throne, and the priests, 
and the prophets, and all the in- 
habitants of Jerusalem, h with 
drunkenness. 

14 And I will dash them 2 one 
against another, even the fathers 
and the sons together, saith the 
Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, 
nor have mercy, 3 but destroy 
them. 

15 ^ Hear * ye, and give ear; be 
not proud ; for the Lord hath 
spoken. 

16 Give 3 glory to the Lord your 
God, before he cause * darkness, 
and before your feet stumble upon 
the dark mountains, and, while ye 
look l for light, he turn it m into 
the shadow of death, and make it 
gross darkness. 

17 But if ye will not hear it, my 
soul shall weep in secret places for 
your pride; and mine eye shall 
weep sore, and run down with 
tears, because the Lord's flock is 
carried away captive. 

18 Say unto n the king and to the 
queen, Humble yourselves, sit 
down : for your * principalities 
shall come down, even the crown 
of your glory. 

19 The cities of the south shall be 
shut up, and none shall open 
them: Judah shall be carried away 
captive ° all of it, it shall be wholly 
carried away captive. 

20 Lift up your eyes, and behold 
them that v come from the north: 
where is the flock that was given 
thee, thy beautiful flock? 

21 What wilt thou say when he 
shall 5 punish thee? for thou hast 
taught them to be captains, and as 
chief over thee; shall not sorrows 
take thee, as a woman in travail? 

22 % And if thou say in thine 
heart, Wherefore 9 come these 
things upon me? For the great- 
ness of thine iniquity are r thy 
skirts discovered, and thy heels 
6 made bare.

CHAPTER XIV. 

1 A grievous famine. 7 The prophet's 
prayer. 13 Both the lying prophets and 
the people who believe them shall perish. 

THE word of the Lord that came 
to Jeremiah concerning x the 
dearth. 

2 Judah mourneth, and a the 
gates thereof languish; they are 
black unto the ground; and b the 
cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 

3 And their nobles have sent 
their little ones to the waters: they 
came to the 2 pits, and found no 
water; they returned with then- 
vessels empty; they were c ashamed 
and confounded, d and covered 
their heads. 

4 Because the ground ischapt, for 
there was no rain in the earth, 
the plowmen were ashamed, they 
covered their heads. 

5 Yea, the hind also calved in the 
field, and forsook it, because there 
was no grass. 

6 And c the wild asses did stand 
in the high places, they snuffed up 
the wind like dragons; their eyes 
did fail, because there was no

8 O g the Hope of Israel, A the 
Saviour thereof in time of trouble, 
why shouldest thou be as a stranger 
in the land, and as a wayfaring 
man that turneth aside to tarry for 
a night? 

9 Why shouldest thou be as a man 
astonied, as a mighty man t that 
cannot save? yet thou, i O Lord,

art in the midst of us, and 3 we 
are called by thy name; leave us 
not. 

10 *ff Thus saith the Lord unto 
this people, Thus have they loved 
to wander, they have not refrained 
their feet; therefore the Lord doth 
not accept them: * he will now 
remember their iniquity, and visit 
their sins. 

11 Then said the Lord unto me, 
Pray * not for this people for their 
good. 

12 When m they fast, I will not 
hear their cry; and when they 
offer burnt offering and an obla- 
tion, I will not accept them: but 
I will consume them by the sword, 
and by the famine, and by the 
pestilence. 

13 If Then said I, Ah, Lord God! 
behold, the prophets say unto them, 
Ye shall not see the sword, neither 
shall ye have famine; but I will 
give you 4 assured peace in this 
place. 

14 Then the Lord said unto me, 
The prophets prophesy lies in my 
name: n I sent them not, neither | 
have I commanded them, neither 
spake unto them: they prophesy 
unto you a false vision and divina- 
tion, and a thing of nought, and 
the deceit of their heart. 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
concerning the prophets that pro- 
phesy in my name, and I sent 
them not, yet they say, Sword and 
famine shall not be in this land; 
By sword and famine shall ° those 
prophets be consumed. 

16 And the people to whom they 
prophesy shall be p cast out in the 
streets of Jerusalem, because of the 
famine and the sword; and 2 they 
shall have none to bury them, 
them, their wives, nor their sons, 
nor their daughters: for I will pour 
their wickedness upon them. 

17 Therefore thou shalt say this 
word unto them; r Let mine eyes 
run down with tears night and 
day, and let them not cease: • for 
the virgin daughter of my people 
is broken with a great breach, with 
a very grievous blow. 

18 If I go forth into the ' field, 
then behold the slain with the 
sword! and if I enter into the city, 
then behold them that are sick 
with famine! yea, both the prophet 
and the priest 5 go about into a 
land that they know not. 

19 Hast M thou utterly rejected 
Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion?

CHAPTER XV. 

1 Utter rejection and manifold judgments 
of the Jews. 10 Jeremiah, complaining 
of their spite, 19 receives a gracious pro- 
mise. 

'PHEN said the Lord unto me, 
J- Though a Moses and 6 Samuel 
stood before me, yet my mind could 
not be toward this people: eastern 
out of my sight, and let them go 
forth. 

2 And it shall come to pass, if they 
say unto thee, Whither shall we 
go forth? then thou shalt tell them, 
Thus saith the Lord; c Such as are 
for death, to death; and such as 
are for the sword, to the sword; 
and such as are for the famine, to 
the famine; and such as are for the 
captivity, to the captivity. 

3 And I will <* appoint over them 
four x kinds, saith the Lord; the 
sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, 
and e the fowls of the heaven, and 
the beasts of the earth, to devour 
and destroy. 

4 And 2 1 will cause them to / be 
removed into all kingdoms of the 
earth, because of Manasseh 9 the 
son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for 
that which he did in Jerusalem. 

5 For A who shall have pity upon 
thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall 
bemoan thee? or who shall go aside 
3 to ask how thou doest? 

6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith 
the Lord, thou art gone backward: 
therefore will I stretch out my 
hand against thee, and destroy 
thee; * I am weary with repenting. 

7 And I will fan them with a fan 
in the gates of' the land ; I will 
bereave them of 4 children, I will 
destroy my people, since > they 
return not from their ways.

8 Their widows are increased to 
me above the sand of the seas: I 
have brought upon them 5 against 
the mother of the young men a 
spoiler at noon-day; I have caused 
him to fall upon it suddenly, and 
terrors upon the city. 

9 She k that hath born seven lan- 
guished: she hath given up the 
ghost ; f her sun is gone down 
while it was yet day; she hath been 
ashamed and confounded: and the 
residue of them will I deliver to 
the sword before their enemies, 
saith the Lord. 

10 ^ Woe m is me, my mother, 
that thou hast born me a man of 
strife and a man of contention to 
the whole earth! I have neither 
lent on usury, nor men have lent 
to me on usury; yet every one of 
them doth curse me. 

11 The Lord said, Verily it shall 
be well with thy remnant; verily 
6 1 will cause the enemy to entreat 
thee well in the time of evil and 
in the time of affliction. 

12 Shall iron break the northern 
iron and the steel? 

13 Thy substance and thy treas- 
ures will I give to the B spoil with- 
out price, and that for all thy sins, 
even in all thy borders. 

14 And 1 will make thee to pass 
with thine enemies into a land 
which < thou knowest not: for ° a 
tire is kindled in mine anger, 
which shall burn upon you. 

15 % Lord, p thou knowest: re- 
member me, and visit me, 2 and 
revenge me of my persecutors; 
take me not away in thy long- 
suffering: know that r for thy sake 
I have suffered rebuke. 

16 Thy words were found, and I 
did * eat them; and f thy word was 
unto me the joy and rejoicing 
of mine heart: for 7 I am called 
by thy name, Lord God of hosts. 

17 I " sat not in the assembly of 
the mockers, nor rejoiced ; I sat 
alone, because of thy hand: for 
thou hast filled me with indigna- 
tion. 

18 Why is my pain v perpetual, 
and my wound incurable, which 
refuseth to be healed? wilt thou 
be altogether unto me as a liar, 
and v as waters that 8 fail?

stand before me; and if thou y take

CHAPTER XVL 

1 By two types the utter ruin of the Jews 
is foreshown: Li their return from cap- 
tivity stranger than their deliverance 
out of Egypt. 

THE word of the Lord came 
also unto me, saying, 

2 Thou "shalt not take thee a 
wife, neither shalt thou have sons 
or daughters in this place. 

3 For thus saith the Lord con- 
cerning the sons and concerning 
the daughters that are born in 
this place, and concerning their 
mothers that bare them, and con- 
cerning their fatheis that begat 
them in this land; 

4 They shall die of grievous 
deaths; they shall not be lamented, 
neither 6hall they be buried; but 
they shall be as dung upon the 
face of the earth: and they shall 
be consumed by the sword, and 
by famine; and their carcases shall 
be meat for the fowls of heaven, 
and for the beasts of the earth. 

5 For thus saith the Lord, 6 En- 
ter not into the house of 1 mourn- 
ing, neither go to lament nor 
bemoan them: for I have taken 
away my peace from this people, 
saith the Lord, even loving-kind- 
ness and mercies. 

6 Both the great and the small 
shall die in this land : they shall 
not be buried, neither shall men 
lament for them, nor c cut them- 
selves, nor d make themselves bald 
for them: 

7 Neither shall men 2 tear them- 
selves for them in mourning, to 
comfort them for the dead; neither 
shall men give them the cup * of 
consolation to drink for their father 
or for their mother. 

8 Thou shalt not also go into the 
house of feasting, to sit with them 
to eat and to drink. 

9 For thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, 
I / will cause to cease out of this 



Captivity of Judah foretold.

place in your eyes, and in your 
days, the voice of mirth, and the 
voice of gladness, the voice of the 
bridegroom, and the voice of the 
bride. 

10 f And it shall come to pass, 
when thou shalt show this people 
all these words, and they shall say 
unto thee, 9 Wherefore hath the 
Lord pronounced all this great 
evil against us ? or what is our 
iniquity? or what is our sin that 
we have committed against the 
Lord our God? 

11 Then shalt thou say unto 
them, h Because your fathers have 
forsaken me, saith the Lord, and 
have walked after other gods, and 
have served them, and have 
worshipped them, and have for- 
saken me, and have not kept my 
law; 

12 And ye have done * worse than 
your fathers; for, behold, ye walk 
every one after the 3 imagination 
of his evil heart, that they may 
not hearken unto me: 

13 Therefore * will I cast you out 
of this land k into a land that ye 
know not, neither ye nor your 
fathers; and there shall ye serve 
other gods day and night; where I 
will not show you favour. 

14 f 4 Therefore, behold, the days 
come, saith the Lord, that it shall 
no more be said, The Lord liveth, 
that brought up the children of 
Israel out of the land of Egypt; 

15 But, The Lord liveth, that 
brought up the children of Israel 
from the land of the north,. and 
from all the lands whither he had 
driven them : and I will bring 
them again into their land that 1 
gave unto then fathers. 

16 If Behold, I will send for many 
fishers, { saith the Lord, and they 
shall fish them; and after will I 
send for many hunters, and they 
shall hunt them from every moun- 
tain, and from every hill, and out 
of the holes of the rocks. 

17 For mine m eyes are upon all 
their ways: they are not hid from 
my face, neither is their iniquity 
hid from mine eyes. 

18 And n first I will recompense 
their iniquity and their sin double; 
because they Q have defiled my 
land, they have filled mine in- 
heritance with the carcases of 
their detestable and abominable 
things.

CHAPTER XVII. 

1 Captivity of Judah for sin. 5 Trust in 
man cursed, 7 in God blessed. 9 The 
deceitful heart cannot impose upon God. 
12 In God alone is sure salvation. 

HP HE sin of Judah is written 
-L with a a pen of iron, and with 
the * point of a diamond: it h is 
graven upon the table of their 
heart, and upon the horns of your 
altars; 

2 Whilst their children remem- 
ber their altars and their ° groves 
by the green trees upon the high 
hills. 

3 O my mountain in the field, d I 
will give thy substance and all thy 
treasures to the spoil, and thy high 
places for sin, throughout all thy 
borders. 

4 And thou, even 2 thyself, shalt 
discontinue from thine heritage 
that I gave thee; and I will cause 
thee to serve thine enemies in the 
land 6 which thou knowest not: 
for ye have kindled a fire in mine 
anger, which shall burn for 
ever. 

5 If Thus saith the Lord/ Cursed 
be the man that trusteth in man, 
and maketh flesh his arm, and 
whose heart departeth from the 
Lord: 

6 For he shall be like the heath 
in the desert, and g shall not see 
when good cometh; but shall in- 
habit the parched places in the 
wilderness, in a salt land and not 
inhabited. 

7 Blessed h is the man that trust- 
eth in the Lord, and whose hope 
the Lord is: 

8 For he shall be as a tree planted 
by the waters, and that spreadeth 
out her roots by the river, and 
shall not see when heat cometh, 
but her leaf shall be green; and 
shall not be careful in the year of 
3 drought, neither shall cease from 
yielding fruit

who can know it? 

10 I the Lord^" search the heart, 
/ try the reins, * even to give every 
man according to his ways, and 
according to the iruit of his do- 
ings. 

11 As the partridge 4 sitteth on

that getteth riches, and not by 
right, shall leave them in the 
midst of his days, and at his end 
shall be l a fool. 

12 % A glorious high throne from 
the beginning is the place of our 
sanctuary. 

13 Lokd, the hope of Israel, all 
that n forsake thee shall be

from me shall be n written in the 
earth, because they have forsaken 
the Lord, the fountain of living

saved: for thou art my praise. 

15 Behold, they say unto me, 
"Where ° is the word of the Lord?

16 As for me, I have not hastened

neither have I desired the woeful

Go and stand in the gate of the 
children of the people, whereby

CHAPTEK XVIII. 

Under the type of a potter, God shows hisab' 

solute power in disposing of nations. 

THE word which came to Jere- 
miah from the Lord, saying, 

2 Arise, and go down to the pot- 
ter's house, and there I will cause 
thee to hear my words. 

3 Then I went down to the 
potter's house; and, behold, he 
wrought a work on the 1 wheels. 

4 And the vessel 2 that he made 
of clay was a marred in the hand 
of the potter: so he 3 made it again 
another vessel, as seemed good to 
the potter to make it. 

5 Then the word of the Lord 
came to me, saying, 

6 O house of Israel, h cannot I do 
with you as this potter? saith the 
Lord. Behold, c as the clay is in 
the potter's hand, so are ye in mine 
hand, O house of Israel. 

7 At what instant I shall speak 
concerning a nation, and concern- 
ing a kingdom, to d pluck up, and 
to pull down, and to destroy it; 



God's power over the nations. JEREMIAH, XIX. Desolation of the Jews foretold. 



8 If e that nation, against whom 
I have pronounced, turn from 
their evil, ' I will repent of the 
evil that I thought to do unto them. 

9 And at what instant I shall 
speak concerning a nation, and 
concerning a kingdom, to build 
and to plant it; 

10 If it do evil in my sight, that 
it obey not my voice, then I will 
repent of the good wherewith I 
said I would benefit them. 

11 Now therefore go to, speak 
to the men of Judah, and to the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 
Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I 
frame evil against you, and devise 
a device against you: 9 return ye 
now every one from his evil way, 
and make your ways and your 
doings good. 

12 And they said, There is no 
hope: but we will walk after our 
own devices, and we will every 
one do the imagination of his evil 
heart. 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 
Ask A ye now among the heathen, 
who hath heard such things? the 
virgin of Israel hath done a very 
horrible thing. 

14 Will a man leave 4 the snow of 
Lebanon which cometh from the 
rock of the held? or shall the cold 
flowing waters that come from 
another place be forsaken? 

15 Because my people 'hath 
forgotten me, they have burnt 
incense to 3 vanity, and they have 
caused them to stumble in their 
ways from the k ancient paths, to 
walk in l paths, in a way not cast 
up; 

16 To make their land m desolate, 
and a perpetual n hissing : every 
one that passeth thereby shall be 
astonished, and wag his head. 

17 I ° will scatter them p as with 
an east wind before the enemy; I 
will show them the back, and 
not the face, in the day of their 
calamity. 

18 11 Then said they, q Come, and 
let us devise devices against Jere- 
miah; r for the law shall not perish 
from the priest, nor counsel from 
the wise, nor the word from the 
prophet: come, and let us smite 
him s with the tongue, and let us 
not give heed to any of his words. 

19 Give heed to me, Lord, and 
hearken to the voice of them that 
contend with me.

good? for * they have digged a pit

CHABTEK XIX. 

Under the type of breaking a potter's 
vessel, is joreshowed the desolation of 
the Jews. 

THUS saith the Lord, Go and 
get a potter's earthen bottle, 
and take of the ancients of the 
people, and of a the ancients of the 
priests; 

2 And go forth unto 6 the valley 
of the son of Hinnom, which is by 
the entry of 1 the east gate, c and 
proclaim there the words that I 
shall tell thee, 

3 And say, Hear ye the word of 
the Lord, O kings of Judah, and 
inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus 
saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil 
upon this place, the which whoso- 
ever heareth, his ears shall tingle. 

4 Because they d have forsaken 
me, and have estranged this place, 
and have burnt incense in it unto 
other gods, whom neither they 
nor their fathers have known, nor 
the kings of Judah, and have 
tilled this place with 6 the blood of 
innocents; 

5 They have built also the high 
places of Baal, to burn their sons 
with fire for burnt offerings unto 
Baal, / which I commanded not, 
nor spake it, neither came it into 
my mind: 

6 Therefore, behold, the days 
come, saith the Lord, that this 
place shall no more be called 
Tophet, nor J/ The valley of the 
son of Hinnom, but The valley of 
slaughter. 



Destruction of Jerusalem foretold. JEREMIAH, XX. 



Fashur's fearful doom. 



I And I will make void the 
counsel of Judah and Jerusalem 
in this place; h and I will cause 
them to fall by the sword before 
their enemies, and by the hands 
of them that seek their lives; and 
their * carcases will I give to be 
meat for the fowls of the heaven, 
and for the beasts of the earth. 

8 And I will make this > city 
desolate, and an hissing; every one 
that passeth thereby shall be aston- 
ished and hiss because of all the 
plagues thereof. 

9 And I will cause them to eat 
the * flesh of their sons, and the 
flesh of their daughters, and they 
shall eat every one the flesh of 
his friend, in the siege and strait- 
ness wherewith their enemies, and 
they that seek their lives, shall 
straiten them. 

10 Then l shalt thou break the 
bottle in the sight of the men that 
go with thee, 

II And shalt say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
Even m so will I break this people, 
and this city, as one breaketh a 
potter's vessel, that cannot 2 be 
made whole again: and they shall 
bury n them in Tophet, till there be 
no place to bury. 

12 Thus will I do unto this place, 
saith the Lord, and to the inhab- 
itants thereof, and even make this 
city as Tophet: 

13 And the houses of Jerusalem, 
and the houses of the kings of 
Judah, shall be defiled * as the 
place of Tophet, because of all the 
houses upon whose p roofs they 
have burned incense unto all the 
host of heaven, and have 9 poured 
out drink offerings unto other 
gods. 

14 Then came Jeremiah from 
Tophet, whither the Lord had 
sent him to prophesy; and he stood 
in r the court of the Lord's house, 
and said to all the people, 

15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel; Behold, I will 
bring upon this city and upon 
all her towns all the evil that 1 
have pronounced against it, be- 
cause they * have hardened their 
necks, that they might not hear 
my words.

governor in the house of the Lord, 
heard that Jeremiah prophesied 
these things. 

2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah 
the prophet, and put him in the 
stocks that were in the high gate 
of Benjamin, which was by the 
house of the Lord. 

3 And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that Pashur brought forth 
Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then 
said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord 
hath not called thy name Pashur, 
but l Magor-missabib. 

4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, 

1 will make thee 6 a terror to thy- 
self, and to all thy friends: and 
they shall fall by the sword of their 
enemies, and thine eyes shall be- 
hold it: and I will give all Judah 
into the hand of the king of Baby- 
lon, and he shall carry them cap- 
tive into Babylon, and shall slay 
them with the sword. 

5 Moreover I c will deliver all the 

2 strength of this city, and all the 
labours thereof, and all the pre- 
cious things thereof, and all the 
treasures of the kings of Judah 
will I give into the hand of their 
enemies, which shall spoil them, 
and take them, and carry them to 
Babylon. 

6 And thou, Pashur, and all that 
dwell in thine house, shall go into 
captivity: and thou shalt come to 
Babylon, and there thou shalt die, 
and shalt be buried there, thou, 
and all thy friends, to whom thou 
hast d prophesied lies. 

7 \ O Lord, thou hast deceived 
me, and I was 3 deceived; e thou 
art stronger than I, and hast pre- 
vailed;/ I am in derision daily, 
every one mocketh me. 

8 lor since I spake, I cried out, 
I 9 cried violence and spoil; be- 
cause the word of the Lord was 
made a reproach unto me, and a 
derision, daily. 

9 Then I said, I will not make 
mention of him, nor speak any 
more in his name: but his word 
was in mine heart as a* burning 
fire shut up in my bones, and I 
was weary with forbearing, and » I 
could not stay. 

10 For i I heard the defaming of 
many, fear on every side. Report, 
say they, and we will report it. 
4 All my familiars watched for my 
halting, saying, Peradventure he 
will be enticed, and we shall prevail 
against him, and we shall take our 
revenge on him. 



Zedekiah! s enquiry of Jeremiah. JEREMIAH, XXI. 



A hard siege foretold. 



11 But the k Lord is with me as a 
mighty terrible one: therefore my 
persecutors shall stumble, and 
they shall not l prevail: they shall 
be greatly ashamed; for they shall 
not prosper: their everlasting con- 
fusion shall never be forgotten. 

12 But, Lord of hosts, m that 
triest the righteous, and seest the 
reins and the heart, n let me see 
thy vengeance on them: for unto 
thee have I opened my cause. 

13 Sing unto the Lord, praise ye 
the Lord; for ° he hath delivered 
the soul of the poor from the hand 
of evil-doers. 

14 ^f Cursed p be the day where- 
in I was born: let not the day 
wherein my mother bare me be 
blessed. 

15 Cursed be the man who brought 
tidings to my father, saying, A 
man-child is born unto thee, mak- 
ing him very glad. 

16 And let that man be as the 
! cities which the Lord 9 overthrew, 

and repented not : and let r him 
hear the cry in the morning, and 
the shouting at noontide; 

17 Because * he slew me not from 
the womb; or that my mother 
might have been my grave, and 
her womb to be always great with 
me. 

18 Wherefore ' came I forth out 
of the womb to M see labour and

consumed with shame?

will deal with us according to all 
his wondrous works, that he may 
go up from us. 

3 % Then said Jeremiah unto 
them, Thus shall ye say to Zede- 
kiah:

Israel, Behold, I will turn back the 
weapons of war that are in your 
hands, wherewith ye fight against 
the king of Babylon, and against

without the walls, and d I will 
assemble them into the midst of 
this city. 

5 And I myself will fight against 
you with an 6 outstretched hand, 
and with a strong arm, even in 
anger, and in fury, and in great 
wrath. 

6 And I will smite the inhabit- 
ants of this city, both man and 
beast: they shall die of a great pes- 
tilence. 

7 And afterward, saith the Lord, 

1 / will deliver Zedekiah king of 
Judah, and his servants, and the 
people, and such as are left in this 
city from the pestilence, from the 
sword, and from the famine, into 
the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of 
Babylon, and into the hand of their 
enemies, and into the hand of those 
that seek their life: and he shall 
smite them with the edge of the 
sword; g he shall not spare them, 
neither have pity, nor have mercy. 

8 <§ And unto this people thou 
shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, 
Behold, A I set before you the way 
of life, and the way of death. 

9 He that * abideth in this city 
shall die by the sword, and by the 
famine, and by the pestilence: but 
he that goeth out, and falleth to 
the Chaldeans that besiege you, 
he shall live, and i his life shall be 
unto him for a prey. 

10 For I have k set my face 
against this city for evil, and not 
for good, saith the Lord: l it shall 
be given into the hand of the king 
of Babylon, and he shall m burn 
it with fire. 

11 % And touching the house of 
the king of Judah, sag, Hear ye 
the word of the Lord; 

12 O house of David, thus saith 
the Lord; x Execute judgment " in 
the morning, and deliver him that 
is spoiled out of the hand of the 
oppressor, lest my fury go out like 
fire, and burn that none can quench 
it, because of the evil of your 
doings. 

13 Behold, ° I am against thee, O 

2 inhabitant of the valley, and rock 
of the plain, saith the Lord; which 
say/ Who shall come down against 
us? or who shall enter into our 
habitations? 

14 But I will 3 punish you accord- 
ing to the fruit s of your doings, 
saith the Lord; and 1 will kindle 
a fire in the forest thereof, and r it 
shall devour all things round about 
it 



Judgments threatened on Shallum, JEBEMIAH, XXII. on Jehoiakim, and on Coniah. 



CHAPTER XXII. 

1 Exhortation to repentance. 10 Judgment 
of Shallum, 13 of Jehoiakim, 20 and of 
Coniah. 

THUS saith the Lord; Go down 
to the house of the king of 
Judah, and speak there this word, 

2 And say, Hear the word of the 
Lord, king of Judah, that sittest 
upon the throne of David, thou, 
and thy servants, and thy people 
that enter in by these gates; 

3 Thus saith the Lord, " Execute 
ye judgment and righteousness, 
and deliver the spoiled out of the 
hand of the oppressor: and do no 
wrong, do no violence to the 
stranger, the fatherless, nor the 
widow, neither shed innocent 
blood in this place. 

4 For if ye do this thing indeed, 
then h shall there enter in by the 
gates of this house kings sitting 
1 upon the throne of David, riding 
in chariots and on horses, he, and 
his servants, and his people. 

5 But if ye will not hear these 
words, I e swear by myself, saith 
the Lord, that this house shall be- 
come a desolation. 

6 For thus saith the Lord" unto 
the king's house of Judah; Thou 
art Gilead unto me, and the head 
of Lebanon: yet surely I will make 
thee d a wilderness, and cities which 
are not inhabited. 

7 And I will prepare destroyers 
against thee, every one with his 
weapons; and they shall cut down 
thy 6 choice cedars, and / cast them 
into the fire. 

8 And many nations shall pass by 
this city, and they shall say every 
man to his neighbour, 9 Wherefore 
hath the Lord done thus unto this 
great city? 

9 Then they shall answer, fl Be- 
cause they have forsaken the cove- 
nant of the Lord their God, and 
worshipped other gods, and served 
them. 

10 % Weep ye not for * the dead, 
neither bemoan him; but weep sore 
for him that goeth away: for he 
shall return no more, nor see his 
native country. 

11 For thus saith the Lord touch- 
ing Shallum i the son of Josiah 
king of Judah, which reigned in- 
stead of Josiah his father, which 
went forth out of this place, He 
shall not return thither any more: 

12 But he shall die in the place 
whither they have led him captive, 
and shall see this land no more.

13 % Woe unto him that buildeth 
his house by unrighteousness, and 
his chambers by wrong; * that useth 
his neighbour's service without 
wages, and giveth him not for his 
work; 

14 That saith, I will build me a 
wide house and 2 large chambers, 
and cutteth him out 3 windows; 
and it is deled with cedar, and 
painted with vermilion. 

15 Shalt thou reign, because thou 
closest thyself in cedar? Did not 
thy father eat and drink, and do 
judgment and justice, and l then 
it was well with him? 

16 He judged the cause of the 
poor and needy; then it was well 
with him: m was not this to know 
me? saith the Lord. 

17 But n thine eyes and thine 
heart are not but for thy covet- 
ousness, and for to shed innocent 
blood, and for oppression, and for 

4 violence, to do it. 

18 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
concerning Jehoiakim the son of 
Josiah king of Judah; They shall 
not lament for him, saying, ° Ah 
my brother! or, Ah sister! they 
shall not lament for him, saying, 
Ah lord! or, Ah his glory! 

19 He * shall be buried with the 
burial of an ass, drawn and cast 
forth beyond the gates of Jerusa- 
lem. 

20 ^ Go up to Lebanon, and cry; 
and lift up thy voice in Bashan, 
and cry from the passages: for all 
thy lovers are destroyed. 

21 I spake unto thee in thy 

5 prosperity; but thou saidst, I will 
not hear: 2 this hath been thy man- 
ner from thy youth, that thou obey- 
edst not my voice. 

22 The wind shall eat up all r thy 
pastors, and thy lovers shall go into 
captivity: surely then shalt thou 
be ashamed and confounded for 
all thy wickedness. 

23 O 6 inhabitant of Lebanon, 
that makest thy nest in the cedars, 
how gracious shalt thou be when 
pangs come upon thee, s the pain 
as of a woman in travail! 

24 As I live, saith the Lord, 
though ' Coniah the son of Jehoia- 
kim king of Judah were u the sig- 
net upon my right hand, yet would 
I pluck thee thence; 

25 And "I will give thee into the 
hand of them that seek thy life, 
and into the hand of them whose 
face thou fearest, even into the 
hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of

26 And w I will cast thee out, and 
thy mother that hare thee, into 
another country, where ye were 
not born; and tbere shall ye die. 

27 But to the land whereunto they 
7 desire to return, thither shall they 
not return. 

28 Is this man Coniah a despised 
broken idol? ishe x & vessel wherein 
is no pleasure? wherefore are they 
cast out, he and his seed, and are 
cast into a land which they know 
not? 

29 earth! earth! earth! hear the 
word of the Lord. 

30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye 
this man y childless, a man that 
shall not prosper in his days: for 
no man of his seed shall prosper, 
sitting upon the throne of David, 
and ruling any more in Judah.

1 Jeremiah propfiesies a restoration of the 
scattered Jlock. 5 Christ promised. 9 
Against false prophets. 

WOE a be unto the pastors that 
destroy and scatter the sheep 
of my pasture! saith the Lord. 

2 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel against the pastors 
that feed my people, Ye have 
scattered my flock, and driven 
them away, and have not visited 
them: b behold, I will visit upon 
you the evil of your doings, saith 
the Lord. 

3 And c I will gather the remnant 
of my flock out of all countries 
whither I have driven them, and 
will bring them again to their 
folds; and they shall be fruitful 
and increase. 

4 And I will set up shepherds 
over them which shall feed them; 
and they shall fear no more, nor 
be dismayed, neither shall they be 
lacking, saith the Lord. 

5 Behold, d the days come, saith 
the Lord, that I will raise unto 
David a righteous Branch, and a 
King shall reign and prosper, e and 
shall execute judgment and justice 
in the earth. 

6 In / his days Judah shall be 
saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: 
and * this is his name whereby he 
shall be called, 1 THE LORD OUR 
RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

7 Therefore, behold, the days 
come, saith the Lobd, that they 
shall no more say, The Lord liveth, 
which brought up the children of 
Israel out of the land of Egypt;

8 But, The Lord liveth, which 
brought up and which led the seed 
of the house of Israel, out of the 
north country, h and from all 
countries whither I had driven 
them; and they shall dwell in 
their own land. 

9 ^[ Mine heart within me is 
broken because of the prophets; 
all * my bones shake: I am like a 
drunken man, and like a man 
whom wine hath overcome, be- 
cause of the Lord, and because of 
the words of his holiness. 

10 For the land is full of adul- 
terers; for because * of 2 swearing 
the land mourneth; the pleasant 
places of the wilderness are dried 
up, and their 3 course is evil, and 
their force is not right. 

11 For * both prophet and priest 
are profane: yea, l in my house 
have I found their wickedness, 
saith the Lord. 

12 Wherefore m their way shall be 
unto them as slippery ways in the 
darkness; they shall be driven on, 
and fall therein:, for I will bring 
evil upon them, even the year of 
their visitation, saith the Lord. 

13 And I have seen 4 folly in the 
prophets of Samaria; they n pro- 
phesied in Baal, and ° caused my 
people Israel to err. 

14 1 have seen also in the prophets 
of Jerusalem 5 an horrible thing: 
they commit adultery, and walk in 
lies; they strengthen p also the 
hands of evil-doers, that none doth 
return from his wickedness: they 
are all of them unto me as 2 Sodom, 
and the inhabitants thereof as 
Gomorrah. 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts concerning the prophets; 
Behold, I will feed them with 
wormwood, and make them drink 
the water of gall: for from the pro- 
phets of Jerusalem is 6 profaneness 
gone forth into all the land. 

16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
Hearken not r unto the words of 
the prophets that prophesy unto 
you: they make you vain: they 
speak a vision of their own heart, 
and not out of the mouth of the 
Lord. 

17 They say still unto them that 
despise me, The Lord hath said, 
Ye * shall have peace; and they 
say unto every one that walketh 
after the 7 imagination of his own 
heart, * No evil shall come upon 
you. 

18 For w who hath stood in the 



Judgments threatened 



JEREMIAH, XXIV. 



against the false prophets. 



8 counsel of the Lord, and hath 
perceived and heard his word? who 
hath marked his word, and heard 
it? 

19 Behold, a • whirlwind of the 
Lord is gone forth in fury, even a 
grievous whirlwind: it shall fall 
grievously upon the head of the 
wicked. 

20 The w anger of the Lord shall 
not return, until he have executed, 
and till he have performed the 
thoughts of his heart: in x the 
latter days ye shall consider it 
perfectly. 

21 1 have not sent these prophets, 
yet they ran; I have not spoken to 
them, yet they prophesied. 

22 But if they had stood in my 
counsel, and had caused my people 
to hear my words, then they should 
have turned them from their evil 
way, and from the evil of their 
doings. 

23 Am "la God at hand, saith 
the Lord, and not a God afar off? 

24 Can any ' hide himself in 
secret places that I shall not see 
him? saith the Lord: do a not I 
fill heaven and earth? saith the 
Lord. 

25 I have h heard what the pro- 
phets said, that prophesy lies in 
my name, saying, I have dreamed, 
1 have dreamed. 

26 How long shall this be in the 
heart of the prophets that prophesy 
lies? yea, they are prophets of the 
deceit of their own heart; 

27 Which think to c cause my 
people to forget my name by their 
dreams which they tell every man 
to his neighbour, d as their fathers 
have forgotten my name for Baal. 

28 The prophet 9 that hath a 
dream, let him tell a dream; and 
he that hath my word, let him 
speak my word * faithfully. What 
is the chaff to the wheat? saith the 
Lord. 

29 Is not my word like as a fire? 
saith the Lord; and like a hammer 
that breaketh the rock in pieces? 

30 Therefore, behold, / I am 
against the prophets, saith the 
Lord, that steal my words every 
one from his neighbour. 

31 Behold, I am against the pro- 
phets, saith the Lord, 10 that use 
their tongues, and say, He saith. 

32 Behold, I am against them 
that prophesy false dreams, saith 
the Lord, and do tell them, and 
cause my people to err by their 
lies, and by 9 their lightness; yet

I sent them not, nor commanded

fit this people at all, saith the 
Lord. 

33 ^ And when this people, or 
the prophet, or a priest, shall ask 
thee, saying, What is the h burden 
of the Lord ? thou shalt then 
say unto them, What burden? I 
will even forsake you, saith the 
Lord. 

34 And as for the prophet, and 
the priest, and the people, that 
shall say, The burden of the Lord, 

1 will even u punish that man 
and his house. 

35 Thus shall ye say every one to 
his neighbour, and eveiy one to 
his brother, What hath the Lord 
answered? and, What hath the 
Lord spoken? 

36 And the burden of the Lord 
shall ye mention no more; for 
every * man's word shall be his 
burden; for ye i have perverted 
the words of the living God, of the 
Lord of hosts our God. 

37 Thus shalt thou say to the 
prophet, What hath the Lord an- 
swered thee? and, What hath the 
Lord spoken? 

38 But since ye say, The burden 
of the Lord; therefore thus saith 
the Lord ; Because ye say this 
word, The burden of the Lord, 
and I have sent unto you, saying, 
Ye shall not say, The burden of 
the Lord; 

39 Therefore, behold, 1, even I, 
will * utterly forget you, and I will 
forsake you, and the city that I 
gave you and your fathers, and cast 
you out of my presence: 

40 And I will bring l an everlast- 
ing reproach upon you, and a per- 
petual shame, which shall not be 
forgotten. 

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 By good and bad figs, 4 Vie prophet fore- 
snows tlte restoration from captivity, 8 
and the desolation of Zedekiati and the 
residue of Jerusalem. 

THE * Lord showed me, and, be- 
hold, two baskets of figs were 
set before the temple of the Lord, 
after that Nebuchadrezzar h king 
of Babylon had carried away cap- 
tive c Jeconiah the son of Jeho- 
iakim king of Judah, and the 
princes of Judah, with the car- 
penters and smiths, from Jerusa- 
lem, and had brought them to 
Babylon. 

2 One basket had very good figs, 
even like the figs that are first ripe; 



The sign of good Jigs. 



JEREMIAH, XXV. Seventy years' captivity foretold. 



and the other basket had very 
naughty figs, which could not be 
eaten, l they were so bad. 

3 Then said the Lord unto me, 
What seest thou, Jeremiah? And 
I said, Figs; the good figs, very 
good; and the evil, very evil, that 
cannot be eaten, they are so 
evil. 

4 J Again the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

5 Thus saith the Lord, the God 
of Israel; Like these good figs, 
so d will I acknowledge 2 them 
that are carried away captive of 
Judah, whom I have sent out of 
this place into the land of the 
Chaldeans for their good. 

6 For I will set mine eyes upon 
them for good, and 6 I will bring 
them again to this land: and / I 
will build them, and not pull them 
down; and I will plant them, and 
not pluck them up. 

7 And I will give them an 9 heart 
to know me, that I am the Lord: 
and they shall be my h people, and 
I will be their God: for they shall 
return unto me * with then whole 
heart. 

8 % And as the evil S figs, which 
cannot be eaten, they are so evil; 
surely thus saith the Lord, So will 
I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, 
and bis princes, and the residue of 
Jerusalem, that remain in this 
land, and them k that dwell in the 
land of Egypt; 

9 And I will deliver them 3 to be 
removed into all the kingdoms of 
the earth for their hurt, l to be a 
reproach and a proverb, a taunt 
and a curse, in all places whither 
I shall drive them. 

10 And I will send the sword, the 
famine, and the pestilence, among 
them, till they be consumed from 
off the land that I gave unto them 
and to their fathers.

Judah, even unto this day, that is 
the three and twentieth year, the 
word of the Lord hath come unto 
me, and I have spoken unto you, 
rising early and speaking; but ye 
have not hearkened. 

4 And the Lord hath sent unto 
you all his c servants the prophets, 
rising early and sending them; but 
ye have not hearkened, nor in- 
clined your ear to hear. 

5 They said, d Turn ye again now 
every one from his evil way, and 
from the evil of your doings, and 
dwell in the land that the Lord 
hath given unto you and to your 
fathers for ever and ever: 

6 And go not after other gods to 
serve them, and to worship them, 
and provoke me not to anger with 
the works of your hands; and I 
will do you no hurt. 

7 Yet ye have, not hearkened 
unto me, saith the Lord; that ye 
might 6 provoke me to anger with 
the works of your hands to your 
own hurt. 

8 f Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts; Because ye have not heard 
my words, 

9 Behold, I will send and / take 
all the families of the north, saith 
the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the 
king of Babylon, 9 my servant, and 
will bring them against this land, 
and against the inhabitants there- 
of, and against all these nations 
round about, and will utterly de- 
stroy them, and A make them an 
astonishment, and an hissing, and 
perpetual desolations. 

10 Moreover x I will take from 
them the voice * of mirth, and the 
voice of gladness, the voice of the 
bridegroom, and the voice of the 
bride, the sound of the millstones, 
and the light of the candle. 

11 And this whole land shall be a 
desolation, and an. astonishment; 
and these nations shall serve the 
king of Babylon seventy years. 

12 | And i it shall come to pass, 
when 2 seventy years are accom- 
plished, that I will 3 punish the king 
of Babylon, and that nation, saith 
the Lord, for their iniquity, and 
the land of the Chaldeans, k and 
will make it perpetual desolations. 

13 And I will bring upon that 
land all my words which I have 
pronounced against it, even all that 
is written in this book, which Jere- 
miah hath prophesied against all 
the nations. 

14 For many nations l and great

kings shall m serve themselves of 
them also: and n I will recompense 
them according to their deeds, and 
according to the works of their 
own hands. 

15 % For thus saith the Lord God 
of Israel unto me; Take the ° wine- 
cup of this fury at my hand, and 
cause all the nations, to whom I 
send thee, to drink it. 

16 And p they shall drink, and be 
moved, and be mad, because of 
the sword that I will send among 
them. 

17 Then took I the cup at the 
Lord's hand, and made all the 
nations to drink, unto whom the 
Lord had sent me: 

18 To wit, q Jerusalem, and the 
cities of Judah, and the kings 
thereof, and the princes thereof, 
to make them a desolation, an 
astonishment, an hissing, and a 
curse; as it is this day; 

19 Pharaoh r king of Egypt, and

20 And all the mingled people, 
and all the kings of * the land of 
Uz, and all the kings of the land 
of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, 
and Azzah, and Ekron, and * the 
remnant of Ashdod, 

21 Edom, and Moab, and the

22 And all the kings of Tyrus,

kings of the 4 isles which are be- 
yond the sea, 

23 Dedan, andTema, and Buz, and 
all 6 that are in the utmost corners, 

24 And M all the kings of Arabia, 
and all the kings of the " mingled 
people that dwell in the desert, 

25 And all the kings of Zimri, 
and all the kings of Elam, and all 
the kings of the Medes, 

26 And all the kings of the north, 
far and near, one with another, 
and all the kingdoms of the world, 
which are upon the face of the 
earth: w and the king of Sheshach 
shall drink after them. 

27 Therefore thou shalt say unto 
them, Thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel, x Drink ye, 
and be drunken, and spue, and 
fall, and rise no more, because of 
the sword which I will send among 
you. 

28 And it shall be, if they refuse 
to take the cup at thine hand to 
drink, then shalt thou say unto 
them, Thus saith the Lord of

Behold, evil shall go forth from

33 And 6 the slain of the Lord

35 And 9 the shepherds shall have 
no way to flee, nor the principal of 
the flock to escape. 

36 A voice of the cry of the shep- 
herds, and an howling of the prin- 
cipal of the flock, shall be heard; 
for the Lord hath spoiled their 
pasture. 

37 And the peaceable habitations

as the lion: for their land is 10 deso- 
late because of the fierceness of the 
oppressor, and because of his tierce 
anger. 

CHAPTER XXYI. 

1 Jeremiah exhorts to repentance: 8 he is 
apprehended, 10 and arraigned: 16 he is 
acquitted in judgment. 

IN the beginning of the reign of 
Jehoiaklm the son of Josiah 
king of Judah came this word 
from the Lord, saying, 
2 Thus saith the Lord, Stand in

the a court of the Lord's house, 
and speak unto all the cities of 
Judah, which 6 come to worship 
in the Lord's house, c all the words 
that I command thee to speak 
unto them; diminish d not a word: 

3 If 6 so be they will hearken, and 
turn every man from his evil way, 
that I may t repent me of the evil 
which I purpose to do unto them, 
because of the evil of their doings. 

4 And thou shalt say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord; 9 If ye will 
not hearken to me, to walk in my 
law, which I have set before you, 

5 To hearken to the words of my 
servants the prophets, A whom I 
sent unto you, both rising up early, 
and sending them, but ye have not 
hearkened; 

6 Then will I make this house 
like * Shiloh, and will make this 
city S a curse to all the nations of 
the earth. 

7 So the priests and the prophets 
and all the people heard Jeremiah 
speaking these words in the house 
of the Lord. 

8 ^ Now it came to pass, when 
Jeremiah had made an end of 
speaking all that the Lord had 
commanded him to speak unto all 
the people, that * the priests and 
the prophets and all the people 
took him, saying, Thou shalt surely 
die. 

9 Why hast thou prophesied in 
the name of the Lord, saying, This 
house shall be like Shiloh, and this 
city shall be desolate without an 
inhabitant? And all the people 
were gathered against Jeremiah in 
the house of the Lord. 

10 U When the princes of Judah 
heard these things, then they came 
up from the king's house unto the 
house of the Lord, and sat down 
1 in the entry of the * new gate of 
the Lord's house. 

11 Then spake the priests and 
the prophets unto the princes, and 
to all the people, saying, 2 This 
man is worthy to die; "' for he 
hath prophesied against this city, 
as ye have heard with your ears. 

12 % Then spake Jeremiah unto 
all the princes, and to all the peo- 
ple, saying, The Lord sent me to 
prophesy against this house and 
against this city all the words that 
ye have heard. 

13 Therefore now n amend your 
ways and your doings, and obey 
the voice of the Lord your God; 
and the Lord will repent him of

the evil that he hath pronounced 
against you. 

14 As for me, behold, ° I am in 
your hand: do with me 3 as seem- 
eth good and meet unto you: 

15 But know ye for certain, that, 
if ye put me to death, ye shall 
surely bring innocent blood upon 
yourselves, and upon this city, and 
upon the inhabitants thereof: for 
of a truth the Lord hath sent me 
unto you to speak all these words 
in your ears. 

16 ^f Then said the princes and 
all the people unto the priests and 
to the prophets; This man is not 
worthy to die: for he hath spoken 
to us in the name of the Lord our 
God. 

17 Then p rose up certain of the 
elders of the land, and spake to all 
the assembly of the people, saying, 

18 Micah q the Morasthite pro- 
phesied in the days of Hezekiah 
king of Judah, and spake to all 
the people of Judah, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord of hosts, r Zion 
shall be plowed like a field, and 
Jerusalem shall become heaps, and 
the mountain of the house as the 
high places of a forest. 

19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah 
and all Judah put him at all to 
death? * did he not fear the Lord, 
and besought i the Lord, and the 
Lord * repented him of the evil 
which he had pronounced against 
them? M Thus might we procure 
great evil against our souls. 

20 And there was also a man 
that prophesied in the name of 
the Lord, Urijah the son of Shem- 
aiah of Kirjath-jearim, who pro- 
phesied against this city and 
against this land according to all 
the words of Jeremiah: 

21 And when Jehoiakim the 
king, with all his mighty men, 
and all the princes, heard his 
words, the v king sought to put 
him to death: but when Urijah 
heard it, he was afraid, and w fled, 
and went into Egypt. 

22 And Jehoiakim the x king sent 
men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan 
the son of Achbor, and certain men 
with him into Egypt: 

23 And they fetched forth Urijah 
out of Egypt, and brought him 
unto Jehoiakim the king; y who 
slew him with the sword, and cast 
his dead body into the graves of 
the 5 common people. 

24 Nevertheless * the hand of 
Ahikam the son of Shaphan was

with Jeremiah, that they should 
not give him into the hand of the 
people to put him to death. 
CHAPTER XXVIL 

Under the type of bonds and yokes, Jere- 
miah prophesies the subjection of the 
neighbour kings unto Nebuchadnezzar. 

IN the beginning of the reign of 
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah 
king a of Judah came this word 
unto Jeremiah from the Lord, 
saying, 

2 Thus x saith the Lord to me; 
Make thee bonds and yokes, i and 
put them upon thy neck, 

3 And send them to the king of 
Edom, and to the king of Moab, 
and to the king of the Ammonites, 
and to the king of Tyrus, and to 
the king of Zidon, by the hand of 
the messengers which come to 
Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of 
Judah; 

4 And command them 2 to say 
unto their masters, Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; 
Thus shall ye say unto your mas- 
ters; 

5 I c have made the earth, the man 
and the beast that are upon the 
ground, by my great power and by 
my outstretched arm, and d have 
given it unto whom it seemed 
meet unto me. 

6 And c now have I given all 
these lands into the hand of Ne- 
buchadnezzar the king of Babylon, 
my 1 servant; and 9 the beasts of 
the field have I given him also to 
serve him. 

7 And h all nations shall serve 
him, and his son, and his son's 
son, » until the very time of his 
land come; and then many nations 
and great kings shall serve them- 
selves of him. 

8 And it shall coine to pass, that 
the nation and kingdom which 
will not serve the same Nebuchad- 
nezzar the king of Babylon, and 
that will not pui their neck under 
the yoke of the king of Babylon, 
that nation will I 3 punish, saith 
the Lord, with the sword, and 
with the famine, and "with the 
pestilence, until I have consumed 
them by his hand. 

9 Therefore •>' hearken not ye to 
your prophets, nor to your di- 
viners, nor to your i dreamers, nor 
to your enchanters, nor to your 
sorcerers, which speak unto you, 
Baying, Ye shall not serve the king 
of Babylon:

you, to remove you far from your 
land; and that I should drive you 
out, and ye should perish. 

11 But the nations that bring 
their neck under the yoke of the 
king of Babylon, and serve him, 
those will I let remain still in their 
own land, saith the Lord; and 
they shall till it, and dwell there- 
in. 

12 U I spake also to s Zedekiah 
king of Judah according to all 
these words, saying, Bring your 
necks under the yoke of the king 
of Babylon, and serve him and his 
people, and live. 

13 Why * will ye die, thou and 
thy people, by the sword, by the 
famine, and by the pestilence, as 
the Lord hath spoken against the 
nation that will not serve the king 
of Babylon? 

14 Therefore hearken not unto 
the words of the prophets that 
speak unto you, saying, Ye shall 
not serve the king of Babylon: for 
they prophesy m a he unto you. 

15 For I have not sent them, 
saith the Lord, yet they prophesy 
5 a he in my name; that I might 
drive you out, and that ye might 
perish, ye, and the prophets that 
prophesy unto you. 

16 Also I spake to the priests, and 
to all this people, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord; Hearken not to 
the words of your prophets that 
prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, 
the n vessels of the Lord's house 
shall now shortly be brought again 
from Babylon: for they prophesy a 
lie unto you. 

17 Hearken not unto them; serve 
the king of Babylon, and live: 
wherefore ° should this city be 
laid waste? 

18 But if they be prophets, and if 
the word of the Lord be with 
them, let them now p make inter- 
cession to the Lord of hosts, that 
the vessels which are left in the 
house of the Lord, and in the 
house of the king of Judah, and at 
Jerusalem, go not to Babylon. 

19 1f For thus saith the Lord of 
hosts concerning 8 the pillars, and 
concerning the sea, and concerning 
the bases, and concerning the 
residue of the vessels that remain 
in this city, 

20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king 
of Babylon took not, when he car- 
ried away r captive Jeconiah the 
son of Jehoiakim king of Judah 
from Jerusalem to Babylon, and

all the 6 nobles of Judah and Jeru- 
salem; 

21 Yea, thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel, concerning 
the vessels that remain * in the 
house of the Lord, and in the 
house of the king of Judah and 
of Jerusalem; 

22 They shall be carried to Baby- 
lon, and there shall they be until 
the day that I visit ' them, saith 
the Lord: then M will I bring them 
up, and restore them to this place. 

CHAPTER XXVIH. 

1 Hananiah's false prophecy: 10 he breaks 
Jeremiah's yoke. 12 Jeremiah foretells 
of an iron yoke, 15 and Hananiah's 
death. 

AND ° it came to pass the same 
year, in the beginning of the 
reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, 
in the fourth year, and in the fifth 
month, that l Hananiah the son 
of Azur the prophet, which was of 
Gibeon, spake unto me in the house 
of the Lord, in the presence of the 
priests, and of all the people, say- 
ing, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I 
have broken c the yoke of the king 
of Babylon. 

3 Within l two full years will I 
bring again into this place d all the 
vessels of the Lord's house that 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
took away from this place, and 
carried them to Babylon: 

4 And I will bring again to this 
place Jeconiah the son of 2 Jehoi- 
akim king of Judah, with all the 
3 captives of Judah, that went into 
Babylon, saith the Lord: for I will 
break the yoke of the king of 
Babylon.

prophesied both against many 
countries, and against great king- 
doms, of war, and of evil, and of 
pestilence. 

9 The /prophet which prophesietn 
of peace, when the word of the 
prophet shall come to pass, then 
shall the prophet be known, that 
the Lord hath truly sent him. 

10 If Then Hananiah the prophet 
took the yoke 9 from off the pro- 
phet Jeremiah's neck, and brake 
it. 

11 And Hananiah spake in the 
presence of all the people, saying, 
Thus saith the Lord; Even so will 

1 break the yoke of Nebuchad- 
nezzar king of Babylon h from the 
neck of all nations within the 
space of two full years. And the 
prophet Jeremiah went * his way. 

12 1f Then the word of the Lord 
came unto Jeremiah the prophet, 
(after that Hananiah the prophet 
had broken the yoke from off the 
neck of the prophet Jeremiah,) 
saying, 

13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, 
Thus saith the Lord, Thou hast 
broken the yokes of wood; but 
thou shalt make for them yokes of 
iron. 

14 For thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel; * I have 
put a yoke of iron upon the neck 
of all these nations, that they may 
serve Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon; and they shall serve 
him: and I * have given him the 
beasts of the field also. 

15 ^| Then said the prophet Jere- 
miah unto Hananiah the prophet, 
Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord 
hath not sent thee; but l thou 
makest this people to trust in a 
He. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; 
Behold, I will cast thee from off 
the face of the earth : this year 
thou shalt die, because thou hast 
taught 4 rebellion against the 
Lord. 

17 So Hananiah the prophet died 
the m same year, in the seventh 
month.

to all the people whom Nebuchad- 
nezzar had carried away captive 
from Jerusalem to Babylon, 

2 (After that x Jeconiah the king, 
and the queen, and the 2 eunuchs, 
the princes of Judah and Jerusa- 
lem, and the carpenters, and the 
smiths, were departed from Jeru- 
salem,) 

3 By the hand of Elasah the son 
of Shaphan, andGemariah the son 
of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king 
of Judah sent unto Babylon to 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,) 
saying, 

4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel unto all that are 
carried away captives, whom I 
have caused to be carried away 
from Jerusalem unto Babylon; 

5 Build ye houses, and dwell in 
them; and plant gardens, and eat 
the fruit of them; 

6 Take ye wives, and beget sons 
and daughters; and take wives for 
your sons, and give your daughters 
to husbands, that they may bear 
sons and daughters; that ye may 
be increased there, and not dimin- 
ished. 

7 And a seek the peace of the 
city whither I have caused you to 
be carried away captives, b and 
pray unto the Lord for it: for in 
the peace thereof shall ye have 
peace. 

8 % For thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel; Let not 
your prophets and your diviners, 
that be in the midst of you, c de- 
ceive you, neither hearken to your 
dreams which ye cause to be 
dreamed. 

9 For they prophesy 3 falsely unto 
you in my name: I have not sent 
them, saith the Lord. 

10 H For thus saith the Lord, 
That after seventy d years be 
accomplished at Babylon I will 
visit you, and perforin my good 
word toward you, in causing you 
to return to this place. 

11 For I know the thoughts that 
1 think toward you, saith the 
Lord, thoughts of peace, and not 
of evil, to give you an 4 expected 
end. 

12 Then shall ye e call upon me, 
and ye shall go and pray unto me, 
and I will hearken unto you. 

13 And / ye shall seek me, and 
find me, when ye shall search for 
me 9 with all your heart. 

14 And h I will be found of you, 
saith the Lord: and I will turn

away your captivity, and * I will 
gather you from all the nations, 
and from all the places whither I 
have driven you, saith the Lord; 
and I will bring you again into 
the place whence 1 caused you to 
be carried away captive. 

15 ^f Because ye have said, The 
Lord hath raised us up prophets in 
Babylon; 

16 Know that thus saith the Lord 
of the king that sitteth upon the 
throne of David, and of all the 
people that dwelleth in this city, 
and of your brethren that are not 
gone forth with you into captivity; 

17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
Behold, I will send upon them >" the 
sword, the famine, and the pesti- 
lence, and will make them * like 
vile figs, that cannot be eaten, 
they are so eviL 

18 And I will persecute them 
with the sword, with the famine, 
and with the pestilence, and l will 
deliver them to be removed to all 
the kingdoms of the earth, 5 to be 
a curse, and an astonishment, and 
an hissing, and a reproach, among 
all the nations whither I have 
driven them; 

19 Because they have not heark- 
ened to my words, saith the Lord, 
which m I sent unto them by my 
servants the prophets, rising up 
early and sending them; but ye 
would not hear, saith the Lord. 

20 If Hear ye therefore the word 
of the Lord, all ye of the captivity, 
whom n I have sent from Jerusa- 
lem to Babylon: 

21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, of Ahab the son 
of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the 
son of Maaseiah, which prophesy 
a ° lie unto you in my name; Be- 
hold, I will deliver them into the 
hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of 
Babylon, and he shall slay them 
before your eyes; 

22 And v of them shall be taken 
up a curse by all the captivity of 
Judah which are in Babylon, say- 
ing, The Lord make thee like 
Zedekiah, and like Ahab, 2 whom 
the king of Babylon roasted in the 
fire; 

23 Because r they have committed 
villany in Israel, and have com- 
mitted adultery with their neigh- 
bours' wives, and have spoken 
lying words in my name, which I 
have not commanded them; even 
I know, and am e a witness, saith 
the Lord.

24 % Thus shalt thou also speak to 
Shemaiahthe 6 Nehelamite, saying, 

25 Thus speaketh the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 
Because thou hast sent letters in 
thy name unto all the people that 
are at Jerusalem, ' and to Zephan- 
iah the son of Maaseiah the priest, 
and to all the priests, saying, 

26 The Lord hath made thee 
priest in the stead of Jehoiada the 
priest, that ye should be M officers 
in the house of the Lord, for every 
man that is v mad, and maketh 
himself a prophet, that thou 
shouldest w put him in prison, and 
in the stocks. 

27 Now therefore why hast thou 
not x reproved Jeremiah of Ana- 
thoth, which maketh himself a 
prophet to you? 

28 For therefore he sent unto us 
in Babylon, saying, This captivity 
is long: build ye houses, and dwell 
in them; and plant gardens, and 
eat the fruit of them. 

29 And Zephaniah the priest read 
this letter in the ears of Jeremiah 
the prophet. 

30 % Then came the word of the 
Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, 

31 Send to all them of the cap- 
tivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord 
concerning Shemaiah the Nehe- 
lamite; Because that Shemaiah 
hath prophesied unto you, y and 

1 sent him not, and he caused you 
to trust in a lie; 

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 
Behold, I will punish * Shemaiah 
the Nehelamite, and his seed: he 
shall not have a man to dwell 
among this people; neither shall 
he behold the good that I will do 
for my people, saith the Lord; be- 
cause a he hath taught 7 rebellion 
against the Lord.

the Lord spake concerning Israel, 
and concerning Judah. 

5 For thus saith the Lord; We 
have heard a voice of trembling, 

1 of fear, and not of peace. 

6 Ask ye now, and see whether 

2 a man doth travail with child? 
wherefore do I see every man with 
his hands on his loins, as a woman 
in travail, and all faces are turned 
into paleness? 

7 Alas! d for that day is great, ' so 
that none is like it: it is even the 
time of Jacob's trouble. But he 
shall be saved out of it. 

8 For it shall come to pass in 
that day, saith the Lord of hosts, 
that I will break his yoke from off 
thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, 
and strangers shall no more serve 
themselves of him: 

9 But they shall serve the Lord 
their God, and / David their king, 
whom I will 9 raise up unto them. 

10 Therefore h fear thou not, O 
my seivant Jacob, saith the Lord; 
neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, 
lo, I will save thee from afar, and 
thy seed from the land of their 
captivity; and Jacob shall return, 
and shall be in rest, and be quiet, 
and none shall make him afraid. 

11 For I am with thee, saith the 
Lord, to save thee: » though I 
make a full end of all nations 
whither I have scattered thee, yet 

| will .7 1 not make a full end of thee; 
but I will correct thee in * meas- 
ure, and will not leave thee alto- 
gether unpunished. 

12 For thus saith the Lord, l Thy 
bruise is incurable, and thy wound 
is grievous. 

13 There is none to plead thy 
cause, 3 that thou mayest be bound 
up: thou hast no healing medi- 
cines. 

14 All" 1 thy lovers have forgotten 
thee; they seek thee not: for 1 have 
wounded thee with the wound " of 
an enemy, with the ° chastisement 
of a cruel one, for the multitude of 
thine iniquity; p became thy sins 
were increased. 

15 Why criest thou for thine 
affliction? thy sorrow is incurable 
for the multitude of thine iniquity: 
because thy sins were increased, 
I have done these things unto 
thee. 

16 4 Therefore all they that devour 
thee shall q be devoured; and all 
thine adversaries, every one of 
them, shall go into captivity; and 
they that spoil thee shall be a spoil,

and all that prey upon thee will I 
give for a prey. 

17 For I will restore r health unto 
thee, and I -will heal thee of thy 
wounds, saith the Lord; because 
they called thee an Outcast, saying, 
This is Zion, whom no man seek- 
eth after. 

18 % Thus saith the Lord; Be- 
hold, I will bring again the cap- 
tivity of Jacob's tents, and s have 
mercy on his dwelling places; and 
the city shall be builded upon 
her own 5 heap, and the palace 
shall remain after the manner 
thereof. 

19 And * out of them shall 
proceed thanksgiving and the 
voice of them that make merry: 
and u I will multiply them, and 
they shall not be few; I will also 
glorify them, and they shall not be 
smalL 

20 Their children also shall " be 
as aforetime, and their congrega- 
tion shall be established before me, 
and I will punish all that oppress 
them. 

21 And 6 their nobles shall be of 
themselves, w and their governor 
shall proceed from the midst of 
them; and I will x cause him to 
draw near, and he shall approach 
unto me: for who is this that en- 
gaged his heart to approach unto 
me? saith the Lord. 

22 And ye shall be y my people, 
and I will be your God. 

23 % Behold, the z whirlwind of 
the Lord goeth forth with fury, a 

7 continuing whirlwind: it shall 

8 fall with pain upon the head of 
the wicked. 

24 The fierce anger of the Lord 
shall not return, until he have 
done it, and until he have per- 
formed the intents of his heart: in 
the latter days ye shall consider it.

4 Again I will build thee, and

forth in the dances of them that 
make merry. 

5 Thou d shalt yet plant vines

6 For there shall be a day, that

Ephraim shall cry, Arise e ye, and 
let us go up to Zion unto the Lord 
our God. 

7 For thus saith the Lord; / Sing 
with gladness for Jacob, and shout

publish ye, praise ye, and say, O 
Lord, save thy people, the rem- 
nant of IsraeL 

8 Behold, I will bring them from

9 They h shall come with weeping,

them: I will cause them to * walk 
by the rivers of waters in a straight 
way, wherein they shall not 
stumble; for I am a father to 
Israel, and Ephraim is >' my first-

10 % Hear the word of the Lord, 
O ye nations, and declare it in the 
isles afar off, and say, He that 
scattered Israel k will gather him, 
and keep him, as a shepherd doth

11 For ' the Lord hath redeemed 
Jacob, and ransomed him m from 
the hand of him that was stronger 
than he. 

12 Therefore they shall come and 
sing in the height of Zion, and 
shall flow together to n the good-

for the young of the flock and 
of the herd; and their soul shall 
be as a ° watered garden: p and

14 And I will satiate the soul of

people shall be satisfied with my 
goodness, saith the Lord. 

15 1[ Thus saith tbe Lord, q A 
voice was heard in r Eamah, lam- 
entation, and bitter weeping; Ra- 
chel weeping for her children, 
refused to be comforted for her 
children, s because they were not. 

16 Thus saith the Lord, Refrain 
thy voice from weeping, and thine 
eyes from tears: for thy work shall 
be rewarded, saith the Lord; ' and 
they shall come again from the 
land of the enemy. 

17 And there is hope in thine

dren shall come again to their own 
border. 

18 ^[ I have surely heard Ephraim 
bemoaning himself thus; Thou 
hast chastised me, and I was chas- 
tised, as a bullock unaccustomed 
to the yoke: w turn thou me, and I 
shall be turned; for thou art the 
Lord my God. 

19 Surely v after that I was turned, 
I repented; and after that I was 
instructed, I smote upon my thigh: 
I was ashamed, yea, even con- 
founded, because I did bear the 
reproach of my youth. 

20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he 
a pleasant child? for since I spake 
against him, I do earnestly remem- 
ber him still: w therefore my bowels 
6 are troubled for him: x I will 
surely have mercy upon him, saith 
the Lord. 

21 Set thee up way-marks, make 
thee high heaps: v set thine heart 
toward the highway, even the way 
which thou wentest: turn again, O 
virgin of Israel, turn again to these 
thy cities. 

22 1f How long wilt z thou go 
about, thou backsliding "daugh- 
ter? for the Lord hath created a 
new thing in the earth, A woman 
shall compass a man. 

23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, As yet they shall 
use this speech in the land of Ju- 
dah, and in the cities thereof, when 
I shall bring again their captivity; 
The h Lord bless thee, habita- 
tion of justice, and e mountain of 
holiness. 

24 And there shall dwell in Judah 
itself, and d in all the cities thereof 
together, husbandmen, and they 
that go forth with flocks.

25 For I have satiated the weary 
soul, and I have replenished every 
sorrowful soul. 

26 Upon this I awaked, and be- 
held; and my sleep was sweet unto 
me. 

27 If Behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, that e I will sow the 
house of Israel and the house of 
Judah with the seed of man, and 
with the seed of beast. 

28 And it shall come to pass, that 
like as I have-'' watched over them, 
to ?. pluck up, and to break down, 
and to throw down, and to de- 
stroy, and to afflict; so will I watch 
over them, A to build, and to plant, 
saith the Lord. 

29 In * those days they shall say 
no more, The fathers have eaten a 
sour grape, and the children's teeth 
are set on edge. 

30 But 3 every one shall die for 
his own iniquity: every man that 
eateth the sour grape, his teeth 
shall be set on edge. 

31 Tf Behold, k the days come, 
saith the Lord, that I will make a 
new covenant with the house of 
Israel, and with the house of 
Judah; 

32 Not l according to the cove- 
nant that I made with their 
fathers, in the day that I m took 
them by the hand, to bring them 
out of the land of Egypt; which 
my covenant they brake, 7 although 
I was an husband unto them, saith 
the Lord; 

33 But n this shall be the covenant 
that I will make with the house of 
Israel; After those days, saith the 
Lord, ° I will put my law in their 
inward parts, and write it in their 
hearts; p and will be their God, 
and they shall be my people. 

34 And they shall teach no more 
every man his neighbour, and 
every man his brother, saying, 
Know the Lord: for q they shall ail 
know me, from the least of them 
unto the greatest of them, saith 
the Lord: for r I will forgive their 
iniquity, and I will remember their 
sin no more.

giveth the sun for a light by day, 
and the ordinances of the moon, 
and of the stars for a light by night, 
which divideth * the sea when the 
waves thereof roar; u The Lord of 
hosts is his name:

then the seed of Israel also shall

37 Thus saith the Lord, w H 
heaven above can be measured, 
and the foundations of the earth 
searched out beneath, I will also 
cast off all the seed of Israel for all 
that they have done, saith the 
Lord. 

38 fl Behold, the days come, saith 
the Loed, that the city shall be 
built to the Lokd, x from the tower 
of Hananeel unto the gate of the 
corner. 

39 And v the measuring line shall 
yet go forth over against it upon 
the hill Gareb, and shall compass 
about to Goath. 

40 And the whole valley of the 
dead bodies, and of the ashes, and 
all the fields unto the brook of Kid- 
ron, z unto the corner of the horse 
gate toward the east, a shall be holy 
unto the Lord; it shall not be 
plucked up, nor thrown down, any 
more for ever. 

CHAPTER XXXH. 

1 Jeremiah's imprisonment: 16 Ms com- 
plaint to God. 26 The captivity con- 
firmed. 'c6 Promise of a gracious 
return. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah 
from the Lokd a in the tenth 
year of Zedekiah king of Judah, 
which was the eighteenth year of 
Nebuchadrezzar. 

2 For then the king of Babylon's 
army besieged Jerusalem: and 
Jeremiah the prophet was shut up 
in 6 the court of the prison, which 
was in the king of Judah's house. 

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah 
had shut him up, saying, Where- 
fore dost thou prophesy, and say, 
Thus saith the Lord, c Behold, 1 
will give this city into the hand of 
the king of Babylon, and he shall 
take it; 

4 And Zedekiah king of Judah 
shall d not escape out of the hand 
of the Chaldeans, but shall surely 
be delivered into the hand of the 
king of Babylon, and shall speak 
with him mouth to mouth, and 
his eyes shall behold his eyes; 

5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to 
Babylon, and there shall he be 
until e I visit him, saith the Lord: 
though / ye fight with the Chal- 
deans, ye shall not prosper. 

6 % And Jeremiah said, The word 
of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

7 Behold, Hanameel the son of 
Shallum thine uncle, shall come 
unto thee, saying, Buy thee my

[ field that is in Anathoth; for 9 the 
right of redemption is thine to buy 
it. 

8 So Hanameel, mine uncle's son, 
came to me in the court of the 
prison, according to the word of 
the Lord, and said unto me, Buy 
my field, I pray thee, that is h in 
Anathoth, which is in the country 
of Benjamin : for the right of 
inheritance is thine, and * the 
redemption is thine; buy it for 
thyself. Then I knew that this 
was the word of the Lord. 

9 And I bought the field of Han- 
ameel, my uncle's son, that was 
in Anathoth, and weighed i him 
the money, even 1 seventeen shekels 
of silver. 

10 And I 2 subscribed the evi- 
dence, and sealed it, and k took 
witnesses, and weighed him the 
money in the balances. 

31 So I took the evidence of the 
purchase, both that which was 
sealed according to the law and 
custom, and that which was open: 

12 And I gave the evidence of 
the purchase unto l Baruch the son 
of JSeriah, the son of Maaseiah, in 
the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's 
son, and in the presence of m the 
witnesses that subscribed the book 
of the purchase, before all the Jews 
that sat in the court of the prison. 

13 % And I charged Baruch before 
them, saying, 

14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel; Take these evi- 
dences, this evidence of the pur- 
chase, both which is sealed, and 
this evidence which is open, and 
put them in an earthen vessel, 
that they may continue many 
days: 

15 For thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel Houses 
and fields and vineyards shall be 
possessed again in this land. 

16 U Now when I had delivered 
the evidence of the purchase unto 
Baruch the son of Neriah, n I 
prayed unto the Lord, saying, 

17 Ah Lord God! behold, ° thou 
hast made the heaven and the 
earth by thy great power and 
stretched-out arm, and there p is 
nothing 3 too hard for thee; 

18 Thou showest 2 loving-kind- 
ness unto thousands, and recom- ! 
pensest the iniquity of the fathers 
into the bosom of their children 
after them: The Great, r the Mighty ' 
God, s the Lord of hosts, is h& 
name: 



The captivity confirmed JEREMIAH, XXXII. A gracious return promised. 



19 Great * in counsel, and mighty 
ia 4 work: for thine w eyes are open 
upon all the ways of the sons of 
men: * to give every one according 
to his ways, and according to the 
fruit of his doings: 

20 Which hast set signs and won- 
ders in the land of Egypt, even unto 
this day, and in Israel, and among 
other men; and hast made thee w a 
name, as at this day; 

21 And * hast brought forth thy 
people Israel out of the land of 
Egypt with signs, and with won- 
ders, and with a strong hand, and 
with a stretched-out arm, and 
with great terror; 

22 And hast given them this land, 
which thou didst swear to their 
fathers to give them, y a land 
flowing with milk and honey; 

23 And they came in, and pos- 
sessed it; but " they obeyed not 
thy voice, neither walked in thy 
law: they have done nothing of 
all that thou commandedst them 
to do: therefore thou hast caused 
all this evil to come upon 
them. 

24 Behold the 5 mounts, they are 
come unto the city to take it; and 
the city is given into the hand of 
the Chaldeans that fight against it, 
because of a the sword, and of the 
famine, and of the pestilence: and 
what thou hast spoken 6 ia come 
to pass; and, behold, thou seest 
it. 

25 And thou hast said unto me, 
O Lord God, Buy thee the field 
for money, and take witnesses; 6 for 
the city is given into the hand 
of the Chaldeans. 

26 ^f Then came the word of the 
Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, 

27 Behold, I am the Lord, c the 
God of all flesh: is d there any 
thing too hard for me? 

28 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 
Behold, I will give this city into 
the hand of the Chaldeans, and 
into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon, and he shall take 
it. 

29 And the Chaldeans, that fight 
against this city, shall come 6 and 
set fire on this city, and burn it 
with the houses / upon whose 
roofs they have offered incense 
unto Baal and poured out drink 
offerings unto other gods, to pro- 
voke me to anger. 

30 For the children of Israel and 
the children of Judah 9 have only 
done evil before me from their

youth: for the children of Israel 
have only provoked me to anger 
with the work of their hands, 
saith the Lord. 

31 For ft this city hath been to 
me as 7 a provocation of mine 
anger and of my fury from the 
day that they built it even unto 
this day; » that I should remove 
it from before my face, 

32 Because of all the evil of the 
children of Israel, and of the chil- 
dren of Judah, which they have 
done to provoke me to anger, 
they, t their kings, their princes, 
their priests, and their prophets, 
and the men of Judah, and the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

33 And they have turned unto 
me the 8 back, and not the face: 
though I taught them, k rising up 
early and teaching them, yet they 
have not hearkened to receive 
instruction. 

34 But they l set their abomina- 
tions in the house which is called 
by my name, to defile it. 

35 And they built the high places 
of Baal, which are in the valley of 
the son of Hinnom, to m cause 
their sons and their daughters to 
pass through the fire n unto Molech; 
which I commanded them not, 
neither came it into my mind, that 
they should do this abomination, 
to cause Judah to sin. 

36 % And now therefore thus saith 
the Lord, the God of Israel, con- 
cerning this city, whereof ye say, 
It shall be delivered into the hand 
of the king of Babylon, by the 
sword, and by the famine, and by 
the pestilence; 

37 Behold, I will ° gather them 
out of all countries whither I have 
driven them in mine anger, and in 
my fury, and in great wrath; and 
I will bring them again unto this 
place, and I will cause them p to 
dwell safely: 

38 And they shall be q my people, 
and I will be their God: 

39 And I will r give them one 
heart, and one way, that they 
may fear me 9 for ever, for the 
good of them, and of their children 
after them: 

40 And s I will make an ever- 
lasting covenant with them, that 
I will not turn away 10 from them, 
to do them good; but c I will put 
my fear in their hearts, that they 
shall not depart from me. 

41 Yea, M I will rejoice over them 
to do them good, and v I will plant 



Restoration of Israel.

them in this land u assuredly with 
my whole heart and with my whole 
soul. 

42 For thus saith the Lord, w Like 
as I have brought all this great 
evil upon this people, so will I 
bring upon them all the good that 
I have promised them. 

43 And fields shall be bought in 
this land, whereof * ye say, It is 
desolate without man or beast; it 
is given into the hand of the 
Chaldeans. 

44 Men shall buy fields for money, 
and subscribe evidences, and seal 
t hem, and take witnesses in y the 
land of Benjamin, and in the 
places about Jerusalem, and in 
the cities of Judah, and in the 
cities of the mountains, and in the 
cities of the valley, and in the 
cities of the south: for z l will 
cause their captivity to return, 
saith the Lord. 

CHAPTER XXXIII. 

1 A gracious return promised. 15 Christ 
the Branch of righteousness promised. 

MOREOVER the word of the 
Lord came unto Jeremiah 
the second time, while he was yet 
shut ° up in the court of the prison, 
saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, 6 the 
maker thereof, the Lord that 
formed it, to establish it; x The 
Lord is his name; 

3 Call c unto me, and I will an- 
swer thee, and show thee great 
and 2 mighty things, which thou 
knowest not. 

4 For thus saith the Lord, the 
God of Israel, concerning the 
houses of this city, and concerning 
the houses of the kings of Judah, 
which are thrown down by d the 
mounts, and by the sword; 

5 They come to fight with the 
Chaldeans, but it is to fill them 
with the dead bodies of men, 
whom I have slain in mine anger, 
and in my fury, and for all whose 
wickedness I have hid my face 
from this city. 

6 Behold, 6 1 will bring it health 
and cure, and I will cure them, 
and will reveal unto them the 
abundance of peace and truth. 

7 And / 1 will cause the captivity 
of Judah, and the captivity of 
Israel, to return, and will build 
them, 9 as at the first. 

8 And I will h cleanse them from 
•all their iniquity, whereby they 
have sinned against me; and I will 
pardon » all their iniquities, where-

shall bring n the sacrifice of praise 
into the house of the Lord. For 
I will cause to return the captivity 
of the land, as at the first, saith 
the Lord.

Again ° in this place, which is 
desolate without man and without 
beast, and in all the cities thereof, 
shall be an habitation of shepherds 
causing their flocks to lie down.

the house of Judah. 

15 If In those days, and at that 
time, will I cause the ' Branch of 
righteousness to grow up unto 
David; and he shall execute judg- 
ment and righteousness in the 
land. 

16 In u those days shall Judah be 
saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell 
safely: and 3 Chis is the name where- 
with she shall be called, The Lord 
our Righteousness. 

17 If For thus saith the Lord, 
4 David shall never want a man to 
sit upon the throne of the house of 
Israel; 

18 Neither shall the priests the 



Jeremiah prophesies 



JEREMIAH, XXXIV. the destruction of Jerusalem. 



Levites want a man before me to 
offer " burnt offerings, and to kin- 
dle meat offerings, and to do sacri- 
fice continually. 

19 If And the word of the Lord 
came unto Jeremiah, saying, 

20 Thus saith the Lord, w If ye 
can break my covenant of the 
day, and my covenant of the 
night, and that there should not 
be day and night in their season; 

21 Then may also my covenant be 
broken with David my servant, 
that he should not have a son to 
reign upon his throne; and with 
the Levites the priests, my minis- 
ters. 

22 As * the host of heaven cannot 
be numbered, neither the sand of 
the sea measured; so will I mul- 
tiply the seed of David my servant, 
and the Levites that minister unto 
me. 

23 % Moreover the word of the 
Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 

24 Considerest thou not what 
this people have spoken, saying, 
The two families which the Lord 
hath chosen, he hath even cast 
them off? Thus they have despised 
my people, that they should be 
no more a nation before them. 

25 Thus saith the Lord; If y my 
covenant be not with day and 
night, and if I have not z appointed 
theordinancesof heaven andearth; 

26 Then will I cast away the seed 
of Jacob, and David my servant, 
so that I will not take any of his 
seed to be rulers over the seed of 
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: a for 
I will cause their captivity to 
return, and have mercy on them.

people, fought against Jerusalem, 
and against all the cities thereof,) 
saying,

of Israel; Go and speak to Zede- 
kiah king of Judah, and tell him; 
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, c I 
will give this city into the hand of 
the king of Babylon, and d he 
shall burn it with fire:

taken, and delivered into his hand; 
and thine eyes shall behold the 
eyes of the king of Babylon, and 
2 he shall speak with thee mouth 
to mouth, and thou shalt go to 
Babylon. 

4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, 
O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus 
saith the Lord of thee, Thou shalt 
not die by the sword; 

5 But thou shalt die in peace: 
and with the / burnings of thy 
fathers, the former kings which 
were before thee, so 9 shall they 
burn odours for thee; and A they 
will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! 
for I have pronounced the word, 
saith the Lord. 

6 Then Jeremiah the * prophet 
spake all these words unto Zede- 
kiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 

7 When the king of Babylon's 
army fought against Jerusalem, 
and against all the cities of Judah 
that were left, against Lachish, 
and against Azekah: for •? these 
defenced cities remained of the 
cities of Judah. 

8 K This is the word that came 
unto Jeremiah from the Lord,. 
after that the king Zedekiah had 
made a covenant with all the 
people which were at Jerusalem, 
to proclaim k liberty unto them; 

9 That * every man should let 
his man-servant, and every man 
his maid-servant, being an Hebrew 
or an Hebrewess, go free; m that 
none should serve himself of them, 
to wit, of a Jew his brother. 

10 Now when all the princes, and 
all the people, which had entered 
into the covenant, heard that 
every one should let his man- 
servant, and every one his maid- 
servant, go free, that none should 
serve themselves of them any 
more; then they obeyed, and let 
them go. 

11 But n afterward they turned, 
and caused the servants and the 
handmaids, whom they had let go 
free, to return, and brought them 
into subjection for servants and 
for handmaids. 

12 % Therefore the word of the 
Lord came to Jeremiah from the 
Lord, saying, 

13 Thus saith the Lord, the God 
of Israel, I made a covenant with 
your fathers in the day that I 
brought them forth out of the 
land of Egypt, out of the house of 
bondmen, saying, 

14 At the end of ° seven years 



Oppression of the princes. 



JEREMIAH, XXXV. Obedience of the Rechabites.: 



let ye go every man his brother an 
Hebrew, which 3 hath been sold 
unto thee ; and when he hath 
served thee six years, thou shalt 
let him go free from thee: but 
your fathers hearkened not unto 
me, neither inclined their ear. 

15 And ye were 4 now turned, 
and had done right in my sight, 
in proclaiming liberty every man 
to his neighbour; and ye v had 
made a covenant before me 3 in 
the house 5 which is called by my 
name: 

16 But ye turned, and r polluted 
my name, and caused every man 
his servant, and every man his 
handmaid, whom he had set at 
liberty at their pleasure, to return, 
and brought them into subjection, 
to be unto you for servants and 
for handmaids. 

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 
Ye have not s hearkened unto me, 
in proclaiming liberty, every one 
to his brother, and every man to 
his neighbour: ' behold, I proclaim 
a liberty for you, saith the Lord, 
to u the sword, to the pestilence, 
and to the famine; and I will 
make you 6 to be removed into all 
the kingdoms of the earth. 

18 And I will give the men that 
have " transgressed my covenant, 
which have not performed the 
words of the covenant which they 
had made before me, when they 
cut w the calf in twain, and passed 
between the parts thereof, 

19 The princes of Judah, and the 
princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, 
and the priests, and all the people 
of the land, which passed between 
the parts of the call"; 

20 I will even give them into the 
hand of their enemies, and into 
the hand of them that seek their 
life: and their* dead bodies shall 
be for meat unto the fowls of the 
heaven, and to the beasts of the 
earth. 

21 And Zedekiah king of Judah, 
and his princes, will I give into 
the hand of their enemies, and in- 
to the hand of them that seek 
their life, and into the hand of the 
king of Babylon's army, y which 
are gone up from you. 

22 Behold, * I will command, 
saith the Lord, and cause them 
to return to this city; and they 
shall fight against it, ° and take it, 
and burn it with fire: and 6 1 will 
make the cities of Judah a desola- 
tion without an inhabitant.

CHAPTER XXXV. 

1 By the obedience of the Rechabites, 12 
the Jews' disobedience condemned. 

THE word which came unto 
Jeremiah from the Lord, in 
the days of a Jehoiakim the son of 
Josiah king of Judah, saying, 

2 Go unto the house of b the 
Rechabites, and speak unto them, 
and bring them into the house of 
the Lord, into one of c the cham- 
bers, and give them wine to 

i drink. 

! 3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son 
of Jeremiah, the son of Habaza- 
niah, and his brethren, and all his 
sons, and the whole house of the 
Rechabites; 

4 And I brought them into the 
house of the Lord, into the cham- 
ber of the sons of Hanan, the son 
of Igdaliah, a man of God, which 
was by the chamber of the 
princes, which was above the 
chamber of Maaseiah the son of 
Shallum, d the keeper of the l door: 

5 And I set before the sons of the 
house of the Rechabites pots full 
of wine, and cups, and I said unto 
them, Drink ye wine. 

6 But they said, We will drink 
no wine: for e Jonadab the son of 
Rechab our father commanded us, 
saying, Ye shall drink no wine, 
neither ye, nor your sons for 
ever: 

7 Neither shall ye build house, 
nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, 
nor have any: but all your days ye 
shall dwell in tents; / that ye may 
live many days in the land where 
ye be strangers. 

8 Thus have we 9 obeyed the 
voice of Jonadab the son of Re- 
chab our father in all that he hath 
charged us, to drink no wine all 
our days, we, our wives, our sons, 
nor our daughters; 

9 Nor to build houses for us to 
dwell in: neither have we vine- 
yard, nor field, nor seed: 

10 But we have dwelt in tents, 
and have obeyed, and done ac- 
cording to all that Jonadab our 
father commanded us. 

11 But it came to pass, h when 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
came up into the land, that we 
said, Come, and let us go to Jeru- 
salem for fear of the army of the 
Chaldeans, and for fear of the 
army of the Syrians: so we dwell 
at Jerusalem. 

12 H Then came the word of the 
Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, 



Promise to the Rechabites. JEREMIAH, XXXVI. Baruch writes Jeremiah' s prophecy. 



13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, Go and tell the 
men of Judah, and the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem, Will ye not * receive 
instruction to hearken to my 
words? saith the Lord. 

14 The words of Jonadab the son 
of Rechab, that he commanded 
his sons not to drink wine, are 
performed; for unto this day they 
drink none, but obey their father's 
commandment:-' notwithstanding 

1 have spoken unto you, * rising 
early and speaking; but l ye hear- 
kened not unto me. 

15 I m have sent also unto you all 
my servants the prophets, rising 
up early and sending them, saying, 
Return n ye now every man from 
his evil way, and amend your do- 
ings, and go not after other gods 
to serve them, and ye shall dwell 
in the land which I have given to 
you and to your fathers: but ye 
have not inclined your ear, nor 
hearkened unto me. 

18 Because the sons of Jonadab 
the son of Rechab have performed 
the commandment of their father, 
which he commanded them; but 
this people hath not hearkened 
unto me: 

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God of hosts, the God of Israel; 
Behold, I ° will bring upon Judah 
and upon all the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem all the evil that I have 
pronounced against them: p be- 
cause I have spoken unto them, 
but they have not heard; and I 
have called unto them, but they 
have not answered. 

18 If And Jeremiah said unto the 
house of the Rechabites, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts, the God of Is- 
rael; 2 Because ye have obeyed the 
commandment of Jonadab your 
father, and kept all his precepts, 
and done according unto all that 
he hath commanded you; 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, the God of Israel; 2 Jona- 
dab the son of Rechab shall not 
want a man r to stand before me 
for ever.

write b therein all the words that I 
have spoken unto thee against 
Israel, and against Judah, and 
against c all the nations, from the 
day I spake unto thee, from the 
days of d Josiah, even unto this 
day. 

3 It ' may be that the house of 
Judah will hear all the evil which 
I purpose to do unto them; that 
they may /return every man from 
his evil way; that I may forgive 
their iniquity and their sin. 

4 Then Jeremiah 9 called Baruch 
the son of Neriah: and h Baruch 
wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah 
all the words of the Lord, which 
he had spoken unto him, upon a 
roll of a book. 

5 And Jeremiah commanded 
Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I 
cannot go into the house of the 
Lord: 

6 Therefore go thou, and read in 
the roll, which thou hast written 
from my mouth, the words of the 
Lord, in the ears of the people, in 
the Lord's house upon * the fasting 
day: and also thoushalt read them 
in the ears of all Judah i that 
come out of their cities. 

7 It may be x they will present 
their supplication before the Lord, 
and will return every one from his 
evil way: for k great is the anger 
and the fury that the Lord hath 
pronounced against this people. 

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah 
did according to all that Jeremiah 
the prophet commanded him, 
reading in the book the words of 
the Lord in the Lord's house. 

9 And it came to pass in the fifth 
year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah 
king of Judah, in the ninth month, 
that l they proclaimed a fast before 
the Lord to all the people in Jeru- 
salem, and to all the people that 
came from the cities of Judah unto 
Jerusalem. 

10 Then read Baruch in the book 
the words of Jeremiah in the house 
of the Lord, in the chamber of 
Gemariah the son of Shaphan the 

2 scribe, in the higher court, at the 

3 entry of the new gate of the 
Lord's house, in the ears of all the 
people. 

11 ^ When Michaiah the son of 
Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had 
heard out of the book all the words 
of the Lord, 

12 Then he went down into the 
king's house, into the scribe's 
chamber: and, lo, all the princes

sat there, even Elishama the scribe, 
and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, 
and Elnathan the son of Achbor, 
and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, 
and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, 
and all the princes. 

13 Then Michaiah declared nnto 
them all the words that he had 
heard, when Baruch read the book 
in the ears of the people. 

14 Therefore all the princes sent 
Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the 
son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, 
unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine 
hand the roll wherein thou hast 
read in the ears of the people, and 
com e . So Baruch the son of Neriah 
took the roll in his hand, and came 
unto m them. 

15 And they said unto him, Sit 
down now, and read it in our ears. 
So Baruch read it in their ears. 

16 .Now it came to pass, when 
they had heard all the words, they 
were " afraid, both one and other, 
and said unto Baruch, We will 
surely tell the king of all these 
words. 

17 And they asked Baruch, say- 
ing, Tell us now, How didst thou 
write all these words at his 
mouth? 

18 Then Baruch answered them, 
He ° pronounced all these words 
unto me with his mouth, and I 
wrote them with ink in the book. 

19 Then said the princes unto 
Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and 
Jeremiah; and let no man know 
where ye be. 

20 \ And they went in to the 
king into the court, but they laid 
up the roll in the chamber of Eli- 
shama the scribe, and told all the 
words in the ears of the king. 

21 So the king sent Jehudi to 
fetch the roll: and he took it out 
of Elishama the scribe's chamber: 
and Jehudi read it in the ears of 
the king, and in the ears of all the 
princes which stood beside the 
king. 

22 Now the king sat in *the 
winter-house, in the ninth month: 
and there was a fire on the hearth 
burning before him. 

23 And it came to pass, that when 
Jehudi had read three or four 
leaves, 9 he cut it with the penknife, 
and cast it into the fire that was on 
the hearth, until all the roll was 
consumed in the fire that was on 
the hearth. 

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor 
rent r their garments, neither the

heard all these words. 

25 Nevertheless Elnathan, and 
Delaiah, and Gemariah, 5 had made 
intercession to the king that he 
would not bum the roll; but he 
would not hear them. 

26 But the king commanded 
Jerahmeel the son 4 of Hammelech, 
and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and 
Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to 
take ' Baruch the scribe, and Jere-

hid them.

came to Jeremiah, (after v that the 
king had burnt the roll, and the 
words which Baruch wrote at the 
mouth of Jeremiah,) saying, 

28 Take thee again another roll, 
and write in it all the former 
words that were in the first roll,

hath burnt.

the Lord; Thou hast burnt this 
roll, w saying, Why hast thou writ- 
ten therein, saying, The king of 
Babylon shall certainly come and 
destroy this land, and shall cause 
to cease from thence man and 
beast? 

30 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of Jehoiakim king of Judah; x He 
shall have none to sit upon the 
throne of David: and his dead body 
shall be y cast out in the day to the 
heat, and in the night to the frost. 

31 And I will 6 punish him and 
his seed and his servants for their 
iniquity; and I will bring upon 
them, and upon the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem, and upon the men 
of Judah, all the evil that I have 
pronounced against them: but they 
hearkened not. 

32 ^| Then took Jeremiah another 
roll, and gave it to Baruch the 
scribe, the son of Neriah; *who 
wrote therein, from the mouth of 
Jeremiah, all the words of the 
book which Jehoiakim kiDg of 
Judah had burnt in the fire: and 
there were added besides unto 
them many 6 like words. 

CHAPTER XXXVH. 

1 The Egyptians having raised the Chal- 
deans' siege, Zedekiah sends to Jere- 
miah; 6 who prophesies the Chaldeans' 
return and victory: 11 he is smitten, and 
put in prison.

of Josiah reigned instead of

whom Nebuchadrezzar king of 
Babylon made king in the land of 
Judah. 

2 But h neither he, nor his ser- 
vants, nor the people of the land, 
did hearken unto the words of the 
Lord, which he spake x by the 
prophet Jeremiah. 

3 And Zedekiah the king sent 
Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and 
Zephaniah c the son of Maaseiah 
the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, 
saying, Pray now unto the Lord 
our God for us. 

4 Now Jeremiah came in and 
went out among the people; for 
they had not put him into prison. 

5 Then d Pharaoh's army was 
come forth out of Egypt: e and 
when the Chaldeans that besieged 
Jerusalem heard tidings of them, 
they departed from Jerusalem. 

6 fl Then came the word of the 
Lord unto the prophet Jeremiah, 
saying, 

7 Thus saith the Lord, the God 
of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the 
king of Judah, that / sent you unto 
me to enquire of me; Behold, 
Pharaoh's army, which is come 
forth to help you, shall return to 
Egypt into their own land. 

8 And 9 the Chaldeans shall come 
again, and fight against this city, 
and take it, and burn it with fire. 

9 Thus saith the Lord, Deceive 
not 2 yourselves, saying, The Chal- 
deans shall surely depart from us: 
for they shall not depart. 

10 For h though ye had smitten 
the whole army of the Chaldeans 
that fight against you, and there 
remained but 3 wounded men 
among them, yet should they rise 
up every man in his tent, and 
burn this city with fire. 

11 1f And it came to pass, that 
when the army of the Chaldeans 
was 4 broken up from Jerusalem 
for fear of Pharaoh's army, 

12 Then Jeremiah went forth out 
of Jerusalem to go into the land 
of Benjamin, 6 to .separate himself 
thence in the midst of the people. 

13 And when he was in the gate 
of Benjamin, a captain of the ward 
was there, whose name was Irijah, 
the son of Shelemiah, the son of 
Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah 
the prophet, saying, Thou fallest 
away to the Chaldeans. 

14 Then said Jeremiah, It is 
6 false; I fall not away to the 
Chaldeans. But he hearkened 
cot to him: so Irijah took Jere-

miah, and brought him to the 
princes. 

15 Wherefore the princes * were 
wroth with Jeremiah, and smote 
him, ->'and put him in prison in 
the house of Jonathan the scribe; 
for they had made that the prison. 

16 % When Jeremiah was entered 
into the k dungeon, and into the 
7 cabins, and Jeremiah had re- 
mained there many days; 

17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, 
and took him out; and the king 
asked him secretly in his house, 
and said, l Is there any word from 
the Lord? And Jeremiah said, 
There is: for, said he, thou shalt 
be delivered into the hand of the 
king of Babylon. 

18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto 
king Zedekiah, What have I of- 
fended against thee, or against thy 
servants, or against this people, 
that ye have put me in prison? 

19 Where are now your prophets 
which prophesied unto you, say- 
ing, The king of Babylon shall not 
come against you, nor against this 
land? 

20 Therefore hear now, I pray 
thee, O my lord the king: 8 let my 
supplication, I pray thee, be ac- 
cepted before thee; that thou 
cause me not to return to the 
house of Jonathan the scribe, lest 
I die there. 

21 Then Zedekiah the king com- 
manded that they should commit 
Jeremiah m into the court of the 
prison, and n that they should give 
him daily a piece of bread out of 
the bakers' street, ° until all the 
bread in the city were spent. 
Thus Jeremiah remained p in the 
court of the prison. 

CHAPTER XXXVIII.

THEN Shephatiah the son of 
Mattan, and Gedaliah the son 
of Pashur, and Jucal a the son of 
Shelemiah, and b Pashur the son 
of Malchiah, c heard the words that 
Jeremiah had spoken unto all the 
people, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, d He that 
remaineth in this city shall die by 
the sword, by the famine, and by 
the pestilence: but he that goeth 
forth to the Chaldeans shall five; 
for he shall have his life for a prey, 
and shall live. 

3 Thus saith the Lord, e This city 
shall surely be given into the hand

of the king of Babylon's army, 
which shall take it. 

4 Therefore the princes said unto 
the king, "We beseech thee, ''let 
this man be put to death; for thus 
he weakeneth the hands of the 
men of war that remain in this 
city, and the hands of all the 
people, in speaking such words 
unto them: for this man seeketh 
not the x welfare of this people, but 
the hurt. 

5 Then Zedekiah the king said, 
Behold, he is 9 m your hand: for 
the king is not he that can do any 
thing against you. 

6 Then ft took they Jeremiah, and 
cast him into *the dungeon of 
Malchiah the son 2 of Hammelech, 
that was in the court of the prison: 
and they let down Jeremiah with 
cords. And in the dungeon there 
was no water, but mire: so Jere- 
miah sunk in the mire. 

7 % Now, » when Ebed-melech 
the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs 
which was in the king's house, 
heard that they had put Jeremiah 
in the dungeon, (the king then 
sitting ft in the gate of Benjamin,) 

8 Ebed-melech went forth out of 
the king's house, and l spake to the 
king, saying, 

9 My lord the king, these men 
have done evil in all that they 
have done to Jeremiah the pro- 
phet, whom they have cast into 
the dungeon; and 3 he is like to 
diefor hunger in the place where 
he is: for there is no more bread in 
the city. 

10 Then the king commanded 
Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, say- 
ing, Take from hence thirty men 
4 with thee, and take up Jeremiah 
the prophet out of the dungeon, 
before he die. 

11 So Ebed-melech took the men 
with him, and went into the house 
of the king under the treasury, and 
took thence old cast clouts and old 
rotten rags, and let them down 
by cords into the dungeon to 
Jeremiah. 

12 And m Ebed-melech the Ethi- 
opian said unto Jeremiah, Put 
now these old cast clouts and rotten 
rags under thine arm holes under 
the cords. And Jeremiah did so. 

13 So they drew up Jeremiah 
with cords, and took him up out 
of the dungeon: and Jeremiah 
remained n in the court of the 
prison.

sent, and took Jeremiah the pro- 
phet unto him into the 6 third 
entry that is in the house of the 
Lord: and the king said unto 
Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; 
hide nothing from me. 

15 Then Jeremiah said unto 
Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, 
wilt thou not surely put me to 
death? and if 1 give thee counsel, 
wilt thou not hearken unto me? 

16 So Zedekiah the king sware 
secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As 
the Lord liveth, ° that made us 
this soul, I will not put thee to 
death, neither will I give thee into 
the hand of these men that seek 
thy life. 

17 Then said Jeremiah unto 
Zedekiah, Thus saith the Lord, 
the God of hosts, the God of Israel; 
If thou wilt assuredly p go forth 
unto the king of Babylon's princes, 
then thy soul shall live, and this 
city shall not be burnt with fire; 
and thou shalt live, and thine 
house: 

18 But if thou wilt not go forth 
to the king of Babylon's princes, 
then shall this city be given into 
the hand of the Chaldeans, and 
they shall burn it with fire, and 
thou q shalt not escape out of their 
hand. 

19 And Zedekiah the king said 
unto Jeremiah, I r am afraid of the 
Jews that are fallen to the Chal- 
deans, lest they deliver me into 
their hand, and they s mock me. 

20 But Jeremiah said, They shall 
not deliver thee. Obey, I * beseech 
thee, the voice of the Lord, which I 
speak unto thee: so it shall be well 
unto thee, and thy soul shall live. 

21 But if thou refuse to go forth, 
this is the word that the Lord hath 
showed me: 

22 And, behold, all the women 
that are left in the king of Ju- 
dah's house shall be brought forth 
to the king of Babylon's princes, 
and those women shall say, 6 Thy 
friends have set thee on, and have 
prevailed against thee; thy feet 
are sunk in the mire, and they are 
turned away back. 

23 So they shall bring out all thy 
wives and thy u children to the 
Chaldeans: and thou shalt not es- 
cape out of their hand, but shalt 
be taken by the hand of the king 
of Babylon; and 7 thou shalt cause 
this city to be burnt with fire.

Jeremiah, Let no man know of 



Jerusalem taken.

these words, and thou shalt not 
die. 

25 But if the princes hear that I 
have talked with thee, and they 
come unto thee, and say unto thee, 
Declare unto us now what thou 
hast said unto the king, hide it not 
from us, and we will not put thee 
to death; also what the king said 
unto thee: 

26 Then thou shalt say unto them, 

1 "presented my supplication before 
the king, that he would not cause 
me to return w to Jonathan's house, 
to die there. 

27 Then came all the princes unto 
Jeremiah, and asked him: and he 
told them according to all these 
words that the kirjg had com- 
manded. So 8 they left off speak- 
ing with him; for the matter was 
not perceived. 

28 So x Jeremiah abode in the 
court of the prison until the day 
that Jerusalem was taken: and 
he was there when Jerusalem was 
takeD. 

CHAPTER XXXIX. 

1 Jerusalem taken. 4 Zedekiah made 
blind, and sent to Babylon. 8 The city 
ruined, 9 The people carried away 
captive. 

IN the a ninth year of Zedekiah 
king of Judah, in the tenth 
month, came Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon and all his 
army against Jerusalem, and 
they besieged it. 

2 And in the eleventh year of 
Zedekiah, in the fourth month, 
the ninth day of the month, the 
city was broken up. 

3 And ° all the princes of the 
king of Babylon came in, and sat 
in the middle gate, even Nergal- 
sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarse- 
chim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, 
Rab-mag, with all the residue of 
the princes of the king of Babylon. 

4 % And c it came to pass, that 
when Zedekiah the king of Judah 
saw them, and all the men of war, 
then they fled, and went forth out 
of the city by night, by the way of 
the king's garden, by the gate be- 
twixt the two walls: and he went 
out the way of the plain. 

5 But the Chaldeans' army pur- 
sued after them, and d overtook 
Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: 
and when they had taken him, 
they brought him up to Nebuchad- 
nezzar king of Babylon to e Riblah 
in the land of Hamath, where he 
1 gave judgment upon him.

fore his eyes: also the king of 
Babylon slew all the nobles of 
Judah. 

7 Moreover / he put out Zede- 
kiah's eyes, and bound him 2 with 
chains, to carry him to Babylon. 

8 And 9 the Chaldeans burned 
the king's house, and the houses 
of the people, with fire, and brake 
down the walls of Jerusalem. 

9 ^ Then h Nebuzar-adan the 
3 captain of the guard carried away 
captive into Babylon the remnant 
of the people that remained in the 
city, and those that fell away, that 
fell to him, with the rest of the 
people that remained. 

10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain 
of the guard * left of the poor of 
the people, which had nothing, in 
the land of Judah, and gave them 
vineyards and fields i at the same 
time. 

11 f Now Nebuchadrezzar king 
of Babylon gave charge concern- 
ing Jeremiah 5 to Nebuzar-adan 
the captain of the guard, saying, . 

12 Take him, and 6 look well to 
him, and do him no harm; but do 
unto him even as he shall say unto 
thee. 

13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain 
of the guard sent, and Nebushas- 
ban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar- 
ezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of 
Babylon's princes; 

14 Even they sent, -?'and took 
Jeremiah out of the court of the 
prison, and committed him * unto 
Gedaliah the { son of Ahikam, the 
son of Shaphan, that he should 
carry him home: so he dwelt 
among the people. 

15 % Now the word of the Lord 
came unto Jeremiah, while he was 
shut up in the court of the prison, 
saying, 

16 Go and speak to m Ebed- 
melech the Ethiopian, saying, 
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel; Behold, n I will bring 
my words upon this city for evil, 
and not for good; and they shall 
be accomplished in that day before 
thee. 

17 But I will deliver thee in that 
day, saith the Lord; and thou 
shalt not be given into the hand 
of the men of whom thou art afraid. 

18 For I will surely deliver thee, 
and thou shalt not fall by the 
sword, but thy life shall be for a 
prey unto thee; p because thou hast 
put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.

THE word which came to Jere- l Or, manacles 
miah from the Lord, a after * Lev. 26, 14- 
that Nebuzar-adan the captain of 
the guard had let him go from 
Ramah, when he had taken him, 
heing hound in l chains among all 
that were carried away captive of 
Jerusalem and Judah, which were 
carried away captive unto Bahy Ion. 

2 And the captain of the guard 
took Jeremiah, and said unto 
him, b The Lord thy God hath pro- 
nounced this evil upon this place. 

3 Now the Lord hath "brought it, 
and done according as he hath 
said: c because ye have sinned 
against the Lord, and have not 
obeyed his voice, therefore this 
thing is come upon you. 

4 And now, behold, I loose thee 
this day from the chains which 
2 were upon thine hand. d If it 
seem good unto thee to come with 
me into Babylon, come, and 3 1 
will look well unto thee; hut if it 
seem ill unto thee to come with 
me into Babylon, forbear: behold, 
all 6 the land is before thee: whi- 
ther it seemeth good and conve- 
nient for thee to go, thither go. 

5 Now, while he was not yet 
gone back, he said, Go back also to 
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the 
son of Shaphan, ''whom the king of 
Babylon hath made governor over 
the cities of Judah, and dwell with 
him among the people; or go 
wheresoever it seemeth convenient 
unto thee to go. So the captain 
of the guard 9 gave him victuals 
and a reward, and let him go. 

6 Then A went Jeremiah unto 
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam * to 
Mizpah, and dwelt with him 
among the people that were left 
in the land. 

7 1f Now, ■> when all the captains 
of the forces which were in the 
fields, even they and their men, 
heard that the king of Babylon 
had made Gedaliah the son of 
Ahikam governor in the land, and 
had committed unto him men, 
and women, and children, and of 
the k poor of the land, of them 
that were not carried away cap- 
tive to Babylon;

tophathite, and Jezaniah the son 
of a Maachathite, they and their 
men. 

9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahi- 
kam, the son of Shaphan, sware 
unto them, and to their men, 
saying, Fear not * to serve the 
Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and 
serve the king of Babylon, and 
it shall be well with you. 

10 As for me, behold, I will dwell 
at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, 
which will come unto us; but ye, 
gather m ye wine, and summer 
fruits, and oil, and put them in 
your vessels, and dwell in your 
cities that ye have taken. 

11 Likewise when all n the Jews 
that were in Moab, and among the 
Ammonites, and in Edom, and 
that were in all the countries, 
heard that the king of Babylon 
had left a remnant of Judah, and 
that he had set over them Geda- 
liah the son of Ahikam the son of 
Shaphan; 

12 Even all the Jews returned 
out of all places whither they 
were driven, and came to the land 
of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, 
and gathered wine and summer 
fruits very much. 

13 ^ Moreover Johanan the son of 
Kareah, and all the captains of the 
forces that were in the fields, came 
to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 

14 And said unto him, Dost thou 
certainly know that ° Baalis the 
king of the Ammonites hath sent 
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 5 to 
slay thee? But Gedaliah the son 
of Ahikam believed them not. 

15 Then Johanan the son of Kar- 
eah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah 
secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray 
thee, and I will slay Ishmael the 
son of Nethaniah, and no man 
shall know it: wherefore should he 
slay thee, that all the Jews which 
are gathered unto thee should be 
scattered, and the remnant in Ju- 
dah perish? 

16 ButGedaliah the son of Ahikam 
said unto Johanan the son of 
Kareah, Thou shalt p not do this 
thing; for thou speakest falsely of 
Ishmael.

the son of Nethaniah the son of 
Eiishama, of the seed royal, and the 
princes of the king, even ten men 
with him, came unto Gedaliah the 
son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and 
there they h did eat bread together 
in Mizpah. 

2 Then arose Ishmael the son of 
Nethaniah, and the ten men that 
were with him, and c smote Geda- 
liah the son of Ahikam, the son of 
Shaphan, with the sword, and slew 
him, whom the king of Babylon 
had made governor over the land. 

3 Ishmael also d slew all the Jews 
that were with him, even with 
Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the 
Chaldeans that were found there, 
and the men of war. 

4 And it came to pass, the second 
day after he had slain Gedaliah, 
and no man knew it, 

5 That there came certain e from 
Shechem, from / Shiloh, and from 
Samaria, even fourscore men, 9 hav- 
ing their beards shaven, and then 
clothes rent, and having cut them- 
selves, with offerings and incense 
in then hand, to bring them to 
the h house of the Lord. 

6 And Ishmael the son of Nethan- 
iah went forth from Mizpah to 
meet them, x weeping all along as 
he went: and it came to pass, as he 
met them, he said unto them, 
Come to Gedaliah the son of 
Ahikam. 

7 And it was so, when they came 
into the midst of the city, that 
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew 
them, and cast them into the midst 
of the pit, he, and the men that 
were with him. 

8 But ten men were found among 
them that said unto Ishmael, Slay 
us not; for we have treasures in 
the held, of wheat, and of barley, 
and of oil, and of honey. So he for- 
bare, and slew them not among 
their brethren. 

9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael 
had cast all the dead bodies of the 
men, whom he had slain 2 because 
of Gedaliah, was it which * Asa the 
king had made for fear of Baasha 
king of Israel: and Ishmael the son 
of Nethaniah filled it with them that 
were slain. 

10 Then Ishmael carried away 
captive all the residue of the people 
that were in Mizpah, i even the 
king's daughters, and all the peo- 
ple that remained in Mizpah, whom 
Nebuzar-adan *the captain of the 
guard had committed to Gedaliah

the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael 
the son of Nethaniah carried them 
away captive, and departed to go 
over to l the Ammonites. 

11 % But when Johanan the son 
of Kareah, and all m the captains of 
the forces that were with him, heard 
of all the evil that Ishmael the son 
of Nethaniah had done, 

12 Then they took all the men, 
and went to fight with Ishmael 
the son of Nethaniah, and found 
him by n the great waters that are 
in Gibeon. 

13 Now it came to pass, that when 
all the people which were with 
Ishmael saw Johanan the son of 
Kareah, and all the captains of 
the forces that were with him, then 
they were glad. 

14 So all the people that Ishmael 
had carried away captive from 
Mizpah cast about and returned, 
and went unto Johanan the son 
of Kareah. 

15 But Ishmael the son of Netha- 
niah escaped ° from Johanan with 
eight men, and went to the Am- 
monites. 

16 Then took Johanan the son of 
Kareah, and all the captains of the 
forces that were with him, all the 
remnant of the people whom he 
had recovered from Ishmael the 
son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, 
after that he had slain Gedaliah 
the son of Ahikam, even mighty 
men of war, and the women, and 
the children, and the eunuchs, 
whom he had brought again from 
Gibeon: 

17 And they departed, and dwelt 
in the habitation of p Chimham, 
which is by Beth-lehem, to go to 
enter into Egypt, 

18 3 Because of the Chaldeans: for 
they were afraid of them, because 
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had 
slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, 
whom q the king of Babylon made 
governor in the land. 

CHAPTER XLII.

THEN all the captains of the 
forces, a and Johanan the son 
of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son 
of Hoshaiah, and all the people 
from the least even unto the great- 
est, came near, 

2 And said unto Jeremiah the 
prophet, x Let, we beseech thee,

thee, and b pray for us unto the 
Lord thy God, even for all this 
remnant; (for we are left but a, 
few of many, as thine eyes do 
hehold us;) 

3 That the Lord thy God may 
show us the d way wherein we 
may walk, and the thing that we 
may do. 

4 Then Jeremiah the prophet 
said unto them, I have heard you; 
behold, I will pray unto the Lord 
your God according to your words; 
and it shall come to pass, that 
whatsoever 6 thing the Lord shall 
answer you, I will declare it unto 
you; I will / keep nothing back 
from you. 

5 Then they said to Jeremiah, 
The 9 Lord be a true and faithful 
witness between us, if we do not 
even according to all things for 
the which the Lord thy God shall 
send thee to us. 

6 Whether it be good, or whether 
it be evil, we will obey the voice of 
the Lord our God, to whom we 
send thee; h that it may be well 
with us, when we obey the voice 
of the Lord our God. 

7 1 And it came to pass after ten 
days, that the word of the Lord 
came unto Jeremiah. 

8 Then called he Johanan the 
son of Kareah, and all the captains 
of the forces which were with him, 
and all the people, from the least 
even to the greatest, 

9 And said unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord, the God of Israel, unto 
whom ye sent me to present your 
supplication before him; 

10 If ye will still abide in this land, 
then will * I build you, and not pull 
you down, and I will plant you, 
and not pluck you up: for I i re- 
pent me of the evil that I have 
done unto you. 

11 Be not afraid of the king of 
Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; 
be not afraid of him, saith the 
Lord: * for I am with you to save 
you, and to deliver you from his 
hand. 

12 And 1 1 will show mercies unto 
you, that he may have mercy upon 
you, and cause you to. return to

15 And now therefore hear the 
word of the Lord, ye remnant of 
Judah; Thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel; If n ye 
wholly set your faces to enter into 
Egypt, and go to sojourn there; 

16 Then it shall come to pass, that 
the sword, ° which ye feared, shall 
overtake you there in the land of 
Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye 
were afraid, 2 shall follow close 
after you there in Egypt, and there 
ye shall die. 

17 3 So shall it be with all the 
men that set their faces to go into 
Egypt to sojourn there; they shall 
die p by the sword, by the famine, 
and by the pestilence: and 2 none 
of them shall remain or escape 
from the evil that I will bring upon 
them. 

18 For thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel; As mine 
anger and 'my fury hath r been 
poured forth upon the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be 
poured forth upon you, when ye 
shall enter into Egypt: and s ye 
shall be an execration, and an 
astonishment, and a curse, and a 
reproach; and ye shall see this place 
no more. 

19 1f The Lord hath said concern- 
ing you, O ye remnant of Judah; 
Go ' ye not into Egypt: know cer- 
tainly that I have 4 admonished 
you this day. 

20 For 5 ye dissembled in youi 
hearts, when ye sent me unto the 
Lord your God, saying, Pray for 
us unto the Lord our God; and 
according unto all that the Lord 
our God shall say, so declare unto 
us, and we will do it. 

21 And now I have this day de- 
clared it to you; but u ye have not 
obeyed the voice of the Lord your 
God, nor any thing for the which 
he hath sent me unto you. 

22 Now therefore know certainly 
that v ye shall die by the sword, by 
the famine, and by the pestilence, 
in the place whithe* ye desire 6 to 
go and to sojourn. 

CHAPTER XLILL 
1 Johanan carries Jeremiah into Egypt 
8 Jeremiah by a type prophesies the con-

words of the Lord their God, for 
which the Lord their God had

sent him to them, even all these 
words, 

2 Then a spake Azariah the 
son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan 
the son of Kareah, and all b the 
proud men, saying unto Jere- 
miah, Thou speakest falsely: the 
Lord our God hath not sent thee to 
say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn 
there: 

3 But Baruch the son of Neriah 
setteth thee on against us, for to 
deliver us into the hand of' the 
Chaldeans, that they might put us 
to death, and can-y us away cap- 
tives into Babylon. 

4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, 
and all the captains of the forces, 
and all the people, obeyed not the 
voice of the Lord, to dwell in the 
land of Judah. 

5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, 
and all the captains of the forces, 
took c all the remnant of Judah, 
that were returned from all nations 
whither they had been" driven, to 
dwell in the land of Judah; 

6 Even men, and women, and 
children, and the king's daughters, 
and d every person that Nebuzar- 
adan the captain of the guard had 
left with Gedaliah the son of Ahi- 
kam, the son of Shapban, and 
Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch 
the son of Neriah. 

7 So they came into the land of 
Egypt: for they obeyed not the 
voice of the Lord. Thus came 
they even to " Tahpanhes. 

8 f Then came the word of the 
Lord imto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, 
saying, 

9 Take great stones in thine 
hand, and hide them in the clay 
in the brick-kiln, which is at 
the entry of Pharaoh's house in 
Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men 
of Judah; 

10 And say unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel- Behold, I t will send and 
take Nebuchadrezzar the king of 
Babylon, 9 my servant, and will 
set his throne upon these stones 
that I have hid; and he shall 
spread his royal pavilion over 
them. 

11 And A when he cometh, he 
shall smite the land of Egypt, 
and deliver * such as are for death 
to death; and such as are for cap- 
tivity to captivity; and such as are 
for the sword to the sword.

CHAPTER XLIV. 

1 Desolation of Judah for idolatry: 15 
their inflexible obstinacy 20 threatened. 
29 Destruction of Egypt foreshown. 

THE word that came to Jere- 
miah concerning all the Jews 
which dwell in the land of Egypt, 
which dwell at a Migdol, and * at 
Tahpanhes, and at c Noph, and in 
the country of d Pathros, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel; Ye have seen 
all the evil that I have brought 
upon Jerusalem, and upon all the 
cities of Judah; and, behold, this 
day they are * a desolation, and no 
man dwelleth therein, 

3 Because of their wickedness 
which they have committed to 
provoke me to anger, in that they 
went /to burn incense, and to 
serve e other gods, whom they 
knew not, neither they, ye, nor your 
fathers. 

4 Howbeit n 1 sent unto you all 
my servants the prophets, rising 
early and sending them, saying, Oh, 
do not this abominable thing that 
I hate. 

5 But they hearkened not, nor 
inclined their ear to turn from 
their wickedness, to bum no in- 
cense unto other gods. 

6 Wherefore * my fury and mine 
anger was poured forth, and was 
kindled in the cities of Judah and 
in the streets of Jerusalem; and 
they are wasted and desolate, as at 
this day. 

7 Therefore now thus saith the 
Lord, the God of hosts, the God of 
Israel; "Wherefore commit ye this 
great evil i against your souls, to 
cut off from you man and woman, 
child and suckling, } out of Judah, 
to leave you none to remain; 

8 In that ye k provoke me unto 
wrath with the works of your 
hands, burning incense unto other 
gods in the land of Egypt, whither 
ye be gone to dwell, that ye might 
cut yourselves off, and that ye 
might be a * curse and a reproach 
among all the nations of the earth? 



The Jews in Egypt threatened JEREMIAH, XLIV. for their obstinate idolatry. 



9 Have ye forgotten the 2 wicked- 
ness of your fathers, and the wick- 
edness of the kings of Judah, and 
the wickedness of their wives, and 
your own wickedness, and the 
wickedness of your wives, which 
they have committed in the land 
of Judah, and in the streets of 
Jerusalem? 

10 They are not 3 humbled even 
unto this day, neither have m they 
feared, nor walked in my law, nor 
in my statutes, that I set before 
you and before your fathers. 

11 ^f Therefore thus saith the 
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; 
Behold, "I will set my face against 
you for evil, and to cut off all 
Judah. 

12 And I will take the remnant 
of Judah, that have set their faces 
to go into the land of Egypt to 
sojourn there, and ° they shall all 
be consumed, and fall in the land 
of Egypt; they shall even be con- 
sumed by the sword and by the 
famine: they shall die, from the 
least even unto the greatest, by 
the sword and by the famine; and 
they p shall be an execration, and 
an astonishment, and a curse, and 
a reproach. 

13 For I will 4 punish them that 
dwell in the land of Egypt, as I 
have punished Jerusalem, by the 
sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence: 

14 So that none of the remnant 
of Judah, which are gone into the 
land of Egypt to sojourn there, 
shall escape or remain, that they 
should return into the land of 
Judah, to the which they 5 have a 
desire to return to dwell there: for 
none shall return but such as shall 
escape. 

15 % Then all the men which 
knew that their wives had burnt 
incense unto other gods, and all 
the women that stood by, a great 
multitude, even all the people that 
dwelt in the land of Egypt, in 
Pathros, answered Jeremiah, say- 
ing, 

16 As for the word that thou hast 
spoken unto us in the name of the 
Lord, q we will not hearken unto 
thee: 

17 But we will certainly r do 
whatsoever thing goeth forth out 
of our own mouth, to burn incense 
unto the 6 queen of heaven, and to 
pour out drink offerings unto her, 
as we have done, we, and our fa- 
thers, our kings, and our princes,

in the cities of Judah, and in the 
streets of Jerusalem: for then had 
we plenty of 7 victuals, and were 
well, and saw no evil. 

18 But since we left off to burn 
incense to the queen of heaven, 
and to pour out drink offerings 
unto her, we have wanted all 
things, and have been consumed 
by the sword and by the famine. 

19 And s when we burnt incense 
to the queen of heaven, and poured 
out drink offerings unto her, did 
we make her cakes to worship her, 
and pour out drink offerings unto 
her, without our 8 men? 

20 f Then Jeremiah said unto all 
the people, to the men, and to the 
women, and to all the people 
which had given him that answer i 
saying, 

21 The incense that ye burnt in 
the cities of Judah and in the 
streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your 
fathers, your kings, and your 
princes, and the people of the land, 
did not the Lord remember them, 
and came it not into his mind? 

22 So that the Lord could' no 
longer bear, because of the evil of 
your doings, and because of the 
abominations which ye have com- 
mitted; therefore is your land u a 
desolation, and an astonishment, 
and a curse, without an inhabitant, 
as at this day. 

23 Because ye have burnt In- 
cense, and because ye have sinned 
against the Lord, and have not 
obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor 
walked in his law, nor in his 
statutes, nor in his testimonies; 
therefore " this evil is happened 
unto you, as at this day. 

24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto 
all the people, and to all the 
women, Hear the word of the 
Lord, all Judah " that are in the 
land of Egypt: 

25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, saying; Ye and 
your wives have both spoken with 
your mouths, and fulfilled with 
your hand, saying, We will surely 
perform our vows that we have 
vowed, to burn incense to the 
queen of heaven, and to pour out 
drink offerings unto her: ye will 
surely accomplish your vows, and 
surely perform your vows. 

26 Therefore hear ye the word of 
the Lord, all Judah that dwell in 
the land of Egypt; Behold, x I have 
sworn by my great name, saith the 
Lord, that y my name shall no

more Renamed in the mouth, of any 
man of Judah in all the land of 
Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth. 

27 Behold, Z I will watch over 
them for evil, and not for good: 
and all the men of Judah that are 
in the land of Egypt shall be con- 
sumed by the sword and by the fa- 
mine, until there be an end of them. 

28 Yet a a small number that 
escape the sword shall return out 
of the land of Egypt into the land 
of Judah, and all the remnant of 
Judah, that are gone into the land 
of Egypt to sojourn there, shall 
know whose words shall stand, 
9 mine, or theirs. 

29 ^f And this shall be a sign unto 
you, saith the Lord, that I will 
punish you in this place, that ye 
may know that my words shall 
surely b stand against you for evil: 

30 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, 
I c will give Pharaoh-hophra king 
of Egypt into the hand of his 
enemies, and into the hand of 
them that seek his life; as I gave 
Zedekiah d king of Judah into the 
hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of 
Babylon, his enemy, and that 
sought his life.

1 JBaruch being dismayed, 4 Jeremiah 
instructs and comforts him. 

THE ° word that Jeremiah the 
prophet spake unto Baruch 
the son of Neriah, when he had 
written these words in a book at 
the mouth of Jeremiah, in the 
fourth year of Jehoiakim the son 
of Josiah king of Judah, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, the God 
of Israel, unto thee, Baruch; 

3 Thou didst say, "Woe is me now! 
for the Lord hath added grief to 
my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, 
and I find no rest. 

4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, 
The Lord saith thus, Behold, h that 
which I have built will I break 
down, and that which I have 
planted I will pluck up, even this 
whole land. 

5 And c seekest thou great things 
for thyself ? seek them not: for, be- 
hold, d I will bring evil upon all 
flesh, saith the Lord; but thy life 
will I give unto thee e for a prey in 
all places whither thou goest.

2 Against Egypt, b against the

Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon

akim the son of Josiah king of

3 Order c ye the buckler and

4 Harness the horses; and get up, 
ye horsemen, and stand forth with 
your helmets; furbish the spears, 
and put on the brigandines. 

5 Wherefore have I seen them 
dismayed and turned away back? 
and their mighty ones are x beaten 
down, and are 2 fled apace, and 
look not back: /or d fear was round 
about, saith the Lord. 

6 Let not the swift flee away, nor 
the mighty man escape ; 6 they 
shall stumble, and fall toward the 
north by the river Euphrates. 

7 Who is this that cometh up / as 
a flood, whose waters are moved 
as the rivers? 

8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, 
and his waters are moved like the 
rivers; and he saith, I will go up, 
and will cover the earth; I will de- 
stroy the city and the inhabitants 
thereof. 

9 Come up, ye horses; and rage, 
ye chariots; and let the mighty 
men come forth; 3 the Ethiopians 
and i the Libyans, that handle the 
shield; and the Lydians, that han- 
dle and bend the bow» 

10 For this is 9 the day of the 
Lord God of hosts, a day of ven- 
geance, that he may avenge him 
of his adversaries: and h the sword 
shall devour, and it shall be satiate 
and made drunk with their blood; 
for the Lord God of hosts * hath a 
sacrifice in the north country by 
the river Euphrates. 

11 Go i up into Gilead, and take 
balm, * O virgin, the daughter of 
Egypt: in vain shalt thou use 
many medicines; for s thou shalt 
not be cured. 

12 The nations have heard of thy

stumbled against the mighty, and

that Pharaoh smote l Gaza. 

2 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, 
waters c rise up d out of the north, 
and shall be an overflowing flood, 
and shall overflow the land, and 

2 all that is therein; the city, and 
them that dwell therein: then the

for thee with the weeping of Jazer: 
thy plants are gone over the sea,

Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon 
thy summer fruits and upon tby

33 And joy b and gladness is taken

34 From c the cry of Heshbon

35 Moreover I will cause to cease

36 Therefore /mine heart shall 
sound for Moab like pipes, and 
mine heart shall sound like pipes

the 9 riches that he hath gotten are 
perished. 

37 For h every head shall be bald,

38 There shall be lamentation gen-

for I have broken Moab like i a 
vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith 
the Lord. 

m 39 They shall howl, saying, How 
is it broken down! how hath Moab 
turned the u back with shame! so 
shall Moab be a derision and a 
dismaying to all them about

40 For thus saith the Lord; Be- 
hold, k he shall fly as an eagle,

Moab. 

41 15 Kerioth is taken, and the

the mighty men's hearts in Moab

captivity of Moab M in the latter

the judgment of Moab. 

CHAPTER XLIX. 

1 Judgment of Amnion, 7 Edom, 23 Da- 
mascus, 28 Kedar, 30 llazor, 34 and 
Elam. 39 Restoration of Elam. 

CONCERNING * the Ammon- 
ites, thus saith the Lord; Hath 
Israel no sons? hath he no heir ? 
why then doth 2 their king a inherit 
Gad, and his people dwell in his 
cities? 

2 Therefore, behold, the days 
come, saith the Lord, that I will 
cause an alarm of war to be heard 
in 6 Rabbah of the Ammonites; 
and it shall be a desolate heap, 
and her daughters shall be burnt 
with fire: then shall Israel be heir 
unto them that were his heirs, 
saith the Lord. 

3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is 
spoiled: ciy, ye daughters of Rab- 
bah, c gird you with sackcloth; 
lament, and run to and fro by the 
hedges : for 3 their king shall go 
into captivity, and his d priests and 
his princes together. 

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the 
valleys, 4 thy flowing valley, O 
backsliding daughter? that trusted 
in her treasures, e saying, Who shall 
come unto me? 

5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon 
thee, saith the Lord Uod of hosts, 
from all those that be about thee; 
and ye shall be driven out every 
man right forth; and none shall 
gather up him that wandereth. 

6 And/ afterward I will bring

again the captivity of the children 
of Ammon, saith the Lord. 

7 f Concerning 9 Edom, thus 
saith the Lord of hosts; h Is wis- 
dom no more in Teman? * is coun- 
sel perished from the prudent? is 
their wisdom vanished? 

8 Flee ye, 5 turn hack, J dwell 
deep, inhahitants of h Dedan; 
for I will * bring the calamity of 
Esau upon him, the time that I 
will visit him. 

9 If m grape - gatherers come to 
thee, would they not leave some 
gleaning-grapes ? if thieves by 
night, they will destroy 6 till they 
have enough. 

10 But I have made Esau bare, I 
have uncovered his secret places, 
and he shall not be able to hide 
himself: his seed is spoiled, and 
his brethren, and his neighbours, 
and n he is not 

11 Leave thy ° fatherless children, 
I will preserve them alive; and let 
thy widows trust in me. 

12 For thus saith the Lord; Be- 
hold, they * whose judgment was 
not to drink of the cup have 
assuredly drunken; and art thou 
he that shall altogether go unpun- 
ished? thou shalt not go unpun- 
ished, but thou shalt surely drink 
of it. 

13 For q I have sworn by myself, 
saith the Lord, that r Bozrah shall 
become a desolation, a reproach, a 
waste, and a curse; and all the 
cities thereof shall be perpetual 
wastes. 

14 I have heard a s rumour from 
the Lord, and an ambassador is 
sent unto the heathen, saying, 
Gather ye together, and come 
against her, and rise up to the 
battle. 

15 For, lo, I will make thee small 
among the heathen, and despised 
among men. 

16 Thy terribleness hath deceived 
thee, and the pride of thine heart, 
thou that dwellest in the clefts 
of the rock, that holdest the height 
of the hill: though thou shouldest 
make thy * nest as high as the 
eagle, u I will bring thee down 
from thence, saith the Lord. 

17 Also Edom shall be a desola- 
tion: every v one that goeth by it 
shall be astonished, and shall hiss 
at all the plagues thereof. 

18 As l "in the overthrow of 
Sodom and Gomorrah, and the

Lord, no man shall abide there,

deep, ye inhabitants of Hazor, 
saith the Lord; for Nebuchadrez- 
zar king of Babylon hath taken 
counsel against you, and hath con- 
ceived a purpose against you. 

31 Arise, get you up unto the 
wealthy nation, 12 that dwelleth 
without care, saith the Lord, which 
have neither gates nor bars, which 
dwell m alone. 

32 And their camels shall be a 
booty, and the multitude of their 
cattle a spoil: and I will n seatter 
into all winds them ° that are ^ in 
the utmost corners ; and I will

thereof, saith the Lord. 

; 33 And Hazor p shall be a dwell- 
ing for dragons, and a desolation

there, nor any son of man dwell

34 \ The word of the Lord that 
came to Jeremiah the prophet 
against 2 Elam in the beginning 
of the reign of Zedekiah king of 
Judah, saying, 

35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
Behold, I will break r the bow of 
Elam, the chief of their might. 

36 And upon Elam will I bring 
the four winds from the four quar- 
ters of heaven, and will scatter 
them toward all those winds; and 
there shall be no nation whither 
the outcasts of Elam shall not 
come. 

37 For I will cause Elam to be 
dismayed before their enemies, 
and before them that seek their 
life; and I will bring evil upon 
them, even my fierce anger, saith 
the Lord; * and I will send the 
sword after them, till I have con- 
sumed them: 

38 And I will ' set my throne in 
Elam, and will destroy from thence 
the king and the princes, saith the 
Lord. 

39 ^ But it shall come to pass in 
the latter days, that I will bring 
again the captivity of Elam, saith 
the Lord.

3 For out of the north there cometh 
up a d nation against her, which 
shall make her land desolate, and 
none shall dwell therein: they 
shall remove, they shall depart, 
both man and beast. 

4 ^[ In those days, and in that 
time, saith the Lord, the children 
of Israel shall come, they e and the 
children of Judah together, i going 
and weeping: they shall go, g and 
seek the Lord their God. 

5 They shall ask the way to Zion, 
with their faces thitherward, say- 
ing, Come, and let us join ourselves 
to the Lord in h a perpetual cove- 
nant that shall not be forgotten. 

6 My people hath been lost sheep; 
their shepherds have caused them 
to go astray, they have turned 

: them away on the mountains: 
they have gone from mountain to 
hill, they have forgotten their 

3 resting-place. 

[ 7 All that found them have de- 
voured them; and * their adver- 
! saries said,.? We offend not, because 
' they have sinned against the Lord, 
1 the habitation of justice, even the 
Lord, * the hope of their fathers. 

8 Remove 'out of the midst of 
Babylon, and go forth out of the 
land of the Chaldeans, and be as 
the he-goats before the flocks. 

9 % For, lo, I will raise, and cause 
to come up against Babylon, an 
assembly of great nations from the 
north country: and they shall set 
themselves in array against her; 
from thence she shall be taken: 
their arrows shall be as of a mighty 

4 expert man; none shall return in 
vain. 

10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: 
all m that spoil her shall be satis- 
fied, saith the Lord.

ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine 
heritage, because ye are grown 

5 fat as the heifer at grass, and 

6 bellow as bulls; 

12 Your mother shall be sore 
confounded; she that bare you 
shall be ashamed: behold, the 
hindermost of the nations shall be 
a wilderness, a dry land, and a 
desert. 

13 Because of the wrath of the 
Lord it shall not be inhabited, but

be astonished, and hiss at all her 
plagues.

I will punish the king of Babylon 
and bis land, as I have punished 
the king of Assyria. 

19 And w I will bring Israel again 
to his habitation, and be shall 
feed on Carmel and Bashan, and 
his soul shall be satisfied upon 
mount Epbraim and Gilead. 

20 In those days, and in that 
time, saith tbe Lord, x the iniquity 
of Israel shall be sought for, and 
there shall be none; and the sins of 
Judah, and they shall not be 
found: for I will pardon y them 
whom I reserve. 

21 *ft Go up against the land 8 of

for her great iniquities. 



38 A 2 drought is upon her waters; 
and they shall be dried up: for it 
is the land of graven images, and 
they are mad upon their idols. 

39 Therefore r the wild beasts of 
the desert with the wild beasts of 
the islands shall dwell there, and 
the owls shall dwell therein: s and 
it shall be no more inhabited for 
ever; neither shall it be dwelt in 
from generation to generation. 

40 As { God overthrew Sodom 
and Gomorrah and the neighbour 
cities thereof, saith the Lord; so 
shall no man abide there, neither 
shall any son of man dwell therein. 

41 Behold, w a people shall come 
from the north, and a great na- 
tion, and many kings shall be 
raised up from the coasts of the 
earth. 

42 They " shall hold the bow and 
the lance: w they are cruel, and will 
not show mercy: their x voice shall 
roar bike the sea, and they shall 
ride upon horses, every one put in 
array, like a man to the battle, 
against thee, daughter of Baby- 
lon. 

43 The king of Babylon hath 
heard the report of them, and his 
hands waxed feeble : v anguish 
took hold of him, and pangs as of 
a woman in travail. 

44 Behold, he shall come up like 
a Hon from the swelling of Jordan 
unto the habitation of the strong: 
but I will make them suddenly 
run away from her: and who is a 
chosen man, that I may appoint 
over her? for who is like me? and 
who will 15 appoint me the time? 
and z who is that shepherd that 
will stand before me? 

45 Therefore hear ye ° the coun- 
sel of the Lord, that he hath taken 
against Babylon; and his purposes, 
that he hath purposed against the 
land of the Chaldeans: Surely * the 
least of the flock shall draw them 
out; surely he shall make their 
habitation desolate with them. 

46 At c the noise of the taking of

tions.

3 Against him that bendeth let

against him that lifteth himself up 
in his brigandine: and spare ye not 
her young men; destroy ye utterly 
all her host. 

4 Thus the slain shall fall in the 
land of the Chaldeans, d and they 
that are thrust through in her 
streets. 

5 For ' Israel hath not been for-

the Lord of hosts; though their 
land was filled with sin against 
the Holy One of Israel. 

6 Flee / out of the midst of Baby- 
lon, and deliver every man his 
soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; 
for this is the time of the Lord's 
vengeance; 9 he will render unto 
her a recompence. 

7 Babylon h hath been a golden 
cup in the Lord's hand, that 
made all the earth drunken: 
the * nations have drunken of her 
wine; therefore the nations i are 
mad. 

8 Babylon is suddenly k fallen and 
destroyed: ' howl for her; m take 
balm for her pain, if so be she may 
be healed. 

9 We would have healed Babylon, 
but she is not healed : forsake her, 
and n let us go every one into his 
own country; for her judgment 
reacheth unto heaven, and is lilted 
up even to the skies. 

10 The Lord ° hath brought forth 
our righteousness: come, and let 
us declare in Zion the work of the 
Lord our God. 

11 Make 2 bright the arrows; 
gather the shields: p the Lord hath 
raised up the spirit of the kings of 
the Medes: for his device is against 
Babylon, to destroy it; because it 
is the vengeance of the Lord, the 
vengeance of his temple. 

12 Set up q the standard upon the

15 He M hath made the earth by 
his power, he hath established 
the world by his wisdom, and hath 
stretched " out the heaven by his 
understanding. 

16 When he uttereth his voice,

19 The z Portion of Jacob is not

27 Set / ye up a standard in the 
land, blow the trumpet among

against her, call together against 
her the A kingdoms of Ararat, 
Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a

caterpillars. 

28 Prepare against her the na- 
tions with the kings of the Medes, 
the captains thereof, and all the 
rulers thereof, and all the land of 
his dominion. 

29 And the land shall tremble 
and sorrow: for every purpose of 
the Lord shall be performed 
against Babylon, * to make the 
land of Babylon a desolation with- 
out ah inhabitant. 

30 The mighty men of Babylon 
have forborne to fight, they have 
remained in their holds : their 
might hath failed; i they became 
as women: they have burned her 
dwelling-places; * her bars are 
broken. 

31 One l post shall run to meet 
another, and one messenger to 
meet another, to show the king of 
Babylon that his city is taken at 
one end, 

32 And that the passages are 
stopped, and the reeds they have 
burned with fire, and the men of 
war are affrighted. 

33 For thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel; The 
daughter of Babylon is like m a 
threshing-floor, 10 it is time to 
thresh her : yet a little while, 
and n the time of her harvest shall 
come. 

34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of 
Babylon hath ° devoured me, he 
hath crushed me, he hath made 
me an empty vessel, he hath swal- 
lowed me up like a dragon, he 
hath filled his belly with my deli- 
cates, he hath cast me out. 

35 u The violence done to me 
and to my 12 flesh be upon Babylon,

and, My blood upon the inhabit- 
ants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem

Behold, I p will plead thy cause, 
and take vengeance for thee; q and 
I will dry up her sea, and make 
her springs dry.

38 They shall roar together like 
lions; they shall u yell as lions' 
whelps. 

39 In their ' heat I will make 
their feasts, and I will make them 
drunken, that they may rejoice, 
and sleep a perpetual sleep, and 
not wake, saith the Lord. 

40 I will bring them down like 
lambs to the slaughter, like rams 
with he-goats. 

41 How is u Sheshach taken! and 
how is the v praise of the whole 
earth surprised! how is Babylon 
become an astonishment among 
the nations! 

42 The *° sea is come up upon 
Babylon: she is covered with the 
multitude of the waves thereof. 

43 Her cities are a desolation, a 
dry land, and a wilderness, a land 
wherein no man dwelleth, neither 
doth any son of man pass thereby. 

44 And * I will punish Bel in 
Babylon, and I will bring forth out 
of his mouth that which he hath 
swallowed up : and the nations 
shall not flow together any more 
unto him; yea, the wall of Babylon 
stiall fall. 

45 My y people, go ye out of the 
midst of her, and dehver ye every 
man his soul from the fierce anger 
of the Lord. 

46 And 15 lest your heart faint, 
and ye fear * for the rumour that 
shall be heard in the land; a ru- 
mour shall both come one year, and 
after that in another year shall come 
a rumour, and violence in the land, 
ruler against ruler. 

47 Therefore, behold, the days 
come, that I will 16 do judgment 
upon the graven images of Baby- 
lon; and her whole land shall be 
confounded, and all her slain shall 
fall in the midst of her. 

48 Then * the heaven and the 
earth, and all that is therein, shall 
sing for Babylon: for b the spoilers 
shall come unto her from the 
north, saith the Lord. 

49 17 As Babylon hath caused the 
slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon 
shall fall the slain of all " the 
earth. 

50 Ye c that have escaped the 
sword go away, stand not still: 
remember the Lord afar off, and 
let Jerusalem come into your mind.

52 Wherefore, behold, the days 
come, saith the Lord, that I will 
do judgment upon her graven 
images; and through all her land 
the wounded shall groan. 

53 Though c Babylon should 
mount up to heaven, and though 
she should fortify the height of 
her strength, yet from me shall 
spoilers come unto her, saith the 
Lord. 

54 A J sound of a cry cometh from 
Babylon, and great destruction 
from the land of the Chaldeans: 

55 Because the Lord hath spoiled 
Babylon, and destroyed out of her 
the great voice; when her waves 
do roar like great waters, a noise 
of their voice is uttered: 

56 Because the spoiler is come 
upon her, even upon Babylon, and 
her mighty men are taken; every 
one of their bows is broken: 9 for 
the Lord God of recompences shall 
surely requite. 

57 And I will make drunk her 
princes, and her wise men, her cap- 
tains, .and her rulers, and her 
mighty men: and they shall sleep 
a perpetual sleep, and not wake, 
saith h the King, whose name is 
The Lord of hosts. 

58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
19 The broad walls of Babylon shall 
be utterly 20 broken, and her high 
gates shall be burnt with fire; and 
the people * shall labour in vain, 
and the folk in the fire, and they 
shall be weary. 

59 ^1 The word which Jeremiah 
the prophet commanded Seraiah 
the son of Neriah, the son of 
Maaseiah, when he went 21 with 
Zedekiah the king of Judah into 
Babylon in the fourth year of his 
reign. And this Seraiah was a 
22 quiet prince. 

60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book 
all the evil that should come upon 
Babylon, even all these words that 
are written against Babylon. 

61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, 
When thou comest to Babylon, and 
shalt see, and shalt read all these 
words, 

62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, 
thou hast spoken against this place, 
to cut it off, that none i shall remain 
in it, neither man nor beast, but 
that it shall be ?? desolate for ever. 

63 And it shall be, when thou 
hast made an end of reading this 
book, h that thou shalt bind a stone

to it, and cast it into the midst of 
Euphrates: 

64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall 
Babylon sink, and shall not rise 
from the evil that I will bring 
upon her: and they shall be weary. 
Thus far are the words of Jeremiah. 

CHAPTER LU. 
1 Zedekiah rebels. 4 Jerusalem is besieged 

and taken. 8 Zedekiah's sons killed. 

24 The captives carried away. 

ZEDEKIAH was a one and 
twenty years old when he 
1 began to reign, and he reigned 
eleven years in Jerusalem. And 
his mother's name was Hamutal 
the daughter of Jeremiah of Lib- 
nah. 

2 And he did that which was evil 
in the eyes of the Lord, according 
to all that Jehoiakim had done. 

3 For through the anger of the 
Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem 
and Judah, till he had cast them 
out from his presence, that Zede- 
kiah b rebelled against the king of 
Babylon. 

4 ^ And it came to pass in c the 
ninth year of his reign, in the 
tenth month, in the tenth day of 
the month, that Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon came, he and all 
his army, against Jerusalem, and 
pitched d against it, and built forts 
against it round about. 

5 So the city was besieged unto 
the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 

6 And in the fourth month, in 
the ninth day of the month, 6 the 
famine was sore in the city, so that 
there was no bread for the people 
of the land. 

7 Then the city was broken up, 
and all the men of war fled, and 
went forth out of the city by night, 
by the way of the gate between 
the two walls, which was by the 
king's garden; (now the Chaldeans 
were by the city round about:) and 
they went by the way of the plain. 

8 But the army of the Chaldeans 
pursued after the king, and over- 
took Zedekiah in the plains of 
Jericho; and all his army was 
scattered from him. 

9 Then / they took the king, and 
carried him up unto the king of 
Babylon to Riblah in the land of 
Hamath; where he gave judgment 
upon him. 

10 And 9 the king of Babylon 
slew the sons of Zedekiah before 
his eyes: he slew also all the princes 
of Judah in Riblah. 

11 Then he 2 put out the eyes of

Zedekiah; and the king of Baby- 
lon bound him in 3 chains, and 
carried him to Babylon, and put 
him in 4 prison till the day of his 
death. 

12 If Now » in the fifth month, 
in the tenth day of the month, 
which was the nineteenth year of* 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 
came * Nebuzar-adan, 5 captain of 
the guard, which 6 served the king 
of Babylon, into Jerusalem, 

13 And i burned the house of the 
Lord, and the king's house; and 
all the houses of Jerusalem, and 
all the houses of the great men, 
burned he with fire. 

14 And all the army of the Chal- 
deans, that were with the captain 
of the guard, brake down all the 
walls of Jerusalem round about. 

15 Then Nebuzar-adan the cap- 
tain of the guard cairied away cap- 
tive certain of the poor of the people, 
and the residue of the people that 
remained in the city, and those 
that fell away, that fell to the king 
of Babylon, and the rest of the 
multitude. 

16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain 
of the guard left certain of the poor 
of the land for vine-dressers, and 
for husbandmen. 

17 Also k the pillars of brass that 
were in the house of the Lord, and 
the bases, and the brasen sea that 
was in the house of the Lord, the 
Chaldeans brake, and carried all 
the brass of them to Babylon. 

18 The l caldrons also, and the 

7 shovels, and the snuffers, and the 

8 bowls, and the spoons, and all 
the vessels of brass wherewith 
they ministered, took they away. 

19 And the basins, and the 9 fire- 
pans, and the bowls, and the cal- 
drons, and the candlesticks, and 
the spoons, and the cups; that 
which was of gold in gold, and that 
which was of silver in silver, took 
the captain of the guard away. 

20 The two pillars, one sea, and 
twelve brasen bulls that were under 
the bases, which king Solomon had 
made in the house of the Lord: 
10 the brass of all these vessels was 
without weight. 

21 And concerning the m pillars, the 
height of one pillar was eighteen 
cubits ; and a u fillet of twelve 
cubits did compass it; and the 
thickness thereof was four fingers; 
it was hollow. 

22 And a chapiter of brass was 
upon it; and the height of one 



Judah carried away 



JEREMIAH, LH. 



captive to Babylon. 



chapiter was five cubits, with net- 
work and pomegranates upon the 
chapiters round about, all of brass: 
the second pillar also and the 
pomegranates were like unto these. 

23 And there were ninety and 
six pomegranates on aside; n and 
all the pomegranates upon the net- 
work were an hundred round about. 

24 If And the captain of the 
guard took Seraiah ° the chief 
priest, p and Zephaniah the second 
priest, and the three keepers of 
the 12 door: 

25 He took also out of the city an 
eunuch, which had the charge of 
the men of war; and seven men of 
them that 13 were near the king's 
person, which were found in the 
city; and the u principal scribe of 
the host, who mustered the people 
of the land; and threescore men 
of the people of the land, that were 
found in the midst of the city. 

26 So Nebuzar-adan the captain 
of the guard took them, and 
brought them to the king of Baby- 
lon to Riblah. 

27 And the king of Babylon 
smote them, and put them to 
death in Riblah in the land of Ha- 
math. Thus g Judah was earned 
away captive out of his own land.

thousand Jews, and three and 
twenty: 

29 In 'the eighteenth year of 
Nebuchadrezzar he carried away 
captive from Jerusalem eight hun- 
dred thirty and two 15 persons: 

30 In the three and twentieth 
year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar- 
adan the captain of the guard 
carried away captive of the Jews 
seven hundred forty and five per- 
sons: all the persons were four 
thousand and six hundred. 

31 U And u it came to pass in the 
seven and thirtieth year of the 
captivity of Jehoiachin king of 
Judah, in the twelfth month, in 
the five and twentieth day of the 
month, that Evil-merodach king 
of Babylon in the first year of 
his reign lifted " up the head of 
Jehoiachin king of Judah, and 
brought him forth out of prison, 

32 And spake 16 kindly unto him, 
and set his throne above the 
throne of the kings that were with 
him in Babylon, 

33 And changed his prison gar- 
ments: and w he did continually 
eat bread before him all the days 
of his life. 

34 And for his diet, there was a 
continual diet given him of the 
king of Babylon, 17 every day a 
portion until the day of his death,

1 Jerusalem's misery for her sins: 12 she 
bemoans her afflictions, 18 and confesses 
Ood's judgments to be just. 

HOW doth the city sit solitary

she become as a widow! she that 
was great among the nations, and 
princess h among the provinces, 
how is she become tributary! 

2 She c weepeth sore in d the 
night, and her tears are on her 
cheeks: ° among all her lovers she 
hath none to comfort her: aD her 
friends have dealt treacherously 
with her, they are become her 
enemies.

4 The ways of Zion do mourn, 
because none come to the solemn 
feasts: all her gates are desolate: 
her priests sigh, her virgins are 
afflicted, and she is in bitterness. 

5 Her adversaries are the chief, 
her enemies prosper; for the Lord 
hath afflicted her ft for the multi- 
tude of her transgressions : her 
children are gone into captivity 
before the enemy. 

6 And from the daughter of Zion 
all her beauty is departed: her

find no pasture, and they are gone 
without strength before the pur- 
suer.

miseries all her 2 pleasant things 
that she had in the days of old, 
when her people fell into the hand 
of the enemy, and none did help 
her: the adversaries * saw her, and 
did mock at her sabbaths. 

8 Jerusalem hath grievously 
sinned; therefore she 3 is removed: 
all that honoured her despise her, 
because^' they have seen her naked- 
ness; yea, she sigheth, and turneth 
backward. 

9 Her filthiness is in her skirts; 
she * remembereth not her last 
end; therefore she came down 
wonderfully: she had no com- 
forter. Lord, behold my afflic- 
tion; for the enemy hath magnified 
himself. 

10 The adversary hath spread 
out his hand upon all her 4 pleasant 
things: for she hath seen that the 
heathen entered into her sanctu- 
ary, whom thou didst command 
that l they should not enter into 
thy congregation. 

11 All her people sigh, '"they 
seek bread; they have given their 
pleasant things for meat & to re- 
lieve the soul: see, Lord, and 
consider; for I am become vile. 

12 % 6 Is it nothing to you, all ye 
that 7 pass by? behold, and see n if 
there be any sorrow like unto my 
sorrow, which is done unto me, 
wherewith the Lord hath afflicted 
me in the day of his fierce anger. 

13 From above hath he sent fire 
into my bones, and it prevaileth 
against them: he hath ° spread a 
net for my feet; he hath turned 
me back; he hath made me deso- 
late and faint all the day. 

14 The p yoke of my transgressions 
is bound by his hand; they are 
wreathed, and come up upon my 
neck: he hath made my strength 
to fall; the Lord hath delivered 
me into their hands, from whom I 
am not able to rise up. 

15 The Lord hath trodden under 
foot all my mighty men in the 
midst of me: he hath called an 
assembly against me to crush my 
young men: 2 the Lord hath trod- 
den 8 the virgin, the daughter of 
Judah, as in a wine-press. 

16 For these' things I weep; mine 
eye, mine eye runneth down with 
water, because the comforter that 
should 9 relieve my soul is far from 
me: my children are desolate, be- 
cause the enemy prevailed.

CHAPTER IL 

1 Jeremiah Laments Jerusalem's misery: 
20 he complains thereof to God. 

HOW hath the Lord covered 
the daughter of Zion with a 
cloud in his anger, and a cast down 
from heaven unto the earth b the 
beauty of Israel, and remembered 
not c his footstool in the day of his 
anger! 

2 The Lord hath swallowed up 
all the habitations of Jacob, and 
hath not pitied: he hath thrown 
down in his wrath the strong holds 
of the daughter of Judah; he hath 

1 brought them down to the 
ground : he d hath polluted the 
kingdom and the princes thereof. 

3 He hath cut off in his fierce 
anger all the e horn of Israel: * he 
hath drawn back his right hand 
from before the enemy, and he 
burned against Jacob like a flam- 
ing fire, which devoureth round 
about. 

4He s hath bent his bow like an 
enemy: he stood with his right 
hand as an adversary, and slew 

2 all that were pleasant to the eye 
in the tabernacle of the daughter

of Zion: he poured out his fury like 
fire. 

5 The Lord was as an enemy: he 
hath swallowed up Israel, h he 
hath swallowed up all her palaces: 
he hath destroyed his strong holds, 
and hath increased in the daugh- 
ter of Judah mourning and lamen- 
tation. 

6 And he hath violently * taken 
away his 3 tabernacle, as-? if it were 
of a garden: he hath destroyed his 
places of the assembly : the k Lord 
hath caused the solemn feasts and 
sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, 
and hath despised in the indigna- 
tion of his anger the king and the 
priest. 

7 The Lord hath l cast off his 
altar, he hath abhorred his sanc- 
tuary, he hath 4 given up into the 
hand of the enemy the walls of her 
palaces; m they have made a noise 
in the house of the Lord, as in the 
day of a solemn feast. 

8 The Lord hath purposed to 
destroy the wall of the daughter 
of Zion: '* he hath stretched out a 
line, he hath not withdrawn his 
hand from 6 destroying: therefore 
he made the rampart and the wall 
to lament;they languished together. 

9 Her gates are sunk into the 
ground; he hath destroyed and 
broken her bars: ° her king and 
her princes are among the Gen- 
tiles: p the law is no more; q her 
prophets also find no vision from 
the Lord. 

1 The elders of the daughter of 
Zion sit r upon the ground, and 
keep silence: they have cast up 
dust upon their heads; they have 
girded themselves with sackcloth: 
the virgins of Jerusalem hang 
down their heads to the ground. 

11 Mine s eyes do fail with tears, 
my bowels are troubled, * my liver 
is poured upon the earth, for the 
destruction of the daughter of my 
people; because the children and 
the sucklings 6 swoon in the streets 
of the city. 

12 They say to their mothers, 
Where is corn and wine ? when 
they swooned as the wounded in 
the streets of the city, when their 
soul was poured out into their 
mothers' bosom. 

13 What thing shall I take to 
witness for thee ? u what thing 
shall I liken to thee, daughter 
of Jerusalem? what shall I equal 
to thee, that I may comfort thee, 
virgin daughter of Zion? for thy

breach is great like the sea; who 
can heal thee? 

14 Thy prophets have seen vain 
and foolish things for thee; and 
they have not discovered 1 thine 
iniquity, to turn away thy captiv- 
ity; but have seen for thee false 
burdens, and causes of banish- 
ment. 

15 All u that pass ' by clap their 
hands at thee; they hiss and wag 
their head at the daughter of 
Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city 
that men call x The perfection of 
beauty, The joy of the whole earth? 

16 Ah thine enemies have opened 
their mouth against thee: they 
hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, 
We y have swallowed her up: cer- 
tainly this is the day that we looked 
for; we have found, f we have seen 
it. 

17 The Lord hath done that 
which he had a devised; he hath 
fulfilled his word that he had 
commanded in the days of old: he 
hath thrown down, and hath not 
pitied: and he hath caused thine 
enemy to b rejoice over thee, he 
hath set up the horn of thine 
adversaries. 

18 Their heart cried unto the 
Lord, O wall of the daughter of 
Zion, c let tears run down like a 
river day and night: give thyself 
no rest; let not the apple of thine 
eye cease. 

19 Arise, cry out in the night; in 
the beginning of d the watches 
pour e out thine heart like water 
before the face of the Lord: lift up 
thy hands toward him for the 
life of thy young children, that 
faint for hunger /in the top of 
every street. 

20 Behold, O Lord, and consider 
to 9 whom thou hast done this. 
Shall A the women eat their fruit, 
and children s of a span long ? 
shall * the priest and the prophet 
be slain in the sanctuary of the 
Lord? 

21 The i young and the old lie on 
the ground in the streets: my vir- 
gins and my young men are fallen 
by the sword; thou hast slain them 
in the day of thine anger; thou 
hast killed, and not pitied. 

22 Thou hast called as in a solemn 
day my * terrors round about, so 
that in the day of the Lord's 
anger none escaped nor remained: 
those l that I have swaddled and 
brought up hath mine enemy con- 
sumed.

his own calamities. 



CHAPTER III. 

1 The prophet betvails his own calamities: 
37 his humble confession of sins. 

I AM the man that hath seen 
affliction by the rod of his 
wrath. 

2 He hath led me, and brought 
me into darkness, but not into 
light. 

3 Surely against me is he turned; 
he turneth his hand against me all 
the day. 

4 My flesh and my skin hath he 
made old; he hath broken my 
bones. 

5 He hath builded against me, 
and compassed me with gall and 
travail. 

6 He a hath set me in dark places, 
as they that be dead of old. 

7 He hath hedged me about, that 
I cannot get out: he hath made 
my chain heavy. 

8 Also b when I cry and shout, he 
shutteth out my prayer. 

9 He hath inclosed my ways with 
hewn stone; he hath made my 
paths crooked. 

10 He c was unto me as a bear 
lying in wait, and as a lion in 
secret places. 

11 He hath turned aside my ways, 
and pulled d me in pieces: he hath 
made me desolate. 

12 He hath bent his bow, and 
set e me as a mark for the arrow. 

13 He hath caused the l arrows of 
his quiver to enter into my reins. 

14 I was a derision J" to all my 
people, and their song all the day. 

15 He hath g tilled me with 2 bit- 
terness, he hath made me drunken 
with wormwood. 

16 He hath also broken my teeth 
with h gravel stones, he hath 

3 covered me with ashes. 

17 And thou hast removed my 
soul far off from peace: I forgat 

4 prosperity. 

18 And i I said, My strength and 
my hope is perished from the 
Lord: 

19 5 Remembering mine affliction 
and my misery, the wormwood 
and the gall. 

20 My soul hath them still in re- 
membrance, and is 6 humbled in 
me. 

21 This I 7 recall to my mind, 
therefore have I hope. 

22 ^ It J is of the Lord's mercies 
that we are not consumed, because 
his compassions fail not.

great is l thy faithfulness.

24 The Lord is my m portion, saith 
my soul; therefore will I hope in 
him. 

25 The Lord is good unto them 
that n wait for him, to the soul 
that seeketh him. 

26 It is good that a man should 
both hope and ° quietly wait for 
the salvation of the Lord. 

27 It p is good for a man that he 
bear the yoke in his youth. 

28 He q sitteth alone and keepeth 
silence, because he hath bome it 
upon him. 

29 He r putteth his mouth in the 
dust, if so be there may be hope. 

30 He * giveth his cheek to him 
that smiteth him: he is filled full 
with reproach. 

31 For * the Lord will not cast off 
for ever: 

32 But though he cause grief, yet 
will he have compassion according 
to the multitude of his mercies. 

33 For w he doth not afflict 8 wil- 
lingly nor grieve the children of 
men. 

34 To crush under his feet all the 
prisoners of the earth, 

35 To turn aside the right of a 
man before the face of 9 the Most 
High, 

36 To subvert a man in his cause, 
the " Lord 10 approveth not. 

37 f Who is he w that saith, and 
it cometh to pass, when the Lord 
commandeth it not? 

38 Out of the mouth of the Most 
High proceedeth not * evil and 
good? 

39 Wherefore doth a living man 
11 complain, y a man for the pun- 
ishment of his sins? 

40 Let z us search and try our 
ways, and turn again to the Lord. 

41 Let a us lift up our heart 
with our hands unto God in the 
heavens. 

42 We h have transgressed and 
have rebelled: thou hast not par- 
doned. 

43 Thou hast covered with anger, 
and persecuted us: thou hast slain, 
thou hast not pitied. 

44 Thou hast covered thyself 
with a cloud, that our prayer 
should not pass through. 

45 Thou hast made us as c the 
off-scouring and refuse in the 
midst of the people. 

46 All our enemies have opened 
their mouths against us. 

47 Fear and a snare is come upon 
us, desolation and destruction.

57 Thou k drewest near in the

4 The e tongue of the sucking 
child cleaveth to the roof of his 
mouth for thirst: the young chil- 
dren ask bread, and no man 
breaketh it unto them. 

5 They that did feed delicately are 
desolate in the streets: they that 
were brought up in scarlet d em- 
brace dunghills. 

6 For the 2 punishment of the 
iniquity of the daughter of my 
people is greater than the punish- 
ment of the sin of Sodom, that was 
overthrown e as in a moment, and 
no hands stayed on her. 

7 Her 3 Nazarites were purer than 
snow, they were whiter than milk, 
they were more ruddy in body 
than rubies, then polishing was of 
sapphire: 

8 Their visage is * blacker than a 
coal; they are not known in the 
streets: * their skin cleaveth to 
their bones; it is Avithered, it is 
become like a stick. 

9 They that be slain with the sword 
are better than they that be slain 
with hunger : for these 6 pine 
away, stricken through for want of 
the fruits of the field. 

10 The 9 hands of the pitiful 
women have sodden their own 
children: they were their meat in 
the destruction of the daughter of 
my people. 

11 The Lord hath accomplished 
his fury; he hath poured out his 
fierce anger, and hath h kindled a 
fire in Zion, and it hath devoured 
the foundations thereof. 

12 The kings of the earth, and 
all * the inhabitants of the world, 
would not have believed that the 
adversary and the enemy should 
have entered into the gates of 
Jerusalem. 

13 For > the sins of her prophets, 
and the iniquities of her priests, 
that k have shed the blood of the 
just in the midst of her, 

14 They have wandered as blind 
men in the streets, { they have pol- 
luted themselves with blood, 6 so 
that men could not touch their 
garments. 

15 They cried unto them, Depart 
ye; 7 it is unclean; depart, depart, 
touch not: when they fled away 
and wandered, they said among 
the heathen, They shall no more 
sojourn there.

favoured not the elders. 

17 As for us, n our eyes as yet 
failed for our vain help: in our 
watching we have watched for a 
nation that could not save us. 

18 They ° hunt our steps, that we 
cannot go in our streets: our end 
is near, our days are fulfilled; p for 
our end is come. 

19 Our persecutors are swifter

tains, they laid wait for us in 9 the

said, Under his shadow we shall

through unto thee; thou shalt be

NOW it came to pass in a the 
thirtieth year, in the fourth

i 2 In the fifth day of the month,, 
which was the fifth year of king 
Jehoiachin's captivity, 

3 The c word of the Lord came 
expressly unto 2 Ezekiel the priest, 
the son of Buzi, in the land of the 
Chaldeans, by the river Chebar; 
and d the hand of the Lord was 
there upon him. 

4 ^ And I looked, and, behold^ 



EzekieVs vision 



EZEKIEL, I. 



of the cherubim and wheels. 



a e whirlwind came / out of the 
north, a great cloud, and a fire 
3 infolding itself, and a brightness 
was about it, and out of the midst 
thereof as the colour of amber, out 
of the midst of the fire. 

5 Also 9 out of the midst thereof 
came the likeness of four living 
creatures. And this h was their 
appearance; they had the likeness 
of a man. 

6 And every one had four faces, 
and every one had four wings. 

7 And their feet were 4 straight 
feet; and the sole of their feet was 
like the sole of a calf's foot: and 
they sparkled * like the colour of 
burnished brass. 

8 And 4 they had the hands of a 
man under their wings on their 
four sides; and they four had their 
faces and their wings. 

9 Their wings were joined one to 
another; they turned not when 
they went; they went every one 
straight forward. 

10 As for * the likeness of their 
faces, they four l had the face of a 
man, and the face of a lion on the 
right side; and they four had the 
face of an ox on the left side; 
they four also had the face of an 
eagle. 

11 Thus were their faces : and 
their wings were 5 stretched up- 
ward; two wings of every one were 
joined one to another, and m two 
covered their bodies. 

12 And they went every one 
straight forward: whither the 
spirit was to go, they went; and 
they turned not when they went. 

13 As for the likeness of the living 
creatures, their appearance was 
like burning coals of fire, n and like 
the appearance of lamps: it went 
up and down among the living 
creatures; and the fire was bright, 
and out of the fire went forth 
lightning. 

14 And the living creatures ° ran 
and returned as the appearance 
of a p flash of lightning. 

15 ^ Now as 1 beheld the living- 
creatures, behold ff one wheel upon 
the earth by the living creatures, 
with his four faces. 

16 The r appearance of the wheels 
and their work was s like unto the 
colour of a beryl: and they four 
had one likeness : and their ap- 
pearance and their work was as it 
were a wheel in the middle of a 
wheel.

| upon their four sides; and they 

turned not when they went 
j 18 As for their rings, they were 

so high that they were dreadful; 

and their 6 rings were f full of eyes 

round about them four. 

19 And " when the living crea- 
tures went, the wheels went by 
them; and when the living crea- 
tures were lifted up from the earth, 
the wheels were lifted up. 

20 Whithersoever the spirit was 
to go, they went, thither was their 
spirit to go; and the wheels were 
lifted up over against them: for 
the spirit 7 of the living creature 
was in the wheels. 

21 When those went, these went; 
and when those stood, these stood; 
and when those were lifted up 
from the earth, the wheels were 
lifted up over against them: for the 
spirit 8 of the living creature was 
in the wheels. 

22 And v the likeness of the fir- 
mament upon the heads of the 
living creature was as the colour of 
the terrible crystal, stretched forth 
over their heads above. 

23 And under the firmament 
were their wings straight, the one 
toward the other: every one had 
two, which covered on this side, 
and every one had two, which 
covered on that side, their bodies. 

24 And w when they went, I 
heard the noise of their wings, 
like * the noise of great waters, as 
the v voice of the Almighty, the 
voice of speech, as the noise of an 
host: when they stood, they let 
down their wings. 

25 And there was a voice from 
the firmament that was over their 
heads, when they stood, and had 
let down their wings. 

26 ^ And z above the firmament 
that was over their heads was the 
likeness of a throne, ° as the ap- 
pearance of a sapphire stone: and 
upon the likeness of the throne 
was the likeness 6 as the appear- 
ance of a man above upon it. 

27 And c I saw as the colour of 
amber, as the appearance of fire 
round about within it, from the 
appearance of his loins even up- 
ward, and from the appearance of 
his loins even downward, I saw 
as it were the appearance of Are, 
and it had brightness round 
about. 

28 As «*the appearance of the 
bow that is in the cloud in the 
day of rain, so was the appearance

of the brightness round about. 
This 6 was the appearance of the 
likeness of the glory of the Lord. 
And when I saw it, f I fell upon 
my face, and I heard a voice of 
one that spake.

before him. 

AND he said unto me, Son of 
man, a stand upon thy feet, 
and I will speak unto thee. 

2 And b the spirit entered into 
me when he spake unto me, and 
set me upon my feet, that I heard 
him that spake unto me. 

3 And he said unto me, Son of 
man, I send thee to the children 
of Israel, to a rebellious 1 nation 
that hath rebelled against me: 
they c and their fathers have trans- 
gressed against me, even unto this 
very day. 

4 For d they are 2 impudent chil- 
dren, and stiff-hearted. I do send 
thee unto them; and thou shalt 
say unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God. 

5 And f they, whether they will 
hear, or whether they will forbear, 
(for they are a rebellious house,) 
yet f shall know that there hath 
been a prophet among them. 

6 *f And thou, son of man, g be 
not afraid of them, neither be 
afraid of their words, though 
3 briers and thorns be with thee, 
and thou dost dwell among scor- 
pions: ft be not afraid of their 
words, nor be dismayed at their 
looks, * though they be a rebellious 
house. 

7 And i thou shalt speak my 
words unto them, whether they 
will hear, or whether they will 
forbear; for they are 4 most rebel- 
lious. 

8 But thou, son of man, hear what 
I say unto thee; Be not thou re- 
bellious like that rebellious house: 
open thy mouth, and * eat that I 
give thee. 

9 *ff And when I looked, behold, 
an l hand was sent unto me; and, 
lo, m a roll of a book was therein; 

10 And he spread it before me : 
and it was written within and 
without: and there was written 
therein lamentations, and mourn- 
ing, and n woe.

findest; a eat this roll, and go speak 
unto the house of Israel. 

2 So I opened my mouth, and he 
caused me to eat that roll 

3 And he said unto me, Son of 
man, cause thy belly to eat, and 
fill thy bowels with this roll that I 
give thee. Then did I b eat it; 
and it was in my mouth as honey 
for sweetness. 

4 *j[ And he said unto me, Son of 
man, go, get thee unto the house 
of Israel, and speak with my words 
unto them. 

5 For thou art not sent to a peo- 
ple l of a strange speech and of an 
hard language, but to the house of 
Israel; 

6 Not to many people 2 of a 
strange speech and of an hard 
language, whose words thou canst 
not understand: 3 surely, had I 
sent thee to them, they would have 
hearkened unto thee. 

7 But the house of Israel will not 
hearken unto thee; c for they will 
not hearken unto me: for all the 
house of Israel are i impudent and 
hard-hearted. 

8 Behold, I have made thy face 
strong against their faces, and thy 
forehead strong against their fore- 
heads. 

9 As d an adamant harder than 
flint have I made thy forehead: 
fear them not, neither be dismayed 
at their looks, though they be a 
rebellious house. 

10 Moreover he said unto me, 
Son of man, all my words that I 
shall speak unto thee receive in 
thine heart, and hear with thine 
ears. 

11 And go, get thee to them of 
the captivity, unto the children of 
thy people, and speak unto them, 
and tell them, Thus saith the Lord 
God, whether they will hear, or 
whether they will forbear. 

12 Then e the spirit took me up, 
and I heard behind me a voice of 
a great rushing, saying, Blessed be 
the glory of the Lokd from his 
place. 

13 / heard also the noise of the 
wings of the living creatures that 
5 touched one another, and the 
noise of the wheels over against 
them, and a noise of a great rush- 
ing. 

14 So the spirit lifted me up, and 
took me away, and I went 6 in 
bitterness, in the 7 heat of my 
spirit; but / the hand of the Lord 
was strong upon me. 



The rule of prophecy. 



EZEKIEL, IV. 



Type of a siege. 



15 ^f Then I came to them of the 
captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt 
by the river of Chebar, and 9 I sat 
where they sat, and remained 
there astonished among them 
seven days. 

16 And it came to pass at the 
end of seven days, that the word 
of the Lord came unto me, say- 
ing, 

17 Son of man, I have made thee 
a h watchman unto the house of 
Israel: therefore hear the word at 
my mouth, and give them warn- 
ing from me. 

18 When I say unto the wicked, 
Thou shalt surely die; and thou 
givest him not warning, nor speak- 
est to warn the wicked from his 
wicked way, * to save his life; the 
same wicked man i shall die in his 
iniquity; but his blood will I re- 
quire at thine hand. 

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, 
and he turn not from his wicked- 
ness, nor from his wicked way, he 
shall die in his iniquity; but 4 thou 
hast delivered thy soul. 

20 Again, When a : righteous man 
doth turn from his 8 righteousness, 
and commit iniquity, and I lay a 
stumblingblock before him, he 
shall die: because thou hast not 
given him warning, he shall die 
in his sin, and his righteousness 
which he hath done shall not be 
remembered; but his blood will I 
require at thine hand. 

21 Nevertheless if thou warn the 
righteous man, that the righteous 
sin not, and he doth not sin, he 
shall surely r " live, because he is 
warned; also n thou hast delivered 
thy soul. 

22 % And the hand of the Loed 
was there upon me; and he said 
unto me, Arise, go forth into ° the 
plain, and I will there talk with 
thee. 

23 Then I arose, and went forth 
into the plain: and, behold, p the 
glory of the Lord stood there, as 
the glory which I q saw by the 
river of Chebar: and I fell on my 
face. 

24 Then r the spirit entered into 
me, and set me upon my feet, and 
spake with me, and said unto me, 
(jo, shut thyself within thine 
house. 

25 But thou, son of man, be- 
hold, ' they shall put bands upon 
thee, and shall bind thee with 
them, and thou shalt not go out 
among them:

let him hear; and he that forbear- 
eth, let him forbear: w for they are 
a rebellious house. 

CHAPTER IV. 

By the type of a siege is showed the time 
from Jeroboam's defection to the cap- 
tivity. 

THOU also, son of man, take 
thee a tile, and lay it before 
thee, and pourtray upon it the 
city, even Jerusalem: 

2 And lay siege against it, and 
build a fort against it, and cast a 
mount against it; set the camp 
also against it, and set J battering- 
rams against it round about. 

3 Moreover take thou unto thee 

2 an iron pan, and set it for a wall 
of iron between thee and the city; 
and set thy face against it, and it 
shall be besieged, and thou shalt 
lay siege against it. a This shall 
be a sign to the house of Israel. 

4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, 
and lay the iniquity of the house 
of Israel upon it: according to the 
number of the days that thou shalt 
lie upon it thou shalt bear their 
iniquity. 

5 For I have laid upon thee the 
years of their iniquity, according 
to the number of the days, 3 three 
hundred and ninety days : 6 so 
shalt thou bear the iniquity of the 
house of Israel. 

6 And when thou hast accom- 
plished them, he again on thy 
right side, and thou shalt bear the 
iniquity of the house of Judah forty 
days: I have appointed thee 4 each 
day for a year. 

7 Therefore thou shalt set thy 
face toward the siege of Jerusalem, 
and thine arm shall be uncovered, 
and thou shalt prophesy against 
it. 

8 And, c behold, I will lay bands 
upon thee, and thou shalt not turn 
thee 5 from one side to another, 
till thou hast ended the days of 
thy siege. 

9 *i[ Take thou also unto thee 
wheat, and bailey, and beans, and 
lentiles, and millet, and 6 fitches, 
and put them in one vessel, and

make thee bread thereof, according 
to the number of the days that 
thou shalt lie upon thy side; three 
hundred and ninety days shalt 
thou eat thereof. 

10 And thy meat which thou 
shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty 
shekels a day: from time to time 
shalt thou eat it. 

11 Thou shalt drink also water by 
measure, the sixth part of an hin: 
from time to time shalt thou 
drink. 

12 And thou shalt eat it as barley 
cakes, and thou shalt bake it with 
dung that cometh out of man, in 
their sight. 

13 And the Lord said, Even thus 
shall the d children of Israel eat 
their defiled bread among the 
Gentiles, whither I will drive 
them. 

14 Then said I, e Ah Lord God! 
behold, my soul hath not been 
polluted; for from my youth up, 
even till now, have 1 t not eaten 
of that which dieth of itself, or is 
torn in pieces: neither came there 
abominable 9 flesh into my 
mouth. 

15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I 
have given thee cow's dung for 
man's dung, and thou shalt pre- 
pare thy bread therewith. 

16 Moreover he said unto me, 
Son of man, behold, I will break 
the h staff of bread in Jerusalem: 
and they shall * eat bread by 
weight, and with care; and they 
shall drink water by measure, and 
with astonishment: 

17 That they may want bread 
and water, and be astonied one 
with another, and consume J away 
for their iniquity. 

CHAPTER Y. 
1 Under the type of liuir is showed the 
judgment of Jerusalem for rebellion, 12 
by famine, sword, and dispersion. 

AND thou, son of man, take thee 
a sharp knife, take thee a 
barber's razor, "and cause it to 
pass upon thine head and upon 
thy beard: then take thee bal- 
ances to weigh, and divide the 
hair. 
2 Thou shalt burn with fire a 
third part in the midst of 6 the 
city, when the days of the siege 
are fulfilled; and thou shalt take 
a third part, and smite about it 
with a knife ; and a third part 
thou shalt scatter in the wind; 
and I will draw out a sword after 
them,

3 Thou ° shalt also take thereof

in thy * skirts. 

4 Then take of them again, and 
cast d them into the midst of the 
fire, and burn them in the fire; 
for thereof shall a fire come forth 
into all the house of Israel. 

5 ij Thus saith the Lord God; 
This is Jerusalem: I have set it in j 
the midst of the nations and coun- i 
tries that are round about her. 

6 And she hath 6 changed my j 
judgments into wickedness more j 
than the nations, and my statutes \ 
more than the countries that are \ 
round about her; for they have 
refused my judgments and my 
statutes, they have not walked in 
them. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Because ye multiplied more 
than the nations that are round 
about you, and have not walked in 
my statutes, neither have kept my 
judgments, neither have done 
according to the /judgments of the 
nations that are round about you; 

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I, even I, am against 
thee, and will execute judgments 
in the midst of thee in the sight of 
the nations. 

9 And 9 I will do in thee that 
which I have not done, and where- 
unto I will not do any more the 
like, because of all thine abomina- 
tions. 

10 Therefore the fathers h shall 
eat the sons in the midst of thee, 
and the sons shall eat their fathers; 
and I will execute judgments in 
thee, and the whole remnant of 
thee will I * scatter into all the 
winds. 

11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the 
Lord God; Surely, because thou 
hast i defiled my sanctuary with 
all thy * detestable things, and 
with all thine abominations, there- 
fore will I also diminish thee; 
neither shall mine eye spare, nei- 
ther will I have any pity. 

12 % A l third part of thee shall 
die with the pestilence, and with 
famine shall they be consumed in 
the midst of thee; and a third part 
shall fall by the sword round about 
thee; and m I will scatter a third 
part into all the winds, and n I will 
draw out a sword after them. 

13 Thus shall mine anger ° be 
accomplished, and I will cause my 
fury to rest upon them, p and I 
will be comforted: and they shall

know that I the Lord have spoken 
it in my zeal, when I have accom- 
plished my fury in them. 

14 Moreover 2 I will make thee 
waste, and a reproach among the 
nations that are round about 
thee, in the sight of all that pass 
by. 

15 So it shall be a r reproach and 
a taunt, an s instruction and an 
astonishment unto the nations 
that are round about thee, when I 
shall execute judgments in thee in 
anger and in fury and in * furious 
rebukes. I the Lord have spoken 
it. 

1 6 When I shall u send upon them 
the evil arrows of famine, which 
shall be for their destruction, and 
which I will send to destroy you : 
and I will increase the famine upon 
you, and will break your staff of 
bread: 

17 So willl send upon you famine 
and evil " beasts, and they shall 
bereave thee; and "'pestilence and 
blood shall pass through thee; and 
I will bring the sword upon thee. 
I the Lord have spoken it.

3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel,

that ye may have some that shall 
escape the sword among the na- 
tions, when ye shall be scattered 
through the countries. 

9 And they that escape of you 
shall remember me among the 
nations whither they shall be car- 
ried captives, because * I am 
broken with their whorish heart, 
which hath departed from me, 
and / with their eyes, which go a 
whoring after their idols: 9 and 
they shall loathe themselves for 
the evils which they have com- 
mitted in all their abominations. 

10 And they shall know that I 
am the Lord, and that I have not 
said in vain that I would do this 
evil unto them. 

11 If Thus saith the Lord God; 
Smite with h thine hand, and 
stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas 
for all the evil abominations of 
the house of Israel! * for they shall 
fall by the sword, by the famine, 
and by the pestilence. 

12 He that is far off shall die of 
the pestilence; and he that is near 
shall fall by the sword; and he 
that remaineth and is besieged 
shall die by the famine: thus will 
I accomplish my fury upon them. 

13 Then shall ye know that I am 
the Lord, when their slain men 
shall be among their idols round 
about their altars, f upon every 
high hill, * in all the tops of the 
mountains, and l under every 
green tree, and under every thick 
oak, the place where they did offer 
sweet savour to all their idols. 

14 So will I m stretch out my 
hand upon them, and make the 
land desolate; yea, 4 more desolate 
than the wilderness toward n Dib- 
lath, in all then* habitations: and 
they shall know that I am the 
Lord.

thee, neither will I have pity: but 
I will recompense thy ways upon 
thee, and thine abominations shall 
be in the midst of thee; and e ye 
shall know that I am the Lord. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God; An 
evil, an only evil, behold, is come. 

6 An end is come, the end is 
come: it 2 watcheth for thee; be- 
hold, it is come. 

7 The morning is come unto thee, 
thou that dwellest in the land: 
the d time is come, the day of 
trouble is near, and not the 3 sound- 
ing again of the mountains. 

8 Now will I shortly 6 pour out 
my fury upon thee, and accomplish 
mine anger upon thee; and I will 
judge thee according to thy ways, 
and will recompense thee for all 
thine abominations. 

9 And mine eye shall not spare, 
neither will I have pity: I will 
recompense 4 thee according to 
thy ways and thine abominations 
that are in the midst of thee; and 
ye shall know that I am the Lord 
that smiteth. 

10 Behold the day, behold, it is 
come; the morning is gone forth; 
the rod hath blossomed, pride 
hath budded. 

11 Violence t is risen up into a 
rod of wickedness: none of them 
shall remain, nor of their 5 multi- 
tude, nor of any of 6 theirs; neither 
shall 9 there be wailing for them. 

12 The time is come, the day 
draweth near: let not the buyer 
rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for 
wrath is upon all the multitude 
thereof. 

13 For the seller shall not return 
to that which is sold, 7 although 
they were yet alive: for the vision 
is touching the whole multitude 
thereof, which shall not return; nei- 
ther shall any strengthen hims elf 
8 in 9 the iniquity of his life. 

14 They have blown the trumpet, 
even to make all ready; but none 
goeth to the battle: for my wrath 
is upon all the multitude thereof. 

15 The A sword is without, and 
the pestilence and the famine 
within: he that is in the field shall 
die with the sword; and he that is 
in the city, famine and pestilence 
shall devour him. 

16 ^ But * they that escape of them 
shall escape, and shall be on the 
mountains like doves of the val- 
leys, all of them mourning, every 
one for his iniquity.

Judah sat before me, that the

hand of the Lord God fell there 
upon me. 

2 Then a I beheld, and, lo, a like- 
ness as the appearance of fire : 
from the appearance of his loins 
even downward, fire; and from 
his loins even upward, as the ap- 
pearance of brightness, as the 
colour of amber. 

3 And he b put forth the form of 
an hand, and took me by a lock 
of mine head; and the spirit lifted 
me up between the earth and the 
heaven, and c brought me in the 
visions of God to Jerusalem, to the 
door d of the inner gate that look- 
eth toward the north; where e was 
the seat of the image of jealousy, 
which / provoketh to jealousy. 

4 And, behold, the glory of the 
God of Israel was there, according 
to the vision that I 9 saw in the 
plain. 

5 f Then said he unto me, Son of 
man, lift up thine eyes now the 
way toward the north. So I lifted 
up mine eyes the way toward the 
north, and, behold, northward at 
the gate of the altar this image of 
jealousy in the entry. 

6 He said furthermore unto me, 
Son of man, seest thou what they 
do? even the great a abominations 
that the house of Israel committeth 
here, that I should go far off from 
my sanctuary? But turn thee yet 
again, and thou shalt see greater 
abominations. 

7 % And he brought me to the 
door of the court; and when I 
looked, behold, a hole in the wall. 

8 Then said he unto me, Son of 
man, dig now in the wall: and 
when I had digged in the wall, 
behold, a door. 

9 And he said unto me, Go in, 
and behold the wicked abomina- 
tions that they do here. 

10 So I went in and saw; and, 
behold, every form of creeping 
things, and abominable beasts, 
and all the idols of the house of 
Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall 
round about 

] 1 And there stood before them 
seventy men of the ancients of the

cloud of incense went up.

thee yet again, and thou shalt see 
greater abominations that they 
do. 

14 Then he brought me to the 
door of the gate of the Lord's 
house which was toward the north; 
and, behold, there sat * women 
weeping for Tammuz. 

15 f Then said he unto me, Hast 
thou seen this, O son of man ? 
Turn thee yet again, and thou 
shalt see greater abominations 
than these. 

16 And he brought me into the 
inner court of the Lord's house; 
and, behold, at the door of the 
temple of the Lord, m between the 
porch and the altar, n were about 
live and twenty men, ° with their 
backs toward the temple of the 
Lord, and their faces toward the 
east; and they worshipped p the 
sun toward the east. 

17 U Then he said unto me, Hast 
thou seen this, son of man? 2 Is 
it a light thing to the house of 
Judah that they commit the 
abominations which they commit 
here ? for they have q filled the 
land with violence, and have re- 
turned to provoke me to anger: 
and, lo, they put the branch to 
their nose. 

18 Therefore r will I also deal in 
fury: mine 8 eye shall not spare, 
neither will I have pity; and 
though they ' cry in mine ears 
with a loud voice, yet will I not 
hear them.

HE cried also in mine ears with 
a loud voice, saying, a Cause 
them that have charge over the 
city to draw near, even every man 
with his destroying weapon in his 
hand. 

2 And, behold, six men came 
from the way of the higher gate, 
1 which lieth toward the north, 
and every man 2 a slaughter 
weapon in his hand; 6 and one 
man among them was clothed 
with linen, with a writer's ink- 
horn 3 by his side: and they went 
in, and stood beside the brasen 
altar. 

3 And the glory of the God of 
Israel was gone up from the

cherub, whereupon he was, to the 
threshold of the house: and he 
called to the man clothed with 
linen, which had the writer's ink- 
horn by his side; 

4 And the Lord said unto him, 
Go through the midst of the city, 
through the midst of Jerusalem, 
and 4 set a mark upon the fore- 
heads of the men c that sigh and 
that cry for all the abominations 
that be done in the midst thereof. 

5 And to the others he said in 
5 mine hearing, Go ye after him 
through the city, and smite; let 
not your eye spare, neither have 
ye pity: 

6 Slay 6 utterly old and young, 
both maids, and little children, 
and women; but come d not near 
any man upon whom is the mark; 
and e begin at my sanctuary. 
Then they began at the ancient 
men which were before the house. 

7 And he said unto them, Defile 
the house, and fill the courts with 
the slain: go ye forth. And they 
went forth, and slew in the 
city. 

8 *H And it came to pass, while 
they were slaying them, and I 
was left, that 1 / fell upon my face, 
and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! 
wilt thou destroy all the residue 
of Israel in thy pouring out of thy 
fury upon Jerusalem? 

9 Then said he unto me, The 
iniquity of the house of Israel and 
Judah is exceeding great, and the 
land 9 is 7 full of blood, and the 
city full of 8 perverseness: for they 
say, The Lord hath forsaken the 
earth, and the ft Lord seeth not. 

10 And as for me also, mine eye 
shall not spare, neither will I have 
pity, but * I will recompense their 
way upon their head. 

11 And, behold, the man clothed 
with linen, which had the inkhorn 
by his side, 9 reported the matter, 
saying, I have done as thou hast 
commanded me.

with c coals of fire from between

over the city. And he went in in 
my sight. 

3 Now the cherubim stood on the 
right side of the house when the 
man went in; and the cloud filled 
the inner court. 

4 Then e the glory of the Lord 
2 went up from the cherub, and 
stood over the threshold of the 
house; and /the house was filled 
with the cloud, and the court was 
full of the brightness of the Lord's 
glory. 

5 And the g sound of the cheru- 
bim's wings was heard even to the 
outer court, as h the voice of the 
Almighty God when he speaketh. 

6 And it came to pass, that when 
he had commanded the man 
clothed with linen, saying, Take 
fire from between the wheels, from 
between the cherubim; then he 
went in, and stood beside the 
wheels. 

7 And one cherub 3 stretched forth 
his hand from between the cher- 
ubim unto the fire that was be- 
tween the cherubim, and took 
thereof, and put it into the hands 
of him that was clothed with linen; 
who took it, and went out. 

8 fl And » there appeared in the 
cherubim the form of a man's 
hand under their wings. 

9 And i when I looked, behold, 
the four wheels by the cherubim, 
one wheel by one cherub, and an- 
other wheel by another cherub: 
and the appearance of the wheels 
was as the colour of a beryl stone. 

10 And as for their appearances, 
they four had one likeness, as if a 
wheel had been in the midst of a 
wheel. 

11 When they went, they went 
upon their four sides; they turned 
not as they went, but to the place 
whither the head looked they 
followed it; they turned not as 
they went. 

12 And their whole 4 body, and 
their backs, and their hands, and 
their wings, and the h wheels, were 
full l of eyes round about, even the 
wheels that they four had. 

13 As for the wheels, 5 it was 
cried unto them in my hearing, O 
wheel ! 

14 And n every one had four 
faces: the first face was the face of 
a cherub, and the second * face

was the face of a man, and the 
third the face of ° a lion, and the 
fourth the face of p an eagle. 

15 And the cherubim were lifted 
up. This is q the living creature 
that I saw by the river of Chebar. 

16 And r when the cherubim 
went, the wheels went by them; 
and when the cherubim lifted up 
their wings to mount up from the 
earth, the same wheels also turned 
not from beside them. 

17 When * they stood, these stood; 
and when they were lifted up, 
these lifted up themselves also: for 
the spirit 6 of the living creature 
was in them. 

18 Then the glory of the Lord 
departed ' from off the threshold 
of the house, and stood over the 
cherubim. 

19 And M the cherubim lifted up 
their wings, and mounted up from 
the earth in my sight: when they 
went out, the wheels also were be- 
side them; and every one stood at 
the door of the east gate of the 
Lord's house; and the glory of 
the God of Israel was over them 
above. 

20 This v is the living creature 
that I saw under the God of Israel 
by w the river of Chebar; and I 
knew that they were the cherubim. 

21 Every x one had four faces 
apiece, and every one four wings; 
and y the likeness of the hands of 
a man was under their wings. 

22 And * the likeness of their 
faces was the same faces which I 
saw by the river of Chebar, their 
appearances and themselves: they 
went a every one straight forward.

saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur,

Thus saith the Lord, Thus have 
ye said, O house of Israel : for e I 
know the things that come into 
your mind, every one of them. 

6 Ye have multiplied your slain 
in this city, and ye have filled the 
streets thereof with the slain. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God, Your / slain, whom ye have 
laid in the midst of it, they are the 
flesh, and this city is the caldron: 
but I will bring you forth out of 
the midst of it. 

8 Ye have s feared the sword; and 
I will bring a sword upon you, 
saith the Lord God. 

9 And I will bring you out of the 
midst thereof, and deliver you into 
the hands of strangers, and n will 
execute judgments among you. 

10 Ye i shall fall by the sword: I 
will judge you in i the border of 
Israel; * and ye shall know that I 
am the Lord. 

11 This city shall not be your 
caldron, neither shall ye be the 
flesh in the midst thereof; but I 
will judge you in l the border of 
Israel: 

12 And ye shall know that I am 
the Lord: 2 for ye have not walked 
in my statutes, neither executed 
my judgments, but have m done 
after the manners of the heathen 
that are round about you. 

13 1f And it came to pass, when 
I prophesied, that n Pelatiah the 
son of Benaiah died. Then ° fell 
I down upon my face, and. cried 
with a loud voice, and said, Ah 
Lord God! wilt thou make a full 
end of the remnant of Israel? 

14 If Again the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

15 Son of man, thy brethren, even 
thy brethren, the men of thy 
kindred, and all the house of Is- 
rael whoDy, are they unto whom 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem have 
said, Get you far from the Lord; 
unto us is this land given in pos- 
session. 

16 Therefore say, Thus saith the 
Lord God; Although I have cast 
them far off among the heathen, 
and although I have scattered 
them among the countries, p yet 
will I be to them as a little 
sanctuary in the countries where 
they shall come.

Lord God; q I will even gather 
you from the people, and assemble

you out of the countries where ye 
have been scattered, and I will 
give you the land of Israel. 

18 And they shall come thither, 
and r they shall take away all the 
detestable things thereof and all 
the abominations thereof from 
thence. 

19 And * I will give them one 
heart, and I will put « a new spirit 
within you; and I will take u the 
stony heart out of their flesh, and 
will give them an heart of flesh; 

20 That they may walk in my 
statutes, and keep mine ordi- 
nances, and do them: and " they 
shall be my people, and I will be 
their God. 

21 But as for them whose tB heart 
walketh after the heart of their 
detestable things and their abomi- 
nations, I will recompense their 
way upon then own heads, saith 
the Lord God. 

22 If Then did the cherubim x lift 
up their wings, and the wheels be- 
side them; and the glory of the 
God of Israel was over them above. 

23 And v the glory of the Lord 
went up from the midst of the city,

which is on the east side of the 
city.

by day, as stuff for captivity, and

wall with mine hand; I brought it 
forth in the twilight, and I bare it 
upon my shoulder in their sight.

word of the Lord unto me, saying, 

9 Son of man, hath not the house 
of Israel, the rebellious house, said 
unto thee, What c doest thou? 

10 Say thou unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God; This d burden 
concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, 
and all the house of Israel that 
are among them. 

11 Say, I am your sign: like as I 
have done, so shall it be done unto 
them: 5 they shall remove, and go 
into captivity. 

12 And e the prince that is among 
them shall bear upon his shoulder 
in the twilight, and shall go forth: 
they shall dig through the wall to 
cany out thereby: he shall cover 
his face, that he see not the ground 
with his eyes. 

13 My / net also will I spread 
upon him, and he shall be taken 
in my snare: and * I will bring 
him to Babylon to the land of the 
Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, 
though he shall die there. 

14 And /4 I will scatter toward 
every wind all that are about him 
to help him, and all his bands; and 
I will draw out the sword after 
them. 

15 And * they shall know that 1 
am the Lord, when I shall scatter 
them among the nations, and 
disperse them in the countries. 

16 But i I will leave 6 a few men 
of them from the sword, from the 
famine, and from the pestilence; 
that they may declare all their 
abominations among the heathen 
whither they come; and they shall 
know that I am the Lord.

Lord came to me, saying,

with quaking, and drink thy water

with trembling and with careful- 
ness; 

19 And say unto the people of the 
land, Thus saith the Lord God of 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and 
of the land of Israel; They shall eat 
their bread with carefulness, and 
drink their water with astonish- 
ment, that her land may ' be 
desolate from 7 all that is therein, 
because m of the violence of all 
them that dwell therein. 

20 And the cities that are inhabited 
shall be laid waste, and the land 
shall be desolate; and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

21 % And the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

22 Son of man, what is that pro- 
verb that ye have in the land of 
Israel, saying, n The days are pro- 
longed, and every vision faileth? 

23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith 
the Lord God; I will make this 
proverb to cease, and they shall no 
more use it as a proverb in Israel; 
but say unto them, ° The days are 
at hand, and the effect of every 
vision. 

24 For p there shall be no more 
any a vain vision nor flattering 
divination within the house of 
Israel. 

25 For I am the Lord: I will 
speak, and the r word that I shall 
speak shall come to pass; it shall 
be no more prolonged: for in your 
days, rebellious house, will I say 
the word, and will perform it, saith 
the Lord God. 

26 f Again the word of the Lord 
came to me, saying, 

27 Son of man, behold, they of the 
house of Israel say, The vision that 
he seeth is for * many days to come, 
and he prophesieth of the times 
that are far off. 

28 Therefore say unto them, Thus

any more; but the word which I 
have spoken shall be done, saith

3 Thus saith the Lord God; Woe 
unto the foolish prophets, that 
2 follow their own spirit, 3 and 
have seen nothing! 

4 O Israel, thy prophets are 6 like 
the foxes in the deserts. 

5 Ye c have not gone up into the 
4 gaps, neither 5 made up the 
hedge for the house of Israel to 
stand in the battle in the day of 
the Lord. 

6 They d have seen vanity and 
lying divination, saying, The Lord 
saith: and the Lord hath not sent 
them: and they have made others 
to 6 hope that they would confirm 
the word. 

7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, 
and have ye not spoken a lying 
divination, whereas ye say, The 
Lord saith it, albeit I have not 
spoken? 

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God ; Because ye have spoken 
vanity, and seen lies, therefore, 
behold, I am against you, saith 
the Lord God. 

9 And mine hand shall be upon 
the prophets that see vanity, and 
that divine lies: they shall not be 
in the 6 assembly of my people, 
neither / shall they be written 
in the writing of the house of Is- 
rael, 9 neither shall they enter 
into the land of Israel; and A ye 
shall know that I am the Lord 
God. 

10 Because, even because they 
have » seduced my people, saying, 
Peace; i and there was no peace; 
and one built up 7 a wall, and, lo, 
others k daubed it with untem- 
pered mortar: 

11 Say unto them which daub it 
with untempered mortar, that it 
shall fall: there l shall be an over- 
flowing shower; and ye, O great 
hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy 
wind shall rend it. 

12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, 
shall it not be said unto you, 
Where is the daubing wherewith 
ye have daubed it? 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; I will even rend it with a 
stormy wind in my fury; and there 
shall be an overflowing shower in 
mine anger, and great hailstones 
in my fury, to consume it. 

14 So will I break down the wall 
that ye have daubed with untem- 
pered mortar, and bring it. down 
to the ground, so that the founda- 
tion thereof shall be discovered, 
and it shall fall, and ye shall be

consumed in the midst thereof; 
and m ye shall know that I am the 
Lord. 

15 Thus will I accomplish my 
wrath upon the wall, and upon 
them that have daubed it with 
untempered mortar; and will say 
unto you, The wall is no more, 
neither they that daubed it; 

16 To wit, the prophets of Israel, 
which prophesy concerning Jeru- 
salem, and which see n visions of 
peace for her, and there is no peace, 
saith the Lord God. 

17 f Likewise, thou son of man, 
set ° thy face against p the daugh- 
ters of thy people, which prophesy 
out of their own heart; and pro- 
phesy thou against them, 

18 And say, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Woe to the women that sew 
pillows to all 8 arm-holes, and 
make kerchieis upon the head of 
every stature, to hunt souls! Will 
ye 2 hunt the souls of my people, 
and will ye save the souls alive 
that come unto you? 

19 And will ye pollute me among 
my people r for handfuls of barley 
and for pieces of bread, to slay the 
souls that should not die, and to 
save the souls alive that should 
not live, by your lying to my peo- 
ple that hear your lies? 

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I am against your 
pillows, wherewith ye there hunt 
the souls 9 to make them fly, and 
I will tear them from your arms, 
and will let the souls go, even the 
souls that ye hunt to make them 

a y . 

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, 
and deliver my people out of your 
hand, and they shall be no more 
in your hand to be hunted; and 
ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

22 Because s with lies ye have 
made the heart of the righteous 
sad, whom I have not made sad; 
jnd 'strengthened the hands of 
the wicked, that he should not 
return from his wicked way, 10 by 
promising him life; 

23 Therefore u ye shall see no 
more vanity, nor divine divina- 
tions: for I will deliver my people 
out of your hand; and " ye shall 
know that I am the Lord.

j 2 And the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

3 Son of man, these men have 
set up their idols in their heart, 
and put # b the stumblingblock of 
their iniquity before their face: 
should c I be enquired of at all 
by them? 

4 Therefore speak unto them, and 
say unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God; Everyman of the house 
of Israel that setteth up his idols 
in his heart, and putteth the 
stumblingblock of his iniquity be- 
fore his face, and cometh to the 
prophet, I the Lord will answer 
him that cometh according to the 
multitude of his idols; 

5 That I may take the house of 
Israel in their own d heart, because 
they are all estranged from me 
through their idols. 

6 % Therefore say unto the house 
of Israel, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Repent, and turn x your- 
selves from your idols; and turn 
away your faces from all your 
abominations. 

7 For every one of the house of 
Israel, or of the stranger that so- 
journeth in Israel, which 6 separa- 
teth himself from me, and setteth 
up his idols in his heart, and 
putteth the stumblingblock of his 
iniquity before his face, and com- 
eth to a prophet to enquire of him 
concerning me; I the Lord will 
answer him by myself: 

8 And f I will set my face against 
that man, and will make him g a 
sign and a proverb, and I will cut 
him off from the midst of my 
people; and ye shall know that I 
am the Lord. 

9 And if the prophet be deceived 
when he hath spoken a thing, I 
the Lord h have deceived that 
prophet; and I will stretch out my 
hand upon him, and will destroy 
him from the midst of my people 
Israel. 

10 And they shall bear the pun- 
ishment of their iniquity: the 
punishment of the prophet shall 
be even as the punishment of him 
that seeketh unto him; 

11 That the house of Israel * may 
go no more astray from me, neither 
be polluted any more with all their 
transgressions; i but that they may 
be my people, and I may be their 
God, saith the Lord God. 

12 I The word of the Lord came 
again to me, saying, 

13 Son of man, when the land

sinneth against me by trespassing 
grievously, then will I stretch out 
mine hand upon it, and will break 
the * staff of the bread thereof, 
and will send famine upon it, and 
will cut off man and beast from 
it: 

14 Though l these three men, 
Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, 
they should deliver but their own 
souls m by their righteousness, saith 
the Lord God. 

15 \\ If I cause n noisome beasts 
to pass through the land, and they 

2 spoil it, so that it be desolate, 
that no man may pass through 
because of the beasts: 

16 Though these three men were 

3 in it, as I live, saith the Lord 
God, they shall deliver neither 
sons nor daughters; they only shall 
be delivered, but the land shall be 
desolate. 

17 fl Or if ° I bring a sword upon 
that land, and say, Sword, go 
through the land; so that I p cut 
off man and beast from it: 

18 Though these three men were 
in it, as I live, saith the Lord 
God, they shall deliver neither 
sons nor daughters, but they only 
shall be delivered themselves. 

19 51 Or if 1 send 2 a pestilence 
into that land, and r pour out my 
fury upon it in blood, to cut off 
from it man and beast: 

20 Though Noah, Daniel, and 
Job, were in it, as I live, saith the 
Lord God, they shall deliver nei- 
ther son nor daughter; they shall 
but deliver their own souls by their 
righteousness. 

21 For thus saith the Lord God; 
* How much more when * I send 
my four sore judgments upon 
Jerusalem, the sword, and the 
famine, and the noisome beast, 
and the pestilence, to cut off from 
it man and beast? 

22 Yet, * behold, therein shall be 
left a remnant that shall be 
brought forth, both sons and 
daughters; behold, they shall come 
forth unto you, and u ye shall see 
their way and their doings: and 
ye shall be comforted concerning 
the evil that I have brought uporf 
Jerusalem, even concerning all that 
I have brought upon it. 

23 And they shall comfort you, 
when ye see their ways and their 
doings: and ye shall know that I 
have not done * without cause all 
that I have done in it, saith the 
Lord God.

3 By the unfitness of the vine braneh for 
any work, 6 is showed Jerusalem's re- 
jection, 

AND the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, What is the a vine 
tree more than any tree, or than a 
branch which is among the trees 
of the forest? 

3 Shall wood be taken thereof to 
do any work? or will men take a 
pin of it to hang any vessel there- 
on? 

4 Behold, 6 it is cast into the fire 
for fuel; the fire devoureth both 
the ends of it, and the midst of it 
is burnt. x Is it meet for any 
work? 

5 Behold, when it was whole, it 
was 2 meet for no work: how much 
less shall it be meet yet for any 
work, when the fire hath devoured 
it, and it is burned? 

6 If Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; As the vine tree among the 
trees of the forest, which I have 
given to the fire for fuel, so will I 
give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

7 And c I will set my face against 
them; they d shall go out from one 
fire, and another fire shall devour 
them: e and ye shall know that I 
am the Lord, when I set my face 
against them. 

8 And I will make the land deso- 
late, because they have 3 com- 
mitted a trespass, saith the Lord 
God.

1 By a tvretched infant is showed the ori- 
ginal state of Jerusalem: 6 God's love to 
Tier: 35 she is threatened with severe 
judgments: 60 mercy promised tier in the 
end. 

AGAIN the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, a cause Jerusalem 
to know her abominations, 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord 
God unto Jerusalem; Thy J birth 
and thy nativity is of the land of 
Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, 
and thy mother an Hittite. 

4 And as for thy nativity, 6 in the 
day thou wast born thy navel was 
not cut, neither wast thou washed 
in water 2 to supple thee; thou wast 
not salted at all, nor swaddled at 
all. 

5 None eye pitied thee, to do any 
of these unto thee, to have com- 
passion upon thee; but thou wast 
cast out in the open field, to the 



God's love to Jerusalem.

loathing of thy person, in the day 
that thou wast horn. 

6 1f And when I passed by thee, 
and saw thee 3 polluted in thine 
own blood, I said unto thee when 
thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I 
said unto thee when thou wast in 
thy blood, Live. 

7 I have 4 caused thee to multiply 
as the bud of the held, and thou 
hast increased and waxen great, 
and thou art come to 5 excellent 
ornaments: thy breasts are fa- 
shioned, and thine hair is grown, 
whereas thou wast naked and 
bare. 

8 Now when I passed by thee, 
and looked upon thee, behold, thy 
time was the time of love; c and I 
spread my skirt over thee, and 
covered thy nakedness : yea, I 
sware unto thee, and entered into 
a covenant with thee, saith the 
Lord God, and d thou becamest 
mine. 

9 Then washed I thee with water; 
yea, I throughly washed away thy 

6 blood from thee, and I anointed 
thee with oil. 

10 I clothed thee also with broi- 
dered work, and shod thee with 
badgers' skin, and I girded thee 
about with fine linen, and I cov- 
ered thee with silk. 

11 I decked thee also with orna- 
ments, and I e put bracelets upon 
thy hands, / and a chain on thy 
neck. 

12 And I put a jewel on thy 

7 forehead, and earrings in thine 
ears, and a beautiful crown upon 
thine head. 

13 Thus wast thou decked with 
gold and silver; and thy raiment 
was of fine linen, and silk, and 
broidered work; 9 thou didst eat 
fine flour, and honey, and oil; and 
thou wast exceeding A beautiful, 
and thou didst prosper into a 
kingdom. 

14 And * thy renown went forth 
among the heathen for thy beauty: 
for it was perfect through my 
comeliness, which I had put upon 
thee, saith the Lord God. 

15 H But J thou didst trust in 
thine own beauty, * and playedst 
the harlot because of thy renown, 
and pouredst out thy fornications 
on every one that passed by; his it 
was. 

16 And l of thy garments thou 
didst take, and deckedst thy high 
places with divers colours, and 
playedst the harlot thereupon: the

17 Thou hast also taken thy fair 
jewels of my gold and of my silver, 
which I had given thee, and 
madest to thyself images 8 of men, 
and didst commit whoredom with 
them; 

18 And tookest thy • broidered 
garments, and coveredst them : 
and thou hast set mine oil and 
mine incense before them. 

19 My m meat also which I gave 
thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, 
wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even 
set it before them for 9 a sweet 
savour: and thus it was, saith the 
Lord God. 

20 Moreover n thou hast taken 
thy sons and thy daughters, whom 
thou hast born unto me, and these 
hast thou sacrificed unto them 
10 to be devoured. Is this of thy 
whoredoms a small matter, 

21 That thou hast slain ° my 
children, and delivered them to 
cause them to pass through the fire 
for them? 

22 And in all thine abominations 
and thy whoredoms thou hast not 
remembered the days of p thy 
youth, when thou wast naked and 
bare, and wast polluted in thy 
blood. 

23 And it came to pass, after all 
thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto 
thee! saith the Lord God,) 

24 That thou hast also built unto 
thee an u eminent place, 2 and 
hast made thee an high place in 
every street. 

25 Thou hast built thy high place 
at r every head of the way, and 
hast made thy beauty to be ab- 
horred, and hast opened thy feet 
to every one that passed by, and 
multiplied thy whoredoms. 

26 Thou hast also committed for- 
nication with * the Egyptians thy 
neighbours, great of flesh; and 
hast increased thy whoredoms, to 
provoke me to anger. 

27 Behold, therefore I have 
stretched out my hand over thee, 
and have diminished thine ordi- 
nary food, and delivered thee unto 
♦he will of them that hate thee, 
the 12 daughters of the Philistines, 
which are ashamed of thy lewd way. 

28 Thou *. hast played the whore 
also with the Assyrians, because 
thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou 
hast played the harlot with them, 
and yet couldest not be satis- 
fied.

29 Thou hast moreover multiplied 
thy fornication in the land of 
Canaan M unto Chaldea ; and yet 
thou wast not satisfied here- 
with. 

30 How weak is thine heart, saith 
the Lord God, seeing thou doest 
all these things, the work of * an 
imperious whorish woman; 

31 n In that thou buildest thine 
eminent place in the head of every 
way, and makest thine high place 
in every street; and hast not been 
as an harlot, in that thou scornest 
hire; 

32 But as a wife that committeth 
adultery, which taketh strangers 
instead of her husband ! 

33 They give gifts to all whores; 
but w thou givest thy gifts to all 
thy lovers, and u hirest them, that 
they may come unto thee on every 
side for thy whoredom. 

34 And the contrary is in thee 
from other women in thy whore- 
doms, whereas none followeth thee 
to commit whoredoms: and in that 
thou givest a reward, and no re- 
ward is given unto thee, therefore 
thou art contrary. 

35 % Wherefore, harlot, hear 
the word of the Lord: 

36 Thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause thy filthiness was poured 
out, and thy nakedness discovered 
through thy whoredoms with thy 
lovers, and with all the idols of thy 
abominations, and by * the blood 
of thy children, which thou didst 
give unto them; 

37 Behold, therefore y I will 
gather all thy lovers, with whom 
thou hast taken pleasure, and all 
them that thou hast loved, with all 
them that thou hast hated; I will 
even gather them round about 
against thee, and will discover thy 
nakedness unto them, that they 
may see all thy nakedness. 

38 And I will judge thee, 15 as 
women that break wedlock z and 
shed blood are judged; and I will 
give thee blood in fury and jeal- 
ousy. 

39 And I will also give thee into 
their hand, and they shall throw 
down thine eminent place, and 
shall break down thy high places: 
they a shall strip thee also of thy 
clothes, and shall take ie thy fair 
jewels, and leave thee naked and 
bare.

thrust thee through with their 
swords. 

41 And they shall d burn thine 
houses with fire, and 6 execute 
judgments upon thee in the sight 
of many women: and I will cause 
thee to / cease from playing the 
harlot, and thou also shaft give no 
hire any more. 

42 So ? will I make my fury to- 
ward thee to rest, and my jealousy 
shall depart from thee, and I wili 
be quiet, and will be no more 
angry. 

43 Because h thou hast not re- 
membered the days of thy youth, 
but hast fretted me in all these 
things; behold, therefore * I also 
will recompense thy way upon 
thine head, saith the Lord God: 
and thou shalt not commit this 
lewdness above all thine abomina- 
tions. 

44 ^ Behold, every one that useth 
proverbs shall use this proverb 
against thee, saying, As is the 
mother, so is her daughter. 

45 Thou art thy mother's daugh- 
ter, that loatheth her husband and 
her children; and thou art the 
sister of thy sisters, which loathed 
their husbands and their children: 
your mother was an Hittite, and 
your father an Amorite. 

46 And thine elder sister is Sama- 
ria, she and her daughters that 
dwell at thy left hand: and 17 thy 
younger sister, that dwelleth at 
thy right hand, is Sodom and her 
daughters. 

47 Yet hast thou not walked 
after their ways, nor done after 
their abominations; but, 18 as if 
that were a very little thing, thou 
wast i corrupted more than they 
in all thy ways. 

48 As I live, saith the Lord God, 
Sodom * thy sister hath not done, 
she nor her daughters, as thou 
hast done, thou and thy daughters. 

49 Behold, this was the iniquity 
of thy sister Sodom, pride, l fulness 
of bread, and abundance of 
idleness was in her and in her 
daughters, m neither did she 
strengthen the hand of the poor 
and needy. 

50 And they were haughty, and 
committed " abomination before 
me: therefore I ° took them away 
as I saw good. 

51 Neither hath Samaria com- 
mitted half of thy sins; but thou 
hast multiplied thine abomina- 
tions more than they, and p hast 



Mercy promised to Jerusalem. EZEKIEL, XVII. Parable of the two eagles and a vine. 



justified thy sisters in all thine 
abominations which thou hast 
done. 

52 Thou also, which hast judged 
thy sisters, bear thine own shame 
for thy sins that thou hast com- 
mitted more abominable than 
they: they are more righteous 
than thou : yea, be thou con- 
founded also, and bear thy shame, 
in that thou hast justified thy 
sisters. 

53 When 2 I shall bring again 
their captivity, r the captivity of 
Sodom and her daughters, and 
the captivity of Samaria and her 
daughters, then will I bring again 
the captivity of thy captives in the 
midst of them; 

54 That thou mayest bear thine 
own shame, and mayest be con- 
founded in all that thou hast 
done, in that thou art * a comfort 
unto them. 

55 When thy sisters, Sodom and 
i her daughters, shall return to their 

former estate, and Samaria and 
her daughters shall return to their 
former estate, then thou and thy 
daughters shall return to your 
former estate. 

56 For thy sister Sodom was not 
19 mentioned by thy mouth in the 
day of thy 20 pride, 

57 Before thy wickedness was dis- 
covered, as at the time of thy f re- 
proach of the daughters of 21 Syria, 
and all that are round about her, 
the daughters of the Philistines, 
which 22 despise thee round about. 

58 Thou hast s borne thy lewd- 
ness and thine abominations, saith 
the Lord. 

59 For thus saith the Lord God; 
I will even deal with thee as thou 
hast done, which hast w despised 
the oath in breaking the covenant. 

60 Nevertheless I will w remember 
my covenant with thee in the days 
of thy youth, and I will establish 
unto thee w an everlasting cove- 
nant. 

61 Then a thou shalt remember 
thy ways, and be ashamed, when 
thou shalt receive thy " sisters, 
thine elder and thy younger: and 
I will give them unto thee * for 
daughters, but a not by thy cove- 
nant. 

62 And h I will establish my 
covenant with thee; and thou 
shalt know that I am the Lord: 

63 That thou mayest remember, 
and be confounded, c and never 
open thy mouth any more because

CHAPTER XVIL 

1 God's judgment upon Zedekiah for re- 
volting from Babylon to Egypt. 22 A 
promise of Christ's kingdom. 

AND the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, 
and speak a parable unto the house 
of Israel; 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord 
God; A great eagle with great 
wings, long- winged, full of feathers, 
which had x divers colours, came 
unto Lebanon, and a took the 
highest branch of the cedar: 

4 He cropped off the top of his 
young twigs, and carried it into a 
land of traffic; he set it in a city 
of merchants. 

5 He took also of the seed of the 
land, and 2 planted it in b a fruitful 
field; he placed it by great waters, 
and set it c as a willow tree. 

6 And it grew, and became a 
spreading vine of low stature, 
whose branches turned toward 
him, and the roots thereof were 
under him: so it became a vine, 
and brought forth branches, and 
shot forth sprigs. 

7 There was also another great 
eagle with great wings and many 
feathers; and, behold, this vine did 
bend her roots toward him, and 
shot forth her branches toward 
him, that he might water it by the 
furrows of her plantation. 

8 It was planted in a good 3 soil 
by great waters, that it might 
bring forth branches, and that it 
might bear fruit, that it might be 
a goodly vine. 

9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Shall it prosper? d shall he 
not pull up the roots thereof, and 
cut off the fruit thereof, that it 
wither? it shall wither in all the 
leaves of her spring, even without 
great power or many people to 
pluck it up by the roots thereof. 

10 Yea, behold, being planted, 
shall it prosper ? e shall it not 
utterly wither when the east wind 
toucheth it? it shall wither in the 
furrows where it grew. 

11 t Moreover the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

12 Say now to / the rebellious 
house, Know ye not what these 
things mean? tell them, Behold, 9 the 
king of Babylon is come to Jeru- 
salem, and hath taken the king 



God's 



on Zedekidh. EZEKIEL, X VHL The equity of God's dealings. 



thereof, and the princes thereof, 
and led them with him to Baby- 
lon; 

13 And A hath taken of the king's 
seed, and made a covenant with 
him, * and hath 4 taken an oath 
of him: he hath also taken the 
mighty of the land: 

14 That the kingdom might •?" be 
base, that it might not lift itself 
up, 5 but that by keeping of his 
covenant it might stand. 

15 But * he rebelled against him 
in sending his ambassadors into 
Egypt, l that they might give him 
horses and much people. Shall he 
prosper? shall he escape that doeth 
such things? or shall he break the 
covenant, and be delivered? 

16 As I live, saith the Lord God, 
surely in "* the place where the 
king dtvelleth that made him king, 
whose oath he despised, and whose 
covenant he brake, even with him 
in the midst of Babylon he shall 
die. 

17 Neither n shall Pharaoh with 
his mighty army and great com- 
pany make for him in the war, 
by ° casting up mounts, and build- 
ing forts, to cut off many persons: 

18 Seeing he despised the oath by 
breaking the covenant, when, lo, he 
had p given his hand, and hath 
done all these things, he shall not 
escape. 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; As I live, surely mine oath 
that he hath despised, and my 
covenant that he hath broken, 
even it will I recompense upon 
his own head. 

20 And I will q spread my net 
upon him, and he shall be taken 
in my snare; and I will bring him 
to Babylon, and r will plead with 
him there for his trespass that he 
hath trespassed against me. 

21 And s all his fugitives with all 
his bands shall fall by the sword, 
and they that remain shall be 
scattered toward all winds; and 
ye shall know that I the Lord 
have spoken it. 

22 U Thus saith the Lord God; I 
will also take of the { highest 
branch of the high cedar, and 
will set it; I will crop off from the 
top of his young twigs * a tender 
one, and will "plant it upon an 
high mountain and eminent: 

23 In w the mountain of the 
height of Israel will I plant it; and 
it shall, bring forth boughs, and 
bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar:

CHAPTEK XVHL 

1 God disallows the parable of sour grapes : 

25 he defends the equity of his dealings, 
31 and exhorts to repentance. 

THE word of the Lord came 
unto me again, saying, 

2 What mean ye, that ye use this 
proverb concerning the land of 

•Israel, saying, a The fathers have 
eaten sour grapes, and the chil- 
dren's teeth are set on edge? 

3 As I live, saith the Lord God, 
ye shall not have occasion any more 
to use this proverb in Israel. 

4 Behold, all 5 souls are mine; as 
the sOul of the father, so also the 
soul of the son is mine: c the soul 
that sinneth, it shall die. 

5 But if a man be just, and do 

1 that which is lawful and right, 

6 And d hath not eaten upon the 
mountains, neither hath lifted up 
his eyes to the idols of the house of 
Israel, neither hath defiled e his 
neighbour's wife, neither hath 
come near to t a menstruous 
woman, 

7 And hath not 9 oppressed any, 
but hath restored to the debtor h his 
pledge, hath spoiled none by vio- 
lence, hath * given his bread to 
the hungry, and hath covered the 
naked with a garment; 

8 He that hath not given S forth 
upon usury, neither hath taken 
any increase, that hath withdrawn 
his hand from iniquity, k hath 
executed true judgment between 
man and man, 

9 Hath walked in my statutes, 
and hath kept my judgments, to 
deal truly; he l is just, he shall 
surely m live, saith the Lord God. 

10 if If he beget a son that is a 

2 robber, n a shedder of blood, and 

3 thai, doeth the like to any one of 
these things, 

11 And that doeth not any of those 
duties, but even hath eaten upon 
the mountains, and ° defiled his 
neighbour's wife, 

12 Hath oppressed the poor and 
needy, hath spoiled by violence, 
hath not restored the pledge, and

hath lifted up his eyes to the 
idols, hath p committed abomina- 
tion, 

13 Hath ? given forth upon usury, 
and hath taken increase: shall he 
then live? he shall not live: he 
hath done all these abominations; 
he shall surely die; his i blood shall 
be upon him. 

14 % Now, lo, if he beget a son, 
that seeth all his father's sins 
which he hath done, and con- 
sidereth, and doeth not such like, 

15 That hath not eaten upon 
the mountains, neither hath lifted 
up his eyes to the idols of the house 
of Israel, hath not denied his 
neighbour's wife, 

16 Neither hath oppressed any, 
5 hath not withholden the pledge, 
neither hath spoiled by violence, 
but hath given r his bread to the 
hungry, and hath covered the 
naked with a garment, 

17 That hath taken off his hand 
from the poor, that hath not re- 
ceived usury nor increase, hath 
executed my judgments, hath 
walked in my statutes; * he shall 
not die for the iniquity of his 
father, he shall surely live. 

18 As for his father, because he 
cruelly oppressed, spoiled his bro- 
ther by violence, and did that which 
is not good among his people, 
lo, even ' he shall die in his ini- 
quity. 

19 U Yet say ye, Why? M doth not 
the son bear the iniquity of the 
father? When the son hath done 
that which is lawful and right, 
and hath kept all my statutes, and 
hath done them, he shall surely 
live. 

20 The soul that sinneth, it shall 
die. The v son shall not bear the 
iniquity of the father, neither shall 
the father bear the iniquity of the 
son: *" the righteousness of the 
righteous shall be upon him, * and 
the wickedness of the wicked shall 
be upon him. 

21 But * if the wicked will turn 
from all his sins that he hath com- 
mitted, and keep all my statutes, 
and do that which is lawful and 
right, he shall surely live, he shall 
not die. 

22 All z his transgressions that he 
hath committed, they shall not be 
mentioned unto him: in a his 
righteousness that he hath done 
he shall live. 

23 Have b I any pleasure at ajl 
that the wicked should die? saith

the Lord God; and not that he 
should return from his ways, and 
live? 

24 % But e when the righteous 
turneth away from his righteous- 
ness, and committeth iniquity, 
and doeth according to all the 
abominations that the wicked 
man doeth, shall he live? d All 
his righteousness that he hath 
done shall not be mentioned: in 
his trespass that he hath tres- 
passed, and in his sin that he hath 
sinned, in them shall he die. 

25 \ Yet ye say, 6 The way of the 
Lord is not equal. Hear now, O 
house of Israel; Is not 'my way 
equal ? are not your ways un. 
equal? 

26 When a righteous man turneth 
away from his righteousness, and 
committeth iniquity, and dieth in 
them; for his iniquity that he hath 
done shall he die. 

27 Again, when the wicked man 
turneth away 9 from his wicked- 
ness that he hath committed, and 
doeth that which is lawful and 
right, he shall save his soul alive. 

28 Because he considereth, and 
turneth away from all his trans- 
gressions that he hath committed, 
he shall surely live, he shall not 
die. 

29 Yet saith the house of Israel, 
The way of the Lord is not equal. 
O house of Israel, are not my ways 
equal ? are not your ways un- 
equal? 

30 Therefore A I will judge you, 

house of Israel, every one ac- 
cording to his ways, saith the Lord 
God. * Kepent, and turn 6 your- 
selves from all your transgressions; 
so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 

31 f Cast i away from you all 
your transgressions, whereby ye 
have transgressed; and make you 
a & new heart and a new spirit: 
for why will ye die, O house of 
Israel? 

32 For 1 1 have no pleasure in the 
death of him that dieth, saith the 
Lord God: wherefore turn 7 your- 
selves, and live ye.

lions, she nourished her whelps 
among young lions. 

3 And she brought up one of her 
whelps: it h became a young lion, 
and it learned to catch the prey, 
it devoured men. 

4 The nations also heard of him; 
he was taken in their pit, and they 
brought him with chains unto the 
land of c Egypt. 

5 Now when she saw that she had 
waited, and her hope was lost, 
then she d took another of her 
whelps, and made him ayounglion. 

6 And e he went up and down 
among the lions, he became a 
young lion, and learned to catch 
the prey, and devoured men. 

7 And he knew x their desolate 
palaces, and he laid waste their 
cities; and the land was desolate, 
and the fulness thereof, by the 
noise of his roaring. 

8 Then /the nations set against 
him on every side from the pro- 
vinces, and spread their net over 
him: he was taken in their pit. 

9 And 9 they put him in ward 

2 in chains, and brought him to 
the king of Babylon: they brought 
him into holds, that his voice 
should no more be heard h upon 
the mountains of Israel. 

10 H Thy mother is * like a vine 

3 in thy blood, planted by the 
waters: she was fruitful and > full 
of branches by reason of many 
waters. 

11 And she had strong rods for 
the sceptres of them that bare 
rule, and ber stature k was exalted 
among the thick branches, and 
she appeared in her height with 
the multitude of her branches. 

12 But she was plucked up in 
fury, she was cast down to the 
ground, and the l east wind dried 
up her fruit; her strong rods were 
broken and withered, the fire con- 
sumed them. 

13 And now she is planted m in 
the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty 
ground. 

14 And n fire is gone out of a rod 
of her branches, which hath de- 
voured her fruit, so that she hath 
no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. 
This is a lamentation, and shall be 
for a lamentation.

month, the tenth day of the month, 
that a certain of the elders of Israel 
came to enquire of the Lord, and 
sat before me. 

2 Then came the word of the 
Lord unto me, saying, 

3 Son of man, speak unto the 
elders of Israel, and say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord God; Are ye 
come to enquire of me? As I live, 
saith the Lord God, b I will not be 
enquired of by you. 

4 Wilt thou l judge them, son of 
man? wilt thou judge them? c cause 
them to know the abominations 
of their fathers; 

5 And say unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord God; In the day when d I 
chose Israel, and 2 lifted up mine 
hand unto the seed of the house of 
Jacob, and made myself 6 known 
unto them in the land of Egypt, 
when I lifted up mine hand unto 
them, saying, 'I am the Lord your 
God; 

6 In the day that I lifted up mine 
hand unto them, 9 to bring them 
forth of the land of Egypt into a 
land that I had espied for them, 
flowing with milk and honey, 
which A is the glory of all lands: 

7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye 
away every man* the abominations 
of his eyes, and defile not your- 
selves with the i idols of Egypt: I 
am the Lord your God. 

8 But they rebelled against me, 
and would not hearken unto me: 
they did not every man cast away 
the abominations of their eyes, 
neither did they forsake the idols 
of Egypt: then I said, I will pour 
out my fury upon them, to accom- 
plish my anger against them in 
the midst of the land of Egypt. • 

9 But * I wrought for my name's 
sake, that it should not be polluted 
before the heathen, among whom 
they were, in whose sight I made 
myself known unto them, in bring- 
ing them forth out of the land of 
Egypt 

10 Wherefore I caused them to 
go forth out of the land of Egypt, 
and brought them into the wil- 
derness. 

11 And 1 1 gave them my statutes, 
and 3 showed them my judgments, 
which m if a, man do, he shall even 
five in them. 

12 Moreover also I gave them 
my " sabbaths, to be a sign be- 
tween me and them, that they 
might know tha^ I am the Lord 
that sanctify them.

Judgments threatened. 



13 But the house of Israel rebelled 
against me in the wilderness: they 
walked not in my statutes, and 
they ° despised my judgments, 
which if a man do, he shall even 
live in them; and my sabbaths 
they greatly polluted: then I said, 
I would pour out my fury upon 
them in the wilderness, to consume 
them. 

14 But I wrought for my name's 
sake, that it should not be polluted 
before the heathen, in whose sight 
I brought them out. 

15 Yet also p I lifted up my hand 
unto them in the wilderness, that 
I would not bring them into the 
land which I had given them, flow- 
ing with milk and honey, which 
is the glory of all lands; 

16 Because they despised my 
judgments, and walked not in my 
statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: 
for s their heart went after their 
idols. 

17 Nevertheless r mine eye spared 
them from destroying them, nei- 
ther did I make an end of them 
in the wilderness. 

18 But I said unto their children 
in the wilderness, Walk ye not in 
the statutes of your fathers, neither 
observe their judgments, nor defile 
yourselves with their idols: 

19 I am the Lord your God; * walk 
in my statutes, and keep my judg- 
ments, and do them; 

20 And ' hallow my sabbaths; 
and they shall be a sign between 
me and you, that ye may know 
that I am the Lord your God. 

21 Notwithstanding M the children 
rebelled against me: they walked 
not m my statutes, neither kept 
my judgments to do them, which 
if a man do, he shall even live in 
them; they polluted my sabbaths: 
then I said, I would pour out my 
fury upon them, to accomplish my 
anger against them in the wilder- 
ness. 

22 Nevertheless "I withdrew mine 
hand, and wrought for my name's 
sake, that it should not be polluted 
in the sight of the heathen, in 
whose sight I brought them 
forth. 

23 I lifted up mine hand unto 
them also in the wilderness, that 
I would * scatter them among 
the heathen, and disperse them 
through the countries; 

24 Because they had not executed 
my judgments, but had despised 
my statutes, and had polluted my

sabbaths, and * their eyes were 
after their-fathers' idols. 

25 Wherefore y I gave them also 
statutes that were not good, and 
judgments whereby they should 
not live: 

26 And 1 polluted them in their 
own gifts, in that they caused to 
pass* through the fire all that open- 
eth the womb, that I might make 
them desolate, to the end that they 
might a know that I am the Lord. 

27 ^ Therefore, son of man, speak 
unto the house of Israel, and say 
unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Yet in this your fathers have 
blasphemed b me, in that they 
have 4 committed a trespass against 
me. 

28 For when I had brought them 
into the land, for the which I lifted 
up mine hand to give it to them, 
then c they saw every high hill, 
and all the thick trees, and they 
offered there their sacrifices, and 
there they presented the provoca- 
tion of their offering: there also 
they made their d sweet savour, 
and poured out there their drink 
offerings. 

29 Then 5 1 said unto them, What 
is the high place whereunto ye go? 
And the name thereof is called 
Bamah unto this day. 

30 Wherefore say unto the house 
of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; 
Are ye polluted after the manner 
of your fathers? and commit ye 
whoredom after their abomina- 
tions? 

31 For when ye offer your gifts, 
when ye make your sons to pass 
through the fire, ye pollute your- 
selves with all your idols, even unto 
this day: and 6 shall I be enquired 
of by you, O house of Israel? As 
I live, saith the Lord God, I will 
not be enquired of by you. 

32 And that / which cometh into 
your mind shall not be at all, that 
ye say, We will be as the heathen, 
as the families of the countries, to 
serve wood and stone. 

33 As I live, saith the Lord God, 
surely with a mighty hand, 9 and 
with a stretched-out arm, and 
with fury poured out, will I rule 
over you: 

34 And I will bring you out from 
the people, and will gather you 
out of the countries wherein ye 
are scattered, with a mighty hand, 
and with a stretched-out arm, and 
with fury poured out. 

35 And I will bring you into the

Prophecy against Israel 



■wilderness of the people, and there 
will* I plead with you face to face. 

36 Like * as I pleaded with your 
fathers in the wilderness of the 
land of Egypt, so will I plead with 
you, saith the Lord God. 

37 And I will cause you to * pass 
under the rod, and I will bring you 
into 6 the bond of the covenant: 

38 And* I will purge out from 
among you the rebels, and them 
that transgress against me: I will 
bring them forth out of the coun- 
try where they sojourn, and l they 
shall not enter into the land of 
Israel: and ye shall know that I 
am the Lord. 

39 As for you, house of Israel, 
thus saith the Lord God; m Go ye, 
serve ye every one his idols, and 
hereafter also, if ye will not hear- 
ken unto me: n but pollute ye my 
holy name no more with your 
gifts, and with your idols. 

40 For ° in mine holy mountain, 
in the mountain of the height of 
Israel, saith the Lord God, there 
shall all the house of Israel, all of 
them in the land, serve me: there 
will p I accept them, and there 
will I require your offerings, and 
the 7 first-fruits of your oblations, 
with all your holy things. 

41 I will accept you with your 
8 sweet savour, when I bring you 
out from the people, and gather 
you out of the countries wherein 
ye have been scattered; and I will 
be sanctified in you before the 
heathen. 

42 And q ye shall know that I am 
the Lord, r when I shall bring you 
into the land of Israel, into the 
country for the which I lilted up 
mine hand to give it to your fathers. 

43 And s there shall ye remember 
your ways, and all your doings, 
wherein ye have been defiled; and 
ye £ shall loathe yourselves in your 
own sight for all your evils that ye 
have committed. 

44 And M ye shall know that I am 
the Lord, when I have wrought 
with you * for my name's sake, 
not according to your wicked 
ways, nor according to your corrupt 
doings, O ye house of Israel, saith 
the Lord God. 

45 ^ Moreover the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying,

the south, and drop thy word to- 
ward the south, and prophesy

CHAPTER XXI. 

Ezekid prophesies against Israel with a 
sign of sighing, etc. 

AND the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

2 Son a of man, set thy face to- 
ward Jerusalem, and 6 drop thy 
word toward the holy c places, and 
prophesy against the land of Israel, 

3 And say to the land of Israel, 
Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am 
against thee, and will draw forth 
my sword out of his sheath, and 
will cut off from thee d the right- 
eous and the wicked. 

4 Seeing then that I will cut off 
from thee the righteous and the 
wicked, therefore shall my sword 
go forth out of his sheath against all 
flesh 6 from the south to the north; 

5 That all flesh may know that I 
the Lord have drawn forth my 
sword out of his sheath: it / shall 
not return any more. 

6 Sigh 9 therefore, thou son of 
man, with the breaking of thy loins; 
and with bitterness sigh before 
their eyes. 

7 And it shall be, when they say 
unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? 
that thou shalt answer, For the 
tidings, because it cometh: and 
every heart shall melt, and all 
hands shall be feeble, and every 
spirit shall faint, and all knees 
1 shall be weak as water: behold, 
it cometh, and shall be brought to 
pass, saith the Lord God. 

*8 % Again the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, 
Thus saith the Lord; Say, h A 
sword, a sword is sharpened, and 
also furbished: 

10 It is sharpened to make a sore 
slaughter; it is furbished that it 
may glitter: should we then make 
mirth? 2 it contemneth the rod of 
my son, as every tree. 

11 And he hath given it to be 
furbished, that it may be handled: 



Judgments threatened 



EZEKIEL, XXII. 



on the Ammonites. 



this sword is sharpened, and it is 
furbished, to give it into the hand 
of the slayer. 

12 Cry and howl, son of man; for 
it shall be upon my people, it shall 
be upon all the princes of Israel: 
3 terrors by reason of the sword 
shall be upon my people: * smite 
therefore upon thy thigh. 

13 4 Because it is i a trial, and 
what if the sword contemn even the 
rod? it shall be no more, saith the 
Lord God. 

14 Thou therefore, son of man, 
prophesy, and smite thine 5 hands 
together, and let the sword be 
doubled the third time, the sword 
of the slain : it is the sword of the 
great men that are slain, which en- 
tereth into their k privy chambers. 

15 I have set the 6 point of the 
sword against all their gates, that 
their heart may faint, and their ruins 
be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, 
it is 7 wrapped up for the slaughter. 

16 Go { thee one way or other, 
either on the right hand, 8 or on the 
left, whithersoever thy face is 
set. 

17 I will also m smite mine hands 
together, and n I will cause my fury 
to rest: I the Lord have said it. 

18 ^ The word of the Lord came 
unto me again, saying, 

19 Also, thou son of man, appoint 
thee two ways, that the sword of 
the king of Babylon may come : 
both twain shall come forth out of 
one land: and choose thou a place, 
choose it at the head of the way to 
the city. 

20 Appoint a way, that the sword 
may come to ° Rabbath of the 
Ammonites, and to Judah in Jeru- 
salem the defenced. 

21 For the king of Babylon stood 
at the 9 parting of the way, at the 
head of the two ways, to use divina- 
tion: he made his 10 arrows bright, 
he consulted with u images, he 
looked in the liver. 

22 At his right hand was the 
divination for Jerusalem, to ap- 
point 12 captains, to open the 
mouth in the slaughter, to p lift up 
the voice with shouting, 2 to ap- 
point battering-rams against the 
gates, to cast a mount, and to 
build a fort. 

23 And it shall be unto them as 
a false divination in their sight, 
13 to them that have r sworn oaths: 
but he will call to remembrance the 
iniquity, that, they may be taken. 

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord

God; Because ye have made your 
iniquity to be remembered, in that 
your transgressions are discovered, 
so that in all your doings your sins 
do appear; because, I say, that ye 
are come to remembrance, ye shall 
be taken with the hand.

even say thou, The sword, the

it is furbished, to consume because 
of the glittering: 

29 "Whiles they see vanity unto 
thee, whiles they divine a lie unto 
thee, to bring thee upon the necks 
of them that are slain, of the wicked, 
whose day is come, when their ini- 
quity shall have an end. 

30 15 Shall I cause it to return into

31 And I will pour out mine in- 
dignation upon thee, I will blow 
against thee in the tire of my 
wrath, and deliver thee into the 
hand of 1S brutish men, and skilful

more remembered: for I the Lord 
have spoken it. 

CHAPTER XXII. 

1 Sins of the Jews. 15 Their dispersion. 

MOEEOVER the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou 
1 judge, wilt thou judge the 2 bloody 
city? yea, thou snalt 3 show her all 
her abominations. 

3 Then say thou, Thus saith the 
Lord God; The city sheddeth blood 
in the midst of it, that her time 
may come, and maketh a idols 
against herself to defile herself. 

4 Thou art become guilty in thy 
blood that thou hast b shed; and 
hast defiled thyself in thine idols 
which thou hast made; and thou

on Israel and Judah. 



hast caused thy days to draw near, 
and art come even nnto thy years: 
therefore c have 1 made thee a re- 
proach unto the heathen, and a 
mocking to all countries. 

5 Those that be near, and those that 
be far from thee, shall mock thee, 
which art 4 infamous and much 
vexed. 

6 Behold, d the princes of Israel, 
every one were in thee to their 
5 power to shed Wood. 

7 In thee have they e set light by 
father and mother; in the midst 
of thee have they dealt by 6 op- 
pression with the stranger; in thee 
have they vexed the fatherless and 
the widow. 

8 Thou hast despised mine holy 
things, and hast t profaned my 
sabbaths. 

9 In thee are 7 men that carry 
tales to shed blood; and in thee 
they eat upon the mountains; in 
the midst of thee they commit 
lewdness; 

10 In thee have they 9 discovered 
their father's nakedness; in thee 
have they humbled her that was 
set fl apart for pollution. 

11 And 8 one hath committed 
abomination with » his neighbour's 
wife; and 9 another hath lewdly 
defiled his daughter-in-law; and 
another in thee hath humbled his 
sister, his father's daughter. 

12 In thee i have they taken gifts 
to shed blood; * thou hast taken 
usury and increase, and thou hast 
greedily gained of thy neighbours 
by extortion, and l hast forgotten 
me, saith the Lord God. 

13 Behold, therefore I m have 
smitten mine hand at thy dishon- 
est gain which thou hast made, 
and at thy blood which hath been 
m the midst of thee. 

14 Can n thine heart endure, or 
can thine hands be strong, in the 
days that I shall deal with thee? 
I ° the Lord have spoken it, and 
will do it. 

15 And p I will scatter thee among 
the heathen, and disperse thee in 
the countries, and will consume 
thy filthiness out of thee.

nace; they are even the u dross of 
silver. 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Because ye are all become 
dross, behold, therefore I will gather 
you into the midst of Jerusalem. 

20 12 As they gather silver, and 
brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, 
into the midst of the furnace, to 
blow the fire upon it, to melt it; 
so will I gather you in mine anger 
and in my fury, and I will leave 
you there, and melt you. 

21 Yea, I will gather you, and 
blow upon you in the fire of my 
wrath, and ye shall be melted in 
the midst thereof. 

22 As silver is melted in the midst 
of the furnace, so shall ye be melted 
in the midst thereof; and ye shall 
know that I the Lord have poured 
out my fury upon you.

came unto me, saying, 

24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou 
art the land that is not cleansed, 
nor rained upon in the day of in- 
dignation. 

25 There * is a conspiracy of her 
prophets in the midst thereof, like 
a roaring lion ravening the prey: 
they ' have devoured souls; u they 
have taken the treasure and pre- 
cious things; they have made her 
many widows in the midst thereof. 

26 Her v priests have 13 violated 
my law, and have w profaned mine 
holy things: they have put x no 
difference between the holy and 
profane, neither have they showed 
difference between the unclean and 
the clean, and have hid their eyes 
from my sabbaths, and I am pro- 
faned among them. 

27 Her v princes in the midst 
thereof are like wolves ravening 
the prey, to shed blood, and to 
destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 

28 And z her prophets have daub- 
ed them with untempered mortar, 
seeing vanity, and divining lies 
unto them, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord God, when the Lord hath 
not spoken. 

29 The a people of the land have 
used 14 oppression, and exercised 
robbery, and have vexed the poor 
and needy ; yea, they have op- 
pressed the stranger 15 wrongfully. 

30 And b I sought for a man 
among them, that should make up 
the hedge, and stand in the ° gap 
before me for the land, that I should 
not destroy it; but I found none.

CHAPTER XXILL 

. Whoredoms of Ahoiah and Aholibah. 

THE word of the Lord came 
again unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, there were two 
women, a the daughters of one 
mother; 

3 And b they committed whore- 
doms in Egypt; they committed 
whoredoms in their youth: there 
were their breasts pressed, and 
there they bruised the teats of 
their virginity. 

4 And the names of them were 
Ahoiah the elder, and Aholibah 
her sister; and they were mine, 
and they bare sons and daughters. 
Thus were their names; Samaria is 
1 Ahoiah, and Jerusalem 2 Aholi- 
bah. 

5 And Ahoiah played the harlot 
when she was mine; and she doted 
on her lovers, on c the Assyrians 
her neighbours, 

6 Which were clothed with blue, 
captains and rulers, all of them 
desirable young men, horsemen 
riding upon horses. 

7 ' Thus she 3 committed her 
whoredoms with them, with all 
them that were 4 the chosen men of 
Assyria, and with all on whom she 
doted: with all their idols she de- 
filed herself. 

8 Neither left she her whoredoms 
brought from Egypt: for in her 
youth they lay with her, and they 
bruised the breasts of her virginity, 
and poured their whoredom upon 
her. 

9 Wherefore I have delivered her 
into the hand of her lovers, into 
the hand of d the Assyrians, upon 
whom she doted. 

10 These 6 discovered her naked- 
ness: they took her sons and her 
daughters, and slew her with the 
sword: and she became 6 famous 
among women; for they had exe- 
cuted judgment upon her. 

11 And when her sister Aholibah 
saw this, 6 she was more corrupt in 
her inordinate love than she, and 
in her whoredoms 7 more than her 
sister in her whoredoms. 

12 She doted upon the-'' Assyrians 
her neighbours, captains and rulers 
clothed most gorgeously, horsemen

riding upon horses, all of them de- 
sirable young men. 

13 Then I saw that she was de- 
filed, that they took both one way, 

14 And that she increased her 
whoredoms: for when she saw men 
pourtrayed upon the wall, 9 the 
images of the Chaldeans pour- 
trayed with vermilion, 

15 Girded with girdles upon their 
loins, exceeding in dyed attire 
upon their heads, all of them 
princes to look to, after the man- 
ner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, 
the land of their nativity: 

16 And 8 as soon as she saw them 
with her eyes, she doted upon 
them, and sent messengers unto 
them into Chaldea. 

17 And the 9 Babylonians came 
to her into the bed of love, and 
they defiled her with their whore- 
dom, and she was polluted with 
them, and her mind was 10 alien- 
ated from them. 

18 So she discovered her whore- 
doms, and discovered her naked- 
ness: then A my mind was alienated 
from her, like as my mind was 
alienated from her sister. 

19 Yet she multiplied her whore- 
doms, in calling to remembrance 
the days of her youth, wherein she 
had played the harlot in the land 
of Egypt. 

20 For she doted upon their para- 
mours, whose * flesh is as the flesh 
of asses, and whose issue is like the 
issue of horses. 

21 Thus thou calledst to remem- 
brance the lewdness of thy youth, 
in bruising thy teats by the Egyp- 
tians for the paps of thy youth. 

22 % Therefore, O Aholibah, thus 
saith the Lord God; J Behold, I 
will raise up thy lovers against 
thee, from whom thy mind is 
alienated, and I will bring them 
against thee on every side; 

23 The Babylonians, and all the 
Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and 
Koa, and all the Assyrians with 
them: all of them desirable young 
men, captains and rulers, great 
lords and renowned, all of them 
riding upon horses. 

24 And they shall come against 
thee k with chariots, wagons, and 
wheels, and with an assembly of 
people, which shall set against thee 
buckler and shield and helmet 
round about: and I will set judg- 
ment before them, and they shall 
judge l thee according to their 
judgments. 



Of the sins and qpostacy 



EZEKIEL, XXIII 



of Samaria and Jerusalem. 



25 And I will set my jealousy 
against thee, and they shall deal 
furiously with thee: they shall take 
away thy nose and thine ears; and 
thy remnant shall fall by the 
sword: they shall take thy sons 
and thy daughters; and thy residue 
shall be devoured by the tire. 

26 They m shall also strip thee out 
of thy clothes, and take away 
thy n fair jewels. 

27 Thus n will I make thy lewd- 
ness to cease from thee, and thy 
whoredom brought from the land 
of Egypt: so that thou shalt not 
lift up thine eyes unto them, nor 
remember Egypt any more. 

28 For thus saith the Lord God; 
Behold, I will deliver thee into 
the hand of them whom ° thou ha- 
test, into the hand of them from 
whom thy mind is alienated: 

29 And they shall deal with thee 
hatefully, and shall take away all 
thy labour, and shall p leave thee 
naked and bare; and the naked- 
ness of thy whoredoms shall be 
discovered, both thy lewdness and 
thy whoredoms. 

30 1 will do these things unto thee, 
because thou hast gone q a whoring 
after the heathen, and because thou 
art polluted with their idols. 

31 Thou hast walked in the way 
of thy sister; therefore will I give 
her r cup into thine hand. 

32 Thus saith the Lord God; Thou 
shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep 
and large: thou s shalt be laughed 
to scorn and had in derision; it 
containeth much. 

33 Thou shalt be filled with 
drunkenness and sorrow, with the 
cup of astonishment and desola- 
tion, with the cup of thy sister 
Samaria. 

34 Thou shalt t even drink it and 
suck it out, and thou shalt break 
the sherds thereof, and pluck off 
thine own breasts: for I have 
spoken it, saith the Lord God. 

35 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Because u thou hast forgotten 
me, and cast " me behind thy 
back, therefore bear thou also thy 
lewdness and thy whoredoms. 

36 % The Lord said moreover 
unto me; Son of man, wilt thou 
12 judge Aholah and Aholibah ? 
yea, w declare unto them their 
abominations; 

37 That they have committed 
adultery, and x blood is in their 
hands, and with their idols have 
they committed adultery, and have

also caused their sons, y whom they 
bare unto me, to pass for them 
through the fire, to devour them. 

38 Moreover this they have done 
unto me: they have defiled my 
sanctuary in the same day, x and 
have profaned my sabbaths. 

39 For when they had slain their 
children to their idols, then they 
came the same day into my sanc- 
tuary to profane it; and, lo, a thus 
have they done in the midst of 
mine house. 

40 And furthermore, that ye have 
sent for men 13 to come from far, 
unto h whom a messenger was sent; 
and, lo, they came: for whom thou 
didst c wash thyself, d paintedst 
thine eyes, and deckedst thyself 
with ornaments, 

41 And satest upon M a stately 
bed, and a table prepared before 
it, e whereupon thou hast set mine 
incense and mine oil. 

42 And a voice of a multitude 
being at ease was with her: and 
with the men 15 of the common 
sort were brought 16 Sabeans from 
the wilderness, which put bracelets 
upon their hands, and beautiful 
crowns upon their heads. 

43 Then said I unto her that was 
old in adulteries, Will they now 
commit 17 whoredoms with her, 
and she with them? 

44 Yet they went in unto her, as 
they go in unto a woman that 
playeth the harlot: so went they 
in unto Aholah and unto Aholi- 
bah, the lewd women. 

45 ^ And the righteous men, they 
shall judge/ them after the man- 
ner of adulteresses, and after the 
manner of women that shed blood; 
because they are adulteresses, and 
blood is in their hands. 

46 For thus saith the Lord God; 
I will bring up a company upon 
them, and will give them 18 to be 
removed and spoiled. 

47 And 9 the company shall stone 
them with stones, and 19 dispatch 



them with their swore 



they 



shall slay their sons and their 
daughters, and burn up their 
houses with fire. 

48 Thus will I cause lewdness to 
cease out of the land, * that all 
women may be taught not to do 
after your lewdness. 

49 And they shall recompense 
your lewdness upon you, and ye 
shall bear the sins of your idols; 
and ye shall know that I am the 
Lord God. 



Parable of the boiling pot, 



EZEKIEL, XXIV. showing Jerusalem! & destruction. 



CHAPTER XXIV. 

By a boiling pot is shown Jerusalem's 
destruction. 

AGAIN, in the ninth year, in the 
tenth month, in the tenth day 
of the month, the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, Write thee the 
name of the day, even of this same 
day: the king of Babylon set him- 
self against Jerusalem this a same 
day. 

3 And b utter a parable unto the 
rebellious house, and say unto 
them, Thus saith the Lord God; 
Set c on a pot, set it on, and also 
pour water into it: 

4 Gather the pieces thereof into 
it, even every good piece, the thigh, 
and the shoulder; fill it with the 
choice bones. 

5 Take the choice of the flock, 
and 1 burn also the bones under 
it, and make it boil well, and let 
them seethe the bones of it therein. 

6 ij Wherefore thus saith the 
Lord God; Woe to d the bloody 
city, to the pot whose scum is 
therein, and whose scum is not 
gone out of it! bring it out piece by 
piece; let no 6 lot fall upon it. 

7 For her blood is in the midst of 
her; she set it upon the top of a 
rock; / she poured it not upon the 
ground, to cover it with dust; 

8 That it might cause fury to 
come up to take vengeance; s I 
have set her blood upon the top of 
a rock, that it should not be cov- 
ered. 

. 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; h Woe to the bloody cityl I 
will even make the pile for fire 
great. 

10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, 
consume the flesh, and spice it 
well, and let the bones be burnt. 

11 Then set it empty upon the 
coals thereof, that the brass of it 
may be hot, and may burn, and 
that * the filthiness of it may be 
molten in it, that the scum of it 
may be consumed. 

12 She hath wearied 2 herself with 
lies, and her great scum went not 
forth out of her: her scum shall be 
in the fire. 

13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: 
because i 1 have purged thee, and 
thou wast not purged, thou shalt 
not be purged from thy filthiness 
any more, * till 1 have caused my 
fury to rest upon thee. 

14 I l the Lord have spoken it: it

shall come to pass, and I will do 
it; I will not go back, m neither 
will I spare, neither will I repent: 
according to thy ways, and accord- 
ing to thy doings, shall they judge 
thee, saith the Lord God. 

15 if Also the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

16 Son of man, behold, I take 
away from thee the desire of thine 
eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt 
thou mourn nor weep, neither shall 
thy tears 3 run down. 

17 4 Forbear to cry, n make no 
mourning for the dead, ° bind the 
tire of thine head upon thee, and 
put p on thy shoes upon thy feet, 
and q cover not thy 5 lips, and eat 
not the bread of men. 

18 So I spake unto the people in 
the morning; and at even my wife 
died: and I did in the morning as 
I was commanded. 

19 IT And the people said unto 
me, r Wilt thou not tell us what 
these things are to us, that thou 
doest so? 

20 Then I answered them, The 
word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

21 Speak unto the house of Israel, 
Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
I s will profane my sanctuary, the 
excellency of your strength, * the 
desire of your eyes, and 6 that 
which your soul pitieth; and your 
sons and your daughters whom ye 
have left shall fall by the sword. 

22 And ye shall do as I have 
done: w ye shall not cover your 
lips, nor eat the bread of men. 

23 And your tires shall be upon 
your heads, and your shoes upon 
your feet: " ye shall not mourn nor 
weep; but w ye shall pine away for 
your iniquities, and mourn one 
toward another. 

24 Thus x Ezekiel is unto you a 
sign: according to all that he hath 
done shall ye do; y and when this 
cometh, * ye shall know that I am 
the Lord God. 

25 Also, thou son of man, shall it 
not be, in the day when I take 
from them their strength, the joy 
of their glory, the desire of their 
eyes, and 7 that whereupon they 
set their minds, their sons and 
their daughters, 

26 That he that escapeth in that 
day shall come unto thee, to cause 
thee to hear it with thine ears? 

27 In a that day shall thy mouth 
be opened to him which is escaped, 
and thou shalt speak, and be no

more dumb: and thou shalt be a

know that I am the Lord. 
CHAPTER XXV. 

God's vengeance on tlie Ammonites, Moab, 
Seir, and upon the Philistines. 

THE word of the Lord came 
again unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man; set thy a face 
against the Ammonites, and pro- 
phesy against them; 

3 And say unto the Ammonites, 
Hear the word of the Lord God; 
Thus saith the Lord God; b Be- 
cause thou saidst, Aha, against my 
sanctuary, when it was profaned; 
and against the land of Israel, 
when it was desolate; and against 
the house of Judah, when they 
went into captivity; 

4 Behold, therefore I will deliver 
thee to the x men of the east for a 
possession, and they shall set their 
palaces in thee, and make their 
dwellings in thee: they shall eat 
thy fruit, and they shall c drink 
thy milk. 

5 And I will make d Rabbah a 
stable for camels, and the Am- 
monites a couching place for flocks; 
and ye shall know that I am the 
Lord. 

6 For thus saith the Lord God; 
Because thou hast clapped thine 

2 hands, and stamped with the 

3 feet, and rejoiced in 4 heart with 
all thy despite against the land of

7 Behold, therefore I will stretch 
out mine hand upon thee, and 
will deliver thee for 5 a spoil to the 
heathen; and I will cut thee off 
from the people, and I will cause 
thee to perish out of the countries:

from his cities which are on his 
frontiers, the glory of the country, 
Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and 
Kiriathaim, 

10 Unto the men of the east 
' with the Ammonites, and will

Because / that Edom hath dealt 
against the house of Judah 8 by 
taking vengeance, and hath great- 
ly offended, and revenged himself 
upon them; 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; I will also stretch out mine 
hand upon Edom, and will cut off 
man and beast from it; and I will 
make it desolate from Teman; and 
9 they of Dedan shall fall by the 
sword. 

14 And 9 1 will lay my vengeance 
upon Edom by the hand of my 
people Israel: and they shall do in 
Edom according to mine anger 
and according to my fury; and they 
shall know my vengeance, saith 
the Lord God. 

\b % Thus saith the Lord God; 
Because h the Philistines have dealt 
by revenge, and have taken ven- 
geance with a despiteful heart, to 
destroy it 10 for the old hatred; 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, * I will stretch out 
mine hand upon the Philistines, 
and I will cut off-' the Cherethims, 
and destroy the remnant of the 
11 sea-coast. 

17 And I will execute great 12 ven- 
geance upon them with furious 
rebukes; and they shall k know 
that I am the Lord, when I shall 
lay my vengeance upon them. 

CHAPTER XXVI. 
Judgment of Tyrus by Nebuchadrezzar. 

AND it came to pass in the 
eleventh year, in the first day 
of the month, that the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, a because that 
Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, 
Aha! b she is broken that was c the 
gates of the people; she is d turned 
unto me; I shall be replenished, 
now she is laid waste: 

3 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I am against thee, 
O Tyrus, and will cause many 
nations to come up against thee, 
as the sea causeth his waves to 
come up. 

4 And they shall destroy the walls 
of Tyrus, and break down her 
towers: I will also scrape her dust 
from her, and make her like the 
top of a rock. 

5 It shall be a place for the spread- 
ing of nets " in the midst of the 
sea: for I have spoken it, saith the 
Lord God: and it shall become a 
spoil to the nations. 

6 And her daughters which are 
in the field shall be slain by the

sword; /and they shall know that 
I am the Lord. 

7 % For thus saith the Lord God; 
Behold, I will hring upon Tyrus 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 
a 9 king of kings, from the north, 
with horses, and with chariots, 
and with horsemen, and com- 
panies, and much people. 

8 He shall slay with the sword 
thy daughters in the field; and he 
shall h make a fort against thee, 
and 1 cast a mount against thee, 
and lift up the buckler against 
thee. 

9 And he shall set engines of war 
against thy walls, and with his axes 
he shall break down thy towers. 

10 By reason of the abundance of 
his horses their dust shall cover 
thee: thy walls shall shake at the 
noise of the horsemen, and of the 
wheels, and of the chariots, when 
he shall enter into thy gates, 2 as 
men enter into a city wherein is 
made a breach. 

11 With the hoofs of his horses 
shall he tread down all thy streets: 
he shall slay thy people by the 
sword, and thy strong garrisons 
shall go down to the ground. 

12 And they shall make a spoil of 
thy riches, and make a prey of thy 
merchandise; and they shall break 
down thy walls, and destroy 3 thy 
pleasant houses: and they shall 
lay thy stones and thy timber and 
thy dust in the midst of the water. 

13 And » I will cause the noise of 
thy J songs to cease; and the sound 
of thy harps shall be no more heard. 

14 And I will make thee like the 
top of a rock: thou shalt be a place 
to spread nets upon; thou shalt be 
built no more: for I the Lord have 
spoken it, saith the Lord God. 

15 ^ Thus saith the Lord God to 
Tyrus; Shall not the isles k shake 
at the sound of thy fall, when the 
wounded cry, when the slaughter 
is made in the midst of thee? 

16 Then all the l princes of the 
sea shall come m down from their 
thrones, and lay away their robes, 
and put off their broidered gar- 
ments: they shall clothe themselves 
with i trembling; " they shall sit 
upon the ground, and ° shall trem- 
ble at every moment, and p be 
astonished at thee. 

17 And they shall take up 2 a 
lamentation for thee, and say to 
thee, How art thou destroyed that 
wast inhabited 6 of sea-faring men, 
the renowned city, which wast

pit, that thou be not inhabited;

thou be sought for, yet w shalt thou 
never be found again, saith the 
Lord God. 

CHAPTER XXVn. 

Great and irrecoverable fall of Tyrus. 

I^HE word of the Lord came 
- again unto me, saying, 

2 Now, thou son of man, a take 
up a lamentation for Tyrus; 

3 And say unto Tyrus, b O thou 
that art situate at the entry of the 
sea, which art a c merchant of the 
people for many isles, Thus saith 
the Lord God; Tyrus, thou hast 
said, lam 1 of perfect beauty. 

4-#?hy borders are in the 2 midst 
of the seas, thy builders have per- 
fected thy beauty. 

5 They have 3 made all thy ship 
boards of fir trees of d Senir: they 
have taken cedars from Lebanon 
to make masts for thee. 

6 Of the oaks of Bashari have they 
made thine oars; 4 the company 
of the Ashurites have made thy 
benches of ivory, brought out 6 of 
the isles of Chittim. 

7 Fine linen with broidered work 
from Egypt was that which thou 
spreadest forth to be thy sail; 5 blue 
and purple from the isles of / Elish- 
ah was that which covered thee. 

8 The inhabitants of Zidon and 
Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise 
men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, 
were thy pilots. 

9 The ancients of 9 Gebal and the 
wise men thereof were in thee thy 
s calkers: all the ships of the sea 
with their mariners were in thee 
to occupy thy merchandise.

10 They of Persia and of Lud and 
of h Phut were in thine army, thy 
men of war: they hanged the shield 
and helmet in thee; they set forth 
thy comeliness. 

11 The men of Arvad with thine 
army were upon thy walls round 
about, and the Gammadims were 
in thy towers: they hanged their 
shields upon thy walls round about; 
they have made thy beauty perfect. 

12 Tarshish * was thy merchant 
by reason of the multitude of all 
kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, 
and lead, they traded in thy fairs 

13 i Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, 
they were thy merchants: k they 
traded the persons of men and ves- 
sels of brass in thy 7 market. 

14 They of the house of l Togar- 
mah traded in thy fairs with 
horses and horsemen and mules. 

15 The men of "* Dedan were thy 
merchants; many isles were the 
merchandise of thine hand: they 
brought thee for a present horns of 
ivoiy and ebony. 

16 Syria was thy merchant by 
reason of the multitude of 8 the 
wares of thy making: they occu- 
pied in thy fairs with emeralds, 
purple, and broidered work, and 
tine linen, and coral, and 9 agate. 

17 Judah, and the land of Israel, 
they were thy merchants: they

Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, 
and oil, and 10 balm. 

18 Damascus was thy merchant in 
the multitude of the wares of thy 
making, for the multitude of all 
riches; in the wine of Helbon, and

19 Dan also and Javan n going 
to and fro occupied in thy fairs: 
bright iron, cassia, and calamus, 
were in thy market 

20 Dedan ° was thy merchant in 
12 precious clothes for chariots. 

21 Arabia, and all the princes p of 
Kedar, ^ they occupied with thee 
in lambs, and rams, and goats: in 
these were they thy merchants. 

22 The merchants of 2 Sheba 
and Eaamah, they were thy mer- 
chants: they occupied in thy fairs 
with chief of all spices, and with 
all precious stones, and gold. 

23 r Haran, and Canneh, and 
Eden, the merchants of s Sheba,

Restoration of Israel. 



2 Son of man, say unto the prince 
of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; 
Because a thine heart is lifted up, 
and thou hast said, I aw a god, I 
sit in the seat of God, in the * midst 
of the seas; h yet thou art a man, 
and not God, though thou set thine 
heart as the heart of God: 

3 Behold, c thou art wiser than 
Daniel; there is no secret that they 
can hide from thee: 

4 With thy wisdom and with 
thine understanding thou hast 
gotten thee riches, and hast gotten 
gold and silver into thy treasures: 

5 2 By thy great wisdom and by 
thy traffic hast thou increased thy 
riches, and thine heart is lifted up 
because d of thy riches: 

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Because thou hast set 6 thine 
heart as the heart of God; 

7 Behold, therefore I will bring 
strangers upon thee, / the terrible 
of the nations: and they shall draw 
their swords against the beauty of 
thy wisdom, and they shall defile 
thy brightness. 

8 They shall bring thee down to 
the pit, and thou shalt die the 
deaths of them that are slain in the 
midst of the seas. 

9 Wilt thou yet say before him 
that slayeth thee, I am God? but 
thou shalt be a man, and no god, 
in the hand of him that 3 slayeth 
thee. 

10 Thou shalt die the deaths of 
the 9 uncircumcised by the hand 
of strangers: for I have spoken it, 
saith the Lord God. 

11 ^ Moreover the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

12 Son of man, take up a lamen- 
tation upon the king of Tyrus, 
and say unto him, Thus saith the 
Lord God; A Thou sealest up the 
sum, full of wisdom, and perfect 
in beauty. 

13 Thou hast been in * Eden the 
garden of God ; every precious 
stone was thy covering, the 4 sar- 
dius, topaz, and the diamond, the 
6 beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, 
the sapphire, the 6 emerald, and 
the carbuncle, and gold: the work- 
manship of i thy tabrets and of 
thy pipes was prepared in thee in 
the day that thou wast created. 

14 Thou art the anointed k cherub 
that covereth; and I have set thee 
so: thou wast upon l the holy 
mountain of God; thou hast 
walked up and down in the midst 
of the stones of fire.

CHAPTER XXIX. 
Judgment of Pharaoh: desolation of Egypt. 

IN the tenth year, in the tenth 
month, in the twelfth day of the 
month, the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, set thy face against 
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and pro- 
phesy against him, and a against 
all Egypt: 

3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the 
Lord God; 6 Behold, I am against

midst of his rivers, d which hath 
said, My river is mine own, and I 
have made it for myself. 

4 But 6 1 will put hooks in thy 
jaws, and I will cause the fish of 
thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, 
and I will bring thee up out of the 
midst of thy rivers, and all the fish 
of thy rivers shall stick unto thy 
scales. 

5 And I will leave thee thrown 
into the wilderness, thee and all 
the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt 
fall upon the 1 open fields; / thou 
shalt not be brought together, nor 
gathered: 9 I have given thee for 
meat to the beasts of the field and 
to the fowls of the heaven. 

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt 
shall know that I am the Lord, 
because they have been a h staff of 
reed to the house of Israel 

7 When * they took hold of thee 
by thy hand, thou didst break, and 
rend all their shoulder; and when 
they leaned upon thee, thou bra- 
kest, and madest all their loins to 
be at a stand. 

8 K Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I will bring a sword 
upon thee, and cut off man and 
beast out of thee. 

9 And the land of Egypt shall be 
desolate and waste; and they shall 
know that I am the Lord: i be- 
cause he hath said, The river is 
mine, and I have made it. 

10 Behold, therefore I am against 
thee, and against thy rivers, k and 

1 will make the land of Egypt 

2 utterly waste and desolate, 3 from

border of Ethiopia. 

II No l foot of man shall pass

12 And m I will make the land of 
Egypt desolate in the midst of the 
countries that are desolate, and her 
cities among the cities that are laid 
waste shall be desolate forty years: 
and I will scatter the Egyptians 
among the nations, and will dis- 
perse them through the countries. 

13 U Yet thus saith the Lord God; 
At the end n of forty years will I 
gather the Egyptians from the peo- 
ple whither they were scattered: 

14 And I will bring again the 
captivity of Egypt, and will cause 
them to return into the land of 
Pathros, into the land of their 
5 habitation; and they shall be 
there a 6 base kingdom. 

15 It shall be the basest of the 
kingdoms; neither shall it exalt 
itself any more above the nations: 
fori will diminish them, that they 
shall no more rule over the na- 
tions. 

16 And it shall be no more ° the 
confidence of the house of Israel, 
which bringeth their iniquity to 
remembrance, when they shall look 
after them: but they shall know 
that I am the Lord God. 

17 % And it came to pass in the 
seven and twentieth year, in the 
first month, in the first day of the 
month, the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

18 Son of man, f Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon caused his army 
to serve a great service against 
Tyrus: every head was made bald, 
and every shoulder was peeled; yet 
had he no wages, nor his army, for 
Tyrus, for the service that he had 
served against it: 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I will give the land 
of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon; and he shall take 
her multitude, and 7 take her spoil, 
and take her prey; and it shall be 
the wages for his army. 

20 I have given him the land of 
Egypt 8 for his labour wherewith 
he q served against it, because they 
wrought for me, saith the Lord 
God. 

21 In that day r will I cause the 
horn of the house of Israel to bud 
forth, and I will give thee * the 
opening of the mouth in the midst 
of them; and they shall know that 
I am the Lord. 

CHAPTER XXX. 

Desolation of Egypt and her helpers. 

THE word of the Lord came 
again unto me, saying, 



The destruction

of Egypt. 



2 Son of man, prophesy and say, 
Thus saith the Lord God; a Howl 
ye, Woe worth the day! 

3 For & the day is near, even the 
day of the Lord is near, a cloudy 
day; it shall be the time of the 
heathen. 

4 And the sword shall come upon 
Egypt, and great x pain shall be in 
Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall 
in Egypt, and they shall ° take 
away her multitude, and d her 
foundations shall be broken down. 

5 Ethiopia, and 2 Libya, and Ly- 
dia, and all e the mingled people, 
and Chub, and the 3 men of the 
land that is in league, shall fall 
with them by the sword. 

6 Thus saith the Lord; They 
also that uphold Egypt shall fall; 
and the pride of her power shall 
come down: 4 from the tower of 
Syene shall they fall in it by the 
sword, saith the Lord God. 

7 And / they shall be desolate in 
the midst of the countries that are 
desolate, and her cities shall be in 
the midst of the cities that are 
wasted. 

8 And they shall know that I am 
the Lord, when I have set a fire in 
Egypt, and when all her helpers 
shall be 5 destroyed. 

9 In that day y shall messengers 
go forth from me in ships to make 
the careless Ethiopians afraid, and 
great h pain shall come upon them, 
as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it 
cometh. 

10 Thus saith the Lord God; * I 
will also make the multitude of 
Egypt to cease by the hand of 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 

11 He and his people with him, 
the i terrible of the nations, shall 
be brought to destroy the land: 
and they shall draw their swords 
against Egypt, and fill the land 
with the slain. 

12 And I will make the rivers 
6 dry, and sell * the land into the 
hand of the wicked; and I will 
make the land waste, and 7 all 
that is therein, by the hand of 
strangers: I the Lord have spoken 
it. 

13 Thus saith the Lord God; I 
will also destroy l the idols, and I 
will cause their 8 images to cease 
out of 9 Noph; and m there shall be 
no more a prince of the land of 
Egypt: n and I will put a fear in 
the land of Egypt. 

14 And I will make ° Pathros 
desolate, and will set fire in 10 Zoan,

15 And I will pour my fury upon 
12 Sin, the strength of Egypt; and 
I will cut off the multitude of No. 

16 And I will set fire in Egypt: 
Sin shall have great pain, and No 
shall be rent asunder, and Noph 
shall have distresses daily. 

17 The young men of 13 Aven and 
of 14 Phi-beseth shall fall by the 
sword: and these cities shall go into 
captivity. 

18 At p Tehaphnehes also the day 
shall be 15 darkened, when I shall

and the pomp of her strength shall 
cease in her: as for her, a cloud 
shall cover her, and her daughters

in Egypt: and they shall know that 
I am the Lord. 

20 ^f And it came to pass in the 
eleventh year, in the first month, in 
the seventh day of the month, that 
the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

21 Son of man, I have q broken the 
arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, 
lo, T it shall not be bound up to be 
healed, to put a roller to bind it, to 
make it strong to hold the sword. 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh 
king of Egypt, and will s break his 
arms, the strong, and * that which 
was broken; and I will cause the 
sword to fall out of his hand. 

23 And u I will scatter the Egyp- 
tians among the nations, and will 
disperse them through the countries. 

24 And I will strengthen the arms 
of the king of Babylon, and put my 
sword in his hand: but I will break 
Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan 
before him with the groanings of 
a deadly-wounded man. 

25 But I will strengthen the arms 
of the king of Babylon, and the 
arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; 
and " they shall know that I am the 
Lord, when I shall put my sword 
into the hand of the king of 
Babylon, and he shall stretch it 
out upon w the land of Egypt. 

26 And I will scatter the Egyp- 
tians among the nations, and 
disperse them among the coun- 
tries; and they shall know that I 
am the Lord. 

CHAPTER XXXI. 

1 Glory of Assyria. 10 Its great fall. 

AND it came to pass in the 
eleventh year, in the third 



The destruction of Egypt 



EZEKIEL, XXXIL likened to the fall of Assyria. 



month, in the first day of the month, 
that the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh 
king of Egypt, and to his multi- 
tude; Whom art thou like in thy 
greatness? 

3 Behold, ° the Assyrian was a 
cedar in Lebanon x with fair bran- 
ches, andwith a shadowing shroud, 
and of an high stature; and his top 
was among the thick boughs. 

4 The waters 2 made him great, 
the deep 3 set him up on high with 
her rivers running round about 
his plants, and sent out her i little 
rivers unto all the trees of the field. 

5 Therefore 6 his heightwas exalted 
above all the trees of the field, and 
his boughs were multiplied, and his 
branches became long, because of 
the multitude of waters, 5 when 
he shot forth. 

6 All the c fowls of heaven made 
then nests in his boughs, and 
under his branches did all the 
beasts of the field bring forth their 
young, and under his shadow 
dwelt all great nations. 

7 Thus was he fair in his great- 
ness, in the length of his branches: 
for his root was by great waters. 

8 The cedars in the d garden of 
God could not hide him: the fir- 
trees were not Mice his boughs, and 
the chesnut trees were not like 
his branches; nor any tree in the 
garden of God was like unto him 
in his beauty. 

9 I e have made him fair by the 
multitude of his branches; so that 
all the trees of Eden, that were in 
the garden of God, envied him. 

10 ^f Therefore thus saith the 
Lord God; Because thou hast 
lifted up thyself in height, and he 
hath shot up his top among the 
thick boughs, and J his heart is 
lifted up in his height; 

11 1 have therefore delivered him 
into the hand of the mighty one 
of the heathen; 6 he shall surely 
deal with him: I have driven him 
out for his wickedness. 

12 And strangers, 9 the terrible of 
the nations, have cut him off, and 
have left him: A upon the moun- 
tains and in all the valleys his 
branches are fallen, and his boughs 
are broken by all the rivers of the 
land; and all the people of the 
earth are gone down from his 
shadow, and have left him. 

18 Upon » his ruin shall all the 
fowls of the heaven remain, and

14 To the end that none of all the 
trees by the waters exalt themselves 
for their height, neither shoot up 
their top among the thick boughs, 
neither their trees 7 stand up in 
their height, all that drink water: 
for i they are all delivered unto 
death, k to the nether parts of the 
earth, in the midst of the children 
of men, with them that go down 
to the pit. 

15 Thus saith the Lord God; In 
the day when he went down to 
the grave I caused a mourning: I 
covered the deep for him, and I 
restrained the floods thereof, and 
the great waters were stayed; and 
I caused Lebanon 8 to mourn 
for him, and all the trees of the 
field fainted for him. 

16 I made the nations l to shake 
at the sound of his fall, when m I 
cast him down to hell with them 
that descend into the pit: and " all 
the trees of Eden, the choice and 
best of Lebanon, all that drink 
water, shall ° be comforted in the 
nether parts of the earth. 

17 They also went down into hell 
with him unto them that be slain 
with the sword; and they that were 
his arm, that p dwelt under his 
shadow in the midstof the heathen, 

18 % To q whom art thou thus like 
in glory and in greatness among 
the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou 
be brought down with the trees of 
Eden unto the nether parts of the 
earth: r thou shalt lie in the midst 
of the uncircumcised with them that 
be slain by the sword. This 9 is 
Pharaoh and all his multitude, 
saith the Lord God. 

CHAPTER XXXIL 
Lamentation for the fall of Egypt. 

AND it came to pass in the 
twelfth year, in the twelfth 
month, in the first day of the 
month, that the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, a take up a lamen- 
tation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, 
and say unto him, Thou b art like 
a young lion of the nations, and 
thou c art as a 1 whale in the seas; 
and thou earnest forth with thy 
rivers, and troubledst the waters 
with thy feet, and fouledst * their 
rivers. 

3 Thus saith the Lord God; I will 
therefore e spread out my net over 
thee with a company of many

people; and they shall bring thee 
up in my net. 

4 Then / will I leave thee upon 
the land, I will cast thee forth upon 
the open field, and 9 will cause all 
the fowls of the heaven to remain 
upon thee, and I will fill the beasts 
of the whole earth with thee. 

5 And I will lay thy flesh h upon 
the mountains, and rill the valleys 
with thy height. 

• 6 I will also water with thy blood 
2 the land wherein thou swimmest, 
even to the mountains; and the 
rivers shall be full of thee. 

7 And when I shall 3 put thee 
out, * I will cover the heaven, and 
make the stars thereof dark; I will 
cover the sun with a cloud, and 
the moon shall not give her light. 

8 All the 4 bright lights of heaven 
will I make 5 dark over thee, and 
set darkness upon thy land, saith 
the Lord God. 

9 I will also 6 vex the hearts of 
many people, when I shall bring 
thy destruction among the nations, 
into the countries which thou hast 
not known. 

10 Yea, I will make many people 
amazed i at thee, and their kings 
shall be horribly afraid for thee, 
when I shall brandish my sword 
before them ; and k they shall 
tremble at every moment, every 
man for his own life, in the day of 
thy fall. 

11 ^ For l thus saith the Lord 
Gor>; The sword of the king of 
Babylon shall come upon thee. 

12 By the swords of the mighty 
will I cause thy multitude to fall, 
the m terrible of the nations, all of 
them; and n they shall spoil the 
pomp of Egypt, and all the multi- 
tude thereof shall be destroyed. 

13 I will destroy also all the beasts 
thereof from beside the great wa- 
ters; ° neither shall the foot of man 
trouble them any more, nor the 
hoofs of beasts trouble them. 

14 Then will I make their waters 
deep, and cause their rivers to run 
like oil, saith the Lord God. 

15 When I shall make the land 
of Egypt desolate, and the country 
shall be 7 destitute of that whereof 
it was full, when I shall smite all 
them that dwell therein, p then 
shall they know that 1 am the 
Lord.

were slain by the sword: they shall 
lie with the uncircumcised, and 
with them that go down to the 
pit. 

30 There ° he the princes of the 
north, all of them, and all h the 
Zidonians, which are gone down 
with the slain; with their terror 
they are ashamed of their might; 
and they lie uncircumcised with 
them that be slain by the sword, and 
bear their shame with them that 
go down to the pit. 

31 Pharaoh shall see them, and 
shall be comforted c over all his 
multitude, even Pharaoh and all 
his army slain by the sword, saith 
the Lord God. 

32 For I have caused my terror 
in the land of the living: and he 
shall be laid in the midst of the 
uncircumcised with them that are 
slain with the sword, even Pharaoh 
and all his multitude, saith the 
Lord God. 

CHAPTER XXXIII. 
Ezekiel is admonished of his duty. 

AGAIN the word of the Loed 
came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, speak to ° the chil- 
dren of thy people, and say unto 
them, l When I bring the sword 
upon a land, if the people of the 
land take a man of their coasts, 
and set him for their 5 watchman: 

3 If, when he seeth the sword 
come upon the land, he blow the 
trumpet, and warn the people; 

4 Then 2 whosoever heareth the 
sound of the trumpet, and taketh 
not warning; if the sword come 
and take him away, c his blood 
shall be upon his own head. 

5 He heard the sound of the 
trumpet, and took not warning; 
his blood shall be upon him. But 
he that taketh warning shall de- 
liver his soul. 

6 But if the watchman see the 
sword come, and d blow not the 
trumpet, and the people be not 
warned; if the sword come and 
take any person from among them, 
he is taken away in his iniquity;

but his blood will I require at the 
watchman's hand. 

7 So 6 thou, O son of man, I have 
set thee a watchman unto the 
house of Israel; therefore thou 
shalt hear the word at my mouth, 
and warn them from me. 

8 When I say unto the wicked, 
O / wicked man, thou shalt surely 
die; if thou dost not speak to warn 
the wicked from his way, that 
wicked man shall die in his in- 
iquity; but his blood will I require 
at thine hand. 

9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the 
wicked of his way to turn from it; 
if 9 he do not turn from his way, 
he shall die in his iniquity; but 
thou hast delivered thy soul. 

10 Therefore, O thou son of man, 
speak unto the house of Israel; 
Thus ye speak, saying, Lf our trans- 
gressions and our sins be upon us, 
and we h pine away in them, how 
should * we then live? 

11 Say unto them, As I live, saith 
the Lord God, i I have no pleasure 
in the death of the wicked; but 
that the wicked turn from his way 
and live : turn ye, turn ye from 
your evil ways; for k why will ye 
die, O house of Israel? 

12 Therefore, thou son of man, 
say unto the children of thy peo- 
ple, The l righteousness of the 
righteous shall not deliver him in 
the day of his transgression: as for 
the wickedness of the wicked, m he 
shall not fall thereby in the day 
that he turneth from his wicked- 
ness; neither shall the righteous be 
able to live for his righteousness in 
the day that he sinneth. 

13 When I shall say to the right- 
eous, that he shall surely live; M if 
he trust to his own righteousness, 
and commit iniquity, all his right- 
eousnesses shall not be remember- 
ed; but for his iniquity that he 
hath committed, he shall die for it. 

14 Again, when I say unto the 
wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if 
he turn from his sin, and do 3 that 
which is lawful and right; 

15 If the wicked ° restore the 
pledge, give p again that he had 
robbed, walk in the 2 statutes of 
life, without committing iniquity; 
he shall surely live, he shall not 
die. 

16 None r of his sins that he hath 
committed shall be mentioned un- 
to him: he hath done that which is 
lawful and right; he shall surely 
live. 



Hypocrisy of tlie Jews reproved. EZEKIEL, XXXIV. Wicked shepherds threatened. 



17 f Yet the children of thy peo- 
ple say, The way of the Lord is 
not equal: but, as for them, their 
way is not equal. 

18 When the righteous turneth 
from his righteousness, and com- 
mitteth iniquity, he shall even die 
thereby. 

19 But if the wicked turn from 
his wickedness, and do that which 
is lawful and right, he shall live 
thereby. 

20 Yet ye say, s The way of the 
Lord is not equal. O ye house of 
Israel, I will judge you every one 
after his ways. 

21 ^ And it came to pass in the 
twelfth year ' of our captivity, in 
the tenth month, in the fifth dap 
of the month, u that one that had 
escaped out of Jerusalem came unto 
me, saying, c The city is smitten. 

22 Now w the hand of the Lord 
was upon me in the evening, afore 
he that was escaped came, and had 
opened my mouth, until he came 
to me in the morning; and my 
mouth was opened, and I was no 
more dumb. 

23 Then the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

24 Son of man, a they that inhabit 
those wastes y of the land of Israel 
speak, saying, Abraham z was one, 
and he inherited the land: a but 
we are many; the land is given us 
for inheritance. 

25 Wherefore say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord God; b Ye eat 
with the blood, and c lift up your 
eyes toward your idols, d and shed 
blood : and shall ye possess the land ? 

26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye 
work abomination, and ye defile 
every one his neighbour's wife : 
and shall ye possess the land? 

27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God; As I live, 
surely they that are in the wastes 
shall fall by the sword, and him 
that is in the open field e will I 
give to the beasts 4 to be devoured, 
and they that be in the forts / and 
in the caves shall die of the pes- 
tilence. 

28 For o I will lay the land 5 most 
desolate, and the h pomp of her 
strength shall cease ; and » the 
mountains of Israel shall be deso- 
late, that none shall pass through. 

29 Then shall they know that I 
am the Lord, when I have laid the 
land most desolate because of all 
their abominations which they 
have committed.

CHAPTER XXXIV. 

The shepherds of Israel reproved. 

AND the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 
2 Son of man, prophesy against 
the a shepherds of Israel, prophesy, 
and say unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord God unto the shepherds; 
Woe h be to the shepherds of Israel 
that do feed themselves! should not 
the shepherds feed the flocks ? 

3 Ye c eat the fat, and ye clothe 
you with the wool, d ye lull them 
that are fed : but ye feed not the 
flock. 

4 The e diseased have ye not 
strengthened, neither have ye 
healed that which was sick, nei- 
ther have ye bound up that which 
was broken, neither have ye 
brought again that which was 
driven away, neither have ye 
sought /that which was lost; but 
with force 9 and with cruelty have 
ye ruled them. 

5 And they A were scattered, x be- 
cause there is no shepherd : * and 
they became meat to all the beasts 
of the field, when they were scat- 
tered. 

6 My sheep wandered through all 
the mountains, and upon every 
high hill : yea, my flock was scat- 
tered upon all the face of the 
earth, and none did search or seek 
after them. 

7 If Therefore, ye shepherds, hear 
the word of the Lord ; 

8 As I live, saith the Lord God, 
surely because my flock became a

of Messiah. 



prey, and my flock became meat 
to every beast of tbe field, because 
there was no shepherd, neither did 
my shepherds search for my flock, 
but the shepherds fed themselves, 
and fed not my flock ; 

9 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear 
the word of the Lord ; 

10 Thus saith the Lord God ; Be- 
hold, I am against the shepherds ; 
and i I will require my flock at 
their hand, and cause them to 
cease from feeding the flock ; nei- 
ther shall the shepherds feed them- 
selves any more ; for I will deliver 
my flock from their mouth, that 
they may not be meat for them. 

11 \ For thus saith the Lord God; 
Behold, I, even I, will both search 
my sheep, and seek them out. 

12 2 As a shepherd seeketh out his 
flock in the day that he is among 
his sheep that are scattered ; so will 
I seek out my sheep, and will de- 
liver them out of all places where 
they have been scattered in k the 
cloudy and dark day. 

13 And l I will bring them out 
from the people, and gather them 
from the countries, and will bring 
them to their own land, and feed 
them upon the mountains of Israel 
by the rivers, and in all the inhab- 
ited places of the country. 

14 I m will feed them in a good 
pasture, and upon the high moun- 
tains of Israel shall their fold be : 
there n shall they he in a good 
fold, and in a fat pasture shall they 
feed upon the mountains of Israel. 

151 will feed my flock, and I will 
cause them to lie down, saith the 
Lord God. 

16 I ° will seek that which was 
lost, and bring again that which 
was driven away, and will bind 
up that which was broken, and 
will strengthen that which was 
sick: but I will destroy the fat and 
the strong; I will feed them with 
judgment. 

17 And as for you, my flock, 
thus saith the Lord God; * Behold, 
I judge between 3 cattle and 
cattle, between the rams and the 
4 he-goats. 

18 Seemeth it a small thing unto 
you to have eaten up the good 
pasture, but * ye must tread down 
with your feet the residue of your 
pastures? and to have drunk of the 
deep waters, but ye must foul the 
residue with your feet? 

19 And as for my flock, they eat 
that which ye have trodden with

which ye have fouled with your feet. 

20 % Therefore thus saith the 
Lord God unto them; Behold, I, 
even I, will judge between the fat 
cattle and between the lean cattle. 

21 Because ye have thrust with 
side and with shoulder, and pushed 
all the diseased with your horns, 
till ye have scattered them abroad; 

22 Therefore will I save my flock, 
and they shall no more be a prey; 
and I will judge between cattle 
and cattle. 

23 And I will set up one r Shep- 
herd over them, and he shall feed 
them, s even my servant David; 
he shall feed them, and he shall 
be their shepherd. 

24 And f 1 the Lord will be their 
God, and my servant David M a 
prince among them; I the Lord 
have spoken it. 

25 And I will make with them a 
covenant of peace, and " will cause 
the evil beasts to cease out of the 
land: and they w shall dwell safely 
in the wilderness, and sleep in the 
woods. 

26 And I will make them and the 
places round about x my hill y a 
blessing; and I will * cause the 
shower to come down in his season; 
there shall be "showers of blessing. 

27 And h the tree of the field shall 
yield her fruit, and the earth shall 
yield her increase, and they shall 
be safe in their land, and shall 
know that I am the Lord, when I 
have ° broken the bands of their 
yoke, and delivered them out of 
the hand of those that d served 
themselves of them. 

28 And they shall no more e be a 
prey to the heathen, neither shall 
the beast of the land devour them; 
but they shall dwell safely, and 
none shall make them afraid. 

29 And I will raise up for them a 
plant 5 of renown, and they shall 
be no more 6 consumed with hunger 
in the land, neither bear the shame 
of the heathen any more. 

30 Thus shall they / know that I 
the Lord their God am with them, 
and that they, even the house of Is- 
rael, are my people, saith the Lord 
God. 

31 And ye my 9 flock, the flock of 
my pasture, are men, andl am your 
God, saith the Lord God. 

CHAPTER XXXV. 
Ood's judgment of mount Seir. 

MOREOVER the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying. 



Judgment of mount Seir. 



EZEKIEL, XXXVI. 



Israel comforted. 



2 Son of man, set thy face against 
mount Seir, and a prophesy against 
it. 

3 And say unto it, Thus saith the 
Lord God; Behold, mount Seir, 
1 am against thee, and I will stretch 
out mine hand against thee, and 
I will make thee l most deso- 
late. 

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and 
thou shalt be desolate; and thou 
shalt know that I am the Lord. 

5 Because thou hast had a 2 per- 
petual hatred, and hast 3 shed the 
blood of the children of Israel by 
the 4 force of the sword in the time 
of their calamity, b in the time that 
their iniquity had an end. 

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the 
Lord God, I will prepare thee unto 
blood, and blood shall pursue thee: 
sith c thou hast not hated blood, 
even blood shall pursue thee. 

7 Thus will I make mount Seir 
5 most desolate, and cutoff from it 
him that passeth out and him that 
returneth. 

8 And I will fill his mountains 
with his slain men: in thy hihs, and 
in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, 
shall they fall that are slain with 
the sword. 

9 I d will make thee perpetual 
desolations, and thy cities shall not 
return; and ye shall know that I 
am the Lord. 

1 Because thou hast said, e These 
two nations and these two coun- 
tries shall be mine, and we will 
possess it; G whereas the Lord was 
there: 

11 Therefore, as I live, saith the 
Lord God, I will even do / accord- 
ing to thine anger, and according 
to thine envy, which thou hast 
used out of thy hatred against 
them; and I will make myself 
known 9 among them, when I have 
judged thee. 

12 And h thou shalt know that I 
am the Lord, and that I have heard 
all thy blasphemies which thou 
hast spoken against the mountains 
of Israel, saying, They are laid 
desolate, they are given us 7 to 
consume. 

13 Thus with your mouth ye have 
8 boasted against me, and have 
multiplied your words against me: 
I have heard them. 

14 Thus saith the Lord God; 
When * the whole earth rejoiceth, 
1 will make thee desolate. 

15 As i thou didst rejoice at the 
inheritance of the house of Israel,

CHAPTER XXXVL 
Israel graciously comforted. 

ALSO, thou son of man, prophesy 
unto the mountains of Israel, 
and say, Ye mountains of Israel, 
hear the word of the Lord: 

2 Thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause the enemy hath said against 
you, Aha! a even the ancient high 
places are ours in possession: 

3 Therefore prophesy and say, 
Thus saith the Lord God; x Because 
they have made you desolate, and 
swallowed you up on every side, 
that ye might be a possession unto 
the residue of the heathen, and 

2 ye are taken up in the lips of 
talkers, and are an infamy of the 
people: 

4 Therefore, ye mountains of Is- 
rael, hear the word of the Lord 
God; Thus saith the Lord God to 
the mountains, and to the hills, to 
the 3 rivers, and to the valleys, to 
the desolate wastes, and to the 
cities that are forsaken, which be- 
came a prey 6 and derision to the 
residue of the heathen that are 
round about; 

5 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Surely c in the fire of my 
jealousy have I spoken against the 
residue of the heathen, and against 
all Idumea, d which have appointed 
my land into then: possession with 
the joy of all their heart, with de- 
spiteful minds, to cast it out for a 
prey. 

6 Prophesy therefore concerning 
the land of Israel, and say unto the 
mountains, and to the hills, to the 
rivers, and to the valleys, Thus 
saith the Lord God; Behold, I have 
spoken in my jealousy and in my 
fury, because ye have e borne the 
shame of the heathen: 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; I have f lifted up mine hand, 
Surely the heathen that are about 
you, they shall bear their shame. 

8 \ But ye, O mountains of Israel, 
ye shall shoot forth your branches, 
and yield your fruit to my people 
of Israel; for they are at hand to 
come. 

9 For, behold, I am for you, 9 and 
I will turn unto you, and ye shall 
be tilled and sown: 

10 And I will multiply men upon

increase and bring fruit: and I will 
settle you after your old estates, 
and will do better unto you than at 
your beginnings; i and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

12 Yea, I will cause men to walk 
upon you, even my people Israel; 
and * they shall possess thee, and 
thou shalt be their inheritance, 
and thou shalt no more hence- 
forth l bereave them of men. 

13 Thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause they say unto you, m Thou 
land devourest up men, and hast 
bereaved thy nations; 

14 Therefore thou shalt devour 
men no more, neither 4 bereave 
thy nations any more, saith the 
Lord God. 

15 Neither n will I cause men to 
hear in thee the shame of the 
heathen any more, neither shalt 
thou bear the reproach of the 
people any more, neither shalt thou 
cause thy nations to fall any more, 
saith the Lord God. 

16 t Moreover the word of the 
Loed came unto me, saying, 

17 Son of man, when the house of 
Israel dwelt in their own land, 
they ° defiled it by their own way 
and by their doings: their way was 
before me as v the uncleanness of 
a removed woman. 

18 Wherefore I poured my fury 
upon them q for the blood that 
they had shed upon the land, and 
for their 5 idols wherewith they had 
polluted it: 

19 And I r scattered them among 
the heathen, and they were dis- 
persed through the countries: * ac- 
cording to their way and according 
to their doings I judged them. 

20 And when they entered unto 
the heathen, whither they went, 
they * profaned my holy name, 
when they said to them, These are 
the people of the Lord, and are 
gone forth out of his land. 

21 H But I had pity " for mine 
holy name, which the house of 
Israel had profaned among the 
heathen, whither they went. 

22 Therefore say unto the house 
of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; 
I do note's for your sakes, house 
of Israel," but for mine holy name's 
6ake, which ye have profaned

among the heathen, whither ye 
went. 

23 And 1 will sanctify my great 
name, which was profaned among 
the heathen, which ye have pro- 
faned in the midst of them; and 
the heathen shall know that I am 
the Lord, saith the Lord God, 
when I shall be w sanctified in you 
before 6 their eyes. 

24 For x I will take you from 
among the heathen, and gather 
you out of all countries, and will 
bring you into your own land. 

25 Then y will I sprinkle clean 
water upon you, and ye shall be 
clean : z from all your filthiness, 
and from all your idols, will I 
cleanse you. 

26 A ° new heart also will I give 
you, and a new spirit will I put 
within you; and I will take away 
the stony heart out of your flesh, 
and I will give you an heart of flesh. 

27 And I will put my b Spirit 
within you, and cause you to walk 
in my statutes, and ye shall keep 
my judgments, and do them. 

28 And c ye shall dwell in the 
land that I gave to your fathers; 
and d ye shall be my people, and I 
will be your God. 

29 I will also 6 save you from all 
youruncleannesses; and' I will call 
for the corn, and will increase it, 
and lay no famine upon you. 

30 And 9 1 will multiply the fruit 
of the tree, and the increase of the 
field, that ye shall receive no more 
reproach of famine among the 
heathen. 

31 Then A shall ye remember your 
own evil ways, and your doings 
that were not good, and ^shall loathe 
yourselves in your own sight for 
your iniquities and for your abomi- 
nations. 

32 Not i for your sakes do I this, 
saith the Lord God, be it known 
unto you: be ashamed and con- 
founded for your own ways, O 
house of Israel 

33 Thus saith the Lord God; In the 
day that I shall have cleansed you 
from all your iniquities, I * will also 
cause you to dwell in the cities, and 
the wastes shall be builded. 

34 And * the desolate land shall 
be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in 
the sight of all that passed by. 

35 And they shall say, This land 
that was desolate is become like 
the garden m of Eden; and the 
waste and desolate and ruine deities 
are facome fenced, and&xe inhabited. 



Vision of dry bones. 



EZEKIEL, XXXVII. 



Kingdom of Messiah. 



36 Then the heathen that are left 
round about you shall n know that 
I the Lord build the ruined places, 
and plant that that was deso- 
late: ° I the Lord have spoken it, 
and I will do it. 

37 Thus saith the Lord God; * I 
will yet for this be enquired of by 
the house of Israel, to do it for 
them; I will increase them with 
men like a flock. 

38 As the ' holy flock, as the flock 
of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts, 
so shall the waste cities be filled 
with flocks of men; and they shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

CHAPTER XXXVIL 
The vision of dry bones. 

THE hand of the Lord was upon 
me, and carried me out a in 
the Spirit of the Lord, and set me 
down in the midst of the valley 
which was full of bones, 

2 And caused me to pass by them 
round about: and, behold, there 
were very many in the open l valley; 
and, lo, they were very dry. 

3 And he said unto me, Son of 
man, can these bones live? And I 
answered, Lord God, h thou 
knowest. 

4 Again he said unto me, c Pro- 
phesy upon these bones, and say 
unto them, O ye dry bones, hear 
the word of the Lord. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God imto 
these bones, Behold, I will d cause 
breath to enter into you, and ye 
shall live: 

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, 
and will bring up flesh" upon you, 
and cover you with skin, and put 
breath in you, and ye shall live; 
and e ye shall know that I am the 
Lord. 

7 So I prophesied as I was com- 
manded: and as I prophesied, there 
was a noise, and behold a shaking, 
and the bones came together, bone 
to his bone. 

8 And when I beheld, lo, the 
sinews and the flesh came up upon 
them, and the skin covered them 
above: but there was no breath in 
them. 

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy 
unto the 2 wind, prophesy, son of 
man, and say to the wind, Thus 
saith the Lord God; Come /from 
the four winds, breath, and 
breathe upon these slain, that they 
may live. 

10 So I prophesied, as he com- 
manded me, and 9 the breath came 
into them, and they lived, and

11 Then he said unto me, Son of 
man, these bones are the whole 
house of Israel: behold, they say, 
Our ft bones are dried, and our hope 
is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 

12 Therefore prophesy and say 
unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God; Behold, * O my people, I will 
open your graves, and cause you to 
come up out of your graves, and 
bring ■?" you into the land of Israel. 

13 And ye shall know that I am 
the Lord, when I have opened 
your graves, O my people, and 
brought you up out of your graves, 

14 And * shall put my Spirit in 
you, and ye shall live; and I shall 
place you in your own land: then 
shall ye know that I the Lord 
have spoken it, and performed it, 
saith the Lord. 

15 \ The word of the Lord came 
again unto me, saying, 

16 Moreover, thou son of man, 
take l thee one stick, and write 
upon it, For Judah, and for m the 
children of Israel his companions: 
then take another stick, and write 
upon it, For Joseph, the stick of 
Ephraim, and for all the house of 
Israel his companions: 

17 And join them one to another 
into one stick; and they shall be- 
come one in thine hand. 

18 And when the children of thy 
people shall speak unto thee, say- 
ing, n Wilt thou not show us what 
thou meanest by these? 

19 Say ° unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord God; Behold, I will take 
the stick of Joseph, which is in the 
hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of 
Israel his fellows, and will put them 
with him, even with the stick of 
Judah, and make them one stick, 
and they shall be one in mine hand. 

20 And the sticks whereon thou 
writest shall be in thine hand 
before p their eyes. 

21 % And say- unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God ; Behold, 8 I 
will take the children of Israel 
from among the heathen, whither 
they be gone, and will gather them 
on every side, and bring them into 
their own land: 

22 And r I will make them one 
nation in the land upon the 
mountains of Israel; and one king 
shall * be king to them all: and 
they shall be no more two nations, 
neither shall they be divided into 
two kingdoms any more at all:

23 Neither { shah they defile 
themselves any more with their 
idols, nor with their detestable 
things, nor with any of their 
transgressions: but M I will save 
them out of all their dwelling- 
places, wherein they have sinned, 
and will cleanse them: so shall 
they be my people, and I will be 
their God. 

24 And " David my servant shall 
le king over them; and w they all 
shall have one shepherd: they shall 
also walk in my judgments, and 
observe my statutes, and do them. 

25 And they shall dwell in the 
land that I have given unto Jacob 
my servant, wherein your fathers 
have dwelt; and they shall dwell 
therein, even they, and their chil- 
dren, and their children's chil- 
dren, x for ever: and y my servant 
David shall be their prince for ever. 

26 Moreover I will make a z cov- 
enant of peace with them; it shall 
be an everlasting covenant with 
them: and I will place them, and 
multiply them, and will set my 
sanctuary ° in the midst of them 
for evermore. 

27 My b tabernacle also shall be 
with them; yea, I will be their 
God, and they shall be my people. 

28 And the heathen shall know 
that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, 
when my sanctuary shall be in the 
midst of them for evermore.

2 Son of man, set thy face against 
a Gog, the land of Magog, x the

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord

4 And C I will turn thee back, 
and put hooks into thy jaws, and 
I will bring thee forth, and all

8 After h many days * thou shalt 
be visited: in the latter years thou 
shalt come into the land thai is 
brought back from the sword, and 
is •> gathered out of many people, 
against * the mountains of Israel, 
which have been always waste: 
but it is brought forth out of the 
nations, and they shall l dwell 
safely all of them. 

9 Thou shalt ascend and m come 
like a storm; thou shalt be n like a 
cloud to cover the land, thou, and 
all thy bands, and many people 
with thee. 

10 Thus saith the Lord God; It 
shall also come to pass, that at the 
same time shall things come into 
thy mind, and thou shalt 3 think 
an evil thought: 

11 And thou shalt say, I will go 
up to the land of un walled villages; 
I will ° go to them that are at rest, 
that dwell 4 safely, all of them 
dwelling without walls, and having 
neither bars nor gates, 

12 5 To take a spoil, and to take

company to take a prey? to carry j 
away silver and gold, to take away

spoil? 

14 % Therefore, son of man, pro- 
phesy and say unto Gog, Thus 
saith the Lord God; In r that day 
when my people of Israel dwelleth 
safely, shalt thou not know it? 

15 And s thou shalt come from 
thy place out of the north parts, 
thou, and many people with thee, 
all of them riding upon horses, a 
great company, and a mighty 
army: 

16 And thou shalt come up 
against my people of Israel, as a 
cloud to cover the land; it shall be 
in the latter days, and I will bring 
thee against my land, ' that the 
heathen may know me, when I 
shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, 
before their eyes. 



God's judgments on Gog. 



EZEKIEL, XXXIX. 



Israel's triumph. 



17 Thus saith the Lord God; Art 
thou he of whom I have spoken in 
old time 7 by my servants the pro- 
phets of Israel, which prophesied 
in those days many years that I 
would bring thee against them? 

18 And it shall come to pass at 
the same time when Gog shall 
come against the land of Israel, 
saith the Lord God, that my fury 
shall come up in my face. 

19 For M in my jealousy and v in 
the fire of my wrath have I spoken, 
Surely w in that day there shall be 
a great shaking in the land of 
Israel; 

20 So that x the fishes of the sea, 
and the fowls of the heaven, and 
the beasts of the field, and all 
creeping things that creep upon 
the earth, and all the men that 
are upon the face of the earth, 
shall shake at my presence, and 
the y mountains shall be thrown 
down, and the 8 steep places shall 
fall, and every wall shall fall to the 
ground. 

21 And I will z call for a sword 
against him throughout all ° my 
mountains, saith the Lord God : 
every h man's sword shall be 
against his brother. 

22 And I will plead against him 
with pestilence and with blood; 
and I will rain upon him, and upon 
his bands, and upon the many 
people that are with him, an over- 
flowing rain, and great hailstones, 
fire, and brimstone. 

23 Thus will I magnify myself, 
and sanctify myself; and I will be 
known in the eyes of many nations, 
and they shall know that I am the 
Lord.

the 10 noses of the passengers: and 
there shall they bury Gog, and all 
his multitude; and they shall call 
it, The valley of ll Hamon-gog. 

12 And seven months shall the 
house of Israel be burying of them, 
that i they may cleanse the land. 

13 Yea, all the people of the land 
shall bury them; and it shall be to 
them 12 a renown, the day that 
I * shall be glorified, saith the Lord 
God. 

14 And they shall sever out 13 men 
of continual employment, passing 
through the land, to bury with the 
passengers those that remain upon 
the face of the earth, to cleanse it: 
after the end of seven months shall 
they search. 

15 And the passengers that pass 
through the land, when any seeth 
a man's bone, then shall he u set 
up a sign by it, till the buriers

16 And also the name of the city 
shall be 15 Hamonah. Thus shall 
they cleanse the land. 

17 ^ And, thou son of man, thus 
saith the Lord God; Speak 16 uuto 
every feathered fowl, and to every 
beast of the field, Assemble ' your- 
selves, and come; gather your- 
selves on every side to my 1T sacri- 
fice that I do sacrifice for you, even 
a great sacrifice upon the moun- 
tains of Israel, that ye may eat 
flesh, and drink blood. 

18 Ye m shall eat the flesh of the 
mighty, and drink the blood of 

i the princes of the earth, of rams, 
i of lambs, and of 18 goats, of bul- 
i locks, all of them n fatlings of 
Bashan. 

19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be 
full, and drink blood till ye be 
drunken, of my sacrifice which I 
have sacrificed for you. 

20 Thus ° ye shall be filled at my 
table with horses and chariots, 
with p mighty men, and with all 
19 men of wai, saith the Lord 
God. 

21 And q I will set my glory 
among the heathen, and all the 
heathen shall see my judgment 
that I have executed, and r my 
hand that 1 have laid upon them. 

22 So the house of Israel shall 
know that I am the Lord their 
God from that day and forward. 

23 And the heathen shall know 
that the house of Israel went into 
captivity for their iniquity: be- 
cause they trespassed against me, 
therefore s hid I my face from 
them y and * gave them into the 
hand of their enemies; so fell they 
all by the sword. 

24 According " to their unclean- 
ness, and according to their trans- 
gressions, have I done unto them, 
and hid my face from them. 

25 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Now v will I bring again the 
captivity of Jacob, and have mercy 
upon the w whole house of Israel, 
and will be jealous for my holy 
name; 

26 After x that they have borne 
their shame, and all their tres- 
passes whereby they have tres- 
passed against me, when y they 
dwelt safely in their land, and 
none made them afraid.

again from the people, and gath- 
ered them out of their enemies'

CHAPTER XL. 
Time, manner, and end of Ezekiel's vision. 

IN the five and twentieth year of 
our captivity, in the beginning 
of the year, in the tenth day of the 
month, in the fourteenth year after 
that a the city was smitten, in the 
selfsame day 6 the hand of the 
Lord was upon me, and brought 
me thither. 

2 In c the visions of God brought 
he me into the land of Israel, d and 
set me upon a very high mountain, 

1 by which was as the frame of a 
city on the south. 

3 And he brought me thither, 
and, behold, there was a man, whose 
appearance was like c the appear- 
ance of brass, f with a fine of flax 
in his hand, 9 and a measuring 
reed; and he stood in the gate. 

4 And the man said unto me, 
Son A of man, behold with thine 
eyes, and hear with thine ears, and 
set thine heart upon all that I shall 
show thee; for to the intent that 1 
might show them unto thee art thou 
brought hither: * declare all that 
thou seest to the house of Israel. 

5 And behold i a wall on the out- 
side of the house round about, and 
in the man's hand a measuring 
reed of six cubits long by the cubit 
and an hand-breadth: so he meas- 
ured the breadth of the building, 
one reed; and the height, one reed. 

6 f Then came he unto the gate 

2 which looketh toward the east, 
and went up the stairs thereof, and 
measured the threshold of the gate, 
which was one reed broad, and the 
other threshold of the gate, which 
was one reed broad. 

7 And every k fit tie chamber was 
one reed long, and one reed broad; 
and between the little chambers 
were five cubits: and the threshold 
of the gate, by the porch of the 
gate within, was one reed. 

8 He measured also the porch of 
the gate within, one reed. 

9 Then measured he the porch of 

3F 



The chambers, windows,

and gates of the temple. 



the gate, eight cubits ; and the 
posts thereof, two cubits ; and the 
porch of the gate was inward. 

10 And J the little chambers of 
the gate eastward were three on 
this side, and three on that side; 
they three were of one measure : 
and the posts had one measure on 
this side and on that side. 

11 And he measured the breadth 
of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; 
and the 3 length of the gate, thir- 
teen cubits. 

12 The 4 space also before the little 
chambers was one cubit on this side, 
and the space was one cubit on 
that side : and the little chambers 
were six cubits on this side, and six 
cubits on that side. 

13 He measured then the gate 
from the roof of one little chamber 
to the roof of another: the breadth 
was rive and twenty cubits, door 
against door. 

14 He made also 5 posts of three- 
score cubits, even unto the post of 
the m court round about the gate. 

] 5 And from the face of the gate 
of the entrance unto the face of 
the porch of the inner gate were 
fifty cubits. 

16 And there were 6 narrow win- 
dows to the little chambers, and to 
their posts within the gate round 
about, and likewise to the 7 arches; 
and windows were round about 

8 inward : and upon each post were 
palm trees. 

17 Then brought he me into n the 
outward court, and, lo, there were 

9 chambers, and a pavement made 
for the court round about: ° thirty 
chambers were upon the pavement. 

18 And the pavement by the side 
of the gates, over against the 
length of the gates, was the lower 
pavement. 

19 Then he measured the breadth, 
from the fore-front of the lower 
gate unto the fore-front of the 
inner court 10 without, an hundred 
cubits eastward and northward. 

20 ^[ And the gate of the outward 
court u that looked toward the 
north, he measured the length 
thereof, and the breadth thereof. 

21 And the little chambers there- 
of were three on this side and three 
on that side; and the posts thereof 
and the 12 arches thereof were af- 
ter the measure of the first gate: 
the length thereof was fifty cubits, 
and the breadth five and twenty 
cubits.

looketh toward the east; and they 
went up unto it by seven steps; 
and the arches thereof were before 
them. 

23 And the gate of the inner court 
was over against the gate toward 
the north, and toward the east; 
and he measured from gate to gate 
an hundred cubits. 

24 % After that he brought me 
toward the south, and, behold, a 
gate toward the south: and he 
measured the posts thereof, and 
the arches thereof, according to 
these measures. 

25 And there were p windows in it 
and in the arches thereof round 
about, like those windows: the 
length was fifty cubits, and the 
breadth five and twenty cubits. 

26. And there were seven steps to go 
up to it, and the arches thereof 
were before them; and it had palm 
trees, one on this side, and another 
on that side, upon the posts thereof. 

27 And there was a gate in the 
inner court toward the south: and 
he measured from gate to gate to- 
ward the south an hundred cubits. 

28 And he brought me to the in- 
ner court by the south gate : and 
he measured the south gate accord- 
ing to these measures ; 

29 And q the little chambers there- 
of, and the posts thereof, and the 
arches thereof, according to these 
measures : and there were windows 
in it and in the arches thereof 
round about: it was fifty cubits long, 
and five and twenty cubits broad. 

30 And the arches round about 
were five and twenty cubits long, 
and five cubits u broad. 

31 And the arches thereof were 
toward the outer court; and r palm 
trees were upon the posts thereof : 
and the going up to it had eight 
steps. 

32 1f And he brought me into the 
inner court toward the east : and 
he measured the gate according to 
these measures. 

33 And the little chambers there- 
of, and the posts thereof, and the 
arches thereof, were according to 
these measures: and there were win- 
dows therein, and in the arches 
thereof round about : it was fifty 
cubits long, and five and twenty

on this side, and on that side: and 
the going up to it had eight steps. 

35 f And he brought me to the 
north gate, and measured it accord- 
ing to these measures ; 

36 The little chambers thereof, 
the posts thereof, and the arches 

; thereof, and the windows to it 
round about : the length was fifty 
cubits, and the breadth five and 
twenty cubits. 

37 And the posts thereof were to- 
ward the outer court; and palm 
trees were upon the posts thereof 
on this side, and on that side: and 
the going up to it had eight steps. 

38 And the chambers and the 
entries thereof were by the posts of 
the gates, where they s washed the 
burnt offering. 

39 ^ And in the porch of the gate 
were two tables on this side, and 
two tables on that side, to slay 
thereon the burnt offering, and 
the * sin offering, and u the tres- 
pass offering. 

40 And at the side without, u as 
one goeth up to the entry of the 
north gate, were two tables; and on 
the other side, which was at the 
porch of the gate, were two tables. 

41 Four tables were on this side, 
and four tables on that side, by 
the side of the gate ; eight tables, 
whereupon they slew their sacrifices. 

42 And the lorn' tables were of 
hewn stone for the burnt offering, 
of a cubit and an half long, and a 
cubit and an half broad, and one 

! cubit high: whereupon also they 
laid the instruments wherewitn 
: they slew the burnt offering and 
, the sacrifice. 

43 And within were 15 hooks, an 
hand broad, fastened round about: ' 
and upon the tables was the flesh 
of the offering. 

1 44 ^ And without the inner gate 
were the chambers of v the singers 
in the inner court, which was at 
the side of the north gate; and 
their prospect was toward the 
south; one at the side of the east 
gate having the prospect toward 
the north. 

45 And he said unto me, This

47 So he measured the court, an

dred cubits broad, four-square; 
and the altar that was before the 
house. 

48 ^j And he brought me to the 
porch of the house, and measured 
each post of the porch, five cubits 
on this side, and five cubits on 
that side: and the breadth of the 
gate was three cubits on this side, 
and three cubits on that side. 

49 The * length of the porch was 
twenty cubits, and the breadth 
eleven cubits; and he brought me by 
the steps whereby they went up to 
it: and there were b pillars by the 
posts, one on this side, and another

AFTEKWAED he brought me to 
the ° temple, and measured 
the posts, six cubits broad on the 
one side, and six cubits broad on 
the other side, which was the breadth 
of the tabernacle. 

2 And the breadth of the x door 
was ten cubits; and the sides of the 
door were five cubits on the one 
side, and five cubits on the other 
side: and he measured the length 
thereof, forty cubits, and the 
breadth, twenty cubits. 

3 Then went he inward, and 
measured the post of the door two 
cubits, and the door six cubits, and 
the breadth of the door 6even 
cubits. 

4 So he 6 measured the length 
thereof, twenty cubits, and the 
breadth, twenty cubits, before the 
temple: and he said unto me, This 
is the most holy place, 

5 After he measured the wall of 
the house six cubits ; and the 
breadth of every side chamber four 
cubits, round about the house on 
every side. 

6 And c the side chambers were 
three, 2 one over another, and 
3 thirty in order; and they entered 
into the wall which was of the 
house for the side chambers round 
about, that they might * have 
hold, but they had not hold in the 
wall of the house. 

7 And 5 there was an enlarging and 
a winding about still upward to 
the side chambers; for the winding 
about of the house went still up- 
ward round about the house: there- 
fore the breadth of the house was

still upward, and so increased from 
the lowest chamber to the highest 
by the midst. 

8 I saw also the height of the 
house round about: the d founda- 
tions of the side chambers were a 
full reed of six great cubits. 

9 The thickness of the wall, which 
was for the side chamber without, 
was five cubits: and that which 
was left was the place of the side 
chambers that were within. 

10 And between the chambers 
was the wideness of twenty cubits 
round about the house on every 
side. 

11 And the doors of the side 
chambers were toward the place that 
was left, one door toward the 
north, and another door toward 
the south: and the breadth of the 
place that was left was five cubits 
round about. 

12 Now the building that was 
before the separate place at the 
end toward the west was seventy 
cubits broad; and the wall of the 
buildingwas fivecubits thick round 
about, and the length thereof 
ninety cubits. 

13 So he measured the house, an 
hundred cubits long; and the sep- 
arate place, and the building, with 
the walls thereof, an bundled 
cubits long; 

14 Also the breadth of the face of 
the house, and of the separate place 
toward the east, an hundred cubits. 

15 And he measured the length 
of the building over against the 
separate place which was behind 
it, and the 6 galleries thereof on 
the one side, and on the other 
side, an hundred cubits, with the 
inner temple, and the porches of 
the court; 

16 The door posts, and e the nar- 
row windows, and the galleries 
round about on their three stories,

the windows were covered;

21 The 10 posts of the temple were

shorter: for the galleries x were

Ordinances for the priests. 



10 % Thou son of man, r show the 
house to the house of Israel, that 
they may he ashamed of their 
iniquities; and let them measure 
the 3 pattern. 

11 And if they he ashamed of all 
that they have done, s show them 
the form of the house, and the 
fashion thereof, and the goings -out 
thereof, and the comings-in there- 
of, and all the forms thereof, and 
all the ordinances thereof, and all 
the forms thereof, and all the laws 
thereof: and.write it in their sight, 
that they may keep the whole 
form thereof, and all the ordinan- 
ces thereof, and do them. 

12 This is the law of the house; 
Upon * the top of the mountain the 
whole limit thereof round about 
shall be most holy. Behold, this is 
the law of the house. 

13 % And these are the measures 
of the altar after the cubits: M The 
cubit is a cubit and an hand- 
breadth; even the 4 bottom shall 
be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, 
and the border thereof by the 
6 edge thereof round about shall be 
a span: and this shall be the higher 
place of the altar. 

14 And from the bottom upon the 
ground even to the lower settle 
shall be two cubits, and the breadth 
one cubit; and from the lesser 
settle even to the greater settle shall 
be four cubits, and the breadth 
one cubit. 

15 So 6 the altar shall be four 
cubits; and from 7 the altar and 
upward shall be four horns. 

16 And the altar shall be twelve 
cubits long, twelve broad, square in 
the four squares thereof. 

17 And the settle shall be fourteen 
cubits long and fourteen broad in 
the four squares thereof; and the 
border about it shall be half a cubit; 
and the bottom thereof shall be a 
cubit about; and " his stairs shall 
look toward the east. 

18 1f And he said unto me, Son of 
man, thus saith the Lord God; 
These are the ordinances of the 
altar in the day when they shall 
make it, to offer burnt offerings 
thereon, and to "sprinkle blood 
thereon. 

19 And thou shalt give to x the 
priests the Levites that be of the 
seed of Zadok, which approach 
unto me, to minister unto me, 
saith the Lord God, y a young 
bullock for a sin offering.

four horns of it, and on the four 
corners of the settle, and upon the 
border round about: thus shalt 
thou cleanse and purge it. 

21 Thou shalt take the bullock 
also of the sin offering, and he 
shall z burn it in the appointed 
place of the house, a without the 
sanctuary. 

22 And on the second day thou 
shalt offer a kid of the goats with- 
out blemish for a sin offering; and 
they shall cleanse the altar, as they 
did cleanse it with the bullock. 

23 When thou hast made an end 
of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a 
young bullock without blemish, 
and a ram out of the flock without 
blemish. 

24 And thou shalt offer them 
before the Lord, b and the priests 
shall cast salt upon them, and they 
shall offer them up for a burnt 
offering unto the Lord. 

25 Seven days shalt thou prepare 
every day a goat for a sin offering: 
they shall also prepare a young 
bullock, and a ram out of the 
flock, without blemish. 

26 Seven days shall they purge 
the altar and purify it; and they 
shall 8 consecrate themselves. 

27 And d when these days are 
expired, it shall be, that upon the 
eighth day, and so forward, the 
priests shall make your burnt 
offerings upon the altar, and your 
9 peace offerings; and I will e accept 
you, saith the Lord God. 

CHAPTER XLIV. 
Ordinances for the priests. ' 

THEN he brought me back the 
way of the gate of the outward 
sanctuary which a looketh toward 
the east, and it was shut. 

2 Then said the Lord unto me, 
This gate shall be shut, it shall not 
be opened, and no man shall enter 
in by it; because the Lord, the 
God of Israel hath entered in by 
it, therefore it shall be shut. 

3 It is for b the prince; the prince, 
he shall sit in it to c eat bread 
before the Lord; he d shall enter 
by the way of the porch of that 
gate, and shall go out by the way 
of the same. 

4 1f Then brought he me the way 
of the north gate before the house: 
and I looked, and, e behold, the 
glory of the Lord rilled the house 
of the Lord; / and I fell upon my 
face.

Ordinances for the altar. 



EZEKIEL, XLIV. 



Ordinances for the priests. 



Son 9 of man, x mark well, and 
behold with thine eyes, and hear 
with thine ears all that I say unto 
thee concerning all the ordinances 
of the house of the Lord, and all 
the laws thereof; and mark well 
the entering in of the house, with 
every going forth of the sanctuary. 

6 And thou shalt say to A the 
rebellious, even to the house of 
Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; 
ye house of Israel, * let it suffice 
you of all your abominations, 

7 In i that ye have brought into 
my sanctuary 2 strangers, k uncir- 
cumcised in heart, and uncir- 
cumcised in flesh, to be in my 
sanctuary, to pollute it, even my 
house, when ye offer l my bread, 
the m fat and the blood, and they 
have broken my covenant because 
of all your abominations. 

8 And ye have not n kept the 
charge of mine holy things; but ye 
have set keepers of my 3 charge in 
my sanctuary for yourselves. 

9 % Thus saith the Lord God; ° No 
stranger, uncircumcised in heart, 
nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall 
enter into my sanctuary, of any 
stranger that is among the children 
of Israel 

10 And p the Levites that are gone 
away far from me, when Israel went 
astray, which went astray away 
from me after their idols; they 
shall even bear their iniquity. 

11 Yet they shall be ministers in 
my sanctuary, q having charge at 
the gates of the house, and minis- 
tering to the house: they shall slay 
the burnt offering and the sacrifice 
for the people, and r they shall 
stand before them to minister unto 
them. 

12 Because they ministered unto 
them before their idols, and 4 caused 
the house of Israel to fall into in- 
iquity; therefore have I s lifted up 
mine hand against them, saith the 
Lord God, and they shall bear their 
iniquity. 

13 And ' they shall not come near 
unto me, to do the office of a priest 
unto me, nor to come near to any 
of 5 my holy things, in the most 
holy place; but they shall * bear 
their shame, and their abomina- 
tions which they have committed: 

14 But I will make them * keepers 
of the charge of the house, for all 
the service thereof, and for all that 
shall be done therein.

minister unto me, and they y shall 
stand before me to offer unto me 
the fat and the blood, saith the 
Lord God: 

16 They shall enter into my sanc- 
tuary, and they shall come near to 
my z table, to minister unto me, 
and they shall a keep my charge. 

17 Tl And it shall come to pass, 
that when they enter in at the gates 
of the inner court, 6 they shall be 
clothed with linen garments; and 
no wool shall come upon them 
whiles they minister in the gates 
of the inner court, and within. 

18 They shall have linen bonnets 
upon their heads, and shall have 
linen breeches upon their loins; 
they shall not gird themselves 6 with 
any thing that causeth sweat. 

19 And when they go forth into 
the outer court, even into the outer 
court to the people, c they shall put 
off their garments wherein they 
ministered, and lay them in the 
holy chambers, and they shall put 
on other garments; and they shall 
not d sanctify the people with then- 
garments. 

20 Neither e shall they shave their 
heads, nor suffer their locks to grow 
long; they shall only poll their 
heads. 

21 Neither t shall any priest drink 
wine when they enter into the 
inner court. 

22 Neither shall they take for 
their wives a widow, nor her that 
is 7 put away; but they shall take 
maidens of the seed of the house 
of Israel, or a widow 8 that had a 
priest before. 

23 And 9 they shall teach my 
people the difference between the 
holy and profane, and cause them 
to discern between the unclean 
and the clean. 

24 And A in controversy they 
shall stand in judgment; and they 
shall judge it according to my 
judgments: and they shall keep 
my * laws and my statutes in all 
mine assemblies; S and they shall 
hallow my sabbaths. 

25 And they shall come at no 
dead person to defile themselves: 
but for father, or for mother, or for 
son, or for daughter, for brother, or 
for sister that hath had no hus- 
band, they may defile themselves. 

26 And * after he is cleansed, they 
shall reckon unto him seven days.

27 And in the day that he goeth 
into the sanctuary, unto the inner 
court, to minister in the sanctuary, 
he l shall offer his sin offering, saith 
the Lord God.

30 And the 10 first of all the first- 
fruits of all things, and every obla- 
tion of all, of every sort of your 
oblations, shall be the priest's: ye 
shall ° also give unto the priest the 
first of your dough, p that he may

thereof round about. 

2 Of this there shall be for the 
sanctuary five b hundred in length, 
with five hundred in breadth, square 
round about; and fifty cubits round 
about for the 3 suburbs thereof. 

3 And of this measure shalt thou

for the house of Israel. 

18 Thus saith the Lord God ; In 
the first month, in the first day of 
the month, thou shalt take a young 
bullock without blemish, " and 
cleanse the sanctuary: 

19 And ° the priest shall take of 
the blood of the sin offering, and 
put it upon the posts of the house, 
and upon the four corners of the 
settle of the altar, and upon the 
posts of the gate of the inner court.

that is simple: so shall ye reconcile

goats daily for a sin offering. 

24 And " he shall prepare a meat 
offering of an ephah for a bullock, 
and an ephah for a ram, and an 
hin of oil for an ephah. 

25 In the seventh month, in the 
fifteenth day of the month, shall 
he do the like in the w feast of the 
seven days, according to the sin 
offering, according to the burnt 
offering, and according to the meat 
offering, and according to the oil.

3 Likewise d the people of the 
land shall worship at the door of 
this gate before the Lord, in the 
sabbaths and in the new moons. 

4 And e the burnt offering that 
the prince shall offer unto the 
Lord in the sabbath day shall be 
six lambs without blemish, and 
a ram without blemish. 

5 And / the meat offering shall be 
an ephah for a ram, and the meat 
offering for the lambs 1 as he shall 
be able to give, and an hin of oil 
to an ephah. 

6 And in the day of the new moon 
it shall be a young bullock without 
blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; 
they shall be without blemish. 

7 And he shall prepare a meat 
offering, an ephah for a bullock, 
and an ephah for a ram, and for 
the lambs according as his hands 
shall attain unto, and an hin of 
oil to an ephah. 

8 And when the prince shall 
enter, he shall go in by the way of 
the porch of that gate, and he shall 
go forth by the way thereof. 

9 *]' But when the people of the 
land 9 shall come belore the Lord 
in the solemn feasts, he that 
entereth in by the way of the north 
gate to worship shall go out by the 
way of the south gate; and he that 
entereth by the way of the south 
gate shall go forth by the way of 
the north gate: he shall not return 
by the way of the gate whereby he 
came in, but shall go forth over 
against it. 

10 And the prince in the midst of 
them, when they go in, shall go in; 
and when they go forth, shall go 
forth. 

11 And in the feasts and in the 
solemnities, the meat offering shall 
be an ephah to a bullock, and an 
ephah to a ram, and to the lambs 
as he is able to give, and an hin of 
oil to an ephah. 

12 Now when the prince shall 
prepare a voluntary h burnt offer- 
ing, or peace offerings voluntarily 
unto the Lord, » one shall 'then 
open him the gate that looketh 
toward the east, and he shall pre- 
pare his burnt offering and his 
peace offerings, as he did on the 
sabbath day: then he shall go forth; 
and after his going forth one shall 
shut the gate.

blemish; thou shalt prepare it 
3 every morning. 

14 And thou shalt prepare a meat 
offering for it every morning, the 
sixth part of an ephah, and the 
third part of an hin of oil, to tem- 
per with the fine flour; a meat 
offering continually by a perpetual 
ordinance unto the Lord. 

15 Thus shall they prepare the 
lamb, and the meat offering, and 
the oil, every morning, for a con- 
tinual burnt offering. 

16 % Thus saith the Lord God; If 
the prince give a gift unto any of 
his sons, the inheritance thereof 
shall be his sons'; it shall be their 
possession by inheritance. 

17 But if he give a gift of his in- 
heritance to one of his servants, 
then it shall be his to the k year 
of liberty; after it shall return to 
the prince: but his inheritance 
shall be his sons' for them. 

18 Moreover l the prince shall not 
take of the people's inheritance by 
oppression, to thrust them out of 
their possession; but he shall give 
his sons inheritance out of his own 
possession; that my people be not 
scattered every man from his pos- 
session. 

19 ^ After he brought me through 
the entry, which was at the side of 
the gate, into the holy chambers 
of the priests, which looked toward 
the north: and, behold, there was 
a place on the two sides westward. 

20 Then said he unto me, This is 
the place where the priest m shall 
boil the trespass offering and the 
sin offering, where they shall n bake 
the meat offering; that they bear 
them not out into the outer court, 
to ° sanctify the people. 

21 Then he brought me forth into 
the outer court, and caused me to 
pass by the four corners of the 
court; and, behold, 4 in every cor- 
ner of the court there was a court. 

22 In the four corners of the court 
there were courts 5 joined of forty 
cubits long, and thirty broad: these 
four 6 corners were of one measure. 

23 And there was a row of building 
round about in them, round about 
them four, and it was made with 
boiling places under the rows round 
about. 

24 Then said he unto me, These 
are the places of them that boil, 
where the ministers of the house 
shall boil p the sacrifice of the 
people.

The vision of the holy waters, etc. 

AFTERWARD he brought me 
again unto the door of the 
house; and, behold, "waters issued 
out from under the threshold of 
the house eastward: for the fore- 
front of the house stood toward the 
east, and the waters came down 
from under, from the right side of 
the house, at the south side of the 
altar. 

2 Then brought he me out of the 
way of the gate northward, and 
led me about the way without 
unto the outer gate by the way 
that looketh eastward; and, be- 
hold, there ran out waters on the 
right side. 

3 And when b the man that had 
the line in his hand went forth 
eastward, he measured a thousand 
cubits, and he brought me through 
the waters; the l waters were to 
the ancles. 

4 Again he measured a thousand, 
and brought me through the wa- 
ters; the waters were to the knees. 
Again he measured a thousand, 
and brought me through; the 
waters were to the loins. 

5 Afterward he measured a thou- 
sand; and it was a river that I 
could not pass over: for the waters 
were risen, 2 waters to swim in, a 
river that could not be passed over. 

6 If And he said unto me, Son of 
man, hast thou seen this? Then 
he brought me, and caused me to 
return to the brink of the river. 

7 Now when I had returned, 
behold, at the 3 bank of the river 
were very many trees c on the one 
side and on the other. 

8 Then said he unto me, These 
waters issue out toward the east 
country, and go down into the 
4 desert, and go into the sea; which 
being brought forth into the sea, 
the waters d shall be healed. 

9 And it shall come to pass, that 
every thing that liveth, which 
moveth, whithersoever the 5 rivers 
shall come, e shall live: and there 
shall be a very great multitude of 
fish, because these waters shall 
come thither: for they shall be 
healed; and every thing shall live 
whither the river cometh. 

10 And it shall come to pass, that 
the /fishers shall stand upon it 
from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; 
they shall be a place to spread 
forth nets; their fish shall be 
according to their kinds, as the 



Borders of the land.

fish 9 oi the great sea, exceeding 
many. 

11 But the miry places thereof 
and the marishes thereof 6 shall 
not he healed; they shall be given 
to salt. 

12 And by the river npon the 
bank thereof, on this side and on 
that side, 7 shall grow all trees for 
meat, A whose leaf shall not fade, 
neither shall the fruit thereof be 
consumed: it shall bring forth 
8 new fruit according to his months, 
because their waters they issued 
out of the sanctuary; and the fruit 
thereof shall be for meat, and the 
leaf thereof 9 for medicine. 

13 Tf Thus saith the Lord God; 
This shall be the border whereby ye 
shall inherit the land, according to 
the twelve tribes of Israel: * Joseph 
shall have two portions. 

14 And ye shall inherit it, one as 
well as another: concerning the 
which I 10 lifted up mine hand to 
give it unto your fathers: and this 
land shall S fall unto you for in- 
heritance. 

15 And this shall be the border of 
the land toward the north side, 
from the great sea, the *way of 
Hethlon, as men go to l Zedad; 

16 ro Hamath, n Berothah, Sib- 
raim, which is between the border 
of Damascus and the border of 
Hamath; u Hazar-hatticon, which 
is by the coast of Hauran. 

17 And the border from the sea 
shall be ° Hazar-enan, the border 
of Damascus, and the north north- 
ward, and the border of Hamath. 
And this is the north side. 

18 And the east side ye shall 
measure 12 from Hauran, and from 
Damascus, and from Gilead, and 
from the land of Israel by Jordan, 
from the border unto the east sea. 
And this is the east side. 

19 And the s"outh side southward, 
from Tamar even to the waters of 
13 strife in Kadesh, the u river to 
the great sea. And this is the 
south side 15 southward. 

20 The west side also shall be the 
great sea from the border, till a 
man come over against Hamath. 
This is the west side. 

21 So shall ye divide this land 
unto you according to the tribes 
of Israel. 

22 And it shall come to pass, that 
ye shall divide it by lot for an in- 
heritance unto you, and p to the 
strangers that sojourn among you,

4 a thing most holy by the border

13 And over against the border of 
the priests the Levites shall have five

the length shall be five and twenty

THE 



BOOK OF DANIEL. 



CHAPTER I. 

Daniel and his companions at the court 
of Babylon. 

IN the third year of the reign of 
Jehoiakim king of Judah "came 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. 

2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim 
king of Judah into his hand, with 
part b of the vessels of the house of 
God: which he carried c into the 
land of Shinar to the house of his 
god; and he brought the vessels 
into the treasure-house of his 
god. 

3 *i\ And the king spake unto Ash- 
penaz the master of his eunuchs, 
that he should briug x certain of the 
children of Israel, and of the king's 
seed, and of the princes; 

4 Children d in whom was no 
blemisb, but well-favoured, and 
skilful in all wisdom, and cunning 
in knowledge, and understanding 
science, and such as had ability in 
them to stand in the king's palace, 
and whom ° they might teach the 
learning and the tongue of the 
Chaldeans. 

5 And the king appointed them 
a daily provision of the king's meat, 
and of 2 the wine which he drank: 
so nourishing them three years, 
that at the end thereof they might 
stand before the king. 

6 Now among these were, of the 
children of Judah, Daniel, Hanan- 
iah, Mishael, and Azariah; 

7 Unto / whom the prince of the 
eunuchs gave names: 9 for he gave 
unto Daniel the name of Belteshaz- 
zar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; 
and to Mishael, of Meshach; and 
to Azariah, of Abed-nego. 

8 f But Daniel purposed in his 
heart that he would not defile him- 
self h with the portion of the king's 
meat, nor with the wine which he 
drank: therefore he requested of 
the prince of the eunuchs that he 
might not defile himself. 

9 Now » God had brought Daniel 
into favour and tender love with 
the prince of the eunuchs. 

10 And the prince of the eunuchs 
said unto Daniel, I fear my lord 
the king, who hath appointed your 
meat and your drink: for why 
should he see your faces 3 worse 
liking than the children which are

of your 4 sort? then shall ye make

11 Then said Daniel to 5 Melzar, 
whom the prince of the eunuchs 
had set over Daniel, Hananiah, 
Mishael, and Azariah, 

12 Prove thy servants, I beseech 
thee, ten days; and let them give 
us 6 pulse 7 to eat, and water to 
drink. 

13 Then let our countenances be 
looked upon before thee, and the 
countenance of the children that 
eat of the portion of the king's 
meat; and as thou seest, deal with 
thy servants. 

14 So he consented to them in 
this matter, and proved them ten 
days. 

15 And at the end of ten days 
their countenances appeared fairer 
and fatter in flesh than all the 
children which did eat the portion 
of the king's meat. 

16 Thus Melzar took away the 
portion of their meat, and the wine 
that they should drink, and gave 
them pulse. 

17 1[ As for these four children, 
God t gave them h knowledge and 
skill in all learning and wisdom: 
and 8 Daniel had understanding in 
all visions and dreams. 

18 Now at the end of the days 
that the king had said he should 
bring them in, then the prince ot 
the eunuchs brought them in be- 
fore Nebuchadnezzar. 

19 And the king communed with 
them; and among them all was 
found none like Daniel, Hananiah, 
Mishael, and Azariah: therefore 
stood they before the king. 

20 And in all matters-of 9 wisdom 
and understanding, that the king- 
enquired of them, he found them 
ten times better thai! $11 the magi- 
cians and astrologers that were in 
all his realm. 

21 And l Daniel continued even 
unto the first year of king Cyrus. 

CHAPTER 1L 

Nebuchadnezzar's dream: Daniel's 
advancement 

AND in the second year of the 
reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Ne- 
buchadnezzar dreamed dreams, 
wherewith a his spirit was troubled, 
and 6 his sleep brake from him. 



Nebuchadnezzar's dream 



DANIEL, II. 



of the great image. 



2 Then c the king commanded to 
call the magicians, and the astro- 
logers, and the sorcerers, and the 
Chaldeans, for to show the king 
his dreams. So they came and 
stood before the king. 

3 And the king said unto them, I 
have dreamed a dream, and my 
spirit was troubled to know the 
dream. 

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to 
the king in Syriac, king, live for 
ever: tell thy servants the dream, 
and we will show the interpreta- 
tion. 

5 The king answered and said to 
the Chaldeans, The thing is gone 
from me: if ye will not make known 
unto me the dream, with the inter- 
pretation thereof, ye shall be J cut 
in pieces, and your houses shall be 
made a dunghill: 

6 But if ye show the dream, and 
the interpretation thereof, ye shall 
receive of me gifts and 2 rewards 
and great honour: therefore show 
me the dream, and the interpre- 
tation thereof. 

I They answered again and said, 
Let the king tell his servants the 
dream, and we will show the inter- 
pretation of it. 

8 The king answered and said, I 
know of certainty that ye would 
gain 3 the time, because ye see the 
thing is gone from me. 

9 But if ye will not make known 
unto me the dream, d there is but one 
decree for you; for ye have prepared 
lying and corrupt words to speak 
before me, till the time be changed: 
therefore tell me the dream, and I 
shall know that ye can show me 
the interpretation thereof. 

10 f The Chaldeans answered 
before the king, and said, There is 
not a man upon the earth that can 
show the king's matter: therefore 
there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that 
asked such things at any magician, 
or astrologer, or Chaldean. 

II And it is .?, rare thing that the 
king required; and there is none 
other that can show it before the 
king, e except the gods, whose 
dwelling is not with flesh. 

12 For this cause the / king was 
angry and very furious, and com- 
manded to destroy all the wise 
men of Babylon. 

13 And the decree went forth that 
the wise men should be slain; and 
they sought Daniel and his fellows 
to be slain.

was gone forth to slay the wise men. 
of Babylon: 

15 He answered and said to 
Arioch the king's captain, Why is 
the decree so hasty from the king? 
Then Arioch made the thing 
known to Daniel. 

16 Then Daniel went in, and 
desired of the king that he would 
give him time, and that he would 
show the king the interpretation. 

17 Then Daniel went to his house, 
and made the thing known to 
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 
his companions: 

18 That they would desire 
mercies 6 of the God of heaven 
concerning this secret; 7 that Daniel 
and his fellows should not perish 
with the rest of the wise men of 
Babylon. 

19 ^ Then was the secret revealed 
unto Daniel 9 in a night vision. 
Then Daniel blessed the God of 
heaven. 

20 Daniel answered and said, 
Blessed h be the name of God for 
ever and ever: * for wisdom and 
might are his: 

21 And he changeth i the times 
and the seasons: he * removeth 
kings, and settethup kings: l he 
giveth wisdom unto the wise, and 
knowledge to them that know 
understanding: 

22 He m revealeth the deep and 
secret things: n he knoweth what 
is in the darkness, and ° the light 
dwelleth with him. 

23 I thank thee, and praise thee, 
O thou God of my fathers, who hast 
given me wisdom and might, and 
hast p made known unto me now 
what we desired of thee: for thou 
hast now made known unto us the 
king's matter. 

24 *§ Therefore Daniel went in 
unto Arioch, whom the king had 
ordained to destroy the wise men 
of Babylon: he went and said thus 
unto him; Destroy not the wise men 
of Babylon: bring me in before the 
king, and I will show unto the 
king the interpretation. 

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel 
before the king in haste, and said 
thus unto him, 8 I have found a 
man of the 9 captives of Judah that 
will make known unto the king 
the interpretation. 

26 The king answered and said to 
Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz- 
zar, Art thou able to make known

DANIEL, II. 



Nebuchadnezzar 's dream. 



unto me the dream which I have 
seen, and the interpretation 
thereof? 

27 Daniel answered in the pres- 
ence of the king, and said, The 
secret which the king hath de- 
manded cannot the wise men, the 
astrologers, the magicians, the 
soothsayers, show unto the 
king; 

28 But 2 there is a God in heaven 
that revealeth secrets, 10 and 
maketh known to the king Nebu- 
chadnezzar what shall be in the 
latter days. Thy dream, and the 
visions of thy head upon thy bed, 
are these; 

29 As for thee, king, thy 
thoughts u came into thy mind 
upon thy bed what should come 
to pass hereafter; and he that re- 
vealeth secrets maketh known to 
thee what shall come to pass. 

30 But r as forme, this secret is 
not revealed to me for any wisdom 
that I have more than any living, 
12 but for their sakes that shall 
make known the interpretation to 
the king, and that thou -mightest 
know the thoughts of thy heart. 

31 \ Thou, king, 13 sawest, and, 
behold, a great image. This great 
image, whose brightness was ex- 
cellent, stood before thee, and the 
form thereof was terrible. 

32 This image's head was of fine 
gold, his breast and his arms of 
silver, his belly and his u thighs of 
brass, 

33 His legs of iron, his feet part of 
iron and part of clay. 

34 Thou sawest till that a stone 
was cut out 15 without hands, 
which smote the image upon his 
feet that were of iron and clay, and 
brake them to pieces. 

35 Then was the iron, the clay, 
the brass, the silver, and the gold, 
broken to pieces together, and be- 
came like the chaff of the summer 
threshing-floors; and the wind 
carried them away, that no place 
was found for them: and the stone 
that smote the image s became a 
great mountain, * and filled the 
whole earth. 

36 51 This is the dream; and we 
will tell the interpretation thereof 
before the king. 

37 Thou, u O king, art a king of 
kings: for " the God of heaven hath 
given thee a kingdom, power, and 
strength, and glory.

field and the fowls of the heaven 
hath he given into thine hand, 
and hath made thee ruler over 
them all. Thou art this head of 
gold. 

39 And after thee shall arise 
another * kingdom inferior to 
thee, and another third kingdom 
of brass, which shall bear rule over 
all the earth. 

40 And y the fourth kingdom 
shall be strong as iron: forasmuch 
as iron breaketh in pieces' and 
subdueth all things: and as iron 
that breaketh all these, shall it 
break in pieces and bruise. 

41 And whereas thou sawest the 
feet and toes, part of potter's clay, 
and part of iron, the kingdom 
shall be divided; but there shall 
be in it of the strength of the iron, 
forasmuch as thou sawest the iron 
mixed with miry clay. 

42 And as the toes of the feet 
were part of iron, and part of clay, 
so the kingdom shall be partly 
strong, and partly 16 broken. 

43 And whereas thou sawest iron 
mixed with miry clay, they shall 
mingle themselves with the seed 
of men: but they shall not cleave 
one 17 to another, even as iron is 
not mixed with clay. 

44 And in 18 the days of these 
kings shall the God of heaven set 
up a kingdom, which z shall never 
be destroyed: and the 19 kingdom 
shall not be left to other people, 
but a it shall break in pieces and 
consume all these kingdoms, and 
it shall stand for ever. 

45 Forasmuch 6 as thou sawest 
that the stone was cut out of the 
mountain 20 without hands, and 
that it brake in pieces the iron, 
the brass, the clay, the silver, and 
the gold; the great God hath 
made known to the king what 
shall come to pass 21 hereafter: and 
the dream is certain, and the in- 
terpretation thereof sure. 

46 1[ Then c the king Nebuchad- 
nezzar fell upon his face, and wor- 
shipped Daniel, and commanded 
that they should offer an oblation 
and d sweet odours unto him. 

47 The king answered unto 
Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is t 
that your God is a God of gods, 
and a Lord of kings, and a revealer 
of secrets, seeing thou couldest 
reveal this secret. 

48 Then the king made Daniel a 
great man, and gave him many 
great gifts, and made him ruler

over the whole province of Baby- 
lon, and 6 chief of the governors 
over all the wise men of Babylon. 
49 Then Daniel requested of the 
king, and t he set Shadrach, Me- 
shach, and Abed-nego, over the 
affairs of the province of Babylon: 
but Daniel 9 sat in the gate of the 
king. 

CHAPTER III. 

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego are 

cast into a fiery furnace, 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king 
made a an image of gold, 
whose height was threescore cubits, 
and the breadth thereof six cubits: 
he set it up in the plain of Dura, 
in the province of Babylon. 

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king 
sent to gather together the princes, 
the governors, and the captains, 
the judges, the treasurers, the 
counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the 
rulers of the provinces, to come to 
the dedication of the image which 
Nebuchadnezzar the king had 
set up. 

3 Then the 5 princes, the gover- 
nors, and captains, the judges, the 
treasurers, the counsellors, the 
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the 
provinces, were gathered together 
unto the dedication of the image 
that Nebuchadnezzar the king had 
set up; and they stood before the 
image that Nebuchadnezzar had 
set up. 

4 Then an herald cried 1 aloud, 
To you 2 it is commanded, c peo- 
ple, nations, and languages, 

5 That at what time ye hear the 
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, 
sackbut, psaltery, 3 dulcimer, and 
all kinds of music, ye fall down 
and worship the golden image that 
Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set 
up; 

6 And whoso falleth not down 
and worshippeth shall the same 
hour be cast into the midst of d a 
burning fiery furnace. 

7 Therefore at that time, when 
all the people heard the sound of 
the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, 
psaltery, and all kinds of music, all 
the people, the nations, and the 
languages, fell down and worship- 
ped the golden image that Nebu- 
chadnezzar the king had set up. 

8 % Wherefore at that time cer- 
tain Chaldeans e came near,/ and 
accused the Jews. 

9 They spake and said to the king 
Nebuchadnezzar, g king, live for 
ever.

10 Thou, king, hast made a 
decree, that every man that shall 
hear the sound of the cornet, flute, 
harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dul- 
cimer, and all kinds of music, shall 
fall down and worship the golden 
image: 

11 And whoso falleth not down 
and worshippeth, that he should be 
cast into the midst of a burning 
fiery furnace. 

12 There h are certain Jews whom 
thou hast set over the affairs of the 
province of Babylon, Shadrach, 
Meshach, and Abed-nego; these 
men, O king, 4 have not regarded 
thee; they serve not thy gods, nor 
worship the golden image which 
thou hast set up. 

13 % Then Nebuchadnezzar in his 
rage and fury commanded to bring 
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego. Then * they brought these 
men before the king. 

14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and 
said unto them, Is it 6 true, O Shad- 
rach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do 
not ye serve my •? gods, nor worship 
the golden image which I have set 
up? 

15 Now if ye be ready that at what 
time ye hear the sound of the cor- 
net, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, 
and dulcimer, and all kinds of 
music, ye fall down and worship 
the image which I have made, 
well: k but if ye worship not, ye 
shall be cast the same hour into 
the midst of a burning fiery fur- 
nace; l and who is that god that 
shall deliver you out of my hands? 

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego, answered and said to the 
king, O Nebuchadnezzar, m we are 
not careful to answer thee in this 
matter. 

17 If it be so, our Cod whom we 
serve is able to deliver us from the 
burning fiery furnace, and n he will 
deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 

18 But if not, ° be it known unto 
thee, O king, that we will not serve 
thy gods, nor worship the golden 
image which thou hast set up. 

19 ^ Then was Nebuchadnezzar 
6 full of fury, and the form of his 
visage was changed against Shad- 
rach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: 
therefore he spake, and commanded 
that they should heat the furnace 
one seven times more than it was 
wont to be heated. 

20 And he commanded the 7 most 
mighty men that were in his army 
to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and 



Nebuchadnezzar's decree.

His dream of the great tree. 



Abed-nego, and to cast them into 
the burning fiery furnace. 

21 Then these men were bound in 
their 8 coats, their hosen, and their 

9 hats, and their other garments, 
and -were cast into the midst of 
the burning fiery furnace. 

22 Therefore because the king's 

10 commandment was urgent, and 
the furnace exceeding hot, the 

11 flame of the fire slew those men 
that took up Shadrach, Meshach, 
and Abed-nego. 

23 And these three men, Shad- 
rach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell 
down F bound into the midst of the 
burning fiery furnace. 

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king 
was astonied,and rose up in haste, 
and spake, and said unto 12 his 
counsellors, Did not we cast three 
men bound into the midst of the 
fire? They answered and said unto 
the king, True, king. 

25 He answered and said, Lo, I 
see four men loose, q walking in the 
midst of the fire, and 13 they have 
no hurt; and the form of the fourth 
is like r the Son of God. 

26 % Then Nebuchadnezzar came 
near to the u mouth of the burn- 
ing fiery furnace, and spake, and 
said, Shadrach, Meshach, and 
Abed-nego, ye servants of the 
most high God, come forth, and 
come hither. Then Shadrach, Me- 
shach, and Abed-nego, came forth 
of the midst of the fire. 

27 And the princes, governors, i 
and captains, and the king's coun- i 
sellors, being gathered together, | 
saw these men, * upon whose bodies 
the fire had no power, nor was an 
hair of their head singed, neither ! 
were their coats changed, nor the 
smell of fire had passed on them. 

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, 
and said, Blessed be the God of 
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego, who hath sent his angel, and 
delivered his servants that ' trusted 
in him, and have changed the 
king's word, and yielded their 
bodies, that they might not serve 
nor worship any god except their 
own God. 

29 Therefore 15 1 make a decree, 
That every people, nation, and 
language, which speak 16 any thing 
amiss against the God of Shadrach, 
Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be 
17 cut in pieces, and their houses 
6hall be made a dunghill; M because 
there is no other God that can 
deliver after this sort.

CHAPTEK IV. 

I Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges God's 
eternal dominion: 4 he relates a dream: 
19 Daniel irderprus ii: 28 the dratwrt 
fulfilled. 

VfEBUCHADNEZZAB the king, 
JL\ unto a all people, nations, and 
I languages, that dwell in all the 
'. earth; Peace be multiplied unto 
you. 
2 1 ! thought it good to show the 
signs and wonders 6 that the high 
: God hath wrought toward me. 
! 3 How c great are his signs! and 
: how mighty are his wonders! his 
kingdom is an d everlasting king- 
j dom, and his dominion is from 
: generation to generation. 

4 % I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest 
i in mine house, and flourishing in 
j my palace: 

I 5 I saw a dream which made me 
afraid, and 6 the thoughts upon 
my bed and the visions of my head 
troubled / me. 

I 6 Therefore made I a decree to 
; bring in all the wise men of Baby- 
| Ion before me, that they might 
j make known unto me the inter - 
I pretation of the' dream. 
| 7 Then 9 came in the magicians, 
j the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and 
| the soothsayers: and I told the 
dream before them; but they did 
not make known unto me the in- 
terpretation thereof. 

8 But at the last Daniel came in 
before me, whose h name was Bel- 
teshazzar, according to the name 
of my god, * and in whom is the 
spirit of the holy gods: and before 
him I told the dream, saving, 

9 Belteshazzar, i master of the 
magicians, because 1 know that 
the spirit of the holy gods is in | 
thee, and no secret troubleth thee, 
tell me the visions of my dream 
that I have seen, and the interpre- 
tation thereof. 

10 Thus were the visions of mine 
head in my bed; 2 I saw, and be- 
hold a * tree in the midst of the 
earth, and the height thereof was 
great 

II The tree grew, and was strong, 
and the height thereof reached 
unto heaven, and the sight thereof 
to the end of all the earth: 

12 The leaves thereof were fair, 

and the fruit thereof much, and in 

it was meat for all: { the beasts of 

the field had shadow under it, and 

3G

DANIEL, IV. 



Nebuchadnezzar's dream. 



the fowls of the heaven dwelt in 
the Loughs thereof, and all flesh 
was fed of it. 

13 I saw in the visions of my head 
upon my bed, and, behold, m a 
watcher and an holy " one came 
down from heaven: 

14 He cried 3 aloud, and said thus, 
Hew ° down the tree, and cut off 
his branches, shake off his leaves, 
and scatter his fruit: let p the beasts 
get away from under it, and the 
fowls from his branches: 

15 Nevertheless^, leave the stump 
of his roots in the earth, even with 
a band of iron and brass, in the 
tender grass of the field; and let 
it be wet with the dew of heaven, 
and let his portion be with the 
beasts in the grass of the earth: 

16 Let his heart be changed from 
man's, and let a beast's heart be 
given unto him; and let q seven 
times pass over him. 

17 This matter is by the decree of 
the watchers, and the demand by 
the word of the holy ones; to the 
intent r that the living may know 
that s the Most High ruleth in the 
kingdom of men, and giveth it to 
whomsoever he will, and setteth 
up over it the basest of men. 

18 This dream I king Nebuchad- 
nezzar have seen. Now thou, 
Belteshazzar, declare the interpre- 
tation thereof, ' forasmuch as all 
the wise men of my kingdom are 
not able to make known unto me 
the interpretation: but thou art 
able; for the spirit of the holy gods 
is in thee. 

19 ^f Then Daniel, whose name was 
Belteshazzar, was astonied for one 
hour, and his thoughts troubled 
him. The king spake, and said, 
Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or 
the interpretation thereof, trouble 
thee. Belteshazzar answered and 
said,My lord, the "dream be to them 
that hate thee, and the interpreta- 
tion thereof to thine enemies. 

20 The tree that thou sawest^ 
which grew, and was strong, whose 
height reached unto the heaven, 
and the sight thereof to all the 
earth; 

21 Whose leaves were fair, and the 
fruit thereof much, and in it was 
meat for all; under which the 
beasts of the field dwelt, and upon 
whose branches the fowls of the 
heaven had their habitation: 

22 It ° is thou, king, that art 
grown and become strong: for thy 
greatness is grown, and reachetu ;

unto heaven, w and thy dominion 
to the end of the earth. 

23 And whereas the king saw a 
watcher and an holy one coming 
down from heaven, and saying, 
Hew the tree down, and destroy 
it; yet leave the stump of the roots 
thereof in the earth, even with a 
band of iron and brass, in the ten- 
der grass of the held; and let it be 
wet with the dew of heaven, ^and 
let his portion fie with the beasts of 
the field, till seven times pass over 
him; 

24 This is the interpretation, O 
king, and this is the decree of the 
Most High, which is come upon 
my lord y the king: 

25 That they shall drive thee from 
men, and thy dwelling shall be 
with the beasts of the field, and 
they shall make thee z to eat grass 
as oxen, and they shall wet thee 
with the dew of heaven, and seven 
times shall pass over thee, a till 
thou know that the Most High 
ruleth in the kingdom of men, and 
giveth b it to whomsoever he will. 

26 And whereas they commanded 
to leave the stump of the tree roots; 
thy kingdom shall be sure unto 
thee, after that thou shalt have 
known that the c heavens do rule. 

27 Wherefore, O king, let my 
counsel be acceptable unto thee, 
and d break off thy sins by right- 
eousness, and thine iniquities by 
showing mercy to the poor; 6 if it 
may be 4 a lengthening of thy 
tranquillity. 

28 ]\ All this came upon the king 
Nebuchadnezzar. 

29 At the end of twelve months 
he walked 6 in the palace of the 
kingdom of Babylon. 

30 The king / spake, and said, Is 
not this great Babylon, that I have 
built for the house of the kingdom 
by the might of my power, and for 
the honour of my majesty? 

31 While 9 the word was in the 
king's mouth, there fell a voice 
from heaven, saying, O king Nebu- 
chadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; 
The kingdom is departed from 
thee: 

32 And they shall drive thee from 
men, and thy dwelling shall be with 
the beasts of the field: they shall 
make thee to eat grass as oxen, and 
seven times shall pass over thee, 
until thou know that the Most 
High ruleth in the kingdom of 
men, and giveth it to whomsoever 
he will. 



Nebuchadnezzar' s pride abased. 



DANIEL, Y. 



Belshazzar 1 s impious feast. 



; 33 The h same hour was the thing 

i fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar : 

i and he was driven from men, and 

I did eat grass as oxen, and his body 

was wet with the dew of heaven, 

till his hairs were grown like 

eagles' feathers, and his nails like 

birds' claws. 

34 And at the end of the days I 
Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine 
eyes unto heaven, aud mine under- 
standing returned unto me, and I 
blessed the Most High, and I praised 
and honoured him » that liveth for 
ever, whose dominion is i an ever- 
lasting dominion, and his kingdom 
is from generation to generation: 

35 And k all the inhabitants of 
the earth are reputed as nothing: 
and l he doeth according to his 
will in the army of heaven, and 
among the inhabitants of the 
earth; and m none can stay his 
hand, or say unto him, n What 
doest thou? 

36 At the same time my reason 
returned unto me ; and for the 
glory of my kingdom, mine honour 
and brightness returned unto me; 
and my counsellors and my lords 
sought unto me; and I was estab- 
lished in my kingdom, and excel- 
lent majesty was added ° unto me. 

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise 
and extol and honour the King 
of heaven, all whose works are 
truth, and his ways judgment: 
and those that walk in pride he 
is able to abase. 

CHAPTEE V. 

Btlshazzar's impious feast. 

BELSHAZZAR the king a made 
a great feast to a thousand of 
his lords, and drank wine before 
the thousand. 

2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the 
wine, commanded to bring the 
golden and silver vessels which 
his l father Nebuchadnezzar had 
2 taken out of the temple which 
was in Jerusalem; that the king, 
and his princes, his wives, and his 
concubines, might b drink therein. 

3 Then they brought the golden 
■vessels that were taken out of the 
temple of the house of God which 
was at Jerusalem; and the king, 
and his princes, his wives, and his 
concubines, drank in them. 

4 They drank wine, and praised 
the c gods of gold, and of silver, of 
brass, of iron, of wood, and of 
stone.

over against the candlestick upon 
the plaster of the wall of the king's 
palace: and the king saw the part 
of the hand that wrote. 

6 Then the king's 3 countenance 
4 was changed, and his 6 thoughts 
troubled him, so that the 6 joints 
of his loins were loosed, and his 
knees ' smote one against another. 

7 The king cried 6 aloud to bring 
in 9 the astrologers, the Chaldeans, 
and the soothsayers. And the 
king spake, and said to the wise 
men of Babylon, Whosoever shall 
read this writing, and show me the 
interpretation thereof, shall be 
clothed with 7 scarlet, and have a 
chain of gold about his neck, h and 
shall be the third ruler in the king- 
dom. 

8 Then came in all the king's 
wise men: but • they could not read 
the writing, nor make known to 
the king the interpretation thereof. 

9 Then was king Belshazzar 
greatly troubled, and his s counte- 
nance was changed in him, and 
his lords were astonied. 

10 % Now the queen, by reason of 
the words of the king and his lords, 
came into the banquet house: and 
the queen spake, and said, j O king, 
live for ever: let not thy thoughts 
trouble thee, nor let thy counte- 
nance be changed: 

11 There is a man in thy kingdom 
in whom is the spirit of the holy 
gods; and in the days of thy 

9 father, light and understanding 
and wisdom, like the wisdom of 
the gods, was found in him; whom 
the king Nebuchadnezzar thy 

10 father, the king, I say, thy father, 
made k master of the magicians, 
astrologers, Chaldeans, and sooth- 
sayers; 

12 Forasmuch l as an excellent 
spirit, and knowledge, and under- 
standing, u interpreting of dreams, 
and showing of hard sentences, 
and 12 dissolving of ^ doubts, were 
found in the same Daniel, whom 
the king named Belteshazzar: now 
let Daniel be called, and he will 
show the interpretation. 

13 Then was Daniel brought in 
before the king. And the king 
spake and said unto Daniel, Art 
thou that Daniel, which art of the 
children of the captivity of Judah, 
whom the king my u father 
brought out of Jewry? 

14 1 have even heard of thee, that 
the spirit of the gods is in thee, 
and that light and understanding

DANIEL, VI. 



the handwriting on the wall 



and excellent wisdom is found in 
thee. 

15 And now the wise men, the 
astrologers, have been brought in 
before me, that they should read 
this writing, and make known unto 
me the interpretation thereof: but 
they could not show the interpre- 
tation of the thing: 

16 And I have heard of thee, that 
thou canst 15 make interpretations, 
and dissolve doubts: now if thou 
canst read the writing, and make 
known to me the interpretation 
thereof, thou shalt be clothed with 
scarlet, and have a chain of gold 
about thy neck, and shalt be the 
third ruler in the kingdom. 

17 \ Then Daniel answered and 
said before the king, Let thy gifts 
be to thyself, and give thy 

16 rewards to another; yet I will 
read the writing unto the king, 
and make known to him the in- 
terpretation. 

18 thou king, m the most high 
God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy 
father a kingdom, and majesty, 
and glory, and honour: 

19 And for the majesty that he 
gave him, all "people, nations, 
and languages, trembled and 
feared before him: whom he would 
he slew, and whom he would he 
kept alive, and whom he would he 
set up, and whom he would he 
put down. 

20 But "when his heart was 
lifted up, and his mind hardened 

17 in pride, he was 18 deposed from 
his kingly throne, and they took 
his glory from him: 

21 And he was p driven from the 
sons of men; and 19 his heart was 
made like the beasts, and his 
dwelling was with the wild asses: 
they fed him with glass like oxen, 
and his body was wet with the 
dew of heaven; 9 till he knew that 
the most high God ruled in the 
kingdom of men, and that he ap- 
pointeth over it whomsoever he 
will. 

22 And thou his son, O Bel- 
shazzar, r hast not humbled thine 
heart, though thou knewest all this; 

23 But hast " lifted up thyself 
against the Lord of heaven; and 
they have brought the vessels of 
his house before thee, and thou, 
and thy lords, thy wives, and thy 
concubines, have drunk wine in 
them; and thou hast praised the 
gods of silver, and gold, of brass, 
iron, wood, and stone, which see

24 Then was the part of the hand 
sent from him; and this writing 
was written. 

25 % And this is the writing 
that was written, MENE, MENE,

29 Then commanded Belshazzar, 
and they clothed Daniel with scar- 
let, and put a chain of gold about 
his neck, and made a proclamation 
concerning him, that he should 
be the third ruler in the king- 
dom. 

30 f In* that night was Belshaz- 
zar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 

31 And * Darius the Median took 
the kingdom, 20 being 21 about 
threescore and two years old. 

CHAPTER VI. 
Daniel is cast into the den of lions. 

IT pleased Darius to set a over 
the kingdom an hundred and 
twenty princes, which should be 
over the whole kingdom; 

2 And over these three presidents, 
of whom b Daniel was first; that 
the princes might give accounts 
unto them, and the king should 
have no damage. 

3 Then this Daniel was preferred 
above the presidents and princes, 
because c an excellent spirit was in 
him; and the king thought to set 
him over the whole realm. 

4 1[ Then d the presidents and 
princes sought to find occasion 
against Daniel concerning the 
kingdom; but 6 they could find 
none occasion nor fault; forasmuch 
as he was faithful, neither was there 
any error or fault found in him. 

5 Then said these men, We shall 
not find any occasion against this 
Daniel, except we find it against 
him concerning the law of his God. 

6 Then these presidents and 
princes l assembled together to 
the king, and said thus unto him, 
King Darius/ live for ever. 

7 All the presidents of the king- 
dom, the governors, and the

princes, the counsellors, and the 
captains, have consulted together 
to establish a royal statute, and to 
make a firm 2 decree, that whoso- 
ever shall ask a petition of any 
god or man for thirty days, save of 
thee, king, he shall be cast into 
the den of lions. 

8 Now, king, establish the de- 
cree, and sign the writing, that it 
be not changed, according to the 
law 9 of the Medes and Persians, 
which 3 altereth not. 

9 "Wherefore h king Darius signed 
the writing and the decree. 

10 ^f Now when Daniel knew that 
the writing was signed, he went 
into his house; and, * his windows 
being open in his chamber-' toward 
Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his 
knees * three times a day, and 
prayed, and gave thanks before 
his God, as he did aforetime. 

11 Then these men assembled, 
and found Daniel praying and 
making supplication before his 
God. 

12 Then l they came near, and 
spake before the king concerning 
the king's decree; Hast thou not 
signed a decree, that every man 
that shall ask apetition of any god 
or man within thirty days, save of 
thee, king, shall be cast into the 
den of lions? The king answered 
and said, The thing is true, accord- 
ing to the law of the Medes and 
Persians, which altereth not. 

13 Then answered they, and said 
before the king, That Daniel, 
which m is of the children of the 
captivity of Judah, " regardeth not 
thee, king, nor the decree that 
thou hast signed, but maketh his 
petition three times a day. 

14 Then the king, when he heard 
these words, ° was sore displeased 
with himself, and set his heart on 
Daniel to deliver him ; and he 
laboured till the going down of the 
sun to deliver him. 

15 Then these men assembled 
unto the king, and said unto the 
king, Know, king, that the law 
of the Medes and Persians is, That 
no decree nor statute which 
the king establisheth may be 
changed. 

16 Then the king commanded, 
and they brought Daniel, and cast 
him into the den of lions. Now 
the king spake and said unto 
Daniel, p Thy God, whom thou 
6ervest continually, he will deliver 
thee.

| 17 And q a stone was brought, and 
laid upon the mouth of the den; 
and r the lung sealed it with his 
own signet, and with the signet of 
his lords; that the purpose might 
not be changed concerning Daniel. 

18 f Then the king went to his 
palace, and passed the night fast- 
ing: neither were 4 instruments of 
music brought before him : and 
his s sleep went from him. 

19 Then the king arose very early 
in the morning, and went in haste 
unto the den of lions. 

20 And when he came to the den, 
he cried with a lamentable voice 
unto Daniel: and the king spake 
and said to Daniel, O Daniel, 
servant of the living God, * is thy 
God, whom thou servest contin- 
ually, able to deliver thee from the 
lions? 

21 Then said Daniel unto the 
king, * O king, live for ever. 

22 My v God hath sent w his 
angel, and hath x shut the lions' 
moutbs, that they have not hurt 
me: forasmuch as before him inno- 
cency was found in me; and also 
before thee, O king, have I done 
no hurt. 

23 Then was the king exceeding 
glad for him, and commanded 
that they should take Daniel up 
out of the den. So Daniel was 
taken up out of the den, y and no 
manner of hurt was found upon 
him, because he believed in his 
God. 

24 % And the king commanded, 
and * they brought those men 
which had accused Daniel, and 
they cast them into the den of 
lions, them, a their children, and 
their wives; and the lions had the 
mastery of them, and brake all 
their bones in pieces or ever they 
came at the bottom of the den. 

25 % Then b king Darius wrote 
unto all people, nations, and lan- 
guages, that dwell in all the earth; 
Peace be multiplied unto you. 

26 I c make a decree, That in 
every dominion of my kingdom 
men d tremble and fear before the 
God of Daniel; 6 for he is the living 
God, and stedfast for ever, and his 
kingdom that which shall not / be 
destroyed, and his dominion shall 
be even unto the end. 

27 He delivereth and rescueth, 
and 5 he workethsigns and wonders 
in heaven and in earth, who hath

of the lions. 



DanieVs vision of the four beasts 



DANIEL, VII. 



Of God's kingdom. 



28 So this Daniel prospered in the 
reign of Darius, h and in the reign 
of * Cyrus the Persian. 

CHAPTER VII 

1 Daniel's vision of Vie four beasts, 

9 and of Hod's kingdom. 

IN the first year of Belshazzar 
king of Babylon, Daniel \ had 
a dream and visions a of his head 
upon his bed: then he wrote the 
dream, and told the sum of the 
2 matters. 

2 Daniel spake, and said, I saw in 
my vision by night, and, behold, 
the four winds of the heaven 

I strove upon the great sea. 

3 And four great beasts 6 came 
up from the sea, diverse one from 
another. 

4 The first was c like a lion, and 
had eagle's wings: I beheld till the 
wings thereof were plucked, 3 and 
it was lifted up from the earth, and 
made stand upon the feet as a 
man, and a man's heart was given 
to it. 

5 And d behold another beast, a 
second, like to a bear, and 4 it 
raised up itself on one side, and it 
had three ribs in the mouth of it 
between the teeth of it: and they 
said thus unto it, Arise, devour 
much flesh. 

6 After this I beheld, and lo 
another, like a leopard, which had 
upon the back of it four wings of a 
fowl; the beast had also * four 
heads; and dominion was given to 
it. 

7 After this I saw in the night 
visions, and behold a fourth beast, 
dreadful and terrible, and strong 
exceedingly; and it had great iron 
teeth: it devoured and brake in 
pieces, and stamped the residue 
with the feet of it: and it was di- 
verse from all the beasts that were 
before it; / and it had ten horns. 

8 I considered the horns, and, 
behold, there g came up among 
them another little horn, before 
whom there were three of the first 
hornsplucked up by the roots: and, 
behold, in this horn were eyes like 
the eyes of man, and a mouth 
speaking great things. 

9 f I » beheld till the thrones 
were cast down, and i the Ancient 
of days did sit, whose i garment 
was white as snow, and the hair of 
his head like the pure wool: his 
throne was like the fiery flame, k and 
his wheels as burning fire. 

10 A fiery stream issued and came 
forth from before him: l thousand

thousands ministered unto him,, 
and ten thousand times ten thou- 
sand stood before him: the judg- 
ment was set, and the books were 
opened. 

11 I beheld then because of the 
voice of the great words which the 
horn spake: *" I beheld even till the 
beast was slain, and his body de- 
stroyed, and given to the burning 
flame. 

12 As concerning the rest of the 
beasts, they had their dominion 
taken away: yet 5 their lives were 
prolonged for a season and time. 

13 I saw in the night visions, and, 
behold, one n like the Son of man 
came with the clouds of heaven, 
and came to the Ancient of days, 
and they brought him near before 
him. 

14 And ° there was given him 
dominion, and glory, and a king- 
dom, that all people, nations, and 
languages, should serve him: his 
dominion is p an everlasting do- 
minion, which shall not pass away, 
and his kingdom that which shall 
not be destroyed. 

15 ^ I Daniel was grieved in my 
spirit in the midst of my 6 body, 
and the visions of my head 
troubled me. 

16 I came near unto one of them 
that stood by, and asked him the 
truth of all this. So he told me, 
and made me know the interpre- 
tation of the things. 

17 These great beasts, which are 
four, are four kings, which shall arise 
out of the earth. 

18 But q the saints of 7 the Most 
High shall take the kingdom, and 
possess the kingdom for ever, even 
for ever and ever. 

19 Then I would know the truth 
of the fourth beast, which was di- 
verse 8 from all the others, exceed- 
ing dreadful, whose teeth were of 
iron, and his nails of brass; which 
devoured, brake in pieces, and 
stamped the residue with his feet; 

20 And of the ten horns that were 
in his head, and of the other which 
came up, and before whom three 
fell; even of that horn that had 
eyes, and a mouth that spake very 
great things, whose look was more 
stout than his fellows. . 

21 I beheld, r and the same horn 
made war with the saints, and 
prevailed against them; 

22 Until the Ancient of * days 
came, t and judgment was given 
to the saints of the Most High; and 



Daniel's vision 



DANIEL, VIII. 



of the ram and he-goat. 



the time came that the saints pos- 
sessed the kingdom. 

23 Thus he said, The fourth heast 
shall be the fourth kingdom upon 
earth, which shall be diverse from 
all kingdoms, and shall devour the 
v/hole earth, and shall tread it 
down, and break it in pieces. 

24 And M the ten horns out of 
this kingdom are ten kings that 
shall arise: and another shall rise 
after them; and he shall be diverse 
from the first, and he shall subdue 
three kings. 

25 And v he shall speak great 
words against the Most High, and 
shall w wear out the saints of the 
Most High, and think x to change 
times and laws: and they y shall be 
given into his band z until a time 
and times and the dividing of 
time. 

26 But the judgment shall sit, 
and they shall take away his do- 
minion, to consume and to destroy 
it unto the end. 

27 And the kingdom and domin- 
ion, and the greatness of the 
kingdom under the whole heaven, 
shall be given to the people of the 
saints of the Most High, a whose 
kingdom is an everlasting king- 
dom, and all 9 dominions shall 
serve and obey him. 

28 Hitherto is the end of the 
matter. As for me Daniel, my 
cogitations much troubled me, and 
my countenance changed in me: 
but I b kept the matter in my 
heart. 

CHAPTER VHL 
Daniel's vision of the ram and he-goat. 

IN the third year of the reign of 
king Belshazzar a vision ap- 
S eared unto me, even unto me 
aniel, after that which appeared 
unto me at the first. 

2 And I saw in a vision; and it 
came to pass, when I saw, that I 
was at a Shushan in the palace, 
which is in the province 6 of Elarn; 
and I saw in a vision, and I was 
by the river of Ulai. 

3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and 
saw, and, behold, there stood before 
the river a ram which had two 
horns: and the two horns were high; 
but one was higher than x the 
other, and the higher came up last. 

4 I saw the ram pushing west- 
ward, and northward, and south- 
ward ; so that no beasts might 
stand before him, neither was there 
any that could deliver out of his

hand; but c he did according to 
his will, and became great. 

5 And as I was considering, be- 
hold, an he-goat came from the 
west, on the face of the whole 
earth, and 2 touched not the 
ground: and the goat had 3 a nota- 
ble horn between his eyes. 

6 And he came to the ram that 
had two horns, which I had seen 
standing before the river, and ran 
unto him in the fury of his power. 

7 And I saw him come close unto 
the ram, and he was moved with 
choler against him, and smote the 
ram, and brake his two horns: and 
there was no power in the ram to 
stand before him, but he cast him 
down to the ground, and stamped 
upon him: and there was none 
that could deliver the ram out of 
his hand. 

8 Therefore the he-goat waxed 
very great : and, when he was 
strong, the great horn was broken; 
and for it came up d four notable 
ones, toward the four winds of 
heaven. 

9 And out of one of them came 
forth a little horn, which waxed 
exceeding great, toward e the south, 
and toward the east, and toward 
the-'' pleasant land. 

10 And 9 it waxed great, even 4 to 
the host of heaven; and h it cast 
down some of the host and of the 
stars to the ground, and stamped 
upon them. 

11 Yea, * he magnified himself even 

5 to the prince of the host, and 

6 by him the daily sacrifice was 
taken away, and the place of his 
sanctuary was cast down. 

12 And 7 an host was given him 
against the daily sacrifice by reason 
of transgression, and it cast down 
the truth to the ground; and it 
practised, and prospered. 

13 f Then I heard i one saint 
speaking, and another saint said 
unto 8 that certain saint which 
spake, How long shall be the vision 
concerning the daily sacrifice, and 
the transgression 9 of desolation, 
to give both the sanctuary and the 
host to be trodden under foot? 

14 And he said unto me, Unto 
two thousand and three hundred 
10 days; then shall the sanctuary 
be u cleansed. 

15 If And it came to pass, when 
I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, 
and sought for the meaning, then, 
behold, there stood before me as 
the appearance of a man. 



Gabriel interprets the vision. 

16 And I heard a man's voice 
between the banks of Ulai, which 
called, and said, * Gabriel, make 
this man to understand the vision. 

17 So he came near where I stood; 
and when he came, I was afraid, 
and l fell upon my face: but he 
said unto me, Understand, son 
of man; for at the time of the end 
shall be the vision. 

18 Now as he was speaking with 
me, I was in a deep sleep on my 
face toward the ground: but he 
touched me, and 12 set me upright. 

19 And he said, Behold, I will 
make thee know what shall be in 
the last end of the indignation: 
for at the time appointed the end 
shall be. 

20 The ram which thou sawest 
having two horns are the kings of 
Media and Persia. 

21 And the rough goat is the king 
of G-recia: and the great horn that 
is between his eyes is the first king. 

22 Now that being broken, where- 
as four stood up for it, four king- 
doms shall stand up out of the 
nation, but not in his power. 

23 And in the latter time of their 
kingdom, when the transgressors 
13 are come to the full, a king m of 
fierce countenance, and under- 
standing dark sentences, shall 
stand up. 

24 And his power shall be mighty, 
but n not by his own power: and 
he shall destroy wonderfully, and 
shall prosper, and practise, and 
shall destroy the mighty and the 
11 holy people. 

25 And through his policy also he 
shall cause craft to prosper in his 
hand; and he shall magnify himself 
in his heart, and by 1S peace shall 
destroy many: he shall also stand 
up against the Prince of princes; 
but he shall be ° broken without 
hand. 

26 And the vision of the evening 
and the morning which was told 
is true: p wherefore shut thou up 
the vision; for it shall be for many 
days. 

27 And I Daniel fainted, and was 
sick certain days: afterward I rose 
up, 3 and did the king's business; 
and I was astonished at the vision, 
but none understood it.

| made king over the realm of the 
Chaldeans; 

2 In the first year of his reign, I 
Daniel understood by books the 
number of the years, whereof the 
word of the Lord came to b Jere- 
miah the prophet, that he would 
accomplish seventy years in the 
desolations of Jerusalem. 

3 If And I set my face unto the 
Lord God, to seek by prayer and 
supplications, with fasting, and 
sackcloth, and ashes: 

4 And I prayed unto the Lord 
my God, and made my confession, 
and said, O Lord, the great and 
dreadful God, keeping the cove- 
nant and mercy to them that love 
him, and to them that keep his 
commandments; 

5 We c have sinned, and have 
committed iniquity, and have done 
wickedly, and have rebelled, even 
by departing from thy precepts and 
from thy judgments: 

6 Neither d have we hearkened 
unto thy servants the prophets, 
which spake in thy name to our 
lungs, our princes, and our fathers, 
and to all the people of the 
land. 

7 O Lord, righteousness 2 belongeth 
unto thee, but unto us confusion 
of faces, as at this day; to the men 
of Judah, and to the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, 
that are near, and that are far off, 
through all the countries whither 
thou hast driven them, because of 
their trespass that they have tres- 
passed against thee. 

8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion 
of face, to our kings, to our princes, 
and to our fathers, because we have 
sinned against thee. 

9 To 6 the Lord our God belong 
mercies and forgivenesses, though 
we have rebelled against him; 

10 Neither have we obeyed the 
voice of the Lord our God, to walk 
in his laws, which he set before us 
by his servants the prophets. 

11 Yea, all / Israel have trans- 
gressed thy law, even by departing, 
that they might not obey thy voice; 
therefore the curse is poured 9 upon 
us, and the oath that is written 
in the law of Moses the servant 
of God, because we have sinned 
against him. 

12 And he h hath confirmed his 
words, which he spake against us, 
and against our judges that judged 
us, by bringing upon us a great 
evil: for under the whole heaven

hath not heen done as hath been 
done upon Jerusalem. 

13 As it is written in the law of 
Moses, all this evil is come upon 
us: yet 3 made we not our prayer 
before the Lord our God, that we 
might turn from our iniquities, 
and understand thy truth. 

14 Therefore hath the Lord 
watched upon the evil, and 
brought it upon us: for the Lord 
our God is righteous in all his 
works which he doeth: for we 
obeyed not his voice. 

15 And now, O Lord our God, 
that hast brought thy people forth 
out of the land of Egypt with a 
mighty hand, and hast 4 gotten 
thee renown, as at this day; we have 
sinned, we have done wickedly. 

16 f Lord, according to all thy 
righteousness, I beseech thee, let 
thine anger and thy fury be turned 
away from thy city Jerusalem, thy 
holy mountain: because for our 
sins, and for the iniquities of our 
fathers, Jerusalem and thy people 
are become a reproach to all that are 
about us. 

17 Now therefore, our God, hear 
the prayer of thy servant, and his 
supplications, and cause thy face 
to shine upon thy sanctuary that 
is desolate, for the Lord's sake. 

18 my God, incline thine ear, 
and hear; open thine eyes, and 
behold our desolations, and the 
city 5 which is called by thy name: 
for we do not 6 present our sup- 
plications before thee for our 
righteousnesses, but for thy great 
mercies. 

19 Lord, hear; Lord, forgive; 
O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, 
for thine own sake, my God: for 
thy city and thy people are called 
by thy name. 

20 H And whiles I was speaking, 
and praying, and confessing my 
sin and the sin of my people Israel, 
and presenting my supplication 
before the Lord my God for the 
holy mountain of my God; 

21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in 
prayer, even the man Gabriel, 
whom I had seen in the vision at 
the beginning, being caused to fly 
7 swiftly, touched me about the

Daniel sees a glorious vision. 

IN the third year of Cyrus king 
of Persia a thing was revealed 
unto Daniel, whose name was 
called Belteshazzar; and the thing 
was true, but the time appointed 
was l long: and he understood the 
thing, and had understanding of 
the vision. 

2 In those days I Daniel was 
mourning three 2 full weeks. 

3 I ate no 3 pleasant bread, 
neither came flesh nor wine in 
my mouth, neither did I anoint 
myself at all, till three whole weeks 
were fulfilled. 

4 And in the four and twentieth 
day of the first month, as I was by 
the side of the great river, which 
is * Hiddekel; 

5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and 
looked, and behold 6 a certain 



Daniel sees a glorious vision. 



DANIEL, XI. 



Overthrow of Persia. 



man clothed in linen, whose loins 
were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: 

6 His body also was like the beryl, 
and a his face as the appearance of 
lightning, and his eyes as lamps of 
fire, and his arms and his feet like 
in colour to polished brass, and 
the voice of his words like the 
voice of a multitude. 

7 And I Daniel alone saw the 
vision: for the men that were with 
me saw not the vision; but a great 
quaking fell upon them, so that 
they fled to hide themselves. 

8 Therefore I was left alone, and 
saw b this great vision, and there 
remained no strength in me : for 
my 6 comeliness was turned in me 
into corruption, and I retained no 
strength. 

9 Yet heard I the voice of his 
words: and when I heard the voice 
of his words, then was I in a deep 
sleep c on my face, and my face 
toward the ground. 

10 1[ And, behold, an hand 
touched me, which 7 set me upon 
my knees and upon the palms of 
my hands. 

11 And he said unto me, Daniel, 
8 a man greatly beloved, under- 
stand the words that I speak unto 
thee, and 9 stand upright ; for 
unto thee am I now sent. And 
when he had spoken this word 
unto me, I stood trembling. 

12 Then said he unto me, d Fear 
not, Daniel; for from the first day 
that thou didst set thine heart to 
understand, and to chasten thyself 
before thy God, thy words were 
heard, and I am come for thy 
words. 

13 But the prince of the kingdom 
of Persia withstood me one and 
twenty days: but, lo, 6 Michael, 
10 one of the chief princes, came to 
help me; and I remained there 
with the kings of Persia. 

14 Now I am come to make thee 
understand what shall befall thy 
people in the latter days: for yet 
the vision is for many days. 

15 And when he had spoken such 
words unto me, T set my face to- 
ward the ground, and 1 became 
dumb. 

16 And, behold, one like the 
similitude of the sons of men 
touched "my lips: then I opened 
my mouth, and spake, and said 
unto him that stood before me, O 
my lord, by the vision my sorrows 
are tinned upon me, and I have 
retained no strength.

30 Invasion and tyranny of the Romans. 

ALSO I, "in the first year oi 
Darius h the Mede, even I, 
stood to confirm and to strengthen 
him. 

2 And now will I show thee the 
truth. Behold, there shall stand 
up yet three kings in Persia; 
and the fourth shall be far richer 
than they all: and by his strength 
through his riches he shall stir up 
all against the realm of Grecia. 

3 And c a mighty king shall 
stand up, that shall rule with 
great dominion, and d do accord- 
ing to his will. 

4 And when he shall stand up, 
his 6 kingdom shall be broken, 
and shall be divided toward the 
four winds of heaven; and not to 
his posterity, / nor according to his 
dominion which he ruled: for his 
kingdom shall be plucked up, even 
for others besides those. 

5 % And the king of the south 
shall be strong, and one of his 
princes; and he shall be strong 
above him, and have dominion; 
his dominion shall be a great do- 
minion. ,. 

6 And in the end of years they 
1 shall join themselves together; 
for the king's daughter of the

of the north to make 2 an agree- 
ment: but she shall not retain 
the power of the arm; neither 
shall he stand, nor his arm: but 
she shall be given up, and they 
that brought her, and 3 he that 
begat her, and he that strength- 
ened her in these times. 

7 But out of a branch of her roots 
shall one stand up 4 in his estate, 
which shall come with an army, 
and shall enter into the fortress of 
the king of the north, and shall 
deal against them, and shall pre- 
vail; 

8 And shall also carry captives 
into Egypt their gods, with their 
princes, and with 5 their precious 
vessels of silver and of gold; and 
he shall continue more years than 
the king of the north. 

9 So the king of the south shall 
come into his kingdom, and shall 
return into his own land. 

10 But his sons 6 shall be stirred 
up, and shall assemble a multitude 
of great forces: and one shall cer- 
tainly come, 9 and overflow, and 
pass through: 7 then shall he re- 
turn, and be stirred up, even to his 
fortress. 

11 And the king of the south 
shall be moved with choler, and 
shall come forth and fight with 
him, even with the king of the 
north : and he shall set forth a 
great multitude; but the multitude 
shall be given into his hand. 

12 And when he hath taken away 
the multitude, his h heart shall be 
lifted up; and he shall cast down 
many ten thousands : but he shall 
not be strengthened by it. 

13 For the king of the north shaU 
return, and shall set forth a multi- 
tude greater than the former, and 
shall certainly come 8 after certain 
years with a great army and with 
much riches. 

14 And in those times there shall 
many stand up against the king 
of the south: also 9 the robbers of

shall fall.

come, * and cast up a mount, and 
take 10 the most fenced cities; and

withstand, neither u his chosen

shall be at the time appointed. 

28 Then shall he return into his

heart shall be against the holy cov- 
enant; and he shall do exploits, 
and return to his own land. 

29 At the ^ time appointed he 
shall return, and come toward the 
south; but it shall not be as the 
former, or as the latter. 

30 For M the ships of Chittim 
shall come against him; therefore 
he shall be grieved, and return, 
and have indignation against the 
holy covenant: so shall he do; he 
shall even return, and have intelli- 
gence with them that forsake the 
holy covenant. 

31 And arms shall stand on his 
part, and they v shall pollute the 
sanctuary of strength, and shall 
take away the daily sacrifice, and

32 _ And such as do wickedly 
against the covenant shall he

33 And x they that understand

many; y yet they shall fall by the 
sword, and by flame, by captivity,

34 Now when they shall fall, they

but many shall cleave to them 
with flatteries. 

35 And sortie of them of under- 
standing shall fall, to try ^ them, 
and to purge, and to make them 
white, even to the time of the end: 
because it is yet for a time ap- 
pointed. 

36 And the king shall do accord- 
ing to his will; and he shall * exalt 
himself, and magnify himself above 
every god, and shall speak marvel- 
lous things against the God of 
gods, and shall prosper till the 
indignation be accomplished: for 
that that is determined shall be 
done. 

37 Neither shall he regard the

CHAPTER I. 



1 Hosea shows God's judgment for spiri- 
tual whoredom. 10 Restoration of Judah 
and Israel. 

THE a word of the Lord that 
came unto Hosea the son of 
Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, 
Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, 
kings of Judah, and in the days of 
Jeroboam the son of Joash, king 
of Israel. 

2 The beginning of the word of 
the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord 
said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee 
a wife of whoredoms and children 
of whoredoms: b for the land hath 
committed great whoredom,* de- 
parting from the Lord. 

3 So he went and took Gomer the 
daughter of Diblaim; which con- 
ceived, and bare him a son. 

4 And the Lord said unto him, 
Call his name Jezreel; for yet a 
little while, and I will * avenge the 
blood of Jezreel upon the house of 
Jehu, and will cause to cease the 
kingdom of the house of Israel. 

5 And it shall come to pass at 
that day, that I will break the 
bow of Israel in the valley of 
Jezreel.

unto him, Call her name 2 Lo-

mercy upon the house of Israel; 

4 but I will utterly take them away. 

7 But I will have mercy upon the

1 Idolatry of the people: 6 God's judg- 

ments against them. 

SAY ye unto your brethren, 
1 Ammi; and to your sisters, 

2 Kuharnah. 

2 Plead with your mother, plead; 
for a she is not my wife, neither am 
I her husband: let her therefore 
put away her 6 whoredoms out of 
her sight, and her adulteries from 
between her breasts; 

3 Lest c I strip her naked, and set 
her as in the day that she was 
born, and make her d as a wilder- 
ness, and set her like a dry land, 
and slay her with e thirst. 

4 And I will not have mercy 
upon her children; for they be the 
children of whoredoms. 

5 For their mother hath played 
the harlot; she that conceived them 
hath done shamefully; for she said, 
I will go after my lovers, / that 
give me my bread and my water, 
my wool and my flax, mine oil 
and my 3 drink. 

6 f Therefore, behold, 9 I w m 
hedge up thy way with thorns, 
arid 4 make a wall, that she shall 
not find her paths. 

7 And she shall follow after her 
lovers, but she shall not overtake 
them; and she shall seek them, but 
shall not find them: then shall she 
say, h I will go and return to my 
first *. husband; for then was it bet- 
ter with me than now. 

8 For she did not know that I 
gave her corn, and 5 wine, and oil, 
and multiplied her silver and gold, 
6 which they prepared for Baal 

9 Therefore will I return, and 
take away my corn in the time 
thereof, and my wine in the season 
thereof, and will 7 recover my wool 
and my flax given to cover her 
nakedness. 

10 And now will I discover her 
8 lewdness in the sight of her 
lovers, and none shall deliver her 
out of mine hand. 

11 li will also cause all her mirth 
to cease, her feast days, her new 
moons, and her sabbaths, and all 
her solemn feasts. 

12 And I will 9 destroy her vines 
and her fig trees, whereof she hath 
said, These are my rewards that 
my lovers have given me: and k I 
will make them a forest, and the 
beasts of the field shall eat them. 

13 And I will visit upon her l the 
days of Baalim, wherein she burned

14 f Therefore, behold, I will

15 And 1 will give her her vine-

when she came up out of the land

saith the Lord, that thou shalt call

more 12 Baali. 

17 For p I will take away the 
names of Baalim out of her mouth, 
and they shall no more be remem- 
bered by their name. 

18 And in that day will I make 
a s covenant for them with the 
beasts of the field, and with the 
fowls of heaven, and with the creep- 
ing things of the ground: and r I 
will break the bow and the sword 
and the battle out of the earth, 
and will make them to lie * down

19 And I will betroth thee unto 
me for ever; yea, I will betroth 
thee unto me in righteousness, and 
in judgment, and in loving-kind- 
ness, and in mercies: 

20 I will even betroth thee unto 
me in faithfulness; and ' thou shalt 
know the Lord.

that day, I u will hear, saith the 
Lord, I will hear the heavens, and 
they shall hear the earth; 

22 And the earth shall hear the 
corn, and the wine, and the oil; 
and they shall hear Jezreel. 

23 And " I will sow her unto me 
in the earth; and I will have mercy 
upon her that had not obtained

which were not my people, Thou art

THEN said the Lord unto me, 
Go yet, love a woman beloved 
of her friend, yet an adulteress, 
according to the love of the Lord 
toward the children of Israel, who 
look to other gods, and love flagons 
1 of wine. 

2 So I bought her to me for fifteen 
pieces of silver, and/or an homer of

barley, and an 2 half homer of 
barley. 

3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt 
abide a for me many days; thou 
shalt not play the harlot, and thou 
shalt not be for another man: so will 
I also be for thee. 

4 For the children of Israel shall 
abide many days without a king, 
and without a prince, and without 
a sacrifice, and without 3 an image, 
and without an b ephod, and with- 
out teraphim: 

5 Afterward shall the children of 
Israel return, and c seek the Lord 
their God, and David d their king; 
and shall fear the Lord and his 
goodness in the 6 latter days. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 God's judgments against the sins of the 
people, 6 and of the priests. 

HEAR the word of the Lord, ye 
children of Israel: for the Lord 
hath a a controversy with the in- 
habitants of the land, because there 
is no truth, nor mercy, nor know- 
ledge 6 of God in the land. 

2 By swearing, and lying, and 
killing, and stealing, and commit- 
ting adultery, they break out, and 

1 blood toucheth blood. 

3 Therefore "shall the land mourn, 
and every d one that dwelleth 
therein shall languish, with the 
be'asts of the field, and with the 
fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of 
the sea also shall be taken away. 

4 Yet let no man strive, nor 
reprove another: for thy people are 
as they 6 that strive with the 
priest. 

5 Therefore shalt thou fall / in the 
day, and the prophet also shall fall 
with thee in the night, and I will 

2 destroy thy mother. 

6 ^ My people are 3 destroyed for 
lack of knowledge: because thou 
hast rejected knowledge, I will also 
reject thee, that thou shalt be no 
priest to me: seeing thou hast for- 
gotten the law of thy God, I will 
also forget thy children. 

7 As they were increased, so they 
sinned against me: therefore will I 
change their glory into shame. 

8 They eat up the sin of my peo- 
ple, and they 4 set their heart on 
their iniquity. 

9 And there shall be, like people, 
like priest: and I will ° punish them 
for their ways, and 6 reward them 
their doings. 

10 For 9 they shall eat, and not 
have enough; they shall commit 
whoredom, and shall not increase;

because they have left off to take

11 Whoredom and wine and new 
wine take h away the heart. 

12 ^ My people ask counsel at 
their * stocks, and their staff de- 
clareth unto them: for *" the spirit 
of whoredoms hath caused them to 
err, and they have gone a whoring 
from under their God. 

13 They sacrifice upon the tops of 
the mountains, and burn incense 
upon the hills, under oaks and 
poplars and elms, because the sha- 
dow thereof is good: * therefore your 
daughters shall commit whoredom, 
and your spouses shall commit 
adultery. 

14 7 1 will not punish your daugh- 
ters when they commit whoredom, 
nor your spouses when they com- 
mit adultery; for themselves are 
separated with whores, and they 
sacrifice with harlots: therefore 
the people that doth not understand 
shall 8 falL 

15 ^ Though thou, Israel, play the 
harlot, yet let not Judah offend; 
and l come not ye unto Gilgal, 
neither go ye up to 9 Beth-aven, 
nor m swear, The Lord liveth. 

16 For Israel slideth back as a 
backsliding heifer: now the Lord 
will feed them as a lamb in a large 
place. 

17 Ephraim is joined to idols: 
let n him alone. 

18 Their drink 10 is sour: they 
have committed whoredom con- 
tinually: her n rulers with shame 
do love, Give ye.

in her wings, and they shall be 
ashamed because of their sacrifices. 

CHAPTER V. 

God's judgments against Israel. 

HEAR ye this, O priests; and 
hearken, ye house of Israel; 
and give ye ear, O house of the 
king; for judgment is toward you, 
because ye have been a snare on 
Mizpah, and a net spread upon 
Tabor. 

2 And the revolters are profound 
to make slaughter, x though I have 
been a rebuker of them all 

3 I a know Ephraim, and Israel 
is not hid from me: for now, O 
Ephraim, thou committest whore- 
dom, and Israel is defiled. 

4 2 They will not frame their do- 
ings to turn unto their God: for the 
spirit of whoredoms is in the midst 
of them, and they have not known 
the Lord.

Exhortation to repentance. 



5 And the pride of Israel doth 
testify to his face: therefore shall 
Israel and Ephraim fall in their 
iniquity; Judah also shall fall with 
them. 

6 They shall go with their flocks 
and with their herds to seek the 
Lord; but they shall not find him; 
he hath withdrawn himself from 
them. 

7 They have dealt treacherously 
against the Lord; for they have 
begotten strange children: now 
shall b a month devour them with 
their portions. 

8 % Blow ye the cornet inGibeah, 
and the trumpet in Raman: cry 
aloud at c Beth-aven, after thee, 
Benjamin. 

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in 
the day of rebuke : among the 
tribes of Israel have I made known 
that which shall surely be. 

10 The princes of Judah were like 
them that a remove the bound: 
therefore I will pour out my wrath 
upon them like water. 

11 Ephraim is oppressed and 
broken in judgment, because he 
willingly walked after e the com- 
mandment. 

12 Therefore will I he unto 
Ephraim as a moth, and to the 
house of Judah as a rottenness. 

13 When Ephraim saw his sick- 
ness, and Judah saw his wound, 
then went Ephraim to the As- 
syrian, and sent 4 to king Jareb: 
yet could he not heal you, nor 
cure you of your wound. 

14 For I will be unto Ephraim as 
a lion, and as a young lion to the 
house of Judah: I, even I, will tear 
and go away; I will take away, 
and none shall rescue him. 

15 I will go and return to my 
place, 6 till they acknowledge their 
offence, and seek my face: in their 
affliction they will seek me early.

sleepeth all the night; in the 
morning it burneth as a flaming

7 They are all hot as an oven;

and have devoured their judges;

8 1f Ephraim, he' hath mixed him-

9 Strangers have devoured his 
strength, and he knoweth it not; 
yea, grey hairs are 8 here and

not. 

10 And the pride of Israel testi- 
fieth to his face : and they do not 
return to the Lord their God, nor 
seek him for all this. 

11 Ephraim also is like a silly 
dove without heart: they call to 
Egypt, they go to Assyria. 

12 When they shall go, I will 
spread my net upon them; I will 
bring them down as the fowls of 
the heaven ; I will chastise them, 
as 9 their congregation hath heard. 

13 Woe unto them! for they have 
fled from me; 9 destruction unto 
them! because they have trans- 
gressed against me: though I have 
redeemed them, yet they have 
spoken lies against me. 

14 And they have not A cried 
unto me with their heart, when 
they howled upon their beds; they 
assemble themselves for corn and 
wine, and they rebel against me. 

15 Though I 10 have bound and 
strengthened their arms, yet do 
they imagine mischief against 
me. 

16 They return, but not to the 
Most High: they are like a deceit-

tongue. This shall be their derision

silver and their gold have they 
made them idols, that they may

cast thee off; mine anger is kindled

ere they attain to innocency? 

6 For from Israel was it also: the 
workman made it; therefore it is 
not God : but the calf of Samaria 
shall be broken in pieces. 

7 For they have sown the wind, 
and they shall reap the whirlwind: 
it hath no 2 stalk; the bud shall 
yield no meal: if so be it yield, the 
strangers shall swallow it up. 

8 Israelis swallowed up: now shall 
they be among the Gentiles as a 
vessel wherein is no pleasure. 

9 For 6 they are gone up to As- 
syria, a wild ass alone by himself: 
Ephraim hath hired 3 lovers. 

10 Yea, though they have hired 
among the nations, now will I 
gather them, and they shall 4 sor- 
row 6 a little for the burden /of the 
king of princes. 

11 Because Ephraim hath made 
many altars to sin, altars shall be 
unto him to sin. 

12 I have written to him s the 
great things of my law, but they 
were counted as A a strange 
thing. 

13 6 They sacrifice flesh for the 
sacrifices of mine offerings, and 
eat it; but the Lord accepteth 
them not: now will he remember 
their iniquity, and visit their sins: 
they shall return to Egypt. 

14 For Israel hath forgotten his 
Maker, and » buildeth temples; 
and Judah hath multiplied fenced 
cities: but I will send a fire upon 
his cities, and it shall devour the 
palaces thereof. 

CHAPTER IX. 

Distress and captivity of Israel for their 
sins. 

REJOICE not, O Israel, for joy, 
as other people: for thou hast 
gone a whoring from thy God, 
thou hast loved a reward * upon 
every cornfloor. 

2 The floor and the 2 winepress 
shall not feed them, and the new 
wine shall fail in her. 

3 They shall not dwell in a the 
Lord's land; £ but Ephraim shall 
return to Egypt, and c they shall 
eat unclean things in Assyria. 

4 They shall not offer wine offer- 
ings to the Lord, neither shall they 
be pleasing unto him : their sacri- 
fices shall be unto them as d the 
bread of mourners; all that eat 
thereof shall be polluted: for their 

3H

for idolatry. 



bread for their soul shall not come 
into the house of the Lord. 

5 What will ye do in the solemn 
day, and in the day of the feast of 
the Lord? 

6 For, lo, they are gone because 
of 3 destruction: Egypt shall gather 
them up, Memphis shall bury 
them: 4 the pleasant places for their 
silver, nettles shall possess them: 
thorns shall be in their taber- 
nacles. 

7 The days of visitation are come, 
the days of recompence are come; 
Israel shall know it: the prophet 
is a fool, the 5 spiritual man is mad, 
for the multitude of thine iniquity, 
and the great hatred. 

8 The watchman of Ephraim was 
with my God: but the prophet is a 
snare of a fowler in all his ways, 
and hatred 6 in the house of his God. 

9 They have deeply corrupted 
themselves, as in the days of 6 Gibeah: 
therefore he will remember their 
iniquity, he will visit their sins. 

10 I found Israel /like grapes in 
the wilderness; I saw your fathers 
as the first-ripe in the fig tree at 
her first time: but they 9 went to 
Baal-peor, and separated them- 
selves unto that shame; and their 
abominations were according as 
they loved. 

11 As for Ephraim, their glory 
shall fly away like a bird, from the 
birth, and from the womb, and 
from the conception. 

12 Though they bring up their 
children, yet will I bereave them, 
that there shall not be a man left: 
yea, woe also to them when I 
depart 7 * from them! 

13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is 
planted in a pleasant place: but 
Ephraim shall bring forth his 
children to the murderer. 

14 Give *them, O Lord: what 
wilt thou give? give them a 7 mis- 
carrying womb and dry breasts. 

15 All their wickedness is in 
Gilgal; for there I hated them: for 
the wickedness of their doings I 
will drive them out of mine house, 
I will love them no more: all their 
princes are revolters. 

16 Ephraim is smitten, their root 
is dried up, they shall bear no 
fruit; yea, though they bring forth, 
yet will I slay even 8 the beloved 
fruit of their womb. 

17 My God will >" cast them away, 
because they did not hearken 
unto him: and they shall be wan- 
derers among the nations.

CHAPTER X. 

Israel reproved and threatened for 

idolatry. 

ISRAEL is 1 an empty vine, he 
bringeth forth fruit unto him- 
self: according to the multitude of 
his fruit he hath increased the 
altars; according to the goodness 
of his land they have made goodly 
2 images. 

2 3 Their heart is divided ; now 
shall they be found faulty: he 
shall 4 break down their altars, he 
shall spoil their images. 

3 For now they shall say, We 
have no king, because we feared 
not the Lord; what then should a 
king do to us? 

4 They have spoken words, swear- 
ing falsely in making a covenant: 
thus judgment springe th up as 
hemlock in the furrows of the field. 

5 The inhabitants of Samaria 
shall fear because of a the calves of 
Beth-aven: for the people thereof 
shall mourn over it, and 6 the 
priests thereof that rejoiced on it, 
for the glory thereof, because it is 
departed from it. 

6 It shall be also carried unto 
Assyria for a present to h king 
Jareb : Ephraim shall receive 
shame, and Israel shall be ashamed 
of his own counsel. 

7 As for Samaria, her king is cut 
off as the foam upon 6 the water. 

8 The high places also of Aven, 
the c sin of Israel, shall be de- 
stroyed: the thorn and the thistle 
shall come up on their altars; and 
they d shall say to the mountains, 
Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on 
us. 

9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from 
the days of Gibeah : there they 
stood: the battle in Gibeah against 
the children of iniquity did not 
overtake them. 

10 It is in c my desire that I should 
chastise them; and the people 
shall be gathered against them, 

7 when they shall bind themselves 
in their two furrows. 

11 And Ephraim is as an heifer 
that is taught, and loveth to tread 
out the corn; but 1 passed over upon 

8 her fair neck: I will make 
Ephraim to ride; Judah shall 
plow, and Jacob shall break his 
clods. 

12 Sow / to yourselves in right- 
eousness, reap in mercy; break up 
your fallow ground: for it is time 
to seek the Lord, till he come and 
rain righteousness upon you.

J 3 I d taught Ephraim also to go,

1 them. 

| 4 I drew them with cords of a 
■ man, with bands of love: and I

5 ^| He shall not return into the

shall be his king, because g they 
refused to return. 

6 And the sword shall abide on 
I his cities, and shall consume his 
j branches, and devour them, because 
i of their own counsels. 
! 7 And my people are bent to 
l backsliding from me: though they 

called them to the Most High, 

2 none at all would exalt him. 
i 8 How h shall I give thee up, 
; Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, 
! Israel? how shall I make thee * as 

Admah ? how shall I set thee as 
Zeboim? * Mine heart is turned 
within me, my repentings are 
kindled together. 

9 I will not execute the fierceness 
of mine anger, I will not return to 
destroy Ephraim: * for I am God, 
and not man; the Holy One in the 
midst of thee: and 1 will not enter 
into the city. 

10 They shall walk after the Lord: 
he shall roar like a lion: when he 
shall roar, then the children shall 
tremble from the west. 

11 They shall tremble as a bird 
cut of Egypt, and as a dove out of s w ith 
the land of Assyria: and I will j bitternesses.

with God, and is faithful 3 with the

CHAPTER XH. 

Ephraim and Judah reproved. 

EPHRAIM feedeth on wind, and 
folio we th after the east wind: 
he daily increaseth lies and desola- 
tion; a and they do make a cove- 
nant with the Assyrians, and oil 
is 6 carried into Egypt. 

2 The Lord hath also a con- 
troversy with Judah, and will 
1 punish Jacob according to his 
ways; according to his doings will 
he recompense him. 

3 *[ He took his brother by the 
heel in the womb, and by his 
strength he 2 had power with God: 

4 Yea, he had power over the 
angel, and prevailed: he wept, and 
made supplication unto him: he 
found him in c Beth-el, and there he 
spake with us; 

5 Even the Lord God of hosts; 
the Lord is his memorial. 

6 Therefore turn thou to thy God; 
keep mercy and judgment, and 
wait on thy God continually. 

7 •[ Ee is 3 a merchant, the j 
balances of deceit are in his hand: 
he loveth to 4 oppress, 

8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am 
become rich, I have found me out 
substance: ° in all my labours they 
shall find none iniquity in me 
6 that were sin. 

9 And L, that am the Lord thy 
God from the land of Egypt, will 
yet make thee to dwell in taber- 
nacles, as in the days of the solemn 
feasts. 

10 I have also spoken by the 
prophets, and I have multiplied '■ 
visions, and used similitudes, 7 by j 
the ministry of the prophets. 

11 is there iniquity in Gilead? j 
surely they are vanity: they sacri- 
fice bullocks in d Gilgal; yea, their 
altars are as heaps in the furrows 
of the fields. 

12 And Jacob fled into the 
country of Syria; and Israel served ; 
for a wife, and for a wife he kept | 
sheep. 

13 And by a prophet the Lord 
brought Israel out of Egypt, and 
by a prophet was he preserved.

anger 6 most bitterly : therefore

shall he leave his 9 blood upon him, 
and his e reproach shall his Lord

CHAPTER XIII. 

God's anger for Ephraim's impiety. 

WHEN Ephraim spake a trem- 
bling, he exalted himself in 
Israel; but b when he offended in 
Baal, he died. 

2 And now 1 they sin more and 
more, and have made them molten 
images of their silver, and idols 
according to their own under- 
standing, all of it the work of the 
craftsmen: they say of them, Let 
2 the men that sacrifice kiss the 
calves. 

3 Therefore they shall be as the 
morning cloud, and as the early 
dew that passeth away, as the 
chaff that is driven with the whirl- 
wind out of the floor, and as the 
smoke out of the chimney. 

4 Yet I am the Lord thy God 
from the land of Egypt, and thou 
shalt know no god but me; for 
there is no saviour besides me. 

5 I did know thee in the wilder- 
ness, in the land of 3 great drought. 

6 According to their pasture, so 
were they filled; they were filled, 
and their heart was exalted; there- 
fore have they forgotten me. 

7 Therefore I will be unto them 
as a lion; as a leopard by the way 
will I observe them: 

8 I will meet them as a bear that 
is bereaved of her whelps, and will 
rend the caul of their heart, and 
there will I devour them like a 
lion: 4 the wild beast shall tear 
them. 

9 ^ Israel, thou hast destroyed 
thyself; but in me 3 is thine help. 

10 6 1 will be thy king: where is 
any other that may save thee in all 
thy cities? and thy judges of whom 
thou saidst, Give me a king and 
princes? 

11 1 c gave thee a king in mine 
anger, and took him away in my 
wrath. 

12 The d iniquity of Ephraim is 
bound up; his sin is hid. 

13 The sorrows of a travailing 
woman shall come upon him: he 
25 an unwise son; for he should not 
stay 7 long in the place of the break- 
ing forth of children.

away all iniquity, and x receive us

calves c of our lips. 

3 Asshur shall not save us; we 
will not ride upon horses; neither 
will we say any more to the work of 
our hands, Ye are our gods: for in 
thee the fatherless findeth mercy. 

4 If I will heal their backsliding, 
I will love them freely: for mine 
anger is turned away from him. 

5 I will be as the dew unto Is-

to do any more with idols? d I have

JOEL. 



CHAPTER I. 

Joel, deolaring sundry judgments of God, 
exhorts to observe them. 

THE a word of the Lord that 
came to Joel the son of Pethuel . 

2 Hear this, ye old men, and give 
ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. 
Hath b this been in your days, or 
even in the days of your fathers? 

3 Tell c ye your children of it, and 
let your children tell their children, 
and their children another genera- 
tion. 

4 x That which the palmer- worm 
hath left hath the locust eaten; 
and that which the locust hath 
left hath the canker-worm eaten; 
and that which the canker-worm 
hath left hath the caterpillar eaten. 

5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; 
and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, 
because of the new wine; d for it is 
cut off from your mouth. 

6 For e a nation is come up upon 
my land, strong, and without num- 
ber, /whose teeth are the teeth of a 
lion, and he hath the cheek teeth 
of a great lion. 

7 He hath 9 laid my vine waste, 
and 2 barked my fig tree: he hath 
made it clean bare, and cast it 
away ; the branches thereof are 
made white. 

3 % Lament ft like a virgin girded 
with sackcloth for * the husband 
of her youth. 

9 The i meat offering and the 
drink offering is cut off from the 
house of the Lord; the priests, the 
Lord's ministers, mourn. 

10 The field is wasted, k the land 
mourneth; for the corn is wasted: 
the l new wine is 3 dried up, the 
oil languisheth. 

11 Be m ye ashamed, ye hus- 
bandmen; howl, ye vine-dressers, 
for the wheat and for the barley; 
because the harvest of the field is 
perished. 

12 The vine is dried up, and the 
fig tree languisheth; the pome- 
granate tree, the palm tree also, 
and the apple tree, even all the 
trees of the field, are withered: be- 
cause joy n is withered away from 
the sons of men. 

13 \ Gird ° yourselves, and lament, 
ye priests; howl, ye ministers of the 
altar; come, lie all night in sack- 
cloth, ye ministers of my God: for 
the meat offering and the drink 
offering is withholden from the 
house of your God.

land into the house of the Lord

15 Alas r for the dayl for the day

16 Is not the meat cut off before

from the house of our God? 

17 The 6 seed is rotten under their 
clods, the garners are laid desolate, 
the barns are broken down; for the 
corn is withered. 

18 How do ( the beasts groan! the 
herds of cattle are perplexed, be- 
cause they have no pasture; yea, 
the flocks of sheep are made deso- 
late. 

19 O Lord, to thee will I cry: for 
the fire hath devoured the 6 pas- 
tures of the wilderness, and the 
flame hath burnt all the trees of 
the field. 

20 The beasts of the field u cry 
also unto thee: for " the rivers of 
waters are dried up, and the fire 
hath devoured the pastures of the 
wilderness. 

CHAPTER LL 

1 Terribleness of God's judgments : 12 

Joel exhorts to repentance. 

BLOW ye the x trumpet in Zion, 
and sound a an alarm in my 
holy mountain: let all the inhabit- 
ants of tb& land tremble: for 6 the 
day of the Lord cometh, for it is 
nigh at hand; 

2 A c day of darkness and of 
gloominess, a day of clouds and of 
thick darkness, as the morning 
spread upon the mountains: d a 
great people and a strong; e there 
hath not been ever the like, neither 
shall be any more after it, even to 
the years 2 of many generations. 

3 A fire devoureth before them, 
and behind them a flame burneth: 
the land is as the garden of Eden 
before them, / and behind them a 
desolate wilderness; yea, and no- 
thing shall escape them. 

4 The appearance of them is as 
the appearance of horses; and as 
horsemen, so shall they run. 

5 Like the noise of chariots on the 
tops of mountains shall they leap, 
like the noise of a flame of fire that 
devoureth the stubble, as a strong 
people set in battle array. 

6 Before their face the people

shall be much pained; 9 all faces 
shall gather 3 blackness. 

7 They shall run like mighty 
men; they shall climb the wall 
like men of war; and they shall 
march every one on his ways, and 
they shall not break their ranks: 

8 Neither shall one thrust another; 
they shall walk every one in his 
path: and when they fall upon the 
4 sword, they shall not be wounded. 

9 They shall run to and fro in the 
city; they shall run upon the wall; 
they shall climb up upon the 
houses; they shall enter in at the 
windows like a thief. 

10 The earth shall quake before 
them; the heavens shall tremble: 
the sun and the moon shall be 
dark, and the stars shall withdraw 
their shining: 

11 And the Lord shall utter his 
voice before his army; for his camp 
is very great: for h he is strong that 
executeth his word: for the day of 
the Loed is great and very terrible; 
and * who can abide it? 

12 J Therefore alao now, saith the 
Lord, Turn f ye even to me with all 
your heart, and with fasting, and 
with weeping, and with mourning; 

13 And k rend your heart, and 
not your garments, and turn unto 
the Lord your God: for he l is 
gracious and merciful, slow to an- 
ger, and of great kindness, and 
repenteth him of the evil. 

14 Who m knoweth if he will 
return and repent, and leave n a 
blessing behind him, even a meat 
offering and a drink offering unto 
the Lord your God? 

15 ^f Blow the trumpet in Zion, 
sanctify a fast, call a solemn assem- 
bly; 

16 Gather the people, ° sanctify 
the congregation, assemble the 
elders, p gather the children, and 
those that suck the breasts; let 
the q bridegroom go forth of his 
chamber, and the bride out of her 
closet: 

17 Let the priests, the ministers 
of the Lord, weep r between the 
porch and the altar, and let them 
say, * Spare thy people, O Lord, 
and give not thine heritage to 
reproach, that the heathen should 
6 rule over them: wherefore should 
they say among the people, Where 
is their God? 

18 ^ Then will the Lord * be 
jealous for his land, M and pity his 
people.

1 God's judgments against the enemies of 
Ms people: 18 his blessing on the church. 

FOR, behold, in those days, and 
in that time, when I shall 
bring again the captivity of Judah 
and Jerusalem, 

21° will also gather all nations, 
and will bring them down into 
the b valley of Jehoshaphat, and 
will ° plead with them there for 
my people and for my heritage 
Israel, whom they have scattered 
among the nations, and parted my 
land. 

3 And they have d cast lots for 
my people; and have given a boy 
for an harlot, and sold a girl for 
wine, that they might drink. 

4 Yea, and what have ye to do 
with me, e Tyre, and Zidon, and 
all the coasts of Palestine? / will ye 
render me a recompence? and if 
ye recompense me, swiftly 9 and 
speedily will I return your recom- 
pence upon your own head; 

5 Because ye have taken my 
silver and my gold, and have 
carried into your temples my 
goodly l pleasant things: 

6 The children also of Judah and 
the children of Jerusalem have ye 
sold unto 2 the Grecians, that ye 
might remove them far from their 
border. 

7 Behold, I will raise them out of 
the place whither ye have sold 
them, and will return your recom- 
pence upon your own head: 

8 And I will sell your sons and 
your daughters into the handof the 
children of Judah, and they shall 
sell them to h the Sabeans, to a 
people far off: for the Lord hath 
spoken it. 

9 f Proclaim ye this among the 
Gentiles; 3 Prepare war, wake up

of war draw near; let them come

19 Egypt shall be a desolation,

CHAPTER I. 
8 God's judgments upon Syria, 6 the 
Philistines, '9 Tyrus, 11 Edom, 13 and 
Ammon. 

THE words of Amos, who was 
among the a herdmen of Tekoa, 
which he saw concerning Israel 
in 6 the days of Uzziah king of 
Judah, and in the days of Jero- 
boam the son of Joash king of 
Israel, two years before the c earth- 
quake. 

2 And he said, The Lord will 
roar from Zion, and utter his voice 
from Jerusalem; and the habi- 
tations of the shepherds shall 
mourn, and the top of Carmel shall 
wither. 

3 ^ Thus saith the Lord; For 
three transgressions of d Damascus, 
1 and for four, I will not 2 turn 
away the punishment thereof ; e be- 
cause they have threshed Gilead 
with threshing instruments of iron: 

4 But I will send a fire into the 
house of HazaeL which shall de- 
vour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 

5 I will break also the bar of 
Damascus, and cut off the inhabi- 
tant from 3 the plain of Aven, and 
him that holdeth the sceptre from 

4 the house of Eden : and / the 
people of Syria shall go into cap- 
tivity unto Kir, saith the Lord. 

6 % Thus saith the Lord; For 
three transgressions of g Gaza, and 
for four, I will not turn away the 
punishment thereof; because they 

5 carried away captive the whole 
captivity, to deliver them up to 
Edom: 

7 But I will send a fire on the 
wall h of Gaza, which shall devour 
the palaces thereof : 

8 And I will cut off the inhabi- 
tant from Ashdod, and him that 
holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, 
and I will turn mine hand against 
Ekron: and the remnant of the 
Philistines shall perish, saith the 
Lord God. 

9 If Thus saith the Lord ; For 
three transgressions of Tyrus, and 
for four, I will not turn away the 
punishment thereof; because they 
delivered up the whole captivity 
to Edom, and remembered not 

6 the brotherly covenant: 

10 But I will send a fire on the 
wall of Tyrus, which shall devour 
the palaces thereof.

4 ^ Thus saith the Lord ; For

punishment thereof; 'because they 
have despised the law of the Lord, 
and have not kept his command-

7 That pant after the dust of the

and * a man and his father will go

my l holy name: 

8 And they lay themselves down 
upon clothes m laid to pledge " by 
every altar, and they drink the 
wine of 2 the condemned in the 
house of their god. 

9 *f Yet destroyed I the ° Amorite 
before them, whose height was like 
the height of the cedars, and he 
was strong as the oaks; yet I de- 
stroyed his fruit from above, and 
his roots from beneath. 

10 Also I brought you up from 
the land of Egypt, and led you 
forty years through the wilderness, 
to possess the land of the Amorite. 

11 And I raised up of your sons 
for prophets, and of your young 
men for p Nazarites. Is it not even 
thus, ye children of Israel? saith 
the Lord. 

12 But ye gave the Nazarites 
wine to drink; and commanded 
the prophets, 9 saying, Prophesy not. 

13 Behold, 3 I am pressed under 
you, as a cart is pressed that is full 
of sheaves. 

14 Therefore the flight shall 
perish from the swift, and the 
strong shall not strengthen his 
force, neither shall the mighty 
deliver 4 himself: 

15 Neither shall he stand that 
handleth the bow; and he that is 
swift of foot shall not deliver him- 
self: neither shall he that rideth 
the horse deliver himself. 

16 And he that is 5 courageous 
among the mighty shall flee away 
naked in that day, saith the Lord. 

CHAPTER III. 
Necessity of God's judgments against 
Israel- 

HEAR this word that the Lord 
hath spoken against you, 
children of Israel, against the 
whole family which I brought up 
from the land of Egypt, saying, 

2 You only have 1 known of all 
the families of the earth: a there- 
fore I will l punish you for all your 
iniquities.

Ashdod, and in the palaces in the 
land of Egypt, and say, Assemble 
yourselves upon the mountains of 
Samaria, and behold the great 
tumults in the midst thereof, and 
the Oppressed in the midst thereof. 

10 For they know not to do right, 
saith the Lord, who store up vio- 
lence and 6 robbery in their 
palaces. 

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; An 6 adversary there shall be 
even round about the land; and 
he shall bring down thy strength 
from thee, and thy palaces shall 
be spoiled. 

12 Thus saith the Lord; As the 
shepherd 7 taketh out of the mouth 
of the lion two legs, or a piece of 
an ear; so shall the children of 
Israel be taken out that dwell in 
Samaria in the corner of a bed, 
and 8 in Damascus in a couch. 

13 Hear ye, and testify in the 
house of Jacob, saith the Lord 
God, the God of hosts, 

14 That in the day that I shall 
9 visit the transgressions of Israel 
upon him I will also visit the 
altars of Beth- el; and the horns of 
the altar shall be cut off, and fall 
to the ground. 

15 And I will smite the winter 
house with the summer house; 
and the houses of ivory shall perish, 
and the great houses shall have an 
end, saith the Lord. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Israel reproved for oppression. 4 for 
idolatry, 6 and for their incorrigible- 
ness. 

HEAR this word, ye kine ©1 
Bashan, that are in the moun- 
tain of Samaria, which oppress 
the poor, which crush the needy, 
which say to their masters, Bring, 
and let us drink.

his holiness, that, lo, the days

shall come upon you, that he will 
take you away with hooks, and 
your posterity with fish-hooks. 

3 And ye shall go out at the 
breaches, every cow at that which is 
before her ; and \ ye shall cast 
them into the palace, saith the 

LORD. 

4 t Come a to Beth-el, and trans- 
gress; at Gilgal h multiply transgres- 
sion ; and c bring your sacrifices 
every morning, and your tithes 
after 2 three years: 

5 And 3 offer a sacrifice of thanks- 
giving with leaven, and proclaim 
and publish the d free offerings; for 
4 this liketh you, ye children of 
Israel, saith the Lord God. 

6 % And I also have given e you 
cleanness of teeth in all your cities, 
and want of bread in all your 
places: f yet have ye not returned 
unto me, saith the Lord. 

7 And also I have withholden the 
rain from you, when there were yet 
three months to the harvest: and 
I caused it to rain upon one city, 
and caused it not to rain upon an- 
other city: one piece was rained 
upon, and the piece whereupon it 
rained not withered. 

8 So two or three cities wandered 
unto one city, to drink water; but 
they were not satisfied: yet have ye 
not returned unto me, saith the 
Lord. 

9 1^ have smitten you with blast- 
ing and mildew: 6 when your gar- 
dens and your vineyards and your 
fig trees and your olive trees in- 
creased, the palmer-worm de- 
voured them: yet have ye not 
returned unto me, saith the Lord. 

10 I have sent among you the 
pestilence 6 after the manner of 
Egypt: your young men have I 
slain with the sword, 7 and have 
taken away your horses; and I 
have made the stink of your camps 
to come up unto your nostrils: yet 
have ye not returned unto me, 
saith the Lord. 

11 1 have overthrown some of you, 
as God overthrew h Sodom and 
Gomorrah, * and ye were as a fire- 
brand plucked out of the burning: 
yet have ye not returned unto me, 
saith the Lord. 

12 Therefore thus will I do unto 
thee, O Israel: and because I will 
do this unto thee, »" prepare to 
meet thy God, Israel.

CHAPTER V. 

1 Lamentation for Israel. 4 Exhortation 

to repentance. 

HEAR ye this word which a I 
take up against you, even a 
lamentation, house of Israel. 

2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; 
she shall no more rise: she is for- 
saken upon her land; there is none 
to raise her up. 

3 For thus saith the Lord God; 
The city that went out by a thou- 
sand shall leave an hundred, and 
that which went forth by an hun- 
dred shall leave ten, to the house 
of Israel 

4 ^ For thus saith the Lord unto 
the house of Israel, b Seek ye me, 
and c ye shall five: 

5 But seek not d Beth-el, nor enter 
into Gilgal, and pass not to e Beer- 
sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go 
into captivity, and Beth-el shall 
come to nought. 

6 Seek the Lord, and ye shall 
live; lest he break out like fire in 
the house of Joseph, and devour 
it, and there be none to quench it in 
Beth-el. 

7 Ye who turn judgment to worm- 
wood, and leave off righteousness 
in the earth, 

8 Seek him that maketh the / seven 
stars and Orion, and turneth the 
shadow of death into the morning, 
and maketh the day dark with 
night: that 9 calleth for the waters 
of the sea, and poureth them out 
upon the face of the earth; h The 
Lord is his name: 

9 That strengthened the J spoiled 
against the strong, so that the 
spoiled shall come against the for- 

10 They *hate him that rebuketh 
in the gate, and they 4 abhor him 
that speaketh uprightly. 

11 Forasmuch .therefore as your 
treading is upon the poor, and ye 
take from him burdens of wheat: 
ye * have built houses of hewn 
stone, but ye shall not dwell in 
them; ye have planted 2 pleasant 
vineyards, but ye shall not drink 
wine of them. 

12 For I know your manifold 
transgressions and your mighty 
sins: they afflict the just, they take 
3 a bribe, and they ' turn aside the 
poor in the gate Jrom their right, 



Exhortation to repentance. 



AMOS, VL Wantonness of Israel threatened. 



13 Therefore the prudent shall 
keep silence in that time; for it is 
an evil time. 

14 Seek '"good, and notevil, that 
ye may live; and so the Lord, the 
God of hosts, shall be with you, 
as n ye have spoken. 

15 Hate ° the evil, and love the 
good, and establish judgment in 

| the gate: p it may be that the Lord 
I God of hosts will be gracious unto 
the remnant of Joseph. 

16 Therefore the Lord, the God 
of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; 
Wailing shall be in all streets; and 
they shall say in all the highways, 
Alas! alas! and they shall call the 
husbandman to mourning, 2 and 
such as are skilful of lamentation 
to wailing. 

17 And in all vineyards shall be 
wailing: for r I will pass through 
thee, saith the Lord. 

18 Woe "unto you that desire the 
day of the Lord! to what end is it 
for you? the day of the Lord is 
darkness, and not light. 

19 As if a man did flee from a 
lion, and a bear met him; or went 
into the house, and leaned his hand 
on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 

20 Shall not the day of the Lord 
be darkness, and not light? even 
very dark, and no brightness in it? 

21 ^ I ' hate, I despise your feast 
days, and I will not 4 smell in your 
solemn assemblies. 

22 Though ye offer me burnt 
offerings and your meat offerings 
I will not accept them; neither will 
I regard the 6 peace offerings of 
your fat beasts. 

23 Take thou away from me the 
noise of thy songs; for I will not 
hear the melody of thy viols. 

24 But let judgment 6 run down 
as waters, and righteousness as a 
mighty stream. 

25 Have u ye offered unto me sac- 
rifices and offerings in the wilder- 
ness forty years, O house of Israel? 

26 But ye have borne 7 the taber- 
nacle of your Moloch and Chiun 
your images, the star of your god, 
which ye made to yourselves: 

27 Therefore will I cause you to 
go into captivity beyond Damas- 
cus, saith the Lord, whose name is 
The God of hosts.

2 Pass ye unto a Calneh, and see;

anoint themselves with the chief 
ointments : but they are not 
grieved forthe 7 affliction of Joseph. 

7 % Therefore now shall they go 
captive with the first that go cap- 
tive, and the banquet of them 
that stretched themselves shall be 
removed. 

8 The Lord God hath sworn by 
himself, saith the Lord the God of 
hosts, I abhor the excellency of 
Jacob, and hate his palaces: there- 
fore will I deliver up the city, with 
all 8 that is therein. 

9 And it shall come to pass, if 
there remain ten men in one 
house, that they shall die. 

10 And a man's uncle shall take 
him up, and he that burneth him, 
to bring out the bones out of the 
house, and shall say unto him that 
is by the sides of the house, Is there 
yet any with thee? And he shall 
say, No. Then shall he say, Hold 
thy tongue; for 9 we may not make 
mention of the name of the Lord. 

11 For, behold, the Lord com- 
mandeth, and he will smite the 
great house with 10 breaches, and 
the little house with clefts. 

12 % Shall horses run upon the 
rock? will one plow there with oxen? 
for ye have turned judgment into 
gall, and the fruit of righteousness 
into hemlock: 

13 Ye which rejoice in a thing 
of nought, which say, Have we 
not taken to us horns by our own 
strength? 

14 But, behold, I will raise up 
against you a nation, O house of 
Israel, saith the Lord the God of 
hosts; and they shall afflict you 
from d the entering in of Hamath 
unto the n river of the wilderness,

5 judgment of the grasshoppers, 4 
of the ' 



I The 

and of the fire, are diverted by the 
prayer of Amos. 10 Amaziah com- 
plains of Amos. 

THUS hath the Lord God 
showed unto me; and, behold, 
he formed * grasshoppers in the 
beginning of the shooting up of the 
latter growth; and, lo, it was the 
latter growth after the king's 
mowings. 

2 And it came to pass, that when 
they had made an end of eating 
the grass of the land, then I said, 

Lord God, forgive, 1 beseech 
thee: 2 by whom shall Jacob arise? 
for he is small. 

3 The a Lord repented for this: 
It shall not be, saith the Lord. 

4 f Thus hath the Lord God 
showed unto me; and, behold, the 
Lord God called to contend by 
fire, and it devoured the great 
deep, and did eat up a part. 

5 Then said I, Lord God, cease, 

1 beseech thee : by whom shall 
Jacob arise? for he is small. 

6 The Lord b repented for this: 
This also shall not be, saith the 
Lord God. 

7 % Thus he showed me; and, 
behold, the Lord stood upon a 
Wall made by a plumb-line, with a 
plumb-line in his hand. 

8 And the Lord said unto me, 
Amos, what seest thou? And 1 
said, A plumb-line. Then said 
the Lord, Behold, c I will set a 
plumb-line in the midst of my 
people Israel: d I will not again 
pass by them any more: 

9 And e the high places of Isaac 
shall be desolate, and the sanc- 
tuaries of Israel shall be laid 
waste; and /I will rise against the 
house of Jeroboam with the sword. 

10 % Then Amaziah 9 the priest 
of Beth-el sent to h Jeroboam king 
of Israel, saying, Amos hath con- 
spired against thee in the midst of 
the house of Israel: the land is not 
able to bear all his words. 

11 For thus Amos saith, Jero- 
boam shall die by the sword, and 
Israel shall surely be led away 
captive out of their own land. 

12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, 
thou seer, go, flee thee away 
into the land of Judah, and there 
eat bread, and prophesy there: 

13 But * prophesy not again any 
more at Beth-el: i for it is the 
king's 3 chapel, and it is the 
* king's court.

14 ^ Then answered Amos, and 
said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, 
neither was I a k prophet's son; 
but l I was an herdman, and a 
gatherer of 5 sycamore fruit: 

15 And the Lord took me 6 as I 
followed the flock, and the Lord 
said unto me, Go, prophesy unto 
my people Israel. 

16 Now therefore hear thou the 
word of the Lord: Thou say est, 
Prophesy not against Israel, and 
drop m not thy word against the 
house of Isaac. 

17 Therefore n thus saith the 
Lord; ° Thy wife shall be an harlot 
in the city, and thy sons and thy 
daughters shall fall by the sword, 
and thy land shall be divided by 
line; and thou shalt die in a pol- 
luted land: and Israel shall surely 
go into captivity forth of his 
land.

rPHUS hath the Lord God showed 
-L unto me: and behold a basket 
of summer fruit. 

2 And he said, Amos, what seest 
thou? And I said, A basket of 
summer fruit. Then said the 
Lord unto me, a The end is come 
upon my people of Israel; 1 will 
not again pass by them any more. 

3 And the songs of the temple 
1 shall be howlings in that day, 
saith the Lord God: there shall be 
many dead bodies in every place; 
they shall cast them forth 2 with 
silence. 

4 H Hear this, O ye that swallow 
up the needy, even to make the 
poor of the land to fail, 

5 Saying, When will the 3 new 
moon be gone, that we may sell 
corn? and b the sabbath, that we 
may 4 set forth wheat, making the 
ephah ° small, and the shekel 
great, and 5 falsifying the balances 
by deceit? 

6 That we may buy the poor for 
silver, and the needy for a pair of 
shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the 
wheat? 

7 The Lord hath sworn by d the 
excellency of Jacob, Surely 6 1 will 
never forget any of their works. 

8 Shall f not the land tremble for 
this, and every one mourn that 
dwelleth therein? and it shall rise 
up wholly as a flood; and it shall 
be cast out and drowned, 9 as by 
the flood of Egypt. 

9 And it shall come to pass in

that day, saith the Lord God, 
that h I will cause the sun to go 
down at noon, and I will darken 
the earth in the clear day: 

10 And I will turn your feasts into 
mourning, and all your songs into 
lamentation; and I will bring up 
sackcloth upon all loins, and bald- 
ness upon every head; * and I will 
make it as the mourning of an only 
son, and the end thereof as a bitter 
day. 

11 % Behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord Gob, that I will send a 
famine in the land, not a famine 
of bread, nor a thirst for water, but 
of i hearing the words of the 
Lord: 

12 And they shall wander from 
sea to sea, and from the north 
even to the east, they shall run to 
and fro to seek the word of the 
Lord, and shall not find it. 

13 In that day shall the fair vir- 
gins and young men faint for 
thirst. 

14 They that swear * by the sin 
of Samaria, and say, Thy God, 
Dan, liveth; and, The 6 manner of 
Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall 
fall, and never rise up again.

1 Certainty of Israel's desolation. 11 
Restoring of the tabernacle of David. 

I SAW the Lord standing upon 
the altar: and he said, Smite 
the l lintel of the door, that the 
posts may shake: and 2 cut them 
in the head, all of them; and 1 will 
slay the last of them with the 
sword: he that fleeth of them 
shall not flee away, and he that 
escape th of them shall not be de-

2 Though ° they dig into hell,

them; b though they climb up to

down: 

3 And though they ° hide them- 
selves in the top of Carmel, I will 
search and take them out thence; 
and though they be hid from my 
sight in the bottom of the sea, 
thence will I command the ser- 
pent, and he shall bite them:

Ethiopians unto me, O children of 
Israel? saith the Lord. Have not 
I brought up Israel out of the land 
of Egypt? and the Philistines 9 from 
Caphtor, and the Syrians h from 
Kir? 

8 Behold, * the eyes of the Lord 
God are upon the sinful kingdom, 
and I i will destroy it from off the 
face of the earth; saving that I will 
not utterly destroy the house of 
Jacob, saith the Lord. 

9 For, lo, I will command, and I 
will 5 sift the house of Israel among 
all nations, like as corn is sifted in 
a sieve, yet shall not the least 
6 grain fall upon the earth. 

10 All the sinners of my people 
shall die by the sword, which say, 

j The evil shall not overtake nor 
prevent us. 

11^1 In * that day will I raise up the 
tabernacle of David that is fallen, 
and 7 close up the breaches there- 
of; and I will raise up his ruins, 
and I will build it as in the days 
of old: 

12 That l they may possess the 
remnant of"* Edom, and of all the 
heathen, 8 which are called by my 
name, saith the Lord that doeth 
this. 

13 Behold, n the days come, saith 
the Lord, that the plowman shall 
overtake the reaper, and the 
treader of grapes him that 9 soweth 
seed; and the mountains shalldrop 
sweet 10 wine, and all the hills 
shall melt 

14 And I will bring again the 
captivity of my people of Israel, 
and they shall ° build the waste 
cities, and inhabit them; and they 
shall plant vineyards, and drink 
the wine thereof; they shall also 
make gardens, and eat the fruit of 
them. 

15 And I will plant them upon 
their land, p and they shall no more 
be pulled up out of their land 
which I have given them, saith 
the Lord thy God. 



OBADIAH 



1 Destruction of Edom, 3 for their pride, 
10 and wrong unto Jacob in his distress. 
17 Salvation and victories of Jacob. 

THE vision of Obadiah. Thus 
saith the Lord God a con- 
cerning Edom; We have heard a 
rumour from the Lord, and an 
ambassador is sent among the 
heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise 
up against her in battle. 

2 ^1 Behold, I have made thee 
small among the heathen: thou 
art greatly despised. 

3 The pride of thine heart hath 
deceived thee, thou that dwellest 
in the clefts 6 of the rock, whose 
habitation is high; c that saith in 
his heart, Who shall bring me 
down to the ground? 

4 Though d thou exalt thyself as 
the eagle, and though thou set thy 
nest among the stars, thence will 
I bring thee down, saith the Lord. 

5 If thieves came to thee, if rob- 
bers by night, (how art thou cut 
off!) would they not have stolen 
till they had enough? if the grape- 
gatherers came to thee, would they 
not leave ] some grapes? 

6 % How are the things of Esau 
searched out! how are his hidden 
things sought up! 

7 All the men of thy confederacy 
have brought thee even to the bor- 
der: 2 the men that were at peace 
with thee have deceived thee, and 
prevailed against thee; 3 they that 
eat thy bread have laid a wound 
under thee: tliere is none under- 
standing i in him. 

8 Shall I not in that day, saith 
the Lord, even destroy the wise 
men out of Edom, and understand- 
ing out of the mount of Esau? 

9 And thy e mighty men, Teman, 
shall be dismayed, to the end that 
every one of the mount of Esau 
may be cut off by slaughter. 

10 For thy f violence against thy 
brother Jacob shame shall cover 
thee, and 9 thou shalt be cut off 
for ever. 

11 In the day that thou stoodest 
on the other side, in the day that 
the strangers 5 carried away cap- 
tive his forces, and foreigners en- 
tered into his gates, and h cast lots 
upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as 
one of them. 

12 But 6 thou shouldest not have 
looked *' on the day of thy brother

JONAH 



CHAPTEE I. 

1 Jonah, sent to Nineveh, flees to Tarshish; 

4 he is overtaken by a tempest, 11 thrown 

into the sea, 17 and swallowed by a, JisL 

NOW the word of the Lokd came 
unto a Jonah the son of Amit- 
tai, saying, 

2 Arise, go to Nineveh, & that 
great city, and cry against it; for 
their c wickedness is come up be- 
fore me. 

3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto 
Tarshish d from the presence of the 
Lord, and went down to 6 Joppa; 
and he found a ship going to Tar- 
shish: so he paid the fare thereof, 
and went down into it, to go with 
them unto Tarshish ' from the 
presence of the Lord. 

4 % But the Lord x sent out a 
great wind into the sea, and there 
was a mighty tempest in the sea, 
so that the ship 2 was like to he 
broken. 

5 Then the mariners were afraid, 
and cried every man unto his god, 
and cast forth the wares that were 
in the ship into the sea, to lighten 
it of them. But Jonah was gone 
down into the sides- of the ship; 
and he lay, and was fast asleep.^ 

6 So the shipmaster came to him, 
and said unto him, What meanest 
thou, sleeper? arise, 9 call upon 
thy God, if so be that God will 
think upon us, that we perish not. 

7 And they said every one to his 
fellow, Come, and let us h cast lots, 
that we may know for whose cause 
this evil is upon us. So they cast 
lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. 

8 Then said they unto him, * Tell 
us, we pray thee, for whose cause 
this evil is upon us? What is thine 
occupation? and whence com est 
thou? what is thy country? and 
of what people art thou? 

9 And he said unto them, I am 
an Hebrew; and I fear 3 the Lord, 
the God of heaven, which hath 
made the sea and the dry land. 

10 Then were the men 4 exceed- 
ingly afraid, and said unto him, 
Why hast thou done this? For the 
men knew that he fled from the 
presence of the Lord, because he 
had told them. 

11 Then said they unto him,What 
shall we do unto thee, that the sea

5 may be calm unto us? for the 
sea 6 wrought, and was tempestu-

12 And he said unto them, Take 
me up, and cast me forth into the 
sea; so shall the sea be calm unto 
you: for I know that for.?' my sake 
this great tempest is upon you. 

13 Nevertheless the men 7 rowed 
hard to bring it to the land; ft but 
they could not: for the sea wrought, 
and was tempestuous against 
them. 

14 Wherefore they cried unto the 
Lord, and said, We beseech thee, 

Lord, we beseech thee, let us 
not perish for this man's life, and 
lay l not upon us innocent blood: 
for thou, O Lord, hast done as it 
pleased thee. 

15 So they took up Jonah, and 
cast him forth into the sea; and 
the sea 8 ceased from her raging. 

16 Then the men feared the Lord 
exceedingly, and 9 offered a sacri- 
fice unto the Lord, and made 
vows. 

17 f Now the Lord had prepared 
a great fish to swallow up Jonah. 
And m Jonah was in the 10 belly of 
the fish three days and three 
nights. 

CHAPTER H. 

1 Prayer of Jonah: 10 he is delivered out 

of the belly of the fish. 

THEN Jonah prayed unto the 
Lord his God out of the fish's 
belly, 

2 And said, I cried x by reason of 
mine affliction unto the Lord, and 
he heard me; out of the belly of 

2 hell cried I, and thou heardest 
my voice. 

3 For a thou hadst cast me into 
the deep, in the 3 midst of the 
seas; and the floods compassed 
me about: all thy billows and thy 
waves passed over me. 

4 Then b I said, I am cast out of 
thy sight; yet I will look again 
toward c thy holy temple. 

5 The waters compassed me 
about, even to the soul: the depth 
closed me round about, the weeds 
were wrapped about my head. 

6 I went down to the * bottoms 
of the mountains; the earth with 
her bars was about me for ever: 
yet hast thou brought up my life

from 5 corruption, Lord my 
God. 

7 When my soul fainted within 
me I remembered the Lord: d and 
my prayer came in unto thee, into 
thine holy temple. 

8 They that observe e lying vani- 
ties forsake their own mercy. 

9 But I will / sacrifice unto thee 
with the voice of thanksgiving; I 
will pay that that I have vowed. 
Salvation is of the Lord. 

10 IT And the Lord y spake unto 
the fish, and it vomited out Jonah 
upon the dry land. 

CHAPTER IH. 

1 Jonah 'preaches to the Ninevites: 3 they 
repent. 

AND the word of the Lord came 
unto Jonah the second time, 
saying, 

2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that 
great city, and preach unto it the 
preaching that I bid thee. 

3 So Jonah arose, and went unto 
Nineveh, according to the word of 
the Lord. Now Nineveh was an 
1 exceeding .great city of three 
days' journey. 

4 And Jonah began to enter into 
the city a day's journey, and a he 
cried, and said, Yet forty days, 
and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 

5 % So the people of b Nineveh 
believed God, and proclaimed a 
fast, and put on sackcloth, from 
the greatest of them even to the 
least of them. 

6 For word came unto the king 
of Nineveh, and he arose from his 
throne, and he laid his robe from 
him, and covered him with sack- 
cloth, c and sat in ashes. 

7 And d he caused it to be pro- 
claimed and 2 published through 
Nineveh by the decree of the king 
and his 3 nobles, saying,Letneither 
man nor beast, herd, nor flock, 
taste any thing; let them not 
feed, nor drink water: 

8 But let man and beast be 
covered with sackcloth, and cry 
mightily unto God; yea, let them 
turn * every one from his evil way, 
and from the violence that is in 
their hands. 

9 Who can tell if God will turn 
and repent, and turn away from 
his fierce anger, that we perish 
not? 

10 And God saw their works, that 
they turned from their evil way;

CHAPTER IV. 

Jonah, repining at God's mercy, 4 is 
reproved by the type of a gourd. 

BUT a it displeased Jonah ex- 
ceedingly, and he was very 
angry. 

2 And he prayed unto the Lord, 
and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was 
not this my saying when I was 
yet in my country? Therefore I 
fled before unto Tarshish : for I 
knew that thou art a 6 gracious 
God, and merciful, slow to anger, 
and of great kindness, and re- 
pentest thee of the evil. 

3 Therefore °now, O Lord, take, 

1 beseech thee, my life from me ; 
for it is better for me to die than 
to live. 

4 % Then said the Lord, l Doest 
thou well to be angry? 

5 So Jonah went out of the city, 
and sat on the east side of the 
city, and there made him a booth, 
and sat under it in the shadow, 
till he might see what would 
become of the city. 

6 And the Lord God prepared a 

2 gourd, and made it to come up 
over Jonah, that it might be a 
shadow over his head, to deliver 
him from his grief. So Jonah 

3 was exceeding glad of the gourd. 

7 But God prepared a worm 
when the morning rose the next 
day, and it smote the gourd that 
it withered. 

8 And it came to pass, when the 
sun did arise, that God prepared 
a 4 vehement east wind; and d the 
sun beat upon the head of Jonah, 
that he fainted, and wished in 
himself to die, and said. It is better 
for me to die than to live. 

9 And God said to Jonah, ^ Doest 
thou well to be angry for the 
gourd? And he said, 6 I do well 
to be angry, even unto death. 

10 Then said the Lord, Thou 
hast 7 had pity on the gourd, for 
the which thou hast not laboured, 
neither madest it grow; which 
8 came up in a night, and perished 
in a night: 

11 And should not I e spare 
Nineveh, that great city, wherein 
are more than sixscore thousand 
persons /that cannot discern be- 
tween their right hand and their 
left hand; and also much 9 cattle? 



MICAH. 



CHAPTER I. 

I Micah shows the wrath of God against 
Jacob for idolatry: 10 he exftorts to 
mourning. 

THE a word of the Lord that 
came to b Micah the Moras- 
thite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, 
and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, 
which he saw concerning Samaria 
and Jerusalem. 

2 f x Hear, all ye people; hearken, 
earth, and 2 all that therein is: 
and let the Lord God be witness 
against you, the Lord from his 
holy temple. 

3 For, behold, c the Lord cometh 
forth out of his place, and will 
come down, and tread upon the 
high places of the earth. 

4 And the mountains shall be 
molten under him, and the valleys 
shall be cleft, as wax before the 
fire, and as the waters that are 
poured down 3 a steep place. 

5 For the d transgression of Jacob 
is all this, and for the sins of the 
house of Israel. What is the trans- 
gression of Jacob? is it not Sama- 
ria? and what are the high places 
of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? 

6 Therefore I will make Samaria 
as e an heap of the field, and as 
plantings of a vineyard: and I will 
pour down the stones thereof into 
the valley, and I will discover the 
foundations thereof. 

7 And all the graven images 
thereof shall be beaten to pieces, 
and all the hires thereof shall be 
burnt with the fire, and all the 
idols thereof will I lay desolate: 
for she gathered it of the hire of an 
harlot, and they shall return to 
the hire of an harlot. 

8 Therefore I will wail and howl 
I -will go stripped and naked: I 
will make a wailing like the 
dragons, and mourning as the 
4 owls. 

9 For 6 her wound is incurable; 
for f it is come unto Judah; he is 
come unto the gate of my people, 
even to Jerusalem. 

10 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep 
ye not at all : in the house of 
6 Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.

10 Arise ye, and depart; for this

11 If a man 10 walking in the 
spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, 
I will prophesy unto thee of wine 
and of strong drink; he shall even 
be the prophet of this people. 

12 \ I will surely assemble, O 
Jacob, all of thee; I will surely 
gather the 9 remnant of Israel; I 
will put them together as the 
sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in 
the midst of their fold: they shall 
make great noise by reason of the 
multitude o/men. 

13 The breaker is come up before 
them: they have broken up, and 
have passed through the gate, and 
are gone out by it; and their King 
shall pass before them, and the 
Lord on the head of them.

AND I said, Hear, I pray you,

of the house of Israel; a Is it not for 
you to know judgment? 

2 Who hate the good, and love 
the evil; who pluck off their skin 
from off them, and their flesh from 
off their bones; 

3 Who also b eat the flesh of my 
people, and flay their skin from 
off them; and they break their 
bones, and chop them in pieces, as 
for the pot, and as flesh within the 
caldron. 

4 Then c shall they cry unto the 
Lord, but he will not hear them:

, cerning the prophets that make 
my people err, that 6 bite with 
their teeth, and cry, Peace; and 
he that putteth not into their 
mouths, they even prepare war 
against him: 

6 Therefore J night shall be unto 
you, 1 that ye shall not have a 
vision; and it shall be dark unto 
you, 2 that ye shall not divine; and 
the sun shall go down over the 
prophets, and the day shall be 
dark over them. . 

7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, 
and the diviners confounded; yea, 
they shall all cover their 3 lips: for 
there 9 is no answer of God. 

8 But truly I am full of power by 
the A Spirit of the Lord, and of 
judgment, and of might, * to de- 
clare unto Jacob his transgression, 
and to Israel his sin. 

»9 f Hear this, I pray you, ye 
heads of the house of Jacob, and 
princes of the house of Israel, that 
abhor judgment, and pervert all 
equity. 

10 They build up Zion with 
4 blood, and Jerusalem with ini- 
quity.

reward, and k the priests thereof 
teach for hire, and the prophets 
thereof divine for money: yet J will 
they lean upon the Lord, 5 and 
say, Is not the Lord among us?

lift up a sword against nation, 
neither d shall they leam war any 
more. 

4 But e they shall sit every man

of hosts hath spoken it. 

5 For/ all people will walk every

afflicted; 

7 And I will make her that halted

off a strong nation; and the Lord 
shall J reign over them in mount 
Zion from henceforth, even for

8 And thou, tower of 2 the

daughter of Zion", unto thee shall 
it come, even the first dominion; 
the kingdom shall come to the 
daughter of Jerusalem. 

9 }\ Now why dost thou cry out

10 Be in pain, and labour to bring 
forth, daughter of Zion, like a 
woman in travail: for now shalt 
thou go forth out of the city, and 
thou shalt dwell in the field, and 
thou shalt go even to Babylon; 
there shalt thou be delivered; 
there the Lord shall redeem thee 
from the hand of thine enemies. 

II % Now also many nations are 
gathered against thee, that say, 
Let her be defiled, and let our eye 
look upon Zion. 

12 But they know not the 
thoughts of the Lord, neither 
understand they his counsel: for 
he shall gather them as the sheaves 
into the floor. 

13 Arise and thresh, daughter 
of Zion: for I will make thine horn

"VTOW gather thyself in troops, 
L^> O daughter of troops: he hath 
laid siege against us; they a shall 
smite the Judge of Israel with a 
rod upon the cheek. 

2 But thou, J Beth-lehem Ephra- 
tah, though thou be little among 
the thousands of Judah, yet out of 
thee shall he come forth unto me 
that is to be c ruler in Israel; whose 
goings d forth have been from of old, 
from 1 everlasting. 

3 Therefore will he give them up, 
until the time that she which tra- 
vaileth hath brought forth; then 
the remnant of his brethren shall 
return unto the children of Israel. 

4 And he shall stand and 2 feed 
in the strength of the Lord, in the 
majesty of the name of the Lord 
his God; and they shall abide: for 
now e shall he be great unto the 
ends of the earth. 

5 And this man f shall be the 
peace, when the Assyrian shall 
come into our land: and when he 
shall tread in our palaces, then 
shall we raise against him seven 
shepherds, and eight 3 principal 
men. 

6 And they shall 4 waste the land 
of Assyria with the sword, and the 
land 9 of Nimrod 6 in the entrances 
thereof: thus shall he ft deliver us 
from the Assyrian, when he cometh 
into our land, and when he tread- 
eth within our borders. 

7 And the remnant of Jacob shall 
be in the midst of many * people 
as a dew from the Lord, as the 
showers upon the grass, that tar- 
rieth not for man, nor waiteth for 
the sons of men. 

8 ^f And the remnant of Jacob shall 
be among the Gentiles in the midst 
of many people as a Hon among 
the beasts of the forest, as a young 
lion among the flocks of 6 sheep; 
who, if he go through, both tread- 
eth down, and teareth in pieces, 
and none can deliver. 

9 Thine hand shall be lifted up 
upon thine adversaries, and all 
thine enemies shall be cut off. 

10 And •? it shall come to pass in

will cut off thy horses out of the

saith; Arise, contend thou 
1 before the mountains, and let the 
hills hear thy voice. 

2 Hear ye, mountains, a the

Lord hath a controversy with his

Israel. 

3 my people, b what have I done 
unto thee ? and wherein have I 
wearied thee? testify against me. 

4 For I brought thee up out of 
the land of Egypt, and redeemed 
thee out of the house of servants; 
and I sent before thee Moses, 
Aaron, and Miriam. 

5 my people, remember now 
what Balak c king of Moab con- 
sulted, and what Balaam the son 
of Beor answered him from d Shit- 
tim unto Gilgal; that ye may know 
the e righteousness of the Lord. 

6 Wherewith 'shall I come before 
the Lord, and bow myself before 
the high God? shall I come before 
him with burnt offerings, with 
calves 2 of a year old? 

7 Will g the Lord be pleased with 
thousands of rams, or with ten 
thousands of rivers of oil? h shall I 

| give my first-born for my trans- 
gression, the fruit of my 3 body for 
the sin of my soul? 

8 He hath showed thee, man, 
what is good; and what doth the 
Lord require of thee, but to do 
justly, and to love mercy, and to 
i walk humbly with thy God?

number, 3 and the general corruption, 
5 puts not confidence in man, but in God. 
S She triumphs, 14 is comforted. 

WOE is me! for I am as l when 
they have gathered the sum- 
mer fruits, as the grape gleanings

to eat: a my soul desired the first 
ripe fruit. 

2 The 2 good man is perished out 
of the earth; and there is none 
upright among men: they all lie 
in wait for blood; * they hunt 
every man his brother with a net. 

3 That they may do evil with 
both hands earnestly, c the prince 
asketh, d and the judge asketh for 
a reward; and the great man, he 
uttereth 3 his mischievous desire: 
so they wrap it up. 

4 The best of them is as a brier; 
the most upright is sharper than a 
thorn hedge: the day of thy watch- 
men and thy visitation cometh ; 
now shall be their perplexity. 

5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye 
not confidence in a guide; keep the

7 And it shall come to pass, that

her? whence shall I seek com- 
forters for thee?

CHAPTER. I. 

1 Unto Habakkuk, complaining of the 
iniquity of the land, 5 is shown the fear- 
ful vengeance by the Chaldeans. 

THE burden which Habakkuk 
the prophet did see. 

2 O Lord, how long a shall I cry, 
and thou wilt not hear! even cry 
out unto thee of violence, and 
thou wilt not save! 

3 Why dost thou show me ini- 
quity, and cause me to behold 
grievance? for spoiling and vio- 
lence are before me: and there are 
that raise up strife and conten- 
tion. 

4 Therefore 6 the law is slacked, 
and judgment doth never go forth: 
for the wicked doth compass about 
the righteous; therefore x wrong 
judgment proceedeth.

HABAKKUK, II. 



threatened on the Chaldeans. 



9 They shall come all for vio- 
lence: 6 their faces shall sup up as 
the east wind, and they shall gather 
the captivity as the sand. 

10 And they shall scoff at the 
kings, and the princes shall be a 
scorn unto them: they shall deride 
every strong hold; for they shall 
heap dust, and take it. 

11 Then shall his mind change, 
and he shall pass over, and offend, 
imputing this his power unto his 
god. 

12 H Art thou not from ever- 
lasting, Lord my God, mine Holy 
One? we shall not die. Lord, 
thou hast ordained them for judg- 
ment; and, 7 mighty God, thou 
hast 8 established them for correc- 
tion. 

13 Thou art of purer eyes than to 
behold evil, and canst not look 
on 9 iniquity: wherefore lookest 
thou upon them that deal treach- 
erously, and holdest thy tongue 
when the wicked devoureth the 
man that is more righteous than 
he? 

14 And makest men as the fishes 
of the sea, as the creeping things, 
that have no ruler over them? 

15 They take up all of them with 
the angle, they catch them in their 
net, and gather them in their 
10 drag: therefore they rejoice and 
are glad. 

16 Therefore they sacrifice un- 
to their net, and burn incense 
unto their drag; because by them 
their portion is fat, and their 
meat u plenteous. 

17 Shall they therefore 12 empty 
their net, and not spare continually 
to slay the nations?

ZEPHANIAH 



CHAPTER I. 

1 When Zephaniah prophesied. 2 God's 
severe judgments against Judah for 
divers sins. 

THE a word of the Lord which 
came unto Zephaniah the son 
of Cushi, the son of Gedaliab, the 
son of Amariah, the son of Hiz- 
kiah, in the days of Josiah the 
son of Amon, king of Judah. 

2 *I will utterly consume all things 
from off 2 the land, saith the Lord. 

3 I will consume man and beast; 
I will consume the fowls of the 
heaven, and the fishes of the sea, 
and the 3 stumblingblocks with 
the wicked; and I will cut off man 
from off the land, saith the Lord. 

4 I will also stretch out mine 
hand upon Judah, and upon all 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and 
4 1 will cut off the remnant of 
Baal from this place, and the name 
of the 6 Chemarims with the priests; 

5 And them that worship the 
host of heaven upon the house- 
tops ; and them that worship and 
that swear 5 by the Lord, and that 
swear c by Malcham; 

6 And them that are turned back 
from the Lord; and those that 
have not sought the Lord, nor 
enquired for him. 

7 Hold thy peace at the presence 
of the Lord God ; for the day of 
the Lord is at hand: for the Lord 
hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath 
6 bid his guests. 

8 And it shall come to pass in 
the day of the Lord's sacrifice, 
that I will 7 punish the princes, 
and the king's children, and all 
such as are clothed with strange 
apparel. 

9 In the same day also will I 
punish all those that leap on the 
threshold, which fill their masters' 
houses with violence and deceit. 

10 And it shall come to pass in 
that day, saith the Lord, that there 
shall be the noise of a cry from 
the d fish gate, and an howling 
from the second, and a great 
crashing from the hills. 

11 Howl, e ye inhabitants of 
8 Maktesh, for all the merchant 
people are cut down; all they that 
bear silver are cut off. 

12 f And it shall come to pass at 
that time, that I will search Jeru-

3 Seek c ye the Lord, d all ye

and Ashkelon a desolation: they 
shall drive out Ashdod /at the 
noon-day, and Ekron shall be 
rooted up. 

5 Woe unto the inhabitants of 
the ^sea coast, the nation of the 
Cherethites! the word of the Lord 
is against you; h O Canaan, the 
land of the Philistines, I will even 
destroy thee, that there shall be 
no inhabitant. 

6 And the sea coast shall be 
dwellings and cottages for shep- 
herds, i and folds for flocks. 

7 And the coast shall be for 
the i remnant of the house of 
Judah; they shall feed thereupon: 
in the houses of Ashkelon shall 
they lie down in the evening; 
2 for the Loed their God shall 
visit * them, and l turn away their 
captivity. 

8 % I TO have heard the reproach 
of Moab, and the revilings of the 
children of Ammon, whereby 
they have reproached my people, 
and n magnified themselves against 
their border. 

9 Therefore as I live, saith the 
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
Surely ° Moab shall be as Sodom, 
and p the children of Ammon as 
Gomorrah, even the breeding of 
nettles, and .salt pits, and a per- 
petual desolation: the residue of 
my people shall spoil them, and 
the remnant of my people shall 
possess them. 

10 This shall they have for their 
pride, because they have re- 
proached and magnified themselves 
against the people of the Lord of 
hosts. 

11 The Lord will be terrible unto 
them: for he will 3 famish all the 
gods of the earth; and q men shall 
worship him, every one from his 
place, even all r the isles of the 
heathen. 

12 1f Te * Ethiopians also, ye shall 
be slain by my. sword. 

13 And he will stretch out his 
hand against the north, and de- 
stroy Assyria; and will make 
Nineveh a desolation, and dry like 
a wilderness. 

14 And flocks shall lie down in 
the midst of her, all * the beasts of 
the nations: both the i cormorant 
and the bittern shall lodge in the 
5 upper lintels of it; their voice shall 
sing in the windows; desolation 
shall be in the thresholds: 6 for he 
shall uncover the cedar- work.

WOE to 1 her that is filthy and

2 She ° obeyed not the voice; she 
received b not 2 correction ; she 
trusted not in the Lord; she drew 
not near to her God. 

3 Her princes within her are roar- 
ing lions; her judges are evening 
wolves; they gnaw not the bones 
till the morrow. 

4 Her c prophets are light and 
treacherous persons : her priests 
have polluted the sanctuary, they 
have done d violence to the 
law. 

5 The just Lord e is in the midst 
thereof; he will not do iniquity: 

3 every morning doth he bring his 
judgment to light, he faileth not; 
but the unjust knoweth no 
shame. 

6 I have cut off the nations: their 

4 towers are desolate; I made their 
streets waste, that none passeth 
by: their cities are destroyed, so 
that there is no man, that there is 
none inhabitant. 

7 1 said, Surely thou wilt fear me, 
thou wilt receive instruction; so 
their dwelling should not be cut 
off, howsoever I punished them: 
but they rose early, and* corrupted 
all their doings.

saith the Lord, until the day that 
I rise up to the prey; for my deter- 
mination is to A gather the nations, 
that I may assemble the king- 
doms, to pour upon them mine 
indignation, even all my fierce 
anger: for all the earth shall 
be devoured with the fire of my

they may all call upon the name 
of the Lord, to serve him with

CHAPTEE I. 



2 Haggai, reproving the people's negli- 
gence, 1 incites them to build the house, 
12 and promises God's assistance there- 
in. 

IN the second year of Darius the 
king, in the sixth month, in 
the first day of the month, came 
the word of the Lord 1 by Haggai 
the prophet unto ° Zerubbabel the 
son of Shealtiel, 2 governor of 
Judah, and to Joshua the son of 
Josedech b the high priest, saying, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord of 
hosts, saying, This people say, The 
time is not come, the time that 
the Lord's house should be built. 

3 Then came the word of the 
Lord by Haggai c the prophet, 
saying, 

4 Is it time for you, ye, to dwell 
in your cieled houses, and this 
house lie waste? 

5 Now therefore thus saith the 
Lord of hosts; 3 Consider your ways. 

6 Ye have sown much, and bring 
in little; ye eat, but ye have not 
enough; ye drink, but ye are not 
filled with drink; ye clothe you, 
but there is none warm; and he

9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it

and the words of Haggai the pro-

before the Lord. 

13 Then spake Haggai the Lord's 
messenger in the Lord's message 
unto the people, saying, *I am with 
you, saith the Lord. 

14 And S the Lord stirred up the 
spirit of Zerubbabel the son of 
Shealtiel, * governor of Judah,

Josedech, the high priest, and the 
spirit of all the remnant of the 
people; l and they came and did 
work in the house of the Lord of

1 He encourages the people to work, by a 
promise of greater glory to the second 
temple than was in the first: 10 he shows 
that their sins hindered the work, etc.

month, came the word of the 
Lord l by the prophet Haggai, 
saying, 

2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the

4 Yet now c be strong, Zerub-

the Lord, and work: for d I am

10 % In the four and twentieth 
day of the ninth month, in the 
second year of Darius, came the 
word of the Lord by Haggai the 
prophet, saying, 

11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
Ask m now the priests concerning 
the law, saying, 

12 If one bear holy flesh in the 
skirt of his garment, and with his 
skirt do touch bread, or pottage, 
or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall 
it be holy? And the priests an- 
swered and said, No. 

13 Then said Haggai, If one that 
is n unclean by a dead body touch 
any of these, shall it be unclean? 
And the priests answered and 
said, It shall be unclean. 

14 Then answered Haggai, and 
said, ° So is this people, and so is 
this nation before me, saith the 
Lord; and so is every work of 
their hands; and that which they 
offer there is unclean. 

15 And now, I pray you, p consider 
from this day and upward, from 
before a stone was laid upon a 
stone in the temple of the Lord: 

16 Since those days were, when 
one came to an heap of twenty 
measures, there were but ten: when 
one came to the press-fat for to 
draw out fifty vessels out of the 
press, there were but twenty. 

17 I q smote you with blasting 
and with mildew and with hail 
in all the labours of your hands; 
yet r ye turned not to me, saith the 
Lord. 

18 f Consider now from this day 
and upward, from the four and 
twentieth day of the ninth month, 
even from s the day that the founda- 
tion of the Lord's temple was 
laid, consider it. 

19 Is the seed yet in the barn? 
yea, as yet the vine, and the fig- 
tree, and the pomegranate, and 
the olive tree, hath not brought 
forth: from this day will I bless 
you. 

20 f And again the word of the 
Lord came unto Haggai in the 
four and twentieth day of the 
month, saying, 

21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor 
of Judah, saying, * I will shake the 
heavens and the earth;

CHAPTER L 



L Zechariah exhorts to repentance. 1 
Vision of the horses. 12 Comfortable 
promises made to Jerusalem. 18 Vision 
of four horns, and four carpenters. 

IN the eighth month, a in the 
second year of Darius, came the 
word of the Lord unto 6 Zechariah, 
(the son of Barachiah, the son of 
Iddo,) the prophet, saying, 

2 The Lord hath been 1 sore dis- 
pleased with your fathers. 

3 Therefore say thou unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn 
ye c unto me, saith the Lord of 
hosts, and I will turn unto you, 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto 
whom the former prophets have 
cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord 
of hosts; d Turn ye now from your 
evil ways, and from your evil 
doings: but they did not hear, nor 
hearken unto me, saith the Lord. 

5 Your fathers, where are they? 
and the prophets, do they live for 
ever? 

6 But 6 my words and my stat- 
utes, which I commanded my 
servants the prophets, did they not 

2 take hold of your fathers ? and 
they returned and said, '/ Like as 
the Lord of hosts thought to do 
unto us, according to our ways, 
and according to our doings, so 
hath he dealt with us. 

7 % Upon the four and twentieth 
day of the eleventh month, which 
is the month Sebat, in the second 
year of Darius, came the word of 
the Lord unto Zechariah, (the son 
of Barachiah, the son of IddOj) the 
prophet, saying, 

8 I saw by night, and behold ° a 
man riding upon a red horse, and 
he stood among the myrtle trees 
that were in the bottom; and 
behind him were there h red horses,

talked with me said unto me, I 
will show thee what these be. . 

10 And the man that stood among 
the myrtle trees answered and 
said, * These are they whom the 
Lord hath sent to walk to and fro 
through the earth. 

11 And i they answered the angel 
of the Lord that stood among the 
myrtle trees, and said, We have 
walked to and fro through the 
earth, and, behold, all the earth 
sitteth still, and is at rest. 

12 \ Then the angel of the Lord 
answered and said, k O Lord of 
hosts, how long wilt thou not have 
mercy on Jerusalem and on the 
cities of Judah, against which thou 
hast had indignation l these 
threescore and ten years? 

13 And the Lord answered the 
angel that talked with me m with 
good words and comfortable words. 

14 So the angel that communed 
with me said unto me, Cry thou, 
saying, Thus saith the Lord of 
hosts; I am n jealous for Jerusalem 
and for Zion with a great jealousy. 

15 And I am very sore displeased 
with the heathen that are at ease: 
for ° I was but a little displeased, 
and they helped forward the 
affliction. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; 
I p am returned to Jerusalem with 
mercies: my house shall be built 
in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and 
a q line shall be stretched forth 
upon Jerusalem. 

17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts; My cities through 
4 prosperity shall yet be spread 
abroad; r and the Lord shall yet 
comfort Zion, and/ shall yet 
choose Jerusalem. 

18 \ Then lifted I up mine eyes, 
and saw, and, behold, four horns.

that talked with me, What be

these ? And he answered me, 
These * are the horns which have 
scattered Judah, Israel, and Jeru-

20 And the Lord showed me four 
carpenters. 

21 Then said I, What come these 
to do? And he spake, saying, These 
are the horns which have scattered 
Judah, so that no man did lift up 
his head: but these are come to 
fray them, to cast out the horns of 
the Gentiles, which M lifted up their 
horn over the land of Judah to 
scatter it. 

CHAPTER II. 

An angel sent to measure Jerusalem, and 
its flourishing state under God's protec- 
tion foretold. 

I LIFTED up mine eyes again, 
and_ looked, and, behold, a a 
man with a measuring line in his 
hand. 

2 Then said I, Whither goest 
thou? And he said unto me, b To 
measure Jerusalem, to see what is 
the breadth thereof, and what is 
the length thereof. 

3 And, behold, the angel that 
talked with me went forth, and 
another angel went out to meet 
him, 

4 And said unto him, Eun, speak 
to this young man, saying, c Jeru- 
salem shall be inhabited as towns 
without walls for the multitude of 
men and cattle therein: 

5 For I, saith the Lord, will be 
unto her a d wall of fire round 
about, e and will be the glory in 
the midst of her. 

6 f Ho, ho! come forth, and flee 
from the land of the north, saith 
the Lord: for I have / spread you 
abroad as the four winds of the 
heaven, saith the Lord. 

<? Deliver thyself, Zion, that 
dwellest with the daughter of 
Babylon. 

8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
After the glory hath he sent me 
unto the nations which spoiled 
you; for he that * toucheth you 
toucheth the apple of his eye. 

9 For, behold, I will shake mine 
hand upon them, and they shall 
be a spoil to their servants: and ye 
shall know that the Lord of hosts 
hath sent me. 

10 ^1 Sing and rejoice, daughter 
of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I A will 
dwell in the midst of thee, saith 
the Lord.

CHAPTER IIL 

1 Under the type of Joshua, the restora-' 
tion of the church promised. 8 Christ, 
the Branch, promised. 

AND he showed me a Joshua 
the high priest standing before 
the angel of the Lord, and l Satan 
standing at his right hand to 2 re- 
sist him. 

2 And 5 the Lord said unto 
Satan, c The Lord rebuke thee, O 
Satan; even the Lord that d hath 
chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: 6 is 
not this a brand plucked out of 
the fire? 

3 Now Joshua was clothed with 
filthy f garments, and stood before 
the angel. 

4 And he answered and spake 
unto those that stood before him, 
saying, Take away the filthy gar- 
ments from him. And unto him 
he said, Behold, I have caused 
thine iniquity to pass from thee, 
and 9 I will clothe thee with 
change of raiment. 

5 And I said, Let them set a fair 
mitre h upon his head. So they 
set a fair mitre upon his head, and 
clothed him with garments. And 
the angel of the Lord stood by. 

6 And the angel of the Lord 
protested unto Joshua, saying, 

7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If 
thou wilt walk in my ways, and if 
thou wilt keep my 3 charge, then 
thou shalt also * judge my house, 
and shalt also keep my courts, and 
I will give thee 4 places to walk 
among these that stand by. 

8 Hear now, O Joshua the high 
priest, thou, and thy fellows that 
sit before thee: for they are men 
5 wondered at: for, behold, I will 
bring forth i my servant * The 
BRANCH. 

9 For behold the stone that I 
have laid before Joshua; l upon 
one stone shall m be seven eyes: be- 
hold, I will engrave the graving 
thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, 
and n I will remove the iniquity of 
that land in one day.

hosts, shall ye call every man his 
neighbour under ° the vine and 
under the fig tree. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 By the golden candlestick is foreshown 
the good success of ZerubbabeVs founda- 
tion; 11 by the two olive trees, the two 
anointed ones. 

AND the angel that talked with 
me came again, and waked 
me, a as a man that is wakened 
out of his sleep, 

2 And said unto me, What seest 
thou? And I said, I have looked, 
and, behold, b a candlestick all of 
gold, 1 with a bowl upon the top of it, 
and c his seven lamps thereon, and 

2 seven pipes to the seven lamps, 
which are upon the top thereof: 

3 And d two olive trees by it, one 
upon the right side of the bowl, and 
the other upon the left side thereof. 

4 So I answered and spake to the 
angel that talked with me, saying, 
What are these, my lord? 

5 Then the angel that talked 
with me answered and said unto 
me, Knowest thou not what these 
be? And I said, No, my lord. 

6 Then he answered and spake 
Unto me, saying, This is the word 
of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, 
saying, Not by 3 might, nor by 
power, but by my Spirit, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

7 Who art thou, e great moun- 
tain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt 
become a plain: and he shall bring 
forth ' the head-stone thereof 9 with 
shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto 
it! 

8 Moreover the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have 
laid the foundation of this house; 
his hands shall A also finish it; and 
thou * shalt know that the Lord 
of hosts hath sent me unto you. 

10 For who hath despised the day 
of small J things? 4 for they shall 
rejoice, and shall see the 5 plummet 
in the hand of Zerubbabel with 
those seven; k they are the eyes of 
the Lord, which run to and fro 
through the whole earth. 

11 IT Then answered I, and said 
unto him, What are these two 
olive trees upon the right side of 
the candlestick and upon the left 
side thereof? 

12 And I answered again, and 
said unto him, What be these two 
olive branches which 6 through the 
two golden pipes 7 empty s the 
golden oil out of themselves?

CHAPTER V. 

1 By a flying roll is shown the curse of 
thieves and false swearers. 5 Babylon s 
ruin. 

THEN I turned, and lifted up 
mine eyes, and looked, and, 
behold, a flying roll. 

2 And he said unto me, What 
seest thou? And I answered, I see 
a flying roll ; the length thereof 
is twenty cubits, and the breadth 
thereof ten cubits. 

3 Then said he unto me, This is 
the a curse that goeth forth over 
the face of the whole earth: for 
1 every one that stealeth shall be 
cut off as on this side according to 
it; and every one that sweareth 
shall be cut off as on that side 
according to it. 

4 I will bring it forth, saith the 
Lord of hosts, and it shall enter 
into the house of the thief, and 
into the house of b him that swear- 
eth falsely by my name: and it 
shall remain in the midst of his 
house, and c shall consume it with 
the timber thereof and the stones 
thereof. 

5 *[[ Then the angel that talked 
with me went forth, and said unto 
me, Lift up now thine eyes, and 
see what is this that goeth forth. 

6 And I said, What is it? And 
he said, This is an ephah that 
goeth forth. He said moreover, 
This is then resemblance through 
all the earth. 

7 And, behold, there was lifted 
up a 2 talent of lead: and this is a 
woman that sitteth in the midst 
of the ephah. 

8 And he said, This is Wicked- 
ness. And he cast it into the 
midst of the ephah; and he cast 
the weight of lead upon the mouth 
thereof. 

9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and 
looked, and, behold, there came 
out two women, and the wind was 
in their wings; for they had wings 
like the wings of a stork: and they 
lifted up the ephah between the 
earth and the heaven. 

10 Then said I to the angel that 
talked with me. Whither do these 
bear the ephah?

I Vision of Jour chariots. 9 By the crowns

and his church and kingdom. 

AND I turned, and lifted up 
mine eyes, and looked, and, 
behold, there came four chariots 
out from between two mountains; 
and the mountains were mountains 
of brass. 

2 In the first chariot were ° red 
hordes, and in the second chariot 
black horses, 

3 And in the third chariot 5 white 
horses, and in the fourth chariot 
grisled and x bay horses. 

4 Then I answered c and said 
unto the angel that talked with 
me, What are these, my lord? 

5 And the angel answered and 
said unto me, d These are the four 
2 spirits of the heavens, which go 
forth from e standing before the 
Lord of all the earth. 

6 The black horses which are 
therein go forth into / the north 
country; and the white go forth 
after them; and the grisled go forth 
toward the south country. 

7 And the bay went forth, and 
sought to go that they 9 might 
walk to and fro through the earth: 
and he said, Get you hence, walk 
to and fro through the earth. So 
they walked to and fro through 
the earth. 

8 Then cried he upon me, and 
spake unto me, saying, Behold, 
these that go toward the north 
country have quieted my h spirit 
in the north country. 

9 ^ And the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying,

CHAPTER VIL 

1 The captives enquire of fasting: iZe.clia- 
riah reproves tneir hypocritical fasting. 
H They are exhorted to repentance, etc. 

AND it came to pass in the fourth 
year of king Darius, that the 
word of the Lord came unto 
Zechariah in the fourth day of the 
ninth month, even in Chisleu; 

2 When they had sent unto the 
house of God Sherezer and Regem- 
melech, and their men, 1 to pray 
before the Lord, 

3 And to a speak unto the priests 
which were in the house of the 
Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, 
saying, Should I weep in the fifth 
month, separating myself, as I 
have done these so many years? 

4 If Then came the word of the 
Lord of hosts unto me, saying, 

5 Speak unto all the people of the 
land, and to the priests, saying, j 
When ye fasted and mourned in 
the fifth and seventh month, b even 
those seventy years, did ye at all 
fast unto c me, even to me? 

6 And when ye did eat, and when 
ye did drink, 2 did not ye eat 
for yourselves, and drink for your~ 
selves? 

7 3 Should ye not hear the words 
which the Lord hath cried i by 
the former prophets, when Jerusa* 
lem was inhabited and in pros- 
perity, and the cities thereof round 
about her, when men d inhabited 
the south and the plain? 

8 ^ And the word of the Lord 
came unto Zechariah, saying, 

9 Thus speaketh the LoRDof hosts, 
saying, b Execute true judgment, 
and show mercy and compassions 
every man to his brother: 

10 And oppress not the widow, 
nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor 
the poor; and let none of you

imagine evil against his brother in 
your heart. 

11 But they refused to hearken, 
and 6 pulled away the shoulder, 
and 7 stopped their ears, that they 
should not hear. 

12 Yea, they made their hearts 
as an adamant stone, lest they 
should hear the law, and the 
words which the Lord of hosts 
hath sent in his Spirit 8 by the 
former prophets: therefore came a 
great wrath from the Lord of 
hosts. 

13 Therefore it is come to pass, 
thai as he cried, and they would 
not hear; so they cried, and I 
would not hear, saith the Lord of 
hosts: 

14 But I scattered them with a 
whirlwind among all the nations 
whom they knew not: thus the 
land was desolate after them, that 
no man passed through nor re- 
turned; for they laid the 9 pleasant 
land desolate. 

CHAPTER VIII.

AGAIN the word of the Lord of

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
I a was jealous for Zion with great 
jealousy, and I was jealous for her 
with great fury. 

3 Thus saith the Lord; I am 
returned unto Zion, and will dwell 
in the midst of Jerusalem: and 
Jerusalem h shall be called, A city 
of truth; and c the mountain of 
the Lord of hosts, d The holy 
mountain. 

4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
There 6 shall, yet old men and old 
women dwell in the streets of 
Jerusalem, and every man with 
his staff in his hand x for very age. 

5 And the streets of the city shall 
be full of boys and girls playing in 
the streets thereof. 

6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
If it be 2 marvellous in the eyes of 
the remnant of this people in these 
days, /should it also be marvellous 
in mine eyes? saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;

9 \ Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
Let h your hands be strong, ye that 
hear in these days these words by 
the mouth of * the prophets, which 
were in •>' the day that the founda- 
tion of the house of the Lord of 
hosts was laid, that the temple 
might be built. 

10 For before these days 4 there 
was no hire for man, nor any hire 
for beast; neither was there any 
peace to him that went out or 
came in because of the affliction: 
for I set all men every one against 
his neighbour. 

11 But now I will not be unto the 
residue of this people as in the 
former days, saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

12 For the seed shall be 5 prosper- 
ous; the vine shall give her fruit, 
and the ground shall give her in- 
crease, and the heavens shall give 
their dew; and I will cause the 
remnant of this people to k possess 
all these things. 

13 And it shall come to pass, that 
as ye were l a curse among the 
heathen, O house of Judah, and 
house of Israel; so will I save you, 
and m ye shall be a blessing: " fear 
not, but let your hands be strong. 

14 For thus saith the Lord of 
hosts; ° As I thought to punish 
you, when your fathers provoked 
me to wrath, saith the Lord of 
hosts, p and I repented not: 

15 So again have I thought in 
these days to do well unto Jerusa- 
lem, and to the house of Judah: 
fear ye not. 

16 \\ These are the things that ye 
shall do; 2 Speak ye every man the 
truth to his neighbour; 6 execute 
the judgment of truth and peace 
in your gates: 

17 And r let none of you imagine 
evil in your hearts against his 
neighbour; and love no false oath: 
for all these are things that I "hate, 
saith the Lord. 

18 ^[ And the word of the Lord 
of hosts came unto me, saying, 

19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
The * fast of the fourth month, and 
the fast of the fifth, u and the fast 
of the seventh, and the fast of the 
tenth, shall be to the house of 
Judah v joy and gladness, and 
cheerful 7 feasts; therefore love the 
truth and peace. 

20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
It shall yet come to pass, that there

hosts; I will go also. 

22 Tea, many people and strong 
nations shall come to seek the 
Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to 
pray before the Lord. 

23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
In those days it shall come to pass, 
that ten men shall take hold out

even shall take hold of the skirt

3 And Tyrus did build herself a 
strong hold, and heaped up silver 
as the dust, and fine gold as the

10 And I will cut off the chariot

Jerusalem, and the battle-bow 
shall be cut off: and he shall speak 
peace ° unto the heathen; and his 
dominion shall be p from sea even to

11 As for thee also, 3 by the blood

thy 3 prisoners out of the pit where- 
in is no water. 

12 Turn you to the strong hold, 
ye prisoners of hope: even to-day 
do I declare that I will render 
double unto thee; 

13 When I have bent Judah for 
me, filled the bow with Ephraim, 
and raised up thy sons, O Zion, 
against thy sons, Greece, and 
made thee as the sword of a mighty 
man. 

14 And the Lord shall be seen 
over them, and his arrow shall go

Lord God shall blow the trumpet, 
and shall go with whirlwinds of 
the south.

4 subdue with sling stones; and 
they shall drink, and make a noise 
as through wine; and they 5 shall 
be filled like bowls, and as r the

as the stones of a crown, lifted u up

shall make the young men 6 cheer-

they went then way as a flock.

God's care of his flock. 



they 3 were troubled, because there 
was no shepberd. 

3 Mine anger was kindled against 
the sbepberds, and I 4 punished 
the goats: for the Lord of hosts 
hath c visited his flock the house of 
Judah, and bath made them as 
his goodly horse in the battle. 

4 Out of him came forth the 
comer, out of him d the nail, out 
of him the battle-bow, out of him 
every oppressor together. 

5 And they shall be as mighty 
men, which tread down their enemies 
in the mire of the streets in the 
battle: and they shall fight, be- 
cause the Lord is with them, and 
the 5 riders on horses shall be con- 
founded. 

6 And 1 will strengthen the house 
of Judah, and I will save the 
house of Joseph, and I will bring 
them again to place them: for I 
have mercy upon them: and they 
shall be as though I had not cast 
them off: for I am the Lord their 
God, and will hear them. 

7 And they of Ephraim shall be 
like a mighty man, and their heart 
shall rejoice as through wine: yea, 
their children shall see it, and be 
glad; their heart shall rejoice in 
the Lord. 

8 I will e hiss for them, and 
gather them; for I have redeemed 
them: and they shall increase as 
they have increased. 

9 And I will sow them among 
the people: and they shall remem- 
ber me in far countries; and they 
shall live with their children, and 
turn again. 

10 I will /bring them again also 
out of the land of Egypt, and 
gather them out of Assyria; and I 
will bring them into the land of 
Gilead and Lebanon; and 9 place 
shall not be found for them. 

11 And he shall pass through the 
sea with affliction, and shall smite 
the waves in the sea, and all the 
deeps of the river shall dry up; 
and the pride of Assyria shall be 
brought down, and the h sceptre 
of Egypt shall depart away. 

12 And I will strengthen them in 
the Lord; and they shall walk up 
and down in his name, saith the 
Lord.

2 Howl, fir tree ; for the cedar is 
fallen; because the x mighty are 
spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; 
for 2 the forest of the vintage is 
come down. 

3 % There is a voice of the howling 
of the shepherds; for their glory is 
spoiled: a voice of the roaring of 
young lions; for the pride of Jordan 
is spoiled. 

4 Thus saith the Lord my God; 
Feed the flock of the slaughter; 

5 Whose possessors slay them, 
and ° hold themselves not guilty: 
and they that sell them 6 say, 
Blessed be the Lord; for I am 
rich : and their own shepherds 
pity them not. 

6 For I will no more pity the 
inhabitants of the land, saith the 
Lord: but, lo, I will 3 deliver the 
men every one into bis neighbour's 
hand, and into the hand of hig 
king; and they shall smite the 
land, and out of their hand I will 
not deliver them. 

7 And I will feed the flock of 
slaughter, 4 even you, c O poor of 
the flock. And 1 took unto me 
two staves; the one I called 
Beauty, and the other I called 

5 Bands; and I fed the flock. 

8 Three shepherds also I cut off 
in d one month ; and my soul 

6 loathed them, and their soul also 
abhorred me. 

9 Then said I, I will not feed you: 
that "that dieth, let it die; and 
that that is to be cut off, let it be 
cut off; and let the rest eat every 
one the flesh 7 of another. 

10 1f And I took my staff, even 
Beauty, and cut it asunder, that 
I might break my covenant which 
1 had made with all the people. 

11 And it was broken in that 
day: and 8 so the poor of the flock 
that waited upon me knew that 
it was the word of the Lord. 

12 And I said unto them, 9 If ye 
think good, give me my price; and 
if not, forbear. So they S weighed 
for my price thirty pieces of 
silver. 

13 And the Lord said unto me, 
Cast it unto the 9 potter: a goodly 
price that I was prized at of them. 
And I took the thirty pieces of 
silver, and cast them to the potter 
in the house of the Lord. 

14 Then I cut asunder mine 
other staff, even 10 Bands, that I 
might break the brotherhood be- 
tween Judah and Israel. 

15 TT And the Lord said unto me, 



Restoration ofJudah. 



ZECHAEIAH, XII, XIII. Repentance of Jerusalem. 



Take ft unto thee yet the instru- 
ments of a foolish shepherd: 

16 For, lo, I will raise up a shep- 
herd in the land, which shall not 
visit those that be u cut off, neither 
shall seek the young one, nor heal 
that that is broken, nor 12 feed 
that that standeth still; but he 
shall eat the flesh of the fat, and 
tear their claws in pieces. 

17 Woe *to the idol shepherd 
that leaveth the flock! the sword 
shall be upon his arm, and upon 
his right eye : his arm shall be 
clean dried up, and his right eye 
shall be utterly-?' darkened. 

CHAPTER XIL 

1 Jerusalem a cup of trembling* and. a 
burdensome stone to the confusion of her 
adversaries. 6 Victorious restoring of 
Judah. 10 Repentance of Jerusalem. 

THE burden of the word of the 
Lord for Israel, saith the 
Lord, which stretcheth forth the 
heavens, and layeth the founda- 
tion of the earth, and a formeth 
the spirit of man within him. 

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem 
a cup of 1 trembling unto all the 
people round about, 2 when they 
shall be in the siege both against 
Judah and against Jerusalem. 

3 And in that day will I make 
Jerusalem a b burdensome stone 
for all people: all that burden 
themselves with it shall be cut in 
pieces, though all the people of 
the earth be gathered together 
against it. 

4 In that day, saith the Lord, c I 
will smite every horse with aston- 
ishment, and his rider with mad- 
ness; and I will open mine eyes 
upon the house of Judah, and will 
smite every horse of the people 
with blindness. 

5 And the governors of Judah 
shall say in their heart, 3 The in- 
habitants of Jerusalem shall be my 
strength in the Lord of hosts their 
God. 

6 In that day will I make the 
governors of Judah like an hearth 
of fire among the wood, and like 
a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they 
shall devour all the people round 
about, on the right hand and on 
the left: and Jerusalem shall be 
inhabited again in her own place, 
even in Jerusalem. 

7 The Lord also shall save d the 
tents of Judah first, that the glory 
of the house of David and the 
glory of the inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem do not magnify themselves 
against Judah.

2 And it shall come to pass in 
that day, saith the Lord of hosts, 
that I will b cut off the names of 
the idols out of the land, and they 
shall no more be remembered; 
and also 1 will cause the c prophets 
and the unclean spirit to pass out 
of the land. 

3 And it shall come to pass, that 
when any shall yet prophesy, then 
his d father and his mother that 
begat him shall say unto him, 
Thou shalt not live; for thou 
speakest lies in the name of the 
Lord: and his father and his 
mother that begat him shall 
thrust him through when he 
prophesieth.

4 And it shall come to pass in 
that day, that the prophets shall 
be ashamed every one of his 
vision, when he hath prophesied; 
neither shall they wear 2 a rough 
garment 3 to deceive: 

5 But he shall say, I am no pro- 
phet, I am an husbandman; for 
man taught me to keep cattle 
from my youth. 

6 And one shall say unto him, 
What are these wounds in thine 
hands? Then he shall answer, 
Those with which I was wounded 
in the house of my friends. 

7 f Awake, sword, against 
my e Shepherd, and against the 
man Hhat is my fellow, saith the 
Lord of hosts: 9 smite the Shep- 
herd, and the sheep shall be scat- 
tered; and I will turn mine hand 
upon A the little ones. 

8 And it shall come to pass, that 
in all the land, saith the Lord, 
two parts therein shall be cut off 
and die; *but the third shall be 
left therein. 

9 And I will bring the third part 
through ■>' the fire, and will & refine 
them as silver is refined, and will 
try them as gold is tried : they 
shall call on my name, and I will 
hear them: I will say, It is my 
people; and they shall say, The 
Lord is my God. 

CHAPTER XIV. 
1 Destruction of Jerusalem. 3 Coming of

12 Plague of Jerusalem's enemies. 
16 The remnant shall turn to the Lord,

2 For a I will gather all nations 
against Jerusalem to battle; and 
the city shall be taken, and the 
houses rifled, and the women 
ravished; and half of the city shall 
go forth into captivity, and the 
residue of the people shall not be 
cut off from the city. 

3 H Then shall the Lord go forth, 
and fight against those nations, 
as when he fought in the day of 
battle. 

4 And his feet shall stand in that 
day upon b the mount of Olives, 
which is before Jerusalem on the 
east ; and the mount of Olives 
shall cleave in the midst thereof

west, c and there shall be a very great

ingratitude, 6 irreligiousness, 12 and 
profaneness. 

THE burden of the word of the 
Lord to Israel 1 by Malachi. 

2 I have loved you, saith the Lord: 
yet ye say, Wherein hast thou 
loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's 
brother ? saith the Lord: yet I 
loved ° Jacob, 

3 And I hated Esau, and b laid 
his mountains and his heritage 
waste for the dragons of the wil- 
derness. 

4 Whereas Edom saith, We are 
impoverished, but we will return 
and build the desolate places; thus 
saith the Lord of hosts, They shall 
build, but I will throw down; 
and they shall call them, The 
border of wickedness, and, The 
people against whom the Lord 
hath indignation for ever. 

5 And your eyes shall see, and 
ye shall say, e The Lord will be 
magnified 2 from the border of 
Israel. 

6 % A son d honoureth his father, 
and a servant his master: 6 if then 
I be a father, where is mine honour? 
and if I be a master, where is my 
fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto 
you, priests, that despise my 
name. And ye say, Wherein have 
we despised thy name?

have we polluted thee? In that 
ye say, / The table of the Lord is 
contemptible. 

8 And if ye offer the blind 4 for 
sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye 
offer the lame and sick, is it not 
evil? offer it now unto thy gover- 
nor; will he be pleased with thee, 
or accept ^thy person? saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

9 And now, I pray you, beseech 
5 God that he will be gracious unto 
us: fl this hath been 6 by your 
means: will he regard your persons? 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

10 Who is there even among you 
that would shut the doors for 
nought? i neither do ye kindle fire 
on mine altar for nought. I have 
no pleasure in you, saith the Lord 
of hosts, i neither will I accept an 
offering at your hand. 

11 For * from the rising of the 
sun, even unto the going down of 
the same, my name shall be great 
among the Gentiles; I and in every 
place m incense shall be offered 
unto my name, and a pure offering: 
for n my name shall be great among 
the heathen, saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

12 U But ye have profaned it, in 
that ye say, The table of the Lord 
is polluted; and the fruit thereof, 
even his meat, is contemptible. 



The prophet denounces 



MALACHI, II, in. 



the iniquities of the people. 



13 Ye said also, Behold, what a 
weariness is it ! 7 and ye have 
snuffed at it, saith the Lord of 
hosts: and ye brought that which 
ivas torn, and the lame, and the 
sick; thus ye brought an offering: 
should ° I accept this of your hand ? 
saith the Lord. 

14 But p cursed be the deceiver, 
8 which hath in his flock a male, 
and voweth, and sacririceth unto 
the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am 
a great King, saith the Lord of 
hosts, and my name is dreadful 
among the heathen. 

CHAPTER IL 

1 The priests are sharply reproved for 
profaning the, covenant given them ; 11 
and the people for strange marriages, 
13 treachery, 17 and impiety. 

AND now, ye priests, this 
commandment is for you. 

2 If * ye will not hear, and if ye 
will not lay it to heart, to give 
glory unto my name, saith the 
Lord of hosts, I will even send a 
curse upon you, and I will curse 
your blessings; yea, I have cursed 
them already, because ye do not 
Jay it to heart. 

3 Behold, 1 will * corrupt your 
seed, and 2 spread dung upon your 
faces, even the dung of your solemn 
feasts; and 3 one shall take you 
away with it. 

4 And ye shall know that I have 
sent this commandment unto you, 
that my covenant might be with 
Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. 

5 My b covenant was with him of 
life and peace; and I gave them to 
him ° for the fear wherewith he 
feared me, and was afraid before 
my name. 

6 The law of truth was in his 
mouth, and iniquity was not found 
in his lips: he walked with me in 
peace and equity, and did d turn 
many away from iniquity. 

7 For ' the priest's lips should 
keep knowledge, and they should 
seek the law at his mouth: / for he 
is the messenger of the Lord of 
hosts. 

8 But ye are departed out of the 
way ; ye have 9 caused many to 
4 stumble at the law; ye have cor- 
rupted the covenant of Levi, saith 
the Lord of hosts. 

9 Therefore have I also made you 
contemptible and base before all 
the people, according as ye have 
not kept my ways, but & have been 
partial in the law.

hath * not one God created us? 
why do we deal treacherously every 
man against his brother, by pro- 
faning the covenant of our fathers? 

11 H Judah hath dealt treacher- 
ously, and an abomination is com- 
mitted in Israel and in Jerusalem; 
for Judah hath profaned the holi- 
ness of the Lord which he 6 loved, 
and i hath married the daughter 
of a strange god. 

12 The Lord will cut off the man 
that doeth this, 7 the master and 
the scholar, out of the tabernacles 
of Jacob, and him that offereth an 
offering unto the Lord of hosts. 

13 And this have ye done again, 
covering the altar of the Lord 
with tears, with weeping and with 
crying out, insomuch that he re- 
gardeth not the offering any more, 
or receiveth it with good will at 
your hand. 

14 Yet ye say, "Wherefore? Be- 
cause the Lord hath been witness 
between thee and the wife of thy 
youth, against whom thou hast 
dealt treacherously: yet is she thy 
companion, and the wife of thy 
covenant. 

15 And k did not he make one? 
Yet had he the 8 residue of the 
Spirit. And wherefore one? That 
he might seek 9 a godly seed. 
Therefore take heed to your spirit, 
and let none deal 10 treacherously 
against the wife of his youth. 

16 For i the Lord, the God of 
Israel, saith u that he hateth 
12 putting away: for one covereth 
violence with his garment, saith 
the Lord of hosts: therefore take 
heed to your spirit, that ye deal 
not treacherously. 

17 U" Ye have wearied the Lord 
with your words: yet ye say, 
Wherein have we wearied him? 
When ye say, Every one that 
doeth evil is good in the sight of 
the Lord, and he delighteth in 
them ; or, Where is the God of 
judgment?

senger, and he shall b prepare 
the way before me: and c the Lord 
whom ye seek, shall suddenly come 
to his temple, d even the messenger 
of the covenant, whom ye delight 
in: behold, 6 he shall come, saith 
the Lord of hosts.

Elijah's coming and office. 



2 But who may abide the day of 
his coming? and-'' who shall stand 
when he appeareth? for 9 he is 
like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's 



3 And h he shall sit as a refiner 
and purifier of silver: and he shall 
purify the sons of Levi, and purge 
them as gold and silver, that they 
may offer * unto the Lord an 
offering in righteousness. 

4 Then shall the offering of Judah 
and Jerusalem be pleasant unto 
the Lord, as in the days of old, 
and as in * former years. 

5 And I f will come near to you 
to judgment;>ndl will be a swift 
witness against the sorcerers, and 
against the adulterers, and k against 
false swearers, and against those 
that 2 oppress the hireling in his 
wages, the widow, and the father- 
less, and that turn aside the 
stranger from his riglti, and fear 
not me, saith the Lord of hosts. 

6 For I am the Lord, 1 1 change 
not; therefore m ye sons of Jacob 
are not consumed. 

7 % Even from the days of n your 
fathers ye are gone away from 
mine ordinances, and have not 
kept them. ° Keturn unto me, and 
I will return unto you, saith 
tbe Lord of hosts. But ye said, 
Wherein shall we return? 

8 % Will a man rob God? Yet ye 
have robbed me. But ye say, 
Wherein have we robbed thee, 
In p tithes and offerings. 

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for 
ye have robbed me, even this whole 
nation. 

10 Bring 8 ye all the tithes r into 
the storehouse, that there may be 
meat in mine house, and prove 
me now herewith, saith the Lord 
of hosts, if I will not open you the 
windows * of heaven, and 3 pour 
you out a blessing, that there 
shall not be room enough to receive 
it. 

11 And I will rebuke { the de- 
vourer for your sakes, and he shall 
not 4 destroy the fruits of your 
ground; neither shall your vine 
cast her fruit before the time in 
the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

blessed: for ye shall be M a delight-

do wickedly, shall be stubble: and 
the day that cometh shall burn

that it shall leave them neither 
root nor branch. 

2 *J But unto you that fear my 
name shall the ° Sun of righteous- 
ness arise with healing in his 
wings; and ye shall go forth, and 
grow up as calves of the stall. 

3 And b ye shall tread down the 
wicked; for they shall be ashes

day that I shall do this, saith the 
Lord of hosts.

5 Behold, I will send you d Elijah

the heart of the children to their 
fathers, lest I come and smite the 
earth with 9 a curse.

Moses, who was then encamped at the foot of mount 
Sinai. The commission given to these judges is re- 
corded in Deut. i, 16, 17. Afterwards, we have the 
particular appointment of God concerning'this, Num. 
xi, 11. These elders, who composed the Senate be- 
longing to all the tribes in general, sat with the 
Leader, Judge, or King, who presided in this court. 
Elder, in the New Testament, is a general name, 
comprehending under it all such as have any eccles- 
iastical function, as apostles, pastors, teachers, or 
other church officers, 1 Tim. v, 17; Titus, i, 5; 1 
Peter, v, 1.

chief good. Acts, xvii, 18. 

HERODIANS, a political party, who complied 
with many heathen practices to ingratiate themselves 
with Herod and the Romans. Mat. xxii, 16; Mark, 
viii, 15. 

JUDGES, temporary supreme governors, imme- 
diately appointed.by God over the children of Israel. 

LIBERTINES, Jews or proselytes, free citizens of 
Rome. They had a separate synagogue in Jerusa- 
lem. Acts, vi, 9. 

NAZAR1TES, persons devoted to the service of 
God, either for a certain time, (Num. vi,) or during 
life, as Samson, Samuel, and John the Baptist. 
Judges, xvi, 17; 1 Sam. i, 11; Luke, i, 15; Acts, xviii, 
18, and xxi, 23. 

NETHINIMS, inferior servants to the priests and 
Levites, (not of their tribe,) appointed to draw water 
and cleave wood. 

NICOLAITANES, a sect of immoral professors of 
Christianity, who participated in the sacrifices of 
the idolaters, indulged in the vilest impurities, and 
imputed their wickedness to God as the cause. They 
held a multitude of fables concerning the generation 
of angels, and the creation of the world by subordi- 
nate powers. Rev. ii, 22. 

PATRIARCHS, fathers of families, such as Abra- 
ham, Isaac, and Jacob, and his sons. Acts, ii, 29; 
vii, 8; Heb. vii, 4. 

PHARISEES, or Separatists, a large and popular 
sect among the Jews, which included the greater 
portion of the scribes and doctors of the law. They 
distinguished themselves above all others in preten- 
sions to sanctity, and in their scrupulous observance 
of the ceremonial law and the rabbinical traditions. 

PRIESTS, under the Law. were persons appointed 
by God to teach his will to the people, and to offer 
up sacrifices and intercessions for the guilty. The 
Priesthood was not annexed to a certain family, till 
after the promulgation of the law of Moses. Before 
that time, the first-born of every family, the fathers, 
the princes, and the kings, were priests. Cain and 
Abel, Noah, Abraham and Job, Abimelech and La- 
ban, Isaac and Jacob, offered their own sacrifices. 
In the solemnity of the covenant that the Lord made 
with his people at the foot of mount Sinai, Moses 
performed the office of mediator, and young men 
were chosen from among the children of Israel to 
perform the office of Priests. (Exod. xxiv, 5.) But 
after that the Lord had chosen the tribe of Levi to 
serve him in his tabernacle, and that the priesthood 
was annexed to the family of Aaron, then the right 
of offering sacrifices to God was reserved to the 
priests alone of his family, Numbers, xvi, 40. The 



high priest only had the privilege of entering into 
the sanctuary once a year, which was the day of 
solemn expiation, to make atonement for the sins of 
the whole people. Lev. xvi, 2-4, etc. God had also 
appropriated to his person the oracle of his truth; 
■so that when he was habited with the proper orna- 
ments of his dignity, and with the Urim and Thum- 
mim, he gave answers to the questions made to him, 
and God discovered to him secret and future things, 
Exod. xxviii,- 30. The term Priest, is most properly 
given to Christ, of whom the high priests under the 
law were types and figures, he being the High Priest, 
especially ordained of God, who by the sacrifice of 
himself, once offered by himself, and also by his inter- 
cession, might reconcile all true believers unto God, 
and keep them for ever in his favour, Heb. vii, 17; 
ix, 11, 12, 24. The word is also applied to every true 
believer, who is enabled to offer up spiritual sacri- 
fices of prayer and praise to God through Jesus 
Christ, 1 Pet. ii, 5; Rev- i, 6. 

PROPHETS, persons who were inspired by God 
to declare his will, and foretell events to come. 

PROSELYTES, were of two kinds, Proselytes of 
the Gate, and Proselytes of Justice. The first are 
those who dwelt in the land of Israel, or even out of 
that country, and who, without obliging themselves 
to circumcision, or to any other ceremony of the 
law, feared and worshipped the true God, observing 
the rules that were imposed upon the children of 
Noah Of this number were Naaman the Syrian, 
Cornelius the centurion, the eunuch of Queen Can- 
dace, and others- The Proselytes of Justice are those 
who were converted to Judaism, who had engaged 
themselves to receive circumcision, and to observe 
the whole law of Moses. Thus they were admitted 
to all the prerogatives of the people of God. 

PUBLICANS, collectors of the Roman tribute. 

RABBI, a Doctor or Master. 

SADDUCEES, followers of Sadoc, who lived B. C. 
260. Sadoc was a disciple of Antigonus Socchceus.who 
imbibed those notions which were entertained by 
the Sadducees from Simon the Just, a high priest of 
the Jews. The Sadducees. were strict observers of 
the law, but denied the immortality of the soul, and 
pretended that the angels mentioned in Scripture 
were merely illusions. 

SAMARITANS, descendants of the Babylonians, 
Cuthites, Avites, Hamathites, and Sepharvites, 
brought by Shalmaneser to possess the cities of the 
ten tribes of Israel, whom he had carried away cap- 
tivet Here they continued their idolatrous practices, 
somewhat blended with the Jewish religion,2 Kings, 
xvii. Afterwards they became partially reformed, 
and worshipped only the God of Israel. A keen 
contention always existed between them and the 
J ews, who regarded the Samaritans as the worst of 
men, and possessed by the devil, John, iv, 9; viii, 
48. At present, the Samaritans are few in number; 
they pretend to great strictness in their observance 
of the law of Moses, and account the Jews intoler- 
ably lax. 

SCRIBES. There are three orders of Scribes 
mentioned in Scripture. 1. The Secretaries, who 
were employed in the court of the kings to register 
the affairs of the State- 2. The Commissaries, who 
enrolled and reviewed the army. 3. Doctors of the 
Law, and transcribers of the Sacred Books. These 
scribes were a most wicked class in the time of our 
Saviour. Matt, xxiii. 

STOICS, followers of Zeno, a Cyprian philosopher, 
who flourished B. C. 350. Prom his teaching his 
scholars in the Stoa or Porch at Athens, they were 
named Stoics, or porchers. They held that a wise 
man ought to be free from all passions, and ought 
never to be moved with joy or grief; that wisdom 
alone renders men happy, and that all things are 
ordered by fate. Acts, xvii, 18. 

TETRARCHS ,who had kingly power in four pro- 
vinces. 

T1RSHATHA, or Governor, appointed by the 
kings of Assyria or Persia

generations; and from David until

the carrying away into Babylon

tions. 

18 fl Now the n birth of Jesus 
Christ was on this wise: When as 
his mother Mary was espoused to 
Joseph, before they came together, 
she was found with child of the 
Holy .Ghost. 

19 Then Joseph her husband, 
being a just man, ° and not willing 
to make her a public example, was 
minded to put her away privily. 

20 But while he thought on these 
things, behold, the angel of the 
Lord appeared unto him in a 
dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of 
David, fear not to take unto thee 
Mary thy wife; p for that which is 

2 conceived in her is of the Holy 
Ghost. 

21 And she shall bring forth a 
son, and thou shalt call his name 

3 JESUS; for q he shall save his 
people from their sins. 

22 (Now all this was done, that it 
might be fulfilled which was 
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, 
saying, 

23 Behold, r a virgin shall be 
with child, and shall bring forth a 
son, and 4 they shall call his name 
Emmanuel, which, being inter- 
preted, is, s God with us.) 

24 Then Joseph, being raised 
from sleep, did as the angel of 
the Lord had bidden him, and 
took unto him his wife; 

25 And knew her not till she 
had brought forth her first-born 
son: and he called his name 
JESUS. 

CHAPTEE LL 

1 Wise men enquire after Christ: 11 
they ivorship him, and offer presents. 13 
Josephfieeth into Egypt with Jesus and 
Mary. 16 Herod slayeth the children at 
Bethlehem: 19 Christ brought out , of 
■Egypt. 

NOW when a Jesus was born in 
Bethlehem of Judea, in the 
days of Herod the king, behold, 
there came wise men 6 from the 
east to Jerusalem, 
2 Saying, c Where is he that is 
born King of the Jews? for we 



Joseph fleeth into Egypt. 



MATTHEW, ni Herod slays the children at Btthlehem. 



have seen his d star in the east, and 
are come to worship him. 

3 When Herod the king had heard 
these things, he was troubled, and 
all Jerusalem with him. 

4 And when he had gathered all 
the e chief priests and/scribes of the 
people together, 9 he demanded of 
them where Christ should be 
born. 

5 And they said unto him^ In 
Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is 
written by the prophet, 

6 And b thou, Bethlehem, in the 
land of Juda, art not the least 
among the princes of Juda: for 
out of thee shall come a Governor, 
that * shall l rule my people Israel. 

7 Then Herod, when he had 
privily called the wise men, 
enquired of them diligently what 
time the star appeared. 

8 And he sent them to Bethle- 
hem, and said, Go and search 
diligently for the young child; and 
when ye have found him, bring me 
word again, that I may come and 
worship him also. 

9 When they had heard the king, 
they departed; and, lo, the star, 
which they saw in the east, went 
before them, till it came and 
stood over where the young child 
was. 

10 When they saw the star, they 
rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 

11 ^f And when they were come 
into the house, they saw the young 
child with Mary his mother, and 
fell down and i worshipped him : 
and when they had opened their 
treasures, they 2 presented unto 
him gifts; gold, and frankincense, 
and myrrh. 

12 And being warned of God * in 
a dream that they should not re- 
turn to Herod, they departed into 
their own country another way. 

13 ^T And when they were de- 

Earted, behold, the angel of the 
iord appeareth to Joseph in a 
dream, saying, Arise, and take the 
young child and his mother, and 
flee into Egypt, and be thou there 
until I bring thee word: for Herod 
will seek the young child to destroy 
him. 

14= When he arose, he took the 
young child and his mother by 
night, and departed into Egypt; 

15 And was there until the death 
of Herod: that it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken of the Lord by 
the prophet, saying, l Out of Egypt 
have I called my son.

16 ^ Then Herod, when he saw 
that he was mocked of the wise 
men, was exceeding wroth, and 
sent forth, and slew all the children 
that were in Bethlehem, and in 
all the coasts thereof, from two 
years old and under, according to 
the time which he had dihgently 
enquired of the wise men. 

17 Then was fulfilled that which 
was spoken by m Jeremy the pro- 
phet, saying, 

18 In Bama was there a voice 
heard, lamentation, and weeping, 
and great mourning, Bachel weep- 
ing for her children, and would 
not be comforted, because they are 
not. 

19 % But when Herod was dead, 
behold, an angel of the Lord ap- 
peareth in a dream to Joseph in 
Egypt, 

20 Saying, Arise, and take the 
young child and his mother, and 
go into the land of Israel: for they 
are dead which sought the young 
child's life. 

21 And he arose, and took the 
young child and his mother, and 
came into the land of Israel. 

22 But when he heard that 
Archelaus did reign in Judea in 
the room of his father Herod, he 
was afraid to go thither : notwith- 
standing, being warned of God in 
a dream, he turned aside n into the 
parts of Galilee : 

23 And he came and dwelt in a 
city ° called Nazareth: that it 
might be fulfilled * which was 
spoken by the prophets, He shall 
be called a 3 Nazarene. 

CHAPTER HI. 

1 John preacheth; his office, 5 and bap- 
tism: 7 he rebuketh the Pharisees. 13 
Christ baptized by John in Jordan. 

IN those days came a John the 
Baptist, preaching 6 in the wil- 
derness of Judea, 

2 And saying, Repent ye: c for 
the kingdom of heaven is at 
hand. 

3 For this is he that was spoken 
of by the prophet Esaias, saying, 
The d voice of one crying in the 
wilderness, e Prepare ye the way 
of the Lord, make his paths 
straight 

4 And / the same John 9 had his 
raiment of camel's hair, and a 
leathern girdle about his loins; 
and his meat was h locusts and 
wild i honey.

salem, and all Judea, and all the 
region round about Jordan, 

6 And J were baptised of him in 
Jordan, confessing their sins. 

7 But when he saw many of the 
Pharisees and Sadducees come to 
his baptism, he said unto them, 
generation of vipers, who hath 
warned you to fiee from * the 
wrath to come? 

8 Bring forth therefore fruits l meet 
for repentance: 

9 And think not to say within 
yourselves, l "We have Abraham to 
our father: for I say unto you, 
that God is able of these stones 
to raise up children unto Abraham. 

10 And now also the ax is laid 
unto the root of the trees: m there- 
fore every tree which bringeth not 
forth good fruit is hewn down, and 
cast into the fire. 

11 I " indeed baptize you with 
water unto repentance : but he 
that cometh after me is mightier 
than I, whose shoes I am not 
worthy to bear: ° he shall baptize 
you with the Holy Ghost, and 
with fire: 

12 Whose fan is in his hand, 
and he will throughly p purge his 
floor, and gather his wheat into 
the garner; but he will q burn 
up the chaff with unquenchable 
fire. 

13 ^ Then cometh Jesus r from 
Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be 
baptized of him. 

14 But John forbade him, .saying, 
I have need to be baptized of thee, 
and comest thou to me? 

15 And Jesus answering said unto 
him, Suffer it to be so now: for 
thus it becometh us to * fulfil all 
righteousness. Then he suffered 
him. 

16 And * Jesus, when he was 
baptized, went up straightway 
out of the water: and, lo, the 
heavens were opened unto him, 
and he saw u the Spirit of God 
descending like a dove, and light- 
ing upon him: 

17 And v lo a voice from heaven, 
saying, w This is my beloved Son, 
in whom I am well pleased. 

CHAPTER IY. 

1 Christ fasteth, is tempted, and over- 
cometh: 17 he beginneth to preach; 18 he 
calleth Peter and Andrew: 23 heteacheth 
in the synagogue, and healeth the 
diseased, 

THEN was a Jesus led up of h the 
Spirit into the wilderness to 
be e tempted of the devil.

2 And when he had d fasted forty 
days and forty nights, he was 
afterward an hungered. 

3 And when the tempter came to 
him, he said, If thou be the Son of 
God, command that these stones 
be made bread. 

4 But he answered and said, 6 It 
is written, / Man shall not five by 
bread alone, but by every word 
that proceedeth out of the mouth 
of God. 

5 Then the devil taketh him. up 
into 9 the holy city, and setteth 
him on a pinnacle of the temple, 

6 And saith unto him, If thou be 
the Son of God, cast thyself down : 
for it is written, h He shall give his 
angels charge concerning thee; 
and in their hands they shall bear 
thee up, lest at any time thou dash 
thy foot against a stone. 

7 Jesus said unto him, It is writ- 
ten again, * Thou shalt not tempt 
the Lord thy God. 

8 Again, the devil taketh him up 
into an exceeding high mountain, 
and showeth him. all the kingdoms 
of the world, and the glory of 
them; 

9 And saith unto him, All these 
things will I give thee, if thou wilt 
fall down and worship me. 

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, 
Get thee hence, Satan: for it is 
written, i Thou shalt worship the 
Lord thy God, and him only shalt 
thou serve. 

11 Then the devil h leaveth him; 
and, behold, l angels came and 
ministered unto him. 

12 f Now m when Jesus had heard 
that John was x cast into prison, 
he departed into Galilee; 

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came 
and dwelt in Capernaum, which 
is upon the sea coast, in the bor- 
ders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 

14 That it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken by Esaias the 
prophet, saying, 

15 The n land of Zabulon, and

sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, 
Simon * called Peter, and Andrew 
his brother, casting a net into the 
sea: for they were fishers. 

19 And he saith unto them, Fol- 
low me, and I ' will make you 
fishers of men 

20 And u they straightway left 
tMr nets, and followed him. 

21 And * going on from thence, 
he saw other two brethren, James 
the son of Zebedee, and John his 
brother, in a ship with Zebedee 
their father, mending their nets; 
and he called them. 

22 And they immediately left 
the ship and their father, and fol- 
lowed him. 

23 \ And Jesus went about all 
Galilee, teaching w in their syna- 
gogues, and preaching the gospel 
of the kingdom, and healing all 
manner of sickness and all manner 
of disease among the people. 

24 And his x fame went through- 
out all Syria: and they brought 
unto him all sick people that were 
taken with divers diseases and 
torments, and those which were 
possessed with devils, and those 
which were lunatic, and those 
that had the palsy; and he healed 
them. 

25 And there followed him great 
multitudes of people from Galilee, 
and from Decapolis, and from Jeru- 
salem, and from Judea, and from 
beyond Jordan.

3 Who are blessed. 13 The disciples called 

the salt of the earth, and light of the 

world; Christ urgeth on them a good 

example, etc. 

AND seeing the multitudes, a he 
went up into a mountain: and 
when he was set, his disciples came 
unto him: 

2 And he opened his mouth, and 
taught them, saying, 

3 Blessed 6 are the poor in spirit: 
for theirs is the kingdom of 
heaven. 

4 Blessed c are they that mourn : 
for they shall be comforted. 

5 Blessed d are the meek: for e they

10 Blessed k are they which are

11 Blessed are ye when men shall 
revile you, and persecute you, and 
shall say all manner of evil against 
you 1 falsely, for my sake. 

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; 
for great is your reward in heaven: 
for so persecuted they the prophets 
which were before you. 

13 y Ye are the salt of the earth: 
but if the salt have lost his savour, 
wherewith shall it be salted? it is 
thenceforth good for nothing, but 
to be cast out, and to be trodden

14 Ye l are the light of the world. 
A city that is set on an hill can - 
not be hid. 

15 Neither do men light a candle, 
and put it under a a busheL but 
on a candlestick; and it giveth 
light unto all that are in the 
house. 

16 Let your light so shine before 
men, that m they may see your 
good works, and glorify n your 
Father which is in heaven. 

17 % Think ° not that I am come 
to destroy the Law, or the Pro- 
phets: I am not come to destroy, 
but to fulfil. 

18 For verily I say unto you, 
Till p heaven and earth pass, one 
jot or one tittle shall in no wise 
pass from the law, till all be ful- 
filled. 

19 Whosoever q therefore shall 
break one of these least command- 
ments, and shall teach men so, he 
shall be called the least in the 
kingdom of heaven: but whosoever 
shall do and teach them, the same 
shall be called great in the king- 
dom of heaven. 

20 For I say unto you, That 
except your righteousness shall 
exceed r the righteousness of the 
scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in 
no case enter into the kingdom of 
heaven. 

21 % Ye have heard that it was 
said 3 by them of old time, Thou

Thou 5 fool! shah be in danger of

23 Therefore, if thou bring thy 
gift to the altar, and there remem- 
berest that thy brother hath ought 
against thee; 

24 Leave u there thy gift before 
the altar, and go thy way; first be 
reconciled to thy brother, and 
then come and offer thy gift

quickly, whiles w thou art in the 
way with him- lest at any time 
the adversary deliver thee to the

to the officer, and thou be cast

26 Verily I say unto thee, * Thou 
shalt by no means come out 
thence, till thou, hast paid the 
uttermost farthing. 

27 % Ye have heard that it was 
said by them of old time, Thou 
shalt not commit adultery:

whosoever looketh y on a woman 
to lust after her hath committed 
adultery with her already in his 
heart. 

29 And z if thy right eye 6 offend 
thee, pluck it out, and cast it from 
thee: for it is profitable for thee 
that one of thyrmembers should 
perish, and not that thy whole body 
should be cast into hell. 

30 And if thy right hand offend 
thee, cut it off, and cast it from

tery.

37 But 9 let your communication

39 But I say unto you, * That ye

curse you, do good to them that 
hate you, and pray ?for them 
which despitefully use you, and 
persecute you; 

45 That ye may be the children 
of your Father which is in heaven: 
for he maketh his sun to rise on 
the evil and on the good, and 
sendeth rain on the just and on 
the unjust. 

46 For 2 if ye love them which 
love you, what reward have ye? 
do not even the publicans the 
same? 

47 And if ye salute your brethren 
only, what do ye more ifian others? 
do not even the publicans so?

as s your Father which is in

1 Of alms, 5 prayer, 14 forgiveness. 19 
Our treasure. 24 Of God and mam- 
mon. 
TAKE heed that ye do not your 
_ 1 alms before men, to be seen 
of them; otherwise ye have no 
reward 2 of your Father which is 
in heaven. 

2 Therefore, a when thou doest 
thine alms, 3 do not sound a trum- 
pet before thee, as the hypocrites 
do in the synagogues and in the 
streets, that they may have glory 
of men. Verily I say unto you, 
They have their reward. 

3 But when thou doest alms, let 



Christ teacheih how to pray. 



MATTHEW, VI. He enjoins godly contentment. 



A. D. 31. 



not thy left hand know what thy 
right hand doeth; 

4 That thine alms may be in 
secret: and thy Father which seeth 
in secret himself shall reward thee 
openly. 

5 % And when thou prayestj thou 
shalt not be as the hypocrites are: 
for they love to pray standing in 
the synagogues and in the corners 
of the streets, that they may be 
seen of men. Verily I say unto 
you, They have their reward. 

6 But thou, when thou prayest, 
enter h into thy closet, and when 
thou hast shut thy door, pray to 
thy Father which is in secret; and 
thy Father c which seeth in secret 
shall reward thee openly. 

7 But when ye pray, d use not 
vain repetitions, as the heathen 
do: 6 for they think that they shall 
be heard for their much speaking. 

8 Be not ye therefore like unto 
them: for your / Father knoweth 
what things ye have need of before 
ye ask him. 

9 After this manner therefore 
pray ye : 9 Our Father which art 
in heaven, h Hallowed be thy 
name. 

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy 
will be done in earth, * as it is in 
heaven. 

11 Give us this day our i daily 
bread. 

12 And forgive us our debts, as 
we forgive our debtors. 

13 And * lead us not into tempta- 
tion, but deliver l us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the 
power, and the glory, for ever. 
Amen. 

14 For m if ye forgive men then- 
trespasses, your heavenly Father 
will also forgive you: 

15 But n if ye forgive not men 
their trespasses, neither will your 
Father forgive your trespasses. 

16 f Moreover, ° when ye fast, be 
not, as the hypocrites, of a sad 
countenance: for they disfigure 
their faces, that they maj T appear 
unto men to fast. Verily I say 
unto you, They have their reward. 

17 But thou, when thou fastest, 
anoint thine head, and wash thy 
face; 

18 That thou appear not unto 
men to fast, but unto thy Father 
which is in secret: and thy Father, 
which seeth in secret, shall reward 
thee openly. 

19 f Lay p not up for yourselves 5 anxious 
treasures upon eavtb, where moth 1 thought.

and rust doth corrupt, and where 
thieves break through and steal: 

20 But q lay up for yourselves 
treasures in heaven, where neither 
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and 
where thievesdo not break through 
nor steal : 

21 For where your treasure is, 
there will your heart be also. 

22 The r light of the body is the 
eye: if therefore thine eye be single, 
thy whole body shall be full of light. 

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy 
whole body shall be full of dark- 
ness. If therefore the light that 
is in thee be darkness, * how great 
is that darkness! 

24 No ' man can serve two mas- 
ters: for either he will hate tbe 
one, and love the other; or else he 
will hold to the one, and despise 
the other. u Ye cannot serve God 
and mammon. 

25 Therefore I say unto you, 
4 Take no thought for your life, 
what ye shall eat, or what ye shall 
drink; nor yet for your body, what 
ye shall put on. Is not the life 
more than meat, and the body 
than raiment ? 

26 Behold * the fowls of the air: 
for they sow not, neither do they 
reap, nor gather into barns; yet 
your heavenly Father feedeth 
them. Are ye not much better 
than they ? 

27 Which of you, by taldng 
thought, can add one cubit unto 
his stature ? 

28 And why take ye thought for 
raiment? Consider the lilies of 
the field, how they grow: they toil 
not, neither do they spin : 

29 And yet I say unto you, That 
even Solomon in all his glory was 
not arrayed like one of these. 

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe 
the grass of the field, which to-day 
is, and to-morrow is cast into the 
oven, shall he not much more clothe 
you, O ye of little faith ? 

31 Therefore take no thought, 
saying, What shall we eat? or, 
What shall we drink? or, Where- 
withal shall we be clothed? 

32 (For after all these things do 
the Gentiles seek:) for w your 
heavenly Father knoweth that ye 
have need of all these things. 

33 But *seek ye first the king- 
dom of God, and his righteousness; 
and all these things shall be added 
unto you. 

34 Take therefore no s thought 
for the morrow: for the morrow

of itself. Sufficient unto the day

CHAPTER YH. 

1 Christ, ending his sermon on the mount, 
reproveth rash judgment, Gforbiddethto 
cast holy things to dogs, 7 exhorteth to 
prayer, 13 to enter in at the strait gate. 

JUDGE a not, that ye he not 
judged. 

2 For with what judgment ye 
judge, ye shall he judged: 6 and 
with what measure ye mete, it shall 
be measured to you again. 

3 And c why beholdest thou the 
mote that is in thy brother's eye, 
but considerest not the beam that 
is in thine own eye? 

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy 
brother, Let me pull out the mote 
out of thine eye; and, behold, a 
beam is in thine own eye? 

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out 
the beam out of thine own eye; 
and then shalt thou see clearly to 
cast out the mote out of thy 
brother's eye. 

6 ^ Give d not that which is holy 
unto the dogs, neither cast ye your 
pearls before swine, lest they 
trample them under their feet, and 
turn again and rend you. 

7 f Ask, e and it shall be given 
you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto you: 

8 For /every one that asketh 
receiveth; and he that seeketh 
findeth; andto him that knocketh 
it shall be opened. 

9 Or what man is there of you, 
whom if his son ask bread, will he 
give him a stone? 

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give 
him a serpent? 

11 If ye then, being evil, know 
how to give good gifts unto your 
children, how much 9 more shall 
your Father which is in heaven 
give good things to them that ask 

12 Therefore all things h whatso- 
ever ye would that men should do 
to you, do ye even so to them: for 
this * is the Law and the Prophets.

gate: & for wide is the gate, and 
broad is the way, that leadeth to 
destruction, and many there be

clothing, but inwardly they " are 
ravening wolves. 

16 Ye shall know them by their 
fruits. ° Do men gather grapes of 
thorns, or figs of thistles? 

17 Even so p every good tree 
bringeth forth good fruit; but a 
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil 
fruit. 

18 A good tree cannot bring forth 
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt 
tree bring forth good fruit. 

19 Every tree that bringeth not 
forth good fruit is hewn down, and 
cast into the fire. 

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye 
sliall know them. 

21 ^ Not every one that saith 
unto me, q Lord, Lord, shall enter 
into the kingdom of heaven; but 
he that doeth the will of my Father 
which is in heaven. 

22 Many will say to me in that 
day, Lord, Lord, have we r not 
prophesied in thy name? and in 
thy name have cast out devils? and 
in thy name done many wonderful 
works? 

23 And then will I profess unto 
them, I never knew you: s depart 
from me, ye that work iniquity. 

24 ^f Therefore, t whosoever heareth 
these sayings of mine, and doeth 
them, I will liken him unto a wise 
man, which built his house upon a 
rock: 

25 And w the rain descended, and 
the floods came, and the winds 
blew, and beat upon that house; 
and v it fell not: for it was founded 
upon a rock. 

26 And every one that heareth 
these sayings of mine, and doeth 
them not, shall be likened unto a 
foolish man, which built his house 
upon the sand: 

27 And the rain descended, and 
the floods came, and the winds 
blew, and beat upon that house; 
and it fell: 7 and great was the fall 
of it. 

28 ^f And it came to pass, when 
Jesus had ended these sayings, x the 
people were astonished at his 
doctrine: 

29 For y he taught them as one 
having authority, and not as the 
scribes. 

CHAPTER V1TL 

2 Clirist cleanseth the leper, '5 healeth the 

centurion's servant, 14 Peter's motTier- 

in-law, 16 and many other diseased; 23 

stilleth the tempest. 

WHEN he was come down from 
the mountain, great multi- 
tudes followed him. 



Christ healeth many sick. 



MATTHEW, VIII. Re stilleth a tempest on the sea. 



2 And, "behold, there came a 
leper and worshipped him, saying, 
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make 
me clean. 

3 And Jesus put forth his hand, 
and touched him, saying, 1 will; 
be thou clean. And immediately 
his leprosy was cleansed. 

4 And Jesus saith unto him, l See 
thou tell no man; but go thy way, 
show thyself to the priest, and offer 
the gift that c Moses commanded, 
for a testimony unto them. 

5 ^ And d when Jesus was entered 
into Capernaum, there came unto 
him a centurion, beseeching him, 

6 And saying, Lord, my servant 
lieth at home sick of the palsy, 
grievously tormented. 

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will 
come and heal him. 

8 The centurion answered and 
said, Lord, I e am not worthy that 
thou shouldest come under my 
roof: but /speak the word only, and 
my servant shall be healed. 

9 For I am a man under authority, 
having soldiers under me: and I 
say to this man, Go, and he goeth; 
and to another, Come, and he 
cometh; and to my servant, Do 
this, and he doeth it. 

10 When Jesus heard it, he mar- 
velled, and said to them that 
followed, Verily I say unto you, I 
have not found so great faith, no, 
not in Israel. 

11 And 1 say unto you, ^That 
many shall come from the east and 
west, and shall sit down with 
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, 
in the kingdom of heaven: 

12 But h the children of the king- 
dom * shall be cast out into outer 
darkness: there shall be weeping 
and gnashing of teeth. 

13 And Jesus said unto the 
centurion, Go thy way; and as 
thou hast believed, so be it done 
unto thee. And his servant was 
healed in the self-same hour. 

14 \ And $ when Jesus was come 
into Peter's house, he saw *his 
wife's mother laid, and sick of a 
fever. 

1 5 And he touched her hand, and 
the fever left her: and she arose, 
and ministered unto them. 

16 \ When { the even was come, 
they brought unto him many that 
were possessed with devils: and he 
cast out the spirits with his word, 
and healed all that were sick: 

17 That it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by Esaias the prophet,

saying, Himself m took our infirm- 
ities, and bare our sicknesses. 

18 % Now when Jesus saw great 
multitudes about him, he gave 
commandment to depart vmio the 
other side. 

19 And n a certain scribe came, 
and said unto him, Master, I will 
follow thee whithersoever thou 
goest. 

,20 And Jesus saith unto him, The 
foxes have holes, and the birds of 
the air have nests; but ° the Son of 
manhath not where to lay his head. 

21 And p another of his disciples 
said unto him, Lord, q suffer me 
first to go and bury my father. 

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow 
me; and let r the dead bury their 
dead. 

23 f And when he was entered 
into a ship, his disciples followed 
him. 

24 And, s behold, there arose a 
great tempest in the sea, insomuch 
that the ship was covered with the 
waves: but he was asleep. 

25 And his disciples came to him, 
and awoke him, saying, Lord, 
save us: we perish. 

26 And he saith unto them, 
Why * are ye fearful, O ye of little 
faith? Then u he arose, and re- 
buked the winds and the sea; and 
there was a great calm. 

27 But the men marvelled, saying, 
What manner of man is this, that 
even the winds and the sea obey 
him! 

28 ^ And v when he was come to 
the other side, into the country of 
the Gergesenes, there met him two 
possessed with devils, coming out 
of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so 
that no man might pass by that 
way. 

29 And, behold, they cried out, 
saying, What w have we to do with 
thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art 
thou come hither to torment us 
before the time? 

30 And there was a good way ofl 
from them an herd of many x swine 
feeding. 

31 So the devils v besought him, 
saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us 
to go away into the herd of swine. 

32 And he said unto them, Go. 
And when they were come out, 
they went into the herd of swine: 
and, behold, the whole herd of 
swine ran violently down a steep 
place into the sea, and perished 
in the waters. 

33 And they that kept them fled, 



Christ heals one sick of the palsy. MATTHEW, IX. 



He raiseth a ruler's daughter. 



and went their ways into the city, 
and told every thing, and what 
was befallen to the possessed of 
the devils. 

34 And, behold, the whole city 
came out to meet Jesus: and when 
they saw him, they z besought him 
that he would depart out of their 
coasts. 

CHAPTEE IX. 

1 Christ cureth the palsy, 9 calleth 
Matthew, 10 justijiethnimself for eating 
with publicans and sinners: 20 he healeth 
the Moody issue; 23 raiseth to life the 
ruler's daughter; 27 giveth sight to two 
blind men, etc. 

AND he entered into a ship, and 
passed over, a and came into 
his own city. 

2 And, b behold, they brought to 
him a man sick of the palsy, lying 
on a bed: c and Jesus, seeing their 
faith, said unto the sick of the 
palsy, Son, be of good cheer; d thy 
sins be forgiven thee. 

3 And, behold, certain of the 
scribes said within themselves, 
This man blasphemeth. 

4 And Jesus, 6 knowing their 
thoughts, said, Wherefore think 
ye evil in your hearts? 

5 For whether is easier, to say, 
Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to 
say, Arise, and walk? 

6 But that ye may know that 
the ^Son of man hath power on 
earth to forgive sins, (then saith 
he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, 
take up thy bed, and go unto thine 
house. 

7 And he arose, and departed to 
his house. 

8 But when the multitudes saw 
it, they marvelled, and glorified 
God, which had given such power 
unto men. 

9 % And g as Jesus passed forth 
from thence, he saw a man, named 
Matthew, sitting at the receipt of 
custom: and he saith unto him, 
Follow me. And he arose, and 
followed him. 

10 % And Mt came to pass, as 
Jesus sat at meat in the house, 
b ehold, many publicans and sinners 
came and sat down with him and 
his disciples. 

11 And when the Pharisees saw 
it, they said unto his disciples, 
Why eateth your Master * with 
publicans and i sinners? 

12 But when Jesus heard that, he 
said unto them, They that be 
whole need not a physician, but 
they that are sick.

repentance. 

14 ^[ Then came to him the dis- 
ciples of John, saying, m Why do 
we and the Pharisees fast oft, but 
thy disciples fast not? 

15 And Jesus said unto them, 
Can " the children of the bride- 
chamber mourn, as long as the 
bridegroom is with them? but the 
days will come, when the bride- 
groom shall be taken from them, 
and ° then shall they fast. 

16 No man putteth a piece of 
1 new cloth unto an old garment; 
for that which is put in to fill it 
up taketh from the garment, and 
the rent is made worse. 

17 Neither do men put new wine 
into old bottles; else the bottles 
break, and the wine runneth out, 
and the bottles perish: but they 
put new wine into new bottles, 
and both are preserved. 

18 f While ^he spake these 
things unto them, behold, there 
came a certain ruler, and wor- 
shipped him, saying, My daughter 
is even now dead: but come and 
lay thy hand upon her, and she 
shall live. 

19 And Jesus arose, and followed 
him, and so did his disciples. 

20 f And, q behold, a woman, 
which was diseased with an issue 
of blood twelve years, came behind 
him, and touched the hem of his 
garment: 

21 For she said within herself, If 
I may but touch his garment, I 
shall be whole. 

22 But Jesus turned him about; 
and when he saw her, he said, 
Daughter, be of good comfort; r thy 
faith hath made thee whole. And 
the woman was made whole from 
that hour. 

23 And s when Jesus came into 
the ruler's house, and saw 'the 
minstrels and the people making 
a noise, 

24 He said unto them, v Grive 
place; for the maid is not dead, 
but, sleepeth. And they laughed 
him to scorn. 

25 But when the people were put 
forth, he went in, and took her by 
the hand, and the maid arose. 

26 And 2 the fame hereof went 
abroad into all that land. 

27 ^ And when Jesus departed 
thence, two blind men followed

him, crying, and saying, " Thou 
son of David, have mercy on us. 

28 And when he was come into 
the house, the blind men came to 
him: and Jesus saith unto them, 
Believe ye that I am able to do 
this? They said unto him, Yea, 
Lord. 

29 Then touched he their eyes, 
saying, According to your faith be 
it unto you. 

30 And w their eyes were opened: 
and Jesus straitly chargedjbem, 
Baying, See * that no man know it. 

31 But y they, when they were 
departed, spread abroad his fame 
in all that country. 

32 % As * they went out, behold, 
(.hey brought to him a dumb man 
possessed with a devil. 

33 And when the devil was cast 
out, the dumb spake: and the mul- 
titudes marvelled, saying, It was 
never so seen in Israel. 

34 But the Pharisees said, He 
casteth out devils through the 
prince of the devils. 

35 \ And a Jesus went about all 
the cities and villages, teaching in 
their synagogues, and preaching 
the gospel of the kingdom, and 
healing every sickness and every 
disease, among the people. 

36 But when he saw the multi- 
tudes, he was moved with com- 
passion on them, because they 
d fainted, and were scattered 
abroad, as sheep having no shep- 
herd. 

37 Then saith he unto his disci- 
ples, & The harvest truly is plente- 
ous, but the labourers are few; 

38 Pray c ye therefore the Lord of 
the harvest, that he will send forth 
labourers into his harvest.

Go not into the way of the Gen- 
tiles, and into any city of *the 
Samaritans enter ye not: 

6 But /go rather to the 9 lost sheep 
of the house of Israel. 

7 And h as ye go, preach, saying, 
The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the 
lepers, raise the dead, cast out 
devils: freely ye have received, 
freely give. 

9 rf Provide neither gold, nor 
silver, nor brass in your purses, 

10 Nor scrip for your journey, 
neither two coats, neither shoes, 
nor yet i staves; * for the workman 
is worthy of his meat. 

11 And into whatsoever city or 
town ye shall enter, enquire who 
in it is worthy; and there abide 
till ye go thence. 

12 And when ye come into an 
house, salute it. 

13 And if the house be worthy, 
let your peace come upon it: but if 
it be not worthy, let your peace 
return to you, 

14 And whosoever shall not re- 
ceive you, nor hear your words, 
when ye depart out of that house 
or city, > shake off the dust of your 
feet. 

15 Verily I say unto you, It shall 
be more tolerable for the land of 
Sodom and Gomorrha in the day 
of judgment, than for that city. 

16 ^ Behold, I send you forth as 
sheep in the midst of wolves: * be 
ye therefore wise as serpents, and 
5 harmless as doves. . 

17 But beware of men; for they 
will deliver you up to the councils, 
and l they will scourge you in their 
synagogues: 

18 And "ye shall be brought 
before governors and kings for my 
sake, for a testimony against them 
and the Gentiles. 

19 But when they deliver you up, 
take no thought how or what ye 
shall speak: for n it shall be given 
you in that same hour what ye 
shall speak. 

20 For ° it is not ye that speak, 
but the Spirit of your Father which 
speaketh in you.

up the brother to death, and the 
father the child: and the children

19 The Son of man came eating

20 \ Then q began he to upbraid 
the cities wherein most of his

21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe 
unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the 
mighty works which were done in 
you had been done in Tyre and 
Sidon, they would have repented 
long ago r in sackcloth and ashes.

more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon

Christ reproveth the blindness of the 
Pharisees concerning the sabbath, 

AT that time "Jesus went on the 
sabbath day through the corn; 
and his disciples were an hungered, 
and began to pluck the ears of corn, 
and to eat. 

2 But when the Pharisees saw it, 
they said unto him, Behold, thy 
disciples do that which is not law- 
ful to do upon the sabbath day. 

3 But he said unto them, Have 
ye not read l what David did, when 
he was an hungered, and they that 
were with him; 

4 How he entered into the house 
of God, and did eat c the showbread, 
which was not lawful for him to 
eat, neither for them which were 
with him, d but only for the priests ? 

5 Or have ye not read in the e Law, 
how that on the sabbath days the 
priests in the temple profane the 
sabbath, and are blameless? 

6 But 1 say unto you, That in this 
place is one t greater than the 
temple. 

7 But if ye had known what this 
meaneth, 1 9 will have mercy, and 
not sacrifice, ye would not have 
condemned the guiltless. 

8 For the h Son of man is Lord 
even of the sabbath day. 

9 ^ And » when he was departed 
thence, he went into their syna- 
gogue: 

10 And, behold, there was a man 
which had Aw hand withered. And 
they asked him, saying, jf Is it law- 
ful to heal on the sabbath days? 
that they might accuse him. 

11 And he said unto them, What 
man shall there be among you that 
shall have one sheep, and * if it fall 
into a pit on the sabbath day, will 



he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 
12 How much then is a man bet- 
ter than a sheep? Wherefore it is

lawful to do well on the sabbath 
days. 

13 Then saith he to the man, 
Stretch forth thine hand. And he 
stretched it forth; and it was re- 
stored whole, like as the other. 

14 tf Then l the Pharisees went 
out, and I held a council against 
him, how they might destroy him. 

15 But when Jesus m knew it, n he 
withdrew himself from thence: and 

great multitudes followed him, and 
e healed them all; 

16 And charged them that they 
should not make him known: 

17 That it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken by Esaias the 
prophet, saying, 

18 Behold ° my servant, whom I 
have chosen; my beloved,- in whom 
my soul is well pleased: I will put 
my p Spirit upon him, and he shall 
show judgment to the Gentiles. 

19 He shall not strive, nor cry; 
neither shall any man hear his 
voice in the streets. 

20 A q bruised reed shall he not 
break, and smoking flax shall he 
not quench, till he send forth judg- 
ment unto victory. 

21 And in his name shall the 
Gentiles trust. 

22 % Then r was brought unto hirn 
one possessed with a devil, blind 
and dumb: and he healed him, 
insomuch that the blind and dumb 
both spake and saw. 

23 And all the people were 
amazed, and said, Is not this 5 the 
son of David? 

24 But 'when the Pharisees heard 
it, they said, This fellow doth not 
cast out devils, but by 2 Beelzebub 
the prince of the devils. 

25 And Jesus " knew their 
thoughts, and said unto them, 
Every " kingdom divided against 
itself is brought to desolation; and 
every city or house divided against 
itself shall not stand: 

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, 
he is divided against himself; how 
shall then his kingdom stand? 

27 And if I by Beelzebub castout 
devils, by whom do your children 
cast them" out? therefore they shall 
be your judges. 

28 But if I cast out devils by the 
Spirit of God, then w the kingdom 
of God is come unto you. 

29 Or x else how can one enter into 
a strong man's house, and spoil his 
goods, except he first bind the 
strong man? and then he will spoil 
his house.

3 He that is not with me is against 
me; andhe that gathereth not with 
me scattereth abroad. 

31 Wherefore I say unto you, y AU 
manner of sin and blasphemy shall 
be forgiven unto men: *but the 
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 
shall not be forgiven unto men. 

32 And whosoever a speaketh a 
word against the Son of man, h it 
shall be forgiven him: but whoso- 
ever speaketh against the Holy 
Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, 
neither in this world, neither in the 
world to come. 

33 Either make the tree good, and 
his c fruit good; or else make the 
tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: 
for the tree is known by his 
fruit. 

34 O d generation of vipers, how 
can ye, being evil, speak good 
things? 6 for out of the abundance 
of the heart the mouth speaketh. 

35 A good man, out of the good 
treasure of the heart, bringeth forth 
good things: and an evil man, out 

! of the evil treasure, bringeth forth 
evil things. 

36 But I say unto you, That 
every /idle word that men shah 
speak, they shall give account 
thereof in the day of judgment. 

37 For by thy words thou shalt 
be justified, and by thy words thou 
shalt be condemned. 

38 % Then ' certain of the scribes 
and of the Pharisees answered, 
saying, Master, we would see a 
sign from thee. 

39 But he answered and said unto 
them, An evil and h adulterous 
generation seeketh after a sign; and | 
there shall no sign be given to it, 
but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 

40 For » as Jonas was three days 
and three nights in the whale's 
belly, so shall the Son of man be 
three days and three nights in the 
heart of the earth. 

41 The i men of Nineve shall rise 
in judgment with this generation, 
and k shall condemn it: l because 
they repented at the preaching of 
Jonas; and, behold, m a greater than 
Jonas is here. 

42 The " queen of the south shall 
rise up in the judgment with this 
generation, and shall condemn it: 
for she came from the uttermost 
parts of the earth to hear the wis- 
dom of Solomon; and, behold, 
a "greater than Soiomon is here. 

43 When ^the unclean spirit is 
gone out of a man, q he walketh

through dry places, seeking rest, 
and findeth none. 

44 Then he saith, I will return 
into my house from whence I came 
out; and when he is come, he 
tindeth it empty, swept, and gar- 
nished. 

45 Then goeth he, and taketh 
with himself seven other spirits 
more wicked than himself, and 
they enter in and dwell there: 
and r the last state of that man is 
worse than the first. Even so shall 
it be also unto this wicked gener- 
ation. 

46 ^ While he yet talked to the 
people, behold, s his mother and 
his 'brethren stood without, de- 
siring to speak with him. 

47 Then one said unto him, Be- 
hold, thy mother and thy brethren 
stand without, desiring to speak 
with thee. 

48 But he answered and said unto 
him that told him, Who is my 
mother? and who are my brethren? 

49 And he stretched forth his 
hand toward his disciples, and 
said, Behold my mother and my 
brethren! 

50 For u whosoever shall do the 
will of my Father which is in 
heaven, the same is my brother, 
and sister, and mother.

Behold, a sower went forth to sow: 

4 And when he sowed, some seeds 
fell by the way-side, and the fowls 
came and devoured them up: 

5 Some fell upon d stony places, 
where they had not much earth; 
and forthwith they sprung up, 
because they had no deepness of 
earth: 

6 And when the sun was up, they 
were scorched; and because they 
had no "root, they withered away: 

7 And some fell among thorns; 
and the thorns sprung up and 
choked them: 

8 But other fell into good ground,

and brought forth fruit, some •''an 
hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some 
thirty-fold. 

9 Who ff hath ears to hear, let 
him hear. 

10 Tf And the disciples came, and 
said unto him, Why speakest thou 
unto them in parables? 

11 He answered and said unto 
them, Because A it is given unto 
you to know the mysteries of the 
kingdom of heaven, but to them 
it is not given. 

12 For * whosoever hath, to him 
shall be given, and he shall have 
more abundance; but whosoever 
hath not, from him shall be taken 
away even that he hath. 

13 Therefore speak I to them in 
parables: because they seeing, see 
not; and hearing, they hear not; 
neither do they understand. 

14 And in them is fulfilled the 
prophecy of Esaias, which saith, 
By •?' hearing ye shall hear, and 
shall not understand; and seeing 
ye shall see, and shall not per- 
ceive: 

15 For this people's heart is waxed 
gross, and tlieir ears *are dull of 
hearing, and their eyes they have 
closed; lest at any time they should 
see with their eyes, and hear with 
their ears, and should understand 
with their heart, and should be 
converted, and I should heal them. 

16 But l blessed are your eyes, for 
they see; and your ears, for they 
hear. 

17 For verily I say unto you, That 
many m prophets and righteous 
men have desired to see those things 
which ye see, and have not seen 
them; and to hear those things which 
ye hear, and have not heard tliem. 

18 % Hear "ye therefore the 
parable of the sower. 

19 When any one heareth the 
word of the kingdom, and under- 
standeth it not, then cometh °the 
wicked one, and catcheth away 
that which was sown in his heart. 
This is he which received seed by 
the way-side. 

20 But he that received the seed 
into stony places, the same is he 
that heareth the word, and anon 
with p joy receiveth it: 

21 Yet hath he not root in him- 
self, but dureth for a while; for 
when tribulation or persecution 
ariseth because of the word, by and 
by q he is offended. 

22 He *"also that received seed 
among "the thorns is he that

heareth the word; and the care of 
this world, and the deceitfulness 
of riches, choke the word, and he 
becometh unfruitful. 

23 But he that received seed into 
the good ground is he that heareth 
the word, and understandeth it; 
which also beareth fruit, and 
bringeth forth, some an hundred- 
fold, some sixty, some thirty. 

24 f Another parable put he 
forth unto them, saying, The king- 
dom of heaven is likened unto a 
man which sowed good seed in 
his field: 

25 But while men slept, 'his 
enemy came and sowed tares 
among the wheat, and went his 
way. 

26 But when the blade was 
sprung up, and brought forth fruit, 
then appeared the tares also. 

27 So the servants of the house- 
holder came and said unto him, 
Sir, didst not thou sow good seed 
in thy field? from whence then 
hath it tares? 

28 He said unto them, An enemy 
hath done this. The servants said 
unto him, Wilt thou then that we 
go and gather them up? 

29 But he said, Nay; lest, while 
ye gather up the tares, ye root up 
also the wheat with them. 

30 Let both grow together until 
the harvest: and in the time of 
harvest I will say to the reapers, 
Gather ye together first the tares, 
and bind them in bundles to burn 
them; but u gather the wheat into 
my barn. 

31 f Another parable put he 
forth unto them, saying, "The 
kingdom of heaven is hke to a 
grain of mustard seed, which a 
man took, and sowed in his field: 

32 Which indeed is the least of 
all seeds; but when it is grown, it 
is the greatest among herbs, and 
becometh a tree, so that the birds 
of the air come and lodge in the 
branches thereof. 

33 <H Another w parable spake he 
unto them; The kingdom of heaven 
is like unto leaven, which a woman 
took and hid in three l measures of 
meal, till the whole was leavened 

34 All these things spake Jesus 
unto the multitude in parables; 
and without a parable spake he 
not unto them : 

35 That it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken by the prophet, 
saying, x I will open my mouth in 
parables; y I will utter things which

have been kept secret from the 
foundation of the world. 

36 \ Then Jesus sent the multi- 
tude away, and went into the 
house: and his disciples came unto 
him, saying, Declare unto us the 
parable of the tares of the field. 

37 He answered and said unto 
them, He that z soweth the good 
seed is the Son of man; 

3S The ° field is the world; the 
good seed are the children of the 
kingdom ; but the tares are b the 
children of the wicked one; 

39 The enemy that sowed them 
is the devil ; c the harvest is the 
end of the world; and the reapers 
are the angels. 

40 As therefore the tares are 
gathered and burned in the fire; 
so shall it be in the end of this 
world. 

41 The Son of man shall send 
forth his angels, d and they shall 
gather out of his kingdom all 
2 things that offend, and them 
which do iniquity, 

42 And 6 shall cast them into a 
furnace of fire: there shall be wail- 
ing and gnashing of teeth. 

43 Then /shall the righteous shine 
forth as the sun in the kingdom of 
their Father. Who hath ears to 
hear, let him hear. 

44 f Again, the kingdom of 
heaven is hke unto treasure hid in 
a field; the which when a man 
hath found, he hideth, and for joy 
thereof goeth and 9 selleth all that 
he hath, and h buyeth that field. 

45 % Again, the kingdom of 
heaven is like unto a merchant- 
man seeking goodly pearls : 

46 Who, when he had found * one 
pearl of great price, went and sold 
all that he had, and bought it. 

47 ^ Again, the kingdom of 
heaven is like unto a net, that was 
cast into the sea, and gathered i of 
every kind: 

48 Which, when it was full, they 
drew to shore, and sat down, and 
gathered the good into vessels, but 
cast the bad away. 

49 So shall it be at the end of the 
world: the angels shall come forth, 
and sever the wicked from among 
the just, 

50 And shall cast them into the 
furnace of fire: there shall be 
wailing and gnashing of teeth. 

51 Jesus saith unto them, Have 
ye understood all these things? 
They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 

52 Then said he unto them. 



John the Baptist beheaded. 



MATTHEW, XIV. 



Therefore every scribe which is in- 
structed unto the kingdom of 
heaven, is like unto a man that is 
an householder which bringeth 
forth out of his treasure * things 
new and old. 

53 fli Audit came to pass, that, 
when Jesus had finished these 
parables, he departed thence. 

54 And l when he was come into 
his own country, he taught them 
in their synagogue, insomuch that 
they were astonished, and said, 
Whence hath thisman this wisdom, 
and these mighty works? 

55 Is '"not this the carpenter's 
son? is not his mother called Mary? 
and n his brethren, ° James, and 
Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 

56 And his sisters, are they not 
all with us? Whence then hath 
this man all these things? 

57 And they p were offended in 
him. But Jesus said unto them, 
A q prophet is not without honour, 
save in his own country, and in 
his own house. 

58 And r he did not many mighty 
works there, because of their 
unbelief.

1 Herod's opinion of Christ. 
Baptist beheaded. 15 Five thousand 
fed, etc. 

AT that time a Herod the tetrarch 
heard of the fame of Jesus, 

2 And said unto his servants, This 
is John the Baptist: he is risen 
from the dead; and therefore 
mighty works x do show forth 
themselves in him. 

3 f For b Herod had laid hold on 
John, and bound him, and put 
him in prison for Herodias' sake, 
his brother Philip's wife. 

4 For John said unto him, c It is 
not lawful for thee to have her. 

5 And when he would have put 
him to death, he feared the multi- 
tude, d because they counted him 
as a prophet. 

6 But when Herod's e birthday 
was kept, the daughter of Herodias 
danced 2 before them, and pleased 
Herod. 

7 Whereupon he promised with 
an oath to give her whatsoever she 
would ask. 

8 And she, being before instructed 
of her mother, said, Give me here 
John Baptist's head in a charger. 

9 And the king was sorry: /never- 
theless, for the oath's sake, and 
them which sat with him at meat, 
he commanded it to be given her.

10 And he sent, and beheaded 
John in the prison. 

11 And his head was brought in 
a charger, and given to the damsel: 
and she brought it to her mother. 

42 And his disciples came, and 
took up the body, and buried it, 
and went and told Jesus. 

13 % When B Jesus heard of it, he 
departed thence by ship into a 
desert place apart: and when the 
people had heard thereof, they fol- 
lowed him on foot out of the 
cities. 

14 And Jesus went forth, and saw 
a great multitude, and A was moved 
with compassion toward them, 
and he healed their sick. 

15 \ And when it was evening, 
his disciples came to him, saying, 
This is a desert place, and the time 
is now past; send the multitude 
away, that they may go into the 
villages, and buy themselves 
victuals. 

16 But Jesus said unto them, 
They need not depart; *give ye 
them to eat. 

17 And they say unto him, We 
have here but five loaves, and two 



18 He said, Bring them hither to 
me. 

19 And he commanded the multi- 
tude to sit down on the grass, and 
took the five loaves, and the two 
fishes, and, looking up to heaven, 
he i blessed, and brake, and gave 
the loaves to his disciples, and the 
disciples to the multitude. 

20 And they did all eat, and were 
filled: and they took up of the 
fragments that remained twelve 
baskets full. 

21 And they that had eaten were 
about five thousand men, besides 
women and children. 

22 If And straightway Jesus con- 
strained his disciples to get into a 
ship, and to go before him unto 
the other side, while he sent the 
multitudes away. 

23 And k when he had sent the 
multitudes away, he went up into 
a mountain apart to pray: l and 
when the evening was come, he 
was there alone. 

24 But the ship was now in the 
midst of the sea, tossed with waves: 
for the wind was contrary. 

25 And in the fourth watch of 
the night Jesus went unto them, 
walking on the sea. 

26 And when the disciples m saw 
him walking on the sea, they were

troubled, saying, It .is a spirit and 
they cried out for fear. 
27^But straightway Jesus spake 
unto them, saying, Be of good 
cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 

28 And Peter answered him and 
said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me 
come unto thee on the water. 

29 And he said, Come. And 
when Peter was come down out of 
the ship, he walked on the water, 
to go to Jesus. 

30 But when he saw the wind 
3 boisterous, he was afraid; and, 
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, 
Lord, save me! 

31 And immediately Jesus stretch- 
ed forth his hand, and caught him, 
and said unto him, thou of little 
faith, wherefore n didst thou doubt? 

32 And when they were come 
into the ship, the ° wind ceased. 

33 Then they that were in the 
ship came and worshipped him, 
saying. Of a truth thou p art the 
Son of God. 

34 % And q when they were gone 
over, they came into the land of 
Gennesaret. 

i 35 And when the men of that 
place had knowledge of him, they 
sent out into all that country 
round about, and brought unto 
him all that were diseased; 
36 And besought him that they 
might only touch the hem of his 
garment: and as many as touched 
were made perfectly whole.

and Pharisees, which were of 
Jerusalem, saying, 

2 Why l do thy disciples trans- 
gress c the tradition of the elders? 
for they wash not their hands when 
they eat bread. 

3 But he answered and said unto 
them, Why do ye also transgress 
the commandment of God by your 
tradition? 

4 For God commanded, saying, 
Honour d thy father and mother: 
and, 6 He that curseth father or 
mother, let him die the death. 

5 But ye say, Whosoever shall 
say to his father or his mother, / 'It 
is a gift, by whatsoever thcu 
mightest be profited by me; 

6 And honour not his father or 
his mother, he shall be free. Thus

have ye made the commandment 
of God of none effect by your 
tradition. 

I Ye 9 hypocrites, well did Esaias 
prophesy of you, saying, 

8 This *- people draweth nigh 
unto me with their mouth, and 
honoureth me with their lips; but 
their heart is far from me. 

9 But in vain they do worship me, 
teaching i for doctrines the com- 
mandments of men. 

10 % Andtf he called the multi- 
tude, and said unto them, Hear, 
and understand: 

II Not Hhat which goeth into 
the mouth denleth a man; but 
that which cometh out of the 
mouth, this def ileth a man. 

12 Then came his disciples, and 
said unto him, Knowest thou that 
the Pharisees were offended^ after 
they heard this saying? 

13 But he answered and said, 
Every l plant, which my heavenly 
Father hath not planted, shall be 
rooted up. 

14 Let m them alone: "they be 
blind leaders of the blind. And 
if the'blind lead the blind, both 
shall iall into the ditch. 

15 -Then ° answered Peter and 
said unto him, Declare unto us 
this parable. 

16 And Jesus said, * Are ye also 
yet without understanding? 

17 Do not ye yet understand, that 
whatsoever q entereth in at the 
mouth goeth into the belly, and is 
cast out into the draught? 

18 But r those things which pro- 
ceed out of the mouth come forth 
from the heart; and they defile the 
man. 

19 For * out of the heart proceed 
evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, 
fornications, thefts, false witness, 
blasphemies: 

20 These are the things which defile 
a man: but to eat with unwashen 
hands defileth not a man. 

21 ^ Then Jesus went thence, and 
departed into the coasts of Tyre 
and Sidon. 

22 And, behold, a woman of 
Canaan came out of the same 
coasts, and cried unto him, saying, 
Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou 
son of David; my daughter is 
grievously vexed with a devil 

23 But he answered her not a 
word. And his disciples came and 
besought him, saying, Send her 
away; for she crieth after us. 

24 But he answered and said, * I

am not sent but unto the lost sheep 
of the house of Israel. 

25 Then came she and worshipped 
him, saying, Lord, help me! 

26 But he answered and said, It is 
not meet to take the children's 
bread, and to cast it to M dogs. 

27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet 
the dogs eat of the crumbs which 
fall from their masters' table. 

28 Then Jesus answered and said 
unto her, woman, great is thy 
faith: be it unto thee even as thou 
wilt. And her daughter was made 
whole from that very hour. 

29 f And v Jesus departed from 
thence, and came nigh w unto the 
sea of Galilee; and went up into 
a mountain, and sat down 
there. 

30 And x great multitudes came 
unto him, having with them those 
that were lame, blind, dumb, maim- 
ed, and many others, and cast 
them down at Jesus' feet; and he 
healed them: 

31 Insomuch that the multitude 
wondered, when they saw the 
dumb to speak, the maimed to be 
whole, the lame to walk, and the 
blind to see: and they glorified the 
Grod of Israel. 

32 % Then y Jesus called his dis- 
ciples unto him, and said, I z have 
compassion on the multitude, be- 
cause they continue with me now 
three days, and have nothing to 
eat: and I will not send them away 
fasting, lest they faint in the 
way. 

33 And a his disciples say unto 
him, Whence should we have so 
much bread in the wilderness as 
to fill so great a multitude? 

34 And Jesus saith unto them, 
How many loaves have ye? And 
they said, Seven, and a few little 
fishes. 

35 And he commanded the mul- 
titude to sit down on the ground. 

36 And b he took the seven loaves 
and the fishes, and c gave thanks, 
and brake them, and gave to his 
disciples, and the disciples to the 
multitude. 

37 And they did all eat, d and were 
filled: and they took up of the 
broken meat that was left seven 
baskets full. 

38 And they that did eat were 
four thousand men, besides women 
and children. 

39 And e he sent away the mul- 
titude, and took ship, and came 
into the coasts of Magdala.

CHAPTER XYL 

1 The Pharisees require a sign. 5 Of the 
leaven of the Pharisees and of the tiad- 
ducees, etc. 

THE a Pharisees also with the 
Saddueees came, and tempting 
desired him that he would show 
them a sign from heaven. 

2 He answered and said unto 
them, When it is evening, ye say, 
It wiU be fair weather; for the sky 
is red: 

3 And in the morning, It will be 
foul weather to-day; for the sky is 
red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, 
ye can discern the face of the sky; 
but can ye not discern the h signs 
of the times ? 

4 A c wicked and adulterous gen- 
eration seeketh after a sign; and 
there shall no sign be given unto 
it, but the sign of the prophet 
Jonas. And he left them, and 
departed. 

5 f And d when his disciples were 
come to the other side, they had 
forgotten to take bread. 

6 Then Jesus said unto them, 
Take e heed and beware of the 
leaven of the Pharisees and of the 
Saddueees. 

7 And they reasoned among 
themselves, saying, It is because 
we have taken no bread. 

8 Which when Jesus perceived, he 
said unto them, O ye of little faith, 
why reason ye among yourselves, 
because ye have brought no 
bread ? 

9 Do ■/'ye not yet understand, 
neither remember the five loaves 
of the five thousand, and how 
many baskets ye took up? 

10 Neither g the seven loaves of 
the four thousand, and how many 
baskets ye took up? 

11 How is it that ye do not un- 
derstand that I spake it not to you 
concerning bread, that ye should 
beware of the leaven of the Phari- 
sees and of the Saddueees? 

12 Then understood they how 
that he bade them not beware of 
the leaven of bread, but of the 
doctrine of the Pharisees and of 
the Saddueees. 

13 \ When Jesus came into th& 
coasts of Cesarea Philippi,he asked 
his disciples, saying, h Whom do 
men say that I the Son of man 
am? 

14 And they said* Some say that 
thou art John the Baptist; 3 some, 
Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one 
of the prophets. 



Peter's confession of Christ. MATTHEW, XVIL The transfiguration of Christ. 



1 5 He saith unto them, But whom 
Bay ye that I am? 

16 And Simon Peter answered 
and said, * Thou art the Christ, 
the Son of the living God. 

17 And Jesus answered and said 
unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon 
Bar-jona: l for flesh and blood hath 
not revealed it unto thee, but w my 
Father which is in heaven. 

18 And I say also unto thee, 
That n thou art Peter, and ° upon 
this rock I will build my church; 
and p the gates of hell shall not 
prevail against it. 

19 And q I will give unto thee the 
keys of the kingdom of heaven : 
and whatsoever thou shalt bind 
on earth shall be bound in heaven; 
and whatsoever thou shalt loose 
on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 

20 Then charged he his disciples 
that they should tell no man that 
he was Jesus the Christ. 

21 1f From that time forth began 
Jesus to show unto his disciples, 
how that he must go unto Jeru- 
salem, and suffer many things of 
the elders and chief priests and 
scribes, and be killed, and be raised 
again the third day. 

22 Then Peter took him, and be- 
gan to rebuke him, saying, l Be it 
far from thee, Lord: this shall not 
be unto thee. 

23 But he turned, and said unto 
Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: 
thou r art an offence unto me; for 
thou savourest not the things that 
be of God, but those that be of 
men. 

24 Then * said Jesus unto his 
disciples, If any man will come 
after me, let him deny himself, 
and take up his cross, and follow 
me. 

25 For whosoever will save his 
life shall lose it: and whosoever 
will lose his life for my sake shall 
find it. 

26 For what is a man profited, if 
he shall gain the whole world, and 
lose his own soul? or * what shall 
a man give in exchange for his 
soul? 

27 For the Son of man shall come 
in the glory of his Father u with 
his angels; " and then he shall re- 
ward every man according to his 
works. 

28 Verily I say unto you, There 
be some standing here which shall 
not taste of death, till they see the 
Son of man coming in his w king- 
dom.

CHAPTER XVIL 

1 The transfiguration, of Christ: ,14 he 
healeth the lunatic: 2±Jiepayeth tribute. 

AND a after six days Jesus taketh 
Peter, James, and John his 
brother, and bringeth • them up 
into an high mountain apart, 

2 And was transfigured before 
them; and his face did shine as the 
sun, and his raiment was white as 
the fight. 

3 And, behold, there appeared 
unto them 6 Moses and Elias talk- 
ing with him. 

4 Then answered Peter, and said 
unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us 
to be here: if thou wilt, let us make 
here three tabernacles; one for 
thee, and one for Moses, and one 
for Elias. 

5 While c he yet spake, behold, a 
bright cloud overshadowed them: 
and behold a voice out of the 
cloud, which said, d This is my 
beloved Son, 6 in whom I am well 
pleased; * hear ye him. 

6 And 9 when the disciples heard 
it, they fell on their face, and were 
sore afraid. 

7 And Jesus came and touched 
them, and said, Arise, and be not 
afraid. 

8 And when they had lifted up 
their eyes, they saw no man, save 
Jesus only. 

9 If And as they came down from 
the mountain, Jesus charged them, 
saying, Tell the vision to no man, 
until the Son of man be risen again 
from the dead. 

10 And his disciples asked him, 
saying, h Why then say the scribes 
that Elias must first come? 

11 And Jesus answered and said 
unto them, Elias truly shall first 
come, and restore » all things. 

12 But $ I say unto you, That 
Elias is come already, and they 
knew him not, but have * done 
unto him whatsoever they listed. 
Likewise shall also the Son of man 
suffer of them. 

13 Then the disciples understood 
that he spake unto them of John 
the Baptist. 

14 f And l when they were come 
to the multitude, there came to 
him a certain man, kneeling down 
to him, and saying, 

15 Lord, have mercy on my son. 
for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: 
for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, 
and oft into the water. 

16 And I brought him to thy dis- 
ciples, and they could not cure him. 

3 M 



Christ foretells Ms death. 



MATTHEW, XVHI. 



He teacheth to be humble. 



17 Then Jesus answered and said, 

faithless and perverse genera- 
tion, how long shall I he with you! 
how long shall I suffer you! Bring 
him hither to me. 

18 And Jesus rehuked the devil; 
and he departed out of him: and 
the child was cured from that very 
hour. 

19 Then came the disciples to 
Jesus apart, and said, Why could 
not we cast him out? 

20 And Jesus said unto them, 
Because of your unbelief : for verily 

1 say unto you, m Bf ye have faith 
as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall 
say unto this mountain, Remove 
hence to yonder place; and it shall 
remove; and nothing shall be im- 
possible unto you. 

21 Howbeit this kind goeth not 
out but by prayer and fasting. 

225 And * while they abode in 
Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The 
Son of man shall be betrayed into 
the hands of men; 

23 And they shall kill him, and 
the third day he shall be raised 
again. And they were exceeding 
sorry. 

24 <$ And ° when they were come 
to Capernaum, they that received 
1 tribute money came to Peter, and 
said, Doth not your master pay 
tribute? 

25 He saith, Yes. And when he 
was come into the house, Jesus 
pre vented him, saying, What think- 
est thou, Simon? of whom o the 
kings of the earth take custom or 
tribute? of their own children, or 
of strangers? 

26 Peter saith unto him, Of stran- 
gers. Jesus saith unto him, Then 
are the children free. 

27 Notwithstanding, lest we 
should * offend them, go thou to 
the sea, and cast an hook, and 
take up the fish that first cometh 
up; and when thou hast opened 
his mouth, thou shalt find 2 a piece 
of money: that take, and give 
unto them for me and thee.

AT a the same time came the 
disciples unto Jesus, saying, 
Who is the greatest in the king- 
dom of heaven? 

2 And Jesus called a little child 
unto him, and set him in the 
midst of them, 

3 And said, Verily I say unto you,

Except h ye be converted, and be- 
come as little children, ye shall 
not enter into the kingdom of 
heaven. 

4 Whosoever c therefore shall 
humble himself as this little child, 
the same is greatest in the king- 
dom of heaven. 

5 And d whoso shall receive one 
such little child in my name re- 
ceiveth me. 

6 But whoso shall offend one of 
these little ones which believe in 
me, it were better for him that a 
millstone were hanged about his 
neck, and that he were drowned 
in the depth of the sea. 

7 ^ Woe unto the world because 
of offences! for e it must needs be 
that offences come; but / woe to 
that man by whom the offence 
cometh! 

8 Wherefore 9 if thy hand or thy 
foot offend thee, cut them off, and 
cast them from thee: it is better for 
thee to enter into life halt or 
maimed, rather than having two 
hands or two feet to be cast into 
everlasting fire. 

9 And if thine eye offend thee, 
pluck it out, and cast it from thee: 
it is better for thee to enter into 
life with one eye, rather than 
having two eyes to be cast into 
hell fire. 

10 fl Take heed that ye despise 
not one of these little ones; for I 
say unto you, That in heaven 
their A angels do always f behold 
the face of my Father which is in 
heaven. 

11 For the Son of man is come to 
save that which was lost. 

12 How i think ye? If a man 
have an hundred sheep, and one of 
them be gone astray, doth he not 
leave the ninety and nine, and 
goeth into the mountains, and 
seeketh that which is gone astray? 

13 And if so be that he find it, 
verily I say unto you, He rejoiceth 
more of that sheep, than of the 
ninety and nine which went not 
astray. 

14 Even so it is not the will of 
your Father which is in heaven, 
that one of these little ones should 
perish. 

15 1f Moreover, *if thy brother 
shall trespass against thee, go and 
tell him his fault between thee and 
him alone: if he shall hear thee, 
thou l hast gained thy brother. 

16 But if he will not hear thee, 
then take with thee one or two

more, that m in the mouth of two 
or three witnesses every word may 
be established. 

17 And if he shall neglect to hear 
them, tell it unto n the church : 
but if he neglect to hear the 
church, let him be unto thee as 
an ° heathen man and a publican. 

18 Verily I say unto you, p What- 
soever ye shall bind on earth shall 
be bound in heaven; and whatso- 
ever ye shall loose on earth shall 
be loosed in heaven. 

19 Again q I say unto you, That 
if two of you shall agree on earth 
as touching any thing that they 
shall ask, r it shall be done for 
them of my Father which is in 
heaven. 

20 For where two or three are 
gathered together in my name, 
there s am I in the midst of 
them. 

21 % Then came Peter to him, 
and said. Lord, how oft shall my 
brother sin against me, and I for- 
give him? ' till seven times? 

22 Jesus saith unto him, I say 
not unto thee, Until seven times; 
but, u Until seventy times seven. 

23 % Therefore is the kingdom of 
heaven likened unto a certain 
king, which Would take account 
of his servants. 

24 And when he had begun to 
reckon, one was brought unto him, 
which owed him ten thousand 
1 talents: 

25 But forasmuch as he had not 
to pay, his lord commanded him 
to " be sold, and his wife and chil- 
dren, and all that he had, and 
payment to be made. 

26 The servant therefore fell down, 
and 2 worshipped him, saying, 
Lord, have patience with me, and 
I will pay thee all. 

27 Then the lord of that servant 
was moved with compassion, and 
loosed him, and forgave him the 
debt. 

28 But the same servant went 
out, and found one of his fellow- 
servants, which owed him an 
hundred 3 pence; and he laid hands 
on him, and took him by the 
throat, saying, Pay me that thou 
owest. 

29 And his fellow-servant fell 
down at bis feet, and besought 
him, saying, Have patience with 
me, and I will pay thee all. 

30 And he would not; but went 
and cast him into prison, till he 
should pay the debt.

31 So when his fellow-servants 
saw what was done, they were 
very sorry, and came and told unto 
their lord all that was done. 

32 Then his lord, after that he 
had called him, said unto him, O 
thou wicked servant, I forgave 
thee all that debt, because thou 
desiredst me: 

33 Shouldest w not thou also have 
had compassion on thy fellow- 
servant, even as I had pity on 
thee?

unto him.

CHAPTER XIX. 

1 Christ healeth the sick; 3 he answereth 
the Pharisees touching divorcement; 16 
he instructeth how to attain everlasting 
life, etc. 

AND it came to pass, a that when 
Jesus had finished these say- 
ings, he departed from Galilee, and 
came into the coasts of Judea 
beyond Jordan; 

2 And b great multitudes followed 
him; and he healed them there. 

3 \\ The Pharisees also came unto 
him, tempting him, and saying 
unto him, Is it lawful for a man to 
put away his wife for every cause? 

4 And he answered and said unto 
them, Have ye not read, c that he 
which made them at the beginning 
made them male and female, 

5 And said, d For this cause shall 
a man leave father and mother, 
and shall cleave to his wife: 6 and 
they twain shall be one flesh? 

6 Wherefore they are no more 
twain, but one flesh. What there- 
fore God hath joined together, let 
not man put asunder. 

7 They say unto him, /Why did 
Moses then command to give a 
writing of divorcement, and to 
put her away? 

8 He saith unto them, Moses be- 
cause of the hardness of your 
hearts suffered you to put away 
your wives: but 3 from the begin- 
ning it was not so. 

9 And A I say unto you, Whoso- 
ever shall put away his wife, 
except it be for fornication, and 
shall marry another, committeth 
adultery; and whoso marrieth her 
which is put away doth commit 
adultery. 



How to attain everlasting life. MATTHEW, XX, Trie labourers in the vineyard. 



10 f His disciples say unto-, him, 
If > the case of the man be so with 
his wife, it is not good to marry. 

11 But he said unto them, i All 
men cannot receive this saying, 
save they to whom it is given. 

12 For there are some eunuchs, 
which were so horn from their 
mother's womb; and there are 
some eunuchs, which were made 
eunuchs of men; and k there be 
eunuchs, which have made them- 
selves eunuchs for the kingdom of 
heaven's sake. He that is able to 
receive it, let him receive it. 

13 % Then l were there brought 
unto him little children, that he 
should put his hands on them, and 
pray: and the disciples rebuked 
them. 

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little 
children, and forbid them not, to 
come unto me; for of m such is the 
kingdom of heaven. 

15 And he laid his hands on them, 
and departed thence. 

16 f And, behold, one came and 
said unto him, "Good Master, what 
good thing shall I do, that I may 
have eternal life? 

17 And he said unto him, Why 
callest thou me good? ° tliere is none 
good but one, that is, God: but if 
thou wilt enter into life, keep the 
commandments. 

18 He saith unto him, Which? 
Jesus said, Thou ^ shalt do no 
murder, Thou shalt not commit 
adultery, Thou shalt not steal, 
Thou shalt not bear false witness, 

19 Honour 2 thy father and thy 
mother; and, r Thou shalt love thy 
neighbour as thyself. 

20 The young man saith unto 
him, All these things have I kept 
from my youth up: what lack I yet? 

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou 
wilt be perfect, s go and sell that 
thou hast, and give to the poor, 
and thou shalt have treasure in 
heaven; and come and follow me. 

22 But when the young man 
heard that saying, he went away 
sorrowful: for he had great posses- 
sions. 

23 % Then said Jesus unto his 
disciples, Verily I say unto you, That 
a 'rich man shall hardly enter into 
the kingdom of heaven. 

24 And again I say unto you, It 
is easier for a camel to go through 
the eye of a needle, than for a rich 
man to enter into the kingdom of 
God.

things are possible. 

27 <[] Then v answered Peter and 
said unto him, Behold, w we have 
forsaken all, and followed thee;

28 And Jesus said unto them, 
Verily I say unto you, That ye 
which have followed me, in z the 
regeneration, when the Son of man 
shall sit in the throne of his glory, 
ye y also shall sit upon twelve 
thrones, judging the twelve tribes 
of Israel. 

29 And every one that hath for- 
saken houses, or brethren, or sisters, 
or father, or mother, or wife, or 
children, or lands, for my name's

fold, and shall inherit everlasting 
life.

1 Of the labourers in the vineyard. 17 
Christ for etelleth his passion: 20 Teach- 
eth his disciples to be lowly. 29andgivcth 
sight to two blind men. 

FOE the kingdom of heaven is 
like unto a man that is an 
householder, which went out early 
in the morning to hire labourers 
into his vineyard. 

2 And when he had agreed with 
the labourers for a 1 penny a day, 
he sent them into his vineyard. 

3 And he went out about the 
third hour, and saw others stand- 
ing idle in the market-place, 

4 And said unto them, Go ye also 
into the vineyard, and whatsoever 
is right I will give you. And they 
went then way. 

5 Again he went out about the 
sixth and ninth hour, and did 
likewise. 

6 And about the eleventh hour 
he went out, and found others 
standing idle, and saith unto them, 
Why stand ye here all the day 
idle? 

7 They say unto him, Because no 
man hath hired us. He saith 
unto them, Go ye also into the 
vineyard; and whatsoever is right, 
that shall ye receive. 

8 So when a even was come, the 
lord of the vineyard saith unto his 
steward, Call the labourers, and 
give them their hire, beginning 
from the last unto the first. 



Christ teacheih humility. 



MATTHEW, XXL 



He healeth two blind men. 



9 And when they came that were 
hired ahout the eleventh hour, 
they received every man a penny. 

10 But when the first came, they 
supposed that they should have 
received more; and they likewise 
received every man a penny. 

11 And when they had received 
it, they murmured against the 
goodman of the house, 

12 Saying, These last 2 have 
wrought but one hour, and thou 
hast made them equal unto us, 
which have borne the burden and 
heat of the day. 

13 But he answered one of them, 
and said. Friend, I do thee no 
wrong: didst not thou agree with 
me for a penny? 

14 Take that thine is, and go thy 
way: I will give unto this last even 
as unto thee. 

15 Is 6 it not lawful for me to do 
what I will with mine own? c Is 
thine eye evil, because I am good? 

16 So d the last shall be first, and 
the first last: "for many be called, 
but few chosen. 

17 ^ And /Jesus going up to 
Jerusalem took the twelve dis- 
ciples apart in the way, and said 
unto them, 

18 Behold, 9 we go up to Jeru- 
salem; and the Son of man shall be 
betrayed unto the chief priests and 
unto the scribes, and they shall 
condemn him to death, 

19 And 7i shall deliver him to the 
Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, 
and to crucify him: and the third 
day he shall rise again. 

20 f Then *came to him *the 
mother of Zebedee's * children with 
her sons, worshipping him, and 
desiring a certain thing of him. 

21 And he said unto her, What 
wilt thou? She saith unto him, 
Grant that these my two sons l may 
sit, the one on thy right hand, and 
the other on the left,inthykingdom. 

22 But Jesus answered and said, 
Ye know not what ye ask. Are 
ye able to drink of the m cup that 
I shall drink of, and to be baptized 
with " the baptism that I am bap- 
tized with? They say unto him, 
We are able. 

23 And he saith unto them, ° Ye 
shall drink indeed of my cup, and 
be baptized with the baptism that 
I am baptized with: but to sit on 
my right hand, and on my left, 
is not mine to p give, but it shall be 
given to them for whom it is pre- 
pared of my Father.

24 And q when the ten heard it, 
they were moved with indignation 
against the two brethren. 

25 But Jesus called them unto 
him, and said, Ye know that the 
princes of the Gentiles exercise 
dominion over them, and they 
that are great exercise authority 
upon them. 

26 But r it shall not be so among 
you: but whosoever * will be great 
among you, let him be your

27 And * whosoever will be chief 
among you, let him be your

28 Even M as the Son of man

but " to minister, and to w give his 
life a ransom x for many. 

29 ¥ And y as they departed from 
Jericho, a great multitude followed 
him. 

30 And, behold, two blind men 
sitting by the way-side, when they 
heard that Jesus passed by, cried 
out, saying, Have mercy on us, O 
Lord, thou son of David! 

31 And the multitude rebuked 
them, because they should hold 
their peace: but they cried the 
more, saying, Have mercy on us, 

Lord, thou son of David! 

32 And Jesus stood still, and 
called them, and said, What will 
ye that I shall do unto you? 

33 They say unto him, Lord, that 
our eyes may be opened. 

34 So Jesus had compassion on 
them, and touched their eyes; and 
immediately their eyes received 
sight, and they followed him.

1 Christ rideth into Jerusalem upon an

28 Parable of the two sons: 3b of the 
husbandmen. 

AND ° when they drew nigh unto 
Jerusalem, and were come to 
Bethphage, unto 6 the mount of 
Olives, then sent Jesus two dis- 
ciples, 

2 Saying unto them, Go into the 
village over against you, and

them, and bring them unto me.

he will send them.

lie reproves the. priests. 



5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, 
Benold, thy King cometh unto 
thee, meek, and sitting upon an 
ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.) 

6 And /the disciples went, and 
did as Jesus commanded them, 

7 And brought the ass, and the 
colt, and put 9 <m them their 
clothes, and they set him there- 
on. 

8 And a very great multitude 
spread their garments in the way; 
others h cut down branches from 
the trees, and strawed them in the 
way. 

9 And the multitudes that went 
before, and that followed, cried, 
saying, * Hosanna to the son of 
David! i Blessed is he that cometh 
in the name of the Lord! Hosanna 
in the highest! 

10 f And k when he was come 
into Jerusalem, all the city was 
moved, saying, Who is this? 

11 And the multitude said, This 
is Jesus the * prophet of Nazareth 
of Galilee. 

12 % And m Jesus went into the 
temple of God, and cast out all 
them that sold and bought in the 
temple, and overthrew the tables 
of the " money-changers, and the 
seats of them that sold doves, 

13 And said unto them, It is 
written, ° My house shall be called 
the house of prayer; but p ye have 
made it a den of thieves. 

14 And * the blind and the lame 
came to him in the temple; and he 
healed them. 

15 And when the chief priests 
and scribes saw the wonderful 
things that he did, and the chil- 
dren , crying in the temple, and 
saying, Hosanna to r the son of 
David; they were sore displeased, 

16 And said unto him, Hearest 
thou what these say? And Jesus 
saith unto them, Yea; have ye 
never read, s Out of the mouth of 
babes and sucklings thou hast per- 
fected praise? 

17 And he left them, and went 
out of the city into t Bethany; and 
he lodged there. 

18 ^ Now in the morning, as he 
returned into the city, he hungered. 

19 And when he saw x a fig tree 
in the way, he came to it, and 
found nothing thereon, but leaves 
only, and said unto it, Let no fruit 
grow on thee henceforward for 
ever. And presently the fig tree 
withered away.

it, they marvelled, saying, How 
soon is the fig tree withered away! 

21 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, Verily I say unto you, u If 
ye have faith, and v doubt not, ye 
shall not only do this which is done 
to the fig tree, w but also if ye shall 
say unto this mountain, Be thou 
removed, and be thou cast into 
the sea; it shall be done. 

22 And ^all things, whatsoever 
ye shall ask in prayer, believing, 
ye shall receive. 

23 % And y when he was come 
into the temple, the chief priests 
and the elders of the people came 
unto him as he was 'teaching, and 
said, z By what authority doest 
thou these things? and who gave 
thee this authority? 

24 And "Jesus answered and said 
unto them, I also will ask you one 
thing, which if ye tell me, I in 
like wise will tell you by what 
authority I do these things. 

25 The baptism of John, whence 
was it? from heaven, or of men? 
And they reasoned with them- 
selves, saying, If we shall say, From 
heaven; he will say unto us, Why 
did ye not then believe him?. 

26 But if we shall say, Of men; 
we fear the people; & for all hold 
John as a prophet. 

27 And they answered Jesus, and 
said, We cannot tell. And he 
said unto them, Neither tell I you 
by what authority I do these 
things. 

28 % But what think ye? A cer- 
tain man had two sons; and he 
came to the first, and said, Son, 
go work to-day in my vineyard. 

29 He answered and said, I will 
not: but afterward he repented, 
and went. 

30 And he came to the second, 
and said likewise. And he an- 
swered and said, I go, sir; and went 
not. 

31 Whether of them twain did 
the will of his father? They say 
unto him, The first. Jesus saith 
unto them, c Verily I say unto you, 
That the publicans and the har- 
lots go into the kingdom of God 
before you. 

32 For d John came unto you in 
the way of righteousness, and ye 
believed him not: but c the publi- 
cans and the harlots believed him:

pented not afterward, that ye 
might believe him.

was a certain householder, which 
planted a vineyard, and hedged it 
round about, and digged a wine- 
press in it, and built a tower, and 
let it out to husbandmen, ^and 
went into a far country: 

34 And when the time of the 
fruit drew near, he sent his ser- 
vants to the husbandmen, h that 
they might receive the fruits of it. 

35 And *the husbandmen took 
his servants, and beat one, and 
killed another, and stoned another. 

36 Again, he sent other servants 
more than the first; and they did 
unto them likewise. 

37 But last of all $ he sent unto 
them his son, saying, They will 
reverence my son. 

38 But when the husbandmen 
saw the son, they said among 
themselves, k This is the heir ; l come, 
let us kill him, and let us seize on 
his inheritance. 

39 And m they caught him, and 
cast him out of the vineyard, and 
slew him. 

40 When the Lord therefore of 
the vineyard cometh, what will 
he do unto those husbandmen? 

41 They n say unto him, ° He will 
miserably destroy those wicked 
men, p and will let out his vineyard 
unto other husbandmen, which 
shall render him the fruits in their 
seasons. 

42 Jesus saith unto them, 5 Did 
ye never read in the Scriptures, 
The stone which the builders 
rejected, the same is become the 
head of the corner: this is the 
Lord's doing, and it is ''marvel- 
lous in our eyes? 

43 Therefore say I unto you, s The 
kingdom of God shall be taken 
from you, and given to a nation 
bringing forth the fruits thereof. 

44 And whosoever ' shall fall on 
this stone shall be broken: but on 
whomsoever it shall fall, w it will 
grind him to powder. 

45 And when the chief priests

! 2 The kingdom of heaven is like 
unto a certain king, which made 
a marriage for his son, 

3 And sent forth his servants to 
call them that were bidden to the 
wedding: and they would not 
come. 

4 Again, he sent forth other 
servants, saying, Tell them which 
are bidden, Behold, I have pre- 
pared my dinner: b my oxen and 
??i#fatlings are killed, and all things 
are ready: come unto the marriage. 

5 But they c made light of it, and 
went their ways, one to his farm, 
another to his merchandise: 

6 And d the remnant took his 
servants, and entreated them spite- 
fully, and slew them. 

7 But when the king heard 
thereof he was wroth: and he sent 
forth "his armies, and destroyed 
those murderers, and burned up 
their city. 

8 Then saith he to his servants, 
The wedding is ready, but they 
which were bidden were /not 
worthy. 

9 Go ye therefore into the high- 
ways, and as many as ye shall find, 
bid to the marriage. 

10 So those servants went out 
into the highways, and 9 gathered 
together all as many as they found, 
both bad and good: and the wed- 
ding was furnished with guests. 

11 And when the king came in 
to see the guests, he saw there a 
man h which had not on a wedding 
garment: 

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, 
how earnest thou in hither not 
having a wedding garment? And 
he * was speechless. 

13 Then said the king to the 
servants, Bind him hand and foot, 
and take him away, and cast* Mm 
into outer darkness; there shall be 
weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

14 For k many are called, but few 
are chosen. 

15 % Then *went the Pharisees, 
and took counsel how they might 
entangle him in Ms talk. 

16 And they sent out unto him 
their disciples with the Herodians, 
saying, Master, we know that thou 
art true, and teachest the way of 
God in truth, neither carest thou 
for any man; for thou regardest not 
the person of men. 

17 Tell us therefore, What think - 
est thou? Is it lawful to give tribute 
unto Cesar, or not? 

18 But Jesus perceived then 



Of the resurrection. 



MATTHEW, XXm. 



The Pharisees denounced. 



wickedness, and said, Why tempt 
ye me, ye hypocrites? 

19 Show me the tribute money. 
And they brought unto him 1 a 
penny. 

20 And he saith unto them, 
Whose is this image and 2 super- 
scription? 

21 They say unto him, Cesar's. 
Then saith he unto them, m Bender 
therefore unto Cesar the things 
which are Cesar's; and unto God 
the things that are God's. 

22 When they had heard these 
words, they "marvelled, and left 
him, and went their way. 

23 \ The ° same day came to him 
the Sadducees, p which say that 
there is no resurrection, and asked 
him, 

24 Saying, Master, q Moses said, 
If a man die, having no children, 
his brother shall marry his wife, 
and raise up seed unto his brother. 

25 Now there were with us seven 
brethren: and the first, when he 
had married a wife, deceased, and, 
having no issue, left his wife unto 
his brother: 

26 Likewise the second also, and 
the third, unto the 3 seventh. 

27 And last of all the woman 
died also. 

28 Therefore in the resurrection 
whose wife shall she be of the 
seven? for they all had her. 

29 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, Ye do err, r not knowing 
the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 

30 For in the resurrection they 
neither marry, nor are given in 
marriage, but s are as the angels of 
God in heaven. 

31 But as touching the resurrec- 
tion of the dead, have ye not read 
that which was spoken unto you 
by God, saying, 

32 I ' am the God of Abraham, 
and the God of Isaac, and the God 
of Jacob? God is not the God of 
the dead, but of the living. 

33 And when the multitude 
heard this, they w were astonished 
at his doctrine. 

34 fl But when the Pharisees had 
heard that he had put the Saddu- 
cees to silence, they were gathered 
together. 

35 Then one of them, which was v & 
lawyer, asked him a question, tempt- 
ing him, and saying, 

36 Master, which is the great 
commandment in the law?

shalt love the Lord thy God with

38 This is the first and great 
commandment. 

39 And the second is like unto 
it, * Thou shalt love thy neighbour 
as thyself. 

40 On y these two command- 
ments hang all the Law and the 
Prophets. 

41 % While z the Pharisees were 
gathered together, Jesus asked 
them, 

42 Saying, What think ye of 
Christ? whose son is he? They 
say unto him, The son of David. 

43 He saith unto them, How then 
doth David a in spirit call him 
Lord, saying, 

44 The 6 Lord said unto my 
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 
till I make thine enemies thy foot- 
stool? 

45 If David then call him Lord, 
how is he his son? 

46 And c no man was able to 
answer him a word; neither durst 
any maw from that day forth ask 
him any more questions.

Of the scribes and Pharisees' pood doc- 
trine, but evil examples of life. 
THEN spake Jesus to the multi- 
tude, and to his disciples, 

2 Saying, °The scribes and the 
Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 

3 All therefore whatsoever they 
bid you observe, that observe and 
do; but do not ye after theii 
works: for 6 they say, and do not. 

4 For c they bind heavy burdens 
and grievous to be borne, and lay 
them on men's shoulders; but they 
themselves will not move them with 
one of their fingers. 

5 But d all their works they do for 
to be seen of men: e they make 
broad their phylacteries, and en- 
large the borders of their garments, 

6 And /love the uppermost rooms 
at feasts, and the chief seats in the 
synagogues, 

7 And greetings in the markets, 
and to be called of men, Babbi, 
Babbi. 

8 But ? be not ye called Babbi: 
for one is your Master, even Christ; 
and all ye are brethren. 

9 And call no man your father 
upon the earth: A for one is your 
Father, which is in heaven. 

10 Neither be ye called masters: 
for one is your Master, even Christ. 

11 But * he that is greatest among 
you shall be your servant. 



Christ denounces tJie hypocrisy MATTHEW, XXIV. of the scribes and Pharisees. 



12 And tf whosoever shall exalt 
himself shall be abased; and he 
that shall humble himself shall 
be exalted. 

13 f But k woe unto you, scribes 
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye 
shut up the kingdom of heaven 
against men: for ye neither go in 
yourselves, neither suffer ye them 
that are entering to go in. 

14 Woe unto you, scribes and 
Pharisees, hypocrites! l for ye 
devour widows' houses, and for a 
pretence make long prayer: there- 
fore ye shall receive the greater 
damnation. 

15 Woe unto you, scribes and 
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye com- 
pass sea and land to make one 
proselyte; and when he is made, 
ye make him two-fold more the 
child of hell than yourselves. 

16 Woe unto you, m ye blind 
guides, which say, n Whosoever 
shall swear by the temple, it is 
nothing; but whosoever shall swear 
by the gold of the temple, he is a 
debtor! 

17 Ye fools, and blind! for whether 
is greater, the gold, °or the temple 
that sanctifieth the gold? 

18 And, Whosoever shall swear 
oy the altar, it is nothing; but 
whosoever sweareth by the gift 
that is upon it, he is x guilty. 

19 Ye fools, and blind! for whether 
is greater, the gift, or p the altar 
that sanctifieth the gift? 

20 Whoso therefore shall swear 
by the altar, sweareth by it, and 
by all things thereon. 

21 And whoso shall swear by the 
temple, sweareth by it, and q by 
him that dwelleth therein. 

22 And he that shall swear by 
heaven, sweareth by r the throne 
of God, and by him that sitteth 
thereon. 

23 Woe unto you, scribes and 
Pharisees, hypocrites! s for ye pay 
tithe of mint and 2 anise and 
cummin, and ' have omitted the 
weightier matters of the law, judg- 
ment, mercy, and faith: these 
ought ye to have done, and not to 
leave the other undone.

like unto whited sepulchres, which 
indeed appear beautiful outward, 
but are within full of dead men's 
bones, and of all uncleanness. 

28 Even so ye also outwardly

build the tombs of the prophets,

righteous, 

30 And say, If we had been in the

35 That d upon you may come all 
the righteous blood shed upon the 
earth, e from the blood of righteous 
Abel unto the blood of Zacharias 
son of Barachias, whom ye slew

generation.

that killest the prophets, and 
stonest them which are sent unto

2 And Jesus said unto them. See 
ye not all these things? Verily I 
say unto you, b There shall not be 
left here one stone upon another, 
that shall not be thrown down. 

3 f And as he sat upon the mount

what shall be the sign of thy

must come to pass, but the end is

7 For ^nation shall rise against 
nation, and kingdom against king- 
dom: and there shall be famines, 
and pestilences, and earthquakes, 
in divers places. 

8 All these are the beginning of 
sorrows. 

9 Then g shall they deliver you 
up to be afflicted, and shall kill 
you: and ye shall be hated of all 
nations for my name's sake. 

10 And then shall many h be

another, and shall hate one

12 And because iniquity shall 
abound, the love of many shall 
wax cold. 

13 But k he that shall endure 
unto the end, the same shall be 
saved. 

14 And this gospel of the king- 
dom l shall be preached in all the 
world for a witness unto all na- 
tions; and then shall the end 
come.

19 And woe unto them that are 
with child, and to them that give 
suck, in those days! 

20 But pray ye that your flight 
be not in the winter, neither on 
the sabbath day: 

21 For ° then shall be great tribu- 
lation, such as was not since the 
beginning of the world to this 
time, no, nor ever shall be. 

22 And except those days should 
be shortened, there should no 
flesh be saved: p but for the elect's 
sake those days shall be shortened. 

23 Then if any man shall say unto 
you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; 
believe it not. 

24 For 2 there shall arise false 
Christs, and false prophets, and 
shall show great signs and wonders; 
insomuch that, r if it were possible, 
they shall deceive the very elect. 

25 Behold, I have told you be- 
fore. 

26 Wherefore, if they shall say 
unto you, Behold, he is in the 
desert; go not forth: behold, he is 
in the secret chambers; believe it 
not. 

27 For as the lightning cometh 
out of the east, and shineth even 
unto the west; so shall also the 
coming of the Son of man be. 

28 For s wheresoever the carcase 
is, there will the eagles be gathered 
together. 

29 f Immediately I after the 
tribulation of those days u shall 
the sun be darkened, and the 
moon shall not give her fight, and 
the stars shall fall from heaven, 
and the powers of the heavens 
shall be shaken: 

30 And * then shall appear the 
sign of the Son of man in heaven : 
and w then shall all the tribes of 
the earth mourn, * and they shall 
see the Son of man coming in the 
clouds of neaven with power and 
great glory. 

31 And y he shall send his angels 
1 with a great sound of a trumpet, 
and they shall gather together 
his elect from the four winds, 
from one end of heaven to the 
other. 

32 f Now learn z a parable of the 
fig tree: When his branch is yet 
tender, and putteth forth leaves, 
ye know that summer' is nigh: 

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall 
see all these things, know that 2 it 
is near, even at the doors. 



Signs, of Christ's coming. 



MATTHEW, XXV. 



Parable of the ten virgins. 



34 Verily I say unto you, a This 
generation shall not pass, till all 
these things be fulfilled. 

35 Heaven 6 and earth shall pass 
away, but my words shall not pass 
away. 

36 «f But c of that day and hour 
knoweth no man, no, not the 
angels of heaven, d but my Father 
only. 

37 But as the days of Noe were, so 
shall also the coming of the Son of 
man be. 

38 For 6 as in the days that were 
before the flood they were eating 
and drinking, marrying and giv- 
ing in marriage, until the day that 
Nbe entered into the ark, 

39 And knew not until the flood 
came, and took them all away; so 
shall also the coming of the Son of 
man be. 

40 Then shall two be in the field; 
the one shall be taken, and the 
other left. 

41 Two women shall be grinding at 
the mill; the one shall be taken, 
and the other left. 

42 f Watch therefore; for ye 
know not what hour your Lord 
doth come. 

43 But ' know this, that if the 
goodman of the house had known 
in what watch the thief would 
come, he would have watched, 
and would not have suffered his 
house to be broken up. 

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for 
in such an hour as ye think not 
the Son of man cdmeth. 

45 Who 9 then is a faithful and 
wise servant, whom his lord hath 
made ruler over his household, 
to give them meat in due sea- 
son? 

46 Blessed h is that servant whom 
his lord when he cometh shall find 
so doing. 

47 Verily I say unto you, That he 
shall make him ruler over all his 
goods. 

48 But and if that evil servant 
shall say in his heart, My lord de- 
layeth his coming; 

49 And shall begin to smite his 
fellow-servants, and to eat and 
drink with the drunken; 

50 The lord of that servant shall 
come in a day when he looketh 
not for him, and in an hour that 
he is not aware of, 

51 And shall 3 cut him asunder, 
and appoint him i his portion with 
the hypocrites: there shall be weep- 
ing and gnashing of teeth.

CHAPTER XXV. 

I The parable of the ten virgins; 14 of the 
talents, and the reward to those who 
improved them. 31 Of the last judgment. 

THEN shall the kingdom of 
heaven be likened unto ten 
virgins, which took their lamps, 
and went forth to meet the a bride- 
groom. 

2 And h five of them were wise, 
and five were foolish. 

3 They that were foolish took 
their lamps, and took c no oil with 
them: 

4 But the wise took oil in their 
vessels with their lamps. 

5 While the bridegroom .tarried, 
they d all slumbered and slept. 

6 And at midnight 'there was a 
cry made, Behold, the bridegroom 
cometh; go ye out to meet him. 

7 Then all those virgins arose, 
and trimmed their /lamps. 

8 And the foolish said unto the 
wise, Give us of your oil; for our 
lamps are l gone out. 

9 But the wise answered, saying, 
Not so; lest there be not enough 
for us and you: but go ye rather 
to them that sell, and buy for 
yourselves. 

10 And while they went to buy, 
the bridegroom came; and they 
that were ready went in with him 
to the marriage : and the 9 door 
was shut. 

II Afterward came also the other 
virgins, saying, A Lord, Lord, open 
to us. 

12 But he answered and said, 
Verily I say unto you, * Iknow you 
not. 

13 Watch J therefore; for ye know 
neither the day nor the hour 
wherein the Son of man cometh. 

14 % For * the kingdom of heaven is 
as l a man travelling into a far 
country, who called his own ser- 
vants, and delivered unto them 
his goods. 

15 And unto one he gave five 
2 talents, to another two, and to 
another one; m to every man ac- 
cording to his several ability; and 
straightway took his journey. 

16 Then he that had received the 
five talents went and n traded with 
the same, and made them other five 
talents. 

17 And likewise he that had re- 
ceived two, he also gained other 
two. 

18 But he that had received one 
went and digged in the earth, and 
hid ° his lord's money. 



Parable of the talents. 



MATTHEW, XXVI. 



Of the last judgment. 



19 After a long time the lord 
of those servants cometh, and 
reckoneth with them. 

20 And so he that had received 
five talents came and brought 
other five talents, saying, Lord, 
thou deliveredst unto me five 
talents: behold, I have gained 
besides them five talents more. 

21 His lord said unto him, Well 
done, thou good and faithful ser- 
vant: thou hast been faithful over 
a few things, p I will make thee 
ruler over many things: enter thou 
into q the joy of thy lord. 

22 He also that had received two 
talents came and said, Lord, thou 
deliveredst unto me two talents: 
behold, I have gained two other 
talents besides them. 

23 His lord said unto him, Well 
done, good and faithful servant: 
thou hast been faithful over a few 
things, I will make thee ruler over 
many things: enter thou into the 
joy of thy lord. 

24 Then he which had received 
the one talent came and said, 
Lord, I knew thee that thou art 
an hard man, reaping where thou 
hast not sown, and gathering 
where thou hast not strawed: 

25 And I was afraid, and went 
and hid thy talent in the earth: 
lo, there thou hast that is thine. 

26 His lord answered and said 
unto him, Thou wicked and sloth- 
ful servant, thou knewest that I 
reap where I sowed not, and gather 
where 1 have not strawed; 

27 Thou oughtest therefore to 
have put my money to the ex- 
changers, and then at my coming 
I should have received mine own 
with usury. 

28 Take therefore the talent from 
him, and give it unto bim which 
hath ten talents. 

29 For r unto every one that hath 
shall be given, and he shall have

as a shepherd divideth his sheep 
from the goats: 

33 And he shall set the sheep on 
his right hand, but the goats on 
the left. 

34 Then shall the King say unto 
them on his right hand. Come, ye 
blessed of my Father, v inherit the 
kingdom w prepared for you from 
the foundation of the world: 

35 For * I was an hungered, and 
ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, 
and ye gave me drink: y I was a 
stranger, and ye took me in: 

36 Naked, z and ye clothed me: I 
was sick, and ye visited me: °I 
was in prison, and ye came unto me. 

.37 Then shall the righteous 
answer him, saying, Lord, when 
saw we thee an hungered, and fed 
thee? or thirsty, and gave thee 
drink? 

38 When saw we thee a stranger, 
and took thee in? or naked, and 
clothed thee? 

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or 
in prison, and came unto thee? 

40 And the King shall answer 
and say unto them, Verily I say 
unto you, h Inasmuch as ye have 
done it unto one of the least of 
these my brethren, ye have done 
it unto me. 

41 Then shall he say also unto 
them on the left hand, c Depart 
from me, ye cursed, into d everlast- 
ing fire, prepared for 'the devil 
and his angels: 

42 For I was an hungered, and 
ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, 
and ye gave me no drink: 

43 I was a stranger, and ye took 
me not in: naked, and ye clothed 
me not: sick, and in prison, and 
ye visited me not. 

44 Then shall they also answer 
him, saying, Lord, when saw we 
thee an hungered, or athirst, or a 
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in 
prison, and did not minister unto 
thee? 

45 Then shall he answer them, 
saying, Verily I say unto you, ■''In- 
asmuch as ye did it not to one of 
the least of these, ye did it not to 
me. 

46 And 9 these shall go away into 
everlasting punishment: but the 
righteous into life h eternal. 

CHAPTER XXVI. - 

3 The rulers conspire against Christ:' 14 
Judas selleth him. 17 Christ eatetk the 
passover. 

AND it came to pass, when Jesus 
had finished all these sayings, 
he said unto his disciples, 



Conspiracy against Christ MATTHEW, XXVI. Institution of the Lords supper. 



2 Ye" know that after two days 
is the feast of the passover, and the 
Son "of man is betrayed to be 
crucified. 

3 *| Then h assembled together the 
chief priests, and the scribes, and 
the elders of the people, unto the 
palace of the high priest, who was 
called Caiaphas, 

4 And consulted that they might 
take Jesus by subtilty, and kill 
him. 

5 But they said, Not on the feast 
dap, lest there be an uproar among 
the people. 

6 f Now c when Jesus was d in 
Bethany, in the house of Simon 
the leper, 

7 There came unto him a woman 
having an alabaster box of very 
precious ointment, and poured it 
on his head, as he sat at meat. 

8 But * when his disciples saw it, 
they had indignation, saying, To 
what purpose is this waste? 

9 For this ointment might have 
been sold for much, and given to 
the poor. 

10 When Jesus understood it, he 
said unto them, Why trouble ye 
the woman? for she hath wrought 
a good work upon me. 

11 For / ye have the poor always 
with you; but g me ye have not 
always. 

12 For in that she hath poured 
this ointment on my body, she 
did it for my burial. 

13 Verily I say unto you, h Where- 
soever this gospel shall be preached 
in the whole world, there shall also 
this, that this woman hath done, 
be told for a memorial of her. 

14 1[ Then *one of the twelve, 
called Judas J Iscariot, went unto 
the chief priests, 

15 And said unto them, k What 
will ye give me, and I will deliver 
him unto you? And they cove- 
nanted with him for thirty pieces 
of silver. 

16 And from that time he sought 
opportunity to betray him. 

17 If Now Hhe first dap of the 
feast of unleavened bread the dis- 
ciples came to Jesus, saying unto 
him, Where wilt thou that we 
prepare for thee to eat the pass- 
over? 

18 And he said, Go into the city 
to such a man, and say unto him, 
The Master saith, My time is at 
hand; I will keep the passover at 
thy house with my disciples.

had appointed them; and they 
made ready the passover. 

20 *J Now when the even was 
come, he sat down with the twelve. 

21 And as they did eat, he said, 
Verily I say unto you, That one of 
you shall betray me. 

22 And they were exceeding sor- 
rowful, and began every one of 
them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? 

23 And he answered and said, 
He m that dippeth his hand with 
me in the dish, the same shall 
betray me. 

24 The Son of man goeth n as it 
is written of him: but ° woe unto 
that man by whom the Son of man 
is betrayed! it had been good for 
that man if he had not been born. 

25 Then Judas, which betrayed 
him, answered and said, Master, 
is it I ? He said unto him, Thou 
hast said. 

26 % And as they were eating, 
Jesus ^took bread, and * blessed 
it, and brake it, and gave it to the 
disciples, and said, Take, eat; this 
is q my body. 

27 And he took the cup, and 
gave thanks, and gave it to them, 
saying, Drink ye all of it; 

28 For r this is my blood s of the 
new testament, which is shed { for 
many for the remission of sins. 

29 But I say unto you, I will not 
drink henceforth of this fruit of 
the vine, u until that day when I 
drink it new with you in my 
Father's kingdom. 

30 % And "when they had sung 
an 2 hymn, they went out into the 
mount of Olives. 

31 Then saith Jesus unto them, 
All *" ye shall x be offended because 
of me this night: for it is written, 
I y will smite the Shepherd, and 
the sheep of the flock shall be 
scattered abroad. 

32 But after I am risen again, z I 
will go before you into Galilee. 

33 Peter answered and said unto 
him, Though all men shall be of- 
fended because of thee, yet will I 
never be offended. 

34 Jesus said unto him, " Verily 
I say unto thee, That this night, 
berbre the cock crow, thou shalt 
deny me thrice. 

35 Peter said unto him, Though 
I should die with thee, yet will I 
not deny thee. Likewise also said 
all the disciples. 

36 f Then b cometh Jesus with 
them unto a place called Geth- 
semane, and saith unto the 



Christ s agony in the garden. MATTHEW, XXVL lie is accused before Caiaphas. 



disciples, Sit ye here,while I go and 
pray yonder. 

37 And he took with him Peter 
and c the two sons of Zehedee, and 
began to be sorrowful and very 
heavy. 

38 Then saith he unto them, d My 
soul is exceeding sorrowful, even 
unto death: tarry ye here, and 
watch e with me. 

39 And he went a little farther, 
and fell on his face, and / prayed, 
saying, 9 my Father, if it be 
possible, h let this cup pass from 
me : nevertheless * not as I will, 
but as thou wilt. 

40 And he cometh unto the dis- 
ciples, and findeth them asleep, 
and saith unto Peter, What! could 
ye not watch with me one hour? 

41 Watch i and pray, ', that ye 
enter not into temptation: the 
spirit indeed is willing, but the 
flesh is weak. 

42 He went away again the sec- 
ond time, and prayed, saying, 
my Father, if this cup may not 
pass away from me, except I drink 
it, thy will be done. 

43 And he came and found them 
asleep again: for their eyes were 
heavy. 

44 And he left them, and went 
away again, and prayed the third 
time^saying the same words. 

45 Then cometh he to his dis- 
ciples, and saith unto them, Sleep 
on now, and take your rest: be- 
hold, the hour is at hand, and the 
Son of man is betrayed into the 
hands of sinners. 

46 Kise, let us be going: behold, 
he is at hand that doth betray me. 

47 1f And k while he yet spake, 
lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, 
and with him a great multitude 
with swords and staves, from the 
chief priests and elders of the people. 

48 Now he that betrayed him 
gave them a sign, saying, Whom- 
soever I shall kiss, that same is he: 
hold him fast. 

49 And forthwith he came to 
Jesus, and said, Hail, Master! l and 
kissed him. 

50 And Jesus said unto him, 
3 Friend, wherefore art thou come? 
Then came they, and laid hands 
on Jesus, and took him. 

51 And, behold, m one of them 
which were with Jesus stretched 
out his hand, and drew his sword, 
and struck a servant of the high 
priest, and smote off his ear. 

52 Then said Jesus unto him,

Put n up again thy sword into his

sword shall perish with the sword. 

53 ThinkeSfc thou that I cannot 
now pray to my Father, and he 
shall presently give me p more than , 
twelve legions of angels? 

54 But how then shall q the Scrip- 
tures be fulfilled, that thus it must 
be? 

55 In that same hour said Jesus 
to the multitudes, Are ye come 
out as against a thief with swords 
and staves for to take me? 1 sat 
daily with you teaching in the 
temple, and ye laid no hold on 
me. 

56 But all this was done, that 
the r scriptures of the prophets 
might be fulfilled. Then 8 all 
the disciples forsook him, and 
fled. 

57 1 And ' they that had laid 
hold on Jesus led him away to 
Caiaphas the high priest, where 
the scribes and the elders were 
assembled. 

58 But Peter followed him afar 
off unto the high priest's palace, 
and went in, and sat with the 
servants, to see the end. 

59 Now the chief priests, and 
elders, and all the council, sought 
false witness against Jesus, to put 
him to death; 

60 But found none: yea, though 
many "false witnesses came, yet 
found they none. At the last came 
two v false witnesses, 

61 And said, This fellow said, w l 
am able to destroy the temple of 
God, and to build it in three 
days. 

62 And the high priest arose, and 
said unto him, Answerest thou 
nothing? what is it which these 
witness against thee? 

63 But x Jesus held Ms peace. 
And the high priest answered and 
said unto him, y I adjure thee by 
the living God, that thou tell us 
whether thou be the Christ, the 
Son of God. 

64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou 
hast said: nevertheless, I say unto 
you, * Hereafter shall ye see the 
Son -of .man a sitting on the right 
hand of power, and coming in the 
clouds of heaven. 

65 Then the high priest rent 6 his 
clothes, saying, He hath spoken 
blasphemy; what further need 
have we of witnesses? behold, now 
ye have heard his blasphemy. 

66 What think ye? They an-

swered and said, c He is guilty of 
death. I 

67 Then d did they spit m his 
face, and buffeted him; and "others 
smote him with 4 the palms of their 
hands, 

68 Saying, /Prophesy unto us, 
thou Christ, Who is he that smote 
thee? 

69 ^[ Now Peter sat without in 
the palace: and a damsel came unto 
him, saying, Thou also wast with 
Jesus of Galilee. 

70 But he denied before them all, 
saying, I know not what thou 
sayest. 

71 And when he was gone out 
into the porch, another maid saw 
him, and said unto them that were 
there, This fellow was also with 
Jesus of Nazareth. 

72 And again he denied with 
an oath, I do not know the 
man. 

73 And after a while came unto 
him they that stood by, and said 
to Peter, Surely thou also art one 
of them; for thy speech bewrayeth 
thee. 

74 Then began he to curse and 
to swear, saying, I know not the 
man. And immediately the cock 
crew. 

75 And Peter remembered the 
word of Jesus, which said unto 
him, Before the cock crow, thou 
shalt deny me thrice. And he 
went out, and 9 wept bitterly.

6 And the chief priests took the 
silver pieces, and said, It is not 
lawful for to put them into the 
treasury, because it is the price of 
blood. 

7 And they took counsel, and 
bought with them the potter's 
field, to bury strangers in. 

8 Wherefore that field was called, 
The field of blood, unto this day. 

9 Then was fulfilled that which 
was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, 
saying, e And they took the thirty 
pieces of silver, the price of him 
that was valued, l whom they 
of the children of Israel did value. 

10 And gave them for the 
potter's field, as the Lord ap- 
pointed me. 

11 % And Jesus stood before the 
governor: and /the governor asked 
him, saying, Art thou the King of 
the Jews? And Jesus said unto 
him, 9 Thou sayest. 

12 And when he was accused of 
the chief priests and elders, h he 
answered nothing. 

13 Then said Pilate unto him, 
Hearest Uhou not how many 
things they witness against thee? 

14 And he answered him to never 
a word; insomuch that the gov- 
ernor marvelled greatly. 

15 % Now & at that feast the 
governor was wont to release unto 
the people a prisoner, whom they 
would. 

16 And they had then a notable 
prisoner, called Barabbas. 

17 Therefore, when they were 
gathered together, Pilate said unto 
them, Whom will ye that I release 
unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which 
is called Christ? 

18 For he knew that for * envy 
they had delivered him. 

19 <[f When he was set down on 
the judgment seat, his wife sent 
unto him, saying, Have thou no- 
thing to do with that just man: 
for I have suffered many things 
this day in l a dream because of 
him. 

20 But "Hhe chief priests and 
elders persuaded the multitude 
that they should ask Barabbas, 
and destroy Jesus. 

21 The governor answered and 
said unto them, Whether of the 
twain will ye that I release unto 
you? They said, Barabbas.

is called Christ? They all say 
unto him, Let him be crucified. 

23 And the governor said, Why, 
what evil hath he done? But they 
cried out the more, saying, Let him 
be crucified. 

24 When Pilate saw that he 
could prevail nothing, but that 
rather a tumult was made, "he 
took water, and washed his hands 
before the multitude, saying, I am 
innocent of the blood of this just 
person: see ye to it. 

25 Then answered all the people, 
and said, ° His blood be on us, and 
on our children. 

26 Then released he Barabbas 
unto them: and when ^he had 
scourged Jesus, he delivered him 
to be crucified. 

27 ^ Then the soldiers of the 
governor took Jesus into the 2 com- 
mon hall, and gathered unto him 
the whole band of soldiers. 

28 And they stripped him, 
and q put on him a scarlet robe. 

29 f And r when they had platted 
a crown of thorns, they put it upon 
his head, and a reed in his right 
hand: and they bowed the knee 
before him, and mocked him, say- 
ing, Hail, King of the Jews! 

30 And * they spit upon him, and 
took the reed, and ' smote him on 
the head. 

31 . And after that they had 
mocked him, they took the robe 
off from him, and put his own rai- 
ment on him, u and led him away 
to crucify him. 

32 And v as they came out, w they 
found a man of Cyrene, Simon by 
name: him they compelled to bear 
nis cross. 

33 And when they were come 
unto a place called Golgotha, that 
is to say, A place of a skull, 

34 They x gave him vinegar to 
drink mingled with gall: and when 
he had tasted thereof, he would not 
drink. 

35 And they crucified him, and 
parted his garments, casting lots: 
that it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by the prophet, ^They 
parted my garments among them, 
and upon my vesture did they 
cast lots. 

36 Andsitting down they watched 
him there; 

37 And set up over his head 
his accusation written, THIS IS

right hand, and another on the left. 

39 \ And °they that passed 
by reviledhim, waggingtheir heads, 

40 And saying, & Thou that 
destroyest the temple, and buildest 
it in three days, save thyself. If 
thou be the Son of God, come 
down from the cross. 

41 Likewise also the chief priests, 
mocking him, with the scribes and 
elders, said, 

42 He saved others; himself he 
cannot save. If he be the King of 
Israel, let him now come down from 
the cross, and we will believe him. 

43 He c trusted in God; let him 
deliver him now, if he will have 
him : for he said, I am the Son of God. 

44 The d thieves also, which were 
crucified with him, cast the same 
in his teeth. 

45 f Now "from the sixth hour 
there was darkness over all the 
land unto the ninth hour. 

46 And about the ninth hour 
Jesus /cried with a loud voice, 
saying, Eli! Eh! lama sabachthani? 
that is to say, * My God! my God! 
why hast thou forsaken me? 

47 Some of them that stood 
there, when they heard that, said, 
This man calleth for Elias. 

48 And straightway one of them 
ran, and took a sponge, h and filled 
it with vinegar, and put it on a 
reed, and gave him to drink. 

49 The rest said, Let be, let us 
see whether Elias will come to 
save him. 

50 ^ Jesus, when he had cried 
again with a loud voice, yielded 
up the ghost. 

51 And, behold, * the veil of the 
temple was rent in twain from the 
top to the bottom; and i the 
earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 

52 And the graves were opened; 
and k many bodies of the saints 
which slept arose, 

53 And came out of the graves 
after his resurrection, and went 
into the holy city, and appeared 
unto many. 

54 Now 'when the centurion, 
and they that were with him 
watching Jesus, saw the earth- 
quake, and those things that 
were done, they feared greatly, 
saying, Truly this was the Son of 
God. 

55 And many women were there 
beholding afar off, m which followed 
Jesus from Galilee, ministering 
unto him: «•

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO 



S MARK. 



CHAPTER I. 
1 John Baptist's offi.ce. 9 Jesus baptized: 
12 he is tempted, 14 preacheth, lGcaUeih 
Peter and others, 32 and cureth many. 

THE beginning of the gospel of 
Jesus Christ, a the Son of God; 

2 As it is written in the Prophets, 
Behold, & I send my messenger be- 
fore thy face, which shall prepare 
thy way before thee. 

3 The c voice of one crying in the 
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of 
the Lord, make his paths straight. 

4 John did baptize in the wilder- 
ness, and preach the baptism of re- 
pentance x for the remission of sins. 

5 And there went out unto him 
all the land of Judea, and they of 
Jerusalem, and were all baptized 
of him in the river of Jordan, con- 
fessing their sins. 

6 And John was clothed with 
camel's hair, and with a girdle of 
a skin about his loins; and he did 
eat d locusts and wild honey; 

7 And preached, saying, 6 There 
cometh one mightier than I after 
me, the latchet of whose shoes I 
am not worthy to stoop down and 
unloose. 

8 1/ indeed have baptized you 
with water; but he shall baptize 
you 9 with the Holy Ghost. 

9 1f And h it came to pass in those 
days, that Jesus came from Naza- 
reth of Galilee, and was baptized 
of John in Jordan. 

10 And * straightway coming up 
out of the water, he saw the heav- 
ens 2 opened, and the Spirit like 
a dove descending upon him: 

11 And there came a voice from 
heaven, saying, $ Thou art my 
beloved Son, in whom I am well 
pleased. 

12 % And k immediately the Spirit 
driveth him into the wilderness. 

13 And he was there in the 
wilderness forty days, tempted of 
Satan; and was with the wild 
beasts; z and the angels ministered 
unto him. 

14 f Now after that John was put 
in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, 
preaching m the gospel of the 
lringdom of God, 

15 And saying, n The time is 
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God 
is at hand: repent ye, and believe 
the Gospel.

16 ^[ Now ° as he walked by the 
sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and 
Andrew his brother casting a net 
into the sea: for they were fishers. 

17 And Jesus said unto them, 
Come ye after me, and I will make 
you to become fishers of men. 

18 And straightway ^tkey for- 
sook their nets, and followed him. 

19 And ? when he had gone a 
little farther thence, he saw James 
the son of Zebedee, and John his 
brother, who also were in the 
ship mending their nets. 

20 And straightway he called 
them: and they left their father 
Zebedee in the ship with the hired 
servants, and went after him. 

21 And r they went into Caper- 
naum; and straightway on the 
sabbath day he entered into the 
synagogue, and taught. 

22 And s they were astonished at 
his doctrine: for he taught them 
as one that had authority, and not 
as the scribes. 

23 And * there was in their syna- 
gogue a man with an unclean 
spirit; and he cried out, 

24 Saying, Let us alone; M what 
have we to do with thee, thou 
Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come 
to destroy us? I know thee who 
thou art, the v Holy One of God. 

25 And Jesus rebuked him, say- 
ing, Hold thy peace, and come out 
of him. 

26 And when the unclean spirit 
had w torn him, and cried with a 
loud voice, he came out of him. 

27' And they were all amazed, 
insomuch that they questioned 
among themselves, saying, What 
thing is this? what new doctrine 
is this? for with authority com- 
mandeth he even the unclean 
spirits, and they do obey him. 

28 And immediately his fame 
spread abroad throughout all the 
region round about Galilee. 

29 fl And* forthwith, when they 
were come out of the synagogue, 
they entered into the house of 
Simon and Andrew, with James 
and John. 

30 But Simon's wife's mother lay 
sick of a fever, and anon they tell 
him of her. 

31 And he came and took her by 
the hand, and lifted her up; y and

and one sick of the palsy. 



immediately the fever left her, and 
she ministered unto them. 

32 f And z at even, when the 
sun did set, they brought unto 
him all that were diseased, and 
them that were possessed with 
devils. 

33 And all the city was gathered 
together at the door. 

34 And he healed many that 
were sick of divers diseases, and 
cast out many devils; and "suffered 
not the devils 3 to speak, because 
they knew him. 

35 ^ And h in the morning, rising 
up a great while before day, he 
went out, and departed into a soli- 
tary place, and c there prayed. 

36 And Simon and they that 
were with him followed after him. 

37 And when they had found 
him, they said unto him, All men 
seek for thee. 

38 And he said unto them, d Let 
us go into the next towns, that I 
may preach there also : for 6 there- 
fore came I forth. 

39 And /he preached in their 
synagogues throughout all Galilee, 
and 9 cast out devils. 

40 \ And h there came a leper to 
him, beseeching bim , and kneeling 
down to him, and saying unto 
him, If thou wilt, thou canst ^make 
me clean. 

41 And Jesus, i moved with com- 
passion, put forth his hand, and 
touched him, and saith unto him, 
I will; be thou clean. 

42 And as soon as he had spoken, 
immediately the leprosy departed 
from him, and he was cleansed. 

43 And he straitly charged him, 
and forthwith sent him away; 

44 And saith. unto him, See thou 
say nothing to any man: but* go 
thy way, show thyself to the priest, 
and offer for thy cleansing those 
things k which Moses commanded, 
for a testimony unto them. 

45 But l he went out, and began 
to publish it much, and to blaze 
abroad the matter, insomuch that 
Jesus could no more openly enter 
into the city, but was without in 
desert places: m and they came to 
him from every quarter.

2 And straightway many were 
gathered together, insomuch that 
there was no room to receive them, 
no, not so much as about the door: 
and he 6 preached the word unto 
them. 

3 And they come unto him, 
bringing one sick of the pals3% 
which was borne of four. 

4 And when they could not come 
nigh unto him for the press, they 
uncovered the roof where he was: 
and when they had broken it up, 
they let down the bed wherein the 
sick of the palsy lay. 

5 When Jesus c saw their faith, he 
said unto the sick of the palsy, 
d Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 

6 But there were certain of the 
scribes sitting there, and reasoning 
in their hearts, 

7 Why doth this man thus speak 
blasphemies? 6 who can forgive sins 
but God only? 

8 And immediately /when Jesus 
perceived in his spirit that they 
so reasoned within themselves, he 
said unto them, Why reason ye 
these things in your hearts? 

9 Whether 9 is it easier to say to 
the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be 
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and 
take up thy bed, and walk? 

10 But that ye may know that 
the h Son of man hath power on 
earth to forgive sins, (he saith to 
the sick of the palsy,) 

11 1 say unto thee, Arise, and take 
up thy bed, and go thy way into 
thine house. 

12 And * immediately he arose, 
took up the bed, and went forth 
before them all; insomuch that 
they were all amazed, and glorified 
God, saying, We never saw it on 
this fashion. 

13 1f And i he went forth again 
by the sea-side; and all the multi- 
tude resorted unto him, and he 
taught them. 

14 And *as he passed by, he saw 
Levi the son of Alpheus sitting x at 
the receipt of custom, and said unto 
him, Follow me. And he arose 
and followed him. 

15 And l it came to pass, that, as 
Jesus sat at meat in his house, 
many publicans and sinners sat 
also together with Jesus and his 
disciples: for there were many, and 
they followed him. 

16 And when m the scribes and 
Pharisees saw him eat with publi- 
cans and sinners, they said unto 
his disciples, How is it that he

eateth and drinketh with publicans 
and sinners? 

17 When Jesus heard it, he saith 
unto them, n They that are whole 
have no need of the physician, hut 
they that are sick: I came not to 
call the righteous, hut sinners to 
repentance. 

18 % And ° the disciples of John 
and of the Pharisees used to fast: 
and they come and say unto him, 
Why do the disciples of John and 
of the Pharisees fast, but thy dis- 
ciples fast not? 

19 And Jesus said unto them, 
Can the children of ^the bride- 
chamber fast while the bridegroom 
is with them? as long as they have 
the 9 bridegroom with them, they 
cannot fast. 

20 But the days will come, when 
the bridegroom shall be taken 
away from them, and then shall 
they fast in those days. 

.21 No man also seweth a piece 
of 2 new cloth on an old garment; 
else the new piece that filled it 
up taketh away from the old, and 
the rent is made worse. 

22 And no man putteth new wine 
into old bottles; else the new wine 
doth burst the bottles, and the 
wine is spilled, and the bottles will 
be marred: but new wine must be 
put into new bottles. 

23 ^ And r it came to pass, that 
he went through the corn fields on 
the sabbath day; and his disciples 
began, as they went, s to pluck the 
ears of corn. 

24 And the Pharisees said unto 
him, Behold, why do they on the 
sabbath day that which is not 
lawful? 

25 And he said unto them, Have 
ye never read 'what David did, 
when he had need, and was an 
hungered, he, and they that were 
with him? 

26 How he went into the house 
of God in the days of Abiathar the 
high priest, and did eat the show- 
bread, u which is not lawful to eat 
but for the priests, and gave also 
to them which were with him? 

27 And he said unto them, The 
sabbath was made for man, and 
not man for the sabbath: 

28 Therefore " the Son of man is 
Lord also of the sabbath.

2 And they watched him, wheth- 
er he would heal him on the 
sabbath day; that they might 
accuse him. 

3 And he saith unto the man 
which had the withered hand, 
1 Stand forth. 

4 And he saith unto them, Is it 
lawful to do good on the sabbath 
days, or to do evil? to save life, 
or to kih? But they held their 
peace. 

5 And when he had looked round 
about on them with h anger, being 
grieved for the 2 hardness of their 
hearts, he saith unto the man, 
Stretch forth thine hand. And 
he stretched it out: and his hand 
was restored whole as the other. 

6 And c the Pharisees went forth, 
and straightway' took counsel 
with d the Herodians against him, 
how they might destroy him. 

7 ^ But Jesus withdrew himself 
with his disciples to the sea: and 
a great multitude from Galilee 
followed him, 6 and from Judea, 

8 And from Jerusalem, and from 
Idumea, and from beyond Jordan; 
and they about Tyre and Sidon, a 
great multitude, when they had 
heard what great things he did, 
came unto him. 

9 And he spake to his disciples, 
that a small ship should wait on 
him because of the multitude, lest 
they should throng him: 

10 For he had healed many; in- 
somuch that they 3 pressed upon 
him for to touch him, as many as 
had plagues. 

11 And /unclean spirits, when

and cried, saying, 9 Thou art the 
Son of God.

them that they should not make

14 And he ordained twelve, that

20 % And the multitude cometh 
together again, m so that they could 
not so much as eat bread. 

21 And when his 5 friends heard 
of it, they went out to lay hold on 
him: for they said, He is beside 
himself. 

22 1f And the scribes which came 
down from Jerusalem said, " He 
hath Beelzebub, and by the prince 
of the devils casteth he out devils. 

23 And °he called them unto him, 
and said unto them in parables, 
How can Satan cast out Satan? 

24 And if a kingdom be divided 
against itself, that kingdom can- 
not stand. 

25 And if a house be divided 
against itself, that house cannot 
stand. 

26 And if Satan rise up against 
himself, and be divided, he cannot 
stand, but hath an end.

31 1f There s came then his breth- 
ren and his mother, and, standing 
without, sent unto him, calling him. 

32 And the multitude sat about 
him; and they said unto him, Be- 
hold, *thy mother and thy

ing, Who is my mother, or my

CHAPTER IV. 

1 The parable of the sower: 14 the mean- 
ing thereof. 26 Of the seed growing 
secretly, etc. 

AND a he began again to teach 
by the sea-side: and there was 
gathered unto him a great multi- 
tude, so that he entered into a 
ship, and sat in the sea; and the 
whole multitude was by the sea on 
the land. 

2 And he taught them many 
things by parables, 6 and said unto 
them in his doctrine, 

3 Hearken; Behold, there went 
out a sower to sow: 

4 And it came to pass, as he 
sowed, some fell by the way-side, 
and the fowls of the air came and 
devoured it up. 

5 And some fell on stony ground, 
where it had not much earth; and 
immediately it sprang up, because 
it had no depth of earth: 

6 But when the sun was up, it 
was scorched; and because it had 
no root, it withered away. 

7 And some fell among thorns, 
and the thorns grew up, and 
choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 

8 And other fell on good ground, 
and c did yield fruit that sprang 
up and increased; and brought 
forth, some thirty, and some sixty, 
and some an hundred. 

9 And he said unto them, He 
that hath ears to hear, let him 
hear. 

10 ^[ And when he was alone, 
they that were about him with 
the twelve d asked of him the par- 
able. 

11 And he said unto them, Unto 
you it is given to know the e mys- 
tery of the kingdom of God: but 
unto •''them that are without, all 
these things are done in parables: 

12 That 9 seeing they may see, 
and not perceive; and hearing they 
may hear, and not understand; 
lest at any time they should be 
converted, and their sins should be 
forgiven them. 

13 And he said unto them. Know 
ye not this parable? and how then 
will ye know all parables? 

14 ^ The ft sower soweth the 
word. 

15 And these are they by the 
way-side, where the word is sown; 
but, when they have heard, * Satan 
cometh immediately, and taketh 
away the word that was sown in 
their hearts. 

16 And these are they likewise 



The parable of the mustard seed. 



MAEK, V. 



Christ stilleth a tempest. 



which are sown on stony ground; 
who, when they have heard the 
word, immediately receive it with 



A.D. 



17 And have •>' no root in them- 
selves, and so endure but for a 
time: afterward, when affliction or 
persecution ariseth for the word's 
sake, immediately they are of- 
fended. 

18 And these are they which are 
sown among thorns; such as hear 
the word, 

19 And the cares of this world, 
and k the deceitfulness of riches, and 
the lusts of other things entering 
in, choke the word, and it becom- 
eth unfruitful. 

20 And these are they which are 
sown on good J ground; such as hear 
the word, and receive it, and bring 
forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some 
sixty, and some an hundred. 

21 % And m he said unto them, Is 
a candle brought to be put under 
1 a bushel, or under a bed? and not 
to be set on a candlestick? 

22 For "■ there is nothing hid, 
which shall not be manifested; 
neither was any thing kept secret, 
but that it should come abroad. 

23 If any man have ears to hear, 
let him hear. 

24 And he said unto them, 1 ' Take 
heed what ye hear: 2 with what 
measure ye mete, it shall be meas- 
ured to you; and unto you that 
hear shall more be given. 

25 For r he that hath, to him 
shall be given; and he that hath 
not, from him shall be taken even 
that which he hath. 

26 ^ And he said, s So is the king- 
dom of God, as if a man should 
cast seed into the ground; 

27 And should sleep, and rise 
night and day, and the seed should 
spring and grow up, he knoweth 
not how. 

28 For the earth bringeth forth 
fruit of herself; first the blade, 
then the ear, after that the full 
corn in the ear. 

29 But when the fruit is 2 brought 
forth, immediately * he putteth in 
the sickle, because the harvest is 
come. 

30 f And he said, u Whereunto 
shall we liken the kingdom of God? 
or with what comparison shall we 
compare it? 

31 It is like a grain of mustard 
seed, which, when it is sown in the 
earth, is less than all the seeds that 
be in the earth:

32 But when it is sown, it "grow-

all herbs, and shooteth out great 
branches; so that the fowls of the 
air may lodge under the shadow 
of it. 

33 And w with many such para- 
bles spake he the word unto them, 
as they were able to hear it. 

34 But without a parable spake 
he not unto them: and when they 
were alone, he expounded all 
things to his disciples. 

35 % And * the same day, when 
the even was come, he saith unto 
them, Let us pass over unto the 
other side. 

36 And when they had sent away 
the multitude, they took him even 
as he was in the ship. And there 
were also with him other little 
ships. 

37 And there arose a great storm 
of wind, and the waves beat into 
the ship, so that it was now full. 

38 And he was in the hinder part 
of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and 
they awake him, and say unto him, 
Master, carest thou not that we 
perish? 

39 And he arose, and y rebuked 
the wind, and said unto the sea, 
Peace, be still. And the wind 
ceased, and there was a great calm. 

40 And he said unto them, Why 
are ye so fearful? how is it that ye 
have no faith? 

41 And they * feared exceedingly, 
and said one to another, What 
manner of man is this, that even 
the wind and the sea obey him? 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Christ casteth out the legion of devils:

AND a they came over unto the 
other side of the sea, into the 
country of the Gadarenes. 

2 And when he was come out of 
the ship, immediately there met 
him out of the tombs a man with 
an unclean spirit, 

3 Who had his dwelling among 
the tombs; and no man could bind 
him, no, not with chains: 

4 Because that he had been often 
bound with fetters and chains, and 
the chains had been plucked 
asunder by him, and the fetters 
broken in pieces: neither could any 
man tame him. 

5 And always, night and day, he 
was in the mountains, and in the 
tombs, crying, and cutting himself 
with stones. 



Christ casteth out a legion of devils. MAEK, Y. 



He healeth a bloody issue. 



6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, 
he ran and b worshipped him, 

'7 And cried with a loud voice, 
and said, What have I to do with 
thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most 
high God? I adjure thee by God, 
that thou torment me not. 

8 (For he said unto him, Come 
out of the man, thou unclean spirit. ) 

9 And he asked him, What is thy 
name? And he answered, saying, 
My name is Legion: for we are 
many. 

10 And he besought him much 
that he would not send them away 
out of the country. 

11 Now there was there, nigh 
unto the mountains, a great herd 
of c swine feeding. 

12 And all the devils besought 
him, saying. Send us into the swine, 
that we may enter into them. 

13 And forthwith Jesus d gave 
them leave. And the unclean 
spirits went out, and entered into 
the swine: and the herd ran 
violently down a steep place into 
the sea, (they were about two 
thousand,) and were choked in 
the sea. 

14 And they that fed the swine 
fled, and told it in the city, and in 
the country. And they went out 
to see what it was that was done. 

15 And they come to Jesus, and 
see him that was possessed with the 
devil, and had the legion, sitting, 
and clothed, and 6 in his right 
mind: and they were afraid. 

16 And they that saw it told them 
how it befell to him that was pos- 
sessed with the devil, and also 
concerning the swine. 

17 And/ they began to pray him 
to depart out of then coasts. 

18 And when he was come into 
the ship, he 9 that had been pos- 
sessed with the devil prayed him 
that he might be with him. 

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him 
not, but saith unto him, Go home 
to thy Mends, and tell them how 
great things the Lord hath done 
for thee, and hath had compassion 
on thee. 

20 And he departed, and 7 * began 
to publish in Decapolis how great 
things Jesus had done for him : 
and all men did marvel. 

21 \ And *when Jesus was passed 
over again by ship unto the other 
side, much people gathered unto 
him: and he was nigh unto the 
sea.

him, Thou seest the multitude 
thronging thee, and sayest thou, 
Who touched me? 

32 And he looked round about 
to see her that had done this 
thing. 

33 But the woman, fearing and 
trembling, knowing wTtat was 
done in her, came and fell down 
before him, and told him all the 
truth. 

34 And he said unto her, Daugh- 
ter, p thy faith hath made thee 
whole; go in peace, and be whole 
of thy plague. 

35 % While q he yet spake, there 
came from the ruler of the syna- 
gogue's house certain which said, 
Thy daughter is dead: why troub- 
lest thou the Master any fur- 
ther? 

36 As soon as Jesus heard the 
word that was spoken, he saith 
unto the ruler of the synagogue, 
Be r not afraid, only believe. 

37 And he suffered no man to 
follow him, save Peter, and James, 
and John the brother of James.

wept and wailed greatly. 

39 And when he was come in, 
he saith unto them, "Why make 
ye this ado, and weep? the damsel 
is not dead, but 8 sleepeth. 

40 And they laughed him to 
scorn. But * when he had put 
them all out, he taketh the father 
and the mother of the damsel, and 
them that were with him, and 
entereth in where the damsel was 
lying. 

41 And he took the damsel by 
the hand, and said unto her, 
Talitha cumi; which is, being in- 
terpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, 
arise. 

42 And M straightway the damsel 
arose, and walked; for she was of 
the age of twelve years. And they 
were astonished with a great 
astonishment. 

43 And v he charged them 
straitly that no man should know 
it; and commanded that some- 
thing should be given her to eat.

2 And when the sabbath day 
was come, he began to teach in 
the synagogue: and many hearing 
him were astonished, saying, 6 From 
whence hath this man these things?

given unto him, that even such 
mighty works are wrought by his 
hands? 

3 Is c not this the carpenter, the 
son of Mary, d the brother of James,

him.

among his own kin, and in his 
own house.

phets.

thereof he said, It is John, whom I 
beheaded: he is risen from the 
dead. 

17 For Herod himself had sent 
forth and laid hold upon John, 
and bound him in prison for 
Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's 
wife; for he had married her. 

18 For John had said unto Herod, 
It t is not lawful for thee to have 
thy brother's wife. 

19 Therefore Herodias had 3 a 
quarrel against him, and would 
have killed him; but she could 
not: 

20 For Herod w feared John, 
knowing that he was a just man 
and an holy, and 4 observed him; 
and when he heard him, he did 
many things, and heard him 
gladly.

the said Herodias came in, x and

said mito the damsel, Ask of me 
whatsoever thou wilt, and I will 
give it thee. 

23 And he sware unto her, 
Whatsoever ' thou shaft ask of 
me, I will give it thee, unto the 
half of my kingdom. 

24 And she went forth, and said 
unto her mother. What shall I 
askr And she said, z The head of 
John the Baptist. 

25 And she came in straightway 
with haste unto the king, and 
asked, saying. I will that thou 
give me by and by in a charger 
the head of John the Baptist. 

26 And the king was exceeding 
sorry: yet for his oaths sake, and 

: for "their sakes which sat with 
him, he would not reject her. 

27 And imme diately the king 
sent 5 an executioner! and com-

37 He answered and said unto 
them, Give ye them to eat. And 
they say unto him, h Shall we go 
and buy two hundred 6 penny- 
worth of bread, and give them to 
eat? 

35 He saith unto them. How

make all sit down ; by companies 
-upon the green grass. * 
4 1 And they sat down in ranks, 
by hundreds, and by fifties. 

41 And when he had taken the 
five loaves and the two fishes, he 
looked up to heaven, and i blessed,

then to his disciples to set before

tain to pray.

wondered. 

52 For n they considered not tJie

heart was hardened. 

53 And p when they had passed 
over, they came into the land of 
Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 

54 And when they were come 
out of the ship, straightway they 
knew him,

region round about, and began to 
carry about in beds those that

THEN" came together unto 
him the Pharisees, and certain 
of the scribes, which came from 
Jerusalem. 

2 And when they saw some of 
his disciples eat bread with x de- 
filed (that isto say, with unwashen) 
hands, they found fault. 

3 (For the Pharisees, and all the 
Jews, except they wash their hands 
2 oft, eat not, holding the tradition 
of the elders. 

4 And when they come from the 
market, except they wash, they 
eat not. And many other things 
there be which they have received 
to hold, as the washing of cups, 
and 3 pots, brazen vessels, and of 
^tables.) 

5 Then l the Pharisees and scribes 
asked him, "Why walk not thy 
disciples according to the tradi- 
tion of the elders, but eat bread 
with unwashen hands? 

6 He answered and said unto 
them, Well hath Esaias prophesied

9 And he said unto them, Full 
well ye 5 reject the commandment 
of God, that ye may keep your own 
tradition. 

10 For Moses said, d Honour thy 
father and thy mother; and, 
Whoso e curseth father or mother, 
let him die the death: 

11 But ye say, If a man shall say 
to his father or mother, It is f Cor- 
ban, (that is to say, a gift,) by 
whatsoever thou mightest be pro- 
fited by me; he shall be free. 

12 And ye suffer him no more to 
do ought for his father or his 
mother; 

13 Making the word of God of 
none effect through your tradi- 
tion, which ye have delivered: 
and many such like things do ye. 

14 % And when he had called all 
the people unto him, he said unto 
them, Hearken unto me every one 
of you, and understand: 

15 There is 9 nothing from with- 
out a man, that entering into him 
can defile him: but the things 
which come out of him, those are 
they that defile the man. 

16 If h any man have ears to hear, 
let him hear. 

17 And i when he was entered into 
the house from the people, his dis- 
ciples asked him concerning the 
parable. 

18 And he saith unto them, Are 
ye so without understanding also? 
Do ye not perceive, that whatso- 
ever thing from without entereth 
into the man, it cannot defile 
him; 

19 Because it entereth not into 
his heart, but into the belly, and 
goeth out into the draught, purg- 
ing all meats? 

20 And he said, That which 
cometh out of the man, that de- 
fileth the man. 

2L For 3 from within, out of the 
heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, 
adulteries, fornications, murders, 

22 Thefts, 6 covetousnesSj wicked- 
ness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil 
eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 

23 All these evil things come from 
within, and defile the man. 

24 % And * from thence he arose, 
and went into the borders of Tyre 
and Sidon, and entered into an 
house, and would have no man 
know it: but he could not be hid. 

25 For a certain woman, whose 
young daughter had an unclean

spirit, heard of Mm, and came and 
fell at his feet: 

26 The woman was a 7 Greek, a 
Syrophenician by nation; and she 
besought him that he would cast 
forth the devil out of her daughter. 

27 But Jesus said unto her, l Let 
the children first be filled: for it is 
not meet to take the children's 
bread, and to cast it unto the 
dogs. 

28 And she answered and said 
unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs 
under the table eat of the children's 
crumbs. 

29 And he said unto her, For this 
saying go thy way; the devil is 
gone out of thy daughter. 

30 And when she was come to 
her house, she found TO the devil 
gone out, and her daughter laid 
upon the bed. 

31 % And n again, departing from 
the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he 
came unto the sea of Galilee, 
through the midst of the coasts of 
Decapolis. 

32 And °they bring unto him 
one that was deaf, and had an im- 
pediment in his speech; and they 
beseech him to put his hand upon 
him. * 

33 And he took him aside from 
the multitude, and put his fingers 
into his ears, and he ^spit, and 
touched his tongue; 

34 And, q looking up to heaven, 
he r sighed, and saith unto him, 
Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 

35 And s straightway his ears 
were opened, and the string of his 
tongue was loosed, and he spake 
plain. 

36 And f he charged them that 
they should tell no man: but the 
more he charged them, so much 
the more a great deal they pub- 
lished it; 

37 And were beyond measure 
astonished, saying, "He hath done 
all things well: he maketh both 
the deaf to hear, and the dumb to 
speak.

4 And his disciples answered him,

12 And he sighed deeply in his 
spirit, and saith, Why doth this 
generation seek after a sign? 
Verily I say unto you, There shall 
no sign be given unto this gener- 
ation. 

13 And he left them, and, enter- 
ing into the ship again, departed 
to the other side. 

14 % Now i the disciples had for- 
gotten to take bread, neither had 
they in the ship with them more 
than one loaf. 

15 And i he charged them, saying, 
Take heed, beware of the leaven 
of the Pharisees, and of the leaven 
of Herod. 

16 And they reasoned among 
themselves, saying, It is k because 
we have no bread. 

17 And when Jesus knew«Y, he 
saith unto them, Why reason ye 
because ye have no bread? per- 
ceive ye not yet, neither under- 
stand? have ye your heart yet 
hardened? 

18 Having eyes, see ye not? and 
having ears, hear ye not? and do 
ye not remember?

19 When m I brake the five loaves 
among five thousand, how many- 
baskets full of fragments took ye 
up? They say unto him, Twelve. 

20 And when the seven among 
four thousand, how many baskets 
full of fragments took ye up? And 
they said, Seven. 

< 21 And he said unto them, How 
is it "that ye do not understand? 

22 \ And he comethto Bethsaida; 
and they bring a blind man unto 
him, and besought him to touch 
him. 

23 And he took the blind man 
by the hand, and led him out of 
the town; and when p he had spit 
on his eyes, and put bis hands 
upon him, he asked him if he saw 
ought. 

24 And he looked up, and said, 
I see men as trees, walking. 

25 After that he put his hands 
again upon his eyes, and made 
him look up: and he was restored, 
and saw every man clearly. 

26 And he sent him away to his 
house, saying, Neither go into the 
town, q nor tell it to any in the 
town. 

27 f And r Jesus went out, and 
his disciples, into the towns of 
Cesarea Philippi: and by the way 
he asked his disciples, saying unto 
them, Whom do men say that I 
am? 

28 And they answered, * John the 
Baptist: but some say, Elias; and 
others, One of the prophets. 

29 And he saith unto them. But 
whom say ye that I am? And Peter 
answereth and saith unto him, 
Thou t art the Christ. 

30 And M he charged them that 
they should tell no man of him. 

31 ^ And "he began to teach 
them, that the Son of man must 
suffer many things, and be rejected 
of the elders, and of the chief 
priests, and scribes, and be killed, 
and after three days rise again. 

32 And he 6pake that saying 
openly. And Peter took him, and 
began to rebuke him. 

33 But when he had turned about, 
and looked on his disciples, he 
rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee 
behind me, Satan: w for thou 
savourest not the things that be of 
God, but the things that be of 
men.

people unto Mm, with his disciples 
also, he said unto them, x Whoso-

CHAPTER IX. 

2 Jesus transfigured: 11 he instnicteth his 
disciples concerning JElias; 14 casteth 
forth a dumb and deaf spirit; 3Ufore- 
telleth his death, etc. 



AND he said unto them, a Verily 
I say unto you, That there be 
some of them that stand here. 



which shall not taste of death, till 
they have seen b the kingdom of 
God come with power. 

2 <H And c after six days Jesus 
taketh with him Peter, and James, 
and John, and leadeth them up 
into an. high mountain apart by 
themselves: and he was transfig- 
ured before them. 

3 And his raiment became shin- 
ing, exceeding d white as snow; so 
as no fuller on earth can white 
them. 

4 And there appeared unto them 
Elias with Moses: and they were 
talking with Jesus. 

5 And Peter answered and said 
to Jesus, Master, it is good for us 
to be here: and let us make three 
tabernacles; one for thee, and one 
for Moses, and one for Elias. 

6 For he wist not what to say; 
for they were sore afraid. 

7 And there was 6 a cloud that 
overshadowed them: and a voice 
came out of the cloud, saying, 
This is my beloved Son: / hear 
him . 

8 And suddenly, when they had 
looked round about, they saw no 
man any more, save Jesus only 
with themselves. 

9 And 9 as they came down from 
the mountain, he charged them 
that they should tell no man what 
things they had seen, till the Son 
of man were risen from the dead. 

10 And they kept that saying

with themselves, questioning one 
with another what the rising from 
the dead should mean. 

11 % And they asked him, saying, 
Why say the scribes h that Elias 
must first come? 

12 And he answered and told 
them, Elias verily cometh first, 
and restoreth all things; and * how 
it is written of the Son of man, 
that he must suffer many things, 
and i he set at nought. 

13 But I say unto you, * That 
Elias is indeed come, and they 
have done unto him whatsoever 
they listed, as it is written of 
him. 

14 f And * when he came to his 
disciples, he saw a great multitude 
about them, and the scribes ques- 
tioning with them. 

15 And straightway all the peo- 
ple, when they beheld him, were 
greatly amazed, and running to 
him saluted liim. 

16 And he asked the scribes, 
What question ye 1 with them? 

17 And m one of the multitude 
answered and said, Master, I have 
brought unto thee my son, which 
hath a dumb spirit: 

18 And wheresoever he takethhim, 
he 2 teareth him; and he foameth, 
and gnasheth with his teeth, and 
pineth away: and I spake to thy 
disciples that they should cast him 
out; and they could not. 

19 He answereth him, and saith, 
faithless generation, how long 
shall I be with you ? how long 
shall I suffer you? Bring him unto 
me. 

20 And they brought him unto 
him: and when "he saw him, 
straightway the spirit tare him; 
and he feu on the ground, and 
wallowed foaming. 

21 And he asked his father, How 
long is it ago since this came unto 
him? And he said, Of a child. 

22 And ofttimes it hath cast him 
into the fire, and into the waters, 
to destroy him: but if thou canst 
do any thing, have compassion on 
us, and help us. 

23 Jesus said unto him, ° If thou 
canst believe, all things are possible 
to him that believeth. 

24 And straightway the father of 
the child cried out, and said with 
tears, Lord, I believe; p help thou 
mine unbelief.

people came running together, he 
rebuked ? the foul spirit, saying

spirit, I charge thee, come out of 
him, and enter no more into him. 

26 And the spirit cried, and rent 
him sore, and came out of him : 
and he was as one dead; insomuch 
that many said, He is dead. 

27 But Jesus took him by the 
hand, and lifted him up; and he 
arose. 

28 And r when he was come into 
the house, his disciples asked him 
privately, Why could not we cast 
him out? 

29 And he said unto them, This 
kind can come forth by nothing 
but by prayer and fasting. 

30 \ And they departed thence, 
and passed through Galilee; and 
he would not that any man shoulu 
know it. 

31 Fbr * he taught his disciples, 
and said unto them, The Son of 
man is delivered into the hands of 
men, and they shall kill him; and 
after that he is killed, he shall rise 
the third day. 

32 But they understood not that 
saying, and were afraid to ask 
him. 

33 \ And ' he came to Caper- 
naum: and, being in the house, he 
asked them, What was it that ye 
disputed among yourselves by the 
way? 

34 But they held their peace: w for 
by the way they had disputed 
among themselves, who should be 
the greatest. 

35 And he sat down, and called 
the twelve, and saith unto them, 
If * any man desire to be first, the 
same shall be last of all, and ser- 
vant of all. 

36 And w he took a child, and set 
him in the midst of them: and 
when he had taken him in his 
arms, he said unto them, 

37 Whosoever shall receive one of 
such children in my name, receiv- 
eth me : and * whosoever shall 
receive me, receiveth not me, but 
him that sent me. 

38 f And y John answered him, 
saying, Master, we saw one casting 
out devils in thy name, and he 
followeth not us: and we forbade 
him, because he followeth not us. 

39 But Jesus said, Forbid him 
not: " for there is no man which 
shall do a miracle in my name, 
that can lightly speak evil of me. 

40 For ° he that is not against us 
is on our part.

42 And c whosoever shall offend 
one of tliese little ones that beHeve 
in me, it is better for him that a 
millstone were hanged about his 
neck, and he were cast into the 
sea. 

43 And if thy hand 3 offend thee,

enter into life maimed, than hav- 
ing two hands to go into hell,

quenched;

6 But from the beginning of the 
creation God e made them male 
and female. 

7 For /this cause shall a man 
leave his father and mother, and 
cleave to his wife; 

8 And they twain shall be one 
flesh: so then they are no more 
twain, but one flesh. 

9 What therefore God hath joined 
together, let not man put asunder. 

10 And in the house his disciples 
asked him again of the same 
matter. 

11 And he saith unto them, 
Whosoever 9 shall put away his 
wife, and marry another, commit- 
teth adultery against her. 

12 And if a woman shall put 
away her husband, and be mar- 
ried to another, she committeth 
adultery. 

13 % And n they brought young 
children to him, that he should 
touch them: and his disciples re- 
buked those that brought them. 

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was 
much displeased, and said unto 
them, Suffer the little children to 
come unto me, and forbid them 
not: for * of such is the kingdom 
of God. 

15 Verily I say unto you, i Who- 
soever shall not receive the king- 
dom of God as a little child, he 
shall not enter therein, 

16 And * he took them up in his 
arms, put his hands upon them, 
and blessed them. 

17 % And l when he was gone 
forth into the way, there came one 
running, and kneeled to him, and 
asked him, Good Master, what 
shall I do that I may inherit eter- 
nal life? 

18 And Jesus said unto him, 
Why callest thou me good ? there 
is none good but one, that is, 
God. 

19 Thou knowest the command- 
ments, m Do not commit adultery, 
Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not 
bear false witness, Defraud not, 
Honour thy father and mother. 

20 And he answered and said 
unto him, Master, all these have I 
observed from my youth. 

21 Then Jesus, beholding him, 
loved him, and said unto him, 
One thing thou lackest: go thy 
way, sell whatsoever thou hast, 
and give to the poor, and thou 
shalt have treasure ° in heaven: 
and come, take up p the cross, and 
follow me. 



The danger of riches. 



MARK, X. 



Christ teacheth to be humble. 



22 And he was sad at that say- 
ing, and went away grieved : for 
he had great possessions. 

23 % And 2 Jesus looked round 
about, and saith unto his disciples, 
How hardly shall they that have 
riches enter into the kingdom of 
God! 

24 And the disciples were aston- 
ished at his words. But Jesus 
answereth again, and saith unto 
them, Children, how hard is it 
for them r that trust in riches to 
enter into the kingdom of God! 

25 It is easier for a camel to go 
through the eye of a needle, than 
for a rich man to enter into the 
kingdom of God. 

26 And they were astonished 
out of measure, saying among 
themselves, Who then can be 
saved? 

27 And Jesus, looking upon them, 
saith, "With men it is impossible, 
but not with God: for s with God 
all things are possible. 

28 ^ Then ' Peter began to say 
unto him, Lo, we have left all, and 
have followed thee. 

29 And Jesus answered and said, 
Verily I say unto you, Tbere is no 
man that hath left house, or breth- 
ren, or sisters, or father, or mother, 
or wife, or children, or lands, for 
my sake, and the Gospel's, 

30 But u he shall receive an hun- 
dred-fold now in this time, houses, 
and brethren, and sisters, and 
mothers, and children, and lands, 
with "persecutions; and in the 
world to come eternal life. 

31 But w many that are first shall 
oe last; and the last first. 

32 ^f And "they were in the way 
going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus 
went before them: and they were 
amazed; and as they followed, 
they were afraid. y And he took 
again the twelve, and began to 
tell them what things should hap- 
pen unto him, 

33 Saying, Behold, we go up to 
Jerusalem; and the Son of man 
shall be delivered unto the chief 
priests, and unto the scribes; and 
they shall condemn him to death, 
and shall deliver him to the Gen- 
tiles: 

34 And they shall mock him, and 
shall scourge him, and shall spit 
upon him, and shall kill him: and 
the third day he shall rise again.

sons of Zebedee, come unto him,

would ye that I should do for you? 

37 They said unto him, Grant 
unto us that we may sit, one on 
thy right hand, and the other on 
thy left hand, in thy glory. 

38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye 
know not what ye ask: can ye 
drink of the cup that I drink of? 
and be baptized with the baptism 
that I am baptized with? 

39 And they said unto him, We 
can. And Jesus said unto them, 
Ye a shah indeed drink of the cup 
that I drink of; and with the bap- 
tism that I am baptized withal 
shall ye be baptized: 

40 But to sit on my right hand 
and on my left hand is not mine 
to give; but it shall be given b to them 
for whom it is prepared. 

41 And c when the ten heard it, 
they began to be much displeased 
with James and John. 

42 But Jesus called them to him, 
and saith unto them, d Ye know 
that they which x are accounted to 
rule over the Gentiles exercise 
lordship over them; and then- 
great ones exercise authority upon 
them. 

43 But e so shall it not be among 
you: but whosoever will be great 
among you, shall be your minister; 

44 And whosoever of you will be 
the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 

45 For even /the Son of man 
came not to be ministered unto, 
but to minister, and to 9 give his 
life a ransom for many. 

46 % And A they came to Jericho: 
and as he went out of Jericho with 
his disciples and a great number 
of people, blind Bartimeus, the son 
of Timeus, sat by the highway- 
side begging. 

47 And when he heard that it 
was Jesus of Nazareth, he began 
to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou *son 
of David, have mercy on me. 

48 And many charged him that 
he should hold his peace: but he 
cried the more a great deal. 
Thou son of David, have mercy on 
me. 

49 And Jesus stood still, and 
commanded him to be called. 
And they call the blind man, say- 
ing unto him, Be of good comfort, 
rise; he calleth thee. 

50 And he, casting away his gar- 
ment, rose, and came to Jesus. 

51 And Jesus answered and said

unto him, What wilt thou that I 
should do unto thee? The blind 
man said unto him, Lord, that I 
might receive my sight. 

52 And Jesus said unto him, Go 
thy way; thy faith hath 2 made 
thee whole. And immediately-?' he 
received his sight, and followed 
Jesus in the way. 

CHAPTER XL 

1 Christ rideth into Jerusalem; 12 curseth 
a fruitless fig tree : 27 silenceth the priests 
who questioned his authority. 

AND" when they came nigh to 
Jerusalem, unto Bethphage 
and Bethany, at the mount 
of 6 Olives, he sendeth forth two of 
his disciples, 

2 And saith unto them, Go your 
way into the village over against 
you: and as soon as ye "be entered 
into it, ye shall find a colt tied, 
whereon never man sat; loose him, 
and bring him. 

3 And if any man say unto you, 
Why do ye this? say ye that c the 
Lord hath need of him; and 
straightway he will send him 
hither. 

4 And they went then way, and 
found the colt tied by the door 
without in a place where two ways 
met; and they loose him. 

5 And certain of them that stood 
there said unto them, What do ye, 
loosing the colt? 

6 And they said unto them even 
as Jesus had commanded: and they 
let them go. 

7 And they brought the colt to 
Jesus, and cast their garments on 
him; d and he sat upon him. 

8 And 6 many spread their gar- 
ments in the way; and others cut 
down branches off the trees, and 
strawed them in the way. 

9 And they that went before, and 
they that followed, cried, f saying, 
Hosanna! Blessed is he thatcometh 
in the name of the Lord! 

10 Blessed be the kingdom of our 
father David, that cometh in the 
name of the Lord! g Hosanna in 
the highest! 

11 And h Jesus entered into Jeru- 
salem, and into the temple: and 
when he had looked round about 
upon all things, and now the even- 
tide was come, he went out unto 
Bethany with the twelve. 

12 ^ And * on the morrow, when 
they were come from Bethany, he 
was hungry: 

13 And i seeing a fig tree afar off 
having leaves, he came, if haply

and when he came to it, he found 
nothing but leaves; for the time ot 
figs was not yet. 

14 And Jesus answered and said 
unto it, No man eat fruit of thee 
hereafter for ever. And his disci- 
ples heard it. 

15 ^ And k they come to Jerusa- 
lem: and Jesus went into the tem- 
ple, and began to cast out them 
that sold and bought in the tem- 
ple, and overthrew the tables of 
the money-changers, and the seats 
of them that sold doves; 

16 And would not suffer that any 
man should carry any vessel' 
through the temple. 

17 And he taught, saying unto 
them, Is it not written, l My house 
shall be called x of all nations the 
house of prayer? but "' ye have 
made it a den of thieves. 

18 And "the scribes and chief 
priests heard it, and sought how 
they might destroy him: for they 
feared him, because all ° the 
people was astonished at his doc- 
trine. 

19 And when even was come, he 
went out of the city. 

20 % And ^in the morning, as 
they passed by, they saw the fig 
tree dried up from the roots. 

21 And Peter calling to remem- 
brance saith unto him, Master, be- 
hold, the fig tree which thou 
cursedst is withered away. 

22 And Jesus answering saith 
unto them, 2 Have faith in God. 

23 For q verily I say unto you, 
That whosoever shall say unto this 
mountain. Be thou removed, and 
be thou cast into the sea; and shall 
not doubt in his heart, but shall 
believe that those things which he 
saith shall come to pass; he shall 
have whatsoever he saith, 

24 Therefore I say unto you, 
What r things soever ye desire, 
when ye pray, believe that ye re- 
ceive them, and ye shall have them. 

25 And when ye stand praying, 
forgive, * if ye have ought against 
any; that your Father also which 
is in heaven may forgive you your 



26 But 'if ye do not forgive, 
neither will your Father which is 
in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Jerusalem: and u as he was walking 
in the temple, there come to him

and the elders,

28 And say unto him, By what 
authority doest thou these things? 
and who gave thee this authority 
to do these things? 

29 And Jesus answered and said 
unto them, I will also ask of you 
one 3 question, and answer me, 
and I will tell you by what au- 
thority I do these things. 

30 The baptism of John, was it 
from heaven, or of men? answer

31 And they reasoned with them- 
selves, saying, If we shall say, From 
heaven; he will say, Why then did 
ye not believe him? 

32 But if we shall say, Of men; 
they feared the people: for * all men 
counted John, that he was a pro- 
phet indeed. 

33 And they answered and said 
unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And 
Jesus answering saith unto them, 
Neither 1 " do I tell you by what

CHAPTER XII. 

1 The parable of the vineyard. 13 Touch- 
ing the paying of tribute. 18 The Sad- 
ducees confuted. 35 A difficulty proposed 
to the scribes, etc. 

AND he began to speak unto 
them by parables. A certain 
man planted ° a vineyard, and set 
an hedge about it, and digged a 
place for the winefat, and built a 
tower, and let it out to husband- 
men, and went into a far country. 

2 And at the season he sent to 
the husbandmen a servant, that 
he might receive from the husband- 
men of the fruit of the vineyard. 

3 And they caught him, and bea,t 
him. and sent him away empty. 

4 And again he sent unto them 
another servant; and at him they 
cast stones, and wounded him in 
the head, and sent Mm away shame- 
fully handled. 

5 And again he sent another; 
and him they killed, and many 
others; beating some, and h killing 
some. 

6 Having yet therefore one son, 
his c well-beloved, he sent him also 
last unto them, saying, They will 
reverence my son. 

7 But those husbandmen said 
among themselves, This is d the 
heir; come, let us kill him, and the 
inheritance shall be ours. 

8 And they took him, and 'killed 
him, and cast him out of the vine- 
yard.

of the vineyard do? He will come

10 And have ye not read this 
scripture; The 9 stone which the 
builders rejected is become the 
head of the corner: 

11 This was the Lord's doing, 
and ft it is marvellous in our eyes? 

12 And * they sought to lay hold 
on him, but feared the people; for 
they knew that he had spoken the 
parable against them: and they 
left him, and went their way. 

13 ^ And J they send unto him 
certain of the Pharisees and of the 
Herodians, to catch him in his 
words. 

14 And when they were come, 
they say unto him, Master, we 
know that thou art true, and 
carest for no man; for thou regard- 
est not the person of men, but 
teachest the way of God in truth: 
Is it lawful to give tribute to 
Cesar, or not? 

] 5 Shall we give, or shall we not 
give? But he, knowing their hypo- 
crisy, said unto them, Why tempt 
ye me? bring me l a penny, that I 
may see it. 

16 And they brought #. And he 
saith unto them, Whose is this 
image and superscription? And 
they said unto him, Cesar's. 

17 And Jesus answering said 
unto them, Bender to Cesar the 
things that are Cesar's, and to God 
the things that are God's. And 
they marvelled at him. 

18 % Then k come unto him the 
Sadducees, which * say there is no 
resurrection; and they asked him, 
saying, 

19 Master, m Moses wrote unto 
us, If a man's brother die, and 
leave his wife behind him, and leave 
no children, that his brother 
should take his wife, and raise up 
seed unto his brother. 

20 Now there were seven breth- 
ren: and the first took a wife, and 
dying left no seed. 

21 And the second took her, and 
died, neither left he any seed: and 
the third likewise. 

22 And the seven had her, and 
left no seed: last of all the woman 
died also. 

23 In the resurrection therefore, 
when they shall rise, whose wife 
shall she be of them? for the seven 
had her to wife. 

24 And Jesus answering said 
unto them, Do ye not therefore 
err, because ye know not J 'the

The great commandment. 



MABK,*Xm. 



Christ reproveth the scrilt 



Scriptures, neither ° the power of 
God? 

25 For when they shall rise from 
the dead, they neither marry, nor 
are given in marriage; hut ■''are 
as the angels which are in hea- 
ven. 

26 And as touching the dead, 
that they rise; have ye not read in 
the book of Moses, how in the 
hush God spake unto him, saying, 
I s am the God of Abraham, and 
the God of Isaac, and the God of 
Jacob? 

27 He is not the God of the dead, 
but the God of the living: ye there- 
fore do greatly err" 

28 ^f And ''one of the scribes 
came, and having heard them rea- 
soning together, and perceiving 
that he had answered them well, 
asked him, Which is the hrst com- 
mandment of all? 

29 And Jesus answered him, The 
first of all the commandments 
is, s Hear, Israel; The Lord our 
God is one Lord: 

30 And thou shalt love the 
Lord thy God with all thy heart, 
and with all thy soul, and with all 
thy mind, and with all thy 
strength. This is the first com- 
mandment. 

31 And the second is like, namely 
this, Thou 'shalt love thy neigh- 
bour as thyself. There is none 
other commandment greater than 
these. 

32 And the scribe said unto him, 
"Well, Master, thou hast said the 
truth: for there is one God; M and 
there is none other but he: 

33 And to love him with all the 
heart, and with all the under- 
standing, and with all the soul, 
and with all the strength, and to 
love his neighbour as himself, v is 
more than all whole burnt offer- 
ings and sacrifices. 

34 And when Jesus saw that he 
answered discreetly, he said unto 
him, Thou art not far from the 
kingdom of God. w And no man 
after that durst ask him any ques- 
tion. 

35 % And x Jesus answered and 
said, while he taught in the tem- 
ple, How say the scribes that Christ 
is the son of David? 

36 For David himself said y by 
the Holy Ghost, z The Lord said 
to my Lord, Sit thou on my right

ury: and many that were rich cast 
in much.

tain poor widow, and she threw 
in two 3 mites, which make a

1 Christ foretelleth the destruction of the 
temple: 3 lie showeth what signs should 
go before, 24 and what should happen 
at the time of his coming: 32 no man 
knoweth the day or hour; therefore we 
must watch and pray, lest found unpre- 
pared. 

AND a as he went out of the tem-

unto him, Master, see what man- 
ner of stones and what buildings 
are here!

him, Seest thou these great build-

vately,

7 And when ye shall hear of

8 For nation shall rise against 
nation, and kingdom against king-

shall be famines and troubles.

1 sorrows. 

9 ^ But /take heed to yourselves: 
for they shall deliver you up to

ye shall be beaten: and ye shall

Ghost. 

12 Now i the brother shall betray 
the brother to death, and the

standing where it ought not, (let 
him that readeth understand,) 
then let r " them that be in Judea 
flee to the mountains :

house-top not go down into the 
house, neither enter therein, to take 
any thing out of his house:

20 And except that the Lord had 
shortened those days, no flesh 
should be saved: but for the elect's 
sake, whom he hath chosen, he 
hath shortened the days. 

21 And q then, if any man shall 
say to you, Lo, here is Christ; 
or, lo, he is there; believe him 
not: 

22 For false Christs and false pro- 
phets shall rise, and shall show 
signs and wonders, to seduce, r if 
it were possible, even the elect. 

23 But s take ye heed: behold, I 
have foretold you all things. 

24 ^f But *in those days, after that 
tribulation, the sun shall be dark- 
ened, and the moon shall not give 
her fight, 

25 And the stars of heaven shall 
fall, and the powers that are in 
heaven shall be shaken. 

26 And u then shall they see the 
Son of man coming in the clouds 
with great power and glory. 

27 And then shall he send his 
angels, and shall gather together 
his elect from the four winds, 
from the uttermost part of the 
earth to the uttermost part of 
heaven. 

28 Now learn a parable of the 
fig tree; When her branch is yet j 
tender, and putteth forth leaves, i 
ye know- that summer is near: 

29 So ye, in like manner, when | 
ye shall see these things come to \ 
pass, know that it is nigh, even at j 
the doors. 

30 Verily I say unto you, that 
this generation shall not pass, till 
all these things be done. 

31 Heaven and earth shall pass 
away; but my "words shall not 
pass away. 

32 If But of that day and that 
hour knoweth no man, no, not 
the angels which are in heaven, 
neither the Son, but the Father. 

33 Take w ye heed, watch and 
pray: for ye know not when the 
time is. 

34 For x the Son of man is as a man 
taking a far journey, who left his 
house, and gave authority to his 
servants, and to every man his 
work, and commanded the porter 
to watch. 

35 Watch y je therefore; for ye 
know not when the master of the 
house cometh, at even, or at mid- 
night, or at the cock-crowing, or 
in the morning; 

36 Lest, coming suddenly, he find 
you sleeping. 



A conspiracy against Christ. 



MARK. XIY. Institution of the Lord's Supper. 



37 And what I say unto you I 
say unto all, Watch. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

1 A conspiracy against Christ: 3 a woman 
poureth ointment on his head: 10 Judas 
covenanteth to betray him: 12 he eateth 
the passover: 22 he instituteth his 
supper: 66 Peter thrice denieth him, etc. 

AFTER a two days was the feast of 
the passover, and of unleaven- 
ed bread: and the chief priests 
and the scribes sought how they 
might take him by craft, and put 
him to death. 

2 But they said, Not on the feast 
day, lest there be an uproar of the 
people. 

3 ^ And b being in Bethany, in 
the house of Simon the leper, as 
he sat at meat, there came a 
woman having an alabaster box of 
ointment of l spikenard very pre- 
cious; and she brake the box, and 
poured it on his head. 

4 And there were some that had 
indignation within themselves, 
and said, Why was this waste of 
the ointment made? 

5 For it might have been sold for 
more than three hundred c pence, 
and have been given to the poor. 
And they murmured against 
her. 

6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; 
why trouble ye her? she hath 
wrought a good work on me. 

7 For <*ye have the poor with you 
always, and whensoever ye will ye 
may do them good: but me ye 
have not always. 

8 She hath done what she could: 
she is come aforehand to .anoint 
my body to the burying. 

9 Verily I say unto you, Where- 
soever this gospel shall be preached 
throughout the whole world, this 
also that she hath done shall be 
spoken of for a memorial of her. 

10 fl And "Judas Iscariot, one of 
the twelve, went unto the chief 
priests, to betray him unto them. 

11 And when they heard it, they 
were glad, and promised to give 
him / money. And he sought 
how he might conveniently betray 
him. 

12 If And » the first day of un- 
leavened bread, when they 2 killed 
the passover, his disciples said 
unto him, Where wilt thou that 
we go and prepare that thou 
mayest eat the passover? 

13 And he sendeth forth two of 
his disciples, and saith unto them, 
Go ye into the city, and there

shall meet you a man bearing a 
pitcher of water: follow him. 

14 And wheresoever he shall go 
in, say ye to the goodman of the 
house, The Master saith, Where is 
the guest-chamber, where I shall 
eat A the passover with my dis- 
ciples? 

15 And he will show you a large 
upper room furnished and prepar- 
ed: there make ready for us. 

16 And his disciples went forth, 
and came into the city, and found 
as he had said unto them: and 
they made ready the passover. 

17 And* in the evening he cometh 
with the twelve. , v 

18 And as they sat and did eat, 
Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, 
One of you which eateth with me 
shall betray me. 

19 And they began to be sorrow- 
ful, and to say unto him one by 
one, 7s it I? and another said, Is it 
I? 

20 And he answered and said 
unto them, It is one of the twelve, 
that dippeth with me in the dish. 

21 The •? Son of man indeed goeth, 
as it is written of him: but woe to 
that man by whom the Son of 
man is betrayed! good were it for 
that man if he had never been' 
born. 

22 ^ And * as they did eat, Jesus 
took bread, and blessed, and brake 
it, and gave to them, and said, 
Take, eat: this is my body. 

23 And he took the cup, and when 
he had given thanks, he gave it 
to them: and they all drank of 
it. 

24 And he said unto them, This 
is l my blood of the new testament, 
which is shed for many. 

25 Verily I say unto you, I will 
drink no more of the fruit of the 
vine, until that day that I drink it 
new in the kingdom of God. 

26 % And m when they had sung 
an 3 hymn, they went out into the 
mount of Olives. 

27 And " Jesus saith unto them, 
All ye shall be offended because of 
me this night: for it is written, ° I 
will smite the Shepherd, and the 
sheep shall be scattered. 

28 But p after that I am risen, I 
will go before you into Galilee. 

29 But q Peter said unto him,

will not L-

cock crow twice, thou shalt deny 
me thrice. 

31 But he spake the more vehe- 
mently, If I should die with thee, 
I will not deny thee in any wise. 
Likewise also said they alL . 

32 % And r they came to a place 
which was named Gethsemane: 
and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye 
here, while s I shall pray. 

33 And he taketh with him Peter 
and James and John, and began 
to be sore amazed, and to be very 
heavy; 

34 And saith unto them, 'My 
soul is exceeding sorrowful unto 
death : tarry ye here, and watch. 

35 And he went forward a little, 
and fell on the ground, and prayed 
that, if it were possible, the hour 
might pass from him. 

36 And he said, u Abba, Father, 
all v things are possible unto thee; 
take away this cup from me: w nev- 
ertheless not what I will, but what 
thou wilt. 

37 And he cometh, and find- 
eth them sleeping, and saith 
unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? 
couldest not thou watch one 
hour? 

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye 
enter into temptation. x The 
spirit truly is ready, but the flesh 
is weak. 

39 And again he went away, and 
prayed, and spake the same 
words. 

40 And when he returned, he 
found them asleep again, (for their 
eyes were heavy,) neither wist they 
what to answer him. 

41 And he cometh the third 
time, and saith unto them, Sleep 
on now, and take your rest : it is 
enough, y the hour is come; behold, 
the Son of man is betrayed into 
the hands of sinners. 

42 Kise z up, let us go; lo, he that 
betrayeth me is at hand. 

43 \ And "immediately, while he 
yet spake, cometh Judas, one of 
the twelve, and with him a great 
multitude with swords and staves, 
from the chief priests and the 
scribes and the elders. 

44 And he that betrayed him 
had given them a token, saying, 
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same 
is he; take him, and lead him away 



45 And as soon as he was come, 
he goeth straightway to him, and 

saith, i Master, master; and 6 kissed 
him.

46 And they laid their hands on 
him, and took him. 

47 And one of them that stood 
by drew a sword, and smote a 
servant of the high priest, and cut 
off his ear. 

48 And c Jesus answered and said 
unto them, Are ye come out, as 
against a thief,' with swords and 
with staves to take me? 

49 I was daily with you in the 
temple teaching, and ye took me 
not: but the d Scriptures must be 
fulfilled. 

50 And e they all forsook him, 
and fled. 

51 And there followed him a cer- 
tain young man, having a linen 
cloth cast about his naked body; 
and the young men laid hold on 
him.: 

52 And he left the linen cloth, 
and fled from them naked. 

53 % And / they led Jesus away 
to the high priest: and with 
him were assembled all the chief 
priests and the elders and the 
scribes. 

54 And Peter followed him afar 
off, even into the palace of the 
high priest : and he sat with the 
servants, and warmed himself at 
the fire. 

55 And g the chief priests and all 
the council sought for witness 
against Jesus to put him to death; 
and h found none: 

56 For many bare * false witness 
against him, but their witness 
agreed not together. 

57 And there arose certain, and 
bare false witness against him, 
saying, 

58 We heard him say, i I will de- 
stroy this temple that is made 
with hands, and within three days 
I will build another made without 
hands. 

59 But neither so did their wit- 
ness agree together. 

60 And * the high priest stood up 
in the midst, and asked Jesus, 
saying, Answerest thou nothing? 
what is it which these witness 
against thee? 

61 But l he -held his peace, and 
answered nothing. m Again the 
high priest asked him, and said 
unto him, Art thou the Christ, the 
Son of the Blessed? 

62 And Jesus said, I am: " and 
ye shall see the Son of man sitting 
on the right hand of power, and 
coming in the clouds of heaven. 

63 Then the high priest rent his

clothes, and saith, What need we 
any further witnesses? 

64 Ye have heard the ° blas- 
phemy: what think ye? And they 
all condemned him to be guilty of 
death. 

65 And some began to p spit on 
him, and to cover his face, and to 
buffet him, and to say unto him 
Prophesy: and the servants did 
strike him with the palms of their 
hands. 

66 % And q as Peter was beneath 
in the palace, there cometh one of 
the maids of the high priest: 

67 And when she saw Peter warm- 
ing himself, she looked upon him, 
and said, And thou also wast with 
Jesus of Nazareth. 

68 But he denied, saying, I know 
not, neither understand I what 
thou sayest. And he went out 
into the porch; and the cock 
crew. 

69 And r a maid saw Mm again, 
and began to say to them that 
stood by, This is erne of them. 

70 And he denied it again. s And 
a little after, they that stood by 
said again to Peter, Surely thou 
art one of them: 'for thou art a 
Galilean, and thy speech agreeth 
thereto. 

71 But '"he began to curse and 
to swear, saying, I know not this 
man of whom ye speak. 

72 And the second time the cock 
crew. And Peter called to mind 
the word that Jesus said unto him, 
Before the cock crow twice, thou 
shalt deny me thrice. And 5 when 
he thought thereon, he wept. 

CHAPTER XV. 

1 Jesus is brought bound and accused 
before Pilate: 6 Pilate, prevailed on by 
the people, giveth up Jesus to be cruci- 
fied: 17 he, is crowned ivith thorns, 27 
crucified between two thieves: 43 he is 
honourably buried. 

AND "straightway in the morn- 
ing the chief priests held a 
consultation with the elders and 
scribes and the whole council, and 
bound Jesus, and carried him away, 
and delivered him to Pilate. 

2 And 6 Pilate asked him, Art 
thou the King of the Jews? And 
he answering said unto him, c Thou 
sayest it. 

3 And the chief priests accused 
him of many things: but d he an- 
swered nothing. 

4 And " Pilate asked him again, 
saying, Answerest thou nothing? 
behold how many things they 
witness against thee.

5 But /Jesus yet answered no- 
thing; so that Pilate marvelled. 

6 % Now 9 at that feast he released 
unto them one prisoner, whomso- 
ever they desired. 

7 And there was one named 
Barabbas, which lay bound with 
them that had made insurrection 
vrith him, who had committed 
murder in the insurrection. 

8 And the multitude, crying 
aloud, began to desire him to do as 
he had ever done unto them. 

9 But Pilate answered them, 
saying, Will ye that I release unto 
you the King of the Jews? 

10 For he knew that the chief 
priests had delivered him * for 
envy. 

11 But * the chief priests moved 
the people, that he should rather 
release Barabbas unto them. 

12 And Pilate answered and said 
again unto them, What will ye 
then that I shall do unto him whom 
ye call i the King of the Jews? 

13 And they cried out again, 
Crucify him. 

14 Then Pilate said unto them, 
Why, what evil hath he done? 
And they cried out the more ex- 
ceedingly, Crucify him. 

15 And so Pilate, k willing to con- 
tent the people, released Barabbas 
unto them, and delivered Jesus, 
when he had scourged him, to be 
crucified. 

16 ^f And the soldiers led him 
awayintothe hall called Prastorium; 
and they call together the whole 
band. 

17 And they clothed him with 
purple, and platted a crown of 
thorns, and put it about his head, 

18 And began to salute him, 
Hail, King of the Jews! 

19 And they smote him on the 
head with a reed, and did spit 
upon him, and bowing their knees 
worshipped him. 

20 And when they had mocked 
him, they took off the purple from 
him, and put his own clothes on 
him, and led him out to crucify 
him.

27 And with him they crucify

hand, and the other on his left. 

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, 
which saith, s And he was num- 
bered with the transgressors. 

29 «[ And ' they that passed by

unto Jerusalem.

was come, because it was the pre- 
paration, that is, the day before 
the sabbath, 

; 43 Joseph of Arimathea, an hon- 
I ourable counsellor, which A also 
j waited for the kingdom of God, 
1 came, and went in boldly unto 
- Pilate, and craved the body of 
Jesus. 

44 And Pilate marvelled if he 
were already dead: and, calling 
unto him the centurion, he asked 
him whether he had been any 
while dead. 

45 And when he knew it of the 
centurion, he gave the body to 
Joseph. 

46 And * he bought fine linen, 
and took him down, and wrapped 
him in the linen, and laid him in 
a sepulchre which was hewn out 
of a rock, and rolled a stone unto 
the door of the sepulchre. 

47 And Mary Magdalene and 
Mary the mother of Joses beheld 
where he was laid. 

CHAPTER XYL 

1 An angel declareth tlie resurrection of 
Christ to three women; 9 he\ appeareth 
to Mary Magdalene, 12 to two of his 
disciples going into the country, 14 and 
to the eleven, whom he commissioned to 
preach the Gospel to all the world: 19 
his ascension into heaven; the Gospel is 
preached. 

AKD a when the sabbath was 
past, Mary Magdalene, and 
Mary the mother of James, and 
Salome, b had bought sweet spices, 
that they might come and anoint 
him. 

2 And c very early in the morning, 
the first day of the week, they 
came unto the sepulchre at the 
rising of the sun. 

3 And they said among them- 
selves, Who shall roll us away the 
stone from the door of the sepul- 
chre? 

4 And when they looked, they 
saw that the stone was rolled away: 
for it was very great. 

5 And d entering into the sepul- 
chre, they saw a young man 
sitting on the right side, clothed 
in a long white garment; and they 
were affrighted. 

6 And 6 he saith unto them, Be 



The resurrection of Christ.

not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of 
Nazareth, which was crucified: he 
is /risen; he is not here: behold 
the place where they laid him. 

7 But go your way, tell his dis- 
ciples and Peter that he goeth 
before you into Galilee: there shall 
ye see him, ° as he said unto you. 

8 And they went out quickly, 
and fled from the sepulchre; for 
they trembled and were amazed: 
neither A said they any thing to 
any man; for they were afraid. 

9 % Now when Jesus was risen 
early the first day of the week, * he 
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, 
out i of whom he had cast seven 
devils. 

10 And she went and told them 
that had been with him, as they 
mourned and wept. 

11 And *they, when they had 
heard that he was alive, and 
had been seen of her, believed not. 

12 % After that he appeared in 
another form unto two of them, as 
they walked, and went into the 
country. 

13 And they went and told it 
unto the residue: neither believed 
they them.

6 And they were both ■>' righteous 
before God, walking in all the 
commandments and ordinances 
of the Lord blameless. 

7 And they had no child, because 
that Elisabeth was barren; and 
they both were now well stricken 
in years. 

8 And it came to pass, that, while 
he executed the priest's office before 
God k in the order of his course, 

9 According to the custom of the 
priest's office, his lot was L to burn 
incense when he went into the 
temple of the Lord. 

10 And m the whole multitude of 
the people were praying without 
at the time of incense. 

11 And there appeared unto him 
an angel of the Lord standing on 
the right side of the altar of in- 
cense 

12 And when Zacharias saw him, 
he "was troubled, and fear fell 
upon him.

and of Christ foretold. 



13 But the angel said unto him, 
Fear not, Zacharias: for ° thy 
prayer is heard; and thy wife 
Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, 
and thou shalt call his name 
John. 

14 And thou shalt have joy and 
gladness; and many shall rejoice 
at his birth. 

15 For he shall be p great in the 
sight of the Lord, and q shall drink 
neither wine nor strong drink; 
and he shall be filled with the 
Holy Ghost, r even from his mo- 
thers womb. 

16 And s many of the children of 
Israel shall he turn to the Lord 
their God. 

17 And { he shall go before him 
in the spirit and power of Elias, to 
turn the hearts of the fathers to 
the children, and the disobedient 
1 to the wisdom of the just; to 
make ready a people prepared for 
the u Lord. 

18 And Zacharias said unto the 
angel, " Whereby shall I know 
this? for I am an old man, and my 
wife well stricken in years. 

19 And the angel answering said 
unto him, I am w Gabriel, that 
stand in the presence of God; and 
am sent to speak unto thee, and 
to show thee these glad tidings. 

20 And, behold, x thou shalt be 
dumb, and not able to speak, un- 
til the day that these things shall 
be performed, because thou be- 
lievest not my words, which shall 
be fulfilled in their season. 

21 And the people y waited for 
Zacharias, and marvelled that he 
tarried so long in the temple. 

22 And when he came out, he 
could not speak unto them: and 
they perceived that he had seen a 
vision in the temple; for he beck- 
oned unto them, and remained 



23 And it came to pass, that, as 
soon as the * days of his ministra- 
tion were accomplished, he de- 
parted to his own house. 

24 And after those days his wife 
Elisabeth conceived, and hid her- 
self five months, saying, 

25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with 
me in the days wherein he looked 
on me, to a take away my reproach 
among men.

man whose name was Joseph, of 
the house of David; and the vir- 
gin's name was Mary. 

28 And the angel came in unto 
her, and said, Hail! thou that art 
2 highly favoured, the Lord is with 
thee: blessed art thou among 
women ! 

29 And when she saw Mm, she 
was troubled at his saying, and 
cast in her mind what manner of 
salutation this should be. 

30 And the angel said unto her, 
Fear not, Mary; for thou hast 
found favour with God. 

31 And, c behold, thou shalt con- 
ceive in thy womb, and bring forth 
a son, and shalt call his name 
JESUS. 

32 He shall be d great, and shall 
be called the Son of the Highest: 
and e the Lord God shall give 
unto him the throne of his father 
David: 

33 And /he shall reign over the 
house of Jacob for ever; and of 
bis kingdom there shall be no 
end. 

34 Then said Mary unto the 
angel, How shall this be, seeing I 
know not a man? 

35 And the angel answered and 
said unto her, The Holy Ghost 
shall come upon thee, and the 
power of the Highest shall over- 
shadow thee: therefore also that 
holy thing which shall be born of 
thee shall be called the ' Son of 
God. 

36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisa- 
beth, she hath also conceived a 
son in her old age: and this is the 
sixth month with her, who was 
called barren. 

37 For h with God nothing shall 
be impossible. 

38 And Mary said, Behold the 
handmaid of the Lord; be it unto 
me according to thy word. And 
the angel departed from her. 

39 ^ And Mary arose in those days, 
and went into the hill country 
with haste, • into a city of Juda; 

40 And entered into the house of 
Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 

41 And it came to pass, that, 
when Elisabeth heard the saluta- 
tion of Mary, the babe leaped in 
her womb; and Elisabeth was 
filled i with the Holy Ghost; 

42 And she spake out with a loud 
voice, and said, k Blessed art thou 
among women, and blessed is the 
fruit of thy womb. 

43 And whence is this to me, that

the mother of my Lord should 
come to me? 

44. For, lo, as soon as the voice of 
thy salutation sounded in mine 
ears, the bahe leaped in my womb 
for joy. 

45 And blessed is she 3 that be- 
lieved: for there shall be a per- 
formance of those things which 
were told her from the Lord. 

46 ^ And Mary said, ' My soul 
doth magnify the Lord, 

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced 
in God my Saviour. 

48 For '" he hath regarded the 
low estate of his handmaiden: for, 
behold, from henceforth n all gene- 
rations shall call me blessed. 

49 For he that is mighty hath 
done to me great things; and holy 
is his name. 

50 And ° his mercy is on them 
that fear him from generation to 
generation. 

51 He v hath showed strength 
with his arm : 2 he hath scattered 
the proud in the imagination of 
their hearts. 

52 He r hath put down the mighty 
from their seats, and exalted them 
of low degree. 

53 He * hath filled the hungry 
with good things; and the rich he 
hath sent empty away. 

54 He hath holpen his servant 
Israel, * in remembrance of Ms 
mercy, 

55 As u he spake to our fathers, 
to Abraham, and to his seed for 
ever. 

56 And Maiy abode with her 
about three months, and returned 
to her own house. 

57 f Now Elisabeth's full time 
came that she should be deliv- 
ered; and she brought forth a 
son. 

58 And her neighbours and her 
cousins heard how the Lord had 
showed great mercy upon her; and 
they rejoiced with her. 

59 And it came to pass, that v on 
the eighth day they came to cir- 
cumcise the child; and they called 
him Zacharias, after the name of 
his father. 

60 And his mother answered and 
said, Not so; but he shall be called 
John. 

61 And they said unto her, There 
is none of thy kindred that is called 
by this name. 

62 And they made signs to his 
father, how he would have him 
called.

was ^ filled with the Holy Ghost, 
and prophesied, saying,

Israel; for he hath visited and re- 
deemed his people, 

69 And hath raised up an horn of

servant David;

since the world began; 

71 That we should be saved from

of all that hate us; 

72 To "perform the mercy pro- 
mised to our fathers, and to remem- 
bcr his holy covenant, 

73 The h oath which he sware to 
our father Abraham, 

74 That he would grant unto us, 
that we, being delivered out of the j 
hand of our enemies, might c serve 
him without fear, 

75 In d holiness and righteous- 
ness before him, all the days of 
our life.

face of the Lord to prepare his 
ways:

showing unto Israel.

CHAPTER H. 

1 Augustus taxeth the Roman empire. 6 
Christ's nativity: 21 his circumcision: 
46 he qucstioneth the doctors, etc. 

AND it came to pass in those 
days, that there went out a 
decree from Cesar Augustus, that 
all the world should be x taxed. 

2 (And this taxing was first made 
when Cyrenius was governor of 
Syria.) 

3 And all went to be taxed, 
every one into his own city. 

4 And Joseph also went up from 
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, 
into Judea, unto ° the city of Da- 
vid, which is called Bethlehem, 
(because h he was of the house and 
lineage of David,) 

5 To be taxed with Mary his 
espoused wife, being great with 
child. 

6 And so it was, that, while they 
were there, the days were accom- 
plished that she should be delivered. 

7 And c she brought forth her 
first-bom son, and wrapped him in 
swaddling clothes, and laid him in 
a d manger; because there was no 
room for them in the inn. 

8 % And there were in the same 
country shepherds abiding in the 
field, keeping 2 watch over their 
flock by night. 

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord 
came upon them, and the glory of 
the Lord shone round about them; 
and they were sore afraid. 

10 And the angel said unto them, 
Fear not; for, behold, I bring you 
good tidings of great joy, 6 which 
shall be to all people. 

11 For / unto you is born this day, 
in the city of David, a Saviour, 
which is Christ 9 the Lord. 

12 And this shall be a sign unto 
you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped 
in swaddling clothes, lying in a 
manger. 

13 And h suddenly there was with 
the angel a multitude of the 
heavenly host praising God, and 
saying, 

14 Glory to God in the highest, 
and on earth * peace, i good , will 
toward men. 

15 And it came to pass, as the 
angels were gone away from them 
into heaven, 3 the shepherds said 
one to another, Let us now go even 
unto Bethlehem, and see this 
thing which is come to'pass, which 
the Lord hath made known unto 
ns.

and found Mary and Joseph, and 
the babe lying in a manger. 

17 And when they had seen it, 
they made known abroad the say- 
ing which was told them concern 
ing this child. 

18 And all they that heard it 
wondered at those things which 
were told them by the shep- 
herds. 

19 But Mary kept all these 
things, and pondered them in her 
heart. 

20 And the shepherds returned, 
glorifying and praising God for ail 
the things that they had heard 
and seen, as it was told unto 
them. 

2\\ And *when eight days were 
accomplished for the circum- 
cising of the child, his name was 
called l JESUS, which was so 
named of the angel before he was 
conceived in the womb. 

22 And when * the days of her 
purification according to the law 
of Moses were accomplished, they 
brought him to Jerusalem, to pre- 
sent him to the Lord; 

23 (As it is written in the law of 
the Lord, Every n male that open- 
eth the womb shall be called holy 
to the Lord;) 

24 And to offer a sacrifice accord- 
ing to that which is said in the 
law of the Lord, A pair of turtle 
doves, or two young pigeons. 

25 And, behold, there was a man 
in Jerusalem, whose name was 
Simeon; and the same man was 
just and devout, ° waiting for the 
consolation of Israel: and the Holy 
Ghost was upon him. 

26 And it was revealed unto him 
by the Holy Ghost, that he should 
not p see death, before he had seen 
the Lord's Christ. 

27 And he came by q the Spirit 
into the temple: and when the 
parents brought in the child Jesus, 
to do for biyn after the custom of 
the law, 

28 Then took he him up in his 
arms, and blessed God, and said, 

29 Lord, r now lettest thou thy 
servant depart in peace, according 
to thy word: 

30 For mine eyes s have seen thy 
salvation, 

31 Which thou hast prepared be- 
fore the face of all people; 

32 A * light to lighten the Gen- 
tiles, and the glory of thy people 
Israel. 

33 And Joseph and his mother

marvelled at those things which 
were spoken of him. 

34 And Simeon blessed them, and 
said unto Mary his mother, Be- 
hold, this child is set for the u fall 
and rising again of many in 
Israel: and for v a sign which shall 
be spoken against; 

35 (Yea, w a sword shall pierce 
through thy own soul also,) that 
the x thoughts of many hearts may 
be revealed. 

36 And there was one Anna, y a 
prophetess, the daughter of 
Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she 
was of a great age, and had lived 
with an husband seven years from 
her virginity; 

37 And she was a widow of about 
fourscore and four years, which 
departed not from the temple, but 
served God with fastings and 
prayers z night and day. 

38 And she coming in that in- 
stant gave thanks likewise unto 
the Lord, and spake of him to all 
them that a looked for redemption 
in 4 Jerusalem. 

39 And when they had per- 
formed all things according to the 
law of the Lord, they returned 
into Galilee, to their own city 
Nazareth. 

40 And the child grew, and waxed 
strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; 
and the grace of God was upon 
him. 

41 % Now his parents went to 
Jerusalem every 6 year at the feast 
of the passover. 

42 And when he was twelve 
years old, they went up to Jeru- 
salem after the custom of the 
feast. 

43 And when they had fulfilled 
the days, as they returned, the 
child Jesus tarried behind in Jeru- 
salem; and Joseph and his mother 
knew not of it. 

44 But they, supposing him to 
have been in the company, went 
a day's journey; and they sought 
him among tMr kinsiolk and 
acquaintance. 

45 And when they found him 
not, they turned back again to 
Jerusalem, seeking him. 

46 And it came to pass, that after 
three days they found him in the 
temple, sitting in the midst of the 
doctors, c both hearing them, and 
asking them questions. 

47 And d all that heard him were 
astonished at his understanding 
and answers.

CHAPTER ni. 
1 John's preaching and baptism: 15 his 
testimony of Christ. 21 Christ is bap- 
tized: 23 his genealogy. 

NOW in the fifteenth year of the 
reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pon- 
tius Pilate being governor of Judea, 
and Herod being tetrarch of Gali- 
lee, and his brother Philip tetrarch 
of Iturea and of the region of Tra- 
chonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch 
of Abilene, 

2 Annas °and Caiaphas being 
the high priests, the word of God 
came unto John the son of Zacha- 
rias in the wilderness. 

3 And 6 he came into all the 
country about Jordan, preaching 
the baptism of repentance c for the 
remission of sins; 

4 As it is written in the book of 
the words of Esaias the prophet, 
saying, d The voice of one crying 
in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord, make his paths 
straight. 

1 5 Every valley shall be filled, and 
every mountain and hill shall be 
brought low; and the crooked 
shall be made straight, and the 
rough ways shall be made smooth; 

6 And e all flesh shall see the sal- 
vation of God. 

7 Then said he to the multitude 
that came forth to be baptized of 
him,/0 generation of vipers", who 
hath warned you to flee from the 
wrath to come? 

8 Bring 9 forth therefore fruits 
1 worthy of repentance, and begin 
not to say within yourselves, We 
have Abraham to our father: for I 
say unto you, That God is able of 
these stones to raise up children 
unto Abraham. 

9 And now also the ax is laid

unto the root of the trees: A every 
tree therefore which bringeth not 
forth good fruit is hewn down, and 
cast-into the lire. 

10 And the people asked him, 
saying, What * shall we do then? 

11 He answereth and saith unto 
them, He i that hath two coats, let 
him impart to him that hath none; 
and he that hath meat, let him do 
likewise. 

12 Then * came also publicans to 
be baptized, and said unto him, 
Master, what shall we do? 

13 And he said unto them, l Ex- 
act no more than that which is 
appointed you. 

14 And the soldiers likewise de- 
manded of him, saying, And what 
shall we do? And he said unto 
them, 2 Do violence to no man, 
neither m accuse any falsely; and 
be content with your 3 wages. 

15 f And as the people were 4 in 
expectation, and all men 5 mused 
in their hearts of John, whether 
he were the Christ, or not; 

16 John answered, saying unto 
them all, I "indeed baptize you 
with water; but one mightier than 
I cometh, the latchet of whose 
shoes I am not worthy to unloose: 
he shall baptize you with ° the 
Holy Ghost and with fire: 

17 Whose fan is in his hand, and 
he will throughly purge his floor, 
and v will gather the wheat into 
his garner; but the chaff he will 
burn with fire unquenchable. 

18 And many other things in his 
exhortation preached he unto the 
people. 

19 f But q Herod the tetrarch, 
being reproved by him for Herodias 
his brother Philip's wife, and for 
all the evils which Herod had 
done, 

20 Added yet this above all, that 
he shut up John in prison. 

21 f Now when all the people 
were baptized, r it came to pass, 
that Jesus also being baptized, and 
praying, the heaven was opened, 

22 And the Holy Ghost descend- 
ed in a bodily shape like a dove 
upon him, and a voice came s from 
heaven, which said, Thou art my 
beloved Son; in thee I am well 
pleased. 

23 % And Jesus himself began to 
be ' about thirty years of age, being 
(as was supposed) the "son of 
Joseph, which was the 6 son of 
Helif 

24 Which was the son of Matthat,

1 Christ's temptation and fasting: 13 he, 
overcoming the devil, 14 beginneth to 
preach: 16 the people at Nazareth ad- 
mire him; 33 he cureth one possessed of 
a devil, etc. 

AND a Jesus, being full of the 
Holy Ghost, returned from 
Jordan, and h was led by the Spirit 
into the wilderness, 

2 Being forty days c tempted of 
the devil. And d m those days he 
did eat nothing : and when they 
were ended, he afterward hun- 
gered. 

3 And the devil said unto him, 
If thou be the Son of God, com- 
mand this stone that it be made 
bread. 

4 And Jesus answered him, say- 
ing, 6 It is written, That man shall 
not live by bread alone, but by 
every word of God. 

5 And the devil, taking him up 
into an high mountain, showed 
unto him all the kingdoms of the 
world in a moment of time. 

6 And the devil said unto him, 
All this power will I give thee, 
and the glory of them: for / that is 
delivered unto me; and to whom- 
soever I will I give it. 

7 If thou therefore wilt x worship 
me, all shall be thine. 

8 And Jesus answered and said 
unto him, Get thee behind me, 
Satan : 9 for it is written, Thou 
shalt worship the Lord thy God, 
and him only shalt thou serve. 

9 And h he brought him to Jeru- 
salem, and set him on a pinnacle 
of the temple, and said unto him, 
If thou be the Son of God, * cast 
thyself down from hence: 

10 For S it is written, He shall 
give his angels charge over thee, 
to keep thee; 

11 And in their hands they shall 
bear thee up, lest at any time 
thou dash thy foot against a 
stone. 

12 And Jesus answering said unto 
him, k It is said, Thou shalt not

14 <i[ And n Jesus returned in the - 
power of the Spirit into ° Galilee: 
and there went out a fame of him 
through all the region round 
about. 

15 And he taught in their syna- 
gogues, being p glorified of all. 

16 % And he came to q Nazareth, 
where he had been brought up: 
and, as his custom was, r he went 
into the synagogue on the sabbath 
day, and stood up for to read. 

17 And there was delivered unto 
him the book of the prophet 
Esaias. And when he had opened 
the book, he found the place where 
it was written, 

18 The s Spirit of the Lord is upon 
me, because he hath anointed me 
to preach the Gospel to the poor; 
he hath sent me to heal the broken- 
hearted, to preach deliverance to 
the captives, and recovering of 
sight to the blind, to set at liberty 
them that are bruised, 

19 To preach the * acceptable 
year of the Lord. 

20 And he closed the book^ and 
he gave it again to the minister, 
and sat down. And the eyes of 
all them that were in the syna- 
gogue were fastened on him. 

21 And he began to say unto 
them, This day is this scripture 
fulfilled in your ears. 

22 And all bare him witness, 
and M wondered at the gracious 
words which proceeded out of his 
mouth. And they said, v Is not 
this Joseph's son? 

23 And he said unto them, Ye 
will surely say unto me this pro- 
verb, Physician, heal thyself: 
whatsoever we have heard done 
in w Capernaum, do also here in 
thy x country. 

24 And he said, Verily I say unto 
you, No prophet y is accepted in 
his own country. 

25 But I tell you of a truth, 
many s widows were in Israel in 
the days of Elias, when the heaven 
was shut up three years and six 
months, when great famine was 
throughout all the land; 

26 But unto none of them was 
Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a 
city of Sidon, unto a woman thai 
was a widow. 

27 And a many lepers were in 
Israel in the time of Eliseus the 
prophet; and none of them was 
cleansed, saving Naaman the 
Syrian. 

28 And all they in the synagogue,

when they heard these things, were 
filled with wrath, 

29 And rose up, and thrust him 
out of the city, and led him unto 
the 2 brow of the hill whereon 
their city was built, that they 
might cast him down headlong. 

30 But he h passing through the 
midst of them went his way, 

31 And c came down to Caper- 
naum, a city of Galilee, and taught 
them on the sabbath days. 

32 And they were astonished at 
his doctrine: d for his word was 
with power. 

33 % And 6 in the synagogue there 
was a man which had a spirit of 
an unclean devil, and cried out 
with a loud voice, 

34 Saying, 3 Let us alone; what 
have we to do with thee, tKou 
Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come 
to destroy us? I know thee who 
thou art; / the Holy One of God. 

35 And Jesus rebuked him, say- 
ing, Hold thy peace, and come 
out of him. And when the devil 
had thrown him in the midst, he 
came out of him, and hurt him 
not. 

36 And they were all amazed, 
and spake among themselves, say- 
ing, What a word is this! for with 
authority and power he com- 
mandeth the unclean spirits, and 
they come out. 

37 And 9 the fame of him went 
out into every place of the country 
round about. 

38 f And, h he arose out of the 
synagogue, and entered into 
Simon's house. And Simon's 
wife's mother was taken with a 
great fever; and they besought him 
for her. 

39 And he stood over her, * and 
rebuked the fever; and it left her. 
And immediately she arose and 
ministered unto them. 

40 \ Now J when the sun was set- 
ting, all they that had any sick 
with divers diseases brought them 
unto him; and he laid his hands 
on every one of them, and healed 
them. 

41 And h devils also came out of 
many, crying out, and saying,

CHAPTER V. 

1 Christ teacheth out of Peter's ship. 4 A 
miraculous draught of fishes. 12 A leper 
cleansed. 18 The palsy healed. 27 Levi 
called from the receipt of custom. 

AND a it came to pass, that, as 
the people pressed upon him 
to hear the word of God, he stood 
by the lake of Gennesaret, 

2 And saw two ships standing by 
the lake : but the fishermen were 
gone out of them, and were wash- 
ing their nets. 

3 And he entered into one of the 
ships, which was Simon's, and 
prayed him that he would thrust 
out a little from the land. And 
he sat down, and taught the people 
out of the ship. 

4 Now when he had left speak- 
ing, he said unto Simon, 6 Launch 
out into the deep, and let down 
your nets for a draught. 

5 And Simon answering said 
unto him, Master, we have toiled 
all the night, and have taken no- 
thing: nevertheless at thy word I 
will let down the net. 

6 And when they had this 
done, they inclosed a great mul- 
titude of fishes: and then net 
brake. 

7 And they beckoned unto their 
partners, which were in the other 
ship, that they should come and 
help them. And they came, and 
filled both the ships, so that they 
began to sink. 

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he 
fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, 
Depart c from me; for I am a sinful 
man, O Lord. 

9 For he was astonished, and all 
that were with him, at the 
draught of the fishes which they 
had taken: 

10 And so was also James and 
John, the sons of Zebedee, which 
were partners with Simon. And 
Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; 
from d henceforth thou shalt catch 
men. 

11 And when they had brought 
their ships to land, e they forsook 
all, and followed him. 

12 *H And /it came to pass, when 
he was in a certain city, behold a

man full of leprosy; who, seeing 
.Jesus, fell on his face, and besought 
him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, 
thou canst "make me clean. 

13 And he put forth his hand, 
and touched him, saying, I will : 
be thou clean. And immediate- 
ly the leprosy departed from 
him. 

14 And h he charged him to tell 
no man : but go, and show thyself 
to the priest, and offer for thy 
cleansing, * according as Moses 
commanded, for a testimony unto 
them. 

15 But so much the more went 
there a fame abroad of him : and 
great i multitudes came together 
to hear, and to be healed by him 
of their infirmities. 

16 And k he withdrew himself 
into the wilderness, and prayed. 

17 % And it came to pass on a 
certain day, as he was teaching, 
that there were Pharisees and 
doctors of the law sitting by, which 
were come out of every town of 
Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: 
and the power of the Lord was 
present to heal them. 

18 f And, l behold, men brought 
in a bed a man which was taken 
with a palsy: and they sought 
means to bring him in, and to lay 
him before him. 

19 And when they could not find 
by what way they might bring him 
in because of the multitude, they 
went upon the house-top, and let 
him down through the tiling with 
his couch into the midst before 
Jesus. 

20 And when he saw their m faith, 
he said unto him, Man, n thy sins 
are forgiven thee. 

21 And °the scribes and the 
Pharisees began to reason, say- 
ing, Who is this which speaketh 
blasphemies ? p "Who can forgive 
sins but God alone? 

22 But when Jesus perceived their 
thoughts, he answering said unto 
them, What reason ye in your 
hearts? 

23 Whether is easiei, to say, Thy 
sins be forgiven thee; or to say, 
Bise up and walk? 

24 But that ye may know that 
the q Son of man hath power upon 
earth to forgive sins, (he said unto 
the sick of the palsy,) I say unto 
thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, 
and go unto thine house. 

25 And immediately he rose up 
before them, and took up that

his own house, r glorifying God. 

26 And they were all amazed, 
and they glorified God, and were 
filled with fear, saying, We have 
seen strange things to-day. 

27 <H And s after these things he 
went forth, and saw a publican, 
named Levi, sitting at the receipt 
of custom: and he said unto him, 
Follow me. 

28 And he left all, rose up, and 
followed him. 

29 And * Levi made him a great 
feast in his own house: and u there 
was a great company of publicans 
and of others that sat down with 
them. 

30 But their scribes and Phari- 
sees murmured against his dis- 
ciples, saying, Why do ye eat and 
drink with publicans and sinners? 

31 And Jesus answering said 
unto them, They that are whole 
need not a physician; but they 
that are sick. 

32 I " came not to call the right 
eous, but sinners to repentance. 

33 1f And they said unto him, 
Why w do the disciples of John 
fast often, and make prayers, and 
likewise the disciples of the Phari- 
sees; but thine eat and drink? 

34 And he said unto them, Can 
ye make the children of the bride- 
chamber fast while the x bride- 
groom is with them? 

35 But the days will come, when 
the bridegroom shall y be taken 
away from them, and then shall 
they z fast in those days. 

36 If And a he spake also a parable 
unto them; No man putteth a 
piece of a new garment upon an 
old : if otherwise, then both the 
new maketh a rent, and the piece 
that was taken out of the new 
agreeth not with the old. 

37 And no man putteth new 
wine into old bottles; else the new 
wine will burst the bottles, and be 
spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 

38 But new wine must be put 
into new bottles; and both are 
preserved. 

39 No man also having drunk 
old wine straightway desireth new; 
for he saith, The old is better.

fields; and his disciples plucked 
the ears of corn, and did eat, 
rubbing them in their hands. 

2 And certain of the Pharisees 
said unto them, h Why do ye that 
which is not lawful to do on the 
sabbath days? 

3 And Jesus answering them 
said, Have ye not read so much as 
this, c what David did, when him- 
self was an hungered, and they 
which were with him; 

4 How he went into the house of 
God, and did take and eat the 
showbread, and gave also to them 
that were him; d which it is not 
lawful to eat but for the priests 
alone? 

5 And he said unto them, That 
the Son of man is Lord also of the 
sabbath. 

6 % And e it came to pass also on 
another sabbath, that he entered 
into the synagogue and taught: 
and there was a man whose right 
hand was withered. 

7 And the scribes and Pharisees 
watched him, whether he would 
heal on the sabbath day; that they 
might find an accusation against 
him. 

8 But he / knew their thoughts, 
and said to the man which had 
the withered hand, Else up, and 
stand forth in the midst. And he 
arose and stood forth. 

9 Then said Jesus unto them, I 
will ask you one thing; 9 Is it law- 
ful on the sabbath days to do good, 
or to do evil? to save life, or to 
destroy it? 

1 And looking round about upon 
them all, he said unto the man, 
Stretch forth thy hand. And he 
did so: and his hand was restored 
whole as the other. 

11 And they were filled with 
madness; and communed one 
with another what they might do 
to Jesus. 

12 f And h it came to pass in 
those days, that he went out into 
a mountain to pray, and continued 
all night in prayer to God. 

13 And when it was day, he called 
unto him his disciples: * and of them 
he chose twelve, whom also he 
named Apostles;

Peter,) and Andrew his brother,

all Judea and Jerusalem, and 
from the sea coast of Tyre and 
Sidon, which came to hear him,

shall reproach you, and cast out 
your name as evil, for the Son of 
man's sake. 

23 Rejoice 'ye in that day, and 
leap for joy: for, behold, your re- 
ward is great in heaven: for u in

sinners also love those that love 
them.

which do good to you, what thank

his servant, being absent; 11 raiseth the 
widow's son. 24 Christ's testimony of 
John. 36 Mary Magdalene anointeth 
Christ's feet. 

NOW when he had ended all his 
sayings in the audience of the 
people, he entered into Caper- 
naum. 

2 And a a certain centurion's ser- 
vant, who was dear unto him, was 
sick, and ready to die. 

3 And when he heard of Jesus, 
he sent unto him the elders of the 
Jews, beseeching him that he 
would come and heal his servant. 

4 And when they came to Jesus, 
they besought him instantly, say- 
ing, That he was worthy for whom 
he should do this: 

5 For he loveth our nation, and 
he hath built us a synagogue. 

6 Then Jesus went with them. 
And when he was now not far from 
the house, the centurion sent 
friends to him, saying unto him, 
Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am 
not worthy that thou shouldest 
enter under my roof: 

7 Wherefore neither thought 1 
myself worthy to come unto thee: 
but say in a word, and my servant 
shall be healed. 

8 For I also am a man set under 
authority, having under me soldiers; 
and I say unto 1 one, Go, and he 
goeth; and to another, Come, and 
he cometh; and to my servant, Do 
this, and he doeth it.

he marvelled at him, and turned 
him about, and said unto the

unto you, I have not found so 
great faith, no, not in h Israel. 

] And they that were sent, re- 
turning to the house, found the 
servant whole that had been 
sick. 

11 1f And it came to pass the day 
after, that he went into a city 
called Nam; and many of his dis- 
ciples went with him, and much 
people. 

12 Now when he came nigh to 
the gate of the city, behold, there 
was a dead man carried out, the 
only son of his mother, and she 
was a widow: and much people 
of the city was with her. 

13 And when the Lord saw her, 
he c had compassion on her, and 
said unto her, Weep not. 

14 And he came and touched the 
2 bier: and they that bare him stood 
still. And he said, Young man, I 
say unto thee, d Arise. 

15 And he that was dead sat up, 
and began to speak. And he de- 
livered him to his mother. 

16 And e there came a fear on all: 
and they glorified God, saying, 
That /a great prophet is risen up 
among us; and, 9 That God hath 
visited his people. 

17 And this rumour of him went 
forth throughout all Judea, and 
throughout all the region round 
about. 

18 % And h the disciples of John 
showed him of all these things. 

19 And John calling unto him two 
of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, 
saying, Art thou *he that should 
come? or look we for another? 

20 When the men were come 
unto him, they said, John Baptist 
hath sent us unto thee, saying, 
Art thou he that should come? or 
look we for another? 

21 And in the same hour he cured 
many of their infirmities and 
plagues, and of evil spirits; and 
unto many that were blind he gave 
sight. 

22 Then I Jesus answering said 
unto them, Go your way, and tell 
John what things ye have seen and 
heard; *how that the blind see, 
the lame walk, the lepers are 
cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead 
are raised, l to the poor the Gospel 
is preached. 

23 And blessed is he, whosoever 
shall not be offended in me.

24 ^ And m when the messengers 
of John were departed, he began 
to speak unto the people concern- 
ing John, What went ye out into 
the wilderness for to see? A reed 
shaken with the wind? 

25 But what went ye out for to 
see? A man clothed in soft rai- 
ment ? Behold, they which are 
gorgeously apparelled, and live 
delicately, are in kings' courts. 

26 But what went ye out for to 
see ? A prophet ? Yea, I say unto 
you, and much more than a pro- 
phet. 

27 This is he of whom it is writ- 
ten, n Behold, I send my messen- 
ger before thy face, which shall 
prepare thy way before thee. 

28 For I say unto you, Among 
those that are born of women 
there is not a greater prophet than 
John the Baptist: but he that is 
least in the kingdom of God is 
greater than he. 

29 And all the people that heard 
him, and the publicans, justified 
God, ° being baptized with the 
baptism of John. 

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers 

3 rejected p the counsel of God 

4 against themselves, being not 
baptized of him. 

31 Tf And the Lord said, q Where- 
unto then shall I liken the men of 
this generation? and to what are 
they like? 

32 They are like unto children 
sitting in the market-place, and 
calling one to another, and say- 
ing, We have piped unto you, and 
ye have not danced; we have 
mourned to you, and ye have not 
wept. 

33 For r John the Baptist came 
neither eating bread nor drinking 
wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 

34 The Son of man is come eating 
and drinking; and ye say, Behold 
a gluttonous man, and a wine- 
bibber, a friend of publicans and 
sinners! 

35 But * Wisdom is justified of 
all her children. 

36 1[ And * one of the Pharisees 
desired him that he would eat 
with him. And he went into the 
Pharisee's house, and sat down to 
meat. 

37 And, behold, a u woman in 
the city, which was a sinner, when 
she knew that Jesus sat at meat 
in the Pharisee's house, brought 
an alabaster box of ointment, 

38 And stood at his feet behind

him v weeping, and began to wash 
his feet with tears, and did wipe 
them with the hairs of her head, 
and kissed his feet, and anointed 
them with the ointment. 

39 Now when the Pharisee which 
had bidden him saw it, he spake 
within himself, saying, ^This man, 
if he were a prophet, would have 
known who and what manner of 
woman this is that toucheth him; 
for she is a sinner. 

40 And Jesus answering said 
unto him, Simon, I have some- 
what to say unto thee. And he 
saith, Master, say on. 

41 There was a certain creditor 
which had two debtors: the one 
owed five hundred x pence, and 
the other fifty. 

42 And when they had nothing 
to pay, he frankly y forgave them 
both. Tell me therefore, which of 
them will love him most? 

43 Simon answered and said, I 
suppose that he to whom he for- 
gave most. And he said unto him, 
Thou hast rightly judged. 

44 And he turned to the woman, 
and said unto Simon, Seest thou 
this woman? I entered into thine 
house, thou gavest me no z water 
for my feet: but she hath washed 
my feet with tears, and wiped 
them with the hairs of her head. 

45 Thou gavest me no ° kiss: but 
this woman since the time I came 
in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 

46 My 6 head with oil thou didst 
not anoint: but this woman hath 
anointed my feet with ointment. 

47 Wherefore C I say unto thee, 
Her sins, which are many, are for- 
given; for she loved much: but to 
whom little is forgiven, the same 
loveth little. 

48 And he said unto her, d Thy 
sins are forgiven. 

49 And they that sat at meat 
with him began to say within 
themselves, * Who is this that for- 
giveth sins also? 

50 And he said to the woman, 
Thy /faith hath saved thee; go in 
peace.

the kingdom of God: and the 
twelve were with him, 

2 And "certain women, which 
had been healed of evil spirits and 
infirmities, Mary called Mag- 
dalene, 6 out of whom went seven 
devils, 

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza 
Herod's steward, and Susanna, 
and many others, which minis- 
tered unto him of their substance. 

4 \ And °when much people 
were gathered together, and were 
come to him out of every city, he 
spake by a parable: 

5 A sower went out to sow his 
seed: and as he sowed, some fell 
by the way-side; and it was trodden 
down, and the fowls of the air 
devoured it. 

6 And some fell upon a rock; and 
as soon as it was sprung up, it 
withered away, because it lacked 
moisture. 

7 And some fell among thorns; 
and the thorns sprang up with it, 
and choked it. 

8 And other fell on good ground, 
and sprang up, and bare fruit an 
hundred-fold. And when he had 
said these things, he cried, He that 
hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

9 ^ And d his disciples asked him, 
saying, What might this parable 
be? 

10 And he said, Unto you it is 
given to know the mysteries of the 
kingdom of God: but to others in 
parables; c that seeing they might 
not see, and hearing they might 
not understand. 

11 Now /the parable is this: 
The 9 seed is the word of God. 

12 Those by A the way-side are 
they that hear; then cometh * the 
devil, and taketh away the word 
out of their hearts, lest they should 
believe and be saved. 

13 They on the rock are they, 
which, when they hear, receive 
the word with joy; and these have 
no root, which for a while believe, 
and in time of temptation fall 
away. 

14 And that which fell among 
thorns are they, which, when they 
have heard, go forth, and are 
choked with cares ^"and riches and 
pleasures of this life, and bring no 
fruit to perfection. 

15 But that on the good ground 
are they, which in an honest and 
good heart, having heard the word, 
keep it, and lc bring forth fruit with 
patience.

16 % No l man, when he hath 
lighted a candle, covereth it with 
a vessel, or putteth it under a 
bed; "but settefh it on a candle- 
stick, that they which enter in 
may see the light 

17 For m nothing is secret that 
shall not be made manifest; 
neither any thing hid that shah not

18 Take heed therefore how ye 
hear: n for whosoever hath, to him 
shall be given; and whosoever

19 i[ Then "came to him his 
mother and his brethren, and 
could not come at him for the 
press. 

20 And it was told him by certain, 
which said, Thy mother and thy 
brethren stand without, desiring 
to see thee. 

21 And he answered and said 
unto them, My mother and my 
brethren are these which hear the 
word of God, and do it. 

22 % Now v it came to pass on a 
certain day, that he went into a 
ship with his disciples: and he 
said unto them, Let us go over 
unto the other side of the lake. 
And they launched forth. 

23 But as they sailed he fell 
asleep: and there came down a 
storm of wind on the lake; and 
they were filled tcith water, and 
were in jeopardy. 

24 And they came to him, and 
awoke him, saying, Master, master, 
we perish! Then he q arose, and 
rebuked the wind and the raging 
of the water: and they ceased, and 
there was a calm. 

25 And he said unto them, 
Where is your faith? And they 
being r afraid wondered, saying 
one to another, What manner of 
man is this! for he commandeth 
even the winds and water, and 
they obey him. 

26 % And s they arrived at the 
country of the Gadarenes, which 
is over against Galilee. 

27 And when he went forth to 
land, there met him out of the 
city a certain man, which had 
devils long time, and ware no 
clothes, neither abode in any 
house, but in the tombs. 

28 When he saw Jesus, he ( cried

29 (For he had commanded the 
unclean spirit to come out of the 
man. For oftentimes it had 
caught him: and he was kept 
bound with chains and in fetters; 
and he brake the bands, and was 
driven of the devil into the wilder- 
ness.) 

30 And Jesus asked him, saying, 
What is thy name? And he said, 
Legion: because many devils were 
entered into him. 

31 And they besought him that 
he would not command the^n to 
go out u into the deep. 

32 And there was there an "herd 
of many swine feeding on the 
mountain: and they besought 
him that he would suffer them to 
enter into them. And w he suffered 
them. 

33 Then went the devils out of 
the man, and entered into the 
swine: and the herd ran violently 
down a steep place into the lake, 
and were choked. 

34 When they that fed them saw 
what was done, they fled, and 
went and told it in the city and 
in the country. 

35 Then they went out to see 
what was done; and came to Jesus, 
and found the man out of whom 
the devils were departed, sitting 
at the feet of Jesus, clothed, x and 
in his right mind: and they were 
afraid. 

36 They also which saw it told 
them by what means he tha 
possessed of the devils was healed. 

37 «[ Then y the whole multi 

of the country of the Gadaicnes 
round about besought *him to de- 
part from them; for they were 
taken with great fear. And he 
went up into the ship, and re- 
turned back again. 

38 Now a the man out of whom 
the devils were departed besought 
him that he might be with hrm: 
but Jesus sent him away, saying, 

39 Return to thine own house, 
and show how great things God 
hath done onto thee. And he 
went his way, and published 
throughout the whole city how 
great things Jesus had done unto 
him.

down at Jesus' feet, and besought 
him that he would come into his 
house: 

42 For he had one only daughter, 
about twelve years of age, and she 
lay a-dying. But as he went the 
people thronged him. 

43 f And c a woman, having an 
issue of blood twelve years, which 
had spent all her living upon phy- 
sicians, neither could be healed of 
any, 

44 Came behind him, and d touch- 
ed the border of his garment: and 
immediately her issue of blood 
stanched. 

45 And Jesus said, Who touched 
me? When all denied, Peter and 
they that were with him said, 
Master, the multitude throng thee 
and press thee, and sayest thou, 
Who touched me? 

46 And Jesus said, Somebody 
hath touched me: for I perceive 
that "virtue is gone out of me. 

47 And when the woman saw 
that she was not hid, she came 
trembling, and falling down before 
him, she declared unto him before

1 Christ sendeth out Ms apostles: 7 Herod 
is desirous to see him. 12 Christ feedeth 
Jive thousand: 28 his transfiguration; 
37 he healeth a lunatic, etc. 

THEN °he called his twelve dis- 
ciples together, and 6 gave 
them power and authority over all 
devils, and to cure diseases. 

2 And c he sent them to preach 
the kingdom of God, and to heal 
the sick. 

3 And d he said unto them, Take 
nothing for your journey, neither 
staves, nor scrip, neither bread, 
neither money; neither have two 
coats apiece. 

4 And "whatsoever house ye 
enter into, there abide, and thence 
depart. 

5 And/whosoever will not receive 
you, when ye go out of that city, 
shake 9 off the very dust from your 
feet for a testimony against them. 

6 And h they departed, and went 
through the towns, preaching the 
Gospel, and healing every where. 

7 \ Now * Herod the tetrarch 
heard of all that was done by him: 
and he was perplexed, because 
that it was said of some, that John 
was risen from the dead; 

8 And of some, that Elias had 
appeared; and of others, that one 
of the old prophets was risen 
again. 

9 And Herod said, John have I 
beheaded: but who is this of whom 
I hear such things? And $ he de- 
sired to see him. 

10 If And *the apostles, when 
they were returned, told him all 
that they had done. And *he 
took them, and went aside pri- 
vately into a desert place belong- 
ing to the city called Bethsaida. 

11 And the people, when they 
knew it, followed him: and he re- 
ceived them, and spake unto them 
of the kingdom of God, and healed 
them that had need of healing. 

12 \ And m when the day began 
to wear away, then came the 
twelve, and said unto him, Send 
the multitude away, that they

try round about, and lodge, and 
get victuals: for we are here in a 
desert place. 

13 But he said unto them, n Give

14 (For they were about five 
thousand men.) And he said to 
his disciples, Make them sit down 
by fifties in a company. 

15 And they did so, and made 
them all sit down. 

16 Then he took the five loaves 
and the two fishes, and looking up 
to heaven, he blessed them, and 
brake, and gave to the disciples to 
set before the multitude. 

17 And they p did eat, and were 
all filled: ana there was taken up 
of fragments that remained to 
them twelve baskets.

was alone praying, his disciples

them, saying, Whom say the peo- 
ple that I am? 

19 They answering said, r John 
the Baptist; but some say, Elias; 
and others say, that one of the old 
prophets is risen again. 

20 He said unto them, But whom 
say ye that I am? s Peter answer- 
ing said. The Christ of God. 

21 And 'he straitly charged them, 
and commanded them to tell no 
man that thing; 

22 Saying, M The Son of man 
must suffer many things, and be 
rejected of the elders and chief 
priests and scribes, and be slain, 
and be raised the third day. 

23 % And v he said to them all, If 
any man will come after me, let 
him deny himself, and take up his 
cross daily, and follow me. 

24 For whosoever will save his 
life shall lose it: but whosoever 
will lose his life for my sake, the 
same shall save it. 

25 For w what is a man advan- 
taged, if he gain the whole world, 
and lose himself, or be cast away? 

26 For x whosoever shall be 
ashamed of me and of my words, 
of him shall the Son of man be 
ashamed, when; he shall come in 
his own glory, and in his Father's, 
and of the holy angels. 

27 But y I tell you of a truth, 
there be some standing he^e, which 
shall not taste of death, till they

altered, and his raiment was 
white and glistering. 

30 And, behold, there talked with 
him two men, which were Moses 
and J Elias; ' 

31 Who appeared in c glory, and 
spake of his decease which he 
should accomplish at Jerusalem. 

32 But Peter and they that were 
with him were d heavy with sleep: 
and when they were awake, they 
saw his glory, and the two men 
that stood with him. 

33 And it came to pass, as they 
departed from him, Peter said 
unto Jesus, Master, it is good for 
us to be here: and let us make 
three tabernacles; one for thee, 
and one for Moses, and one for 
Elias: not knowing what he 
said. 

34 While he thus spake, there 
came a cloud and overshadowed 
them: and they feared as they 
entered into the cloud. 

35 And there came a voice out of 
the cloud, saying, e This is my be- 
loved Son: hear^him. 

36 And when the voice was past, 
Jesus was found alone. 9 And 
they kept it close, and told no 
man in those days any of those 
things which they had seen. 

37 If And h it came to pass, that 
on the next day, when they were 
come down from the hill, much 
people met him. 

38 And, behold, a man of the 
company cried out, saying, Master, 
I beseech thee, look upon my son; 
for he is mine only child: 

39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, 
and he suddenly crieth out; and 
it teareth him that he foameth 
again, and, bruising him, hardly 
departeth from him. 

40 And I besought thy disciples 
to cast him out; and they could 
not. 

41 And Jesus answering said, O 
faithless and perverse generation! 
how long shall I be with you, and 
suffer you? Bring thy son hither. 

42 And as he was yet a-coming, 
the devil threw hrm down, and 
tare him. And Jesus rebuked the 
unclean spirit, and healed the 
child, and delivered him again 
to his father. 

43 If And they were all amazed 
at the mighty power of God. But, 
while they wondered every one at 
all things which Jesus did, he said 
unto his disciples, 

44 Let * these sayings sink down 



Christ teacheth humility. 



LUKE,X. 



He sends out seventy discipki 



into your ears: for the Son of man 
shall be delivered into the hands 
of men. 

45 But i they understood not this 
saying, and it was hid from them, 
that they perceived it not: and 
they feared to ask him of that 
saying. 

46 X Then * there arose a reason- 
ing among them, which of them 
should he greatest. 

47 And Jesus, perceiving the 
thought of their heart, took a child, 
and set him by him, 

48 And said unto them, l Whoso- 
ever shall receive this child in my 
name receiveth me; and whoso- 
ever shall receive me receiveth him 
that sent me: w for he that is least 
among you all, the same shall be 
great. 

49 And n John answered and 
said, Master, we saw one casting 
out devils in thy name; and we 
forbade him, because he followeth 
not with us. 

50 And Jesus said unto him, For- 
bid him not: ° for he that is not 
against us is for us. 

51 X And it came to pass, when 
the time was come that p he should 
be received up, he stedfastly set his 
face to go to Jerusalem, 

52 And sent messengers before 
his face: and they went, and en- 
tered into a village of the Samari- 
tans, to make ready for him. 

53 And q they did not receive 
him, because his face was as 
though he would go to Jeru- 
salem. 

54 And when his disciples James 
and John saw this, they said, Lord, 
wilt thou that we command fire 
to come down from heaven, and 
consume them, even as r Elias 
did? 

55 But he turned, and rebuked 
them, and said, Ye know not 
what * manner of spirit ye are of. 

56 For the ' Son of man is not 
come to destroy men's lives, but 
to save them. And they went to 
another village. 

57 \ And M it came to pass, that, 
as theywent in the way, a certain 
man said unto him, Lord, I will 
follow thee whithersoever thou 
goest. 

58 And Jesus said unto him, 
Foxes have holes, and birds of the 
air have nests; but the Son of man 
hath not where to lay his head. 

59 And v he said unto another, 
Follow me. But he said, Lord,

dead bury their dead: but go thou 
and preach the kingdom of God. 

61 And another also said, Lord, 
I w will follow thee; but let me 
first go bid them farewell which 
are at home at my house.

man, having put his hand to the

CHAPTER X. 

I Christ sendeth out seventy disciples. 13 
Woes against Chorazin, Bethsaida, and 
Capernaum. 38 Mary commended, etc. 

AFTER these things the Lord 
appointed other seventy also, 
and a sent them two and two be- 
fore his face into every city and 
place, whither he himself would 
come. 

2 Therefore said he unto them, 
The h harvest truly is great, but 
the labourers are few : c pray ye 
therefore the d Lord of the harvest, 
that he would send forth labourers 
into his harvest. 

3 Go your ways: e behold, I send 
you forth as lambs among wolves. 

4 Carry / neither purse, nor scrip, 
nor shoes: and 9 salute no man by 
the way. 

5 And A into whatsoever house 
ye enter, first say, Peace be to this 
house. 

6 And if the son of peace be 
there, your peace shall rest upon 
it: if not, it shall turn to you 
again. 

7 And * in the same house remain, 
eating i and drinking such things 
as they give: for the * labourer 
is worthy of his hire. Go not l from 
house to house. 

8 And into whatsoever city ye 
enter, and they receive you, eat 
such things as are set before 
you: 

9 And m heal the sick that are 
therein; and say unto them, n The 
kingdom of God is come nigh unto 
you. 

10 But into whatsoever city ye 
enter, and they receive you not, 
go your ways out into the streets 
of the same, and say, 

II Even ° the very dust of your 
city, which cleaveth on us, we 
do wipe off against you: notwith- 
standing, be ye sure of this, that 
the kingdom of God is come nigh 
unto you. 



Chorazin and Bethsaida denounced. LUKE, X. 



Parable of the good Samaritan. 



12 But I say unto you, That p it 
shall be more tolerable in that 
day for Sodom, than for that 
city. 

13 "Woe q unto thee, Chorazin ! 
woe unto thee, Bethsaida ! r for if 
the mighty works had been done 
in Tyre and Sidon which have 
been done in you, they had a great 
while ago 8 repented, sitting in 
sackcloth and ashes. 

14 But it shall be more tolerable 
for Tyre and Sidon at the judg- 
ment, than for you 

15 And l thou, Capernaum, which 
art exalted w to heaven, " shalt be 
thrust down to hell. 

16 He w that heareth you heareth 
me; and he x that despise th you 
despiseth me; y and he that de- 
spiseth me despiseth him that sent 

. me. 

17 51 And the seventy returned 
again with joy, saying, Lord, even 

' the devils are subject unto us 
i through thy name. 

18 And he said unto them. z I 
beheld Satan as lightning fall from 
heaven. 

19 Behold, a I give unto you 
power to tread on serpents and 
scorpions, and over all the power 
of the enemy: and nothing shall 
by any means hurt you. 

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice 
not, that the spirits are subject 
unto you; but rather rejoice, be- 
cause your 5 names are written in 

| heaven. 
~T" 21 ^f In c that hour Jesus rejoiced 
in spirit, and said, I thank thee, 
O Father, Lord of heaven and 
earth, that thou hast hid these 
things from d the wise and pru- 
dent, and hast revealed them 
unto babes: even so, Father; for 
so it seemed good in thy sight. 

22 x All things e are delivered to 
me of my Father : and / no man 
knoweth who the Son is, but the 
Father; and who the Father is, 
but the Son, and he to whom the 
Son will reveal him. 

23 «[ And he turned him unto 
his disciples, and said privately, 
Blessed 9 are the eyes which see 
the things that ye see: 

24- For I tell you, A that many 
prophets and kings have desired 
to see those things which ye see, 
and have not seen them; and to 
hear those things which ye hear, 
and have not heard them. 

25 ^ And, behold, a certain law- 
yer stood up, and tempted him,

saying, * Master, what shall I do 
to inherit eternal life? 

26 He said unto him, What is 
written in the law? how readest 
thou? 

27 And he answering said, i Thou 
shalt love the Lord thy God with 
all thy heart, and with all thy 
soul, and with all thy strength, 
and with all thy mind; and * thy 
neighbour as thyself 

28 And he said unto him, Thou 
hast answered right: this do, l and 
thou shalt live. 

29 But he, willing to m justify 
himself, said unto Jesus, And who 
is my neighbour? 

30 And Jesus answering said, A 
certain man went down from Jer- 
usalem to Jericho, and fell among 
thieves, which stripped him of 
his raiment, and wounded him, 
and departed, leaving him half 
dead. 

31 And by chance there came 
down a certain priest that way: 
and when he saw him, " he passed 
by on the other side. 

32 And likewise a Levite, when 
he was at the place, came and 
looked on him, and passed by on 
the other side. 

33 But a certain ° Samaritan, as 
he journeyed, came where he was: 
and when he saw him, he had 
compassion on him, 

34 And went to him, and bound 
up his wounds, pouring in oil and 
wine, and set him on his own 
beast, and brought him to an inn, 
and took care of him. 

35 And on the morrow, when he 
departed, he took out two pence, 
and gave them to the host, and 
said unto him, Take care of him : 
and whatsoever thou spendest 
more, when I come again, I will 
repay thee. 

36 Which now of these three, 
thinkest thou, was neighbour 
unto him that fell among the 
thieves? 

37 And he said, He that showed 
mercy on him. Then said Jesus 
unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. 

38 % Now it came to pass, as they 
went, that he entered into a cer- 
tain village: and a certain woman 
named Martha received him into 
her house. 

39 And she had a sister called 
Mary, which also sat at Jesus' 
feet, and heard his word. 

40 But Martha was cumbered 
about much serving, and came to 



Christ

him, and said, Lord, dost thou 
not care that my sister hath left 
me to serve alone? bid her there- 
fore that she help me. 

41 And Jesus answered and said 
unto her, Martha, Martha, thou 
art careful and troubled about 
many things: 

42 But one thing is needful : and 
Mary hath chosen that good part, 
which shall not be taken away 
from her. 

CHAPTER XL 

I Christ teacheth to pray: 14 he casteth 
out a dumb devil: 27 he showeth who are 
truly blessed: 29 he preacheth to the 
people,27 and reproveth the Pharisees' 
outward show of holiness, etc. 

AND it came to pass, that, as he 
was praying in a certain place, 
when he ceased, one of his disciples 
said unto him, Lord, ° teach us to 
pray, as John also taught his dis- 
ciples. 

2 And he said unto them, "When 
ye pray, say, 6 Our Father which 
art in heaven. Hallowed be thy 
name. c Thy kingdom come. Thy 
will be done, as in heaven, so in 
earth. 

3 Give us 2 day by day our daily 
bread. 

4 And forgive us our sins: for a we 
also forgive every one that is in- 
debted to us. And e lead us not 
into temptation; but deliver us 
from evil. 

5 And he said unto them, Which 
of you shall have a friend, and 
shall go unto him at midnight, 
and say unto him, Friend, lend 
me three loaves; 

6 For a friend of mine 2 in his 
journey is come to me, and I have 
nothing to set before him? 

7 And he from within shall an- 
swer and say, Trouble me not: the 
door is now shut, and my children 
are with me in bed; I cannot rise 
and give thee. 

8 I say unto you, /Though he will 
not rise and give him, because he 
is his friend, yet because of his im- 
portunity he will rise and give 
him as many as he needeth. 

9 And 9 I say unto you, Ask, and 
it shall be given you; seek, and ye 
shall find; knock, and it shall be 
opened unto you. 

10 For every one that asketh re- 
ceiveth; and he that seeketh find- 
eth; and to him that knocketh it 
shall be opened. 

II If h a son shall ask bread of 
any of you that is a father, will he

serpent? 

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will 
he 3 offer him a scorpion? 

13 If ye then, being evil, know

your heavenly Father give the 
Holy * Spirit to them that ask 
him?

thoughts, said unto them, Every

divided against a house falleth.

gone out of a man, he walketh 
through dry places, seeking rest; 
and finding none, he saith, I will 
return unto my house whence I 
came out. 

25 And when he cometh, he 
findeth it swept and garnished. 

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to 
him seven other spirits more wicked 
than himself; and they enter in, 
and dwell there: and 'the last 
state of that man is worse than the 
first. 

27 fl And it came to pass, as he 
spake these things, a certain woman

of the company lifted up her voice, 
and said unto him, u Blessed is the 
womb that hare thee, and the paps 
which thou hast sucked. 

28 But he said, Yea "rather, 
blessed are they that hear the word 
of God, and keep it. 

29 ^ And w when the people were 
gathered thick together, he began 
to say, This is an evil generation: 
they seek a sign; and there shall 
no sign be given it, but the sign 
of Jonas the prophet. 

30 For as x Jonas was a sign unto 
the Ninevites, so shall also the Son 
of man be to this generation. 

31 The y queen of the south shall 
rise up in the judgment with the 
men of this generation, and con- 
demn them: for she came from 
the utmost parts of the earth to 
hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, 
behold, a z greater than Solomon 
is here. 

32 The men of Nineve shall rise 
up in the judgment with this 
generation, and shall condemn it: 
for °they repented at the preaching 
of Jonas; and, behold, a greater 
than Jonas is here. 

33 No 5 man, when he hath lighted 
a candle, putteth it in a secret 
place, neither under a c bushel, but 
on a candlestick, that they which 
come in may see the light. 

34 The d light of the body is the 
eye: therefore when thine eye is 
single, thy whole body also is full 
of light; but when thine eye is evil, 
thy body also ts full of darkness. 

35 Take heed therefore that the 
light which is in thee be not dark- 

. ness. 

36 If thy whole body therefore 
be . full of light, having no part 
dark, the whole shall be full of 
light, as when 5 the bright shin- 
ing of a candle doth give thee 
light. 

37 \ And as he spake, a certain 
Pharisee besought him to dine with 
him: and he went in, and sat 
down to meat. 

38 And e when the Pharisee saw 
it, he marvelled that he had not 
first washed before dinner. 

39 And /the Lord said unto him, 
Now do ye Pharisees make clean 
the outside of the cup and the 
platter; but 9 your inward part is 
full of ravening and wickedness. 

40 Ye fools, did not he that made 
that which is without make that 
which is within also?

such things as ye have; and, be- 
hold, all things are clean unto 
you. 

42 But * woe unto you, Pharisees! 
for -?'ye tithe mint and rue, and all 
manner of herbs, and pass over 
judgment and the love of God: 
these ought ye to have done, 
and not to leave the other un- 
done. 

43 "Woe 7; unto you, Pharisees! for 
ye love the uppermost seats in the 
synagogues, and greetings in the 
markets. 

44 Woe 'unto you, scribes and 
Pharisees, hypocrites! m for ye are 
as graves which appear not, and 
the men that walk over them are 
not aware of them. 

45 Then answered one of the law- 
yers, and said unto him, Master, 
thus saying thou reproachest us 
also. 

46 And he said, Woe unto you 
also, ye lawyers! n for ye lade 
men with burdens grievous to be 
borne, and ye yourselves touch 
not the burdens with one of your 
fingers. 

47 Woe ° unto you! for ye build 
the sepulchres of the prophets, and 
your fathers killed them. 

48 Truly ye bear witness that ye 
allow the deeds of your fathers : 
for^ they indeed killed them, and 
ye build their sepulchres. 

49 Therefore also said the q wis- 
dom of God, r I will send them 
prophets and apostles, and some of 
them they shall slay and perse- 
cute: 

50 That the blood of all the pro- 
phets, which was shed from the 
foundation of the world, may be 
required of this generation; 

51 From s the blood of Abel, unto 
the blood of Zacharias, which per- 
ished between the altar and the 
temple: verily I say unto you, It 
shall be required of this genera- 
tion. 

52 Woe ' unto you, lawyers ! for 
ye have taken away the key of 
knowledge: ye enter not in your- 
selves, and them that were enter- 
ing in ye 7 hindered. 

53 And as he said these things 
unto them, the scribes and the 
Pharisees began to urge Am vehe- 
mently, and to provoke him to 
speak of many things; 

54 Laying wait for him, v and 
seeking to catch something out of 
his- mouth, that they might accuse 
hini. 



Of faithfulness to Christ. 



LUKE, xn. 



To beware of covetousness. 



CHAPTER Xn. 

1 To avoid hypocrisy. 13 To beware of 
covetousness. 41 The faithful and wise 
steward. 49 Of divisions on account of 
the Gospel. 

IN ° the mean time, when there 
were gathered together an in- 
numerable multitude of people, 
insomuch that they trode one upon 
another, he began to say unto his 
disciples first of all, b Beware ye of 
the leaven of the Pharisees, which 
is hypocrisy. 

2 For c there is nothing covered, 
that shall not be revealed; neither 
hid, that shall not be known. 

3 Therefore whatsoever ye have 
spoken in darkness shall be heard 
in the light; and that which ye 
have spoken in the ear in closets 
shall be proclaimed upon the 
house-tops. 

4 And d I say unto you, my 
friends, Be not afraid of them that 
kill the body, and after that have 
no more that they can do. 

5 But I will forewarn you whom 
ye shall fear : Fear , him, which 
after he hath killed hath e power 
to cast into hell; yea, I say unto 
you, Fear him. 

6 Are not five sparrows sold for 
two -''farthings? and 9 not one of 
them is forgotten before God: 

7 But even the very hairs of your 
head are all numbered. Fear not 
therefore: ye are of more value 
than many sparrows. 

8 Also h I say unto you, Whoso- 
ever shall confess me before men, 
him shall the Son of man also con- 
fess before the angels of God: 

9 But he that denieth me before 
men shall be denied before the 
angels of God. 

10 And * whosoever shall speak a 
word against the Son of man, it 
shall be forgiven him : but unto 
him that blasphemeth against the 
Holy Ghost it shall not be for- 
given. 

11 And i when they bring you 
unto the synagogues, and unto 
magistrates, and powers, take ye 
no thought how or what thing ye 
shall answer, or what ye shall 
say: 

12 For *the Holy Ghost shall 
teach you in the same hour what 
ye ought to say. 

13 \ And one of the company 
said unto him, Master, speak to 
my brother, that he divide the in- 
heritance with me.

who made me a judge or a divider 
over you? 

15 And he said unto them, m Take 
heed, and beware of covetousness : 
for a man's life consisteth not in 
the abundance of the things which 
he possesseth. 

16 And he spake a parable unto 
them, saying, The ground of a 
certain rich man brought forth 
plentifully: 

17 And he thought within him- 
self, saying, What shall I do, be- 
cause I have no room where to 
bestow my fruits? 

18 And he said, Thk; will I do: I 
will pull down my barns, and 
build greater; and there will I be- 
stow all my fruits and my goods. 

19 And I will say to my soul, 
Soul, n thou hast much goods laid 
up for many years; take thine ease, 
eat, drink, and be merry. 

20 But God said unto him, Thou 
fool, this night x thy soul shall be 
required of thee: then ° whose shall 
those things be which thou hast 
provided ? 

21 So is he that layeth up treasure 
for himself. v and is not rich toward 
God. 

22 \ And he said unto his dis- 
ciples, Therefore I say unto you, 
Take 2 no thought for your life, 
what ye shall eat; neither for the 
body, what ye shall put on. 

23 The life is more than meat, 
and the body is more than raiment. 

24 Consider the ravens: for they 
neither sow nor reap; which nei- 
ther have storehouse nor barn; 
and r God feedeth them: how much 
more are ye better than the 
fowls? 

25 And which of you with taking 
thought can add to his stature one 
cubit? 

26 If ye then be not able to do 
that thing which is least, why take 
ye thought for the rest? 

27 Consider the lilies how they 
grow: they toil not, they spin not; 
and yet I say unto you, that Solo- 
mon in all his glory was not 
arrayed like one of these. 

28 If then God so clothe the grass, 
which is to-day in the field, and 
to-morrow is cast into the oven; 
how much more will he clothe you, 
O ye of little faith? 

29 And seek not ye what ye shall 
eat, or what ye shall drink, 2 nei- 
ther be ye of doubtful mind. 

30 For all these things do the 
nations of the world seek after: 



The faithful and 



LUKE, XII. 



unfaithful servants. 



and your Father knoweth s that ye 
have need of these things. 

31 But * rather seek ye the king- 
dom of God; and w all these things 
shall be added unto you. 

32 Fear not, little flock; for * it is 
your Father's good pleasure to give 
you the kingdom. 

33 Sell "'that ye have, and give 
alms; provide * yourselves "bags 
which wax not old, a treasure in 
the heavens that faileth not, where 
no thief approacheth, neither moth 
corrupteth. 

34 For where your treasure is, 
there will your heart he also. 

35 Let y your loins be girded 
about, * and your lights burning; 

36 And ye yourselves like unto 
men that wait for their lord, when 
be will return from the wedding; 
that, when he cometh and knock- 
eth, they may open unto him im- 
mediately. 

37 Blessed ° are those servants, 
whom the lord when he cometh 
shall find watching: verily I say 
onto you, that he shall gird him- 
self, and make them to sit down 
to meat, and will come forth and 
serve them. 

38 And if he shall come in the 
second watch, or come in the third 
watch, and find them so, blessed 
are those servants. 

39 And b this know, that if the 
goodman of the house had known 
what hour the thief would come, 
he would have watched, and not 
have suffered his house to be bro- 
ken through. 

40 Be c ye therefore ready also : 
for the Son of man cometh at an 
hour when ye think not. 

41 f Then Peter said unto him, 
Lord, speakest thou this parable 
unto us, or even to all? 

42 And the Lord said. d Who 
then is that faithful and wise stew- 
ard, whom his lord shall make 
ruler over his household, to give 
them their portion of meat in due 
season ? 

43 Blessed is that servant, whom 
his lord when he cometh shall find 
so doing. 

44 Of a truth I say unto you, 
that 6 he will make him ruler over 
all that he hath. 

45 But and if that servant say in 
his heart, My lord delayeth his 
coming; and shall begin to beat 
the men-servants and maidens, 
and to eat and drink, and to be 
drunken;

much is given, of him shall be 
much required; and to whom men 
have committed much, of him they

plished! 

51 Suppose * ye that I am come 
to give peace on earth ? I tell you, 
Nay; S but rather division : 

52 For k from henceforth there 
shall be five in one house divided, 
three against two, and two against 
three. 

53 The father shall be divided 
against the son, and the son 
against the father; the mother 
against the daughter, and the 
daughter against the mother; the 
mother-in-law against her daugh- 
ter-in-law, and the daughter- 
in-law against her mother-in- 
law. 

54 f And he said also to the 
people, l When ye see a cloud rise 
out of the west, straightway ye 
say, There cometh a shower; and 
so it is. 

55 And when ye see m the south 
wind blow, ye say, There will be 
heat; and it cometh to pass. 

56 Ye n hypocrites, ye can discern 
the face of the sky and of the 
earth; but how is it that ye do not 
discern ° this time? 

57 Yea, and why even of your- 
selves judge ye not what is right? 

58 fl When p thou goest with 
thine adversary to the magistrate, 
as q thou art in the way, give dili- 
gence that thou mayest be deliv- 
ered from him; lest he hale thee 
to the judge, and the judge de- 
fiver thee to the officer, and the 
officer cast thee into prison. 



Christ preacheth repentance. 

59 I tell thee, thou shalt not de- 
part thence, till thou hast paid 
the very last r mite. 

CHAPTER Xni. 

1 Christ preacheth repentance by the 
calamity upon the Galileans and others. 
6 The fruitless fig tree cursed. 11 He 
Jiealeth the crooked woman. 18 Parable 
of the grain of mustard seed, and of the 
leaven. 24 the strait gate. 

THERE were present at that 
season some that told him a of 
the Galileans, whose blood Pilate 
had mingled with their sacrifices. 

2 And Jesus answering said unto 
them, Suppose 6 ye that these 
Galileans were sinners above all 
the Galileans, because they suffered 
such things? 

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye 
repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom 
the tower in Siloam fell, and slew 
them, think ye that they were 
1 sinners above all men that dwelt 
in Jerusalem? 

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except c ye 
repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 

6 % He spake also this parable; d A 
certain man had a fig tree planted 
in his vineyard; and he came and 
sought fruit thereon, and found 
none. 

7 Then said he unto the dresser 
of his vineyard, Behold, these 
three e years I come seeking fruit 
on this fig tree, and find none: 
cut it down; why cumbereth it the 
ground? 

8 And he answering said unto 
him, Lord, let / it alone this year 
also, till I shall dig about it, and 
dung it: 

9 And if it bear fruit, well; and 
if not, then after that thou shalt 
cut it down. 

10 ^ And he was teaching in one 
of the synagogues on the sabbath. 

11 And, behold, there was a wo- 
man which had a spirit of infirmity 
eighteen years, and was bowed 
together, and could in no wise lift 
up herself. 

12 And when Jesus saw her, he 
called her to him, and said. unto 
her, Woman, thou art loosed from 
thine infirmity. 

13 And 9 he laid Ms hands on 
her: and immediately she was 
made straight, and glorified God. 

14 And the ruler of the synagogue 
answered A with indignation, be- 
cause that Jesus had healed on 
the sabbath day, and said unto 
the people, * There are six days in

which men ought to work: in 
them therefore come and be 
healed, and ? not on the sabbath 
day. 

15 The Lord then answered him, 
and said, Thou hypocrite, * doth 
not each one of you on the sab- 
bath loose his ox or his ass from 
the stall, and lead him away to 
watering ? 

16 And ought not this woman, 
being l a daughter of Abraham, 
whom Satan hath bound, lo, these 
eighteen years, be loosed from this 
bond on the sabbath day? 

17. And when he had said these 
things, all his adversaries were 
ashamed: and all the people re- 
joiced for all the glorious things 
that were done by him. 

18 *\ Then m said he, Unto what 
is the kingdom of God like ? and 
whereunto shall I resemble it? 

19 It is like a grain of mustard 
seed, which a man took, and cast 
into his garden; and it grew, and 
waxed a great tree; and the fowls

unto shall I liken the kingdom of 
God? 

21 It is like leaven, which a 
woman took and hid in n three 
measures of meal, till the whole 
was leavened. 

22 And ° he went through the 
cities and villages, teaching and 
journeying toward Jerusalem. 

23 \ Then said one unto him, 
Lord, are there few that be saved? 
And he said unto them, 

24 2 Strive to enter in at the strait 
gate: for p many, I say unto you, 
will seek to enter in, and shall not 
be able.

you, * I know you not whence ye

26 Then shall ye begin to say, 
We u have eaten and drunk in thy 
presence, and thou hast taught in 
our streets. 

27 But v he shall say, I tell you, I 
know you not whence ye are: 
depart w from me, all ye workers of 
iniquity.

29 And *they shall come from

from the north, and from the south, 
and shall sit down in the kingdom

30 And, a behold, there are last

31 II The same day there came 
certain of the Pharisees, saying 
unto him, Get thee out, and de- 
part hence: for Herod will kill 
thee. 

32 And he said unto them, Go 
ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I 
cast out devils, and I do cures to- 
day and to-morrow, and the third 
day B I shall be perfected. 

33 Nevertheless I must walk to- 
day, and to-morrow, and the day 
following: for it cannot be that a 
prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 

34 c Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 
which killest the prophets, and 
stonest them that are sent unto 
thee; how often would I have 
gathered thy children together, as 
a hen doth gather her brood under 
her wings, and ye would not! 

35 Behold, d your house is left 
unto you desolate: and verily I say 
onto you, Ye shall 6 not see me, 
until the time come when ye shall 
say, / Blessed is he that cometh in 
the name of the Lord.

2 Christ healeth the dropsy on the sabbath 
day: 7 teacheth humility: 12 to feed the 
poor. 15 The parable of the great sup- 
per. 25 What is required of those who 
would be Christ's disciples. 

AND it came to pass, as he went 
into the house of one of the 
chief Pharisees to eat bread on the 
sabbath day, that they watched 
him. 

2 And, behold, there was a cer- 
tain man before him which had 
the dropsy. 

3 And Jesus answering spake 
unto the lawyers and Pharisees, 
saying, * Is it lawful to heal on the 
sabbath day? 

4 And they held their peace. 
And he took him, and healed him, 
and let him go: 

5 And answered them, saying, 
Which b of you shall have an ass 
or an ox fallen into a pit, and will 
not straightway pull him out on 
the sabbath day ? 

6 And they could not answer him 
again to these things.

7 *[[ And he put forth a parable to 
those which were bidden, when he 
marked how they chose out the 
chief rooms; saying unto them, 

8 When thou art bidden of any 
man to a wedding, sit not down in 
the highest room; lest a more hon- 
ourable man than thou be bidden 
of him; 

9 And he that bade thee and 
him come and say to thee, Give 
this man place; and thou begin 
with shame to take the lowest 
room. 

10 But c when thou art bidden, 
go and sit down in the lowest 
room; that when he that bade 
thee cometh, he may say unto 
thee, Friend, go up higher: then 
shalt thou have worship in the 
presence of them that sit at meat 
with thee. 

11 For d whosoever exalteth him- 
self shall be abased; and he that 
humbleth himself shall be exalted. 

12 % Then said he also to him 
that bade him, When thou mak- 
est a dinner or a supper, call not 
thy Mends, nor thy brethren, nei- 
ther thy kinsmen, nor thy rich 
neighbours; lest they also bid thee 
again, and a recompence be made 
thee. 

13 But when thou makest a feast, 
call 6 the poor, the maimed, the 
lame, the blind: 

14 And thou shalt be blessed; for 
they cannot recompense thee : for 
thou shalt be recompensed /at the 
resurrection of the just. 

15 % And when one of them that 
sat at meat with him heard these 
things, he said unto him, 9 Blessed 
is he that shall eat bread in the 
kingdom of God. 

16 Then h said he unto him, A 
certain man made a great supper, 
and bade many: 

17 And i sent his servant at sup- 
per time to say to them that were 
bidden, Come; for all things are 
now ready. 

18 And they all with one consent 
began to make excuse. The first 
said unto him, i I have bought a 
piece of ground, and I must needs 
go and see it: I pray thee have me 
excused. 

19 And another said, I have 
bought five yoke of oxen, and I go 
to prove them: I pray thee have 
me excused. 

20 And another said, I have mar- 
ried a wife, and therefore I cannot 
come.

21 So that servant came, and 
showed his lord these things. 
Then the master of the house, 
being angry, said to his servant, 
Go k out quickly into the streets 
and lanes of the city, and bring 
in hither the poor, and the 
maimed, and the halt, and the 
blind. 

22 And the servant said, Lord, 
it is done as thou hast command- 
ed, and yet there is room. 

23 And the lord said unto the 
servant, Go out into the highways 
and hedges, l and compel them to 
come in, that my house may be 
filled. 

24 For I say unto you, m That 
none of those men which were 
bidden shall taste of my supper. 

25 f And there went great multi- 
tudes with him: and he turned, 
and said unto them, 

26 If '" any man come to me, ° and 
hate not his father, and mother, 
and wife, and children, and breth- 
ren, and sisters, p yea, and his 
own life also, he cannot be my

28 For r which of you, intending 
to build a tower, sitteth not down 
first, and counteth the cost, 
whether he have sufficient to finish 
it? 

29 Lest haply, after he hath laid 
the foundation, and is not able to 
finish it x all that behold it begin to 
mock him, 

30 Saying, This man began to 
build, and was not able to finish. 

31 Or what king, going to make 
war against another king, sitteth 
not down first, and consulteth 
whether he be able with ten thou-

against him with twenty thou- 
sand? 

32 Or else, while the other is yet 
a great way off, he sendeth * an 
ambassage, and desireth conditions

CHAPTER XV. 

1 The parable of the lost sheep: 8 of the 
piece of silver; 11 of the prodigal son. 

THEN ° drew near unto him all 
the publicans and h sinners for 
to hear him. 

2 And the Pharisees and scribes 
murmured, saying, This man re- 
ceiveth sinners, and c eateth with 
them. 

3 ^[ And he spake this parable 
unto them, saying, 

4 What d man of you, having an 
hundred sheep, if he e lose one of 
them, doth not leave the ninety 
and nine in the wilderness, and go 
after that which is lost, until he 
find it? 

5 And when he hath found it, he 
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoic- 
ing. 

6 And when he cometh home, he 
calleth together his friends and 
neighbours, saying unto them, Re- 
joice with me; for I have found 
my sheep /which was lost. 

7 I say unto you, That likewise 
joy shall be in heaven over one 
sinner that repenteth, 9 more than 
over ninety and nine just persons, 
which need no repentance. 

8 f Either what woman, having 
ten * pieces of silver, if she lose one 
piece, doth not light a candle, 
and sweep the house, and seek 
diligently till she find it? 

9 A nd when she hath found it, she 
calleth far friends and her neigh- 
bours together, saying, Rejoice with 
me; for I have found the piece 
which I had lost. 

10 Likewise, I say unto yon, 
There is joy in the presence of the 
angels of God over one sinner that 
repenteth. 

11 ^[ And he said, A certain man 
had two sons: 

12 And the younger of them said 
to his father, Father, give me the 
portion of goods that falleth to me. 
And he divided unto them h his 
living. 

13 And not many days after, the 
younger son gathered all together, 
and took his journey into * a far 
country, and there wasted his sub- 
stance with riotous living. 

14 And when he had spent all, 
there arose a mighty famine in 
that land; and he began to be in 
want. 

15 And he went and joined him- 
self to a citizen of that country; 
and he sent him into his fields to 
feed swine. 



The prodigal 



LUKE, XVI 



The unjust steward. 



16 And lie would fain have filled 
his belly with the husks that the 
swine did eat: and no man gave 
unto him. 

17 And when he came to him 
self, he said, How many hired 
servants of my father's have bread 
enough, and to spare, and I perish 
with hunger! 

18 I will 3 arise and go to my 
father, and will say unto him, 
Father, k I have sinned against 
Heaven, and before thee, 

19 And am no more worthy to 
be called thy son: make me as one 
of thy hired servants. 

20 And he arose, and came to 
his father. But l when he was yet 
a great way off, his father saw 
him, and had compassion, and 
ran, and fell on his neck, and 
kissed him. 

21 And the son said unto him, 
Father, I have sinned against 
Heaven, m and in thy sight, and 
am no more worthy to be called 
thy son. 

22 But the father said to his ser- 
vants, Bring forth n the best robe, 
and put it on him; and put a ring 
on his hand, and shoes on his 
feet: 

23 And bring hither the fatted 
calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and 
be merry: 

24 For "this my son was dead, 
and is alive again; he was lost, 
and is found. And they p began 
to be merry. 

25 Now his elder son was in the 
field: and as he came and drew 
nigh to the house, he heard music 
and dancing. 

26 And he called one of the ser- 
vants, and asked what these things 
meant. 

27 And he said unto him, Thy 
brother is come; and thy father 
hath killed the fatted calf, because 
he hath received him safe and 
sound. 

28 And q he was angry, and would 
not goln: therefore came his father 
out, and entreated him. 

29 And he answering said to his 
father, Lo, these many years do I 
serve thee, neither transgressed I 
at any time thy commandment; 
and r yet thou never gavest me a 
kid, that I might make merry with 
my friends: 

30 But as soon as this thy son 
was come, which hath devoured 
thy living with harlots, thou hast 
killed for him the fatted calf

31 And he said unto him, Son,

I have is thine. 

32 It s was meet that we should 
make merry and be glad : for this 
thy brother was dead, and is alive 
again; and was lost, and is found. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

1 The parable of the unjust steward. 14 
Christ reproveth the hypocrisy of the 
covetous Phajrisees. 19 The rich glutton, 
and Lazarus the beggar. 

AND he said also unto his dis- 
ciples, There was a a certain 
rich man which had a steward; 
and the same was accused unto 
him that he had wasted his goods. 

2 And he called him, and said 
unto him, How is it that I hear 
this of thee? give an ° account of 
thy stewardship; for thou mayest 
be no longer steward. 

3 Then the steward said within 
himself, What shall I do? for my 
lord taketh away from me the 
stewardship : I cannot dig; to beg 
I am ashamed. 

4 I am resolved what to do, that, 
when I am put out of the steward- 
ship, they may receive me into 
their houses. 

5 So he called every one of his 
lord's debtors unto ham, and said 
unto the first, How much owest 
thou unto my lord ? 

6 And he said, An hundred 
1 measures of oil. And he said 
unto him, Take thy bill, and sit 
down quickly, and write fifty. 

7 Then said he to another, And 
how much owest thou? And he 
said, An hundred 2 measures of 
wheat. And he said unto him, 
Take thy bill, and write four- 
score. 

8 And the lord commended the 
unjust steward, because he had 
done wisely: for the children of 
this world are in their genera- 
tion wiser than c the children of 
light. 

9 And I say unto you, d Make 
to yourselves friends of the 3 mam- 
mon of unrighteousness; that, 
when ye fail, they may receive 
you into everlasting habitations. 

10 He 6 that is faithful in that 
which is least is faithful also in 
much; and he that is unjust in 
the least is unjust also in much. 

11 If therefore ye have not been 
faithful in the unrighteous * mam- 
mon, who will commit to your 
trust the /true riches? 

12 And if ye have not been faith-

iiil in that which is another man's, 
who shall give you that which is 
your own? 

13 No 9 servant can serve two 
masters: for either he will hate the 
one, and love the other; or else he 
will hold to the one, and despise 
the other. Ye cannot serve God 
and mammon. 

14 ^ And the Pharisees also, 
who h were covetous, heard all 
these things: and they derided 
him. 

15 And he said unto them, Ye 
are they which * justify yourselves 
before men; but God J'knoweth 
your hearts: for Hhat which is 
highly esteemed among men is 
abomination in the sight of 
God. 

16 The l Law and the Prophets 
were until John: since that time 
the kingdom of God is preached, 
and every man presseth into it. 

17 And m it is easier for heaven 
and earth to pass, than one tittle 
of the Law to fail. 

18 Whosoever "putteth away his 
wife, and marrieth another, com- 
mitteth adultery: and whosoever 
marrieth her that is put away 
from her husband committeth 
adultery. 

19 H There was a certain rich 
man, which was clothed in purple 
and fine linen, and fared sump- 
tuously every day: 

20 And there was a certain beg- 
gar named Lazarus, which was 
laid at his gate, ° full of sores, 

21 And desiring to be fed with 
the crumbs which fell from the 
rich man's table: moreover the 
dogs came and licked his sores. 

22 And it came to pass, that the 
beggar died, and p was carried by 
the angels into Abraham's q bosom : 
the rich man also died, and was 
buried; 

23 And in hell he lifted up his 
eyes, being in torments, and seeth 
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in 
his bosom. 

24 And he cried and said, Father 
Abraham, have mercy on me, and 
send Lazarus, that he may dip the 
tip of his finger in water, and r cool 
my tongue; for I s am tormented 
in this flame. 

25 But Abraham said, Son, * re- 
member that thou in thy lifetime 
received st thy good things, and 
likewise Lazarus evil things : but 
now he is comforted, and thou 
art tormented.

27 Then he said, I pray thee 
therefore, father, that thou would- 
est send him to my father's house: 

28 For I have five brethren; that 
he may testify unto them, lest they 
also come into this place of tor- 
ment. 

29 Abraham saith unto him, 
They have v Moses and the Pro- 
phets; let them hear them. 

30 And he said, Nay, father 
Abraham: but if one went unto 
them from the dead, they will 
repent. 

31 And he said unto him, If they 
hear not Moses and the Pro- 
phets, w neither will they be per- 
suaded though one rose from the 
dead. 

CHAPTER XVIL 

1 CJirist teacheth to avoid occasions of 
offence, 3 to forgive erne another. 6 The 
power of faith. 11 He heaieth ten lepers. 
22 Of the kingdom of God, and the com- 
ing of the Son of man, etc. 

THEN said he unto the disci- 
ples, a It is impossible but that 
offences will come: but & woe unto 
him through whom they come! 

2 It were better for him that a 
millstone were hanged about his 
neck, and he cast into the sea, 
than that he should offend one of" 
these little ones. 

3 ^f Take heed to yourselves: c If 
thy brother trespass against thee, 
rebuke d him; and if he repent, 
forgive e him. 

4 And if he trespass against thee 
seven times in a day, and seven 
times in a day turn again to thee, 
saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive 
him. 

5 % And the apostles said unto 
the Lord, Increase our faith. 

6 And f the Lord said, If ye had 
faith as a grain of mustard seed, 
ye might say unto this sycamine 
tree, Be thou plucked up by the 
root, and be thou planted in the 
sea; and it should obey you. 

7 But which of you, having a 
servant plowing or feeding cattle, 
will say unto him by and by, when 
he is come from the field, Go and 
sit down to meat? 

8 And will not rather say unto 
him, Make ready wherewith I may 
sup, and gird thyself, g and serve

me, till I have eaten and drunk- 
en; and afterward thou shalt eat 
and drink? 

9 Doth he thank that servant 
because he did the things that 
were commanded him? I trow 
not. 

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall 
have done all those things which 
are commanded you, say, We 
are h unprofitable servants: we 
have done that which was our 
duty to do. 

11 ^ And it came to pass, * as he 
went to Jerusalem, that he passed 
through the midst of Samaria and 
Galilee. 

12 And as he entered into a cer- 
tain village, there met him ten 
men that were lepers, which i stood 
afar off. 

13 And they lifted up their voices, 
and said, Jesus, Master, have 
mercy on us. 

14 And when he saw them, he 
said unto them, k Go show your- 
selves unto the priests. And it 
came to pass, that, as they went, 
they were cleansed. 

15 And one of them, when he 
saw that he was healed, turned 
back, and with a loud voice l glo- 
rified God, 

16 And fell down on his face at 
his feet, giving him thanks: and he 
was m a Samaritan. 

17 And Jesus answering said, 
Were there not ten cleansed? but 
where are the nine? 

18 There are not found that re- 
turned to give glory to God, save 
this stranger. 

19 And " he said unto him, Arise, 
go thy way: thy faith hath made 
thee whole. 

j 20 % And when he was demand- 
ed of the Pharisees, when the 
kingdom of God should come, he 
I answered them and said, The 
i kingdom of God cometh not x with 
observation: 

21 Neither shall they say, Lo 
here! or, lo there! for, behold, 
the ° kingdom of God is 2 within 
you 

22 5[ And he said unto the disci- 
ples, p The days will come, when 
ye shall desire to see one of the 
days of the Son of man, and ye 
shall not see it. 

23 And Hhey shall say to you, 
See here! or, see there! go r not

other part under heaven; so shall 
also s the Son of man be in his 
day. 

25 But * first must he suffer many 
things, and be rejected of this gen- 
eration. 

26 And u as it was in the days of 
Noe, so shall it be also in the days 
of the Son of man. 

27 They did eat, they drank, 
they married wives, they were 
given in marriage, until the day 
that Noe entered into the ark, and 
the flood came, and destroyed 
them all 

28 Likewise " also as it was in the 
days of Lot; they did eat, they 
drank, they bought, they sold, they 
planted, they bunded; 

29 But the same day that Lot 
went out of Sodom it rained fire 
and brimstone from heaven, and 
destroyed them all. 

30 Even thus shall it be in the 
day when the Son of man w is re- 
vealed. 

31 In that day, he x which shall 
be upon the house-top, and his 
stuff in the house, let him not 
come down to take it away: and 
he that is in the field, let him like- 
wise not return back. 

32 Bemember y Lot's wife. 

33 Whosoever z shall seek to save 
his life shall lose it; and whosoever 
shall lose his life shall preserve 
it. 

34 I a tell you, in that night there 
shall be two men in one bed; the 
one shall be taken, and the other 
shall be left. 

35 Two women shall be grinding 
together; the one shall be taken, 
and the other left. 

36 3 Two men shall be in the field; 
the one shall be taken, and the 
other left. 

37 And they answered and said 
unto him, 6 Where, Lord? And 
he said unto them, Wheresoever 
the body is, thither will the eagles 
be gathered together. 

CHAPTER XVLTI. 

1 The importunate .widow. 9 The Phar- 
isee and publican. 15 Children brought 
to Christ. 28 All to be left for the Gos- 
pel's sake, 31 He foreshoweth his death. 
AND he spake a parable unto 
them to this end, that men 
ought a always to pray, and not to 
faint; 

2 Saying, There was l in a city a 
judge, which feared not God, nei- 
ther regarded man:

luke, xvni. 



How to attain eternal life. 



3 And there was a widow in that 
city; and she came unto him, say- 
ing, Avenge me of mine ad- 
versary. 

4 And he would not for a while: 
but afterward he said within him- 
self, Though I fear not God, nor 
regard man; 

5 Yet 6 because this widow 
troubleth me, I will avenge her, 
lest by her continual coming she 
weary me. 

6 And the Lord said, Hear what 
the unjust judge saith. 

7 And c shall not God avenge his 
own elect, which cry day and 
night unto him, though he bear 
long with them? 

8 I tell you d that he will avenge 
them speedily. Nevertheless when 
the Son of man cometh, shall he 
find faith on the earth? 

9 t And ne spake this parable 
unto certain e which trusted in 
themselves 2 that they were right- 
eous, and despised others: 

10 Two men went up into the 
temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, 
and the other a publican. 

11 The Pharisee /stood and 
prayed thus with himself, 9 God, I 
thank thee, that I am not as other 
men are, extortioners, unjust, 
adulterers, or even as this publi- 
can. 

12 1 fast twice in the week, I give 
tithes of all that I possess. 

13 And the publican, h standing 
afar off, would not lift up so much 
as his eyes unto heaven, but smote 
upon his breast, saying, God be 
merciful to me a sinner. 

14 I tell you, this man went down 
to his house justified rather than 
the other: *for every one that 

I exalteth himself shall be abased; 

\ and he that humbleth himself 

|i shall be exalted. 

\ 15 ^ And s they brought unto 

j him also infants, that he would 
touch them: but when his disciples 
saw it, they rebuked them. 

16 But Jesus called them unto 
him, and said, k Suffer little chil- 
dren to come unto me, and forbid 
them not: for l of such is the king- 
dom of God. 

17 Verily I say unto you, Whoso- 
ever shall not receive the kingdom 
of God as a little child shall in no 
wise enter therein. 

18 ^ And m a certain ruler asked 
him, saying, Good Master, what 
shall I do to inherit eternal life? 

19 And Jesus said unto him,

Why callest thou me good? none 
is good, save one, that is, God. 

20 Thou knowest the command- 
ments, "Do not commit adultery, 
Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not 
bear false witness, ° Honour thy 
father and thy mother. 

21 And he said, All these have 1 
kept from my youth up. 

22 Now when Jesus heard these 
things, he said unto him, Yet 
lackest thou one thing: sell p all 
that thou hast, and distribute unto 
the poor, and thou shalt have 
treasure in heaven: and come, fol- 
low me. 

23 And when he heard this, he 
was very sorrowful: for he was very 
rich. 

24 And when Jesus saw that he 
was very sorrowful, he said, 2 How 
hardly shall they that have 
riches enter into the kingdom of 
God! 

25 For it is easier for a camel to 
go through a needle's eye, than for 
a rich man to enter into the king- 
dom of God. 

26 And they that heard it said, 
Who then can be saved? 

27 And he said, r The things 
which are impossible with men 
are possible with God. 

28 f Then s Peter said, Lo, we 
have left all, and followed thee. ' 

29 And he said unto them, Verily 
I say unto you, ' There is no man 
that hath left house, or parents, or 
brethren, or wife, or children, for 
the kingdom of God's sake, 

30 Who u shall not receive mani- 
fold more in this present time, 
and "in the world to come life 
everlasting. 

31 % Then w he took unto him the 
twelve, and said unto them, Be- 
hold, we go up to Jerusalem, and 
all things x that are written by the 
prophets concerning the Son of 
man shall be accomplished. 

32 For ^he shall be delivered 
unto the Gentiles, and shall be 
mocked, and spitefully entreated, 
and spitted on: 

33 And they shall scourge him, 
and put bim to death: and the 
third day he shall rise again. 

34 And *they understood none 
of these things: and this saying 
was hid. from them, neither knew 
they the things which were spoken. 

35 ^ And a it came to pass, that, 
as he was come nigh unto Jericho, 
a certain blind man sat by the 
way-side begging: 



Zaecheus ilie publican. 



LUKE, XIX. 



Parable of the talents. 



36 And hearing the multitude 
pass by, he asked what it meant. 

37 And they told him, that Jesus 
of Nazareth passeth by. 

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, 
thou son of David, have mercy on 
me! 

39 And they which went before 
rebuked him, that he should hold 
his peace: but he cried so much 
the more, Thou son of David, have 
mercy on me! 

40 And Jesus 6 stood, and com- 
manded him to be brought unto 
him: and when he was come near, 
he asked him, 

41 Saying, What wilt thou that 
I shall do unto thee? And he 
said, Lord, that I may receive my 
sight. 

42 And Jesus said unto him, Re- 
ceive thy sight: c thy faith hath 
saved thee. 

43 And immediately d he received 
his sight, and followed him, 6 glori- 
fying God: and all the people, when 
they saw it, gave praise unto God. 

CHAPTER XIX.

pieces of money, 28 Christ rideth into 
Jerusalem: 41 weepeth over it; 45 driv- 
eth the buyers and sellers out of the tem- 
ple, etc. 

AND Jesus entered and passed 
through a Jericho. 

2 And, behold, there was a man 
named Zaecheus, which was the 
chief among the publicans, and he 
was rich. 

3 And he sought to see Jesus who 
he was; and could not for the press, 
because he was little of stature. 

4 And he ran before, and climbed 
up into a sycamore tree to see him: 
for he was to pass that way. 

5 And when Jesus came to the 
place, he looked up, and saw him; 
and said unto him, Zaecheus, 
make haste, and come down; 
for to-day I must abide at thy 
house. 

6 And he made haste, and came 
down, and received him joyfully. 

7 And when they saw it, they all 
murmured, saying, b That he was 
gone to be guest with a man that 
is a sinner. 

8 And Zaecheus stood, and said 
unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the 
half of my goods I give to the 
poor; and if I have taken any 
thing from any man by c false ac- 
cusation, I d restore him fourfold. 

9 And Jesus said unto him, This 
day is salvation come to this house,

forsomuch as 6 he also is a son of 
Abraham. 

10 For /the Son of man is come 
to seek and to save that which 
was lost. 

11 1[ And as they heard these 
things, he added and spake a par- 
able, because he was nigh to Jeru- 
salem, and because 9 they thought 
that the kingdom of God should 
immediately appear. 

12 He A said therefore, A certain 
nobleman went into a far country 
to receive for himself a kingdom, 
and to return. 

13 And he called his ten servants, 
and delivered them ten x pounds, 
and said unto them, Occupy till I 
come. 

14 But f his citizens hated him, 
and sent a message after him, say- 
ing, We will not have this man to 
reign over us. 

15 And it came to pass, that, 
when he was returned, having re- 
ceived the kingdom, then he com- 
manded these servants to be called 
unto him, to whom he had given 
the 2 money, that he might know 
how much every man had gained 
by trading. 

16 Then came the first, saying, 
Lord, thy pound hath gained ten 
pounds. 

17 And he said unto him, Well, 
thou good servant: because thou 
hast been i faithful in a very little, 
have thou authority over ten 
cities. 

18 And the second came, saying, 
Lord, thy pound hath gained five 
pounds. 

19 And he said likewise to him, 
Be thou also over five cities. 

20 And another came, saying, 
Lord, behold, here is thy pound, 
which I have kept laid up in a 
napkin: 

21 For k I feared thee, because 
thou art an aiistere man: thou 
takest up that thou layedst not 
down, and reapest that thou didst 
not sow. 

22 And he saith unto him, l Out 
of thine own mouth will I judge 
thee, thou wicked servant. "Thou 
knewest that I was an austere 
man, taking up that I laid not 
down, and reaping that I did not 
sow: 

23 Wherefore then gavest not 
thou my money into the bank, 
that at my coming I might have 
required mine own with usury? 

24 And he said unto them that

stood by, Take from rrira the 
pound, and give it to him that 
hath ten pounds. 

25 (And they said unto him, 
Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 

26 For I say unto you, "That 
unto every one which hath shall 
he given; and from him that hath 
not, even that he hath shall he 
taken away from him. 

27 But those mine enemies, which 
would not that I should reign over 
them, bring hither, and slay them 
before me. 

28 And when he had thus spoken, 
he ° went before, ascending up to 
Jerusalem. 

29 1f And p it came to pass, when 
he was come nigh to Bethphage 
and Bethany, at the mount caUed 
the mount of Olives, he sent two of 
his disciples, 

30 Saying, Go ye into the village 
over against you; in the which at 
your entering ye shall find a colt 
tied, whereon yet never man sat: 
loose him, and bring him hither. 

31 And if any man ask you, Why 
do ye loose him? thus shall ye say 
unto him, Because q the Lord hath 
need of him. 

32 And they that were sent went 
their way, and found even as he 
had said unto them. 

33 And as they were loosing the 
colt, the owners thereof said unto 
them, Why loose ye the colt? 

34 And they said, The Lord hath 
need of him. 

35 And they brought him to Je- 
sus: r and they cast their garments 
upon the colt, and they set Jesus 
thereon. 

36 And s as he went, they spread 
then clothes in the way. 

37 And when he was come nigh, 
even now at the descent of the 
mount of Olives, the whole multi- 
tude of the disciples began to re- 
joice and praise God with a loud 
voice for all the mighty works 
that they had seen, 

38 Saying, t Blessed be the King 
that cometh in the name of the 
Lord: u peace in heaven, and glory 
in the highest. 

39 And some of the Pharisees 
from among the multitude said 
unto him , Master, rebuke thy dis- 
ciples. 

40 And he answered and said 
unto them, I tell you that, if these 
should hold their peace, * the 
stones would immediately cry 
out.

41 \ And when he was come 
near, he beheld the city, and * c wept 
over it, 

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, 
even thou, at least in this thy day, 
the things which belong unto thy 
peace! but now they are hid from 
thine eyes. 

43 For the days shall come upon 
thee, that thine enemies shall * cast 
a trench about thee, and compass 
thee round, and keep thee in on 
every side, 

44 And y shall lay thee even with 
the ground, and thy children with- 
in thee; and they * shall not leave 
in thee one stone upon another; 
because a thou knewest not the 
time of thy visitation. 

45 And h he went into the temple, 
and began to cast out them that 
sold therein, and them that 
bought; 

46 Saying unto them, c It is writ- 
ten, My house is the house of 
prayer: but d ye have made it a 
den of thieves. 

47 And he taught daily in the 
temple. But the e chief priests and 
the scribes and the chief of the 
people sought to destroy him, 

48 And could not find what they 
might do: for all the people 3 were 
very attentive to hear him.

1 Christ silenceth those who questioned 
his authority. 9 The parable of the 
vineyard. 27 The Sadaucees confuted. 

AND ° it came to pass, that on 
one of those days, as he taught 
the people in the temple, and 
preached the Gospel, the chief 
priests and the scribes came upon 
him with the elders, 

2 And spake unto him, saying, 
Tell us, by what h authority doest 
thou these things? or who is he 
that gave thee this authority? 

3 And he answered and said 
unto them, I will also ask you one 
thing; and answer me: 

4 The baptism of John, was it 
from heaven, or of men? 

5 And they reasoned with them- 
selves, saying, If we shall say, 
From heaven; he will say, Why 
then believed ye him not? 

6 But and if we say, Of men; all 
the people will stone us: c for they 
be persuaded that John was a 
prophet. 

7 And they answered, That <*they 
could not tell whence it was. 

8 And Jesus said unto them, 



Parable of 'the wicked "husbandmen. LUKE, XX. 



Of the resurrection of the dead. 



what 



Neither 6 tell I you by 
authority I do these things. 

9 Then began he to speak to the 
people this parable: /A certain 
man planted a vineyard, and let 
it forth to husbandmen, and went 
into a far country for a long 
time. 

10 And at the season ^he sent a 
servant to the husbandmen, that 
they should give him of the fruit 
of the vineyard: but the husband- 
men beat him, and sent him away 
empty. 

11 And again he sent another 
servant: and they beat him also, 
and entreated him shamefully, and 
sent him away empty. 

12 And h again he sent a third: 
and they wounded him also, and 
cast him out. 

13 Then said the lord of the 
i vineyard, What shall I do? I will 
| send * my beloved son: it may be 
j they will reverence him when they 
\ see him. 

) 14 But when the husbandmen 
I saw him, they reasoned among 
| themselves, saying, This is ^'the 
! heir: come, let us kill him, that 

the inheritance may be ours. 
15 -So they cast him out of the 

vineyard, and h killed him. What 

therefore shall the lord of the 

vineyard do unto them? 

16 He shall come and destroy 
these husbandmen, and shall give 
the vineyard to others. And when 
they heard it, they said, God for- 
bid. 

17 And he beheld them, and said, 
What is this then that is written, 
The l stone which the builders 
rejected, the same is become the 
head of the corner? 

18 Whosoever shall fall upon 
that stone shall be broken; m but 
on whomsoever it shall fail, it will 
grind him to powder. 

19 And the chief priests and the 
scribes the same hour sought to 
lay hands on him; and they feared 
the people: for they perceived that 
he had spoken this parable against 
them. 

20 % And n they watched him, 
and sent forth spies, which should 
feign themselves just men, that 
they might take hold of his words, 
that so they might deliver him 
unto the power and authority of 
the governor. 

21 And they asked him, saying, 
Master, we know that thou sayest 
and teachest rightly, neither ac-

ceptest thou the person of any, but 
teachest the way of God 1 truly: 

22 Is it lawful for us to give 
tribute unto Cesar, or no? 

23 But he perceived their crafti- 
ness, and said unto them, Why 
tempt ye me? 

24 Show me a p penny. Whose 
image and superscription hath it? 
They answered and said, Cesar's. 

25 And he said unto them, Bender 
therefore unto Cesar the things 
which be Cesar's, and unto God 
the things which be God's. 

26 And they could not take hold 
of his words before the people: and 
they marvelled at his answer, and 
held their peace. 

27 f Then q came to him certain 
of the Sadducees, ''which deny 
that there is any resurrection; and 
they asked him, 

28 Saying, Master, s Moses wrote 
unto us, If any man's brother die, 
having a wife, and he die without 
children, that his brother should 
take his wife, and raise up seed 
unto his brother. 

29 There were therefore seven 
brethren: and the first took a wife, 
and died without children. 

30 And the second took her to 
wife, and he died childless. 

31 And the third took her; and 
in like manner the seven also: 
and they left no children, and 
died. 

32 Last of all the woman died 
also. 

33 Therefore in the resurrection 
whose wife of them is she? for seven 
had her to wife. 

34 And Jesus answering said 
unto them, The children *of this 
world marry, and are given in 
marriage: 

35 But they which shall be t ac- 
counted worthy to obtain that 
world, and the resurrection from 
the dead, neitber marry, nor are 
given in marriage: 

36 Neither can they die any more: 
for they u are equal unto the 
angels; and are the children of 
God, v being the children of the 
resurrection. 

37 Now, that the dead are raised, 
even w Moses showed at the bush, 
when he calleth the Lord the God 
of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, 
and the God of Jacob. 

38 For x he is not a God of the 
dead, but of the living: for y all 
live unto him. 

39 Then certain of the scribes 



Christ foretells 



answering said, Master, thou hast 
well said. 

40 And after that they durst not 
ask him any question at all. 

41 % And he said unto them, 
How z say they that Christ is 
David's son? 

42 And David himself saith in 
the hook of Psalms, "The Lord 
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on 
my right hand, 

43 Till I make thine enemies thy 
footstool. 

44 David therefore calleth him 
Lord, how is he then his son? 

45 ^ Then, b in the audience of 
all the people, he said unto his 
disciples, 

46 Beware c of the scribes, which 
desire to walk in long robes, d and 
love greetings in the markets, and 
the highest seats in the synagogues, 
and the chief rooms at feasts; 

47 Which e devour widows' houses, 
and for a show make long prayers: 
the same shall receive greater 
damnation. 

CHAPTER XXL 

1 Christ commendeth the poor widow. 5 
He foretelleth the destruction of the 
temple, and of the city of Jerusalem: 
25 the signs also which shall be before the 
last day, etc. 

AND he looked up, ° and saw 
the rich men casting their gifts 
into the treasury. 

2 And he saw also a certain poor 
widow casting in thither two 
mites. 

3 And he said, Of a truth I say 
unto you, that b this poor widow 
hath cast in more than they 
all: 

4 For all these have of their 
abundance cast in unto the offer- 
ings of God: but she of her penury 
hath cast in all the living that she 
had. 

5 fl And c as some spake of the 
temple, how it was adorned with 
goodly stones and gifts, he said, 

6 As for these things which ye 
behold, the days will come, in the 
which d there shall not be left one 
s.tone upon another, that shall not 
be thrown down. 

7 And they asked him, saying, 
Master, but when shall these 
things be? and what sign will there 
be when these things shall come to

9 But when ye shall hear of wars 
and commotions, be not terrified : 
for these things must first come to 
pass; but the end is not by and 
by. 

10 > Then / said he unto them, 
Nation shall rise against nation, 
and kingdom against kingdom : 

11 And great earthquakes shall 
be in divers places, and famines, 
and pestilences; and fearful sights 
and great signs shall there be from 
heaven. 

12 But b before aU these, they 
shall lay their hands on you, and 
persecute you, delivering you up to 
the synagogues, and into h prisons, 
being ^brought before kings and 
rulers * for my name's sake. 

13 And k it shall turn to you for a 
testimony. 

14 Settle l it therefore in your 
hearts, not to meditate before 
what ye shall answer: 

15 For I will give you a mouth 
and wisdom, m which all your ad- 
versaries shall not be able to gain- 
say nor resist. 

16 And •' ye shall be betrayed 
both by parents, and brethren, 
and kinsfolks, and friends; ° and 
some of you shall they cause to be 
put to death. 

17 And p ye shall be hated of all 
men for my name's sake. 

18 But there shall not an hair of 
your head perish. 

19 In your patience possess ye 
your souls. 

20 And q when ye shall see Jeru- 
salem compassed with armies, 
then know that the desolation 
thereof is nigh. 

21 Then let them which are in 
Judea flee to the mountains; and 
let them which are in the midst 
of it depart out; and let not them 
that are in the countries enter 
thereinto. 

22 For these be the days of ven- 
geance, that r all things which 
are written may be fulfilled. 

23 But woe unto them that are 
with child, and to them that give 
suck, in those days! for there shall 
be great distress in the land, and 
wrath upon this people. 

24 And they shall fall by the 
edge of the sword, and shall be 
led away captive into all nations: 
and Jerusalem shall be trodden 
down of the Gentiles, * until- the 
times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 % And 'there shall be signs in 
the sun, and in the moon, and in 
the stars; and upon the earth dis- 
tress of nations, with perplexity; 
the sea and the waves roaring; 

26 Men's hearts failing them for

things which are coming on the 
earth: u for the powers of heaven

27 And then shall they see the

all the trees;

ye see and know of your own 
selves that summer is now nigh 
at hand. 

31 So likewise ye, when ye see

2 And 6 the chief priests and 
scribes sought how they might kill 
him; for they feared the people. 

3 f Then c entered Satan into 
Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of 
the number of the twelve. 

4 And he went his way, and com- 
muned with the chief priests and 
captains, how he might betray him 
unto them. 

5 And they were glad, and d cov- 
enanted to give him money. 

6 And he promised, and sought 
opportunity to betray him unto 
them l in the absence of the mul- 
titude. 

7 % Then 6 came the day of un- 
leavened bread, when the passover 
must be killed. 

8 And he sent Peter and John, 
saying, Go and prepare us the 
passover, that we may eat. 

9 And they said unto him, Where 
wilt thou that we prepare? 

10 And he said unto them, Be- 
hold, when ye are entered into the 
city, there shall a man meet you, 
bearing a pitcher of water; follow 
him into the house where he en- 
tereth in. 

11 And ye shall say unto the 
goodman of the house, The Mas- 
ter saith unto thee, Where is the 
guest-chamber, where I shall eat 
the passover with my disciples? 

12 And he shall show you a large 
upper room furnished: there make 
ready. 

13 And they went, and found as 
he had said unto them : and they 
made ready the passover. 

14 And when the hour was come, 
he sat down, and the twelve apos- 
tles with him. 

15 And he said unto them, 2 With 
desire I have desired to eat this 
passover with you before I suffer: 

16 For I say unto you, I will not 
any more eat thereof, /until it 
be fulfilled in the kingdom of

22 And truly the Son of man 
goeth, as h it was determined: but 
woe unto that man by whom he

23 And they began to enquire 
among themselves, which of them 
it was that should do this thing. 

24 \ And l there was also a strife 
among them, which of them should 
be accounted the greatest. 

25 And m he said unto them, The 
kings of the Gentiles exercise lord- 
ship over them; and they that 
exercise authority upon them are 
called benefactors. 

26 But n ye shall not be so: ° but 
he that is greatest among you, let 
him be as the younger; and he 
that is chief, as he that doth 
serve. 

27 For whether is greater, he

serveth? is not he that sitteth at 
meat? but p I am among you as he 
that serveth. 

28 Ye are they which have con-

brethren. 

33 And he said unto him, Lord,

into prison, and to death. 

34 And y he said, I tell thee, 
Peter, the cock shall not crow this 
day, before that thou shalt thrice

37 For I say unto you, that this 
that is written must yet be accom- 
plished in me, And a he was 
reckoned among the transgressors: 
for the things concerning me have 
an end. 

38 And they said, Lord, behold, 
here are two swords. And he said 
unto them, It is enough. 

39 ^ And he came out, and went, 
as he was wont, to the mount of 
Olives; and his disciples also fol- 
lowed him. 

40 And 6 when he was at the 
place, he said unto them, Pray that 
ye enter not into temptation. 

41 And he was withdrawn from 
them about a stone's cast, and 
kneeled down, and prayed, 

42 Saying, Father, if thou be 
3 willing, remove this cup from me: 
nevertheless c not my will, but 
thine, be done. 

43 And there appeared d an angel 
unto him from heaven, strengthen- 
ing him. 

44 And e being in an agony he 
prayed more earnestly: and his 
sweat was as it were great drops 
of blood falling down to the 
ground. 

45 And when he rose up from 
prayer, and was come to his dis- 
ciples, he found them sleeping for 
sorrow, 

46 And said unto them, Why 
sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye 
enter into temptation. 

47 f And while he yet spake, be- 
hold a multitude, and he that was 
called Judas, one of the twelve, 
went before them, and drew near 
unto Jesus /to kiss him. 

48 But Jesus said unto him, 
Judas, betrayest thou the Son of 
man with a kiss? 

49 When they which were about 
him saw what would follow, they 
said unto him, Lord, shall we 
smite with the sword? 

50 % And g one of them smote a 
servant of the high priest, and cut 
off his right ear. 

51 And Jesus answered and said. 
Suffer ye thus far. And he touched 
his ear, and healed him. 

52 Then Jesus said unto the 
chief priests, and captains of the 
temple, and the elders, which were 
come to him, Be ye come out, as 
against a thief, with swords and 
staves? 

53 When I was daily with you in 
the temple, ye stretched forth no 
hands against me: A bnt this is

54 f Then i took they him, and 
led him, and brought him into the 
high priest's house, ? And Peter 
followed afar off. 

55 And k when they had kindled 
a fire in the midst of the hall, and 
were set down together, Peter sat 
down among them. 

56 But a certain maid beheld 
him as he sat by the fire, and 
earnestly looked upon him, and 
said, This man was also with 
him. 

57 And he denied him, saying, 
"Woman, I know him not. 

58 And, 'after a little while, 
another saw him, and said, Thou 
art also of them. And Peter said, 
Man, I am not. 

59 And about the space of one 
hour after, another confidently 
affirmed, saying. Of a truth this 
fellow also was with him; for he is 
a Galilean. 

60 And Peter said, Man, I know 
not what thou sayest. And im- 
mediately, while he yet spake, the 
cock crew. 

61 And the Lord tinned, and 
looked upon Peter. m And Peter 
remembered the word of the Lord, 
how he had said unto him, Before 
the n cock crow, thou shalt deny 
me thrice. 

62 And Peter went out, and 
wept ° bitterly. 

63 «[ And * the men that held 
Jesus mocked him, and smote 
him. 

64 And when they had blind- 
folded him, they struck him on 
the face, and asked him, saying, 
Prophesy, who is it that smote 
thee? 

65 And many other things blas- 
phemously spake they against 

66 % And q as soon as it was day, 
the r elders of the people, and the 
chief priests, and the scribes, came 
together, and led him into then- 
council, 

67 Saying, Art s thou the Christ? 
tell us. And he said unto them, If 
I tell you, ye will not believe: 

68 And if I also ask you, ye will 
not answer me, nor let me go. 

69 Hereafter * shall the Son of 
man sit on the right hand of the 
power of God. 

70 Then said they all, Art thou 
then the Son of God? And he 
said unto them, Te say that I am.

1 Jesus is accused before Pilate, 1 and 
sent to Herod.: 11 Tie is mocked, and sent 
back to Pilate: 25 he is delivered to be 
crucified, 34 prayethfor his enemies, etc. 

A KD a the whole multitude of 
-ijl them arose, and led him unto 
Pilate. 

2 And they began to accuse him f 
saying, We found this fellow 6 per- 
verting the nation, and c forbid- 
ding to give tribute to Cesar, 
saying d that he himself is Christ 
a king. 

3 And e Pilate asked him, saying. 
Art thou the King of the Jews? 
And he answered him. and said, 
Thou sayest it. 

4 Then said Pilate to the chief 
priests and to the people, / 1 find 
no fault in this man. 

5 And they were the more fierce, 
Sajing, He stirreth up the people, 
teaching throughout all Jewry, 
beghining from Galilee to this 
place. 

6 Y\Tien Pilate heard of Galilee, 
he asked whether the man were a 
Galilean. 

7 And as soon as he knew that 
he belonged unto g Herod's juris- 
diction, he sent hhn to Herod, who 
himself also was at Jerusalem at 
that time. 

8 % And when Herod saw Jesus, 
he was exceeding glad : for h he 
was desirous to see him of a long 
season, because ' he had neard 
many things of him; and he hoped 
to have seen some miracle done 
by him. 

9 Then he questioned with him 
in many words; but he answered 
him nothing. 

10 And the chief priests and 
scribes stood and vehemently ac- 
cused him. 

11 And i Herod with his men of 
war set bim at nought, and mocked 
him, and arrayed him in a gor- 
geous robe, and sent him again to 
Pilate. 

12 ^ And the "same day S Pilate 
and Herod were made friends 
together : for before they were at 
enmity between themselves. 

13 | And * Pilate, when he had 
called together the chief priests 
and the rulers and the people, 

14 Said unto them, Ye have 
brought this man unto me, as one

and crucified. 



that perverteth the people: and, 
behold, I, having examined him 
before you, have - found no fault 
in this man touching those things 
whereof ye accuse him: 

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent 
you to him; and, lo, nothing 
worthy of death is done unto him. 

16 I n will therefore chastise him, 
and release him. 

17 (For ° of necessity he must re- 
lease one unto them at the feast.) 

18 And p they cried out all at 
once, saying, Away with this man, 
and release unto us Barabbas : 

19 (Who for a certain sedition 
made in the city, and for murder, 
was cast into prison.) 

20 Pilate therefore, willing to re- 
lease Jesus, spake again to them. 

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify 
him, crucify him. 

22 And he said unto them the 
third time, Why, what evil hath 
he done? I have found no cause of 
death in him: I will therefore 
chastise him, and let him go. 

23 And they were instant with 
loud voices, requiring that he 
might be crucified: and the voices 
of them and of the chief priests 
prevailed. 

24 And Pilate *gave sentence 
that it should be as they required. 

25 And q he released unto them 
him that for sedition and murder 
was cast into prison, whom they 
had desired; but he delivered 
Jesus to their will. 

26 ^ And r as they led him away, 
they laid hold upon one Simon, 
a Cyrenian, coming out of the 
country, and on him they laid the 
cross, that he might bear it after 
Jesus. 

27 And there followed him a 
great company of people, and of 
women, which also bewailed and 
lamented him. 

28 But Jesus, turning unto them, 
said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep 
not for me, but weep for yourselves, 
and for your children. 

29 For, 'behold, the days are 
coming, in the which they shall 
say, Blessed are the barren, and the 
wombs that never bare, and the 
paps which never gave suck. 

30 Then* shall they begin to say 
to the mountains, Fall on us; and 
to the hills, Cover us.

in a green tree, what shall be done 
in the dry?

others, malefactors, led with him 
to be put to death. 

33 And w when they were come 
to the place which is called 2 Cal- 
vary, there they crucified him, and 
the malefactors, one on the right 
hand, and the other on the left. 

34 Then said Jesus, Father, x for- 
give them; for y they know not 
what they do. And they parted 
his raiment, and cast lots. 

35 And "the people stood be- 
holding. And the rulers also with 
them derided him, saying, He saved 
others; let him. save himself, if he 
be Christ, the chosen of God. 

36 And the soldiers also mocked 
him, coming to him, and offering 
him vinegar, 

37 And saying, If thou be the 
King of the Jews, save thyself. 

38 And 6 a superscription also 
was written over him in letters of 
Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, 
THIS IS THE KING OF THE 
JEWS. 

39 ^ And c one of the malefactors 
which were hanged railed on him, 
saying, If thou be Christ, save thy- 
self and us. 

40 But the other answering d re- 
buked him, saying. Dost not thou 
fear God, seeing thou art in the 
same condemnation ? 

41 And we indeed justly; for we 
receive the due reward of our 
deeds: but tliis man hath done 
nothing amiss. 

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, 
remember me when thou comest 
into 6 thy kingdom. 

43 And Jesus said unto him, 
Verily I say unto thee, To-day 
shalt thou be with me in •''paradise. 

44 ^ And 9 it was about the sixth 
hour, and there was a darkness 
over all the 3 earth until the ninth 
hour. 

45 And the sun was darkened, 
and h the veil of the temple was 
rent in the midst. 

46 And when Jesus had cried 
with a loud voice,he said, * Father, 
into thy hands I commend my 
spirit: i and having said thus, he 
gave up the ghost. 

47 \ Now *when the centurion 
saw what was done, he glorified 
God, saying, Certainly this was a 
righteous man. 

48 And "all the people that came 
together to that sight, beholding 
the things which were done, smote 
their breasts, and returned.

50 % And, ""behold, there was a 
man named Joseph, a counsellor; 
and he was a good man, and a just: 

51 (The same n had not consented 
to the counsel and deed of them:) 
he was of Arimathea, a city of the 
Jews: "who also himself waited 
for the kingdom of God. 

52 This man went unto Pilate, 
and begged the body of Jesus. 

53 And p he took it down, and 
wrapped it in linen, and laid it 
in q a sepulchre that was hewn in 
stone, wherein never man before 
was laid. 

54 And that day was the prepar- 
ation, and the sabbath drew on. 

55 f And the women also, r which 
came with him from Galilee, fol- 
lowed after, and beheld s the sepul- 
chre, and how his body was laid. 

56 And they returned, and * pre- 
pared spices and ointments; and 
rested the sabbath day, u accord- 
ing to the commandment.

VfOW a upon the first day of the 
JJN week, very early in the morn- 
ing, they came unto the sepulchre, 
bringing the 6 spices which they 
had prepared, and certain others 
with them. 

2 And they found the stone 
rolled away from the sepulchre. 

3 And c they entered in, and 
found not the body of the Lord 
Jesus. 

4 And it came to pass, as they 
were much perplexed thereabout, 
behold, d two men stood by them 
in shining garments: 

5 And as they were afraid, and 
bowed down their faces to the 
earth, they said unto them, Why 
seek ye 1 the living among the 
dead? 

6 He is not here, but is risen: 
remember e how he spake unto 
you when he was yet in Galilee, 

7 Saying, The Son of man must 
be delivered into the hands of sin- 
ful men, and be crucified, and the 
third day rise again.

words,

were with them, which told these 
things unto the apostles. 

11 And their words seemed to 
them as idle tales, and they be- 
lieved them not. 

12 Then * arose Peter, and ran 
unto the sepulchre; and stooping 
down, he beheld the linen clothes 
laid by themselves, and departed, 
wondering in himself at that 
which was come to pass. 

13 % And, behold, two of them 
went that same day to a village 
called Emmaus, which was from 
Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 

14 And they i talked together of 
all these things which had hap- 
pened. 

15 And it came to pass, that, 
while they communed together and 
reasoned, h Jesus himself drew 
near, and went with them. 

16 But l their eyes were holden 
that they should not know him. 

17 And he said unto them, What 
manner of communications are 
these that ye have one to another, 
as ye walk, and are sad? 

18 And the one of them, m whose 
name was Cleopas, answering said 
unto him, Art thou only a stranger 
in Jerusalem, and hast not known 
the things which are come to pass 
there in these days? 

19 And he said unto them, What 
things? And they said unto him, 
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, 
which n was a prophet ° mighty in 
deed and word before God and all 
the people: 

20 And ^how the chief priests 
and our rulers delivered him to be 
condemned to death, and have 
crucified hhn. 

21 But we trusted 9 that it had 
been he which should have re- 
deemed Israel: and besides all this, 
to-day is the third day since these 
things were done. 

22 Yea, and certain women also 
of our company made us aston- 
ished, which were early at the 
sepulchre; 

23 And when they found not his 
body, they came, saying, that they 
had also seen a vision of angels, 
which said that he was alive. 

24 And certain of them which 
were with us went to the sepul- 
chre, and found it even so as the 
women had said: but him they 
saw not. 

25 Then he said unto them, O 
fools, and slow of heart to believe 
all that the prophets have spoken!

LUKE, XXXV.

26 Ought r not Christ to have 
suffered these things, and to enter 
into his glory? 

27 And beginning at s Moses and 
all the * Prophets, he expounded 
unto them in all the Scriptures 
the things concerning himself. 

28 And they drew nigh unto the 
village whither they went: and u he 
made as though he would have 
gone farther. 

29 But they constrained him, 
saying, Abide with us; for it is to- 
ward evening, and the day is far 
spent. And he went in to tarry 
with them. 

30 And it came to pass, as he sat 
at meat with them, he took bread, 
and blessed it, and brake, and gave 
to them. 

31 And their eyes were opened, 
and they knew him; and he 2 van- 
ished out of their sight. 

32 And they said one to another, 
Did not our heartburn within us, 
while he talked with us by the 
way, and while he opened to us 
the Scriptures? 

33 And they rose up the same 
horn*, and returned to Jerusalem, 
and found the eleven gathered to- 
gether, and them that were with 
them, 

34 Saying, The Lord is risen in- 
deed, and hath "appeared to 
Simon. 

35 And they told what things 
were done in the way, and how he 
was known of them in breaking 
of bread. 

36 % And as they thus spake, 
Jesus himself stood in the midst of 
them, and saith unto them, Peace 
be unto you. 

37 But they were terrified and 
affrighted, and supposed that they 
had seen a spirit. 

38 And he said unto them, Why 
are ye troubled? and why do 
thoughts arise in your hearts?

40 And when he had thus spoken, 
he showed them his hands and his 
feet. 

41 And while they yet believed 
not for joy, and wondered, he said 
unto them, Have ye here any 
meat? 

42 And they gave him a piece of a 
broiled fish, and of an honey-comb. 

43 And w he took it, and did eat 
before them. 

44 And he said unto them, x These 
are the words which I spake unto 
you, while I was yet with you, 
that all things must be fulfilled 
which were written in the law of 
Moses, and in the Prophets, and in 
the Psalms, concerning me. 

45 Then y opened he their under- 
standing, that they might under- 
stand the Scriptures, 

46 And said unto them, Thus it 
is written, and thus it behoved 
Christ to suffer, and to rise from 
the dead the third day: 

47 And that repentance and z re- 
mission of sins should be preached 
in his name among ° all nations, 
beginning at Jerusalem. 

48 And ye are witnesses of these 
things. 

49 % And, 6 behold, I send the 
promise of my Father upon you: 
but tarry ye in the city Of Jeru- 
salem, until ye be endued with 
power from on high. 

50 % And he led them out as far 
as to Bethany; and he lifted up his 
hands, and blessed them. 

51 And c it came to pass, while he 
blessed them, he was parted from 
them, and carried up into heaven. 

52 And they worshipped him, and 
returned to Jerusalem with great 
joy: 

53 And were continually 6 in the 
temple, praising and blessing God. 
Amen.

The divinity of the Word. 



JOHN, I. John the Baptist'. 



of Christ. 



6 ^ There 6 was a man sent from 
God, whose name was John. 

7 The same came for a witness, 
to bear witness of the Light, that 
all men through him might be- 
lieve. 

8 He /was not that Light, but 
was sent to bear witness of that 
Light. 

9 That 9 was the true Light, which 
lighteth every man that cometh 
into the world. 

10 He was in the world, and h the 
world was made by him, and the 
world knew him not. 

11 He * came unto his own, and 
his own received him not. 

12 But-? as many as received him, 
to them gave he x power to become 
the sons of God, even to them that 
believe on his name: 

13 Which were born, not of blood, 
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of 
the will of man, k but of God. 

14 And l the Word m was made 
n flesh, and dwelt among us, (and 
we ° beheld his glory, the glory as 
of the only begotten of the Father,) 
full p of grace and truth. 

15 fl John bare witness of him, 
and cried, saying, This was he of 
whom I spake, He that cometh 
after me is preferred before me: 
for q he was before me. 

16 And of his r fulness have all 
we received, and grace for grace. 

17 For the s Law was given by 
Moses, * but grace and "truth came 
by Jesus Christ. 

18 No * man hath seen God at 
any time; the w only begotten Son, 
which is in x the bosom of the Fa- 
ther, he hath declared him. 

19 ^f And this is the record of 
John, when the Jews sent priests 
and Levites from Jerusalem to ask 
him, Who art thou? 

20 And he confessed, and denied 
not; but confessed, I am not the 
Christ. 

21 And they asked him, What 
then? Ait thou y Elias? And he 
saith, z I am not. Art thou 2 that 
prophet ? And he answered, No. 

22 Then said they unto him, 
Who art thou? that we may 
give an answer to them that 
sent us. What sayest thou of 
thyself? 

23 He said, I am the voice of one 
crying in the wilderness, Make 
straight the way of the Lord, as 
said a the prophet Esaias. 

24 And they which were sent 
were of the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him, and 
said unto him, Why baptizest

Christ, nor Elias, neither that 
prophet? 

26 John answered them, saying, 
I baptize with water: 6 but there 
standeth one among you, whom 
ye know not; 

27 He it is, who coming after me, 
is preferred before me, whose 
shoe's latchet I am not worthy to 
unloose. 

- 28 These things were done in 
Bethabara beyond Jordan, where 
John was baptizing. 

29 *[[ The next day John seeth 
Jesus coming unto him^and saith, 
Behold c the Lamb of God, d which 
3 taketh away the sin of the 
world ! 

30 This is he of whom I said, 
After me cometh a man which is 
preferred before me: for he was 
before me. 

31 And I knew him not: but that 
he should be made manifest to 
Israel, therefore am I come bap- 
tizing with water. 

32 And John bare record, saying, 
I saw the Spirit descending from 
heaven like a dove, and it abode 
upon him. 

33 And I knew him not: but he 
that sent me to baptize with 
water, the same said unto me, 
Upon whom thou shalt see the 
Spirit descending, and remaining 
on him, the e same is he which 
baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 

34 And I saw, and bare record 
that this is the Son of God. 

35 ^f Again, the next day after, 
John stood, and two of his dis- 
ciples; 

36 And looking upon Jesus as he 
walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb 
of God! 

37 And the two disciples heard 
him speak, and they followed 
Jesus. 

38 Then Jesus turned, and saw 
them following, and saith unto 
them, What seek ye? They said 
unto him, Babbi, (which is to say, 
being interpreted, Master,) where 
* dwellest thou? 

39 He saith unto them, Come 
and see. They came and saw 
where he dwelt, and abode with 
him that day: for it was 5 about 
the tenth hour. 

40 One of the two which heard 
John speak, and followed him, was 
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 



Andrew and Peter called. 



JOHN, n.

41 He first findeth his own 
brother /Simon, and saith unto 
him, We have found the Messias, 
which is, being interpreted, 6 the 
Christ. 

42 And he brought him to Jesus. 
And when Jesus beheld him, he 
said, Thou art Simon the son of 
Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, 
which is, by interpretation, 7 A 
stone. 

43 % The day following Jesus 
would go forth into Galilee, and 
findeth Philip, and saith unto 
him, Follow me. 

44 Now 9 Philip was of Bethsaida, 
the city of Andrew and Peter. 

45 Philip findeth h Nathanael, and 
saith unto him, "We have found 
him of whom Moses * in the Law, 
and the i Prophets, did write, 
Jesus of Nazareth the son of 
Joseph. 

46 And Nathanael said unto him, 
Can there any good thing come 
out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto 
him, Come and see. 

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming 
to him, and saith of him, Behold 
an Israelite indeed, in whom is no 
guile! 

48 Nathanael saith unto him, 
Whence kno west thou me? Jesus 
answered and said unto him, Be- 
fore that Philip called thee, when 
thou wast under the fig tree, I saw 
thee. 

49 Nathanael answered and saith 
unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son 
of God; thou art the *King of 
Israel. 

50 Jesus answered and said unto 
him, Because I said unto thee, I 
saw thee under the fig tree, be- 
lievest thou? thou shalt see greater 
things than these. 

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, l Hereafter 
ye shall see heaven open, and the 
angels of God ascending and de- 
scending upon m the Son of man.

what 6 have I to do with thee? 
mine c hour is not yet come. 

5 His mother saith unto the ser- 
vants, Whatsoever he saith unto 
you, do it. 

6 And there were set there six 
water-pots of stone, d after the 
manner of the purifying of the 
Jews, containing two or three 
firkins apiece. 

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the 
water-pots with water. And they 
filled them up to the brim. 

8 And he saith unto them, Draw 
out now, and bear unto the gover- 
nor of the feast. And they bare 
it. 

9 When the ruler of the feast had 
tasted the 6 water that was made 
wine, and knew not whence it 
was, (but the servants which drew 
the water knew,) the governor of 
the feast called the bridegroom, 

10 And saith unto him, Every 
man at the beginning doth set 
forth good wine; and when men 
have well drunk, then that which 
is worse: but thou hast kept the 
good wine until now. 

11 This beginning of miracles did 
Jesus in /Cana of Galilee, ^and 
manifested forth his glory; and his 
disciples believed on him. 

12 f After this he went down to 
Capernaum, he, and his mother, 
and ; 'his brethren, and his disciples: 
and they continued there not many 
days. 

13 ^[ And * the Jews' passover was 
at hand; and Jesus went up to 
Jerusalem, 

14 And 3 found in the temple 
those that sold oxen and sheep and 
doves, and the changers of money 
sitting: 

15 And when he had made a 
scourge of small cords, he drove 
them all out of the temple, and the 
sheep, and the oxen; and poured 
out the changers' money, and over- 
threw the tables; 

16 And said unto them that sold 
doves, Take these things hence; 
make k not my Father's house an 
house of merchandise. 

17 And his disciples remembered 
that it was written, l The zeal of 
thine house hath eaten me up. 

18 f Then answered the Jews and 
said unto him, What sign showest 
thou unto us, seeing that thou doest 
these things? 

19 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, Destroy m this temple, and 
in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and 
six years was this temple in build- 
ing, and wilt thou rear it up in 
three days? 

21 But he spake n of the temple 
of his body. 

22 When therefore he was risen 
from the dead, ° his disciples re- 
membered that be had said this 
unto them; and they believed the 
Scripture, and the word which 
Jesus had said. 

23 ^[ Now when he was in Jeru- 
salem at the passover, in the feast 
day, many believed in his name, 
when they saw the miracles which 
he did. 

24 But Jesus did not commit 
himself unto them, because he 
knew all men, 

25 And needed not that any 
should testify of man: for p he 
knew what was in man. 

CHAPTER IIL 
1 Christ teacheth Nicodemus the necessity 
of regeneration, 23 The baptism and 
witness of John concerning Christ. 

THERE was a man of the Pha- 
risees, named Nicodemus, a 
ruler of the Jews : 

2 The same came to Jesus by 
night, and said unto him, Rabbi, 
we know that thou art a teacher 
come from God : for a no man can 
do these miracles that thou doest, 
except 6 God be with him. 

3 Jesus answered and said unto 
him, Verily, verily, I say unto 
thee, c Except a man be born 
1 again, he cannot see the king- 
dom of God. 

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 
How can a man be born when he 
is old? can he enter the second 
time into his mother's womb, and 
be born? 

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, 
I say unto thee, d Except a man 
be born of water and oft\xe Spirit, 
he cannot enter into the kingdom 
of God. 

6 That which is born of the flesh 
is flesh; and that which is born of 
the Spirit is spirit. 

7 Marvel not that I said unto 
thee, Ye must be born 2 again. 

8 The "wind bloweth where it 
listeth, and thou hearest the sound 
thereof, but canst not tell whence 
it cometh, and whither it goeth: 
so is every one that is born of the 
Spirit. 

9 Nicodemus answered and said 
unto him, / How can these things 
be?

10 Jesus answered and said unto 
him, Art thou a master of Israel, 
and knowest not these things? 

11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 
We speak that we do know, and 
testify that we have seen: and ye 
receive not our witness. 

12 If I have told you earthly 
things, and ye believe not, how 
shall ye believe, if I tell you of 
heavenly things? 

13 And 9 no man hath ascended 
up to heaven, but he that came 
down from heaven, even the Son 
of man which is in heaven. 

14 And A as Moses lifted up the 
serpent in the wilderness, even so 
must the Son of man be lifted 
up; 

15 That whosoever belie veth in 
him should not perish, but have 
eternal life. 

16 For * God so loved the world, 
that he gave his only begotten 
Son, that whosoever believeth in 
him should not perish, but have 
everlasting life. 

m 17 For i God sent not his Son 
into the world to condemn the 
world; but that the world through 
him might be saved. 

18 He that believeth on him k is 
not condemned : but he that be- 
lieveth not is condemned already, 
because he hath not believed in 
the name of the only begotten Son 
of God. 

19 And this is the condemnation, 
that l light is come into the world, 
and men loved darkness rather 
than light, because their deeds 
were evil 

20 For every one that doeth evil 
hateth the light, neither cometh 
to the light, lest his deeds should 
be 3 reproved. 

21 But he that doeth truth com- 
eth to the light, that his deeds 
may be made manifest, that they 
are wrought in God. 

22 f After these things came 
Jesus and his disciples into the 
land of Judea; and there he tarried 
with them, m and baptized. 

23 And John also was baptizing 
in iEnon near to n Salim, because 
there was much water there: and 
they came, and were baptized. 

24 For "John was not yet cast 
into prison. 

25 \ Then there arose a question 
between some of John's disciples 
and the Jews about purifying. 

26 And they came unto John, and 
said unto him, Rabbi, he that was

with thee beyond Jordan, p to whom 
thou barest witness, behold, the 
same baptizeth, and all men come 
to him. 

21 John answered and said, 2 A 
man can 4 receive nothing, except 
it be given him from heaven. 

28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, 
that I said, I am not the Christ, 
but r that I am sent before him. 

29 He s that hath the bride is the 
bridegroom: but f the friend of the 
bridegroom, which standeth and 
heareth him, rejoiceth greatly be- 
cause of the bridegroom's voice. 
This my joy therefore is fulfilled. 

30 He w must increase, but "I 
must decrease. 

31 He w that cometh from above 
is x above all: y he that is of the 
earth is earthly, and speaketh of 
the earth: *he that cometh from 
heaven is above all. 

32 And * what he hath seen and 
heard, that he testifieth; and no 
man receiveth his testimony. 

33 He that hath received his 
testimony hath 6 set to his seal that 
God is true. 

34 For e he whom God hath sent 
speaketh the words of God: for God 
giveth not the Spirit d by measure 
unto him. 

35 The e Father loveth the Son, 
and hath given all things into his 
hand. 

36 He /that belie veth on the Son

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Christ revealeth himself to a woman of 
Samaria: 31 his zeal for God's glory. 
39 Many Samaritans believe on him. 43 
Me healeth the ruler's son. 

WHEN therefore the Lord knew 
how the Pharisees had heard 
that Jesus made and baptized 
more disciples than John, 

2 (Though Jesus himself baptized 
not, but his disciples,) 

3 He left Judea, and departed 
again' into Galilee. 

4 And he must needs go through 
Samaria. 

5 Then cometh he to a city of 
Samaria, which is called Sychar, 
near to the parcel of ground "that 
Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 

6 Now Jacob's well was there. 
Jesus therefore, being wearied with 
his journey, sat thus on the well: 
and it was about the sixth hour. 

7 There cometh a woman of

Samaria to draw water: Jesus 
saith unto her, Give me to drink. 

8 (For his disciples were gone 
away unto the city to buy meat.) 

9 Then saith the woman of Sa- 
maria unto him, How is it that 
thou, being a Jew, askest drink of 
me, which am a woman of Sa- 
maria? for Hhe Jews have no 
dealings with the Samaritans. 

10 Jesus answered and said unto 
her, If thou knewest c the gift of 
God, and who it is that saith to 
thee, Give me to drink; thou 
wouldest have asked of him, and 
he would have given thee d living 
water. 

11 The woman saith unto him, 
Sir, thou hast nothing to draw 
with, and the well is deep : from 
whence then hast thou that living 
water? 

12 Art thou greater than our fa- 
ther Jacob, which gave us the well, 
and drank thereof himself, and 
his children, and his cattle? 

13 Jesus answered and said unto 
her, Whosoever drinketh of this 
water shall thirst again: 

14 But "whosoever drinketh of 
the water that I shall give him 
shall never thirst; but the water 
that I shall give him / shall be in 
him a well of water springing up 
into everlasting life. 

15 The 9 woman saith unto him, 
Sir, give me this water, that I 
thirst not, neither come hither to 
draw. 

16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call 
thy husband, and come hither. 

17 The woman answered and 
said, I have no husband. Jesus 
said unto her, Thou hast well said, 
I have no husband: 

18 For thou hast had five hus- 
bands; and he whom thou now 
hast is not thy husband : in that 
saidst thou truly. 

19 The woman saith unto him, 
Sir, h I perceive that thou art a 
prophet. 

20 Our fathers worshipped * in 
this mountain; and ye say, that 
in i Jerusalem is the place where 
men ought to worship. 

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, 
believe me, the hour cometh, 
when * ye shall neither in this 
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, 
worship the Father. 

22 Ye worship l ye know not 
what: we know what we worship: 
for m salvation is of the Jews. 

23 But the hour cometh, and now

JOHN, V.

is, when the true worshippers shall 
worship the Father in n spirit and 
in truth: for the Father seeketh 
such to worship him. 

24 God p is a Spirit : and they 
that worship him must worship 
Jam in spirit and in truth, 

25 The woman saith unto him, I 
laiow that q Messias cometh, which 
is called Christ: when he is come, 
he will tell us all things. 

26 Jesus saith unto her, r I that 
speak unto thee am he. 

27 1f And upon this came his 
disciples, and marvelled that he 
talked with the woman: yet no 
man said, What seekest thou? or, 
Why talkest thou with her? 

28 The woman then left her 
water-pot, and went her way into 
the city, and saith to the men, 

29 Come, see a man which told 
me all things that ever I did: is 
not this the Christ? 

30 Then they went out 
city, and came unto him. 

31 % In the meanwhile i 
ciples prayed him, saying, Master, 
eat. 

32 But he said unto them, I have 
meat to eat that ye know not of. 

33 Therefore said the disciples 
one to another, Hath any man 
brought him ought to eat? 

34 Jesus saith unto them, s My 
meat is to do the will of him that 
sent me, and to finish his work. 

35 Say not ye, There are yet four 
months, and then cometh harvest? 
behold, I say unto you, Lift up 
your eyes, and look on the fields; 
for * they are white already to har- 
vest. 

36 And he that reapeth u receiv- 
eth wages, and gathereth fruit 
unto life eternal; that both he 
that soweth and he that reapeth 
may rejoice together. 

37 And herein is that saying 
true, One soweth, and another 
reapeth. 

38 I sent you to reap that where- 
on ye bestowed no labour: v other 
men laboured, and ye are entered 
into their labours. 

39 1f And w many of the Samari- 
tans of that city believed on him 
for the saying of the Woman, 
which testified, He told me all that 
ever I did. 

40 So x when the Samaritans 
were come unto him, they be- 
sought him that he would tarry 
with them: and he abode there 
two days.

41 And y many more believed 
because of his own word; 

42 And said unto the woman, 
Now we believe, not because of 
thy saying ; for z we have heard 
him ourselves, and know that this 
is indeed the Christ, a the Saviour 
of the world. 

43 f Now after two days he 
departed thence, and went into 
Galilee. 

44 For 6 Jesus himself testified, 
that a prophet hath no honour in 
his own country. 

45 Then, when be was come into 
Galilee, the Galileans received 
him, c having seen all the things 
that he did at Jerusalem at the 
feast: d for they also went unto 
the feast. 

46 So Jesus came again into Cana 
of Galilee, 6 where he made the 
water wine. And there was a 
certain x nobleman, whose son was 
sick at Capernaum. 

47 When he heard that Jesus was 
come out of Judea into Galilee, he 
went unto him, and besought bi-m 
that he would come down, and 
heal his son: for he was at the 
point of death. 

48 Then said Jesus unto him, 
Except/ ye see signs and wonders, 
ye will not believe. 

49 The nobleman saith unto him, 
Sir, come down ere my child die. 

50 Jesus saith unto him, ° Go thy 
way; thy son liveth. And the 
man believed the word that Jesus 
had spoken unto him, and he went 
his way. 

51 And as he was now going 
down, his servants met him, and 
told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 

52 Then enquired he of them the 
hour when he began to amend. 
And they said unto him, Yester- 
day at the seventh hour the fever 
left him. 

53 So the father knew that it was 
at the same hour in the which 
Jesus said unto him, Thy son liv- 
eth; and A himself believed, and 
his whole house. 

54 This is again the second mir- 
acle that Jesus did, when he was 
come out of Judea into Galilee. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Jesus, on the sabbath day, cureth an 
impotent man at the pool o£ Bethesda: 
16 The Jews persecute him for it: 17 he 
justifieth himself, 

AFTER ° this there was a feast 
of the Jews; and Jesus went 
up to Jerusalem. 



The impotent man at Bethesda. 



JOHN, Y. 



Christ declares himself to the Jews, 



2 Now there is at Jerusalem, 6 by 
the sheep L market, a pool, which 
is called in the Hebrew tongue 
2 Bethesda, having five porches. 

3 In these lay a great multitude 
of impotent folk, of blind, halt, 
withered, waiting for the moving 
of the water. 

4 For an angel went down at a 
certain season into the pool, and 
troubled the water: whosoever 
then first after the troubling of 
the water stepped in was made 
whole of whatsoever disease he 
had. 

5 And a certain man was there, 
which had an infirmity thirty and 
eight years. 

6 When Jesus saw him he, c and 
knew that he had been now a 
long time in that case, he saith 
unto him, d Wilt thou be made 
whole? 

7 The impotent man answered 
him, Sir, I have no man, when 
the water is troubled, to put me 
into the pool: but while I am 
coming, another steppeth down 
before me. 

8 Jesus saith unto him, 6 Eise, 
take up thy bed, and walk. 

9 And immediately the man was 
made whole, and took up his bed, 
and walked: and on /the same 
day was the sabbath. 

10 ^f The Jews therefore said unto 
him that was cured, It is the sab- 
bath day: ? it is not lawful for thee 
to carry thy bed. 

11 He answered them, He that 
made me whole, the same said 
unto me, Take up thy bed, and 
walk. 

12 Then asked they him, What 
man is that which said unto thee, 
Take up thy bed, and walk? 

13 And he that was healed wist 
not who it was; for Jesus had con- 
veyed himself away, 3 a multitude 
being in that place. 

_ 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him 
in h the temple, and said unto him, 
Behold, thou art made whole: *sm 
no more, lest a worse thing come 
unto thee. 

15 The man departed, and told 
the Jews that it was Jesus which 
had made him whole. 

16 And therefore did the Jews 
persecute Jesus, and sought to slay 
him, because he had done these 
things on the sabbath day. 

17 f But Jesus answered them, 
My J Father worketh hitherto, and 
1 work.

18 Therefore the Jews * sought 
the more to kill him, because he 
not only had broken the sabbath, 
but said also that God was his 
Father, l making himself equal 
with God. 

19 1f Then answered Jesus and 
said unto them, Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, m The Son can do 
nothing of himself, but what he 
seeth the Father do: for what 
things soever he doeth, these also 
doeth the Son likewise. 

20 For "the Father loveth the 
Son, and showeth him all things 
that himself doeth: and he will 
show him greater works than these, 
that ye may marvel. 

21 For as the Father raiseth up 
the dead, and quickeneth them; 
even °so the Son quickeneth whom 
he will. 

22 For the Father judgeth no 
m?n. but hath ^committed all 

nt unto the Son; 

at all men should q honour 

a, even as they honour the 

Father. He that honoureth not 

the Son honoureth not the Father 

which hath sent him. 

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
He that heareth my word, and be- 
lieveth on him that sent me, hath 
everlasting life, and shall not 
come into condemnation; r but is 
passed from death unto life. 

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
The hour is coming, and now is, 
when s the dead shall hear the 
voice of the Son of God: and they 
that hear shall live. 

26 For as the Father hath 'life in 
himself, so hath he given to the 
Son to have life in himself; 

27 And hath given him author- 
ity to execute judgment also, u be- 
cause he is the Son of man. 

28 Marvel not at this: for the 
hour is coming, in the which all 
that are in the graves shall hear 
his voice, 

29 And " shall come forth; "they 
that have done good, unto the re- 
surrection of life; and they that 
have done evil, unto the resurrec- 
tion of damnation. 

30 1 can of mine own self do no- 
thing: as I hear, I judge: and my 
judgment is just; because x I seek 
not mine own will, but the will of 
the Father which hath sent me. 

31 If y I bear witness of myself, 
my witness is not true. 

32 There is another that beareth 
witness of me; and 1 know that 



Christ proves his autlvority. 



JOHN, VI 



He feedeth jive thousand men. 



the witness which he witnesseth 
of me is true. 

33 Ye sent unto John, ' and he 
bare witness unto the truth. 

34 But I receive not testimony 
from man: but these things I say, 
that ye might be saved. 

35 He was a burning and a a 
shining light: and h ye were willing 
for a season to rejoice in his light. 

36 But C I have greater witness 
than that of John: for d the works 
which the Father hath given me 
to finish, the same works that I 
do, bear witness of me, that the 
Father hath sent me. 

37 And the Father himself, which 
hath sent me, 'hath borne witness 
of me. Ye have neither heard his 
voice at any time, nor /seen his 



38 And ye have not his word 
abiding in you: for whom he hath 
sent, him ye believe not. 

39 Search 9 the Scriptures; for in 
them ye think ye have eternal 
life: and h they are they which tes- 
tify of me. 

40 And ye will not come to me, 
that ye might have life. 

41 I * receive not honour from 
men. 

42 But I know you, that ye have 
not the love of God in you. 

43 I am come in my Father's 
name, and ye receive me not: if 
another shall come in his own 
name, him ye will receive. 

44 How can ye believe, which 
receive honour one of another, 
and seek not ^'the honour that 
cometh from God only? 

45 Do not think that I will accuse 
you to the Father: * there is one 
that accuseth you, even Moses, in 
whom ye trust. 

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye 
would have believed me: l for he 
wrote of me. 

47 But if m ye believe not his 
writings, how shall ye believe my 
words?

mountain, and there he sat with 
his disciples. 

4 And ''the passover, a feast of 
the Jews, was nigh. 

5 When c Jesus then lifted up his 
eyes, and saw a great company 
come unto him, he saith unto 
Philip, Whence shall we buy 
bread, that these may eat? 

6 (And this he said to prove him: 
for he himself knew what he would 
do.) 

7 Philip answered him, d Two 
hundred penny. worth of bread is 
not sufficient for them, that every 
one of them may take a little. 

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, 
Simon Peter's brother, saith unto 
him, 

9 There is a lad here, which hath 
five barley loaves, and two small 
fishes: e but what are they among 
so many? 

10 And Jesus said, Make the men 
sit down. Now there was much 
grass in the place. So the men 
sat down, in number about five 
thousand. 

11 And Jesus took the loaves; 
and when he had /given thanks, 
he distributed to the disciples, and 
the disciples to them that were 
set down; and likewise of the 
fishes as much as they would. 

12 When they were filled, he said 
unto his disciples, Gather up the 
fragments that remain, that no- 
thing be lost. n 

13 Therefore they gathered tJiem 
together, and filled twelve baskets 
with the fragments of the five bar- 
ley loaves, which remained over 
and above unto them that had 
eaten. 

14 Tf Then those men, when they 
had seen the miracle that Jesus 
did, said, This is of a truth 9 that 
prophet that should come into the 
world. 

15 When Jesus therefore per- 
ceived that they would come and 
take him by force, to make him 
a king, he departed again into a 
mountain himself alone. 

16 ^f And h when even was now 
come, his disciples went down unto 
the sea, 

17 And entered into a ship, and 
went over the sea toward Caper- 
naum. And it was now dark, and 
Jesus was not come to them. 

18 And the sea arose, by reason 
of a great wind that blew. 

19 So when they had rowed about 
five and twenty or thirty furlongs, 



CJirist reproves his carnal followers. JOHN, YI. 



He declares himself to be 



they see Jesus walking on. the sea, 
and drawing nigh unto the ship: 
and they were afraid. 

20 But he saith unto them, It is 
I; be not afraid. 

21 Then they willingly received 
him into the ship: and immedi- 
ately the ship was at the land 
whither they went. 

22 % The day following, when the 
people which stood on the other 
side of the sea saw that there was 
none other boat there, save that 
one whereinto his disciples were 
entered, and that Jesus went not 
with his disciples into the boat, 
but that his disciples were gone 
away alone; 

23 (Howbeit there came other 
boats from Tiberias, nigh unto the 

| place where they did eat bread, 
after that the Lord had given 
J thanks:) 

24 When the people therefore 
saw that Jesus was not there, nei- 
ther his disciples, they also took 
shipping, and came to Capernaum, 
seeking for Jesus. 

25 And when they had found 
him on the other side of the sea, 
they said unto him, Eabbi, when 
earnest thou hither? 

26 Jesus answered them and said, 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye 
seek me, not because ye saw the 
miracles, but because ye did eat 
of the loaves, and were filled. 

2fc l Labour not for the meat 
which perisheth, but *for that 
meat which endureth unto ever- 
lasting life, which the Son of man 
shall give unto you: i for him hath 
God the Father sealed. 

28 Then said they unto him, 
What shall we do, that we might 
work the works of God? 

29 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, This k is the work of God, 
that ye believe on him whom he 
hath sent. 

30 They said therefore unto him, 
What *sign showest thou then, 
that we may see, and believe thee? 
what dost thou work? 

31 Our m fathers did eat manna 
in the desert; as it is written, "He 
gave them bread from heaven to 
eat. 

32 Then Jesus said unto them, 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
Moses gave you not that bread 
from heaven; but my Father giv- 
eth you the true bread from 
heaven. 

33 For the bread of God is he

which cometh down from heaven, 
and giveth life unto the world. 

34 Then said they unto him, 
Lord, evermore give us this bread. 

35 And Jesus said unto them, I 
am the bread of life: °he that 
cometh to me shall never hunger; 
and he that believeth on me shall 
never thirst. 

36 But I said unto you, That ye 
also have seen me, and believe 
not. 

37 All that the Father giveth me 
shall come to me: and p him that 
cometh to me I will ■in no wise 
cast out. 

38 For I came down from hea- 
ven, 5 not to do mine own will, 
but r the will of him that sent me. 

39 And this is the Father's will 
which hath sent me, s that of all 
which he hath given me I should 
lose nothing, but should raise it 
up again at the last day. 

40 And this is the will of him 
that sent me, that 'every one 
which seeth the Son, and believ- 
eth on him, may have everlasting 
life: and I will raise him up at the 
last day. 

41 The Jews then rnumiured at 
him, because he said, I am the 
bread which came down from 
heaven. 

42 And they said, Is not this 
Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose 
father and mother we know? how 
is it then that he saith, I came 
down from heaven? 

43 Jesus therefore answered and 
said unto them, Murmur not 
among yourselves. 

44 No man can come to me, ex- 
cept the Father which hath sent 
me chaw him: and I will raise him 
up at the last day. 

45 It "is written in the Prophets, 
And they shall be all taught of 
God. Every man therefore that 
hath heard, and hath learned of 
the Father, cometh unto me. 

46 Not v that any man hath seen 
the Father, save w he which is of 
God, he hath seen the Father. 

47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
He *that believeth on me hath 
everlasting life. 

48 I am that bread of life. 

49 Your fathers did eat manna 
in the wilderness, and are dead. 

50 This is the bread which com- 
eth down from heaven, that a man 
may eat thereof, and not die. 

51 I am the living bread which 
came down from heaven. If any

Invitation to the water of life. 



15 And l the Jews marvelled, 
saying, How knoweth this man 
1 letters, having never learned? 

16 Jesus answered them, and 
said, m My doctrine is not mine, hut 
his that sent me. 

17 If n any man will do his will, 
he shall know of the doctrine, 
whether it be of God, or whether 1 
speak of myself. 

18 He ° that speaketh of himself 
seeketh his own glory: but he that 
seeketh his glory that sent him, 
the same is true, and no unright- 
eousness is in him. 

19 Did p not Moses give you the 
law, and yet none of you keepeth 
the law? 2 Why go ye about to kill 
me? 

20 The people answered and said, 
Thou r hast a devil: who goeth 
about to kill thee? 

21 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, I have done one work, and 
ye all marvel. 

22 Moses s therefore gave unto 
you circumcision; (not because it 
is of Moses, but c of the fathers;) 
and ye on the sabbath day cir- 
cumcise a man. 

23 If a man on the sabbath day 
receive circumcision, 2 that the law 
of Moses should not be broken; are 
ye angry at me, because I w have 
made a man every whit whole on 
the sabbath day? 

24 Judge v not according to the 
appearance, but judge righteous 
judgment. 

25 Then said some of them of 
Jerusalem, Is not this he whom 
they seek to kill? 

26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, 
and they say nothing unto him. 
Do the rulers know indeed that 
this is the very Christ? 

27 Howbeit we know this man 
whence he is: but when Christ 
cometh, no man knoweth whence 
he is. 

28 Then cried Jesus in the temple, 
as he taught, saying, *"Ye both 
know me, and ye know whence I 
am: and * I am not come of my- 
self, but he that sent me y is true, 
whom ye * know not. 

29 But a I know him: for I am 
from him, and he hath sent me. 

30 Then they sought to take him: 
but no man laid hands on him, 
because his hour was not yet 
come. 

31 And many of the people be- 
lieved on him, and said, When 
Christ cometh, will he do more

miracles than these which this man 
hath done? 

32 % The Pharisees heard that 
the people murmured such things 
concerning him; and the Pharisees 
and the chief priests sent officers 
to take him. 

33 Then said Jesus unto them, 
Yet & a little while am I with you, 
and then I go unto him that sent 
me. 

34 Ye c shall seek me, and shall 
not find me: and where I am, 
thither ye cannot come. 

35 Then said the Jews among 
themselves, Whither will he go, 
that we shall not find him ? will 
he go unto d the dispersed among 
the 3 Gentiles, and teach the Gen- 
tiles? 

36 What manner of saying is this 
that he said, Ye shall seek me, and 
shall not find me: and where I am, 
thither ye cannot come? 

37 ^ In the last day, that great 
day of the feast, Jesus stood and 
cried, saying, 6 If any man thirst, 
let him come unto me, and 
drink. 

38 He /that belie veth on me, as 
the Scripture hath said, 9 out of 
his belly shall flow rivers of living 
water. 

39 (But h this spake he of the 
Spirit, which they that believe on 
him should receive: for the Holy 
Ghost was not yet given; because 
that Jesus was not yet f glorified.) 

40 Many of the people therefore, 
when they heard this saying, 
said, Of a truth this is i the 
Prophet. 

41 Others said/ This is the Christ. 
But some said, Shall Christ come 
out of Galilee? 

42 Hath l not the Scripture said, 
That Christ cometh of the seed 
of David, and out of the town 
of Bethlehem, '"■ where David 
was? 

43 So there was a division among 
the people because of him. 

44 And some of them would have 
taken him; but no man laid hands 
on hhn. 

45 ^ Then came the officers to 
the chief priests and Pharisees; 
and they said unto them, Why 
have ye not brought him? 

46 The officers answered, Never 
man spake like this man. 

47 Then answered them the 
Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 

48 Have n any of the rulers or of 
the Pharisees believed on him? 



The ivornan taken in adultery. 



JOHN, VTJL 



Christ tfie light of the world. 



49 But this people who knoweth 
not the law are cursed. 

50 Nicodemus saith unto them, 
(he ° that came 4 to Jesus by night, 
being one of them,) 

51 Doth p our law judge any man 
before it hear him and know what 
he doeth? 

52 They answered and said unto 
him, Ait thou also of Galilee? 
Search, and look: for out s of 
Galilee ariseth no prophet. 

53 And every man went unto his 
own house. 

CHAPTER VHI. 

1 Christ releaseth a woman taken in adul- 
tery: 12 he preacheth himself the light 



of the world, and 
" answereth the Jews 



his doctrine; 



JESUS went unto the mount of 
Olives. 

2 And early in the morning he 
came again into the temple, and 
all the people came unto him; 
and he sat down, and taught 
them. 

3 And the scribes and Pharisees 
brought unto him a woman taken 
in adultery; and when they had 
set her in the midst, 

4 They say unto him, Master, 
this woman was taken in adultery, 
in the very act. 

5 Now a Moses in the law com- 
manded us, that such should 
be stoned: but what sayest thou? 

6 This theysaid, tempting him, 
that they might have to accuse 
him. But 'Jesus stooped down, 
and with his finger wrote on the 
ground, as though lie heard them 
not 

7 So when they continued asking 
him, he lifted up himself, and said 
unto them, 6 He that is without 
sin among you, let him first cast a 
stone at her. 

8 And again he stooped down, 
and wrote on the ground. 

9 And they which heard it, e be- 
ing convicted by their own con- 
science, went out one by one, be- 
ginning at the eldest, even unto 
the last: and Jesus was left alone, 
and the woman standing in the 
midst. 

10 When Jesus had lifted up 
Mmself, and saw none but the 
woman, he said unto her, Woman, 
where are those thine accusers? 
hath no man condemned thee? 

11 She said, No man, Lord. And 
Jesus said unto her, d Neither do 
I condemn thee: go, and sin no 
more.

12 ^ Then spake Jesus again unto 
them, saying, I am the light of the 
world: he that followeth me shall 
not walk in darkness, but shall 
have the light of life. 

13 The Pharisees therefore said 
unto him, e Thou bearest record 
of thyself; thy record is not true. 

14 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, Though I bear record of 
myself, yet my record is true: for I 
know whence I came, and whither 
I go; but /ye cannot tell whence 
I come, and whither I go. 

15 Ye 9 judge after the flesh; h I 
judge no man. 

16 And yet if I judge, my judg- 
ment is true; for * I am not alone, 
but I and the Father that sent me. 

17 It 4 is also written in your law, 
that the testimony of two men is 
true. 

18 I am one that bear witness of 
myself, and * the Father that sent 
me beareth witness of me. 

19 Then said they unto him, 
Where is thy Father? Jesus an- 
swered, l Ye neither know me, nor 
my Father: m if ye had known me, 
ye should have known my Father 
also. 

20 These words spake Jesus in 
the n treasury, as he taught in the 
temple: and ° no man laid hands 
on him; for p his hour was not 
yet come. 

21 Then said Jesus again unto 
them, I go my way, and q ye shall 
seek me, and shall die in yom- 
sins: whither I go, ye cannot 
come. 

22 Then said the Jews, Will he 
kill himself? because he saith, 
Whither I go, ye cannot come. 

23 And he said unto them, r Ye 
are from beneath; lam from above: 
ye " are of this world; I am not of 
this world. 

24 I said therefore unto you, that 
ye shall die in your sins: * for if ye 
believe not that I am he, ye shall 
die in your sins. 

25 Then said they unto him, Who 
art thou? And Jesus saith unto 
them, Even the same that I said 
unto you from the beginning. 

26 I have many things to say and 
to judge of you: but M he that sent 
me is true; and v I speak to the 
world those things which I have 
heard of him. 

27 They understood not that he 
spake to them of the Father. 

28 Then said Jesus unto them, 
When ye have w lifted up the Son 



Unbelievers the children of the devil. JOHN, IX. 



Christ declares his divinity. 



of man, x then shall ye know that 
I am he, and y that I do nothing 
of myself; but z as my Father 
hath taught me, I speak these 
things. 

29 And a he that sent me is with 
me : the Father hath not left me 
alone; 6 for I do always those 
things that please him. 

30 As he spake these words many 
believed on him. 

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews 
which believed on him, If ye con- 
tinue in my word, then are ye my 
disciples indeed; 

32 And ye shall know the truth, 
and c the truth shall make you 
free. 

33 They answered him, d We be 
Abraham's seed, and were never in 
bondage to any man : how sayest 
thou, Ye shall be made free? 

34 Jesus answered them, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, 6 Whoso- 
ever committeth sin is the servant

35 And/ the servant abideth not 
in the house for ever: but the Son 
abideth ever. 

36 If 9 the Son therefore shall 
make you free, ye shall be free 
indeed. 

37 I know that ye are Abraham's 
seed ; but ye h seek to kill me, 
because my word hath no place in 
you. 

38 1 speak that which I have 
seen with my Father; and ye do 
that which ye have seen with your 
father. 

39 They answered and said unto 
him, Abraham * is our father. 
Jesus saith unto them, ? If ye were 
Abraham's children, ye would do 
the works of Abraham. 

40 But now ye seek to kill me, 
a man that hath told you the 
truth, which I have heard of God: 
this did not Abraham. 

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. 
Then said they to him, We be not 
bom of fornication; k we have one 
Father, even God. 

42 Jesus said unto them, l If God 
were your Father, ye would love 
me: " l for I proceeded forth and 
came from God; n neither came I 
of myself, but he sent me. 

43 Why ° do ye not understand

not in the truth, because, there is 
no truth in him. When he 
speaketh a he, he speaketh of his 
own: for he is a liar, and the father 
of it. 

45 And because I tell you the 
truth, ye believe me not. 

46 Which of you convinceth me 
of sin? And if I say the truth, why 
do ye not believe me? 

47 He r that is of God heareth 
God's words: ye therefore hear 
them not, because ye are not of God. 

48 Then answered the Jews, and 
said unto him, Say we not well 
that thou art a Samaritan, and 
hast a devil? 

49 Jesus answered, I have not a 
devil; but I honour my Father, 
and ye do dishonour me. 

50 And s I seek not mine own 
glory: there is one that seeketh 
and judgeth. 

51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
If < a man keep my saying, he shall 
never see death. 

52 Then said the Jews unto him, 
Now we know that thou hast a 
devil. u Abraham is dead, and 
the prophets; and thou sayest, If a 
man keep my saying, he shall 
never taste of death. 

53 Art thou greater than our 
father Abraham, which is dead ? 
and the prophets are dead: whom 
makest thou thyself? 

54 Jesus answered, If I honour 
myself, my honour is nothing: " it 
is my Father that honoureth me; 
of whom ye say, that he is your 
God: 

55 Yet w ye have not known him; 
but I know him : and if I should 
say, I know him not, I shall be a 
liar like unto you: but I know 
him, and keep his saying. 

56 Your father Abraham ^rejoiced 
to see my day; y and he saw it, and 
was glad. 

57 Then said the Jews unto him, 
Thou art not yet fifty years old, 
and hast thou seen Abraham? 

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, Before 
Abraham was, * I am. 

59 Then took they up stones to 
cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, 
and went out of the temple, going 
through the midst of them, and 
so passed by. 

CHAPTER IX. 

A Mind man restored to sight 

AND as Jesus passed by, he saw 
a man which was blind from 
Aii's birth. 



Christ giveth sight to a blind man. J OHN, IX. 



Cavillings of the PJiarisees. 



2 And his disciples asked him, 
saying, Master, who did a sin, this 
man, or his parents, that he was 
born blind? 

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath 
this man sinned, nor his parents: 
but b that the works of God should 
be made manifest in him. 

4 1 c must work the works of him 
that sent me, while it is day : the 
night cometh, when no man can 
work. 

5 As long as I am in the world, 
I d am the light of the world. 

6 When he had thus spoken, e he 
spat on the ground, and made clay 
of the spittle, and he x anointed 
the eyes of the blind man with the 
clay, 

m 7 And said unto him, Go, / wash 
in the pool of Siloam, (which is, by 
interpretation, Sent.) 9 He went 
his way therefore, ana washed, and 
came seeing. 

8 % The neighbours therefore, and 
they which before had seen him 
that he was blind, said, Is not this 
he that sat and begged? 

9 Some said, This is he; others 
said, He is like him : but he said, I 
am he. 

10 Therefore said they unto him, 
How were thine eyes opened? 

11 He answered and said, A man 
that is called Jesus made clay, and 
anointed mine eyes, and said unto 
me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and 
wash: and I went and washed, and 
I received sight. 

12 Then said they unto him, 
Where is he? He said, I know 
not. 

13 f They brought to the Phari- 
sees him that aforetime was 
blind. 

14 And it was the sabhath day 
when Jesus made the clay, and 
opened his eyes. 

15 Then again the Pharisees also 
asked him how he had received 
his sight. He said unto them, He 
put clay upon mine eyes, and I 
washed, and do see. 

16 Therefore said some of the 
Pharisees, This man is not of God, 
-because he keepeth not the sab- 
hath day. Others said, * How can 
a man that is a sinner do such 
miracles? And * there was a divi- 
sion among them. 

17 They say unto the blind man 
again, What saj-est thou of him. 
that he hath opened thine eyes? 
He said, i He is a prophet. 

13 But the Jews did not believe

concerning him, that he had been 
blind, and received his sight, until 
they called the parents of him 
that had received his sight. 

19 And they asked them, saying, 
Is this your son, who ye say was 
born blind? how then doth he now 
see? 

20 His parents answered them, 
and said, We know that tliis is 
our son, and that he was bom 
blind: 

21 But by what means he now 
seeth, we know not; or who hath 
opened his eyes, we know not: he 
is of age; ask him: he shall speak 
for himself. 

22 These words spake his parents, 
because they k feared the Jews: for 
the Jews had agreed already, that 
if any man did confess that he 
was Christ, l he should be put out 
of the synagogue. 

23 Therefore said his parents, He 
is of age; ask him. 

24 Then again called they the 
man that was blind, and said unto 
him, m Give God the praise: we 
know that this man is a sinner. 

25 He answered and said, Whe- 
ther he be a sinner or no, I know 
not: one thing I know, that, where- 
as I was hlind, now I see. 

26 Then said they to him again, 
What did he to thee? how opened 
he thine eyes? 

27 He answered them, I have 
told you already, and ye did not 
hear: wherefore woidd ye hear it 
again? will ye also be his disciples? 

28 Then they reviled him, and 
said, Thou art his disciple; but we 
are Moses' disciples. 

29 We know that God spake unto 
Moses: as for this fellow, ■ we know 
not from whence he is. 

30 The man answered and said 
unto them, ° Why herein is a mar- 
vellous thing, that ye know not 
from whence he is, and yet he hath 
opened mine eyes. 

31 Now we know that p G od hear. 
eth not sinners: but if any man be 
a worshipper of God, and doeth 
his will, him he heareth. 

32 Since the world began was it 
not heard that any man opened 
the eyes of one that was born 
blind. 

33 If this man were not of God, 
he could do nothing. 

34 They answered and said unto 
him, Thou wast altogether bom in 
sins, and dost thou teach us? And 
they 2 cast him out. 



-V 



Christ the door, 



JOHN, X. 



and the good Shepherd. 



35 ^[ Jesus heard that they had 
cast him out; and when he had 
found him, he said unto him, Dost 
thou helieve on q the Son of God? 

36 He answered and said, Who 
is he, Lord, that I might helieve 
on him? 

37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou 
hast hoth seen him, and r it is he 
that talketh with thee. 

38 And he said, Lord, I helieve. 
And he worshipped him. 

39 If And Jesus said, s For judg- 
ment I am come into this world, 
that Hhey which see not might 
see, and that they which see might 
be made blind. 

40 And some of the Pharisees 
which were with Mm heard these 
words, u and said unto him, Are 
we blind also? 

41 Jesus said unto them, v If ye 
were blind, ye should have no sin: 
but now ye say, We see; therefore 
your sin remaineth. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Christ is the door, and the good shep- 
herd. 19 Divers opinions of him. 22 
He proveth by his works that he is 
Christ, and asserteth his unity with the 
Father. 

VERILY, verily, I say unto you, 
He a that entereth not by the 
door into the sheep-fold, but 
climbeth up some other way, the 
same is a thief and a robber. 

2 But he that entereth in by 
the b door is the shepherd of the 
sheep. 

3 To him c the porter openeth; 
and the sheep hear his voice : and 
he calleth his own sheep by name, 
and leadeth them out. 

4 And when he putteth forth his 
own sheep, he goeth before them, 
and the sheep follow him: for they 
know his voice. 

5 And d a stranger will they not 
follow, but will flee from him : for 
they know not the voice of stran- 
gers. 

6 This parable spake Jesus unto 
them: but they understood not 
what things tbey were which he 
spake unto them. 

7 Then said Jesus unto them 
again, Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, I am 6 the door of the sheep. 

8 All / that ever came before me 
are thieves and robbers: but the 
sheep did not hear them. 

9 I am the door : by me if any 
man enter in, he shall be saved, 
and shall go in and out, and find 
pasture.

10 The 9 thief cometh not, but 
for to steal, and to kill, and to de- 
stroy: I am come that they might 
have life, and that they might have 
it more abundantly. 

11 1 h am the good shepherd: the 
good shepherd giveth his fife for 
the sheep. 

12 But he that is an hireling, and 
not the shepherd, whose own the 
sheep are not, seeth the wolf com- 
ing, and * leaveth the sheep, and 
fieeth: and the wolf catcheth them, 
and scattereth the sheep. 

13 The hireling fieeth, because he 
is an hireling, and careth not for 
the sheep. 

14 I am the good shepherd, •?" and 
know my sheep, and k am known 
of mine. 

15 As the Father knoweth me, 
even so know I the Father: and I 
lay down my life for the sheep. 

16 And * other sheep I have, which 
are not of this fold: them alse I 
must bring, and they shall hear 
my voice; ™ and there shall be one 
fold, and one shepherd. 

17 Therefore doth my Father love 
me, n because I lay down my life, 
that I might take it again. 

18 No man taketh it from me, 
but I lay it down of myself. I 
have power to lay it down, and I 
have power to take it again. This 
commandment ° have I received 
of my Father. 

19 \\ There was a division there- 
fore again among the Jews for 
these sayings. 

20 And many of them said, He 
hath a devil, and is mad; why hear 
ye him? 

21 Others said, These are not the 
words of him that hath a devil. 
Can p a devil open the eyes of the 
blind? 

22 f And it was at Jerusalem the 
feast of the dedication, and it was 
winter. 

23 And Jesus walked in the tem- 
ple, 9 in Solomon's porch. 

24 Then came the Jews round 
about him, and said unto liim, 
How long dost thou x make us to 
doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell 
us plainly. 

25 Jesus answered them, I told 
you, and ye believed not: the 
works that I do in my Father's 
name, they bear witness of me. 

26 But r ye believe not, because 
ye are not of my sheep, as I said 
unto you. 

27 My sheep hear my voice, and

Sickness and death of Lazarus. 



I know them, and they follow 
me: 

28 And I give unto them eternal 
life; and they shall never perish, 
neither shall any pluck them out 
of my hand. 

29 My s Father, * which gave them 
me, is greater than all; and none 
is able to pluck them out of my 
Father's hand. 

30 I M and my Father are one. 

31 f Then the Jews took up 
stones again to stone him. 

32 Jesus answered them, Many 
good works have I showed you 
from my Father; for which of 
those works do ye stone me? 

33 The Jews answered him, say- 
ing, For a good work we stone, 
thee not; but for blasphemy; and 
because that thou, being a man, 
makest " thyself God. 

34 Jesus answered them, u ' Ls it 
not written in your law, I said, Ye 
are gods? 

35 If he called them gods x unto 
whom the word of God came, and 
the Scripture cannot be broken; 

36 Say ye of him, y whom the 
Father hath sanctified, and * sent 
into the world, Thou blasphemest; 
because I said, Tarn a the Son of 
God? 

37 If 6 1 do not the works of my 
Father, believe me not. 

38 But if I do, though ye believe 
not me, believe the works; that 
ye may know and believe c that 
the Father is in me, and I in 
him. 

39 % Therefore they sought again 
to take him: but he escaped out 
of their hand, 

40 And went away again beyond 
Jordan, into the place d where 
John at first baptized; and there 
he abode. 

41 And many resorted unto him, 
and said, John did no miracle: 
but e all things that John spake of 
this man were true. 

42 And / many believed on him 
there.

him, saying, Lord, behold, he 
whom thou lovest is sick. 

4 When Jesus heard that, he said, 
This sickness is not unto death, 
but c for the glory of God, that the 
Son of God might be glorified 
thereby. 

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and 
her sister, and Lazarus. 

6 When he had heard therefore 
that he was sick, d he abode two 
days still in the same place where 
he was. 

7 Then after that saith he to his 
disciples, Let us go into Judea 
again. 

8 His disciples say unto him. 
Master, ' the Jews of late sought 
to stone thee; and goest thou 
thither again? 

9 Jesus answered, Are there not 
twelve hours in the day? /If any 
man walk in the day, he stum- 
bleth not, because he seeth the 
light of this world. 

10 But 9 \£ a man walk in the 
night, he stumbleth, because there 
is no light in him. 

11 These things said he: and 
after that he saith unto them, Our 
friend Lazarus h sleepeth; but I go, 
that I may awake him out of 
sleep. 

12 Then said his disciples, Lord, 
if he sleep, he shall do well. 

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his 
death: but they thought that he 
had spoken of taking of rest in 
sleep. 

14 Then said Jesus unto them 
plainly, Lazarus is dead. 

15 And I am glad for your sakes 
that I was not there, to the intent 
ye may believe; nevertheless let 
us go unto him. 

16 Then said Thomas, which is 
called Didymus, unto his fellow- 
disciples, Let us also go, that we 
may die with him. 

17 Then when Jesus came, he 
found that he had lain in the grave 
four days already. 

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto 
Jerusalem, 1 about fifteen furlongs 
off. 

19 And many of the Jews came 
to Martha and Mary, to comfort 
them concerning their brother. 

20 Then Martha, as soon as she 
heard that Jesus was coming, 
went and met him: but Mary sat 
still in the house. 

21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, 
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my 
brother had not died. 



Christ the resurrection and the life. JOHN, XL

th Lazarus. 



22 But I know, that even now, 
whatsoever f. thou wilt ask of God, 
God will give it thee. 

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy 
brother shall ^' rise again. 

24 Martha saith unto him, k I 
know that he shall rise again in 
the resurrection at the last day. 

25 Jesus said unto her, I am l the 
resurrection, and the w life: he "that 
believeth in me, though he were 
dead, yet shall he live: 

26 And whosoever liveth and be- 
lieveth in «me shall never die. 
Believest thou this? 

27 She saith unto him, Yea, 
Lord: ° I believe that thou art the 
Christ, the Son of God, whieh 
should come into the world. 

28 And when she had so said, she 
went her way, and called Mary 
her sister secretly, saying, The 
Master is come, and calleth for 
thee. 

29 As soon as she heard that, she 
arose quickly, and came unto him. 

30 Now Jesus was not yet come 
into the town, but was in that 
place where Martha met him. 

31 The Jews then which were 
with her in the house, and com- 
forted her, when they saw Mary, 
that she rose up hastily and went 
out, followed her, saying, She go- 
eth unto the grave to weep there. 

32 Then when Mary was come 
where Jesus was, and saw him, she 
fell down at his feet, saying unto 
him, Lord, if thou hadst been 
here, my brother had not died. 

33 When Jesus therefore saw 
her weeping, and the Jews also 
weeping which came with her, he 
groaned in the spirit, and 2 was 
troubled, 

34 And said, Where have ye laid 
him? They said unto .him, Lord, 
come and see. 

35 Jesus p wept. 

36 Then said the Jews, Behold 
how he loved him! 

37 And some of them said, Could 
not this man, q which opened the 
eyes of the blind, have caused that 
even this man should not have 
died? 

38 Jesus therefore, again groan- 
ing in himself, cometh to the 
grave. It was a cave, and a stone 
lay upon it. 

39 Jesus said, Take ye away the 
stone. Martha, the sister of him 
that was dead, saith unto him, 
Lord, by this time he stinketh: for 
he hath been dead four days.

40 Jesus saith unto her. Said 1 
not unto thee, that, if thou 
wouldest believe, thou shouldest 
see the glory of God? 

41 Then they took away the 
stone from the place where the dead 
was laid. And Jesus lifted up his 
eyes, and said, Father t I thank 
thee that thou hast heard me. 

42 And I knew that thou hearest 
me always: but r because of the 
people which stand by I said it, 
that they may believe that thou 
hast sent me. 

43 And when he thus had spoken, 
he cried with a loud voice, La- 
zarus, s come forth. 

44 And he that was dead came 
forth, bound hand and foot with 
grave-clothes; and 'his face was 
bound about with a napkin. Je- 
sus saith unto them, Loose him, 
and let him go. 

45 Then many of the Jews which 
came to Mary, '" and had seen the 
things which Jesus did, believed 
on him. 

46 But some of them went their 
ways to the Pharisees, and told 
them what things Jesus had done. 

47 If Then v gathered the chief 
priests and the Pharisees a council, 
and said, w What do we? for this 
man doeth many miracles. 

48 Lf we let him thus alone, all 
men will believe on him: and * the 
Komans shall come and take away 
both our place and nation. 

49 And one of them, named y C&\- 
aphas, being the high priest that 
same year, said unto them, Ye 
know nothing at all, 

50 Nor z consider that it is expe- 
dient for us, that one man should 
die for the people, and that the 
whole nation perish not. 

51 And this spake he not of him- 
self: but being high priest that 
year, he prophesied that Jesus 
should die for that nation; 

52 And "not for that nation 
only, 6 but that also he should 
gather together in one the chil- 
dren of God that were scattered 
abroad. 

53 Then from that day forth they 
took counsel together for to put 
him to death. 

54 Jesus c therefore walked no 
more openly among the Jews; but 
went thence unto a country near 
to the wilderness, into a city 
called d Ephraim, and there con- 
tinued with his disciples. 

55 ^f And c the Jews' passover

was nigh at hand: and many went 
out of the country up to Jerusa- 
lem before the passover, to ^purify 
themselves. 

56 Then ^sought they for Jesus, 
and spake among themselves, as 
they stood in the temple, h What 
think ye, that he will not come to 
the feast? 

57 Now both the chief priests and 
the Pharisees had given a com- 
mandment, that, if any man knew 
where he were, he should show it, 
that they might take him. 

CHAPTEE XIL 

1 Jesus excv.seth Mary anointing his feet. 
10 The chief priests consult to kilt La^ 
zarus. 12 Christ rideih into Jerusalem 
with triumph. 23 He foretelleth his death. 

THEN Jesus, six days before the 
passover, came to Bethany, 
where a Lazarus was which had 
been dead, whom he raised from 
the dead. 

2 There l they made him a sup- 
per; and Martha served: but La- 
zarus was one of them that sat at 
the table with him. 

3 Then took c Mary a pound of 
ointment of spikenard, very costly, 
and anointed the feet of Jesus, and 
wiped his feet with her hair: and 
the house was filled with the 
odour of the ointment. 

4 Then saith one of his disciples, 
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which 
should betray him, 

5 Why was not this ointment 
sold for three hundred pence, and 
given to the poor? 

6 This he said, not that he cared 
for the poor; but because he was a 
thief, and d had the bag, and bare 
what was put therein. 

7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: 
against the day of my burying 
hath she kept this. 

8 For e the poor always ye have 
with you; but me ye have not al- 
ways. 

9 % Much people of the Jews 
therefore knew that he was there: 
and they came not for Jesus' sake 
only, but that they might see La- 
zarus also, whom he had raised 
from the dead. 

10 But /the chief priests consult- 
ed that they might put Lazarus 
also to death; 

11 Because ^that by reason of 
him many of the Jews went away, 
and believed on Jesus.

13 Took branches of palm trees, 
and went forth to meet him, and 
cried, l 'Hosanna: Blessed is the 
King of Israel that cometh in the 
name of the Lord. 

14 And Jesus, when he had found 
a young ass, sat thereon; as it is 
written, 

15 Fear ■'"not, daughter of Sion: 
behold, thy King cometh, sitting 
on an ass's colt. 

16 These things 7 - understood not 
his disciples at the first: J but 
when Jesus was glorified, m then 
remembered they that these 
things were written of him, and 
thai they had done these things 
unto him. 

17 The people therefore that 
was with him when he called 
Lazarus out of his grave, and 
raised him from the dead, bare 
record. 

18 For this cause the people also 
met him, for that they heard that 
he had done this miracle. 

19 The Pharisees therefore said 
among themselves, Perceive ye how 
ye prevail nothing? behold, the 
world is gone after him. 

20 fi And there "were certain 
Greeks among them °that came 
up to worship at the feast: 

21 The same came therefore to 
Philip, which was of Bethsaida of 
Galilee, and desired him, saying, 
Sir, we would see Jesus. 

22 Philip cometh and telleth An- 
drew: and again Andrew and 
Philip tell Jesus. 

23 •[ And Jesus answered them, 
saying, The p horn is come, that 
the Son of man should be glori- 
fied. 

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you. 
Except q a corn of wheat fall into 
the ground and die, it abideth 
alone : but if it die, it bringeth 
forth much fruit. 

25 He r that loveth his life shall 
lose it; and he that hateth his life 
in this world shall keep it unto 
life eternal. 

26 If any man serve me, let him 
follow me; and s where I am, there 
shall also my servant be: if any 
man serve me, him will my Father 
honour. 

27 Now * is my soul troubled; and 
what shall I say? Father, save me 
from this hour: u but for this cause 
came I unto this hour. 

28 Father, glorify thy name. 
Then v came there a voice from 
heaven, saying . I have both

glorified it, and will glorify it 
again. 

29 The people therefore that stood 
by, and heard it, said that it thun- 
dered : others said, An angel spake 
to him. 

30 Jesus answered and said, w This 
voice came not because of me, but 
for your sakes. 

31 Now is the judgment of this 
world : now shall * the prince of 
this world be cast out. 

32 And I, if I be lifted up from 
the earth, will draw y all men unto 
me. 

33 (This he said, signifying what 
death he should die.) 

34 The people answered him, 
We z have heard out of the law 
that Christ abideth for ever : and 
how sayest thou, The Son of man 
must be lifted up? who is this Son 
of man? 

35 Then Jesus said unto them, 
Yet a little while a is the light 
with you. b Walk while ye have 
the fight, lest darkness come upon 
you: for c he that walketh in dark- 
ness knoweth not whither he 
goeth. 

36 'While ye have light, believe 
in the light, that ye may be 
the d children of light. These 
things spake Jesus, and de- 
parted, and did hide himself from 
them. 

37 % But though he had done so 
many miracles before them, yet 
they believed not on him: 

38 That the saying of Esaias the 
prophet might be fulfilled, which 
he spake, 6 Lord, who hath be- 
lieved our report? and to whom 
hath the arm of the Lord been 
revealed? 

39 Therefore they could not be- 
lieve, because that Esaias said 
again, 

40 He / hath blinded their eyes, 
and hardened their heart; that 
they should not see with their eyes, 
nor understand with their heart, 
and be converted, and I should 
heal them. 

41 These things said Esaias, when 
he 9 saw his glory, and spake of 
him. 

42 % Nevertheless among the 
chief rulers also many believed on 
him; but because of the Pharisees 
they did not confess him, lest they 
should be put out of the syna- 
gogue: 

43 For ft they loved the praise of 
men more than the praise of God.

CHAPTER XHI. 

1 Jesus washeth his disciples' feet, 14 and 
exhorteth them to humility omd cttarity; 
18 foretelleth his betrayal; 36 forewarn- 
eth .Peter of his denial. 

NO W before the feast of the 
passover, when Jesus knew 
that his hour was come that he 
should depart out of this world 
unto the Father, having loved his 
own which were in the world, he 
loved them unto the end. 

2 And supper being ended, ( a the 
devil having now put into the heart 
of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to 
betray him,) 

3 Jesus knowing h that the Father 
had given all things into his hands, 
and that he was come from God, 
and went to God; 

4 He c riseth from supper, and 
laid aside his garments; and took 
a towel, and girded himself 

5 After that he poureth water 
into a bason, and began to wash 
the disciples' feet, and to wipe 
them with the towel wherewith he 
was girded. 

6 Then rometh he to Simon 
Peter: and 1 Peter saith unto him, 
Lord, d dost thou wash my feet? 

7 Jesus answered and said unto 
him, What I do thou knowest not 
now; but thou shalt know here- 
after. 



Christ teacheth humility. 



JOHN, XIV. 



Re foretelleth his betrayaZ. 



8 Peter saith unto him, Thou 
shalt never wash my feet. Jesus 
answered him, 6 If I wash thee 
not, thou hast no part with me. 

9 Simon Peter saith unto him, 
Lord, not my feet only, but also 
my hands and my head. 

10 Jesus saith to him, / He that 
is washed needeth not save to 
wash his feet, but is clean every 
whit: and 9 ye are clean, but not 
all. 

11 For he knew who should be- 
tray him; therefore said he, Ye 
are not all clean. 

12 So after he had washed their 
feet, and had taken his garments, 
and was set down again, he said 
unto them, Know ye what I have 
done to you? 

13 Ye A call me Master and Lord: 
and ye say well; for so I am. 

14 If * I then, your Lord and 
Master, have washed your feet, * ye 
also ought to wash one another's 
feet. 

15 For k I have given you an 
example, that ye should do as I 
have done to you. 

16 Verily, l verily, I say unto you, 
The servant is not greater than 
his lord; neither he that is sent 
greater than he that sent him. 

17 If "'ye know these things, 
happy are ye if ye do them. 

18 f I speak not of you all: n I 
know whom I have chosen: but, 
that the scripture may be fulfilled, 
He ° that eateth bread with me 
hath lifted up his heel against me. 

19 2 Now I tell you before it 
come, that, when it is come to 
pass, ye may believe that I am 
he. 

20 Verily, p verily, I say unto you, 
He that receiveth whomsoever I 
send receiveth me; and he that 
receiveth me receiveth him that 
sent me. 

21 When q Jesus had thus said, 
he r was troubled in spirit, and 
testified, and said, Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, That 5 one of you 
shall betray me. 

22 Then the disciples looked one 
on another, doubting of whom he 
spake. 

23 Now ' there was leaning on 
Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, 
whom Jesus loved. 

24 Simon Peter therefore beck- 
oned to him, that he should ask 
who it should be of whom he 
spake. 

25 He then lying on Jesus'

breast saith unto him, Lord, who 
is it? 

26 Jesus answered, He it is to 
whom I shall give a 3 sop, when I 
have dipped it. And when he 
had dipped the sop, he gave it to 
Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 

27 And M after the sop Satan 
entered into him. Then said 
Jesus unto him, That thou doest, 
do quickly. 

28 Now no man at the table 
knew for what intent he spake 
this unto him. 

29 For some of them thought, "be- 
cause Judas had the bag, that 
Jesus had said unto him, Buy those 
things that we have need of against 
the feast; or, that he should give 
something to the poor. 

30 He then having received the 
sop went immediately out: and it 
was night. 

31 ^f Therefore, when he was gone 
out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of 
man glorified, and w God is glorified 
in him. 

32 If x God be glorified in him, 
God shall also glorify him in him- 
self, and shall straightway glorify 
him. 

33 Little children, yet a little 
while I am with you. Ye shall 
seek me : and as I said unto the 
Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot 
come; so now I say to you. 

34 A y new commandment I give 
unto you, That ye love one an- 
other; as I have loved you, that ye 
also love one another. 

35 By this shall all men know 
that ye are my disciples, if ye have 
love ~one to another. 

36 % Simon Peter said unto him, 
Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus 
answered him, Whither I go, thou 
canst not follow me now; a but 
thou shalt follow me afterwards. 

37 Peter said unto him, Lord, 
why cannot I follow thee now? I 
will b lay down my life for thy 
sake. 

38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou 
lay down thy life for my sake ? 
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The 
cock shall not crow, till thou hast 
denied me thrice.

2 In " my Father's house are 
many mansions: if it were not so, I 
would have told you. b I go to 
prepare a place for you. 

3 And if I go and prepare a place 
for you, c I will come again, and 
receive you unto myself; d that 
where I am, there ye may be 
also. 

4 And whither I go ye know, and 
the way ye know. 

5 ^ Thomas saith. unto him, 
Lord, we know not whither thou 
goest; and how can we know the 
way? 

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am e the 
way, and f the truth, and 9 the 
life : h no man cometh unto the 
Father, but by me. 

7 If * ye had known me, ye should 
have known my Father also : and 
from henceforth ye know him, 
and have seen him. 

8 fl Philip saith unto him, Lord, 
show us the Father, and it suffi- 
ceth us. 

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I 
been so long time with you, and 
yet hast thou not known me, 
Philip? he •?' that hath seen me 
hath seen the Father; and how 
sayest thou then, Show us the 
Father?

18 I will not leave you l comfort- 
less: I will come to you. 

19 Yet a little while, and the 
world seeth me no more; but s ye 
see me: ' because I live, ye shall 
live also. 

20 At that day ye shall know 
that M I am in my Father, and ye 
in me, and I in you. 

21 He " that hath my command- 
ments, and keepeth them, he it is 
that loveth me : and he that 
loveth me shall be loved of my 
Father, and I will love him, 
and will manifest myself to 
him. 

22 Judas saith unto him, (not 
Iscariot,) Lord, how is it that thou 
wilt manifest thyself unto us, and 
not unto the world? 

23 Jesus answered and said unto 
him, If a man love me, he will 
keep my words: and my Father 
will love him, w and we will come 
unto him, and make our abode 
with him. 

24 He that loveth me not keepeth 
not my sayings : and x the word 
which ye hear is not mine, but the 
Father's which sent me. 

25 These things have I spoken 
unto you, being yet present with 
you. 

26 But y the Comforter, which is 
the Holy Ghost, whom the Father 
will send in my name, * he shall 
teach you all things, and bring all 
things to your remembrance, what- 
soever I have said unto you. 

27 Peace a I leave with you, my 
peace I give unto you: not as the 
world giveth, give I unto you. 
Let not your heart be troubled, 
neither let it be afraid. 

28 Ye have heard how I said 
unto you, I go away, and come 
again unto you. If ye loved me, 
ye would rejoice, because I said, I 
go unto the Father: for 6 my Father 
is greater than I. 

29 And now I have told you 
before it come to pass, that, when 
it is come to pass, ye might be- 
lieve. 

30 Hereafter I will not talk much 
with you: c for the prince of this 
world cometh, and d hath nothing 
in me. 

31 But that the world may know 
that I love the Father; and 6 as the 
Father gave me commandment, 
even so I do. Arise, let us go 
hence. 



Union of Christ and his church. JOHN", XV. Persecution of the disciples foretold. 



CHAPTER XV. 

The union between Christ and his 



church, under thepa.rable of a vine. 
The office of the Holy Ghost, etc. 



26 



I AM the true vine, and my 
Father is the husbandman. 

2 Every a branch in me that 
beareth not fruit he taketh away; 
and every branch that beareth fruit 
he purgeth it, that it may bring 
forth more fruit. 

3 Now 6 ye are clean through the 
word which I have spoken unto 
you. 

4 Abide c in me, and I in you. 
As the branch cannot bear fruit 
of itself, except it abide in the 
vine; no more can ye, except ye 
abide in me. 

5 I am the vine, ye are the bran- 
ches: He that abideth in me, and 
I in him, the same bringeth forth 
much d fruit: for x without me ye 
can do nothing. 

6 If a 6 man abide not in me, he 
is cast forth as a branch, and is 
withered; and men gather them, 
and cast them into the fire, and 
they are burned. 

7 If ye abide in me, and my words 
abide in you, ye shall ask what 
ye will, and it shall be done unto 
you. 

8 Herein / is my Father glorified, 
that ye bear much fruit; so shall 
ye be my disciples. 

9 As the Father hath loved me, 
so have I loved you: continue ye 
in my love. 

10 If ye keep my commandments, 
ye shall abide in my love; even 
as I have kept my Father's 
commandments, and abide in his 
love. 

11 These things have I spoken 
unto you, that my joy might re 
main in you, and 9 that your joy 
might be fulL 

12 This h is my commandment, 
That ye love one another, as I 
have loved you. 

13 Greater * love hath no man 
than this, that a man lay down 
his life for his friends. 

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do 
whatsoever I command you. 

15 Henceforth I call you not 
servants; for the servant knoweth 
not what his lord doeth: but I 
have called you friends; 3 for all 
things that I have heard of my 
Father I have made known unto 
you. 

16 Ye k have not chosen me, but 
[ have chosen you, and l ordained

you, that ye should go and bring 
forth fruit, and that your fruit 
should remain; that whatsoever 
ye shall ask of the Father in my 
name, he may give it you. 

17 These things I command you, 
that ye love one another. 

18 If If m the world hate you, ye 
know that it hated me before it 
hated you. 

19 If "ye were of the world, the 
world would love his own: °but 
because ye are not of the world, 
but I have chosen you out of the 
world, therefore the world hateth 
you. 

20 Eemember the word that 1 
said unto you, The servant is not 
greater than his lord. If they 
have persecuted me, they will also 
persecute you; p if they have kept 
my saying, they will keep yours 
also. 

21 But all these things will they 
do unto you for my name's sake, 
because they know not him that 
sent me. 

22 If 2 1 had not come and spoken 
unto them, they had not had sin: 
but r now they have no 2 cloak for 
their sin. 

23 He s that hateth me hateth 
my Father also. 

24 If I had not done among them 
the works which none other man 
did, they had not had sin: but 
now have they both seen and 
hated both me and my Father. 

25 But this cometh to pass, that the 
word might be fulfilled that is 
written in their law, * They hated 
me without a cause. 

2Q But M when the Comforter is 
come, whom I will send unto you 
from the Father, even the Spirit of 
truth, which proceedeth from the 
Father, v he shall testify of me: 

27 And w ye also shall bear wit- 
ness, because * ye have been with 
me from the beginning.

Office of the Comforter. 



JOHN, XVI. 



Christ comforts his disciples. 



4 But these things have I told 
you, that, when the time shall 
come, ye may remember that I 
told you of them. And these 
things I said not unto you at the 
beginning, because I was with 
you. 

5 But now I go my way to him 
that sent me; and none of you 
asketh me, Whither goest thou? 

6 But because I have said these 
things unto you, sorrow hath filled 
your heart. 

7 Nevertheless I tell you the 
truth; It is expedient for you that 
I go away: for if I go not away, 
the Comforter will not come unto 
you; but c if I depart, I will send 
him unto you. 

8 And when he is come, he will 
1 reprove the world of sin, and of 
righteousness, and of judgment: 

9 Of d sin, because they believe 
not on me; 

10 Of 6 righteousness, because I 
go to my Father, and ye see me 
no more; 

11 Of /judgment, because ff the 
prince of this world is judged. 

12 I have yet many things to say 
unto you, but ye cannot bear 
them now. 

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of 
truth, is come, h he will guide you 
into all truth: for he shall not 
speak of himself; but whatsoever 
he shall hear, that shall he speak: 
and he will * show you things to 
come. 

14 He shall glorify me; for he shall 
receive of mine, and shall show it 
unto you. 

15 All I things that the Father 
hath are mine: therefore said I, 
that he shall take of mine, and 
shall show it unto you. 

16 A little while, and ye shall 
not see me: and again, a little 
while, and ye shall see me; be- 
cause I go to the Father. 

17 Then said some of his disciples 
among themselves, What is this 
that he saith unto us, A little 
while, and ye shall not see me: and 
again, a little while, and ye shall 
see me: and, Because I go to the 
Father? 

18 They said therefore, What is 
this that he saith, A little while? 
we cannot tell what he saith. 

19 Now Jesus knew that they 
were desirous to ask him, and 
said unto them, Do ye enquire 
among yourselves of that I said, A 
little while, and ye shall not see

me: and again, a little while, and 
ye shall see me? 

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
That ye shall weep and lament, 
but the world shall rejoice: and ye 
shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow 
shall be turned into joy. 

21 A woman when she is in 
travail hath sorrow, because her 
hour is come: but as soon as she 
is delivered of the child, she re- 
membereth no more the anguish, 
for joy that a man is born into the 
world. 

22 And ye now therefore have 
sorrow: but I will see you again, 
and k your heart shall rejoice, and 
your joy no man taketh from you. 

23 And in that day ye shall ask 
me nothing. l Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask 
the Father in my name, he will 
give it you. 

24 Hitherto have ye asked no- 
thing in my name: ask, and ye 
shall receive, that your joy maybe 
full. 

25 These things have I spoken 
unto you in 2 proverbs: but the 
time cometh, when I shall no more 
speak unto you in 3 proverbs, but 
I shall show you plainly of the 
Father. 

26 At that day ye shall ask in 
my name: and I say not unto 
you, that I will pray the Father for 
you; 

27 For m the Father himself loveth 
you, because ye have loved me, 
and "have believed that I came 
out from God. 

28 I ° came forth from the Father, 
and am come into the world: 
again, I leave the world, and go to 
the Father. 

29 f His disciples said unto him, 
Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and 
speakest no 4 proverb. 

30 Now are we sure that p thou 
knowest all things, and needest 
not that any man should ask thee: 
by this g we believe that thou 
earnest forth from God. 

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye 
now believe? 

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, 
is now come, that ye shall be scat- 
tered, every man to ° his own, and 
shall leave me alone: and yet I am 
not alone, because the lather is 
with me. 

33 These things I have spoken 
unto you, that r in me ye might 
have peace. s In the world ye 
shall have tribulation: but be of

good cheer; ' I have overcome the 
world. 

CHAPTER XVH. 

1 Christ prayeth to his Father to glorify 
him, 6 to preserve his apostles, 20 and 
all other believers. 

THESE words spake Jesus, and 
lifted up his eyes to heaven, 
and said, Father, the hour is come; 
glorify thy Son, that thy Son also 
may glorify thee: 

2 As a thou hast given him power 
over all flesh, that he should give 
eternal life to as many 6 as thou 
hast given him. 

3 And c this is life eternal, that 
they might know thee d the only 
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom 
thou hast sent. 

4 I have glorified thee on the 
earth: I have finished the work 
which thou gavest me to do. 

5 And now, Father, glorify 
thou me with thine own self with 
the glory 6 which I had with thee 
before the world was. 

6 N have manifested thy name 
unto the men which thou gavest 
me out of the world : thine they 
were, and thou gavest them me; 
and they have kept thy word. 

7 Now they have known that all 
things whatsoever thou hast given 
me are of thee. 

8 For I have given unto them 
the words which thou gavest me; 
and they have received them, and 
have known surely that I came 
out from thee, and they have 
believed that thou didst send me. 

9 I pray for them : 9 I pray not 
for the world, but for them which 
thou hast given me; for they are 
thine. 

10 And h all mine are thine, and 
thine are mine; and I am glorified 
in them. 

11 And now I am no more in 
the world, but these are in the 
world, and I come to thee. Holy 
Father, » keep through thine own 
name those whom thou hast given 
me, that they may be one, 3 as we 
are. 

12 While I was with them in the 
world, k I kept them in thy name: 
those that thou gavest me I 
have kept, and l none of them is 
lost, m but the son of perdition; 
that n the Scripture might be ful- 
filled. 

13 And now come I to thee; and 
these things I speak in the world,

and ° the world hath hated them, 
because they are not of the world, 
even as I am not of the world. 

15 I pray not that thou shouldest 
take them out of the world, but 
that ^thou shouldest keep them 
from the evil 

16 They are not of the world, 
even as I am not of "the world. 

17 Sanctify them through thy 
truth: thy word is truth. 

18 As thou hast sent me into the 
world, .even so have I also sent 
them into the world. 

19 And 5 for then sakes I sanctify 
myself, that they also might be 
1 sanctified through the truth. 

20 Neither pray I for these alone,

21 That they all may be one; 
as r thou, Father, art in me, and

world. 

25 O righteous Father, the world 
hath not known thee: but I have 
known thee, and these have 
known that thou hast sent me. 

26 And I have declared unto

it; that the love wherewith thou 
hast loved me may be in them,

him, knew the place; °for Jesus 
ofttimes resorted thither with his 
disciples. 

3 Judas d then, having received 
a hand of men and officers from 
the chief priests and Pharisees, 
cometh thither with lanterns and 
torches and weapons. 

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all 
things that should come upon him, 
went forth, and said unto them, 
Whom seek ye? 

5 They answered him, Jesus of 
Nazareth* Jesus saith unto them, 
I am he. And Judas also, which 
betrayed him, stood with them. 

6 As soon then as he had said 
unto them, I am he, they went 
backward, and fell to the ground. 

7 Then asked he them again, 
Whom seek ye? And they said, 
Jesus of Nazareth. 

8 Jesus answered, I have told 
you that I am he. If therefore ye 
seek me, e let these go their way: 

9 That the saying might be ful- 
filled which he spake, ■''Of them 
which thou gavest me have I lost 
none. 

10 Then 9 Simon Peter having a 
sword drew it, and smote the high 
priest's servant, and cut off his 
right ear. The servant's name 
was Malchus. 

11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, 
Put up thy sword into the sheath: 
the h cup which my Father hath 

| given me, shall I not drink it? 
! 12 Then the band and the cap- 
| tain and officers of the Jews took

; 13 And* led him away to •'"Annas

16 But Peter stood at the door

unto the high priest, and spake 
unto her that kept the door, and

18 And the servants and officers 
stood there, who had made a fire 
of coals; for it was cold: and they 
warmed themselves: and Pet&- 
stood with them, and warmed 
himself. 

19 I The high priest then asked 
Jesus of his disciples, and of his 
doctrine. 

20 Jesus answered him, l l spake 
openly to the world; I ever taught 
in the synagogue, and in the 
temple, whither the Jews always 
resort; and in secret have I said 
nothing. 

21 Why askest thou me? ask 
them which heard me, what I 
have said unto them: behold, they I 
know what I said. 

22 And when he had thus 
spoken, one of the officers which 
stood by m struck Jesus 2 with the 
palm of his hand, saying, Answer- 
est thou the high priest so? 

23 Jesus answered him, n If I 
have spoken evil, bear witness of 
the evil; but if well, why smitest 
thou me? 

24 Now Annas had sent him 
bound unto Caiaphas the high 
priest. 

25 % And Simon Peter stood and 
warmed himself. °They said 
therefore unto him, Art not thou 
also one of his disciples? He de- 
nied it, and said, I am not. 

26 One of the servants of the 
high priest, being his kinsman 
whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did 
not I see thee in the garden with 
him? 

27 Peter then denied again: and 
immediately the p cock crew. 

28 If Then 9 led they Jesus from 
Caiaphas unto 3 the hall of judg- 
ment: and it was early; and r they 
themselves went not into the 
judgment hall, lest they should 
be defiled, but that they might 
eat * the passover. 

29 Pilate then went out unto 
them, and said, What accusation 
bring ye against this man? 

30 They answered and said unto 
him, If he were not a malefactor, 
we would not have delivered him 
up unto thee. 

31 Then said Pilate unto them, 
Take ye him, and judge him 
according to your law. The Jews 
therefore said unto him, ' It is not 
lawful for us to put any man to 
death: 

32 That M the saying of Jesus 
might be fulfilled, which he spake,

signifying what death he should 

die. 

. 33 Then Pilate entered into the 

judgment hall again, and called 

Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou 

the King of the Jews? 

34 Jesus answered him, Sayest 
thou this thing of thyself, or did 
others tell it thee of me? 

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? 
Thine own nation and the chief 
priests have delivered thee unto 
me: what hast thou done? 

36 Jesus "answered, w My king- 
dom is not of this world. If my 
kingdom were of this world, then 
would my servants fight, that I 
should not be delivered to the 
Jews: but now is my kingdom not 
from hence. 

37 Pilate therefore said unto him, 
Art thou a king then? Jesus an- 
swered, Thou sayest that I am a 
king. To this end was I born, 
and for this cause came I into the 
world, that I should x bear witness 
unto the truth. Every one that "is 
of the truth heareth my voice. 

38 Pilate saith unto him, What 
is truth? And when he had said 
this, he went out again unto the 
Jews, and saith unto them, I *fmd 
in him no fault at all. 

39 But ye have a custom, that 1 
should release unto you one at the 
passover: will ye therefore that I 
release unto you the King of the 
Jews? 

40 Then "cried they all again, 
saying, Not this man, but Barab- 
bas. 6 Now Barabbas was a 
robber. 

CHAPTER XIX. 

1 Clirist is scourged, crowned with thorns, 
and beaten, 6 Pilate delivers him to be 
crucified. 26 He commendeth his mother 
to John. 28 He dieth. 88 He is buried. 

THEN ° Pilate therefore took 
Jesus, and scourged him. 

2 And the soldiers platted a 
crown of thorns, and put it on his 
head, and they put on him a pur- 
pie robe, 

3 And said, Hail, King of the 
Jews! and they smote him with 
their hands. 

4 Pilate therefore went forth 
again, and saith unto them, Be- 
hold, I bring him forth to you, 
that h ye may know that I rind no 
fault in him. 

5 Then came Jesus forth, wear- 
ing the crown of thorns, and the 
purple robe. And Pilate saith 
unto them, Behold the man!

fore and officers saw him, they 
cried out, saying, Crucify him, cru- 
cify him. Pilate saith unto them, 
Take ye him, and crucify him: for 
I find no fault in him. 

7 The Jews answered him, d We 
have a law, and by our law he 
ought to die, because he "made 
himself the Son of God. 

8 % When Pilate therefore heard 
that saying, he was the more 
afraid; 

9 And went again into the judg- 
ment hall, and saith unto Jesus, 
Whence art thou? But /Jesus 
gave him no answer. 

10 Then saith Pilate unto him, 
Speakest thou not unto me? know- 
est thou not that I have power to 
crucify thee, and have power to 
release thee? 

] 1 Jesus answered, 3 Thou could- 
est have no power at all against 
me, except it were given thee from 
above: therefore he that delivered 
me unto thee hath the greater sin. 

12 And from thenceforth Pilate 
sought to release him: but the Jews 
cried out, saying, h If thou let this 
man go, thou art not Cesar's friend: 
whosoever * maketh himself a king 
speaketh against Cesar. 

13 % When Pilate therefore heard 
that saying, he brought Jesus 
forth, and sat down in the judg- 
ment seat in a place that is called 
the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, 
1 Gabbatha. 

14 And i it was the preparation 
of the passover, and about the 
sixth hour: and he saith unto the 
Jews, Behold your King! 

15 But they cried out, Away 
with him, away with him, crucify 
him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall 
I crucify your King? The chief 
priests answered, k We have no 
king but Cesar. 

16 Then l delivered he him there- 
fore unto them to be crucified. 
And they took Jesus, and led him 
away. 

17 And he bearinghis cross m went 
forth into a place called the place 
of a skull, which is called in the 
Hebrew, Golgotha: 

18 Where "they crucified him, 
and two other with him, on either 
side one, and Jesus in the midst. 

19 T And Pilate wrote a title, and 
put it on the cross. And the 
writing was, JESUS OF NAZA- 
RETH THE KING OF THE 
JEWS. 

20 This title then read many of

the Jews; for the place where Je- 
sus was crucified was nigh to the 
city: and it was written in Hebrew, 
and Greek, and Latin. 

21 Then said the chief priests of 
the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The 
King of the Jews; but that he said, 
I am King of the Jews. 

22 Pilate answered, What I have 
written I have written. 

23 \ Then the soldiers, when 
they had crucified Jesus, took his 
garments, and made four parts, to 
every soldier a part; and also his 
coat: now the coat was without 
seam, 2 woven from the top 
throughout. 

24 They said therefore among 
themselves, Let us not rend it, but 
cast lots for it, whose it shall be: 
that the scripture might be ful- 
filled, which saith, ° They parted 
my raiment among them, and for 
my vesture they did cast lots. 
These things therefore the soldiers 
did. 

25 ^f Now there stood by the 
cross of Jesus his mother, and his 
mother's sister, Mary the wife of 
3 Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 

26 When Jesus therefore saw his 
mother, and p the disciple stand- 
ing by whom he loved, he saith 
unto his mother, Woman, 2 behold 
thy son! 

27 Then saith he to the disciple, 
Behold thy mother! And from 
that hour that disciple took her 
unto r his own home. 

28 1[ After this, Jesus knowing 
that * all things were now accom- 
plished, ' that the Scripture might 
be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 

29 Now there was set a vessel 
full of vinegar: and they filled a 
sponge with vinegar, and put it 
upon hyssop, and put it to his 
mouth. 

30 When Jesus therefore had re- 
ceived the vinegar, he said, M It is 
finished: and he bowed his head, 
and " gave up the ghost. 

31 H The Jews therefore, w be- 
cause it was the preparation, "'that 
the bodies should not remain upon 
the cross on the sabbath day, (for 
that sabbath day was y an high 
day,) besought Pilate that their 
legs might be broken, and that 
they might be taken away. 

32 Then came the soldiers, and 
brake the legs of the first, and of 
the other which was crucified with 
him. 

33 But when they came to Jesus,

and saw that he was dead already, 
they brake not his legs: 

34 But one of the soldiers with a 
spear pierced his side, and forth- 
with *came thereout blood and 
water. 

35 And "he that saw it bare re- 
cord, and his record is true: and 
he knoweth that he saith true, 
that ye might believe. 

36 For these things were done, 
that h the scripture should be ful- 
filled, A bone of him shall not be 
broken. 

37 And again another scripture 
saith, They c shall look on him 
whom they pierced. 

38 % And d after this, Joseph of 
Arimathea, being a disciple of Je- 
sus, but secretly 6 for fear of the 
Jews, besought Pilate that he 
might take away the body ol 
Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. 
He came therefore, and took the 
body of Jesus. 

39 And there came also /Nico- 
demus, (which at the first came to 
Jesus by night,) and brought ^a 
mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 
an hundred pound weight. 

40 Then took they the body of 
Jesus, and wound A it in linen 
clothes with the spices, as the 
manner of the Jews is to bury. 

41 Now in the place where he 
was crucified there was a garden; 
and in the garden a * new sepul- 
chre, wherein was never man yet 
laid. 

42 There 3 laid they Jesus there- 
fore, because of the Jews' prepara- 
tion day; for the sepulchre was 
nigh at hand. 

CHAPTER XX. 

1 Mary Magdalene cometh to the sepulchre: 
11 she seeth two angels: Jesus himself 
appear eth to her, 19 and to his disciples, 

THE "first day of the week com- 
eth Mary Magdalene early, 
when it was yet dark, unto the 
sepulchre, and seeth the stone 
taken away from the sepulchre. 

2 Then she runneth, and cometh 
to Simon Peter, and to the b other 
disciple whom Jesus loved, and 
saith unto them, They have taken 
away the Lord out of the sepulchre, 
and we know not where they have 
laid him. 

3 Peter c therefore went forth, and 
that other disciple, and came to 
the sepulchre. 

4 So they ran both together: and 
the other disciple did outrun Peter, 
and came first to the sepulchre.

disciples at the sea of Tiberias: 
and on this wise showed he him- 
self. 

2 There were together Simon 
Peter, and Thomas called Didy- 
mus, and ° Nathanael of Cana in 
Galilee, and h the sons of Zebedee, 
and two other of his disciples. 

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, 
I go a fishing. They say unto him, 
We also go with thee. They went 
forth, and entered into a ship im- 
mediately; and fhat night they 
caught nothing. 

4 But when the morning was 
now come, Jesus stood on the 
shore: but the disciples knew c not 
that it was Jesus. 

5 Then d Jesus saith unto them, 
1 Children, have ye any meat ? 
They answered him, No. 

6 And he said unto them, e Cast 
the net on the right side of the 
ship, and ye shall find. They cast 
therefore; and now they were not 
able to draw it for the multitude 
of fishes. 

7 Therefore J that disciple whom 
Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is 
the Lord. Now when Simon 
Peter heard that it was the Lord, 
he girt his fisher's coat unto him, 
(for he was naked,) and 9 did cast 
himself into the sea. 

8 And the other disciples came 
in a little ship; (for they were not 
far from land, but as it were two 
hundred cubits,) dragging the net 
with fishes. 

9 As soon then as they were come 
to land, they h saw a fire of coals 
there, and fish laid thereon, and 
bread. 

10 Jesus saith untc-them, Bring 
of the fish which ye have now 
caught. 

11 Simon Peter went up, and 
drew the net to land full of great 
fishes, an hundred and fifty and 
three: and for all there were so 
many, yet was not the net bro- 
ken. 

12 Jesus saith unto them, * Come 
and dine. And none of the dis- 
ciples durst ask him. Who art 
thou? knowing that it was the 
Lord. 

13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh 
breadj and giveth them, and fish 
likewise. 

14 This is now J" the third time 
that Jesus showed himself to his 
disciples after that he was risen 
from the dead.

15 % So when they had dined, 
Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, 
son of Jonas, lovest thou me k more 
than these? He saith unto him, 
Yea, Lord; l thou knowest that I 
love thee. He saith unto him, 
Feed m my lambs. 

16 He saith to him again the 
second time, Simon, son of Jonas, 
lovest thou me? He saith unto 
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest 
that I love thee. He n saith unto 
him, Feed my sheep. 

17 He saith unto him ° the third 
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest 
thou me? Peter was grieved be- 
cause he said unto him the third 
time, Lovest thou me? And he 
said unto him, Lord, p thou know- 
est all things; thou knowest that I 
love thee. Jesus saith unto him, 
Feed my sheep. 

18 Verily, q verily, I say unto thee, 
When thou wast young, thou gird- 
edst thyself, and walkedst whither 
thou wouldest: but when thou 
shalt be old, thou shalt stretch 
forth thy hands, and another shall 
gird thee, and carry thee whither 
thou wouldest not. 

19 This spake he, signifying r by 
what death he should glorify God. 
And when he had spoken this, he 
saith unto him, Follow me. 

20 Then Peter, turning about, 
seeth the disciple s whom Jesus 
loved following; which also leaned 
on his breast at supper, and said, 
Lord, which is he that betrayeth 
thee? 

21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, 
Lord, and ' what shall this man 
do? 

22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will 
that he tarry u till I come, what 
is v that to thee ? Follow thou 
me. 

23 Then went this saying abroad 
among the brethren, that that 
disciple should not die: yet Jesus 
said not unto him, He shall not 
die; but, If I will that he tarry 
till I come, what is that to thee? 

24 This is the disciple which 
testifieth of these things, and wrote 
these things: " and we know that 
his testimony is true. 

25 And there are also many other 
things which Jesus did, the which, 
if they should be written every 
one, *I suppose that even the 
world itself could not contain the 
books that should be written. 
Amen. 



THE 



ACTS OF THE APOSTLES. 



CHAPTER I. 

1 A relation of part of Christ's history after 

his passion: 9 his ascension. 26 MatthU 

ps ordained in place of Judas Iscariot. 

THE former treatise have I 
made, a Theophilus, of all 
that Jesus "began both to do and 
teach, 

2 Until 5 the day in which he was 
taken up, after that he through 
the Holy Ghost had given com- 
mandments unto the apostles 
whom he had chosen: 

3 To c whom also he showed him- 
self alive after his passion by many 
infallible proofs, being seen oMhem 
forty days, and speaking of the 
things pertaining to the kingdom 
of God: 

4 And, * being assembled together 
with them, commanded them that 
they should not depart from Jeru- 
salem, but wait for the promise of 
the Father, d which, saith he, ye 
have heard of me. 

5 For 6 John truly baptized with 
water; but / ye shall be baptized 
with the Holy Ghost not many 
days hence. 

6 When they therefore were come 
together, they asked of him, say- 
ing, Lord, wilt thou at this time 
restore 9 again the kingdom to 
Israel? 

7 And he said unto them, ft It is 
not for you to know the times or 
the seasons, which the Father hath 
put in his own power. 

8 But ye shall receive 2 power, 
after that the Holy Ghost is come 
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses 
unto me both in Jerusalem, and 
in all Judea, and in Samaria, and 
unto the uttermost part of the 
earth. 

9 And * when he had spoken 
these things, while they beheld, he 
was taken up; and a cloud received 
him out of their sight. 

10 And, while they looked sted- 
fastly toward heaven as he went 
up, behold, two men stood by them 
in i white apparel; 

11 "Which also said, Ye men of 
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up 
into heaven? this same Jesus, 
which is taken up from you into 
heaven, k shall so come in like 
manner as ye have seen him go 
into heaven.

12 f Then 



returned they unto 
called 



7 
Jerusalem from the mount l < 
Olivet, which is from Jerusalem 
a m sabbath day's journey. 
. 13 And when they were come 
in, they went up n into an upper 
room, where abode both Peter, 
and James, and John, and An- 
drew, Philip, and Thomas, Bar- 
tholomew, and Matthew, James 
the son of Alpheus, and ° Simon 
Zelotes, and * Judas the brother of 
James. 

14 These all continued with one 
accord in prayer and supplication, 
with q the women, and Mary the 
mother of Jesus, and with r his 
brethren. 

15 if And in those days Peter 
stood up in the midst of the dis- 
ciples, and said, (the number s of 
the names together were about an 
hundred and twenty,) 

16 Men and brethren, this scrip- 
ture must needs have been ful- 
filled, \ which the Holy Ghost, by 
the mouth of David, spake before 
concerning Judas, u which was 
guide to them that took Jesus. 

17 For v he was numbered with 
us, and had obtained part of w this 
ministry. 

18 Now * this man purchased a 
field with the y reward of iniquity; 
and z falling headlong, he burst 
asunder in the midst, and all his 
bowels gushed out. 

19 And it was known unto all 
the dwellers at Jerusalem; inso- 
much as that field is called in their 
proper tongue, Aceldama, that is 
to say, The field of blood. , 

20 For it is written in the book 
of Psalms, a Let his habitation be 
desolate, and let no man dwell 
therein : and, His 3 bishopric let 
another take. 

21 Wherefore of these men which 
have companied with us all the 
time that the Lord Jesus went in 
and out among us, 

22 Beginning from the baptism 
of John, unto that same day that 
he was taken up from us, must one 
be ordained 6 to be a witness with 
us of his resurrection. 

23 And they appointed two, 
Joseph called Barsabas, who was 
surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 

24 And they prayed, and said, 



The day of Pentecost. 



ACTS, II. 



Peter's sermon. 



Thou, Lord, which c knowest the 
hearts of all mm, show whether of 
these two thou hast chosen, 

25 That he may take part of this 
ministry and apostleship, from 
which Judas by transgression fell, 
that he might go to his own place. 

26 And they gave forth their d lots; 
and the lot fell upon Matthias; and 
he was numbered with the eleven 
apostles. 

CHAPTER II. 
1 The apostles, filled with the Holy Ghost, 
speak clivers languages. 14 Peter's ser- 
mon, etc. 

AND when a the day of-Pentecost 
was fully come, b they were all 
with one accord in one place. 

2 And suddenly there came a 
soimd from heaven, as of a rush- 
ing mighty wind, and it c filled 
all the house where they were 
sitting. 

3 And there appeared unto them 
cloven tongues, like as of fire, and 
it sat upon each of them. 

4 And d they were all filled with 
the Holy Ghost, and "began to 
speak with other tongues, as the 
Spirit gave them utterance. 

5 And there were dwelling /at 
Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out 
of every nation under heaven. 

6 Now 1 when this was noised 
abroad, the multitude came to- 
gether, and were 2 confounded, be- 
cause that every man heard them 
speak in his own language. 

7 And they were all amazed, and 
marvelled, saying one to another, 
Behold, are not all these which 
speak Galileans? 

8 And how hear we every man 
in our own tongue, wherein we 
were born? 

9 Parthians, and Medes, and 
Elamites, and the dwellers in 
Mesopotamia, and in Judea, 9 and 
Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in 
Egypt, and in the parts of Libya 
about Cyrene, and strangers of 
Eome, Jews and h proselytes, 

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do 
hear them speak in our tongues 
the wonderful works of God. 

12 And they were all amazed, 
and were in doubt, saying one to 
another, What meaneth this? 

13 Others * mocking said, These 
men are full of new wine. 

14 ^ But Peter, standing up with 
the eleven, lifted up his voice, and 
said unto them, Ye men of Judea, 
and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem,

be this known unto you, and 
hearken to my words: 

15 For these are not drunken, as 
ye suppose, seeing it is but the 
third hour of the day. 

16 But this is that which was 
spoken by the prophet Joel; 

17 And-?' it shall come to pass in 
the last days, saith God, k I will 
pour out of my Spirit upon ail flesh: 
and your sons and your l daughters 
shall prophesy, and your young 
men shall see visions, and your old 
men shall dream dreams: 

18 And on my servants and on 
my handmaidens I will pour out 
in those days of my Spirit; m and 
they shall prophesy: 

19 And n I will show wonders in 
heaven above, and signs in the 
earth beneath; blood, and fire, and 
vapour of smoke: 

20 The ° sun shall be turned into 
darkness, and the moon into blood, 
before that great and notable day 
of the Lord come: 

21 And it shall come to pass, v tliat 
whosoever shall call on the name 
of the Lord shall be saved. 

22 Ye men of Israel, hear these 
words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man 
approved of God among you q by 
miracles and wonders and signs, 
which God did by him in the 
midst of you, as ye yourselves also 
know: 

23 Him, r being delivered by 
the determinate counsel and fore- 
knowledge of God, ye have taken, 
and by wicked hands have crucified 
and slain: 

24 Whom s God hath raised up, 
having loosed the pains of death: 
because it was not possible that he 
should be holden of it. 

25 For David speaketh concern- 
ing him, £ I foresaw the Lord always 
before my face; for he is on my 
right hand, that I should not be 
moved: 

26 Therefore did my heart re- 
joice, and my tongue was glad; 
moreover also my flesh shall rest in 
hope: 

27 Because thou wilt not leave 
my soul in hell, neither wilt thou 
suffer thine w Holy One to see 
corruption. 

28 Thou hast made known to me 
the ways of life; thou shalt make 
me full of joy with thy counte- 
nance. 

29 Men and brethren, 3 let me 
freely speak unto you "of the patri- 
arch David, that he is both dead

flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit 
on his throne; 

31 He, seeing this before, spake of 
the resurrection of Christ, x that his 
soul was not left in hell, neither his 
flesh did see corruption. 

32 This Jesus hath God raised up, 
whereof y we all are witnesses. 

33 Therefore z being by the right 
hand of God exalted, and a having 
received of the Father the promise 
of the Holy Ghost, he hath 6 shed 
forth this, which ye now see and 
hear. 

34 For David is not ascended into 
the heavens: but he saith himself, 
The "Lord said unto my Lord, 
Sit thou on my right hand, 

35 Until I make thy foes thy 
footstool 

36 Therefore let all the house of 
Israel know assuredly, that God 
hath d made that same Jesus, whom 
ye have crucified, both Lord and 
Christ. 

37 f Now when they heard this, 
they 6 were pricked in their heart, 
and said unto Peter and to the 
rest of the apostles, Men and 
brethren, what shall we do? 

38 Then Peter said unto them, 
Repent, /and be baptized every- 
one of you in the name of Jesus 
Christ for the remission of sins, and 
ve shall receive the gift of the 
Holy Ghost. 

39 For the g promise is unto you, 
and h to your children, and » to all 
that are afar off, even as many as 
the Lord our God shall call. 

40 And with many other words 
did he testify and exhort, saying, 
Save yourselves from this unto- 
ward generation. 

41 f Then they that gladly re- 
ceived his word were baptized: 
and the same day there were added 
unto them about three thousand 
souls. 

42 And ■Jthey continued sted- 
fastly in the apostles' doctrine and 
fellowship, and in breaking of 
bread, and in prayers. 

43 And fear came upon every 
soul: *and many wonders and 
signs were done by the apostles. 

44 And all that believed were 
together, and had { all things 
common;

45 And sold their possessions and 
goods, and m parted them to all 
men, as every man had need 

46 And they, continuing daily 
with one accord n in the temple, 
and "breaking bread 4 from house 
to house, did eat their meat with 
gladness and singleness of heart, 

47 Praising God, and p having 
favour with all the people. And 
the g Lord added to the church 
daily such as should be saved. 

CHAPTER HL 
Peter and John cure a lame man, etc. 

NOW Peter and John went up 
together into the temple at 
the hour of prayer, being the ninth 
hour. 

2 And a certain man lame from 
his mother's womb was carried, 
whom they laid daily at the gate 
of the temple which is called 
Beautiful, a to ask alms of them 
that entered into the temple; 

3 Who seeing Peter and John 
about to go into the temple asked 
an alms. 

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes 
upon bim with John, said, Look 
on us. 

5 And he gave heed unto them, 
expecting to receive something of 
them. 

6 Then Peter said, 6 Silver and 
gold have I none; but such as I 
have give I thee: c In the name of 
Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up 
and walk. 

7 And he took him by the right 
hand, and lifted him up; and im- 
mediately his feet and ancle bones 
received strength. 

8 And he d leaping up stood, and 
walked, and entered with them 
into the temple, walking, and 
leaping, and praising God. 

9 And * all the people saw him 
walking and praising God: 

10 And they knew that it was 
he which sat for alms at the Beau- 
tiful gate of the temple: and they 
were filled with wonder and 
amazement at that which had 
happened unto him. 

11 f And as the lame man which 
was healed held Peter and John, 
all the people ran together unto 
them in the porch / that is called 
Solomon's, greatly wondering. 

12 And when Peter saw it, he 
answered unto the people, Ye men 
of Israel, why marvel ye at this? 
or why look ye so earnestly on us, 
as though by our own 9 power or 



Peter exhorts the Jews to repentance. ACTS, IV. 



Peter and John v, 



holiness we had made this man to 
walk? 

13 The A God of Abraham, and 
of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of 
our fathers, *hath glorified his Son 
Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and 
denied him in the presence of 
Pilate, when he was determined to 
let him go. 

14 But ye denied i the Holy One 
and *the Just, and desired a 
murderer to be granted unto you; 

15 And killed the 1 Prince of life, 
whom God hath raised from the 
dead; whereof we are witnesses. 

16 And l his name through faith 
in his name hath made this man 
strong, whom ye see and know; 
yea, the faith which is by him hath 
given him this perfect soundness 
in the presence of you all. 

17 And now, brethren, I wot that 
through ignorance m ye did it, as 
did also your rulers. 

18 But those things, which God 
before had showed n by the mouth 
of all his prophets, that Christ 
should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 

19 Eepent ye therefore, and be 
converted, that your sins may be 
blotted out, when the -times of 
refreshing shall come from the 
presence of the Lord; 

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, 
whichbefore was preached unto you: 

21 Whom ° the heaven must re- 
ceive until the times of p restitu- 
tion of all things, which God hath 
spoken by the mouth of all his 
holy prophets since the world be- 
gan. 

22 For Moses truly said unto the 
fathers, A q Prophet shall the Lord 
your God raise up unto you of 
your brethren, r like unto me; him 
shall ye hear in all things whatso- 
ever he shall say unto you. 

23 And it shall come to pass, that 
every * soul, which will not hear 
that Prophet, shall be destroyed 
from among the people. 

24 Yea, and all the prophets from 
Samuel and those that follow after, 
as many as have spoken, have like- 
wise foretold of these days. 

25 Ye * are the children of the 
prophets, and of the covenant 
which God made with our fathers, 
saying unto Abraham, u And in 
thy seed shall all the kindreds of 
the earth be blessed. 

26 Unto you first God, having 
raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to 
bless you, in turning away every 
one of you from his iniquities.

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Peter and John imprisoned: 8 their bold- 
ness: 18 they are threatened by the rulers 
of the Jews. 

AND as they spake unto the 
people, the priests, and the 
1 captain of the temple, and the 
Sadducees, came upon them, 

2 Being a grieved that they taught 
the people, and preached through 
Jesus the resurrection from the 
dead. 

3 And they laid hands on them, 
and put them in hold unto the next 
day : for it was now eventide. 

4 Howbeit many of them which 
heard the word believed; and the 
number of the men was about five 
thousand. 

5 f And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that their rulers, and 
elders, and scribes, 

6 And 6 Annas the high priest, 
and Caiaphas, and John, and 
Alexander, and as many as were 
of the kindred of the high priest, 
were gathered together at Jerusa- 
lem. 

7 And when they had set them 
in the midst, they asked, c By what 
power, or by what name, have ye 
done this? 

8 Then d Peter, filled with the 
Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye 
rulers of the people, and elders of 
Israel, 

9 If we this day be examined of 
the good deed done to the impo- 
tent man, by what means he is 
made whole; 

10 Be it known unto you all, and 
to all the people of Israel, 6 that by 
the name of Jesus Christ of Naza- 
reth, whom ye crucified, whom 
God raised from the dead, even by 
him doth this man stand here be- 
fore you whole. 

11 This •''is the stone which was 
set at nought of you builders, 
which is become the head of the 
corner. 

12 Neither 9 is there salvation in 
any other: for there is none other 
name under heaven given among 
men whereby we must be saved. 

13 ^[ Now when they saw the 
boldness of Peter and John, A and 
perceived that they were unlearned 
and ignorant men, they marvelled; 
and they took knowledge of them, 
that they had been with Jesus. 

14 And beholding the man which 
was healed standing with them, 
they could say nothing against 
it 



Prayer of the disciples. 



ACTS, V. 



Their mutual love. 



15 But, when they had com- 
manded them to go aside out of 
the council, they conferred among 
themselves, 

16 Saying, * What shall we do to 
these men? for that indeed a 
notable miracle hath been done by 
them is manifest i to all them that 
dwell in Jerusalem; and we can- 
not deny it. 

17 But that it spread no further 
among the people, let us straitly 
threaten them, that they # speak 
henceforth to no man in this 
name. 

18 And they called them, and 
commanded them not to speak 
at all nor teach in the name of 
Jesus. 

19 But Peter and John answered 
and said unto them, k Whether it 
be right in the sight of God to 
hearken unto you more than unto 
God, judge ye. 

20 For l we cannot but speak the 
things which m we have seen and 
heard 

21 So, when they had further 
threatened them, they let them 
go, finding nothing how they might 
punish them, because n of the peo- 
ple: for all men glorified God for 
that ° which was done. 

22 For the man was above forty 
years old on whom this miracle of 
"healing was showed. 

23 % And being let go, ^they 
went to then own company, 
and reported all that the chief 
priests and elders had said unto 
them. 

24 And when they heard that, 
they q lifted up their voice to God 
'with one accord, and said, Lord, 
thou r art God, which hast made 
heaven, and earth, and the sea, 
and all that in them is: 

25 Who by the mouth of thy ser- 
vant David hast said, s Why did 
the heathen rage, and the people 
imagine vain things? 

26 The kings of the earth stood 
up, and the rulers were gathered 
together against the Lord, and 
against his Christ. 

27 For of a truth against 'thy 
holy child Jesus, u whom thou hast 
anointed, both Herod and Pon- 
tius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and 
the people of Israel, were gathered 
together, 

28 For v to do whatsoever thy 
hand and thy counsel determined 
before to be done. 

29 And now, Lord, behold their

servants, w that with all boldness

30 By stretching forth thine hand

ders may be done by y the name

31 And when they had prayed, 
the z place was shaken where they 
were assembed together; and they 
were all filled with the Holy Ghost, 
and they spake the word of God 
with boldness. 

32 \ And the multitude of them 
that believed a were of one heart 
and of one soul: neither 6 said 
any of them that ought of the 
things which he possessed was 
his own; but they had all things 
common. 

33 And with c great power gave 
the apostles d witness of the 
resurrection of the Lord Jesus: 
and great e grace was Upon them 
all 

34 Neither Avas there any among 
them that lacked: 9 iox as many 
as were possessors of lands or 
houses sold them, and brought the 
prices of the things that were 
sold, 

35 And laid them down at the 
apostles' feet: A and distribution 
was made unto every man accord- 
ing as he had need. 

36 And Joses, who by the 
apostles was surnamed Barnabas, 
(which is, being interpreted, The 
son of consolation,) a Levite, and 
of the country of Cyprus, 

37 Having land, *sold it, and 
brought the money, and laid it 
at the apostles' feet. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Ananias and Sapphira at Peter's re- 
buke fall down dead. 17 TUe apostles 
imprisoned, but delivered by an angel. 

BUT a certain man named 
Ananias, with Sapphira his 
wife, sold a possession, 

2 And "kept back part of the 
price, his wife also being privy to 
it, and brought a certain part, and 
laid it at the apostles' feet. 

3 But b Peter said, Ananias, why 
hath Satan c filled thine heart a to 
lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep 
back part of the price of the 
land? 

4 Whiles it remained, was it not 
thine own? and after it was sold, 
was it not in thine own power? 
why hast thou conceived this 
thing in thine heart? thou hast not 
lied unto men, but unto God. 



Death of Ananias and Sapphira. 



ACTS, V. 



An angel delivers the apostles. 



5 And Ananias hearing these 
words d fell down, and gave up the 
ghost: and great fear came on 
all them that heard these things. 

6 And the young men arose, 
wound 6 him up, and carried him 
out, and buried him. 

7 And it was about the space 
of three hours after, when his wife, 
not knowing what was done, came 
in. 

8 And Peter answered unto her, 
Tell me whether ye sold the land 
for so much? And she said, Yea, 
for so much. 

9 Then Peter said unto her, How 
is it that ye have agreed together 
to -''tempt the Spirit of the Lord? 
Behold, the feet of them which 
have buried thy husband are at 
the door, and shall carry thee out. 

10 Then fell she down straight- 
way at his feet, and yielded up the 
ghost: and the young men came 
in, and found her dead, and, carry- 
ing her forth, buried her by her 
husband. 

11 And great fear came upon all 
the church, and upon as many as 
heard these things. 

12 f And ff by the hands of the 
apostles were many signs and won- 
ders wrought among the people; 
(and Mhey were all with one 
accord in Solomon's porch. 

13 And * of the rest durst no man 
join himself to them: <?but the 
people magnified them. 

14 And believers were the more 
added to the Lord, multitudes 
both of men and women;) 

15 Insomuch that they brought 
forth the sick 2 into the streets, and 
laid them on beds and couches, 
that h at the least the shadow of 
Peter passing by might overshadow 
some of them. 

16 There came also a multitude 
out of the cities round about unto 
Jerusalem, bringing *sick folks, 
and them which were vexed with 
unclean spirits: and they were 
healed every one. 

17 \ Then m the high priest rose 
up, and all they that were with 
him, (which is the sect of the Sad- 
ducees,) and were filled with 3 in- 
dignation, 

18 And " laid their hands on the 
apostles, and put them in the com- 
mon prison. 

19 But ° the angel of the Lord by 
night opened the prison doors, and 
brought them forth, and said,

temple to the people p all the words 
of this life. 

21 And when they heard that, 
they entered into the temple early 
in the morning, and taught. q But 
the high priest came, and they 
that were with him, and called 
the council together, and all the 
senate of the children of Israel, 
and sent to the prison to have 
them brought. 

22 But when the officers came, 
and found them not in the prison, 
they returned, and told, 

23 Saying, The prison truly found 
we shut with all safety, and the 
keepers standing without before 
the doors: but when we had open- 
ed, we found no man within. 

24 Now when the high priest r and 
the captain of the temple and the 
chief priests heard these things, 
they doubted of them whereunto 
this would grow. 

25 Then came one and told 
them, saying, Behold, the men 
whom ye put in prison are stand- 
ing in the temple, and teaching 
the people. 

26 Then went the captain with 
the officers, and brought them 
without violence: * for they feared 
the people, lest they should have 
been stoned. 

27 And when they had brought 
them, they set them before the 
council: and the high priest asked 
them, 

28 Saying, 'Did not we straitly 
command you, that ye should not 
teach in this name? and, behold, 
ye have filled Jerusalem with your 
doctrine, and "intend to bring 
this man's blood v upon us. 

29 Then Peter and the other 
apostles answered and said, w We

30 The God of our fathers raised 
up Jesus, whom ye slew and

31 Him y hath God exalted with 
his right hand to be *a Prince and 
a a Saviour, 6 for to give repentance 
to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 

32 And c we are his witnesses of 
these things; and so is also the Holy 
Ghost, whom God hath given to 
them that obey him. 

33 f When they heard that, they 
were cut to the heart, and took 
counsel to slay them.

and commanded to put the apos- 
tles forth a little space; 

35 And said unto them, Ye men 
of Israel, take heed to yourselves 
what ye intend to do as touching 
these men. 

3£ For before these days rose up 
Theudas, boasting himself to be 
somebody; to whom a number of 
men, about four hundred, joined 
themselves: who was slain; and all, 
as many as 4 obeyed him, were scat- 
tered, and brought to nought. 

37 After this man rose up Judas 
of Galilee in the days e of the tax- 
ing, and drew away much people 
after him: he also perished; and 
all, even as many as obeyed him, 
were dispersed. 

38 And now I say unto you, Ee- 
frain from these men, and let them 
alone: for /if this counsel or this 
work be of men, it will come to 
nought: 

39 But 9 if it be of God, ye cannot 
overthrow it; lest haply ye be 
found even h to fight against God. 

40 And to him they agreed: and 
when they had called the apostles, 
and * beaten them, they command- 
ed that they should not speak 
in the name of Jesus, and let 
them go. 

41 And they departed from the 
presence of the council, i rejoicing 
that they were counted worthy to 
suffer shame for his name. 

42 And daily in the temple, and 
in every house, they ceased not to 
teach and preach Jesus Christ

5 And the saying pleased the 
whole multitude: and they chose 
Stephen, a 9 man full of faith and 
of the Holy Ghost, A and Philip, 
and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and 
Timon, and Parmenas, and Ni- 
colas a proselyte of Antioch: 

6 Whom they set before the 
apostles: and when *they had 
prayed, i they laid their hand&.on 
them. 

7 And h the word of God increas- 
ed; and the number of the disci- 
ples multiplied in Jerusalem 
greatly; and a great company l of 
the priests were obedient to the 
faith. 

8 f And Stephen, full of faith 
and power, did great wonders and 
miracles among the people. 

9 Then there arose certain of the 
synagogue, which is called the syna- 
gogue of the Libertines, and Cyren- 
ians, and Alexandrians, and of 
them of Cilicia and of Asia, disput- 
ing with Stephen. 

10 And m they were not able to 
resist the wisdom and the spirit 
by which he spake. 

11 Then w they suborned men, 
which said, We have heard him 
speak blasphemous words against 
Moses, and against God. 

12 And they stirred up the peo- 
ple, and the elders, and the scribes, 
and came upon him, and caught 
him, and brought him to the 
council, 

13 And set up false witnesses, 
which said, This man ceaseth not 
to speak blasphemous words 
against this holy place, and the 
law: 

14 For ° we have heard him say, 
that this Jesus of Nazareth p shall

kindred, and come into the land 
which a I shall show thee. 

4 Then b came he out of the land 
of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in 
Charran: and from thence, when 
his father was dead, he removed 
him into this land, wherein ye 
now dwell. 

5 And he gave him none inherit- 
ance in it, no, not so much as to set 
his foot on: yet he c promised that 
he would give it to him for a pos- 
session, and to his seed after him, 
when as yet he had no child. 

6 And God spake on this wise, 
That d his seed should sojourn in 
a strange land; and that they 
should bring them into bondage, 
and entreat them 6 evil four hun- 
dred years. 

7 And the nation to whom they 
shall be in bondage will I judge, 
said God: and after that shall they 
come forth, and / serve me in this 
place. 

8 And 9 he gave him the cove- 
nant of circumcision : h and so 
Abraham begat Isaac, and circum- 
cised Mm the eighth day; J and 
Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob •?' begat 
the twelve patriarchs. 

9 And * the patriarchs, moved 
with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: 
but l God was with him, 

1 And delivered him out of all 
his afflictions, m and gave him 
favour and wisdom in the sight 
of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he 
made him governor over Egypt 
and all his house. 

11 Now there came a dearth over 
all the land of Egypt and Cha- 
naan, and great affliction: and our 
fathers found no sustenance. 

12 -But when Jacob heard that 
there was corn in Egypt, he sent 
out our fathers first. 

13 And at the second time Joseph 
was made known to his brethren; 
and Joseph's- kindred was made 
known unto Pharaoh. 

14 Then " sent Joseph, and called

promise drew nigh, which God had 
sworn to Abraham, the people 
grew and multiplied in Egypt, 

18 Till another king arose, which 
knew not Joseph. 

19 The same dealt subtilly with 
our kindred, and evil - entreated 
our fathers, so that they cast out 
their young children, to the end 
they might not live. 

20 In £ which time Moses was 
born, and was Exceeding fair, and 
nourished up in his father's house 
three months: 

21 And when he was cast out, 
Pharaoh's daughter took him up, 
and nourished him for her own son. 

22 And Moses was learned in all 
the wisdom of the Egyptians, and 
was u mighty in words and in 
deeds. 

23 And v when he was full forty 
years old, it came into his heart 
to visit his brethren the children 
of Israel. 

24 And seeing one of them suffer 
wrong, he defended him, and 
avenged him that was oppressed, 
and smote the Egyptian: 

25 2 For he supposed his brethren 
would have understood how that 
God by his hand would deliver 
them: but they understood not. 

26 And the next day he showed 
himself unto them as they strove, 
and would have set them at one 
again, saying, Sirs, ye are breth- 
ren; why do ye wrong one to an- 
other? 

27 But he that did his neighbour 
wrong thrust him away, saying, 
Who w made thee a ruler and a 
judge over us? 

28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou 
diddest the Egyptian yesterday? 

29 Then x tied Moses at this say- 
ing, and was a stranger in the land 
of Madian, where he y begat two 
sons. 

30 And when forty years were 
expired, there appeared to him in 
the wilderness of mount Sina z an 
Angel of the Lord in a flame of 
fire in a bush. 

31 When Moses saw it, he won- 
dered at the sight: and as he drew 
near to behold it, the voice of the 
Lord came unto him, 

32 Saying, a Iam the God of thy 
fathers, the God of Abraham, and 
the God of Isaac, and the God of 
Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and 
durst not behold. 

33 Then b said the Lord to him, 
Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for 



Stephen's defence. 



ACTS, VII.

34 I have seen, I have seen the 
affliction of my people which is in 
Egypt, and I have heard their 
groaning, and am come down to 
deliver them. And now come, I 
will send thee into Egypt. 

35 This Moses whom they re- 
fused, saying, Who made thee a 
ruler and a judge? the same did 
God send to be a ruler and a de- 
liverer c hy the hand of the Angel 
which appeared to him in the 
bush. 

36 He d brought them out, after 
that he had showed wonders and 
signs in the land of Egypt, and in 
the Red sea, 6 and in the wilder- 
ness forty years. 

37 This is that Moses which said 
unto the children of Israel, ^A 
Prophet shall the Lord your God 
raise up unto you of your brethren, 
3 like unto me; him 9 shall ye 
hear. 

38 This Ms he that was in the 
church in the wilderness with i the 
Angel which spake to him in the 
mount Sina, and with our fathers: 
who i received the ''lively oracles 
to give unto us: 

39 To whom our fathers would 
not obey, but thrust him from them, 
and in their hearts turned back 
again into Egypt, 

40 Saying l unto Aaron, Make us 
gods to go before us: for as for this 
Moses, which brought us out of the 
land of Egypt, we wot not what is 
become of him. 

41 And they made a calf in those 
days, and offered sacrifice unto the 
idol, and rejoiced in the works of 
their own hands. 

42 Then m God turned, and gave 
them up to worship "'the host 
of heaven; as it is written in 
the book of the Prophets, ° ye 
house of Israel, have ye offered 
to me slain beasts and sacrifices 
by the space of forty years in the 
wilderness? 

43 Yea, ye took up the taber- 
nacle of Moloch, and the star of 
your god Eemphan, figures which 
ye made to worship them: and 
I will carry you away beyond 
Babylon. 

44 Our fathers had the tabernacle 
of witness in the wilderness, as he 
had appointed, 4 speaking unto 
Moses, that y he should make it 
according to the fashion that he 
had seen:

5 Philip planteth the church in Samaria: 
26 he buptizeth an Ethiopian eunuch. 

AND a Saul was consenting unto 
his death. And at that time 
there was a great persecution 
against the church which was at 
Jerusalem: and they b were all 
scattered abroad throughout the 
regions of Judea and Samaria, 
except the apostles. 

2 And devout men carried 
Stephen to his burial, and c made 
great lamentation over him. 

3 As for Saul, d he made havoc of 
the church, entering into every 
house, and haling men and women, 
committed them to prison. 

4 Therefore 6 they that were scat- 
tered abroad went every where 
preaching the word. 

5 % Then t Philip went down to 
the city of Samaria, and preached 
Christ unto them. 

6 And the people with one accord 
gave heed unto those things which 
Philip spake, hearing and seeing 
the miracles which he did. 

7 For ^unclean spirits, crying 
with loud voice, came out of many 
that were possessed with them: and 
many taken with palsies, and that 
were lame, were healed. 

8 And there was great joy in that 
city. 

9 But there was a certain man 
called Simon, which beforetime in 
the same city used u sorcery, and 
bewitched the people of Samaria, 
giving * out that himself was some 
great one: 

10 To whom $ they all gave heed, 
from the least to the greatest, say- 
ing, This man is the great power 
of God. 

11 And to him they had regard, 
because that of long time he 
had bewitched them with sorcer- 
ies: 

12 But when they believed Philip 
preaching the things * concerning 
the kingdom of God, and the name 
of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, 
both men and women. 

13 Then Simon himself l believed 
also: and when he was baptized, 
he continued with Philip, and 
wondered, beholding the 1 miracles 
and signs which were done. 

14 ^ Now when the apostles which 
were at Jerusalem heard that 
Samaria had received the word of 
God, they sent unto them Peter 
and John:

through laying on of the apostles' 
hands the Holy Ghost was given, 
he offered them money, 

19 Saying, Give me also this 
power, that on whomsoever I lay 
hands, he may receive the Holy 
Ghost. 

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy 
money perish with thee, because 
thou r hast thought that s the gift 
of God may be purchased with 
money. 

21 Thou hast neither part nor 
lot in this matter: for thy { heart 
is not right in the sight of God. 

22 Eepent therefore of this thy 
wickedness, and pray God, u if 
perhaps the thought of thine heart 
may be forgiven thee. 

23 For I perceive that thou art 
in the gall * of bitterness, and in 
the bond of iniquity. 

24 Then answered Simon, and 
said, Pray ye w to the Lord for me, 
that none of these things which ye 
have spoken come upon me. 

25 And they, when they had 
testified and preached the word of 
the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, 
and preached the Gospel in many 
villages of the Samaritans. 

26 If And x the angel of the Lord 
spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, 
and go toward the south, unto 
the way that goeth down from 
Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is 
desert. 

27 And he arose and went: and, 
behold, a y man of Ethiopia, an 
eunuch of great authority under 
Candace queen of the Ethiopians, 
who had the charge of all her 
treasure, and * had come to 
Jerusalem for to worship, 

28 Was returning, and sitting in 
his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 

29 Then the Spirit said unto 
Philip, Go near, and join thyself 
to this chariot. 

30 And Philip ran thitherto him, 
and heard him read the prophet 
Esaias, and said, Understandest 
thou what thou readest? 

31 And he said, How can I, ex- 
cept some man should guide me?

ACTS, IX. 



The conversion of Saul. 



And lie desired Philip that he 
would come up and sit -with him. 

32 The place of the Scripture 
which he read was this, a He was 
led as a sheep to the slaughter; 
and like a lamb dumb before his 
shearer, so opened he not his 
mouth: 

33 In his humiliation his judg- 
ment was taken away: and who 
shall declare his generation? for his 
life is taken from the earth, 

34 And the eunuch answered 
Philip, and said, I pray thee, of 
whom speaketh the prophet this? 
of himself, or of some other man? 

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, 
and began l at the same scripture, 
and preached unto him Jesus. 

36 And as they went on their way, 
they came unto a certain water: 
and the eunuch said. See, here is 
water; what c doth hinder me to 
be baptized? 

37 And Philip said, d If thou be- 
lie vest with all thine heart, thou 
mayest. And he answered and 
said, I e believe that Jesus Christ 
is the Son of God. 

38 And he commanded the 
chariot to stand still: and they 
went down both into the water, 
both Philip and the eunuch; and 

| he baptized him. 

! 39 And when they were come up 
out of the water, /the Spirit of the 
Lord caught away Philip, that the 
eunuch saw him no more: and he 
went on his way rejoicing. 
40 But Philip was found 9 at 
Azotus: and passing through he 
preached in all the cities, till he 
came to Cesarea. 

CHAPTEE IX. 

1 Saul, going towards Damascus, is called 
by Christ: 10 Ananias is sent to him, 
and he is baptized, 20 and prmchetk 
Christ. 32 Miracles wrought by Peter. 

AND °Saul, yet breathing out 
threatenings and slaughter 
against the disciples of the Lord, 
went unto the high priest, 

2 And desired of him letters to 
Damascus to the synagogues, that 
if he found any 1 of this way, 
whether they were men or women, 
he might bring them bound unto 
Jerusalem. 

3 And h as he journeyed, he came 
near Damascus: and suddenly 
there shined round about him a 
light from heaven: 

4 And he fell to the earth, and 
heard a voice saying unto him, 
Saul, Saul, why persecutest c thou 
me?

5 And he said, d Who art thou, 
Lord? And the Lord said, I am 
Jesus whom thou persecutest. e It 
is hard for thee to kick against the 
pricks. 

6 And he, trembling and astonish- 
ed, said, Lord, /what wilt thou 
have me to do? And the Lord said 
unto him, Arise, and go into the 
city, and it shah be told thee what 
thou must do. 

7 And 8 the men which journeyed 
with him stood speechless, hearing 
a voice, but seeing no man. 

8 And Saul arose from the earth; 
and when his eyes were opened, he 
saw no man: but they led him by 
the hand, and brought him into 
Damascus. 

9 And he was three days without 
sight, and neither did eat nor 
drink. 

10 ^f And there was a certain 
disciple at Damascus, named Ana- 
nias; and to him said the Lord in 
a vision, Ananias. And he said, 
Behold, I am liere, Lord. 

11 And the Lord said unto him, 
Arise, and go into the street which 
is called Straight, and enquire in 
the house of Judas for one called 
Saul, of h Tarsus: for, behold, he 
prayeth, 

12 And hath seen in a vision a 
man named Ananias coming in, 
and putting his hand on him, that 
he might receive his sight. 

13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, 
I have heard by many of this man, 
how much evil he hath done to 
thy saints at Jerusalem: 

14 And here he hath authority 
from the chief priests to bind all 
that » call on thy name. 

15 But the Lord said unto him, 
Go thy way: for i he is a chosen 
vessel unto me, to bear my name 
before * the Gentiles, and * kings, 
and the clrildren of Israel: 

16 For '"I will show him how 
great things he must suffer for my 
name's sake. 

17 And " Ananias went his way, 
and entered into the house; and 
putting his hands on him, said, 
Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, 
that appeared unto thee in the 
way as thou earnest, hath sent me, 
that thou mightest receive thy 
sight, and ° be hlled with the Holy 
Ghost. 

18 And immediately there fell 
from his eyes as it had been scales: 
and he received sight forthwith, 
and arose, and was baptized.

ACTS, X.

19 And when he had received 
meat, he was strengthened. p Then 
was Saul certain days with the 
disciples which were at Damascus. 

20' And straightway he preached 
Christ in the synagogues, q that he 
is the Son of God. 

21 But all that heard him were 
amazed, and said, r Is not this he 
that destroyed them which called 
on this name in Jerusalem, and 
came hither for that intent, that 
he might bring them bound unto 
the chief priests? 

22 But Saul increased the more 
in strength, and s confounded the 
Jews which dwelt at Damascus, 
proving that this is very Christ. 

23 ^ And after that many days 
were fulfilled, ' the Jews took 
counsel to kill him: 

24 But their laying await was 
known of Saul. And they watch- 
ed the gates day and night to kill 
him. 

25 Then the disciples took him 
by night, and u let him down by 
the wall in a basket. 

26 And v when Saul was come to 
Jerusalem, he assayed to join 
himself to the disciples : but they 
were all afraid of him, and be- 
lieved not that he was a disciple. 

27 But w Barnabas took him, and 
brought him to the apostles, and 
declared unto them how he had 
seen the Lord in the way, and 
that he had spoken to him, and 
how he had preached boldly at 
Damascus in the name of Jesus. 

28 And he was with them com- 
ing in and going out at Jerusa- 
lem. 

29 And he spake x boldly in the 
name of the Lord Jesus, and dis- 
puted against the * Grecians: f but 
they went about to slay him. 

30 Which when the brethren 
knew, they brought him down to 
Cesarea, and sent him forth to 
Tarsus. 

31 Then ° had the churches rest 
throughout all Judea and Galilee 
and Samaria, and were edified; 
and walking in the fear of the 
Lord, and in the comfort of the 
Holy Ghost, were multiplied. 

32 \ And it came to pass, as Peter 
passed throughout b all quarters, he 
came down also to the saints 
which dwelt at Lydda. 

33 And there he found a certain 
man named Eneas, which had 
kept his bed eight years, and was 
sick of the palsy.

34 And Peter said unto him, 
Eneas, c Jesus Christ maketh thee 
whole: arise, and make thy bed. 
And he arose immediately. 

35 And all that dwelt in Lydda 
and d Saron saw him, and * turned 
to the Lord. 

36 \ Now there was at Joppa a 
certain disciple named Tabitha, 
which by interpretation is called 
2 Dorcas: this woman was full / of 
good works and alms-deeds which 
she did. 

37 And it came to pass in those 
days, that she was sick, and died : 
whom when they had washed, 
they laid her in 9 an upper cham- 
ber. 

38 And forasmuch as Lydda was 
nigh to Joppa, and the disciples 
had heard that Peter was there, 
they sent unto him two men, de- 
siring him that he would not 3 delay 
to come to them. 

39 Then Peter arose and went 
with them. When he was come, 
they brought him into the upper 
chamber: and all the widows stood 
by him weeping, and showing the 
coats and garments which Dorcas 
made while she was with them. 

40 But Peter h put them all forth, 
and kneeled * down, and prayed; 
and turning him to the body i said, 
Tabitha, arise. And she opened 
her eyes: and when she saw Peter, 
she sat up. 

41 And he gave her his hand, and 
lifted her up; and when he had 
called the saints and widows, he 
presented her alive. 

42 And it was known through- 
out all Joppa; k and many be- 
lieved in the Lord. 

43 And it came to pass, that he 
tanied many days in { Joppa with 
one Simon n a tanner. 

CHAPTEK X. 

1 Cornelius sendeth for Peter. 34 Peter 
preacheth. 44 The Holy Ghost falleth on 
the hearers: 48 they are baptized. 

THEEE was a certain man in 
Cesarea called Cornelius, a 
centmion of the band called the 
Italian band, 
24* devout man, and one that 
feared God with all his house, 
which gave much alms to the 
people, and prayed to God alway. 

3 He h saw in a vision evidently, 
about the ninth hour of the day, 
an c angel of God coming in to 
him, and saying unto him, Cor- 
nelius. 

4 And when he looked on him r 



P tier's vision of the unclean beasts. ACTS, X. Hepreacheth the Gospel to Cornelius. 



he was afraid, and said, Whatsis 
it, Lord ? And he said unto him, 
Thy prayers and thine alms are 
come up for d a memorial before 
God. 

5 And now send men to Joppa, 
and call for one Simon, whose sur- 
name is Peter. 

6 He lodgeth with one e Simon a 
tanner, whose house is by the sea- 
side: he / shall tell thee what thou 
oughtest to do. 

7 And when the angel which 
spake unto Cornelius was depart- 
ed, he called two of his household 
servants, and a devout soldier of 
them that waited on him continu- 
ally; 

8 And when he had declared all 
these things unto them, he sent 
them to Joppa. 

9 % On the morrow, as they went 
on their journey, and drew nigh 
unto the city, Peter went up upon 
the house-top to pray about g the 
sixth hour: 

10 And he became very hungry, 
and would have eaten: but while 
they made ready, he fell into a 
trance, 

11 And A saw heaven opened, and 
a certain vessel descending unto 
him, as it had been a great sheet 
knit at the four corners, and let 
down to the earth: 

12 Wherein were all manner of 
four-footed beasts of the earth, and 
wild beasts, and creeping things, 
and fowls of the air. 

13 And there came a voice to 
him, Eise, Peter; kill, and eat. 

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; 
for * I have never eaten any thing 
that is common or unclean. 

15 And the voice spake unto him 
again the second time,*" What God 
hath cleansed, that call not thou 
common. 

16 This was done thrice: and the 
vessel was received up again into 
heaven. 

17 Now, while Peter doubted in 
himself what this vision which he 
had seen should mean, behold, the 
men which were sent from Cor- 
nelius had made enquiry for 
Simon's house, and stood before 
the gate, 

18 And called, and asked whether 
Simon, which was surnamed Peter, 
were lodged there. 

19 While Peter thought on the 
vision, the Spirit * said unto him, 
Behold, three men seek thee. 

20 Arise l therefore, and get thee

down, and go with them, doubt- 
ing nothing: for I have sent them. 

21 Then Peter went down t6 the 
men which were sent unto him 
from Cornelius, and said, Behold, 
I am he whom ye seek: whatw 
the cause wherefore ye are come? 

22 And they said, Cornelius the 
centurion, a just man, and one 
that feareth God, and of m good 
report among all the nation of the 
Jews, was warned from God by an 
holy angel to send for thee into 
his house, and to hear words of 
thee. 

23 Then called he them in, and 
lodged them. And on the morrow 
Peter went away with them, and 
certain brethren from Joppa ac- 
companied him. 

24 And the morrow after they 
entered into Cesarea. And Cor- 
nelius waited for them, and had 
called together his kinsmen and 
near friends. 

25 And as Peter was coming in, 
Cornelius met him, and fell down' 
at his feet, and worshipped him. 

26 But Peter took him up, saying, 
Stand n up; I myself also am a 
man. 

27 And as he talked with him, 
he went in, and found many that 
were come together. 

28 And he said unto them, Ye 
know how that ° it is an luolawful 
thing for a man that is a Jew to 
keep company, or come unto one 
of another nation; but p God hath 
showed me that I should not call 
any man common or unclean. 

29 Therefore came I unto you 
without gainsaying, as q soon as I 
was sent for: I ask therefore for 
what intent ye have sent for me? 

30 And Cornelius said, Four days 
ago I was fasting until this hour; 
and at the ninth hour I prayed 
in my house, and, behold, r a man 
stood before * me in bright cloth- 
ing* 

31 And said, Cornelius, ' thy 
prayer is heard, u and thine alms 
are had in remembrance in the 
sight of God. 

32 Send therefore to Joppa, and 
call hither Simon, whose surname 
is Peter; he is lodged in the house 
of one Simon a tanner by the sea- 
side : who, when he cometh, shall 
speak unto thee. 

33 Immediately therefore I sent 
to thee; and thou hast well done 
that thou art come. Now there- 
fore are we all here present before 



Peter baptizeth Cornelius. 



ACTS, XI. He shows why he went to the Gentiles. 



God, to hear all things that are 
commanded thee of God. 

34 % Then Peter opened his 
mouth, and said, " Of a truth I 
perceive that God is no respecter 
of persons: 

35 But w in every nation he that 
feareth him, and worketh right- 
eousness, is accepted with him. 

36 The word which God sent 
unto the children of Israel, preach- 
ing * peace by Jesus Christ: ( y he 
is Lord of all:) 

37 That word, / sap, ye know, 
which was published throughout 
all Judea, and began from Galilee, 
after the baptism which John 
preached; 

38 How z God anointed Jesus of 
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and 
with power: who went about doing 
good, and healing all that were 
oppressed of the devil: for a God 
was with him. 

39 And we are witnesses of all 
things which he did both in the 
land of the Jews, and in Jerusa- 
lem; whom they slew and hanged 
on a tree: 

40 Him God raised up the third 
day, and showed him openly; 

41 Not 6 to all the people, but 
unto witnesses chosen before of 
God, even to us, who c did eat and 
drink with him after he rose from 
the dead. 

42 And d he commanded us to 
preach unto the people, and to 
testify e that it is he which was 
ordained of God to be the Judge 
of/ quick and dead. 

43 To 9 him give all the prophets 
witness, that through his name 
whosoever believeth in him shall 
receive remission of sins. 

44 <H While Peter yet spake these 
words, the Holy Ghost fell on all 
them which heard the word. 

45 And they of the circumcision 
which believed were astonished, 
as many as came with Peter, be- 
cause that on the Gentiles also 
was poured out the gift of the Holy 
Ghost. 

46 For they heard them speak 
with tongues, and magnify God. 
Then answered Peter, 

47 Can any man forbid water, 
that these should not be baptized, 
which have received the Holy 
Ghost as well as we? 

48 And he commanded them to 
be baptized in the name of the 
Lord. Then prayed they him to 
tarry certain days.

CHAPTER XL 

1 Peter accused for going to the Gentiles. 
19 The Gospel preached in many places. 
27 Great dearth foretold. 

AND the apostles and brethren 
that were in Judea heard that 
the Gentiles a had also received 
the word of God. 

2 And when Peter was come up 
to Jerusalem, 6 they that were of 
the circumcision contended with 
him, 

3 Saying, e Thou wentest in to 
men uncircumcised, and didst eat 
with them. 

4 But Peter rehearsed the matter 
from the beginning, and expound- 
ed it d by order unto them, say- 
ing, 

5 I * was in the city of Joppa 
praying: and in a trance I saw a 
vision, A certain vessel descend, 
as it had been a great sheet, let 
down from heaven by four corners; 
and it came even to me: 

6 Upon the which when I had 
fastened mine eyes, I considered, 
and saw four-footed beasts of the 
earth, and wild beasts, and creep- 
ing things, and fowls of the 
air. 

7 And 1 heard a voice saying 
unto me, Arise, Peter; slay, and 
eat. 

8 But I said, f Not so, Lord : for 
nothing common or unclean hath 
at any time entered into my 
mouth. 

9 But the voice answered me 
again from heaven, What God 
hath cleansed, that call not thou 
common. 

10 And this was done three times: 
and all were drawn up again into 
heaven. 

11 And, behold, immediately 
there were three men already come 
unto the house where I was, sent 
from Cesarea unto me. 

12 And 9 the Spirit bade me go 
with them, nothing doubting. 
Moreover these h six brethren 
accompanied me, and we entered 
into the man's house: 

13 And *he showed us how he 
had seen an angel in his house, 
which stood and said unto him, 
Send men to Joppa, and call for 
Simon, whose surname is Peter; 

14 Who shall tell thee words, 
whereby thou and all thy house 
shall be saved. 

15 And as I began to speak, the 
Holy Ghost fell on them, i as on 
us at the beginning,

16 Then remembered I the word 
of the Lord, how that he said, 
John n indeed baptized with wa- 
ter; hut l ye shall be baptized with 
the Holy Ghost. 

17 Forasmuch m then as God gave 
them the like gift as he did unto us, 
who believed on the Lord Jesus 
Christ, what "was I, that I could 
withstand God? 

18 When they heard these things, 
they held their peace, and glorified 
God, saying, Then ° hath God also 
to the Gentiles granted repentance 
unto life. 

19 ^ Now p they which were scat- 
tered abroad upon the persecution 
that arose about Stephen travelled 
as far as Phenice : and Cyprus, and 
Antioch, preaching the word to 
none but unto the Jews only. 

20 And some of them were men 
of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, 
when they were come to Antioch, 
spake q unto the Grecians, preach- 
ing r the Lord Jesus. 

21 And s the hand of the Lord 
was with them: and a great num- 
ber believed, and turned f unto 
the Lord. 

22 Tf Then tidings of these things 
came unto the ears of the church 
which was in Jerusalem: and they 
sent forth u Barnabas, that he 
should go as far as Antioch. 

23 Who, when he came, and had 
seen the grace of God, was glad, 
and v exhorted them all, that with 
purpose of heart they would 
cleave unto w the Lord. 

24 For he was a good man, and 
full of the Holy Ghost and of 
faith: x and much people was add- 
ed unto the Lord. 

25 Then departed Barnabas to 
Tarsus, y for to seek Saul: 

26 And when he had found him, 
he brought him unto Antioch. 
And it came to pass, that a whole 
year they assembled themselves 
1 with the church, and taught 
much people. And the disciples 
were called Christians first in An- 
tioch. 

27 % And in these days z came 
prophets from Jerusalem unto 
Antioch. 

28 And there stood up one of 
them named Agabus, a and signi- 
fied by the Spirit that there should 
be great dearth throughout all the 
world: which came to pass in the 
days of Claudius Cesar. 

29 Then the disciples, every man 
according to his ability, deter-

CHAPTER XIL 

1 King Herod persecuteth the Christians, 
killeth James, and imprisoneth Peter; 
whom an angel dclivereth upon the 
prayers of the church. 20 Miserable 
death of Herod. 

NOW about that time Herod 
the king x stretched forth his 
hands a to vex certain of the 
church. 

2 And he killed James Hhe 
brother of John with the sword. 

3 And because he saw it pleased 
the Jews, he proceeded further to 
take Peter also. (Then were c the 
days of unleavened bread.) 

4 And d when he had appre- 
hended him, he put him in prison, 
and delivered him to four quater- 
nions of soldiers to keep him; in- 
tending after Easter to bring him 
forth to the people. 

5 Peter therefore was kept in 
prison: but 2 prayer was made 
without ceasing of the church unto 
God for him. 

6 And when Herod would have 
brought him forth, the same night 
Peter was sleeping between two 
soldiers, bound with two chains: 
and the keepers before the door 
kept the prison. 

7 And, behold, e the angel of the 
Lord came upon him, and a fight 
shined in the prison: and he smote 
Peter on the side, and raised him 
up, saying, Arise up quickly. 
And his chains fell off from his 
hands. 

8 And the angel said unto him, 
Gird thyself, and bind on thy san- 
dals. And so he did. And he 
saith unto him, Cast thy garment 
about thee, and follow me. 

9 And he went out, and followed 
him; and /wist not that it was 
true which was done by the angel; 
but thought he ° saw a vision. 

10 When they were past the first 
and the second ward, they came 
unto the iron gate that leadeth 
unto the city; which h opened to 
them of his own accord: and they 
went out, and passed on through 
one street; and forthwith the an- 
gel departed from him. 

11 And when Peter was come to 
himself, he said, Now I know of a 
surety, that *the Lord hath sent 
his angel, and J'hath delivered 
me out of the hand of Herod, and 



Miserable death of Herod.

from all the expectation of the 
people of the Jews. 

12 And when he had considered 
the thing, he *came to the house 
of Mary the mother of * John, 
whose surname was Mark; where 
many were gathered together pray, 
ing. 

] 3 And as Peter knocked at the 
door of the gate, a damsel came 
3 to hearken, named Khoda. 

14 And when she knew Peter's 
voice, she opened not the gate 
for gladness, but ran in, and 
told how Peter stood before the 
gate. 

15 And they said unto her, Thou 
art mad. But she constantly af- 
firmed that it was even so. Then 
said they, It m is his angel. 

16 But Peter continued knock- 
ing: and when they had opened 
the door, and saw him, they were 
astonished. 

17 But he, beckoning unto them 
with the hand to hold their peace, 
declared unto them how the Lord 
had brought him out of the prison. 
And he said, Go show these things 
unto James, and to the brethren. 
And he departed, and went into 
another place. 

18 Now as soon as it was day, 
there was no small stir among the 
soldiers, what was become of 
Peter. 

19 And when Herod had sought 
for him, and found him not, he 
examined the keepers, and com- 
manded that they should be put 
to death. And he went down 
from Judea to Cesarea, and there 
abode. 

20 ^ And Herod 4 was highly dis- 
pleased with them of Tyre and 
Sidon: but they came with one 
accord to him, and, having made 
Blastus 6 the king's chamberlain 
their friend, desired peace; because 
their n country was nourished by 
the king's country. 

21 And upon a set day Herod, 
arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon 
his throne, and made an oration 
unto them. 

22 And the people gave a shout, 
saying, ° It is the voice of a god, 
and not of a man. 

23 And immediately the angel of 
! the Lord p smote him, because q he 

! gave not God the glory: and he 
i was eaten of worms, and gave up 
j the ghost.

25 And Barnabas and Saul re-

had fulfilled their 6 ministry, * and 
took with them John, whose sur- 
name was Mark. 

CHAPTEE XIII. 

1 Paul and Barnabas sent to the Gentiles. 
42 The Gentiles believe. 44 The Jews 
blaspheme, 50 and raise a persecution. 

NOW there were ° in the church 
that was at Antioch certain 
prophets and teachers; as h Barna- 
bas, and Simeon that was called 
Niger, and Lucius c of Cyrene, and 
Manaen, 1 which had been brought 
up with Herod the tetrarch, and 
Saul. 

2 As they ministered to the Lord, 
and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, 
Separate d me Barnabas and Saul 
for the work 6 whereunto I have 
called them. 

3 And when they had fasted and 
prayed, and laid their hands on 
them, they sent them away. 

4 \ So they, being sent forth by 
the Holy Ghost, departed unto 
Seleucia; and from thence they 
sailed to / Cyprus. 

5 And when they were at Salamis, 
they preached the word of God in 
the synagogues of the Jews: and 
they had also g John to their mini- 
ster. 

6 And when they had gone 
through the isle unto Paphos, they 
found a certain sorcerer, a false 
prophet, a Jew, whose name was 
Bar-jesus: 

7 Which was with the deputy of 
the country, Sergius Paulus, a pru- 
dent man; who called for Barnabas 
and Saul, and desired to hear the 
word of God. 

8 But h Elymas the sorcerer (for 
so is his name by interpretation) 
withstood them, seeking to turn 
away the deputy from the faith. 

9 Then 2 Saul, (who also is called 
s Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, 
set his eyes on him, 

10 And said, full of all subtilty 
and all mischief, * thou child of 
the devil, thou enemy of all right- 
eousness, wilt thou not cease to 
pervert the right ways of the 
Lord? 

11 And now, behold, i the hard 
of the Lord is upon thee, and thou 
shalt be blind, not seeing the sun 
for a season. And immediately 
there fell on him a mist and a 
darkness; and he went about 
seeking some to lead him by the 
hand.

12 Then the deputy, when he 
saw what was 'done, believed, 
being astonished at the doctrine 
of the Lord. 

13 % Now when Paid and his 
company loosed from Paphos, they 
came to Perga in Pamphylia: and 
John k departing from them ^re- 
turned to Jerusalem. 

14 % But when they departed 
from Perga, they came to Antioch 
in Pisidia, and went into the 
synagogue on the sabbath day, 
and sat down. 

15 And l after the reading of 
the Law and the Prophets, the 
rulers of the synagogue sent unto 

j them, saying, Ye men and brethren, 
! if ye OT have any word of exhorta- 
tion for the people, say on. 

16 Then Paul stood up, and 
beckoning with his hand, said, 
Men of Israel, and ye that fear 
God, give audience. 

17 The God of this people of Is- 
rael chose our fathers, and exalted 
the people when they dwelt as 
strangers in the land of Egypt, and 
with an high arm brought he them 
out of it. 

18 And about the time of forty 
years i suffered he their manners 
in the wilderness. 

19 And when he had destroyed 
seven nations in the land of Cha- 
naan, he divided their land to 
them by lot. 

20 And after that he gave unto 
them judges about the space of 
four hundred and fifty years, until 
Samuel the prophet. 

21 And afterward they desired a 
king: and God gave unto them 
Saul the son of Cis, a man of the 
tribe of Benjamin, by the space of 
forty years. 

22 And n when he had removed 
him, he raised up unto them Da- 
vid to be their king; to whom also 
he gave testimony, and said, I 
have found David the son of Jesse, 
a man after mine own heart, which 
shall fulfil all my will. 

23 Of ° this man's seed hath 
God, according to p Ms promise, 
raised unto Israel q a Saviour, Je- 
sus: 

24 When John had first preached 
before his coming the baptism of 
repentance to all the people of 
Israel. 

25 And as John fulfilled his 
course, he said, Whom think ye 
that I am ? I am not he. But, 
behold, there cometh one after me,

whose shoes of his feet I am not 
worthy to loose. 

26 Men and brethren, children of 
the stock of Abraham, and whoso- 
ever among you feareth God, to 
you is the word of this salvation 
sent. 

27 For they that dwell at Jerusa- 
lem, and their rulers, r because 
they knew him not, nor yet the 
voices of the Prophets which are 
read every sabbath day, they have i 
fulfilled them in condemning him. i 

28 And though they found no 
cause of death in him, yet desired 
they Pilate that he should be ! 
slain. 

29 And when they had fulfilled 
all that was written of him, they 
took him down from the tree, and 
laid him in a sepulchre. 

30 But 8 God raised him from the 
dead: 

31 And ? he was seen many days 
of them which came up with birn 
from Galilee to Jerusalem, who 
are his witnesses unto the people. 

32 And we declare unto you glad 
tidings, how that the u promise 
which was made unto the fathers, 

33 God hath fulfilled the same 
unto us their children, in that he 
hath raised up Jesus again; as it is 
also written in the second psalm, 
Thou v art my Son, this day have 
I begotten thee. 

34 And as concerning that he 
raised him up from the dead, now 
no more to return to corruption, 
he said on this wise, I will give 
you the sure 5 mercies of David. 

35 Wherefore he saith also in 
another psalm, w Thou shalt not 
suffer thine Holy One to see cor- 
ruption. 

36 For David, 6 after he had 
served his own generation by the 
will of God, fell on sleep, and fvas 
laid unto his fathers, and saw cor- 
ruption: 

37 But he, whom God raised 
again, saw no corruption. 

38 \ Be it known unto you there- 
fore, men and brethren, x that 
through this man is preached unto 
you the forgiveness of sins : 

39 And y by hi-m all that believe 
are justified from all things, from 
which ye could not be justified 
by the law of Moses. 

40 Beware therefore, lest that come 
upon you which is spoken of in 
the z Prophets; 

41 Behold, ye despisers, and 
wonder, and perish: for I work a

work in your days, a work which 
ye shall in no wise believe, though 
a man declare it unto you. 

42 ^f And when the Jews were 
gone out of the synagogue, the 
Gentiles besought that these words 
might be preached to them the 
7 next sabbath. 

43 Now when the congregation 
was broken up, many of the Jews 
and religious proselytes followed 
Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking 
to them, persuaded them to con- 
tinue in a the grace of God. 

44 % And the next sabbath day 
came almost the whole city to- 
gether to hear the word of God. 

45 But when the Jews saw the 
multitudes, they were filled with 
envy, and h spake against those 
things which were spoken by Paul, 
contradicting and blaspheming. 

46 Then Paul and Barnabas 
waxed bold, and said, c It was 
necessary that the word of God 
should first have been spoken to 
you: but d seeing ye put it from 
you, and judge yourselves un- 
worthy of everlasting life, lo, we 
turn to the Gentiles. 

47 For so hath the Lord com- 
manded us, saying, *I have set 
thee to be a light of the Gentiles, 
that thou shouldest be for salva- 
tion unto the ends of the earth. 

48 And when the Gentiles heard 
this, they were glad, and glorified 
the word of the Lord : / and as 
many as were ordained to eternal 
life believed. 

49 And the word of the Lord was 
published throughout all the re- 
gion 

50 But the Jews stirred up the 
devout and honourable women, 
and the chief men of the city, and 
raised 9 persecution against Paul 
and Barnabas, and expelled them 
out of their coasts. 

51 But A they shook off the dust 
of their feet against them, and 
came unto Iconium. 

52 And the disciples f were filled 
with joy, and with the Holy 
Ghost. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

1 Paul and Barnabas are persecuted. 8 
Paul healing a cripple at Lystra, they 
are reputed as gods by the people. 19 
Paul is stoned, etc. 

AND it came to pass in Iconium, 
that they went both together 
into the synagogue of the Jews, 
and so spake, that a great a multi- 
tude both of the Jews and also of 
the Greeks believed.

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred 
up the Gentiles, and made their 
minds evil affected against the 
brethren. 

3 Long time therefore abode they 
speaking boldly in the Lord, 
which h gave testimony unto the 
word of his grace, and granted 
signs and wonders to be done by 
their hands. 

4 But the multitude of the city 
was divided: and part held with 
the Jews, and part with the apos- 
tles. 

5 And when there was an assault 
made both of the Gentiles, and 
also of the Jews with their rulers, 
to c use them despitefully, and to 
stone them, 

6 They were ware of it, and d fled 
unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of 
Lycaonia, and unto the region that 
lieth round about: 

7 And there they preached the 
GospeL 

8 \ And e there sat a certain man 
at Lystra, impotent in his feet, 
being a cripple from his mother's 
womb, who never had walked: 

9 The same heard Paul speak: 
who stedfastly beholding him, and 
perceiving / that he had faith to 
be healed, 

10 Said with a loud voice, 9 Stand 
upright on thy feet. And he leaped 
and walked. 

11 And when the people saw 
what Paul had done, they lifted 
up their voices, saying in the speech 
of Lycaonia, h The gods are come 
down to us in the likeness of 
men. 

12 And they called Barnabas, 
Jupiter; and Paul, Mercirrius, be- 
cause he was the chief speaker. 

13 Then the priest of Jupiter, 
which was before their city, brought 
oxen and garlands unto the gates, 
and * would have done sacrifice 
with the people. 

14 Which when the apostles, Bar- 
nabas and Paul, heard o/, / they 
rent their clothes, and ran in 
among the people, crying out, 

15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye 
these things? * We also are men 
of like passions with you, and 
preach unto you that ye should 
turn from l these vanities m unto 
the living God, n which made 
heaven, and earth, and the sea, 
and all things that are therein: 

16 Who ° in times past suffered 
all nations to walk in their own 



Paul stoned by the Jews.

17 Nevertheless p he left not him- 
self without witness, in that he 
did good, and q gave us rain from 
heaven, and fruitful seasons, .fill- 
ing our hearts with food and 
gladness. 

18 And with these savings scarce 
restrained they the people, that 
they had not done sacrifice unto 
them. 

19 f And r there came thither 
certain Jews from Antioch and 
Iconium, who persuaded the peo- 

Sle, s and, having stoned Paul, 
rew him out of the city, supposing 
he * had been dead. 

20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood 
round about him, he rose up, and 
came into the city: and the next 
day he departed with Barnabas to 
Derbe. 

21 And when they had preached 
the Gospel to that city, and x had 
taught many, they returned again 
to Lystra, and to Iconium, and 
Antioch, 

22 Confirming the souls of the 
disciples, and exhorting them to 
continue in the faith, and that 
we must w through much tribula- 
tion enter into the kingdom of 
God. 

23 And when they had "ordained 
them elders in every church, and 
had prayed with fasting, they 
nommended them to the Lord, 
on whom they believed. 

24 And after they had passed 
throughout Pisidia, they came to 
Pamphylia. 

25 And when they had preached 
the word in Perga, they went down 
into Attalia; 

26 And thence sailed to Antioch, 
from whence w they had been 
recommended to the grace of God 
for the work which they fulfilled. 

27 And when they were come, 
and had gathered the church to- 
gether, they rehearsed all that God 
had done with them, and how he 
had* opened the door of faith unto 
the Gentiles. 

28 And there they abode long 
time with the disciples.

2 When therefore Paul and Bar- 
nabas had no small dissension and 
disputation with them, they de- 
termined that d Paul and Barnabas, 
and certain other of them, should 
go up to Jerusalem unto the apos- 
tles and elders about this ques- 
tion. 

3 And "being brought on their 
way by the church, they passed 
through Phenice and Samaria, 
declaring /the conversion of the 
Gentiles: and they caused great joy 
unto all the brethren. 

4 And when they were come to 
Jerusalem, they were received of 
the church, and of the apostles 
and elders, and they declared ail 
things that God had done with 
them. 

5 f But there x rose up certain of 
the sect of the Pharisees which 
believed, saying, That it was 
needful to circumcise them, and 
to command them to keep the law 
of Moses. 

6 And the apostles and elders 
came together for to consider of 
this matter. 

7 And when there had been 
much disputing, Peter rose up, 
and said unto them, Men and 
brethren, ye know how that a 
good while ago God made choice 
among us, that the Gentiles by my 
mouth should hear the word of the 
Gospel, and believe. 

8 And God, g which knoweth the 
hearts, bare them witness, h giving 
them the Holy Ghost, even as he 
did unto us; 

9 And * put no difference between 
us and them, i purifying their 
hearts by faith. 

10 Now therefore why tempt ye 
God, to *put a yoke upon the neck 
of the disciples, which neither our 
fathers nor we were able to bear? 

11 But l we believe that through 
the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ 
we shall be saved, even as they. 

12^ Then all the multitude kept 
silence, and gave audience to Bar- 
nabas and Paul, declaring what 
miracles and wonders God had 
wrought among the Gentiles by 
them. 

13 IT And after they had held 
their peace, James answered, 
saying, Men and brethren, hearken 
unto me: 

14 Simeon hath declared how 
God at the first did visit the Gen- 
tiles, to take out of them a people 
for his name. 



Letter of the council to tlie Gentiles. ACTS, XVI. 



Paul circumciseth Timothy. 



15 And to this agree the " words 
of the prophets; as it is written, 

16 After ° this I will return, and 
will build again the tabernacle of 
David, which is fallen down ; and I 
will build again the ruins thereof, 
and I will set it up; 

17 That the residue of men might 
seek after the Lord, and all the 
Gentiles, upon whom my name is 
called, saith the Lord, who doeth 
all these things. 

18 Known unto God are all Ms 
works from the beginning of the 
world. 

19 Wherefore my sentence is, that 
we trouble not them which from 
among the Gentiles p are turned to 
God: 

20 But that we write unto them, 
that they abstain q from pollutions 
of idols, and from r fornication, 
and from things strangled, * and 
from blood. 

21 For Moses of old time hath in 
every city them that preach him, 
being { read in the synagogues 
every sabbath day. 

22 *(l Then pleased it the apostles 
and elders, with the whole church, 
to send chosen men of their own 
company to Antioch with Paul 
and Barnabas; namely, Judas sur- 
named u Barsabas, and Silas, chief 
men among the brethren: 

23 And they wrote letters by them 
after this manner; The apostles 
and elders and brethren send greet- 
ing unto the brethren which are of 
the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria 
and Cilicia: 

24 Forasmuch as we have heard, 
that certain v which went out from 
us have troubled you with words, 
subverting your souls, saying, Ye 
must be circumcised, and keep the 
law; to whom we gave no such 
commandment : 

25 It seemed good unto us, being 
assembled with one accord, to send 
chosen men unto you with our 
beloved Barnabas and Paul, 

26 Men w that have hazarded their 
lives for the name of our Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

27 We have sent therefore Judas 
and Silas, who shall also tell you 
the same things by 2 mouth. 

28 For it seemed good to x the 
Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon 
you no greater burden than these 
necessary things; 

29 That y ye abstain from meats 
offered to idols, and z from blood, 
and from things strangled, and

SO So when they were dismissed, 
they came to Antioch: and when 
they had gathered the multitude 
together, they delivered the epistle: 

31 Which when they had read, 
they rejoiced for the 3 consolation. 

32 And Judas and Silas, being 
a prophets also themselves, h ex- 
horted the brethren with many 
words, and confirmed them. 

33 And after they had tarried 
there a space, they were let c go in 
peace from the brethren unto the 
apostles. 

34 Notwithstanding it pleased 
Silas to abide there still. 

35 Paul d also and Barnabas con- 
tinued in Antioch, teaching and 
preaching the word of the Lord, 
with many others also. 

36 % And some days after, Paul 
said unto Barnabas, Let us go 
again and visit our brethren e in 
every city where we have preached 
the wora of the Lord, and see how 
they do. 

37 And Barnabas determined to 
take with them •' John, whose sur- 
name was Mark. 

38 But Paul thought not good to 
take him with them, 5 who departed 
from them from Pamphylia, and 
went not with them to the work. 

39 And the contention was so 
sharp between them, that they de- 
parted asunder one from the other : 
and so Barnabas took Mark, and 
sailed unto Cyprus ; 

40 And Paul chose Silas, and de- 
parted, being recommended by the 
brethren unto the grace of God. 

41 And he went through Syria and 
Cilicia, confirming the churches.

THEN came he to ° Derbe and 
Lystra : and, behold, a certain 
disciple was there, h named Timo- 
theus, (the son of a certain woman, 
which was a Jewess, and believed; 
but his father was a Greek:) 

2 Which c was well reported of by 
the brethren that were at Lystra 
and Iconium. 

3 Him would Paul have to go 
forth with him; and d took and 
circumcised him because of the 
Jews which were in those quarters", 
for they knew all that his father 
was a Greek.

4 And as they went through the 
cities they delivered them the de- 
crees for to keep, that 6 were or- 
dained of the apostles and elders 
which were at Jerusalem. 

5 And f so were the churches 
established in the faith, and in- 
creased in number daily. 

6 Now when they had gone 
throughout Phrygia and the region 
of Galatia, and were forbidden of 
the Holy Ghost to preach the word 
in Asia, 

7 After they were come to Mysia, 
they assayed to go into Bithynia : 
but the Spirit suffered them not. 

8 And they passing by Mysia 
came down to 9 Troas. 

9 51 And a h vision appeared to 
Paul in the night : There stood a 
man of Macedonia, and prayed 
him, saying, Come over into Mace- 
donia, and help us. 

10 And after he had seen the vi- 
rion, immediately we endeavoured 
to * go into Macedonia, assuredly 
gathering that the Lord had called 
us for to preach the Gospel unto 
them. 

11 Therefore loosing from Troas, 
we came with a straight course to 
Samothracia, and the next day to 
Neapolis ; 

12 And from thence to •?* Philippi, 
Which is a the chief city of that part 
of Macedonia, and a colony: and we 
were in that city abiding certain 
days. 

13 And on the 2 sabbath we went 
out of the city by a river-side, 
where prayer was wont to be 
made; and we sat down, and 
spake unto the women which 
resorted thither. 

14 51 And a certain woman named 
Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city 
of h Thyatira, which worshipped 
God, heard us: whose heart l the 
Lord opened, that she attended 
unto the things which were spoken 
of Paul 

15 And when she was baptized, 
and her household, she besought 
zis, saying, If ye have judged me to 
be faithful m to the Lord, come into 
my house, and abide there. And 
she n constrained us. 

16 51 And it came to pass, as we 
went to prayer, a certain ° damsel 
possessed with a spirit 3 of divina- 
tion met us, which brought her 
masters p much gain by soothsay- 
ing: 

17 The same followed Paul and 
us, and cried, saying, These men

18 And this did she many days. 
But Paul being q grieved, turned 
and said to the spirit, I command 
thee in the name of Jesus Christ to 
come out of her. r And he came 
out the same hour. 

19 51 And s when her masters saw 
that the hope of their gains was 
gone, t they caught Paul and Silas, 
and u drew them into the 4 market 
place unto the rulers, 

20 And brought them to the ma- 

fistrates, saying, These men, being 
ews, do " exceedingly trouble our 
city, 

21 And teach customs, which are 
not lawful for us to receive, neither 
to observe, being Bomans. 

22 And the multitude rose up to- 
gether against them: and the 
magistrates rent off their clothes, 
and P° commanded to beat them. 

23 And z when they had laid many 
stripes upon them, they cast them 
into prison, charging the jailor to 
keep them safely: 

24 Who, having received such a 
charge, thrust them into the inner 
prison, and made their feet fast in 
the y stocks. 

25 51 And at midnight Paul and 
Silas prayed, and z sang praises 
unto God : and the prisoners heard 
them. 

26 And ° suddenly there was a 
great earthquake, so that the foun- 
dations of the prison were shaken : 
and immediately b all the doors 
were opened, and every one's 
bands were loosed. 

27 And the keeper of the prison 
awaking out of his sleep, and seeing 
the prison doors open, he drew out 
his sword, and would have killed 
himself, supposing that the prison- 
ers had been fled. 

28 But Paul cried with a loud 
voice, saying, c Do thyself no harm ; 
for we are all here. 

29 Then he called for a light, and 
sprang in, and came trembling, 
and fell down before Paul and 
Silas, 

30 And brought them out, and 
said, Sirs, what d must I do to be 
saved? 

31 And they said, 6 Believe on the 
Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt 
be saved, and thy house. 

32 And they spake unto him the 
word of the Lord, and to all that 
were in his Louse.

33 And he took them the same 
hour of the night, and washed their 
stripes ; and was baptized, he and 
all his, straightway. 

34 And when he had brought 
them into his house, / he set meat 
before them, 9 and rejoiced, 
believing in God with all his 
house. 

35 And when it was day, the ma- 
gistrates sent the Serjeants, saying, 
Let those men go. 

36 And the keeper of the prison 
told this saying to Paul, The ma- 
gistrates have sent to let you go : 
now therefore depart, and go in 
peace. 

37 But Paul said unto them, They 
have beaten us openly uncon- 
demned/ being Romans, and have 
cast us into prison; and now do 
they thrust us out privily? nay 
verily; » but let them come them- 
selves and fetch us out 

3S And the Serjeants told these 
words unto the magistrates: and 
they feared, when they heard that 
they were Romans. 

39 And they came and besought 
them, and brought them out, •»' and 
desired them to depart out of the 
city. 

40 And they went out of the 
prison, and entered into the house 
of Lydia: and when they had 
seen the brethren, they k comforted 
them, and departed.

Jason, and sought to bring them 
out to the people. 

6 And when they found them 
not, they drew Jason and certain 
brethren unto the rulers of the 
city, crying, These / that have 
turned the world upside down are 
come hither also; 

7 Whom Jason hath received: 
and these all g do contrary to the 
decrees of Cesar, saying h that there 
is another king, one Jesus. 

8 And they troubled the people 
and the rulers of the city, when 
they heard these things. 

9 And when they had taken se- 
curity of Jason, and of the other, 
they let them go. 

10 ^| And * the brethren imme- 
diately sent away Paul and Silas 
by night unto Berea : who coming 
thither went into the synagogue of 
the Jews. 

11 These were more noble than 
those in Thessalonica, in that they 
received the word with all readi- 
ness of mind, and searched J the 
Scriptures daily, whether those 
things were so. 

12 Therefore many of them be- 
lieved ; also of honourable women 
which were Greeks, and of men, 
not a few. 

13 But when the Jews of Thes- 
salonica had knowledge that the 
word of God was preached of Paul 
at Berea, * they came thither also, 
and stirred up the people. 

14 And Hhen immediately the 
brethren sent away Paul, to go as 
it were to the sea: but Silas and 
Timotheus abode there still. 

15 And they that conducted Paul 
brought him unto Athensi and 
receiving m a commandment unto 
Silas and Timotheus for to come 
to him with all speed, they de- 
parted. 

16 1 Now while Paul waited for 
them at Athens, "his spirit was 
stirred in him, when he saw the 
city 2 wholly given to idolatry. 

17 Therefore disputed he in the 
synagogue with the Jews, and with 
the devout persons, and in the 
market daily with them that met 
with him. 

18 Then certain philosophers of 
the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, 
encountered him. And some said, 
What will this 3 babbler say? other 
some, He seemeth to be a setter 
forth of strange gods: because he 
preached unto them Jesus, and 
the resurrection.

19 And they took him, and 
brought him unto 4 Areopagus, 
saying, May we know what this 
new doctrine, whereof thou speak- 
est, is? 

20 For thou bringest certain 
strange things to our ears: we 
would know therefore what these 
things mean. 

21 (For all the Athenians and 
strangers which were there spent 
their time in nothing else, but 
either to tell, or to hear some new 
thing.) 

22 % Then Paul stood in the 
midst of 5 Mars' hill, and said, Ye 
men of Athens, I perceive that in 
all things ye are "too superstitious. 

23 For as I passed by, and beheld 
your 6 devotions, I found an altar 
with this inscription, * TO THE 
UNKNOWN GOD. Whom there- 
fore ye ignorantly worship, him 
declare I unto you. 

24 God ? that made the world 
and all things therein, seeing that 
he is r Lord of heaven and earth, 
dwelleth s not in temples made 
with hands; 

25 Neither is worshipped with 
men's hands, 'as though he needed 
any thing, seeing u he giveth to all 
life, and breath, and all things; 

26 And hath made of one blood 
all nations of men for to dwell on 
all the face of the earth, and v hath 
determined the times before ap- 
pointed, and "'the bounds of their 
habitation; 

27 That z they should seek the 
Lord, if haply they might feel 
after him, and find him, y though 
he be not far from every one of 
us: 

28 For *in him we live, and 
move, and have our being; "as 
certain also of your own poets have 
said, For we are also his offspring. 

29 Forasmuch then as we are the 
offspring of God, 6 we ought not 
to think that the Godhead is like 
unto gold, or silver, or stone, 
graven by art and man's device. 

30 And c the times of this igno- 
rance God winked at; but d now 
commandeth all men every where 
to repent: 

31 Because he hath appointed a 
day, in the which e he will judge 
the world in righteousness by that 
man whom he hath ordained; 
whereof he hath 7 given assurance 
unto all men, in that he hath raised 
him from the dead.

them. 

34 Howbeit /certain men clave 
unto him, and believed: among 
the which was Dionysius the Are- 
opagite, and a woman named 
Damaris, and others with them. 

CHAPTER XVHT. 

3 Paul labouring with his hands, and 
preaching at Corinth, 9 is encouraged in 
a vision, etc. 

AFTER these things Paul de- 
parted from Athens, and came 
to Corinth; 

2 And found a certain "Jew 
named Aquila, bom in Pontus, 
lately come from Italy, with his 
wife ^ Priscilla; (because that 
Claudius had commanded all Jews 
to depart from Rome:) and came 
unto them. 

3 And because he was of the 
same craft, he abode with them, 
and 6 wrought: for by their occu- 
pation they were tent-makers. 

4 And he reasoned in the syna- 
gogue every sabbath, and per- 
suaded the Jews and the Greeks. 

5 And c when Silas and Timo- 
theus were come from Macedonia, 
Paul was pressed in d the spirit, 
and testified to the Jews that Jesus 
was l Christ. 

6 And e when they opposed them- 
selves, and blasphemed/ he shook 
his raiment, and said unto them, 
Your g blood he upon your own 
heads; I h am clean: • from hence- 
forth I will "go unto the Gentiles. 

7 And he departed thence, and 
entered into a certain man's house, 
named Justus, one that worshipped 
God, whose house joined hard to 
the synagogue. 

8 And i Crispus, the chief ruler 
of the synagogue, believed on the 
Lord with all his house: and many 
of the Corinthians hearing be- 
lieved, and were baptized. 

9 Then * spake the Lord to Paul 
in the night by a vision, Be not 
afraid, but speak, and hold not 
thy peace: 

10 For 'I am with thee, and no 
man shall set on thee to hurt 
thee: m for I have much people in 
this city. 

11 And he 2 continued there a 
year and six months, teaching the 
word of God among them.

deputy of Achaia, the Jews made

insurrection with one accord 
against Paul, and brought him to 
the judgment seat, 

13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth 
men to worship God contrary to 
the law. 

14 And when Paul was now 
about to open his mouth, Gallio 
said unto the Jews, n If it were a 
matter of wrong or wicked lewd- 
ness, ye Jews, reason would 
that I should bear with you: 

15 But if it be a question of words 
and names, and of your law, look 
ye to it; for I will be no judge of 
such matters. 

16 And he drave them from the 
judgment seat. 

17 Then all the Greeks "took 
Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the 
synagogue, and beat him before 
the judgment seat. And Galho 
cared for none of those things. 

18 1f And Paul after this tarried 
there yet a good while, and then 
took his leave of the brethren, 
and sailed thence into Syria, and 
with him Priscilla and Aquila; 
having shorn p his head in 2 Cen- 
chrea: for he had a vow. 

19 And he came to Ephesus, and 
left them there: but he himself 
entered into the synagogue, and 
reasoned with the Jews. 

20 When they desired him to 
tarry longer time with them, he 
consented not; 

m 21 But bade them farewell, say- 
ing, r I must by all means keep 
this feast that cometh in Jerusa- 
lem: but I will return again unto 
you, s if God will And he sailed 
from Ephesus. 

22 And when he had landed at 
Cesarea, and gone up, and saluted 
the church, he went down to An- 
tioch. 

23 And after he had spent some 
time there, he departed, and went 
over all the country of 'Galatia 
and Phrygia in order, strengthen- 
ing * all the disciples. 

24 f And v a certain Jew named 
Apollos, born at Alexandria, an 
eloquent man, and mighty in the 
Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 

25 This man was instructed in 
the way of the Lord; and being 
fervent w inthe spirit, he spake and 
taught diligently the things of the 
Lord, knowing x only the baptism 
of John. 

m 26 And he began to speak boldly 

in the synagogue: whom when 

Aquila and Priscilla had heard,

they took him unto them, and ex-

more perfectly. 

27 And when he was disposed to 
pass into Achaia, the brethren 
wrote, exhorting the disciples to 
receive him: who, when he was 
come, y helped them much which 
had believed through grace: 

28 For he mightily convinced 
the Jews, and that publicly, *show- 
ing by the Scriptures that Jesus 
3 was Christ. 

CHAPTER XIX. 

I The Holy Ghost given by the laying on 
of Paul's hands. 17 Many believe the 
Gospel. 

AND it came to pass, that, while 
Apollos was °at Corinth, Paul 
having passed through the upper 
coasts came to Ephesus: and find- 
ing certain disciples, 

2 He said unto them, Have ye 
received the Holy Ghost since ye 
believed? And they said unto 
him, 6 We have not so much as 
heard whether there be any Holy 
Ghost. 

3 And he said unto them, Unto 
what then were ye baptized? And 
they said, Unto s John's baptism. 

4 Then said Paul, d John verily 
baptized with the baptism of re- 
pentance, saying unto the people, 
that they should believe on him 
which should come after him, that 
is, on Christ Jesus. 

5 When they heard this, they 
were baptized 'in the name of the 
Lord Jesus. 

6 And when Paul had /laid his 
hands upon them, the Holy Ghost 
came on them; and they f spake 
with tongues, and prophesied. 

7 And all the men were about 
twelve. 

8 And h he went into the syna- 
gogue, and spake boldly for the 
space of three months, disputing 
and persuading the things * con- 
cerning the kingdom of God. 

9 But i when divers were harden- 
ed, and believed not, but spake 
evil k of that way before the multi- 
tude, he departed from them, and 
separated the disciples, disputing 
daily in the school of one Tyran- 
nus. 

10 And *this continued by the 
space of two years; so that all they 
which dwelt in Asia heard the 
word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews 
and Greeks. 

II And m God wrought special 
miracles by the hands of Paul; 



The seven sons ofSeeva. 



ACTS, XIX. 



The uproar at Ephesus. 



■ 12 So " that from bis body were 
brought unto the" sick handker- 
chiefs or aprons, and the diseases 
departed from them, and the evil 
spirits went out of them. 

13 if Then ° certain of the vaga- 
bond Jews, exorcists, p took upon 
them to call over them which had 
evil spirits the name of the Lord 
Jesus, sajong, We adjure you by 
Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 

14 And there were seven sons of 
one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the 
priests, which did so. 

15 And the evil spirit answered 
and said, Jesus q I know, and Paul 
I know; but who are ye? 

16 And the man in whom the 
evil spirit was leaped on them, and 
overcame them, and prevailed 
against them, so that they fled out 
of that house naked and wounded. 

17 And this was known to all the 
Jews and Greeks also dwelling at 
Ephesus ; and fear r fell on them 
all, and the name of the Lord Jesus 
was magnified. 

18 And many that believed came, 
and s confessed, and showed then- 
deeds. 

19 Many of them also which ( used 
curious arts brought their books 
together, and burned them before 
all men: and they counted the 
price of them, and found it fifty 
thousand pieces of silver. 

20 So u mightily grew the word 
of God and prevailed. 

21 1f After v these things were 
ended, Paul purposed w in the 

i spirit, when he had passed through 

! Macedonia and Achaia, to go to 

Jerusalem, saying, After I have 

been there, x I must also see Eome. 

22 So he sent into Macedonia 
two of them y that ministered unto 
him , Timotheus and z Erastus; but 
he himself stayed in Asia for a 
season. 

23 ^ And a the same time there 
arose no small stir about & that 
way. 

24 For a certain man named De- 
metrius, a silversmith, which made 
silver shrines for Diana, brought 
no e small gain unto the crafts- 
men; 

25 Whom he called together with 
the workmen of like occupation, 
and said, Sirs, ye know that by this 
craft d we have our wealth. 

26 Moreover ye see and hear, that 
not alone at Ephesus, but almost 
throughout all Asia, this Paul hath 
persuaded and turned away much

people, saying that they 6 be no 
gods which are made with hands : 

27 So that not only this our craft 
is in danger to be set at nought ; 
but also that the temple of the 
great goddess Diana should be 
despised, and her magnificence 
should be destroyed, whom all 
Asia and the world worshippeth. 

28 And when they heard these say- 
ings, they were full of wrath, and 
cried out, saying, / Great is Diana 
of the Ephesians. 

29 And the whole city was filled 
with confusion: and havings' caught 
Gaius h and Aristarchus, men of 
Macedonia, Paul's companions in 
travel, they rushed with one accord 
into the theatre. 

30 And when Paul would have 
entered in unto the people, the 
disciples suffered him not.' 

31 And certain of the chief * of 
Asia, which were his friends, sent 
unto him, desiring him that he 
would not adventure himself into 
the theatre. 

32 Some therefore cried one 
thing, and some another: for the 
assembly was confused; and the 
more part knew not wherefore 
they were come together. 

33 And they drew Alexander out 
of the multitude, the Jews putting 
him forward. And i Alexander 
beckoned with the hand, and 
would have made his defence unto 
the people. 

34 But when they knew that he 
was a Jew, all with one voice 
about the space of two hours cried 
out, Great is Diana of the Ephesi- 
ans. 

35 And when the town-clerk had 
appeased the people, he said, Ye 
men of Ephesus, what man is there 
that knoweth not how that the 
city of the Ephesians is 1 a wor- 
shipper of the great goddess Diana, 
and of the image which fell down 
from Jupiter? 

36 Seeing then that these things 
cannot be spoken against, ye ought 
to be quiet, and to do nothing 
rashly. 

37 For ye have brought hither 
these men, which are neither rob- 
bers of churches, nor yet blas- 
phemers of your goddess. 

38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and 
the craftsmen which are with him, 
have a matter against any man, 
the 2 law is open, and there are 
deputies: let them implead one 
another.

40 For we are in danger to be 
called in question for this day's 
uproar, there being no cause 
whereby we may give an account 
of this concourse. 

41 And * when he had thus 
spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

1 Paul goeth to Macedonia: 7 he celebrateth 
the Lord's supper, and preacheth. 9Eu- 
tychus, falling dawn dead, 10 is raised 
to life. 28 Paid committeth the flock to 
the elders: 36 he prayeth with them, and 
deparieth. 

AND after the uproar was ceased, 
Paul called unto him the dis- 
ciples, and embraced them, a and 
departed for to go into Macedonia. 

2 And when he had gone over 
those parts, and had given them 
much exhortation, he came into 
Greece, 

3 And there abode three months. 
And when h the Jews laid wait for 
him, as he was about to sail into 
Syria, he purposed to return through 
Macedonia. 

4 And there accompanied him 
into Asia, Sopater of Berea; and of 
the Thessalonians, c Aristarchus and 
Secundus ; d and Gaius of Derbe, 
and ° Timotheus ; and of Asia, 
Tychicus/ and 3 Trophimus. 

5 These going before tarried for 
us at Troas. 

6 And we sailed away from Phi- 
lippi after the days h of unleavened 
bread, and came unto them * to 
Troas in five days; where we abode 
seven days. 

7 51 And upon 5 the first day of 
the week, when the disciples came 
together k to break bread, Paul 
preached unto them, ready to de- 
part on the morrow ; and con- 
tinued his speech until midnight. 

8 And there were many lights l in 
the upper chamber, where they 
were gathered together. 

9 And there sat in a window a 
certain young man named Euty- 
chus, being fallen into a deep 
sleep: and as Paul was long 
preaching, he sunk down with 
sleep, and fell down from the third 
loft, and was taken up dead. 

10 And Paul went down, m and 
fell on him, and embracing him 
said, n Trouble not yourselves; for 
his life is in him. 

11 When he therefore was come

up again, and had broken bread, 
and eaten, and talked a long 
while, even till break of day, so 
he departed. 

12 And they brought the young 
man alive, and were not a little 
comforted. 

13 *\ And we went before to ship, 
and sailed unto Assos, there intend- 
ing to take in Paul: for so had he 
appointed, rninding himself to go 
afoot. 

14 And when he met with us at 
Assos, we took him in, and came 
to Mitylene. 

15 And we sailed thence, and 
came the next day over against 
Chios ; and the next day we arrived 
at Samos, and tarried at Trogylli- 
um ; and the next day we came to 
Miletus. 

16 For Paul had determined to 
sail by Ephesus, because he would 
not spend the time in Asia : ° for 
he hasted, if it were possible for 
him, p to be at Jerusalem q the day 
of Pentecost. 

17 5[ And from Miletus he sent to 
Ephesus, and called r the elders of 
the church. 

18 And when they were come to 
him, he said unto them, Ye know, 
from s the first day that I came into 
Asia, after what manner I have 
been with you at all seasons, 

19 Serving the Lord with all 
humility of mind, and with many 
tears, and temptations, which be- 
fell me by the lying in wait of 
the Jews : 

20 And how I kept back nothing 
that was profitable unto you, but 
have showed you, and have taught 
you publicly, and. from house to 
house, 

21 Testifying ' both to the Jews, 
and also to the Greeks," repentance 
toward God, and faith toward our 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

22 And now, behold," I go bound 
in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not 
knowing the things that shall be- 
fall me there : 

23 Save that w the Holy Ghost 
witnesseth in every city, saying 
that bonds and afflictions x abide 
me. 

24 But x none of these things 
move me, neither count I my life 
dear unto myself, so y that I might 
finish my course with joy, and z the 
ministry which ° I have received 
of the Lord Jesus, to testify the 
gospel of the grace of God. 

25 And now, behold, i I know 



Paul journeys to Jerusalem. 



ACTS, XXI. Agabus prophesies Ms imprisonment 



that ye all, among whom I have 
gone preaching the kingdom of 
God, shall see my face no more. 

26 "Wherefore I take you to record 
this day, that I am c pure from the 
blood of all men. 

27 For I have not shunned to de- 
clare unto you all d the counsel of 
God. 

28 Take e heed therefore unto 
yourselves, and to all the flock 
over the which the / Holy Ghost 
hath made you overseers, to feed 
the church of God, 9 which he hath 
purchased h with his own blood. 

29 For I know this, that after my 
departing * shall grievous wolves 
enter in among you, not sparing 
the flock. 

30 Also-? of your own selves shall 
men arise, speaking perverse things, 
to draw away disciples after them. 

31 Therefore watch, and remem- 
ber, that by k the space of three 
years I ceased not to warn every 
one night and day with tears. 

32 And now, brethren, I commend 
vou to God, and l to the word of 
his grace, which is able M to build 
you up, and to give you an " inheri- 
tance among all them which are 
sanctified. 

33 I ° have coveted no man's sil- 
ver, or gold, or apparel. 

34 Yea, ye yourselves know, p that 
these hands have ministered unto 
my necessities, and to them that 
were with me. 

35 I have showed you all things, 
how that q so labouring ye ought 
to support the weak, and to re- 
member the words of the Lord 
Jesus, how he said, r It is more 
blessed to give than to receive. 

36 \\ And when he had thus 
spoken, he kneeled down, and 
prayed with them all 

37 And they all wept sore, * and 
fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him, 

38 Sorrowing most of all for the 
words which he spake, that they 
should see his face no more. And 
they accompanied him unto the 
ship.

we were gotten from them, 
and had launched, we came with 
a straight course unto Coos, and

and from thence unto Patara :

2 And finding a ship sailing over 
unto Phenicia, we went aboard, 
and set forth. 

3 Now when we had discovered 
Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, 
and sailed into Syria, and landed 
at Tyre : for there the ship was to 
unlade her burden. 

4 And finding disciples, we tarried 
there seven days: a who said to 
Paul through the Spirit, that he 
should not go up to Jerusalem. 

5 And when we had accomplished 
those days, we departed and went 
our way ; and they all brought us 
on our way, with wives and chil- 
dren, till we were out of the city: 
and we b kneeled down on the 
shore, and prayed. 

6 And when we had taken our 
leave one of another, we took ship; 
and they returned home c again. 

7 And when we had finished our 
course from Tyre, we came to Pto- 
lemais, and saluted the brethren, 
and abode with them one day. 

8 And the next day we that were 
of Paul's company departed, and 
came unto Cesarea: and we en- 
tered into the house of Philip d the 
evangelist, which was e one of the 
seven ; and abode with him. 

9 And the same man had four 
daughters, virgins, f which did pro- 
phesy. 

10 And as we tarried there many 
days, there came down from Judea 
a certain prophet, named 9 Aga- 
bus. 

11 And when he was come unto 
us, he took Paul's girdle, and 
bound his own hands and feet, 
and said, Thus saith the Holy 
Ghost, h So shall the Jews at Jeru- 
salem bind the man that owneth 
this girdle, and shall deliver Urn 
into the hands of the Gentiles. 

12 And when we heard these 
things, both we, and they of that 
place, besought him not to go up 
to Jerusalem. 

13 Then Paul answered, * What 
mean ye to weep and to break 
mine heart? for i I am ready not to 
be bound only, but also to die at 
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord 
Jesus. 

14 And when he would not be 
persuaded, we ceased, saying, k The 
will of the Lord be done. 

15 And after those days we took 
up our carriages, and went up to 
Jerusalem. 

16 There went -with us also certain 
of the disciples of Cesarea, and 



Paul apprehended 



ACTS, XXI.

brought with them one Mnason of 
Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom 
we should lodge. 

17 And l when we were come to 
Jerusalem, the brethren received 
us gladly. 

18 And the day following Paul 
went in with us unto m James ; and 
all the elders were present. 

19 And when he had saluted 
them, he declared n particularly 
what things Cod had wrought 
among the Gentiles by ° his minis- 
try. 

20 And when they heard it, they 
glorified the Lord, and said unto 
him, Thou seest, brother, how many 
thousands of Jews there are which 
believe ; and they are all p zealous 
of the law : 

21 And they are informed of thee, 
that thou q teachest all the Jews 
which are among the Gentiles to 
forsake Moses, saying that they 
ought not to circumcise their chil- 
dren, neither to walk after the \ 
customs. 

22 What is it therefore ? the mul- 
titude must needs come together: 
for they will hear that thou ait 
come. 

23 Do therefore this that we say to 
thee: We have four men which 
have a vow on them; 

24 Them take, and purify thyself 
with them, and be at charges with 
them, that they may r shave their 
heads: and all may know that 
those things, whereof they were 
informed concerning thee, are 
nothing; but that thou thyself also 
walkest orderly, and 8 keepest the 
law. 

25 As touching the Gentiles which 
believe, we * have written and 
concluded that they observe no 
such thing, save only that they 
keep themselves from things offered 
to idols, and from blood, and from 
strangled, and from fornication. 

26 Then Paul took the men, and 
the next day purifying himself 
with them entered into u the tem- 
ple, " to signify the accomplish- 
ment of the days of purification, 
until that an offering should be 
offered for every one of them. 

27 And when the seven days were 
almost ended, the Jews which were 
of Asia, when they saw him in the 
temple, stirred up all the people, 
and laid w hands on him, 

28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help : 
This is the man * that teacheth all 
men every where against the people,

and the law, and this place: and 
further brought Greeks also into 
the temple, and hath polluted this 
holy place. 

29 (For they had seen before with 
him in the city y Trophimus an 
Ephesian, whom they supposed 
that Paul had brought into the 
temple.) 

30 And all the city was moved, 
and the people ran together: and 
they took Paul, and drew him out 
of the temple : and forthwith the 
doors were shut. 

31, And as they went about to 
kill him, tidings came unto the 
chief captain of the band, 
that all Jerusalem was in an up- 
roar: 

32 Who z immediately took sol- 
diers and centurions, and ran 
down unto them: and when they 
saw the chief captain and the 
soldiers, they left beating of 
Paul. 

33 Then the chief captain came 
near, and took him, and a com- 
manded him to be bound with two 
chains; and demanded who he 
was, and what he had done. 

34 And some cried one thing, 
some another, among the multi- 
tude : and when he could not 
know the certainty for the tumult, 
he commanded him to be carried 
into the castle. 

35 And when he came upon the 
stairs, so it was, that he was borne 
of the soldiers for the violence of 
the people. 

36 For the multitude of the peo- 
ple followed after, crying, b Away 
with him. 

37 And as Paul was to be led 
into the castle, he said unto the 
chief captain, May I speak unto 
thee? Who said, Canst thou speak 
Greek? 

38 Art not thou that \ Egyptian, 
which before these days madest 
an uproar, and leddest out into 
the wilderness four thousand men 
that were murderers? 

39 But Paul said, c I am a man 
which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in 
Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: 
and, I beseech thee, d suffer me to 
speak unto the people. 

40 And when he had given him 
licence, Paul stood on the stairs, 
and beckoned with the hand unto 
the people. And when there was 
made a great silence, he spake 
unto them, in the Hebrew tongue, 
saying, 



1'aul's address to the Jeivs. 



CHAPTER XXII. 

I Paul declareth how he was convened: 25 
he escapeth scourging, being a Roman 

MEN, "brethren, and fathers, 
hear ye my defence which I 
make now unto you. 

2 (And when they heard that he 
spake in the Hebrew tongue to 
them, they kept the more silence: 
and he saith,) 

3 I h am verily a man which am, a, 
Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in 
Cilicia, yet brought up in this city 
at c the feet of d Gamaliel, and 
taught e according to the perfect 
manner of the law of the fathers, 
and / was zealous toward God, 9 as 
ye all are this day. 

4 And h I persecuted this way 
unto the death, binding and de- 
livering into prisons both men and 
women. 

5 As also the high priest doth 
bear me witness, and i all the 
estate of the elders : from i whom 
also I received letters unto k the 
brethren, and went to Damascus, 
to bring them whiclu were there 
bound unto Jerusalem, for to be 
punished. 

6 And l it came to pass, that, as 
I made my journey, and was come 
nigh unto Damascus about noon, 
suddenly there shone from heaven 
a great light round about me. 

7 And I fell unto tbe ground, 
and heard a voice saying unto me, 
Saul, Saul, why perse cutest thou 
me? 

8 And I answered, Who art thou, 
Lord? And he said unto me, I 
am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou 
persecutes! 

9 And m they that were with me 
saw indeed the light, and were 
afraid; but they heard not the 
voice of him that spake to me. 

10 And I said, What shall I do, 
Lord ? And the Lord said unto 
me, Arise, and go into Damascus; 
and there it shall be told thee of 
all things which are appointed for 
thee to do. 

II And when I could not see for 
the glory of that light, being led 
by the hand of them that were 
with me, I came into Damascus. 

12 And n one Ananias, a devout 
man according to the law, ° hav- 
ing a good report of all the p Jews 
which dwelt there, 

1 3 Came unto me, and stood, and 
said unto me, Brother Saul, receive 
thy sight. And the same hour I 
looked up upon him.

me. 

19 And I said, Lord, b they know 
that I imprisoned and c beat in 
every synagogue them that be- 
lieved on thee: 

20 And d when the blood of thy 
rnartyr Stephen was shed, I also 
was standing by, and e consenting 
unto his death, and kept the rai- 
ment of them that slew him. 

21 And he said unto me, Depart: 
for /I will send thee far hence 
unto the Gentiles. 

22 \ And they gave him audience 
unto this word, and then lifted up 
their voices, and said, 9 Away 
with such a fellow from the earth; 
for it is not fit that h he should 
live. 

23 And as they cried out, and 
cast off their clothes, and threw 
dust into the air, 

24 The chief captain commanded 
him to be brought into the castle, 
and bade that he should be exam- 
ined by scourging; that he might 
know wherefore they cried so 
against him. 

25 And as they bound him with 
thongs, Paul said unto the centu- 
rion that stood by, * Is it lawful 
for you to scourge a man that is a 
Eoman, and uncondemned ? 

26 When the centurion heard 
that, he went and told the chief 
captain, saying, Take heed what 
thou doest: for this man is a 
Eoman. 

27 Then the chief captain came, 
and said unto him, Tell me, art 
thou a Koman? He said, Yea. 

28 And the chief captain answer- 
ed, With a great sum obtained I 
this freedom. And Paul said, But 
I was/r<?e-born.

29 Then straightway they de- 
parted from him which should 
have x examined him : and the 
chief captain also was afraid, after 
he knew that he was. a Koman, 
and because he had hound him. 

30 On the morrow, because he 
would have known the certainty 
wherefore he was accused of the 
Jews, he loosed him from his bands, 
and 3 commanded the chief priests 
and all their council to appear, 
and brought Paul down, and set 
him before them. 

CHAPTER XXin. 

1 Paul pleadeth his cause: 7 dissension 
among his accusers: 10 he is again im- 
prisoned: 12 the Jews conspire to kill 
him: 23 he is sent to Felix the gover- 
nor 

AND Paul, earnestly beholding 
the council, said, Men and 
brethren, I a have lived in all 
good conscience before God until 
this day. 

2 And the high priest Ananias 
commanded them that stood by 
biTn 6 to smite him on the mouth. 

3 Then said Paul unto him, God 
shall smite thee, thou whited wall: 
for sittest thou to judge me after 
the law, and c commandest me 
to be smitten contrary to the 
law? 

4 And they that stood by said, 
Bevilest thou God's high priest? 

5 Then said Paul, d I wist not, 
brethren, that he was the high 
priest: for it is written, e Thou shalt 
not speak evil of the ruler of thy 
people. 

6 But when Paul perceived that 
the one part were Sadducees, and 
the other Pharisees, he cried out 
in the council, Men and brethren, 
I /am a Pharisee, the son of a 
Pharisee: 9 of the hope and resur- 
rection of the dead I am called in 
question. 

7 And when he had so said, there 
arose a dissension between the 
Pharisees and the Sadducees: and 
the multitude was divided. 

8 For A the Sadducees say that 
there is no resurrection, neither 
angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees 
confess both. 

9 And there arose a great cry: 
and the scribes that were of the 
Pharisees' part arose, and strove, 
saying, • We find no evil in this 
man: but * if a spirit or an angel 
hath spoken to him, let k us not 
fight against God. 

10 And when there arose a great 
dissension, the chief captain, fear-

mg lest Paul should have been 
pulled in pieces of them, com- 
manded the soldiers to go down, 
and to take him by force from 
among them, and to bring him into 
the castle. 

11 And l the night following, the 
Lord stood by him, and said, Be 
of good cheer, Paul : for as thou 
hast testified of me in Jerusalem, 
so must thou bear witness also at 
Rome. 

12 And when it was day, m cer- 
tain of the Jews banded together, 
and bound themselves l under a 
curse, saying that they would 
neither eat nor drink till they had 
killed Paul. 

13 And they were more than 
forty which had made this con- 
spiracy. 

14 And they came to the chief 
priests and elders, and said, We 
have bound ourselves under a 
great curse, that we will eat no- 
thing until we have slain PauL 

15 Now therefore ye with the 
council signify to the chief captain 
that he bring him down unto you 
to-morrow, as though ye would 
enquire something more perfectly 
concerning him : and we, or ever 
he come near, are ready to kill 
him. 

16 And n when Paul's sister's son 
heard of then* lying in wait, he 
went and entered into the castle, 
and told PauL 

17 Then ° Paul called one of the 
centurions unto him, and said, 
Bring this young man unto the 
chief captain; for he hath a certain 
thing to tell him. 

18 So he took him, and brought 
him to the chief captain, and said, 
Paul the prisoner called me unto 
him, and prayed me to bring this 
young man unto thee, who hath 
something to say unto thee. 

19 Then the chief captain took 
him by the hand, and went with 
him aside privately, and asked 
him, What is that thou hast to tell 
me? 

20 And he said, p The Jews have 
agreed to desire thee that thou 
wouldest bring down Paul to-mor- 
row into the council, as though 
they would enquire somewhat of 
him more perfectly. 

21 But do not thou yield unto 
them; for there 9 lie in wait for 
him of them more than forty 
men, which have bound them- 
selves with an oath, that they

ACTS, XXIV.

will neither eat nor drink till they 
have killed him : and now are 
they ready, looking for a promise 
from thee. 

22 So the chief captain then let 
the young man depart, and 
charged him, See thou tell no man 
that thou hast showed these things 
to me. 

23 And he called unto him two 
centurions, saying, Make ready 
two hundred soldiers to go to 
Cesarea, and horsemen threescore 
and ten, and 2 spearmen two 
nundred, at the third hour of the 
night; 

24 And provide them beasts, that 
they may set Paul on, and bring 
him safe unto Felix the governor. 

25 And he wrote a letter after 
this manner: 

26 Claudius Lysias unto the most 
excellent governor Felix sendeth 
greeting. 

27 This r man was taken of the 
Jews, and should have been killed 
of them: then came I with an 
army, and rescued him, having 
understood that he was a Koman. 

28 And s when I would have 
known the cause wherefore they 
accused him, I brought him forth 
into their council: 

29 Whom I perceived to be 
accused of questions { of their law, 
but u to have nothing laid to his 
charge worthy of death or of 
bonds. 

30 And when it was told me how 
that the Jews laid wait for the 
man, I sent straightway to thee, 
and v gave commandment to his 
accusers also to say before thee 
what they had against him. Fare- 
well. 

31 Then the soldiers, as it was 
commanded them, took Paul, and 
brought him by night to Anti- 
patris. 

32 On the morrow they left the 
horsemen to go with him, and re- 
turned to the castle: 

33 Who, when they came w to 
Cesarea, and delivered the epistle 
to the governor, presented Paul 
also before him. 

34 And when the governor had 
read the letter, he asked of what 
province he was. And when 
he understood that he was * of 
Cilicia; 

35 I y will hear thee, said he, 
when thine accusers are also come. 
And he commanded him to be 
kept z in Herod's judgment hall

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 Tertullus accuseth Paul: 10 who an- 
swereth for his We and doctrine: 24 
Paul preacheth Christ to the governor 
and his wife; 27 he is left in prison by 
Felix. 

AND after a five days h Ananias 
the high priest descended 
with the elders, and with a certain 
orator named Tertullus, who in- 
formed the governor against Paul. 

2 And when he was called forth, 
Tertullus began to accuse him, say- 
ing, Seeing c that by ihee we enjoy 
great quietness, and that very 
worthy deeds are done unto this 
nation by thy providence, 

3 We accept it always, and in all 
places, most noble Felix, with all 
thankfulness. 

4 Notwithstanding, that I be not 
further tedious unto thee, I pray 
thee that thou wouldest hear us 
of thy clemency a few words. 

5 For d we have found this man 
1 a pestilent fellow, and a mover 
of sedition among all the Jews 
throughout the world, and a ring- 
leader of the sect of the Nazarenes: 

6 Who 6 also hath gone about to 
profane the temple: whom we 
took, and would have /judged ac- 
cording to our law. 

7 But 9 the chief captain Lysias 
came upon us, and with great 
violence took him away out of our 
hands, 

8 Commanding h his accusers to 
come unto thee: by examining of 
whom thyself mayest take know- 
ledge of all these things whereof 
we accuse him. 

9 And the Jews also assented, 
saying that these things were so. 

10 ^f Then Paul, after that the 
governor had beckoned unto him 
to speak, answered, Forasmuch as 
I know that thou hast been of 
many years 2 a judge unto this 
nation, I do the more cheerfully 
answer for myself: 

11 Because that thou mayest 
understand, that there are yet but 
twelve days since I went up to 
Jerusalem for * to worship. 

12 And i they neither found me 
in the temple disputing with any 
man, neither raising up the people, 
neither in the synagogues-, nor in 
the city: 

13 Neither can they prove the 
things whereof they now accuse 
me. 

14 But this I confess unto thee, 
that after the *way which they

ACTS, XXV.

call heresy, so worship I the l God 
of my fathers, believing all things 
which are written in m the Law 
and in the Prophets: 

15 And "• have hope toward God, 
which they themselves also allow, 
that i there shall be a resurrection 
of the dead, both of the just and 
unjust. 

16 And p herein do I exercise 
myself, to have always a conscience 
void of offence toward God, and 
toward men. 

17 Now after many years q I came 
to bring alms to my nation, and 
oficrings. 

18 Whereupon r certain Jews 
from Asia found me purified in 
the temple, neither with multi- 
tude, nor with tumult. 

19 Who * ought to have been here 
before thee, and object, if they had 
ought against me. 

20 Or else let these same here say, 
if they have found any evil doing 
in me, while I stood before the 
council, 

21 Except it be for this one voice, 
that I cried standing among them, 
Touching { the resurrection of the 
dead I am called in question by 
you this day. 

22 % And when Felix heard these 
things, having more perfect know- 
ledge of that way, he deferred them, 
and said, When Lysias the chief 
captain shall come down, I will 
know the uttermost of your mat- 
ter. 

23 And he commanded a cen- 
turion to keep Paul, and to let 
him have liberty, and u that he 
should forbid none of his acquaint- 
ance to minister or come unto 
him. 

24 And after certain days, when 
Felix came with his wife Drusilla, 
which was a Jewess, he sent for 
Paul, and heard him concerning 
the faith in Christ. 

25 And as he reasoned of right- 
eousness, temperance, and judg- 
ment to come, Felix trembled, 
and answered, Go thy way for this 
time; when I have a convenient 
season I will call for thee. 

26 He hoped also that "money 
should have been given him of 
Paul, that he might loose him: 
wherefore he sent for him the 
oftener, and communed with him. 

27 But after two years Porcius 
Festus came into Felix' room: and 
Felix, w willing to show the Jews 
a pleasure, left Paul bound.

CHAPTEE XXV. 

1 Paul accused before Festus, 8 appealeth 
unto Cesar, 23 and declared innocent by 

Festus. 

NOW when Festus was come 
into the province, after three 
days he ascended from Cesarea to 
Jerusalem. 

2 Then "the high priest and the 
chief of the Jews informed him 
against Paul, and besought him, 

3 And desired favour against 
him, that he would send for him 
to Jerusalem, laying wait b in the 
way to kill him. 

4- But Festus answered, that Paul 
should be kept at Cesarea, and 
that he himself would depart 
shortly thither. 

5 Let them therefore, said he, 
which among you are able, go 
down with me, and accuse this 
man ; c if there be any wickedness 
in him. 

6 And when he had tarried 
among them 1 more than ten days, 
be went downunto Cesarea; and the 
next day, sitting on the judgment 
seat, commanded Paul to be 
brought. 

7 And when he was come, the 
Jews which came down from Jer- 
usalem stood round about, d and 
laid many and grievous complaints 
against Paul, which they could not 
prove. 

8 While he answered for himself, 
Neither against 6 the law of the 
Jews, neither against the temple, 
nor yet against Cesar, have I of- 
fended any thing at all. 

9 But Festus, t willing to do the 
Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, 
and said, Wilt thou go up to Jeru- 
salem, and there be judged of these 
things before me? 

10 Then said Paul, I stand at 
Cesar's judgment seat, where I 
ought to be judged : to the Jews 
have I done no wrong, as thou 
very well knowest. 

11 For 9 if I be an offender, or 
have committed any thing worthy 
of death, I refuse not to die : but 
if there be none of these things 
whereof these accuse me, no man 
may deliver me unto them. h I 
appeal unto Cesar. 

12 Then Festus, when he had 
conferred with the council, an- 
swered, Hast thou appealed unto 
Cesar? unto Cesar shalt thou go. 

13 J|f And after certain days king 
Agrippa and Bernice came unto 
Cesarea to salute Festus. 



Agrippa visits Festus. 



ACTS, XXVI. 



Paul declares 



conversion. 



14 And when theyhad been there 
many days, Festus declared Paul's 
cause unto the king, saying, • There 
is a certain man left in bonds by 
Felix: 

15 About whom, when I was at 
Jerusalem, the chief priests and 
the elders of the Jews informed 
me, desiring to have judgment 
against him. 

16 To whom I answered, It is not 
the manner of the Komans to 
deliver any man to die, before that 
he which is accused have the 
accusers face to face, and have 
licence to answer for himself 
concerning the crime laid against 
him. 

17 Therefore, when they were 
come hither, without any delay 
on the morrow I sat on the judg- 
ment seat, and commanded the 
man to be brought forth. 

18 Against whom, when the ac- 
cusers stood up, they brought none 
accusation of such things as I sup- 



19 But i had certain ques- 
tions against him of their own 
superstition, and of one Jesus, 
which was dead, whom Paul 
affirmed to be alive. 

20 And because 2 I doubted of 
such manner of questions, I asked 
him whether he would go to Jeru- 
salem, and there be judged of these 
matters. 

21 But when Paul had appealed 
to be reserved unto the 3 hearing 
of Augustus, I commanded him 
to be kept till I might send him 
to Cesar. 

22 Then k Agrippa said unto Fes- 
tus, I would also hear the man 
myself. To-morrow, said he, thou 
shalt hear hhru 

23 And on the morrow, when 
Agrippa was come, and Bernice, 
with * great pomp, and was en- 
tered into the place of hearing, 
with the chief captains and prin- 
cipal men of the city, at Festus' 
commandment Paul was brought 
forth. 

24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, 
and all men which are here pres- 
ent with us, ye see this man, about 
whom all the multitude of the 
Jews have dealt with me, both at 
Jerusalem, and also here, crying 
that he ought not m to live any 
longer. 

25 But when I found that n he had 
Committed nothing worthy of 
death, and that he himself hath

appealed to Augustus, I have 
determined to send him. 

26 Of whom I have no certain 
thing to write unto my lord. 
"Wherefore I have brought him 
forth before you, and specially be- 
fore thee, O king Agrippa, that, 
after examination had, I might 
have somewhat to write. 

27 For it seemeth to me unrea- 
sonable to send a prisoner, and 
not withal to signify the crimes 
laid against him. 

CHAPTER XXYI. 

1 Paul, before Agrippa, declaretli his life, 
12 and his wonderful conversion, etc. 

THEN Agrippa said unto Paul, 
Thou art permitted to speak 
for thyself. Then Paul stretched 
forth the hand, and answered for 
himself: 

2 I think myself happy, king 
Agrippa, because I shall answer 
for myself this day before thee 
touching all the things whereof I 
am accused of the Jews: 

3 Especially because I know thee to 
be l expert in all customs and 
questions which are among the 
Jews : wherefore I beseech thee to 
hear me patiently. 

4 My manner of life from my 
youth, which was at the first 
among mine own nation at Jeru- 
salem, know all the Jews; 

5 Which knew me from the be- 
ginning, if they would testify, 
that a after the most straitest 
sect of our religion 1 lived a Phari- 
see. 

6 And now I stand and am 
judged for the hope of b the 
promise made of God unto our 
fathers : 

7 Unto which promise c our twelve 
tribes, instantly serving God 2 day 
and night, hope d to come. For 
which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I 
am accused of the Jews. 

8 Why should it be thought a 
thing incredible with you, that 
God should raise 6 the dead? 

9 1/ verily thought with myself, 
that I ought to do many things 
contrary to the name of Jesus of 
Nazareth. 

10 Which 9 thing I also did in 
Jerusalem: and many of the saints 
did I shut up in prison, having re- 
ceived authority h from the chief 
priests; and when they were put to 
death, I gave my voice against 
them. 

11 And * I punished them oft in

every synagogue, and compelled 
them to blaspheme; and, being ex- 
ceedingly mad against them, I 
persecuted them even unto strange 
cities. 

12 Whereupon, S as I went to 
Damascus with authority and 
commission from the chief priests, 

13 At mid-day, king, I saw in 
the way a light from heaven, above 
the brightness of the sun, shining 
round about me and them which 
journeyed with me. 

14 And when we were all fallen 
to the earth, I heard a voice speak- 
ing unto me, and saying in the 
Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why 
persecutest thou me? It is hard 
for thee to kick against the pricks. 

15 And I said, Who art thou, 
Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, 
whom thou persecutest. 

16 But rise, and stand upon thy 
feet: for I have appeared unto 
thee for this purpose, to k make 
thee a minister and a witness both 
of these things which thou hast 
seen, and of those things in the 
which I will appear unto thee; 

17 Delivering thee from the peo- 
ple, and from the Gentiles, l unto 
whom now I send thee, 

18 To m open their eyes, and n to 
turn them from darkness to light, 
and "from the power of Satan unto 
God, that p they may receive for- 
giveness of sins, and q inheritance 
among them which are r sanctified 
by faith that is in me. 

19 Whereupon, king Agrippa, 
I was not disobedient unto the 
heavenly vision: 

20 But s showed first unto them 
of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, 
and throughout all the coasts of 
Judea, and then to the Gentiles, 
that they should repent and ton 
to God, and do ' works meet for 
repentance. 

21 For these causes u the Jews 
caught me in the temple, and went 
about to kill me. 

22 Having therefore obtained 
help of God, I continue unto this 
day, witnessing both to small 
and great, saying none other 
things than those which " the 
Prophets and w Moses did say 
should come; 

23 That x Christ should suffer, and 
that he y should be the first that 
should rise from the dead, and 
should z show light unto the 
people, and to the Gentiles.

himself, Festus said with a loud 
voice, Paul, a thou art beside thy- 
self; much learning doth make thee 
mad. 

25 But he said, I am not mad, 
most noble Festus; but speak 
forth the words of truth and 
soberness. 

26 For the king knoweth of 
these tilings, before whom also I 
speak freely: for I am persuaded 
that none of these things are hid- 
den from him ; for this thing was 
not done in a comer. 

27 King Agrippa, believest thou 
the Prophets? I know that thou 
believest. 

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, 
Almost h thou persuadest me to be 
a Christian. 

29 And Paul said, c I would to 
God, that not only thou, but also 
all that hear me this day, were 
both almost, and altogether such 
as I am, except these bonds. 

30 And when he had thus spoken, 
the king rose up, and the govern- 
or, and Bernice, and they that sat 
with them. 

31 And when they were gone 
aside, they talked between them- 
selves, saying, d This man doeth 
nothing worthy of death or of 
bonds. 

32 Then said Agrippa unto Fes- 
tus, This man might have been set 
at liberty, e if he had not appealed 
unto Cesar.

1 Paul, shipping toward Rome, 9 foretelleth 
the danger of the voyage, but is not be- 
lieved, etc. 
AND when a it was determined 
that we should sail into Italy, 
they delivered Paul and certain 
other prisoners unto one named 
Julius, a centurion of Augustus' 
band. 

2 And entering into a ship of 
Adramyttium, we launched, mean- 
ing to sail by the coasts of Asia: 
one h Aristarchus, a Macedonian of 
Thessalonica, being with us. 

3 And the next day we touched 
at Sidon. And Julius c courteously 
entreated Paul, and gave him liberty 
to go unto his friends to refresh 
himself. 

4 And when we had launched 
from thence, we sailed under Cy- 
prus, because the winds were con- 
trary. 

5 And when we had sailed over 
the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, 
we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 



Paul's voyage to Rome 



acts, xxvn. 



He foretells its danger. 



6 And there the centurion found 
a ship of Alexandria sailing into 
Italy; and he put us therein. 

7 And when we had sailed slowly 
many days, and scarce were come 
over against Cnidus, the wind not 
suffering us, we sailed under x 
Crete, over against Salmone ; 

8 And, hardly passing it, came 
unto a place which is called the 
Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was 
the city o/Lasea. 

9 % Now when much time was 
spent, and when sailing was now 
dangerous, 2 because the fast was 
now already past, Paul admonished 
them, 

10 And said unto them, Sirs, I 
perceive that this voyage will be 
with 3 hurt and much damage, not 
only of the lading and ship, but 
also of our lives. 

11 Nevertheless the centurion be- 
lieved the master and the owner of 
the ship, more than those things 
which were spoken by Paul 

12 And because the haven was 
not commodious to winter in, the 
more part advised to depart thence 
also, if by any means they might 
attain d to Phenice, and there to 
winter; which is an haven of Crete, 
and lieth toward the south-west 
and north-west. 

13 And when the south wind 
blew softly, supposing that they 
had obtained their purpose, loos- 
ing thence, they sailed close by 
Crete. 

14 But not long after there 4 arose 
against it a tempestuous wind, 
called 5 Euroclydon. 

15 And when the ship was 
caught, and could not bear up into 
the wind, we let her drive. 

16 And running under a certain 
island which is called Clauda, we 
had much work to come by the 
boat: 

17 Which when they had taken 
up, they used helps, undergirding 
the ship; and, fearing lest they 
should fall into the quicksands, 
strake sail, and so were driven. 

18 And we being exceedingly 
tossed with a tempest, the next 
day they lightened the ship ; 

19 And the third day e we cast 
out with our own hands the tack- 
ling of the ship. 

20 And when neither sun nor 
stars in many days appeared, and 
no small tempest lay on us, all hope 
that we should be saved was then 
taken away.

21 f But after long abstinence 
Paul stood forth in the midst of 
them, and said, Sirs, ye should have 
hearkened unto me, and not have 
loosed from Crete, and to have 
gained this harm and loss. 

22 And now I exhort you to be of 

good cheer : for there shall be no 
>ss of any man's life among you, 
but of the ship. 

23 For /there stood by me this 
night the angel of Cod, whose I 
am, and whom 9 1 serve, 

24 Saying, h Fear not, Paul ; thou 
must be brought * before Cesar: 
and, lo, God hath given i thee all 
them that sail with thee. 

25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good 
i cheer : for I * .believe God, that it 

shall be even as it was told me. 

26 Howbeit J we must be castupon 
a certain island. 

27 But when the fourteenth night 
was come, as we were driven up 
and down in Adria, about mid- 
night the shipmen deemed that 
they drew near to some country; 

28 And sounded, and found it 
twenty fathoms: and when they 
had gone a little farther, they 
sounded again, and found it fifteen 
fathoms. 

29 Then fearing lest they should 
have fallen upon rocks, they cast 
four anchors out of the stem, 
and wished for the day. 

30 And as the shipmen were 
about to flee out of the ship, when 
they had let down the boat into 
the sea, under colour as though 
they would have cast anchors out 
of the foreship, 

31 Paul said to the centurion and 
to # the soldiers, "* Except these 
abide in the ship, ye cannot be 
saved. 

32 Then the soldiers cut off the 
ropes of the boat, and let her fall 
off. 

33 And while the day was coming 
on, Paul besought them all to take 
meat, saying, This day is the four- 
teenth day that ye have tarried and 
continued fasting, having taken 
nothing. 

34 Wherefore I pray you to take 
some meat; for this is for your 
health: for n there shall not an 
hair fall from the head of any of 
you. 

35 And when he had thus spoken, 
he took bread, and ° gave thanks 
to God in presence of them all: 
and when he had broken it, he 
began to eat.

36 Then were they all of good 
cheer, and they also took some 
meat. 

37 And we were in all in the ship 
two hundred threescore and six- 
teen p souls. 

38 And when they had eaten 
enough, they lightened the ship, 
and q cast out the wheat into the 
sea. 

39 And when it was day, they 
knew not the land : hut they dis- 
covered a certain creek with a 
shore, into the which they were 
minded, if it were possible, to 
thrust in the ship. 

40 And when they had 6 taken 
up the anchors, they committed 
themselves unto the sea, and loosed 
the rudder-bands, and hoised up 
the mainsail to the wind, and made 
toward shore. 

41 And failing into a place where 
two seas met, r they ran the ship 
aground: and the fore part stuck 
fast, and remained immoveable, 
but the hinder part was broken 
with the violence of the waves. 

42 And the soldiers' counsel s was 
to kill the prisoners, lest any 
of them should swim out, and 
escape. 

43 But the centurion, < willing to 
save Paul, kept them from their 
purpose; and commanded that 
they which could swim should cast 
themselves first into tjie sea, and get 
to land: 

44 And the rest, some on boards, 
and some on broken pieces of the 
ship. And so it came to pass, that 
they escaped M all safe to land. 

CHAPTER XXVITL 

1 Paul entertained by the barbarians : 5 
The viper on his hand hurteth him not. 
8 He healeth many diseases in the island. 

AND when they were escaped, 
then they knew that the island 
was called a Melita. 

2 And the barbarous people 
showed & us no little kindness: for 
they kindled a fire, and received 
usevery one, because of the present 
rain, and because of the cold. 

3 And when Paul had gathered 
a bundle of sticks, and laid them on 
the fire, there came a viper out of 
the heat, and fastened on his hand. 

4 And when the barbarians saw 
the venomous beast hang on his 
hand, they said among themselves, 
No c doubt this man is a murderer, 
whom, though he hath escaped the 
sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to 
live.

5 And he shook off the beast into 
the fire, and d felt no harm. 

6 Howbeit they looked when he 
should have swollen, or fallen down 
dead suddenly: but after they had 
looked a great while, and saw no 
harm come to him, they changed 
their minds, and e said that he was 
a god. 

7 ^ In the same quarters were 
possessions of the chief man of the 
island, whose name was Pubhus ; 
who received us, and lodged us 
three days courteously. 

8 And it came to pass, that the 
father of Pubhus lay sick of a fever 
and of a bloody flux: to whom 
Paul entered in, and / prayed, and 
laid 9 his hands on him, and healed 
him. 

9 So when this was done, others 
also, which had diseases in the 
island, came, and were healed : 

10 Who also honoured us with 
many h honours ; and when we de- 
parted, they laded us with such 
things as were necessary. 

11 % And after three months we 
departed in a ship of Alexandria, 
which had wintered in the isle, 
whose sign was Castor and Pollux. 

12 And landing at Syracuse, we 
tanied there three days. 

13 And from thence we fetched a 
compass, and came to Rhegium: 
and after one day the south wind 
blew, and we came the next day to 
Puteoli : 

14 Where we found brethren, and 
were desired to tarry with them 
seven days : and so we went toward 
Rome. 

15 And from thence, when the 
brethren heard of us, they came to 
meet us as far as Appii Forum, and 
the Three Taverns : whom when 
Paul saw, he thanked God, and 
took courage. 

16 And when we came to Rome, 
the centurion delivered the prison- 
ers to the captain of the guard: 
but f Paul was suffered to dwell by 
himself with a soldier that kept 
him. 

17 And it came to pass, that after 
three days Paul called the chief of 
the Jews together : and when they 
were come together, he said unto 
them, Men and brethren, though 
I i have committed nothing against 
the people or customs of our fathers, 

Jet was I h delivered prisoner from 
erusalem into the hands of the

me, would have let me go, because 
there was no cause of death in me. 

19 But when the Jews spake 
against it, I m was constrained to 
appeal unto Cesar; not that I had 
ought to accuse my nation of. 

20 For this cause therefore have I 
called for you, to see you, and to 
speak with you: because that n for 
the hope of Israel I am bound with 
this ° chain. 

21 And they said unto him, "We 
neither received letters out of 
Judea concerning thee, neither 
any of the brethren that came 
showed or spake any harm of thee. 

22 But we desire to hear of thee 
what thou thinkest: for as con- 
cerning this sect, we know that

believed not.

among themselves, they departed, 
after that Paul had spoken one 
word, Well spake the Holy Ghost 
by Esaias the prophet unto our 
fathers, 

26 Saying, ' Go unto this people, 
and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and 
shall not understand; and seeing 
ye shall see, and not perceive : 
m 27 For u the heart, of this people 
is waxed gross, and their ears are 
dull of hearing, and their eyes have 
they closed; lest they should see 
with their eyes, and hear with their 
ears, and understand with their 
heart, and should be converted, 
and I should heal them. 

28 Be it known therefore unto 
you, that the salvation of God is 
sent " unto the Gentiles, and tliat 
they will hear it. 

29t And when he had said these

by his prophets in the holy Scrip- 
tures,) 

3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ 
our Lord, which was made of the 
seed of David according to the 
flesh; 

4 And l declared to be the Son of 
God with power, according d to the 
Spirit of holiness, by the resurrec-

Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

8 First, 9 1 thank my God through 
Jesus Christ for you all, that h your 
faith is spoken of throughout the 
whole world. 

9 For God is my witness, whom I 
serve 3 with my spirit in the gospel 
of his Son, that without ceasing I 
make mention of you always in 
my prayers; 

10 Making request (if by any 
means now at length I might have 
a prosperous journey * by the will 
of God) to come unto you. 

11 For I long to see you, that-?" I 
may impart unto you some spi- 
ritual gift, to the end ye may be 
established; 

12 That is, that I may be com- 
forted together * with you by the 
mutual faith both of you and 
me. 

13 Now I would not have you 
ignorant, brethren, that k often- 
times I purposed to come unto 
you, (but was l let hitherto,) that 
I might have some fruit 6 among

you also, even as among other 
Gentiles. 

14 I * am debtor both to the 
Greeks and to the Barbarians, 
both to the wise and to the un- 
wise. 

15 So, as much as in me is, I am 
ready to preach the Gospel to you 
that are at Rome also. 

16 For n I am not ashamed of the 
gospel of Christ: for °it is the 
power of God unto salvation to 
every one that believeth; to the 
Jew first, and also to the Greek. 

17 For p therein is the righteous- 
ness of God revealed from faith to 
faith: as it is written, q The just 
shall live by faith. 

18 For r the wrath of God is re- 
vealed from heaven against all un- 
godliness and unrighteousness of 
men, 3 who hold the truth in un- 
righteousness. 

19 Because J that which may be 
known of God is manifest 6 in 
them; for M God hath showed it 
unto them. 

20 For ''the invisible things of 
him from the creation of the 
world are clearly seen, being un- 
derstood by the things that are 
made, even his eternal power and 
Godbead; so 7 that they are with- 
out excuse: 

21 Because that, when they knew 
God, they glorified him not as 
God, '""neither were thankful; 
but x became vain in their ima- 
ginations, and their foolish heart 
was darkened. 

22 Professing y themselves to be 
wise, they became fools, 

23 And changed the glory of the 
uncorruptible *God into an image 
made like to corruptible man, and 
to birds, and four-footed beasts, 
and creeping things. 

24 Wherefore a God also gave 
them up to uncleanness through 
the lusts of their own hearts, * to 
dishonour their own bodies be- 
tween c themselves: 

25 Who changed <*the truth of 
God into a e lie, and worshipped 
and served the creature 8 more 
than the Creator, who is blessed 
for ever. Amen. 

26 For this cause God gave them 
up unto vile /affections: for even 
their women did change the na- 
tural use into that which is against 
nature: 

27 And likewise also the men, 
leaving the natural use of the 
woman, burned in their lust one

working that which is unseemly, 
and receiving in themselves that 
recompence of their error which 
was meet. 

28 And even as they did not like 
9 to retain God in their knowledge, 
God gave them over to 10 a repro- 
bate mind, to do those things 
which 9 are not convenient: 

29 Being filled with all unrighte- 
ousness, fornication, wickedness, 
covetousness, maliciousness; full of 
envy, murder, debate, deceit, ma- 
Hgnity; whisperers, 

30 Backbiters, haters of God, 
despiteful, proud, boasters, in- 
ventors of evil things, disobedient 
to parents, 

31 Without understanding, cove- 
nant-breakers, n without natural 
affection, implacable, unmerciful: 

32 Who knowing the judgment 
of God, that they which commit 
such things are worthy of death, 
not only do the same, but 12 have 
pleasure in them that do them. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 They who condemn sin in others, and do 
the like themselves, are inexcusable, 
whether Jews or Gentiles. 17 'Jlie Jews, 
sinning against boasted light, doubly 
guilty. 

THEREFORE thou art inexcu- 
sable, man, whosoever thou 
art that judgest: for wherein thou 
judgest another, thou condemnest 
thyself; for thou that judgest doest 
the same things. 

2 But we are sure that the judg- 
ment of God is according °to truth 
against them which commit such 
things. 

3 And l thinkest thou this, O 
man, that judgest them which do 
such things, and doest the same, 
that thou shalt escape the judg- 
ment of God? 

4 Or despisest thou c the riches 
of his goodness and forbearance 
and d long-suffering; "not know- 
ing that the goodness of God lead- 
eth thee to repentance? 

5 But after thy hardness and im- 
penitent heart /treasurest up unto 
thyself wrath against the day of 
wrath and revelation of the righte- 
ous judgment of God; 

6 Who y will render to every man 
according to his deeds:

tinuance in well-doing seek for

truth, but obey unrighteousness, 
indignation and wrath, 

9 Tribulation and anguish, upon 
every soul of man that doeth evil, 
of the i Jew first, and also of the 

1 Gentile; 

10 But k glory, honour, and peace, 
to every man that worketh good, 
to the Jew first, and also to the 

2 Gentile. 

11 For there is l no respect of 
persons with God. 

12 For as many as have sinned 
without law shall also perish with- 
out law; and as many as have 
sinned in the law shall be judged 
by the law, 

13 (For m not the hearers of the 
law are just before God, but the 
doers of the law shall be justified. 

14 For when the Gentiles, which 
have not the law, do by nature the 
things contained in the law, these, 
having not the law, are a law unto 
themselves: 

15 Which show the work of the 
law written in their hearts, 3 their 
conscience also bearing witness, 
and their thoughts 4 the mean while 
accusing or else excusing one 
another,) 

16 In " the day when God shall 
judge the secrets of men ° by Jesus 
Christ according to my gospel. 

17 Behold, ^thou art called a 
Jew, and restest q in the law, r and 
makest thy boast of God, 

18 And 3 knowest his will, and 
5 approvest the things _ that are 
more excellent, being instructed 
out of the law; 

19 And art confident that thou 
thyself art a guide of the blind, a 
fight of them which are in dark- 
ness, 

20 An instructor of the foolish, a 
teacher of babes, f which hast the 
form of knowledge and of the 
truth in the law. 

21 Thou u therefore which teach- 
est another, teachest thou not thy- 
self? thou that preachest a man 
should not steal, dost thou steal? 

22 Thou that sayest a man 
should not commit adultery, dost 
thou commit adultery? thou that 
abhorrest idols, v dost thou com- 
mit sacrilege? 

23 Thou that makest thy boast 
of the law, through breaking the 
law dishonourest thou God?

phemed among the Gentiles 
through you, as it w is written.

fiteth, if thou keep the law: but if 
thou be a breaker of the law, thy 
circumcision is made uncircum- 
cision. 

26 Therefore y if the uncircum- 
cision keep the righteousness of 
the law, shall not his uncircum- 
cision be counted for circum- 
cision? 

27 And shall not uncircumcision 
which is by nature, if it fulfil the 
law, judge *thee, who by the 
letter and circumcision dost trans- 
gress the law? 

28 For ° he is not a Jew which is 
one outwardly; neither is that cir- 
cumcision which is outward in the 
flesh: 

29 But he is a Jew 5 which is one 
inwardly; and c circumcision is that- 
of the heart, d in the spirit, and 
not in the letter; whose praise is 
not of men, but of God. 

CHAPTER m. 

1 The Jews' prerogative not made void by 
the unbelief of some. 20 None justified 
by the law, but all by God's grace. 

WHAT advantage then hath 
the Jew? or what profit is 
there of circumcision? 

2 Much every way: chiefly, be- 
cause that unto ° them were com- 
mitted the oracles of God. 

3 For what if b some did not be- 
lieve? shall their c unbelief make 
the faith of God without effect? 

4 God d forbid: yea, let e God be 
true, but every •''man a bar; as it 
is written, ^That thou mightest 
be justified in thy sayings, and 
mightest overcome when thou art 
judged. 

5 But if our unrighteousness com- 
mend the righteousness of God, 
what shall we say? Is God unright- 
eous who taketh vengeance? * (I 
speak as a man) 

6 God forbid: for then * how shall 
God judge the world? 

7 For if the truth of God hath 
more abounded through my he 
unto his glory; why yet am I also 
judged as a sinner? 

8 And not rather, (as we be 
slanderously reported, and as some 
affirm that we say,) Let 5 us dp 
evil, that good may come? whose 
damnation is just. 

9 What then? are we better than 
they? No, in no wise: for we have 
before l proved both Jews and 
Gentiles, that k they are all under 
sin; 

10 As it is written, 'There is 
none righteous, no, not one: 

3X 



None justified by tlie law. 



ROMANS, IV. 



Abraham justified by faith. 



11 There is none that under- 
standeth, there is none that seek- 
eth after God. 

12 They are all gone out of the 
way, they are together become 
unprofitable; there is none that 
doeth good, no, not one. 

13 Their "' throat is an open se- 
pulchre: with their tongues they 
have used deceit: the " poison of 
asps is under their lips: 

14 Whose ° mouth is full of curs- 
ing and bitterness: 

15 Their ^feet are swift to shed 
blood: 

16 Destruction and misery are in 
their ways; 

17 And the way of peace have 
they not known: 

18 There s is no fear of God 
before their eyes. 

19 Now we know that what 
things soever the law saith, it saith 
to them who are under the law; 
that r every mouth may be stopped, 
and ' all the world may become 
2 guilty before God. 

20 Therefore ' by the deeds of the 
law there shall no flesh be justified 
in his sight: for w by the law is the 
knowledge of sin. 

21 But now "the righteousness 
of God without the law is mani- 
fested, being witnessed by the Law 
and w the Prophets; 

22 Even the righteousness of God 
which is by x faith of Jesus Christ 
unto all and upon all them that 
believe; for y there is no difference: 

23 For *all have sinned, and 
come short of the glory of God; 

24 Being justified freely a by his 
grace through the redemption that 
is in Christ Jesus: 

25 Whom God hath 3 set forth 
to h be a propitiation through faith 
in his blood, to declare his right- 
eousness for the 4 remission of sins 
that are past, through the forbear- 
ance of God; 

26 To declare, I say, at this time 
his righteousness: that he might 
be just, and the justifier of him 
which believeth in Jesus. 

27 Where c is boasting then? It 
is excluded. By what law? of 
works? Nay; but by the law of 
faith. 

28 Therefore we conclude a that a 
man is justified by faith without 
the deeds of the law. 

29 Is he the God of the Jews only? 
is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, 
of the Gentiles also: 

30 Seeing it is one God which

shall justify the circumcision by 
faith, and uncircumcision through 
faith. 

31 Do we then make void the 
law through faith? God forbid: 
yea, we establish the law. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Abraham' justified by faith: 18 his faith 
recorded for those who believe. 

WHAT shall we then say that 
Abraham our father, as per- 
taining to the flesh, hath found? 

2 For if Abraham were justified 
by works, he hath whereof to glory; 
but not before God. 

3 For what saith the Scripture? 
Abraham believed a God, and it 
was counted unto him for right- 
eousness. 

4 Now to h him that worketh is 
the reward not reckoned of grace, 
but of debt. 

5 But to him that worketh not, 
but believeth on him that justifieth 
the c ungodly, his faith is counted 
for righteousness. 

6 Even as David also describeth 
the blessedness of the man, unto 
whom God d imputeth righteous- 
ness without works, 

7 Saying, e Blessed are they whose 
iniquities are forgiven, and whose 
sins are covered. 

8 Blessed is the man to whom the 
Lord will not impute sin. 

9 Cometh this blessedness then 
upon the circumcision only, or 
upon the uncircumcision also? for 
we say that faith was reckoned to 
Abraham for righteousness. 

10 How was it then reckoned? 
when he was in circumcision, or in 
uncircumcision? Not in circum- 
cision, but in uncircumcision. 

11 And y he received the sign of 
circumcision, a seal of the right- 
eousness of the faith which he had 
yet being uncircumcised: that g he 
might be the father of all them 
that believe, though they be not 
circumcised; that righteousness 
might be imputed unto them also: 

12 A'ndthe father of circumcision 
to them who are not of the circum- 
cision only, but who also walk in 
the steps of that faith of our father 
Abraham, which he had being yet 
uncircumcised. 

13 For the promise, that he should 
be the h heir of the world, was not 
to Abraham, or to his seed, through 
the law, but through the righte- 
ousness of faith. 

14 For i if they which are of the 
law be heirs, faith is made void, 



Abraham justified by faith. 



ROMANS, Y. 



Reconciliation by Christ. 



and the promise made of none 
effect : 

15 Because the law worketh 
wrath : for where no law is, tliere is 
no transgression. 

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it 
might be* by grace ; to the end the 
promise might he sure to all the 
seed; not to that only which is of 
the law, but to that also which is 
of the faith of Abraham; k who is 
the father of us all, 

17 (As it is written, I have made 
thee a father of many nations,) 
1 before him whom he believed, 
even God, who l quickeneth the 
dead, and calleth those things 
which be not as though they were. 

18 Who against hope believed in 
hope, that he might become the 
father of many nations, according 
to that which was spoken, n So 
shall thy seed be. 

19 And being not weak in faith, 
he ° considered not his own body 
now dead, when he was about an 
hundred years old, neither yet 
the deadness of Sara's womb : 

20 He staggered not at the pro- 
mise of God through unbelief ; but 
was strong in faith, giving glory to 
God; 

21 And being fully persuaded that 
what he had promised he was able 
also to perform. 

22 And therefore it was imputed 
to him for righteousness. 

23 Now p it was not written for 
his sake alone, that it was imputed 
to him ; 

24 But for us also, to whom it 
shall be imputed, if we believe q on 
him that raised up Jesus our Lord 
from the dead; 

25 Who r was delivered for our 
offences, and was s raised again for 
our justification. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Being iiistified by faith, we have peace 
with God. 12 Sin and death came by 
Adam, 17 righteousness and life by 
Jesus Christ. 

THEREFORE being justified by 
faith, we have a peace with 
God through our Lord Jesus 
Christ: 
2 By 6 whom also we have access 
by faith into this grace c wherein 
we stand, d and rejoice in hope of 
the glory of God. 

_ 3 And not only so, but 6 we glory 
in tribulations also: knowing that 
tribulation worketh patience ; 
4 And patience, experience ; and 
experience, hope :

5 And * hope maketh not asham- 
ed; because g the love of God is 
shed abroad in our hearts by the 
Holy Ghost, which is given unto 
us. 

6 For when we were yet without 
strength, 1 in due time Christ died 
for the ungodly. 

7 For scarcely for a righteous man 
will one die : yet peradventure for 
a good man some would even dare 
to die. 

8 But h God commendeth his love 
toward us, in that, while we were 
yet sinners, Christ died for us. 

9 Much more then, being now 
justified by • his blood, we shall be 
saved •?' from wrath through him. 

10 For if, when we were enemies, 
we k were reconciled to God by the 
death of his Son, much more, being 
reconciled, we shall be saved l by 
his life. 

11 And not only so, but we also 
joy in God through our Lord Jesus 
Christ, by whom we have now re- 
ceived the 2 atonement. 

12 Wherefore, as m by one ;man 
sin entered into the world, and 
death by sin ; and so death passed 
upon all men, 3 for that all have 
sinned : 

13 (For until the law sin was in 
the world : but n sin is not imputed 
when there is no law. 

14 Nevertheless death reigned 
from Adam to Moses, even over 
them that'had not sinned after the 
similitude of Adam's transgression, 
who is the figure of him that was 
to come. 

15 But not as the offence, so also 
is the free gift. For if through the 
offence of one many be dead, much 
more the grace of God, and the 
gift by grace, which is by one man, 
Jesus Christ, hath abounded ° unto 
many. 

16 And not as it was by one that 
sinned, so is the gift: for the judg- 
ment was by one to condemnation, 
but the free gift is of many offences 
unto justification. 

17 For if i by one man's offence 
death reigned by one ; much more 
they which receive abundance of 
grace and of the gift of righteous- 
ness shall reign in life by one, 
Jesus Christ.) v 

18 Therefore as 5 by the offence of 
one judgment came upon all men to 
condemnation; even. so 6 by the 
righteousness of one the free gift 
came upon v all men unto justifica- 
tion of life. 



Exhortation to holiness. 



ROMANS, VI. 



The end of sin. 



19 For as by one man's disobe- 
dience many were made sinners; 
so by the obedience of one shall 
many be made righteous. 

20 Moreover q the law entered, 
that the offence might abound. 
But where sin abounded, grace 
did r much more abound: 

21 That as sin hath reigned unto 
death, even so might grace reign 
through righteousness imto eternal 
life by Jesus Christ our Lord. 

CHAPTER VI. 
1 We must not live in sin, 2 for we are 
dead unto it; 12 nor let sin reign in 
us. 

WHAT shall we say then ? Shall 
we continue in sin, that grace 
may abound? 

2 God forbid. How shall we, 
that are dead a to sin, live any 
longer therein? 

3 Know ye not, that b so many of 
us as x were baptized into Jesus 
Christ c were baptized into his 
death? 

4 Therefore we are d buried with 
him by baptism into death; that 
like e as Christ was raised up from 
the dead by the glory of the 
Father, / even so we also should 
walk in newness of life. 

5 For 9 if we have been planted 
together in the likeness of his 
death, we shall be also in the like- 
ness of his resurrection: 

6 Knowing this, that h our old 
man is crucified with him, that 
the * body of sin might be de- 
stroyed, that henceforth we should 
not serve sin. 

7 For he that is dead is 2 freed 
from sin. 

8 Now^' if we be dead with Christ, 
we believe that we shall also live 
with him : 

9 Knowing that k Christ being 
raised from the dead dieth no 
more; death hath no more do- 
minion over him. 

10 For in that he died, he died 
unto sin once: but in that he 
liveth, he liveth unto God. 

11 Likewise reckon ye also your- 
selves to be dead indeed unto sin, 
but l alive unto God through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. 

12 Let m not sin therefore reign in 
your mortal body, that ye should 
obey it in the lusts thereof. 

13 Neither yield ye your members 
as 3 instruments of unrighteousness 
unto sin: but yield yourselves 
unto God, as those that are alive 
from the dead, and your members

as instruments of righteousness 
unto God. 

14 For' 1 sin shall not have do- 
minion over you: for ye are not 
under the law, but under grace. 

15 What then? shall we sin, ° be- 
cause we are not under the law, 
but under grace? God forbid. 

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye 
yield yourselves servants to obey, 
his servants ye are to whom ye 
obey ; whether of sin unto death, 
or of obedience unto righteous- 
ness? 

17 But God be thanked, that ye 
were the servants of sin, but ye 
have obeyed from the heart that 
form of doctrine 4 which was de- 
livered you. 

18 Being then^ made free from 
sin, ye became the servants of 
righteousness. 

19 I speak after the manner of 
men because of the infirmity of 
your flesh : for as ye have yielded 
your members servants to unclean- 
ness and to iniquity unto iniquity; 
even so now yield your members 
servants to righteousness unto 
holiness. 

20 For when ye were the servants 
of sin, ye were free 5 from right- 
eousness. 

21 What fruit had ye then in 
those things whereof ye are now 
ashamed? for the end of those 
things is death. 

22 But now being made free from 
sin, and become servants to God r 
ye have your fruit unto holiness, 
and the end everlasting life. 

23 For q the wages of sin is death; 
but the r gift of God is eternal life 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

CHAPTER VIL 
1 No law hath power over a man longer 
than he liveth. 5 The law is holy. 

KNOW ye not, brethren, (for I 
speak to them that know the 
law,) how that the law hath do- 
minion over a man as long as he 
liveth? 

2 For a the woman which hath 
an husband is bound by the law 
to her husband so long as he liveth; 
but if the husband be dead, she is 
loosed from the law of her hus- 
band. 

3 So then h if, while her husband 
liveth, she be married to another 
man, she shall be called an adul- 
teress: but if her husband be dead, 
she is free from that law; so that 
she is no adulteress, though she 
be married to another man. 



Nature of the- law. 



P.OMANS, VIII. Who are free from condemnatioru 



4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also 
are become c dead to the law by 
the body of Christ; that ye should 
be d married to another, even to 
him who is raised from the dead, 
that we should bring forth fruit 
unto God. 

5 For when we were in the flesh, 
the x motions of sins, which were 
by the law, did work in our mem- 
bers 6 to bring forth fruit unto 
death. 

6 But now we are delivered from 
the law, 2 that being dead wherein 
we were held; that we should 
serve f in newness of spirit, and not 
in the oldness of the letter. 

7 What shall we say then? Is the 
law sin? God forbid. Nay, 9 I had 
not known sin but by the law: 
for I had not known lust, 3 except 
the law had said, h Thou shalt not 
covet. 

8 But * sin, taking occasion by 
the commandment, wrought in me 
all manner of concupiscence. For 
without i the law sin was dead. 

9 For I was alive without the 
law once : but when the com- 
mandment came, sin revived, and 
I died. 

10 And the commandment, 
which * was ordained to life, I 
found to be unto death. 

11 For sin, talcing occasion by the 
commandment, deceived me, and 
by it slew me. 

12 Wherefore Hhe law is holy, 
and the commandment holy, and 
just, and good. 

13 Was then that which is good 
made death unto me? God for- 
bid. But sin, that it might appear 
sin, working death in me by that 
which is good; that sin by the 
commandment might become ex- 
ceeding sinfuL 

14 For we know that the law is 
spiritual: but I am carnal, m sold 
under sin. 

15 For that which I do 1 4 allow 
not: for what n I would, that do 
I not; but what I hate, that 
do I. 

16 If then I do that which I 
would not, I consent unto the law 
that it is good. 

17 Now then it is no more I that 
do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 

18 For I know that ° in me (that 
is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good 
thing: for to will is present with 
me ; but how to perform that which 
is good I find not. 

19 For the good that I would I

members, warring against the law 
of my mind, and bringing me into 
captivity to the law of sin which 
is in my members. 

24 O wretched man that I am ! 
who shall deliver me from 5 the 
body of this death? 

25 I thank God through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. So then with the 
mind I myself serve the law of 
God, but with the flesh the law of 
sin. 

CHAPTEE Vni. 

1 Who are free from condemnation. 5, 13 
Wliat harm cometh of the flesh, 6, 14 
what good of the Spirit, 17 and what of 
being God's children. 31 The Christians 
hope. 

HABERE is therefore now no con- 
demnation to them which are 
in Christ Jesus, who a walk not 
after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 
2 For 6 the law of c the Spirit of 
life in Christ Jesus hath made me 
free from the law of sin and 
death. 

. 3 For d what the law could not 
do, in that it was weak through 
the flesh, God, sending his own 
Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, 
and l for sin, condemned sin in 
the flesh: 

4 That the righteousness of the 
law might be fulfilled in us, who 
walk not after the flesh, but after 
the Spirit. 

5 For they that are after the flesh 
do mind the things of the flesh; 
but they that are after the Spirit 
the e things of the Spirit. 

6 For 2 to be carnally minded is 
death; but 3 to be spiritually 
minded is life and peace. 

7 Because 4 the carnal mind is 
enmity against God: for it is not 
subject to the law of God, neither 
indeed can be. 

8 So then they that are in the 
flesh cannot please God. 

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but 
in the Spirit, if so be that / the 
Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if 
any man have not the ° Spirit of 
Christ, he is none of his. 



The privileges of believers. 



ROMANS, Vm. 



The Christian's hope. 



10 And if Christ be in you, the 
"body is dead because of sin; but 
the Spirit is life because of right- 
eousness. 

11 But if the Spirit of him that 
raised up Jesus from the dead 
dwell in you, h he that raised up 
Christ from the dead shall also 
quicken your mortal bodies 5 by 
his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

12 " Therefore, brethren, we are 
debtors, not to the flesh, to live 
after the flesh. 

13 For * if ye live after the flesh, 
ye shall die: but if ye through the 
Spirit do mortify the deeds of the 
body, ye shall live. 

14 For as many as are led by the 
Spirit of God, they are the sons of 
God. 

15 For^" ye have not received the 
spirit of bondage again * to fear; 
but ye have received the Spirit 
of l adoption, whereby we cry, 
Abba, Father. 

16 The m Spirit itself beareth wit- 
ness with our spirit, that we are 
the children of God: 

17 And if children, then heirs; 
heirs n of God, and joint-heirs with 
Christ; if so be that we suffer with 
him, that we may be also glorified 
together. 

% 18 For I reckon that ° the suffer- 
ings of this present time are not 
worthy to be compared with the 
glory which shall be revealed in 
us. 

19 For p the earnest expectation 
of the creature waiteth for the 
manifestation q of the sons of God. 

20 For r the creature was made 
subject to vanity, not willingly, 
but^ by reason of him who hath 
subjected the same in hope; 

21 Because the creature itself also 
shall be deliveredfrom the bondage 
of corruption into the glorious 
liberty of the children of God. 

22 For we know that 6 the whole 
creation groaneth * and travaileth 
in pain together until now. 

23 And not only they, but our- 
selves also, which have ' the first- 
fruits of the Spirit, even we our- 
selves groan within ourselves, 
waiting u for the adoption, to wit, 
the redemption of our body. 

24 For we are saved by hope : but 
hope that " is seen is not hope : for 
what a man seeth, why doth he 
yet hope for? 

25 But if we hope for that we see 
not, then do we with patience wait 
for it,

26 Likewise the Spirit also help- 
eth our infirmities : for w we know 
not what we should pray for as we 
ought: but * the Spirit itself 
maketh intercession for us with 
groanings which cannot be ut- 
tered. 

27 And y he that searcheth the 
hearts knoweth what is the mind 
of the Spirit, 7 because he maketh 
intercession for the saints z accord- 
ing to the will of God. 

28 And we know that a all things 
work together for good to them 
that love God, to them b who are 
the called according to his pur- 
pose. 

29 For whom c he did foreknow, 
he d also did predestinate * to be 
conformed to the image of his Son, 
that t he might be the first-born 
among many brethren. 

30 Moreover whom he did pre- 
destinate, them he 9 also called; 
and whom he called, them he also 
justified ; h and whom he justified, 
them he also glorified. 

31 What shall we then say to 
these things? If God be for us, 
who can be against us? 

32- He that spared not his own 
Son, but delivered him up for us 
all, how shall he not with him also 
freely give us all things? 

33 Who shall lay any thing to 
the charge of God's elect? * It is 
God that justifieth; 

34 Who is he that condemn- 
eth? It is Christ that died, yea 
rather, that is risen again, who 
is even at the right hand of God, 
who 5 also maketh intercession for 
us. 

35 Who shall separate us from 
the love of Christ? shall tribula- 
tion, or distress, or persecution, or 
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or 
sword? 

36 As it is written, * For thy sake 
we are killed all the day long; we 
are accounted as sheep for the 
slaughter. 

37 Nay, * in all these things we 
are more than conquerors, through 
him that loved us. 

38 For I am persuaded, that nei- 
ther death, nor life, nor angels, 
nor m principalities, nor powers, 
nor things present, nor things to 
come, 

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor 
any other creature, shall * be able 
to separate us from the love of 
God, which is in Christ Jesus our 
Lord. 



PauUs sorrow for the Jews. 



EOMANS, IX. 



The sovereignty of God. 



CHAPTEE IX. 

I Paul's sorrow for the Jews. 7 All Abra- 
ham's seed were not the children of the 
promise. 25 The calling of the Gentiles, 
and rejection of the Jews, foretold. 

I SAY the truth in Christ, I lie 
not, my conscience also bear- 
ing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 

2 That I have great heaviness 
and continual sorrow in my heart. 

3 For a I could wish that myself 
were x accursed from Christ for my 

1 brethren, my kinsmen according 
to the flesh: 

4 Who 6 are Israelites; c to whom 
i pertaineth the adoption, and d the 

glory, and the 2 covenants, and 
the giving of the law, and the 
service of God, and e the promises; 

5 Whose are the fathers, and of 
whom as concerning the flesh 
Christ came, f who is over all, God 
blessed for ever. Amen. 

6 JSTot as though the word of God 
hath taken none effect. For g they 
are not all Israel which are of 
Israel: 

7 Neither, h because they are the 
seed of Abraham, are they all chil- 
dren: but, In * Isaac shall thy seed 
be called. 

8 That is, They which are the 
children of the flesh, these are not 
the children of God: but the chil- 
dren of the promise are counted 
for the seed. 

9 For this is the word of promise, 
At i this time will I come, and 
Sara shall have a son. 

10 And not only this; but when 
Bebecca k also had conceived by 
one, eve n by our father Isaac, 

II (For the children being l not yet 
born, neither having done any 
good or evil, that the purpose of 
God according to election might

1 1 might show my power in thee, 
and that my name might be 
declared throughout all the 
earth. 

18 Therefore hath he mercy on 
whom he will have mercy, and 
•whom he will he hardeneth. 

19 Thou wilt say then unto me, 
Why doth he yet find fault? r for 
who hath resisted his will? 

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou 
that 5 rephest against God? s Shall 
the thing formed say to him that 
formed it, Why hast thou made 
me thus? 

21 Hath not the t potter power 
over the clay, of the same lump to 
make u one vessel unto honour, 
and another unto dishonour? 

22 What if God, willing to show 
his wrath, and to make his power 
known, endured with much long- 
suffering the " vessels of wrath 
6 fitted to destruction; 

23 And that he might make 
known the riches of his glory on 
the vessels of mercy, which he had 
afore prepared unto glory, 

24 Even us, whom he hath called, 
not of the Jews only, but also of 
the Gentiles? 

25 As he saith also in Osee, K I 
will call them my people, which 
were not my people; and her be- 
loved, which was not beloved. 

26 And x it shall come to pass, 
that in the place where it was said 
unto them, Ye are not my people ; 
there shall they be called the chil- 
dren of the living God. 

27 Esaias also crieth concerning 
Israel, Though y the number of 
the children of Israel be as the 
sand of the sea, a remnant shall be 
saved: 

28 For he will finish 7 the work, 
and cut it short in righteousness : 
because z a short work will the 
Lord make upon the earth. 

29 And as Esaias said before, 
Except a the Lord of Sabaoth had 
left us a seed, we b had been as 
Sodoma, and been made like unto 
Gomorrha. 

30 What shall we say then? That 
the Gentiles, which followednot 
after righteousness, have attained 
to righteousness, even the right- 
eousness which is of faith; 

31 But Israel, which followed 
after the law of righteousness, 
hath c not attained to the law. of 
righteousness. 

32 Wherefore? Because they sought 
it not by faith, but as it were by 



Salvation to all believers.

CHAPTEE X. 

1 Paul's prayer for Israel, 11 Salvation 
open to Jeivs and Gentiles. 

BRETHREN, my heart's desire 
and prayer to God for Israel 
is, that they might be saved. 

2 For I bear them record ° that 
they have a zeal of God, but not 
according to knowledge. 

3 For they being ignorant of 
God's 6 righteousness, and going 
about to establish their own c right- 
eousness, have not d submitted 
themselves unto the righteousness 
of God. 

4 For e Christ is the end of the 
law for righteousness to every one 
that believeth. 

5 For Moses describeth the right- 
eousness which is of the law/ That 
the man which doeth those things 
shall live by them. 

6 But the righteousness which is 
of faith speaketh on this wise, 9 Say 
not in thine heart, Who shall 
ascend into heaven? (that is, to 
bring h Christ down from above;) 

7 Or, Who shall descend into the 
deep? (that is, to * bring up Christ 
again from the dead.) 

8 But what saith it? The word 
is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, 
and in thy heart: that is, the word 
of faith, which we preach; 

9 That if thou shalt confess with 
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and 
shalt believe in thine heart that 
God hath raised him from the 
dead, thou shalt be saved. 

10 For with the heart man be- 
lieveth unto righteousness; and 
with the mouth confession is made 
unto salvation. 

11 For the Scripture saith, -? Who- 
soever believeth on him shall not 
be ashamed. 

12 For * there is no difference 
between the Jew and the Greek: 
for the l same Lord over alibis 
rich unto all that call upon him. 

13 For "whosoever shall call 
upon the name of the Lord shall 
be saved. 

14 How then shall they call on 
him in whom they have not be- 
lieved? and how shall they believe 
in him of whom they have not 
heard? and how shall they hear 
without ° a preacher?

peace, and bring glad tidings of 
good things ! 

16 But q they have not all obeyed 
the Gospel. For Esaias saith, r Lord, 
who hath believed x our 2 report? 

17 So then faith cometh by hear- 
ing, and hearing by the word of 
God. 

18 But I say, Have they not 
heard? Yes verily, s their sound 
went into all the earth, and their 
words unto the ends of the world. 

19 But I say, Did not Israel 
know? First Moses saith, * I will 
provoke you to jealousy by them 
that are no people, and by a u foolish 
nation I will anger you. 

20 But Esaias is very bold, and 
saith, v I was found of them that 
sought me not; I was made mani- 
fest unto them that asked not 
after me. 

21 But to Israel he saith, All day 
long I have stretched forth my 
hands unto a disobedient and 
gainsaying people. 

CHAPTEE XL 

1 A remnant of Israel saved by grace. 17 
The Gentiles may notboast against them. 

I SAY then, a Hath God cast 
away his people? God forbid. 
For b I also am an Israelite, of the 
seed of Abraham, of the tribe of 
Benjamin. 

2 God hath not cast away his 
people which he c foreknew. Wot 
ye not what the Scripture saith x of 
Elias? how he maketh intercession 
to God against Israel, saying, 

3 Lord, d they have killed thy 
prophets, and digged down thine 
altars; and I am left alone, and 
they seek my life. 

4 But what saith the answer of 
God unto him? I have reserved to 
myself seven thousand men, who 
have not bowed the knee to the 
image of Baal. 

5 Even 6 so then at this present 
time also there is a remnant 
according to the election of 
grace. 

6 And /if by grace, then is it no 
more of works; otherwise grace is 
no more grace. But if it be of 
works, then is it no more grace; 
otherwise work is no more work. 

7 What then? 9 Israel hath not 
obtained that which he seeketh 
for; but the h election hath obtain- 
ed it, and the rest were 2 blinded 



Of the admission of the Gentiles. KOMANS, XII. 



Future salvation of Israel. 



8 (According as it is written, 
God ^hath given them the spirit 
of 3 slumber, ■?' eyes that they should 
not see, and ears that they should 
not hear;) unto this day. 

9 And David saith, *Let their 
table be made a snare, and a trap, 
and a stumbling-block, and a 
recompence unto them: 

10 Let their eyes be darkened, 
that they may not see, and bow 
down their back alway. 

11 I say then, Have they stum- 
bled that they 'should fall? God 
forbid: but rather through m their 
fall salvation is come unto the Gen- 
tiles, for to provoke them to jeal- 
ousy. 

12 Now if the fall of them be the 
riches of the world, and the 4 di- 
minishing of them the riches of 
the Gentiles; how much more 
their n fulness! 

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, 
inasmuch as ° I am the apostle of 
the Gentiles, I magnify mine 
office; 

14 If by any means I may pro- 
voke to emulation them which are 
my flesh, and p might save some of 
them. 

15 For if the casting away of 
them be the reconciling of the 
world, what shall the receiving of 
them be, but life from the dead? 

16 For 2 if the first-fruit be holy, 
the lump is also holy; and if the 
root be holy, so are the branches. 

17 And if r some of the branches 
be broken off, * and thou, being a 
wild olive tree, wert graffed in 
6 among them, and with them 
partakest of the root and fatness 
of the olive tree; 

18 Boast 'not against the 
branches. But if thou boast, thou 
bearest not the root, but the root 
thee. 

19 Thou wilt say then, The 
branches were broken off, that I 
might be graffed in. 

20 Well; because of unbelief they 
were broken off, and thou stand- 
est by faith. Be u not high-minded, 
but " fear: 

21 For if God spared not the na- 
tural branches, take, heed lest he 
also spare not thee. 

22 Behold therefore the goodness 
and severity of God: on them 
which fell, severity; but toward 
thee, goodness, if w thou continue 
in his goodness: otherwise z thou 
also shalt be cut off. 

23 And they also, » if they abide

not still in unbelief, shall be 
graffed in: for God is able to graff 
them in again. 

24 For if thou wert cut out of the 
olive tree, which is wild by nature, 
and wert graffed contrary to na- 
ture into a good olive tree; how 
much more shall these, which be 
the natural branches, be graffed 
into their own olive tree! 

25 For I would not, brethren, 
that ye should be ignorant of this 
mystery, lest ye should be wise in 
your own conceits, that 6 blindness 
in part is happened to Israel, un- 
til z the fulness of the Gentiles be 
come in. 

26 And so "all Israel shall be 
saved: as it is written, 6 There shall 
come out of Sion the Deliverer, 
and shall turn away ungodliness 
from Jacob: 

27 For c this is my covenant unto 
them, when I shall take away 
their sins. 

28 As concerning the Gospel, 
they are enemies for your sakes: 
but as touching the election, they 
are d beloved for the fathers' sakes. 

29 For the gifts and calling of 
God are without e repentance. 

30 For as ye in times past have 
not 7 believed God, yet have now 
obtained mercy through their un- 
belief; 

31 Even so have these also now 
not 8 believed, that through your 
mercy they also may obtain 
mercy. 

32 For God hath 9 concluded them 
all in unbelief, that he might have 
mercy upon all. 

33 O the depth of the riches both 
of the wisdom and knowledge of 
God! how unsearchable are his 
judgments, and his ways past find- 
ing out! 

34 For 'who hath known the 
mind of the Lord? or who hath 
been his counsellor? 

35 Or s who hath first given to 
him, and it shall be recompensed 
unto him again? 

36 For A of him, and through 
him, and to him, are all things: to 
10 whom be glory for ever. Amen. 

CHAPTER Xn, 

1 Holiness enjoined. 9 Sundry practical 
duties recommended. 

I BESEECH you therefore, breth- 
ren, by the mercies of God, that 
ye a present your bodies 6 a living 
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto 
God, which is your reasonable ser- 
vice. 



Various duties recommended. 



ROMANS, Xffl. 



Love fulfils the law. 



2 And c be not conformed to this 
world; but d be ye transformed by 
the renewing of your mind, that 
ye may prove "what is that good, 
and acceptable/and perfect will of 
God. 

3 For I say, through the grace 
given unto me, to every man that 
is among you, not to think of him- 
self more highly than he ought to 
think; but to think 1 soberly, ac- 
cording as God hath dealt /to 
every man the measure of faith. 

4 For as we have many members 
in one body, and all members 
have not the same office; 

5 So ^we, being many, are one 
body in Christ, and every one 
members one of another. 

6 Having A then gifts differing 
according to the grace that is given 
to us, whether prophecy, i let us 
prophesy according to the propor- 
tion of faith; 

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our 
ministering; or ^' he that teacheth, 
on teaching; 

8 Or k he that exhorteth, on ex- 
hortation: he that 2 giveth, let him 
do it 3 with simplicity; 'he that 
ruleth, with diligence; he that 
showeth mercy, with cheerful- 
ness. 

9 Let love be without dissimula- 
tion. Abhor that m which is evil; 
cleave to that which is good. 

10 Be kindly affectioned one to 
another *with brotherly love; in 
honour preferring one another; 

11 Not slothful in business; n fer- 
vent in spirit; serving the Lord ; 

12 Rejoicing in hope; p patient 
in tribulation; continuing instant 
in prayer; 

13 Distributing 9 to the necessity 
of saints; given r to hospitality. 

14 Bless s them which persecute 
you: bless, and curse not. 

15 Rejoice with them that do re- 
joice, and weep with them that 
weep. 

16 Be of the same mind one to- 
ward another. Mind not high 
things, but 5 condescend to men of 
low estate. Be not wise in your 
own conceits. 

17 Recompense to no man evil 
for evil. Provide things honest in 
the sight of all men. 

18 If it be possible, as much as 
lieth in you, live peaceably with 
all men.

yourselves, but rather give place 
unto wrath: for it is written, * Ven-

CHAPTER XLTL 

1 Of subjection to magistrates. 8 Love 
containeth the whole law, etc. 

LET every soul °be subject unto 
the higher powers. For 6 there 
is no power but of God: the powers 
that be are 1 ordained of God. 

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth 
the power, resisteth the ordinance 
of God: and they that resist shall 
receive to themselves damna- 
tion. 

3 For e rulers are not a terror to 
good works, but to the evil. Wilt 
thou then not be afraid of the 
power? Do d that which is good, 
and thou shalt have praise of the 
same: 

4 For he is the minister of God 
to thee for good. But if thou do 
that which is evil, be afraid; for he 
beareth not the sword in vain: for 
he is the minister of God, a re- 
venger to execute wrath upon him 
that doeth evil. 

5 Wherefore e ye must needs be 
subject, not only for wrath, but 
also for conscience' sake. 

6 For, for this cause pay ye tri- 
bute also: for they are God's 
ministers, attending continually 
upon this very thing. 

7 Render /therefore to all their 
dues: tribute to whom tribute is 
due; custom to whom custom; ^fear 
to whom fear; honour to whom 
honour. 

8 Owe no man any thing, but to 
love one another: *for he that 
loveth another hath fulfilled the 
law. 

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit 
adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou 
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not 
bear false witness, Thou shalt not 
covet; and if there he any other 
commandment, it is briefly com- 
prehended in this saying, namely, 
Thou i shalt love thy neighbour as 
thyself ..>-■, . 

10 Love worketh no ill to ins 
neighbour: therefore love is the 
fulfilling of the law. 

11 And that, knowing the time, 
that now it is high time t to awake 
out of sleep: for now is our sarva-

2 For one believeth that he b may 
eat all tilings: another, who is 
weak, eateth herbs. 

3 Let not him that eateth despise 
him that eateth not; and c let not 
him which eateth not judge him 
that eateth: for God hath received 
him. 

4 Who d ait thou that judgest 
another man's servant? to his own 
master he standeth or falleth. 
Yea, he shall be holden up; for 
God is able to make him stand. 

5 One 6 man esteemeth one day 
above another: another esteemeth 
every day alike. Let every man be 
2 fully persuaded in his own mind. 

6 Pie that 3 regardeth the day, 
regardeth it unto the Lord; and 
he that regardeth not the day, to 
the Lord he doth not regard it. 
He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, 
for /he giveth God thanks; and 
he that eateth not, to the Lord 
he eateth not, and giveth God 
thanks. 

7 For 9 none of us liveth to him- 
self, and no man dieth to him- 
self. 

8 For whether we live, we live 
unto the Lord; and whether we 
die, we die unto the Lord: whe- 
ther we live therefore, or die, we 
are the Lord's. 

9 For A to this end Christ both 
died, and rose, and revived, that 
he might be * Lord both of the 
dead and living. 

10 But why dost thou judge thy 
brother? or why dost thou set at 
nought thy brother? for i we shall 
all stand before the judgment seat 
of Christ. 

11 For it is written, * As I live, 
eaith the Lord, every knee shall

bow to me, and every tongue shall 
confess to God. 

12 So then l every one of us shall 
give account of himself to God. 

13 Let us not therefore judge one 
another any more : but judge this 
rather, that "* no man put a sturn- 
blingblock, or an occasion to fall, 
in Ms brother's way. 

14 I know, and am persuaded by 
the Lord Jesus, n that there is no- 
thing 4 unclean of itself : but ° to 
him that esteemeth any thing to 
be 6 unclean, to him it is un- 
clean. 

15 But if thy brother be grieved 
with thy meat, now walkest thou 
not 6 charitably. Destroy not him 
with thy meat for whom Christ 
died. 

16 Let p not then your good be 
evil spoken of: 

17 For 3 the kingdom of Cod is 
not meat and drink; but righteous- 
ness, and peace, and joy in the 
Holy Ghost. 

18 For he that in these things 
serveth Christ r is, acceptable to 
God, and approved of men. 

19 Let s us therefore follow after 
the things which make for peace, 
and things wherewith * one may 
edify another. 

20 For meat destroy not the work 
of God. All u things indeed are 
pure; but it is evil for that man 
who eateth with offence. 

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, 
nor to drink wine, nor any thing 
whereby thy brother stumbleth, or 
is offended, or is made weak. 

22 Hast thou faith? have it to 
thyself before God. Happy is he 
that condemneth not himself in 
that thing which he alloweth. 

23 And he that 7 doubteth is 
damned if he eat, because he eateth 
not of faith: for whatsoever v is not 
of faith is sin. 

CHAPTER XV. 

1 The strong ought to bear with the weak. 
2 We may not please ourselves. 

WE a then that are strong ought 
to bear the b infirmities of 
the weak, and not to please our- 
selves. 

2 Let c every one of us please his 
neighbour for his good d to edifica- 
tion. 

3 For even Christ pleased not 
himself; but, as it is written, 6 The 
reproaches of them that reproached 
thee fell on me.

to the Gentiles. 



"written aforetime were written for 
our learning; that we through pa- 
tience and comfort of the Scrip, 
tures might have hope. 

5 Now 9 the God of patience and 
consolation grant you to be like 
minded one toward another 1 ac- 
cording to Christ Jesus; 

6 That ye may with one mind 
and one mouth glorify God, even 
the Father of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, 

7 Wherefore receive ye one an- 
other, h as Christ also received us, 
to the glory of God. 

8 Now I say that * Jesus Christ 
was a minister of the circumcision 
for the truth of God, ^ to confirm 
the promises made unto the fa- 
thers: 

9 And k that the Gentiles might 
glorify God for Ms mercy; as it is 
written, z For this cause I will con- 
fess to thee among the Gentiles, 
and sing unto thy name. 

10 And again he saith, m Rejoice, 
ye Gentiles, with his people. 

11 And again, n Praise the Lord, 
all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all 
ye people. 

12 And again, Esaias saith, ° There 
shall he a root of Jesse, and he 
that shall rise to reign over the 
Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles 
trust. 

13 Now the God of hope fill you 
with all joy and peace in believ- 
ing, that ye may abound in hope, 
through the power of the Holy 
Ghost. 

14 And p I myself also am per- 
suaded of you, my brethren, that 
ye also are full of goodness, q filled 
with all knowledge, able also to 
admonish one another. 

15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have 
written the more boldly unto you 
in some sort, as putting you in 
mind, because r of the grace that 
is given to me of God, 

16 That s I should be the minister 
of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, 
minis tering the gospel of God, 
that the 2 offering up of the Gen- 
tiles might be acceptable, being 
sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 

17 I have therefore whereof I 
may glory through Jesus Christ 
in * those things which pertain to 
God. 

18 For I will not dare to speak of 
any of those things u which Christ 
hath not wrought by me, * to make 
the Gentiles obedient, byword and 
deed,

19 Through w mighty signs and 
wonders, by the power of the Spi- 
rit of God; so that from Jerusalem, 
and round about unto LTyricum, I 
have fully preached the gospel of 
Christ. 

20 Yea, so have I strived to 
preach the Gospel, not where 
Christ was named, x lest I should 
build upon another man's founda- 
tion: 

21 But as it is written, y To whom 
he was not spoken of, they shall 
see ; and they that have not heard 
shall understand. 

22 For which cause also z I have 
been 3 much hindered from coining 
to you. 

23 But now having no more place 
in these "parts, and having a great 
desire these many years to come 
unto you; 

24 Whensoever I take my jour- 
ney into Spain, I will come to you: 
for I trust to see you in my jour- 
ney, 6 and to be brought on my 
way thitherward by you, if first I 
be somewhat filled 4 with your 
company. 

25 But now c I go unto Jerusalem 
to minister unto the saints. 

26 For d it hath pleased them of 
Macedonia and Achaia to make a 
certain contribution for the poor 
saints which are at Jerusalem. 

27 It hath pleased them verily; 
and their debtors they are. For if 
the Gentiles have been made par- 
takers of their spiritual things, 
their * duty is also to minister unto 
them in carnal things. 

28 When therefore I have per 
formed this, and have sealed to 
them ^ this fruit, I will come by you 
into Spain. 

29 And ° I am sure that, when I 
come unto you, I shall come in 
the h fulness of the blessing of the 
gospel of Christ. 

30 Now I beseech you, breth- 
ren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's 
sake, and * for the love of the 
Spirit, that- J ye strive together 
with me in your prayers to God for 
me; 

31 That k I may be delivered 
from them that 5 do not believe in 
Judea; and that my service which 
i" have for Jerusalem may be ac- 
cepted of the saints; 

32 That I may come unto you 
with joy by l the will of God, and 
may with you m be refreshed. 

33 Now the God of peace be with 
you alL Amen.

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, 
mark them-' which cause divisions

trine which ye have learned; and 
avoid k them. 

18 For they that are such serve

which is good, and 3 simple con- 
cerning evil.

Christ be with you all. Amen. 

25 Now to him that is of power 
to stablish you " according to my 
gospel, and the preaching of Jesus 
Christ, according w to the revela- 
tion of the mystery, x which was 
kept secret since the world began, 

26 But y now is made manifest, 
and by the scriptures of the pro- 
phets, according to the command-

Dissensions reproved. 



3 Grace be unto you, and peace, 
from God our Father, and from 
the Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 I thank my God always on 
your behalf, for the grace of God 
which is given you by Jesus Christ; 

5 That in every thing ye are en- 
riched by him, /in all utterance, 
and in all knowledge; 

6 Even as ^the testimony of 
Christ was confirmed in you: 

7 So that ye come behind in no 
gift; waiting for the x corning of 
our Lord Jesus Christ: 

8 Who ft shall also confirm you 
unto the end, * that ye may be blame- 
less in the day of our Lord Jesus 
Christ. 

9 God S is faithful, by whom ye 
were called unto 7 <the fellowship 
of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, 
by the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, that ye all speak the same 
thing, and that there be no 2 divi- 
sions among you; but that ye be 
perfectly joined together in the 
same mind and in the same judg- 
ment. 

11 For it hath been declared 
unto me of you, my brethren, by 
them which are of the house of Chloe, 
that there are contentions among 
you. 

12 Now this I say, Hhat every 
one of you saith, I am of Paul; 
and I m of Apollos; and I of "Ce- 
phas; and I of Christ. 

13 Is "Christ divided? was Paul 
crucified for you? or were ye bap- 
tized in the name of Paul? 

14 I thank God that I baptized 
none of you but ^Crispus 2 and 
Gaius; 

15 Lest any should say that I had 
baptized in mine own name. 

16 And I baptized also the house- 
hold r of Stephanas: besides, I 
know not whether I baptized any 
other. 

17 For 'Christ sent me not to 
baptize, but to preach the Gospel: 
not with wisdom of 3 words, lest 
the cross of Christ should be made 
of none effect. 

18 For the preaching of the cross 
is to them 'that perish foolish- 
ness; but unto us which are saved 
it is "the power of God. 

19 For it is written, W I will 
destroy the wisdom of the wise, 
and will bring to nothing the 
understanding of the prudent.

of this world? hath y not God 
made foolish the wisdom of this 
world? 

21 For 'after that in the wisdom 
of God the world by wisdom knew 
not God, it pleased God by the 
foolishness of preaching to save 
them that believe. 

22 For the a Jews require a sign, 
and the Greeks seek after wis- 
dom: 

23 But we preach Christ crucified, 
unto the b Jews a stumbhngblock, 
and unto the Greeks foolishness; 

24 But unto them which are 
called, both Jews and Greeks, 
Christ c the power of God, and 
the d wisdom of God. 

25 Because e the foolishness of 
God is wiser than men; and the 
weakness of God is stronger than 
men. 

26 For ye see your calling, breth, 
ren, how that /not many wise men 
after the flesh, not many mighty, 
not many noble, are called: 

27 But s God hath chosen the 
foolish things of the world to con- 
found the wise; and God hath 
chosen the weak things of the 
world to confound the things 
which are mighty; 

28 And base things of the world, 
and things which are despised, 
hath God chosen, yea, and h things 
which are not, * to bring to nought 
things that are: 

29 That no flesh should glory in 
his presence. 

30 But of him are ye in Christ 
Jesus, who of God is made unto us 
wisdom, and righteousness, and 
sanctification, and redemption: 

31 That, according as it is writ- 
ten, >He that glorieth, let him 
glory in the Lord.

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom 
among them that 9 are perfect: 
yet not. the wisdom of this world, 
nor of the princes of this world, 
that come to nought: 

7 But we speak the wisdom of 
God in a mystery, even the hidden 
wisdom, h which God ordained 
before the world unto our glory: 

8 Which * none of the princes of 
this world knew: for had they 
known it, they would not have 
crucified the Lord of glory. 

9 But as it is written, * Eye hath 
not seen, nor ear heard, neither 
have enteredinto the heart of man, 
the things which God hath pre- 
pared for them that love him. 

10 But* God hath revealed them 
unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit 
searcheth all things, yea, the deep 
things of Go A 

11 For what man knoweth the 
things of a man, l save the spirit of 
man which is in him? m even so 
the things of God knoweth no 
man, but the Spirit of God. 

12 Now we have received, not the 
spirit of the world, but n the Spirit 
which is of God; that we might 
know the things that are freely 
given to us of God. 

13 "Which ° things also we speak, 
not in the words which man's wis- 
dom teacheth, but which the Holy 
Ghost teacheth; comparing spirit- 
ual things with spiritual. 

14 But 'the natural man re- 
ceiveth not the things of the Spirit 
of God: for they are foolishness 
unto him: neither q can he know 
ihem, because they are spiritually 
discerned. 

15 But r he that is spiritual 3 judg- 
eth all things, yet he himself is 
4 judged of no man. 

16 For *who hath known the 
mind of the Lord, that he 5 may 
instruct him? But * we have the 
mind of Christ.

whereas there is among you envy- 
ing, and strife, and x divisions, 
are ye not carnal, and walk 2 as 
men? 

4 For while one saith, I am of 
Paul; and another, lam of ApoUos; 
are ye not carnal? 

5 Who then is Paul, and who is 
Apollos, but ministers by whom ye 
believed, even b as the Lord gave 
to every man? 

6 I c have planted, d Apollos wa- 
tered; but God e gave the increase. 

7 So then neither is he that 
planteth any thing, neither he 
that watereth; but God that giveth 
the increase. 

8 Now he that planteth and he 
that watereth are one: /and every 
man shall receive his own reward, 
according to his own labour. 

9 For g we are labourers together 
with God: ye are God's 3 husbandry, 
ye are God's h building. 

10 According to the grace of God 
which is given unto me, as a wise 
master-builder, I have laid *the 
foundation, and another buildeth 
thereon. But i let every man take 
heed how he buildeth thereupon. 

11 For other foundation can no 
man lay than k that is laid, which 
is Jesus Christ. 

12 Now if any man build upon 
this foundation gold, silver, pre- 
cious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 

13 Every man's work shall be 
made manifest: for the day l shall 
declare it, because it 4 shall be re- 
vealed by fire; and the fire shall 
try every man's work of what sort 
it is. 

14 If any man's work abide which 
he hath built thereupon, he shall 
receive a reward. 

15 If any man's work shall be 
burnt, he shall suffer loss: but he 
himself shah be saved; m yet so as 
by fire. 

16 Know ye not that ye are the 
temple of God, and that the Spirit 
of God dwelleth in you? 

] 7 If any man 5 defile the temple 
of God, him shall God destroy:, for 
the n temple of God is holy, which 
temple ye are. 

18 Let no man deceive himself. 
If any man among you seemeth 
to be wise in this world, let him 
become a fool, that he may be 
wise. 

19 For the wisdom of this world 
is foolishness with God, For it is 
written, ° He taketh the "wise in 
their own craftiness. 



Hov) to account 



1 CORINTHIANS, IV, Y. of the ministers of Christ 



20 And again, p The Lord knoweth 
the thoughts of the wise, that they 
are vain. 

21 Therefore let no man glory in 
men. For 2 all things are yours; 

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or 
Cephas, or the world, or life, or 
death, or things present, or things 
to come; all are yours; 

23 And - r ye are Christ's; s and 
Christ is God's. 

CHAPTER IV. 

I How to account of Christ's ministers. 8 
To a self-sufficient vanity Paul opposeth 
Jus own afflicted state, etc. 

LET a man so account of us as 
of the ministers of Christ, a and 
stewards of the mysteries of God. 

2 Moreover it is required in stew- 
ards, that a man he found faith- 
ful. 

3 But with me it is a very small 
thing that I should he judged of 
you, or of man's x judgment: yea, I 
judge not mine own self. 

4 For I know nothing by myself; 
yet am I not hereby justified: but 
ne that judgeth me is the Lord. - 

5 Therefore 6 judge nothing before 
the time, until the Lord come, 
who both will bring to fight the 
hidden things of darkness, and 
will make manifest the counsels 
of the hearts: and c then shall 
every man have praise of God. 

6 And these things, brethren, I 
have in a figure transferred to my- 
self and to Apollos for your sakes; 
that d ye might learn in us not to 
think of men above that which is 
written, that no one of you be 
puffed up for one against another. 

7 For who 2 maketh thee to differ 
from another? and e what hast thou 
that thou didst not receive? now 
if thou didst receive it, why dost 
thou glory, as if thou hadst not 
received it? 

8 Now ye are full, /now ye are 
rich, ye have reigned as kings 
without us: and I would to God ye 
did reign, that we also might reign 
with you. 

9 For I think that God hath set 
forth us 3 the apostles last, 9 as it 
were appointed to death: for h we 
are made a 4 spectacle unto the 
world, and to angels, and to men. 

10 We are * fools for Christ's sake, 
but ye are wise in Christ: 3 we are 
weak, but ye are strong: ye are 
honourable, but we are despised. 

11 Even unto this present hour 
we both hunger, and thirst, and

are naked, and are k buffeted, and 
have no certain dwelling-place; 

12 And 'labour, working with 
our own hands: m being reviled, 
we bless; being persecuted, we 
suffer it;, 

13 Being defamed, we entreat: 
we are made as the filth of the 
world, and are the ofiscouring of all 
things unto this day. 

14 I write not these things to 
shame you, but, as my beloved 
sons, I warn you. 

15 For though ye have ten thou- 
sand instructors in Christ, yet have 
ye not many fathers: for n in Christ 
Jesus I have begotten you through 
the Gospel. 

16 Wherefore I beseech you, ° be 
ye followers of me. 

17 For this cause have I sent 
unto you Timotheus, p who is my 
beloved son, and faithful in the 
Lord, who shall bring you into 
remembrance of my ways which 
be in Christ, as I teach every 
where in every church. 

18 Now some are puffed up, as 
though I would not come to you. 

19 But I 3 will come to you 
shortly, if the Lord will, and will 
know, not the speech of them 
which are puffed up, but the 
power. 

20 For r the kingdom of God is not 
in word, but in power. 

21 What will ye? shall I come 
unto you with a rod, or in love, 
and in the spirit of meekness? 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Of the incestuous person. 6 Of necessity 

the old leaven must be purged out, etc. 

IT is reported commonly that 
there is fornication among you, 
and such fornication as is not so 
much as named ° among the Gen- 
tiles, b that one should have his 
father's wife. 

2 And ye are puffed up, and have 
not rather mourned, that he that 
hath done this deed might be 
taken away from among you. 

3 For d I verily, as absent in 
body, but present in spirit, have 
1 judged already, as though I were 
present, concerning him that hath 
so done this deed, 

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, when ye are gathered to- 
gether, and my spirit, * with the 
power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

5 To deliver / such an one unto 
Satan for the destruction of the 
flesh, that the spirit may be saved 
in the day of the Lord Jesus. 



How law-suits may he avoided. 1 CORINTHIANS, VL 



Purity enjoined. 



6 Your glorying is not good. 
Know ye not that ° a little leaven 
leaveneth the whole lump? 

7 Purge out therefore the old 
leaven, that ye may be a new- 
lump, as ye are unleavened. For 
even h Christ our * passover 2 is 
sacrificed for us : 

8 Therefore S let us keep 3 the 
feast, not with k old leaven, neither 
with the leaven of malice and 
wickedness; but with the unleav- 
ened bread of sincerity and truth. 

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle 
not 1 to company with fornica- 
tors: 

10 Yet not altogether with the 
fornicators of this world, or with 
the covetous, or extortioners, or 
with idolaters; for then must ye 
needs go out m of the world. 

11 But now I have written unto 
you not to keep company, n if any 
man that is called a brother be a 
fornicator, or covetous, or an idol- 
ater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or 
an extortioner; with such an one 
no ° not to eat. 

12 For what have I to do to judge 
them also p that are without? do 
not ye judge them that are within? 

13 But them that are without 
God q judge th. Therefore put away 
from among yourselves that wicked 
person. 

CHAPTER VI. 

1 Of bringing controversies before heathen 
judges. 1 How law-suits may be avoided . 

DARE any of you, having a 
matter against another, go to 
law before the unjust, and not be- 
fore the saints? 

2 Do ye not know that ° the 
saints shall judge the world? and 
if the world shall be judged by 
you, are ye unworthy to judge the 
smallest matters? 

3 Know ye not that we shall 
judge b angels? how much more 
things that pertain to this life! 

4 If then ye have judgments of 
things pertaining to this life, set 
them to judge who are least 
esteemed in the church. 

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, 
that there is not a wise man among 
you? no, not one that shall be able 
to judge between his brethren? 

6 But brother goeth to law with 
brother, and that before the unbe- 
lievers. 

7 Now therefore there is utterly a 
fault among you, because ye go to 
law one with another. c Why do 
ye not rather take wrong? why do

ye not rather suffer yourselves to be 
defrauded? 

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, 
and that d your brethren. 

9 Know ye not that e the un- 
righteous shall not inherit the 
kingdom of God? Be not deceived: 
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, 
nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor 
abusers of themselves with man- 
kind, 

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor 
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extor- 
tioners, shall inherit the kingdom 
of God. 

11 And such were some of you; 
but / ye are washed, but ye are 
sanctified, but ye are justified in 
the name of the Lord Jesus, and 
by the Spirit of our God. 

12 All 9 things are lawful unto 
me, but all things are not 1 expe- 
dient: all things are lawful for me, 
but I will not be brought under 
the power of any. 

13 Meats for the belly, and the 
belly for meats: but God shall 
destroy both it and them. Now 
the body is not for fornication, but 
for h the Lord, and ' the Lord for 
the body. 

14 And 5 God hath both raised up 
the Lord, and will also raise up us 
by k his own power. 

15 Know ye not that your bodies 
are the members of Christ? shall I 
then take the members of Christ, 
and make them the members of an 
harlot? God forbid. 

16 What! know ye not that he 
which is joined to an harlot is one 
body? l for two, saith he, shall be 
one flesh. 

17 But m he that is joined unto 
the Lord is one spirit. 

18 Flee fornication. Every sin 
that a man doeth is without the 
body: but he that committeth for- 
nication sinneth n against his own 
body. 

19 What! ° know ye not that your 
body is the temple of the Holy 
Ghost which is in you, which ye have 
of God, and p ye are not your own? 

20 For q ye are bought with a 
price: therefore r glorify God in 
your body, and in your spirit, 
which are God's. 

CHAPTER VH. 

1 The use of marriage: 10 Christ hath for- 
bidden to dissolve the bond thereof, etc. 
NOW concerning the things 
whereof ye wrote unto me: 
It is good for a man not to touch a 
woman. 

3Y 



Advice concerning marriage 1 CORINTHIANS, VII. 



in time of persecution. 



2 Nevertheless, a to avoid forni- 
cation, let every man have his own 
wife, and let every woman have 
her own husband. 

3 Let Hhe husband render unto 
the wife due benevolence: and like- 
wise also the wife unto the husband. 

4 The wife hath not power of her 
own body, but the husband: and 
likewise also the husband hath not 
power of his own body, L but the 
wife. 

5 Defraud ye not one the other, 
except it be with consent for a 
time, that ye may give yourselves 
to fasting and prayer; and come 
together again, that c Satan tempt 
you not for your incontinency. 

6 But I speak this by permission, 
and d not of commandment. 

7 For e I would that all men were 
even as f I myself But 9 every 
man hath his proper gift of God, 
one after this manner, and another 
after that. 

8 I say therefore to the unmar- 
ried and widows, 7 * it is good for 
them if they abide even as I. 

9 But i if they cannot contain, let 
them marry: for it is better to 
marry than to burn. 

10 And unto the married I com- 
mand, yet not I, but the Lord,^" Let 
not the wife depart from her hus- 
band: 

11 But and if she depart, let her 
remain unmarried, or be recon- 
ciled to Tier husband : and let not 
the husband put away his wife. 

12 But to the rest speak I, not the 
Lord : If any brother hath a wife 
that believeth not, and she be 
pleased to dwell with him, let him 
not put her away. 

13 And the woman which hath 
an husband that believeth not, and 
if,he be pleased to dwell with her, 
let her not leave him. 

_ 14 For the unbelieving husband 
is sanctified by the wife, and the 
unbelieving wife is sanctified by 
the husband: else ;* were your 
children unclean; but now are 
they holy. 

15 But if the unbelieving depart, 
let him depart. A brother or a 
sister is not under bondage in such 
cases: but God hath called us 1 to 
peace. 

16 For what knowest thou, 
wife, whether thou shalt save l thy 
husband? Or 2 how knowest thou, 
man, whether thou shalt save 
thy wife? 

17 But as God hath distributed

19 Circumcision ° is nothing, and

vant? care not for it: but if thou 
mayest be * made free, use ft rather. 

22 For he that is called in the

that is called, being free, is ' Christ's

one w that hath obtained mercy of 
the Lord x to be faithful. 

26 I suppose therefore that this is 
good for the present 4 distress; 1 
say, that ft is good for a man so to 
be. 

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? 
seek not to be loosed. Art thou 
loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 

28 But and if thou marry, thou 
hast not sinned; and if a virgin 
marry, she hath not sinned. Never- 
theless such shall have trouble in 
the flesh: but I spare you. 

29 But y this I say, brethren, the 
time is short: it remaineth, that 
both they that have wives be as 
though they had none ; 

30 And they that weep, as though 
they wept not; and they that re- 
joice, as though they rejoiced not; 
and they that buy, as though they 
possessed not; 

31 And they that use this world, 
as z not abusing it: for a the fashion 
of this world passeth away. 

32 But I would have you without 
carefulness. h He that is unmarried 
careth for the things 6 that belong 
to the Lord, how he may please 
the Lord: 

33 But he that is married careth 
for the things that are of the world, 
how he may please his wife. 



Charity preferable to knowledge. 1 CORINTHIANS, VEX Paul asserts his apostleship. 



34 There is difference also between 
a wife and a virgin. c The un- 
married woman careth for the 
things of the Lord, that she may 
he holy both in body and in spirit: 
but she that is married careth for 
the things of the world, how she 
may please her husband. 

35 And this I speak for your own 
profit; not that I may cast a snare 
upon you, but for that which is 
comely, and that ye may attend 
upon the Lord without distrac- 
tion. 

36 But if any man think that he 
behaveth himself uncomely toward 
his virgin, if she pass the flower of 
her age, and need so require, let hi in 
do what he will, he sinneth not: 
let them marry. 

37 Nevertheless he that standeth 
stedfast in his heart, having no 
necessity, but hath power over his 
own will, and hath so decreed in 
his heart that he will keep his ■vir- 
gin, doeth well. 

38 So d then he that giveth her in 
marriage doeth well; but he that 
giveth her not in marriage doeth 
better. 

39 The 6 wife is bound by the law 
as long as her husband liveth; but 
if her husband be dead, she is at 
liberty to be married to whom she 
will; / only in the Lord. 

40 But she is happier if she so 
abide, after my judgment: and I 
think also that I have the Spirit of 
God. 

CHAPTER YHI. 

1 Charity preferable to knowledge. 4 An 
idol is nothing to those who rightly know 
God. 

NOW a as touching things offered 
unto idols, we know that we 
i all have 6 knowledge. Knowledge 
j puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 
| 2 And c if any man think that he 
{ kncweth any thing, he knoweth 
> nothing yet as he ought to know. 
j I 3 But if any man love God, d the 

same is known of him. 
i 4 As concerning therefore the 
eating of those things that are 
offered in sacrifice unto idols, we 
know that 6 an idol is nothing in 
the world, / and that there is none 
other God but one. 

5 For though there be that 9 are 
called gods, whether in heaven or 
in earth, (as there be gods many, 
and lords many,) 

6 But h to us there is hut one Gcd, 
the Father, * of whom are all 
things, and we l in him; and-?' one I

Lord Jesus Christ, k by whom are 
all things, and we by him. 

7 Howbeit there is not in every 
man that knowledge: for some 
with conscience of the idol unto 
this hour eat it as a thing offered 
unto an idol; and their conscience 
being weak is defiled. 

8 But meat commendeth us not 
to God: for neither, if we eat, 2 are 
we the better; neither, if we eat 
not, 3 are we the worse. 

9 But take heed, lest by any 
means this * liberty of yours be- 
come a stumblingblock to them 
thatare weak. 

10 For if any man see thee which 
hast knowledge sit at meat in the 
idol's temple, shall not the con- 
science of him which is weak be 
5 emboldened to eat those things 
which are offered to idols; 

11 And through thy knowledge 
shall the weak brother perish, for 
whom Christ died? 

12 But l when ye sin so against 
the brethren, and wound their 
weak conscience, ye sin against 
Christ. S 

13 Wherefore, if meat make my 
brother to offend, I will eat no 
flesh while the world standeth, 
lest I make my brother to offend. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 Paid asserteth his apostolical character, 

3 and right to a maintenance. 24 Life 

compared to a race. 26 He striveth to 

obtain an incorruptible crown. 

AM a I not an apostle ? am I not 
free? have 6 I not seen Jesus 
Christ our Lord? are not ye my 
work in the Lord? 

2 If I be not an apostle unto 
others, yet doubtless I am to you: 
for c the seal of mine apostleship 
are ye in the Lord. 

3 Mine answer to them that do 
examine me is this; 

4 Have d we not power to eat and 
to drink? 

5 Have we not power to lead 
about a sister, a 1 wife, as weD as 
other apostles, and as 6 the breth- 
ren of the Lord, and/ Cephas? 

6 Or I only and Barnabas, 9 have 
not we power to forbear working? 

7 Who h goeth a warfare any time 
at his own charges? who * planteth 
a vineyard, and eateth not of the 
fruit thereof? or who feedeth-?'a 
flock, and eateth not of the rm'lk 
of the flock? 

8 Say I these things as a man? or 
saith not the law the same also? 

9 For it is written in the law of 



Maintenance of ministers. 



1 CORINTHIANS, X. 



Example of the fathers 



Moses, Thou * shalt not muzzle 
the mouth of the ox that treadeth 
out the corn. Doth God take care 
for oxen? 

10 Or saith he it altogether for our 
sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, 
this is written: that l he that 
plougheth should plough in hope; 
and that he that thrasheth in hope 
should he partaker of his hope. 

11 If m we have sown unto you 
spiritual things, is it a great thing 
if we shall reap your carnal things? 

12 If others he partakers of this 
power over you, are not we rather? 
Nevertheless n we have not used 
this power; hut suffer all things, 
lest we should hinder the gospel of 
Christ. 

13 Do" ye not know that they 
which minister about holy things 
2 live of the things of the temple? 
and they which wait at the altar 
are partakers with the altar? 

14 Even p so hath the Lord or- 
dained that they q which preach 
the Gospel should live of the 
Gospel. 

15 But I have used none of these 
things: neither have I written 
these things, that it should be so 
done unto me: for it were better 
for me to die, than that any man 
should make my glorying void. 

16 For though I preach the Gospel, 
I have nothing to glory of: for 
necessity is laid upon me ; yea, woe 
is unto me, if I preach not the 
Gospel! 

17 For if I do this thing willingly, 
I have a reward; but if against my 
will, a r dispensation of the Gospel 
is committed unto me. 

18 What is my reward then'? 
Verily that, when I preach the 
Gospel, I may make the gospel of 
Christ without charge, that I abuse 
not my power in the Gospel. 

19 For though I be free from all 
men, yet have s I made myself ser- 
vant unto all, * that I might gain 
the more. 

20 And M unto the Jews I became 
as a Jew, that I might gain the 
Jews; to them that are under the 
law, as under the law, that I might 
gain them that are under the law; 

21 To v them that are without 
law, as without law, ( w being not 
without law to God, but under the 
law to Christ,) that I might gain 
them that are without law. 

22 To * the weak became I as 
weak, that I might gain the weak: 
I am made all things to all men,

that I might by all means save

23 And this I do for the Gospel's 
sake, that I might be partaker 
thereof with you. 

24: Know ye not that they which 
run in a race run all, but one re- 
ceiveth the prize? So y run, that 
ye may obtain. 

25 And every man that z striveth 
for the mastery is temperate in all 
things. Now they do it to obtain a 
corruptible crown, but we an a in- 
corruptible. 

26 I therefore so run, not as 5 un- 
certainly; so fight I, not as one 
that beateth the air: 

21 But I keep under my body, and 
bring it into subjection; lest that 
by any means, when I have 
preached to others, I myself should 
be c a cast-away. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 The Jeics had sacraments typical of ours. 
6 Christians must not lust after evil 
things: 7 they must avoid idolatry. 13 
God will in aj/liction make a way for 
them to escape, etc. 

MOREOVER, brethren, I would 
not that ye should be igno- 
rant, how that all our fathers were 
under the ° cloud, and all passed 
through the ° sea; 

2 And were all baptized unto 
Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 

3 And did all eat the same c spi- 
ritual meat; 

4 And did all drink the same 
spiritual d drink: for they drank of 
that spiritual Rock that x followed 
them; and that Rock was Christ. 

5 But with many of them God 
was not well pleased: for they were 
overthrown in the wilderness. 

6 Now these things were 2 our 
examples, to the intent we should 
not lust after evil things, as they 
also lusted. 

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were 
some of them; as it is written, e The 
people sat down to eat and drink, 
and rose up to play. 

8 Neither let us commit fornica- 
tion, as some of them committed, 
and / fell in one day three and 
twenty thousand. 

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as 
some 9 of them also tempted, and 
were destroyed of serpents. 

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of 
them also murmured, and were 
destroyed of the destroyer. 

11 Now all these things happened 
unto them for 3 ensamples: and 
they h are written for ouv admoni- 



Of meats offered to idoU.

tion, * upon whom the ends of the 
world axe come. 

12 Wherefore let him that think- 
eth he standeth take heed lest he 
fall. 

13 There hath no temptation 
taken you but i such as is common 
to man: but God is faithful, i who 
will not suffer you to be tempted 
above that ye are able; but will 
with the temptation also k make a 
way to escape, that ye may be able 
to bear it. 

14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, 
flee from idolatry. 

15 1 speak as to wise men; judge 
ye what I say. 

16 The l cup of blessing which we 
bless, is it not the communion 
of the blood of Christ? m The 
bread which we break, is it not 
the communion of the body of 
Christ! 

17 For n we leing many are one 
bread, anyone body: for we are all 
partakers of that one bread. 

18 Behold ° Israel after the flesh: 
are p not they which eat of the 
sacrifices partakers of the altar? 

19 What say I then? that the idol 
is any thing, or that which is 
offered in sacrifice to idols is any 
thing? 

20 But I say, that the things 
which the Gentiles 9 sacrifice, they 
sacrifice to devils, and not to God : 
and I would not that ye should 
have fellowship with devils. 

21 Ye r cannot drink the cup of 
the Lord, and * the cup of devils : 
ye cannot be partakers of the 
Lord's table, and of the table of 
devils. 

22 Do we provoke the Lord to 
jealousy? are * we stronger than 
he? 

23 All things are lawful for me, 
but all things are not expedient: 
all things are lawful for me, but 
all things edify not. 

24 Let u no man seek his own, 
but every man another's wealth. 

25 Whatsoever * is sold in the 
shambles, that eat, asking no ques- 
tion for conscience' sake: 

26 For the earth is the Lord's, 
and the fulness thereof 

27 If any of them that believe not 
bid you to a feast, and ye be dis- 
posed to go, w whatsoever is set 
before you eat, asking no question 
for conscience' sake. 

28 But if any man say unto you, 
This is offered in sacrifice unto 
idols, eat not x for his sake that

own, but of the other: for s why is 
my liberty judged of another man's

taker, why am I evil spoken of for 
that for which I give thanks? 

31 Whether a therefore ye eat, or 
drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all 
to the glory of God. 

32 Give none offence, neither to 
the Jews, nor to the 6 Gentiles, nor 
to the church of God: 

33 Even as I please all men in all 
things, not seeking mine own profit, 
but the profit of many, that they 
may be saved. 

CHAPTEK XL 
1 He exhorteth them, 3 and forbiddtth men 
to pray or prophesy with their heads 
covered, and tvomen with their heads 
uncovered. 23 Of the Lord's supper. 

BE ° ye followers of me, even as 
I also am of Christ. 

2 Now I praise you, brethren, 
that ye remember me in all things, 
and 6 keep the x ordinances, as I 
delivered them to you. 

3 But I would have you know, 
that c the head of every man is 
Christ; and the d head of the 
woman is the man; and 6 the head 
of Christ is God. 

4 Every man praying or prophesy- 
ing, having his head covered, dis- 
honoureth his head. 

5 But ^every woman that pray- 
eth or prophesieth with her head 
uncovered, dishonoureth her head: 
for that is even all one as if she 
were a shaven. 

6 For if the woman be not 
covered, let her also be shorn: but 
if it be * a shame for a woman to 
be shorn or shaven, let her be 
covered. 

7 For a man indeed ought not to 
cover his head, forasmuch as * he is 
the image and glory of God: but 
the woman is the* glory of the 
man. 

8 For •Hhe man is not of the 
woman; but the woman of the 
man. 

9 Neither was the man created 
for the woman; but the woman 
for the man. 

10 For this cause ought the wo- 
man *to have 2 power on her 
head l because of the angels. 

11 Nevertheless m neither is the 
man without the woman, neither

Of 'spiritual gifts 



the woman without the man, in 
the Lord. 

12 For as the woman is of the 
man, even so is the man also by 
the woman; hut "all things of 
God. 

13 Judge in yourselves: is it 
comely that a woman pray unto 
God uncovered? 

14 Doth not even nature itself 
teach you, that, if a man have 
long hair, it is a shame unto 
him? 

15 But if a woman have long 
hair, it is a glory to her: for her 
hair is given her for a 3 covering. 

16 But ° if any man seem to he 
contentious, we have no such 
custom, neither the churches of 
God. 

17 Now in this that I declare- 
unto you I praise you not, that ye 
come together not for the better, 
hut for the worse. 

18 For first of all, when ye come 
together in the church, * I hear 
that there be 4 divisions among 
you; and I partly believe it. 

19 For* there must be also 5 here- 
sies among you, r that they which 
are approved may be made mani- 
fest among you. 

20 When ye come together there- 
fore into one place, 6 this is not to 
eat the Lord's supper. 

21 For in eating every one tak- 
eth before other his own supper: 
and one is hungry, and 8 another 
is drunken. 

22 What! have ye not houses to 
eat and to drink in? or f despise 
ye the church of God, and shame 
7 them that have not? What shall 
I say to you? shall I praise you in 
this? I praise you not. 

23 For M I have received of the 
Lord that which also I delivered 
unto you, That the Lord Jesus the 
same night in which he was be- 
trayed took bread: 

24 And when he had given 
thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, 
eat: this is my body, which is 
broken for you: this do 8 in re- 
membrance of me. 

25 After the same manner also 
he took the cup, when he had 
supped, saving, This cup is "the 
new testament in my blood: this 
do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in re- 
membrance of me. 

26 For as often as ye eat this 
bread, and drink this cup, 9 ye do 
show the Lord's death w till he 
come.

the Lord. 

28 But y let a man examine him- 
self, and so let him eat of that 
bread, and drink of that cup. 

29 For he that eateth and 
drinketh unworthily, eateth and 
drinketh 10 damnation to himself, 
not discerning the Lord's body. 

30 For this cause many are weak 
and sickly amongyou, and many 
sleep. 

31 For z if we would judge our- 
selves, we should not be judged. 

32 But when we are judged, a we 
are chastened of the Lord, that we 
should not be condemned with 
the world. 

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when 
ye come together to eat, tarry one 
for another. 

34 And if any man hunger, let 
him eat at home; that ye come 
not together unto u condemna- 
tion. And the rest b will I set in 
order when c I come. 

CHAPTER XLL 

Spiritual gifts are diverse, yet all to pro- 
fit withal, and to that end are diversely 
bestowed of God for the general good. 

NOW "concerning sphitual^s, 
brethren, I would not have 
you ignorant. 

2 Ye know 6 that ye were Gen- 
tiles, carried away unto these 
dumb idols, even as ye were 
led. 

3 Wherefore I give you to under- 
stand, that c no man speaking by 
the Spirit of God calleth Jesus 
1 accm*sed; &iid d that no man can 
say that Jesus is the Lord, but by 
the Holy Ghost. 

4 Now e there are diversities of 
gifts, but the /same Spirit. 

5 And there are differences of 
2 administrations, but the same 
Lord. 

6 And there are diversities of 
operations, but it is the same God 
which g worketh all in all. 

7 But A the manifestation of the 
Spirit is given to every man to 
profit withaL 

8 For to one is given by the 
Spirit the word *of wisdom; to 
another ^'the word of knowledge 
by the same Spirit; 

9 To * another faith by the same 
Spirit; to another Hhe gifts of 
healing by the same Spirit; 

10 To m another the working of

miracles; to another n prophecy 
to ° another discerning of spirits 
to another ^Vers kinds of tongues: 
to another the interpretation of 
tongues: 

11 But all these worketh that 
one and the self-same Spirit, q di- 
viding to every man severally r as 
he will 

12 For as the body is one, and 
hath many members, and all the 
members of that one body, being 
many, are one body; s so also is 
Christ. 

13 For { by one Spirit are we all 
baptized into one body, w whether 
we be Jews or 3 Gentiles, whether 
we be bond or free; and "have been 
all made to drink into one 
Spirit. 

14 For the body is not one mem- 
ber, but many. 

15 If the foot shall say, Because I 
am not the hand, I am not of the 
body; is it therefore not of the 
body? 

16 And if the ear shall say, Be- 
cause I am hot the eye, I am not 
of the body; is it therefore not of 
the body? 

17 If the whole body were an eye, 
where were the hearing? if the 
whole were hearing, where were the 
smelling? 

18 But now hath God set the 
members every one of them in the 
body, as it hath pleased him. 

19 And if they were all one mem- 
ber, where were the body? 

20 But now are they many mem- 
bers, yet but one body. 

21 And the eye cannot say unto 
the hand, I have no need of thee; 
nor again the head to the feet, I 
have no need of you. 

22 Nay, much more those mem- 
bers of the body, which seem to be 
more feeble, are necessary: 

23 And those members of the 
body, which we think to be less 
honourable, upon these we *bestow 
more abundant honour; and our 
uncomely parts have more abun- 
dant comeliness. 

24 For our comely parts have no 
need: but God hath tempered the 
body together, having given more 
abundant honour to that pari 
which lacked: 

25 > That there should be no 
6 schism in the body; but that the 
members should have the same 
care one for another. 

26 And whether one member 
suffer, all the members suffer with

Christ, and members in particular.

29 Are all apostles? are all pro- 
phets? are all teachers? are all 

7 workers of miracles? 

30 Have all the gifts of healing? 
do all speak with tongues? do all 
interpret? 

31 But c covet earnestly the best 
gifts: and yet show I unto you a 
more excellent way. 

CHAPTEK Xni. 

I All gifts, however excellent, are nothing 
without charity: 4 the praises thereof. ' 

THOUGH I speak with the 
tongues of men and of angels, 
and have not ° charity, I am be- 
come as sounding brass, or a tink- 
ling cymbaL 

2 And though I have the gift b of 
prophecy, and understand all 
mysteries, and all knowledge; and 
though I have all faith, c so that 
I could remove mountains, and 
have not charity, I am nothing. 

3 And d though I bestow all my 
goods to feed the poor, and though 
I give my body to be burned, and 
have not charity, it profiteth me 
nothing. 

4 Charity e suffereth long, and is 
kind; charity envieth not; charity 
1 vaunteth not itself, is not puffed 
up, 

: 5 Doth not behave itself ? un- 
seemly, seeketh 9 not her own, is 
not easily provoked, thiuketh no 
evil: 

6 Rejoiceth A not in iniquity, *but 
rejoiceth 2 in the truth; 

7 Beareth J all things, believeth 
all things, hopeth all things, en- 
dureth all things. 

8 Charity never faileth: but 
whether there be prophecies, they 
shall fail; whether there be tongues, 
they shall cease; whether there 
be knowledge, it shall vanish 
away. 

9 For * we know in part, and we 
prophesy in part. 

10 But l when that which is per- 
fect is come, then that which is 
in part shall be done away. 

II When I was a child, I spake 
as a child, I understood as a child, 



Prophesying commended.

I 3 thought as a child; hut when I 
hecame a man, I put away childish 
things. 

12 For m now we see through a 
glass, 4 darkly; hut then n face to 
face: now I know in part; hut then 
shall I know even as also I am 
known. 

13 And now ahideth faith, hope, 
charity, these three; but °the 
greatest of these is charity.

ferred before speaking with tongues:

FOLLOW after "charity, *and 
desire spiritual gifts, e but 
rather that ye may prophesy. 

2 For he that d speaketh in an 
unknown tongue speaketh not unto 
men, but unto God: for no man 
1 understandeth him; howbeit in 
the spirit he speaketh e mysteries. 

3 But he that prophesieth /speak- 
eth unto men to edification, and 
exhortation, and comfort. 

4 He that speaketh in an un- 
known tongue ediiieth himself; but 
he that prophesieth edifieth the 
church. 

5 I would that ye all spake with 
tongues, but rather that ye pro- 
phesied: for greater is he that 
prophesieth than he that speaketh 
with tongues, except he interpret, 
that the church may receive edify- 
ing. 

6 Now, brethren, if I come unto 
you speaking with tongues, what 
shall I profit you, except I shall 
speak to you either by revelation, 
or by knowledge, or by prophesy- 
ing, or by doctrine? 

7 And even things without life 
giving sound, whether *pipe or 
harp, except they give a distinc- 
tion in the 2 sounds, how shall 
it be known what is piped or 
harped? 

8 For if the trumpet give an un- 
certain sound, who shall prepare 
himself to the battle? 

! 9 So likewise ye, except ye utter 
by the tongue words ^easy to be 
understood, how shall it be known 
what is spoken? for ye shall speak 
into A the air. 

10 There are, it may be, so many 
kinds of voices in the world, and 
none of them is without significa- 
tion.

unto him that speaketh a bar- 
barian, and he that speaketh shall 
be a barbarian unto me. 

12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye 
are zealous 4 of spiritual gifts, seek 
that ye may excel to the edifying 
of the church. 

13 Wherefore let him that speak- 
eth in an unknown tongue pray 
that » he may interpret. 

14 For if I pray in an unknown 
tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my 
understanding is unnniitful. 

15 What is it then? I will pray 
with the spirit, and I will pray 
with the understanding also; il 
will sing with the spirit, and I 
will sing * with the understanding 
also. 

16 Else, when thou shalt bless 
with the spirit, how shall he that 
occupieth the room of the un- 
learned say l Amen at thy giving 
of thanks, seeing he understandeth 
not what thou say est? 

17 For thou verily givest thanks 
well, but the other is not edified. 

18 I thank my God, I speak with 
tongues more than ye all: 

19 Yet in the church I had rather 
speak five words with my under- 
standing, that by my voice I might 
teach others also, than ten thou- 
sand words in an unknown tongue. 

20 Brethren, "'be not children in 
understanding: howbeit in malice 
be n ye children, but in under- 
standing be 6 men. 

21 In °the Law it is p written, 
With men of other tongues and 
other lips will I speak unto this 
people; and yet for all that will 
they not hear me, saith the 
Lord. 

22 Wherefore tongues are for a 
sign, not to them that believe, but 
to them that believe not: but 
prophesying serveth not for them 
that believe not, but for them 
which believe. 

23 If therefore the whole church 
be come together into one place, 
and all speak with tongues, and 
there come in those tliat are un- 
learned, or unbelievers, q will they 
not say that ye are mad? 

24 But if all prophesy, and there 
come in one that believeth not, or 
one unlearned, he is convinced of 
all, he is judged of all: 

25 And thus are the secrets of 
his heart made manifest: and so 
falling down on his face he will 
worship God, and report r that 
God is in you of a truth.

26 How is it then, brethren? 
when ye come together, every one 
of you hath a psalm, s hath a doc- 
trine, hath a tongue, hath a 
revelation, hath an interpretation. 
Let *all things be done unto edi- 
fying. 

27 If any man speak in an un- 
known tongue, let it be by two, or at 
the most by three, and that by 
course; and let one interpret. 

28 But if there be no interpreter, 
let him. keep silence in the church; 
and let him speak to himself, and 
to God. 

29 Let the prophets speak two or 
three, and let the other judge. 

30 If any thing be revealed to an- 
other that sitteth by, w let the first 
hold his peace. 

31 For "ye may all prophesy one 
by one, that all may learn, and 
all may be comforted. 

32 And "'the spirits of the pro- 
phets are subject to the prophets. 

33 For God is not the author of 
6 confusion, but of peace, z as in all 
churches of the saints. 

_ 34 Let y your women keep silence 
in the churches: for it is not per- 
mitted unto them to speak; but 
they are "commanded to be under 
obedience, as also saith the a Law. 

35 And if they will learn any 
thing, let them ask their husbands 
at home: for it is a shame for 
women to speak in the church. 

36 What! came the word of 
God J out from you? or came it 
unto you only? 

37 If c any man think himself 
to v be a prophet, or spiritual, let 
him acknowledge that the things 
that I write unto you are the com- 
mandments of the Lord. 

38 But if any man be ignorant, 
let him be ignorant. 

39 Wherefore, brethren, d covet 
to prophesy, and forbid not to 
speak with tongues. 

40 Let all things be done decently 
and in order.

preached unto you, unless c ye have 
believed in vain. 

3 For I delivered unto you first 
of all that which I also received, 
how that Christ died for our sins 
according d to the Scriptures; 

4 And that he was buried, and 
that he rose again the third day 
according 6 to the Scriptures: 

5 And ^that he was seen of 
Cephas, then of 9 the twelve: 

6 After that, he was seen , of 
above five hundred brethren at 
once; of whom the greater part 
remain unto this present, but some 
are fallen asleep. 

7 After that, he was seen of 
James; then of A all the apostles. 

8 And * last of all he was seen of 
me also, as of 3 one born out of 
due time. 

9 For I am the least of the 
apostles, that am not meet to be 
called an apostle, because i I perse- 
cuted the church of God. 

10 But k by the grace of God I am 
what I am: and ms grace which was 
bestowed upon me was not in vain; 
but { I laboured more abundantly 
than they all: m yet not I, but 
the grace of God which was with 
me. 

11 Therefore whether it were I or 
they, so we preach, and so ye be- 
lieved. 

12 Now if Christ be preached 
that he rose from the dead, how 
say some among you that n there 
is no resurrection of the dead? 

13 But if there be no resurrection 
of the dead, ° then is Christ not 
risen: 

14 And if Christ be not risen, then 
is our preaching vain, and your 
faith is also vain. 

15 Yea, and we are found false 
witnesses of God; because we have 
testified of God that he raised 
up Christ: whom he raised not 
up, if so be that the dead rise 
not 

16 For if the dead rise not, then 
is not Christ raised: 

17 And if Christ be not raised, 
your faith is vain; p ye are yet in 
your sins. 

18 Then they also which are 
fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 

19 If 2 in this life only we have 
hope in Christ, we are of all men 
most miserable. 

20 But now r is Christ risen from 
the dead, and become s the first- 
fruits of them that slept. 

21 For { since by man came death, 



Certainty and manner 



1 COKINTHIANS, XV. of the saints 7 resurrection. 



by M man came also the resurrec- 
tion of the dead. 

22 For as in Adam all die, even so 
in Christ shall all be made alive. 

23 But "every man in his own 
order: Christ the fkst-fruits; after- 
ward they that are Christ's at his 
coming. 

24 Then comeih the end, when he 
shall have delivered up w the king- 
dom to God, even the Father; 
when he shall have put down all 
rule and all authority and power. 

25 For he must reign, ^ till he 
hath put all enemies under his feet. 

26 The y last enemy that shall be 
destroyed is death. 

27 For he *hath put all things 
under his feet. But when he 
saith, All things are put under him 
it is manifest that he is excepted 
which did put all things under 
him. 

28 And °when all things shall 
be subdued unto him, then 6 shall 
the Son also himself be subject 
unto him that put all things 
imder him, that God may be all in 
all. 

29 Else what shall they do which 
are baptized for the dead, if the 
dead rise not at all? why are they 
then baptized for the dead? 

' 30 And c why stand we in jeop- 
ardy every hour? > 

31 I protest by' * your rejoicing 
which I have in Christ Jesus our 
Lord, d I die daily. 

32 If 5 after the manner of men 
I 6 have fought with beasts at 
Ephesus, what advantageth it me, 
if the dead rise not? J let us eat 
and drink; for to-morrow we die. 

33 Be not deceived: evil com- 
munications corrupt good man- 
ners. . 

34 Awake 9 to righteousness, and 
sin not; for A some have not the 
knowledge of God: I speak this to 
your shame. 

35 But some man will say, * How 
are the dead raised up? and with 
what body do they come? 

36 Thou fool, i that which thou 
sowest is not quickened, except it 
die. 

37 And that which thou sowest, 
thou sowest not that body that 
shall be, but bare grain, it may 
chance oflwheat, or of some other 
grain: 

38 But * God giveth it a body as 
it hath pleased him, and to every 
seed his own body.

flesh: but there is one land of flesh 
of men, another flesh of beasts, 
another of fishes, and another oi 
birds. 

40 There are also celestial bodies, 
and bodies terrestrial: but the 
glory of the celestial is one, and 
the glory of the terrestrial is 
another. 

41 There is one glory of the sun, 
and another glory of the moon, 
and another glory of the stars: for 
one star differeth horn another star 
in glory. 

42 So l also is the resurrection of 
the dead. It is sown in corrup- 
tion; it is raised in incorruption: 

43 It m is sown in dishonour; it is 
raised in glory: it is sown in weak- 
ness; it is raised in power: 

44 It is sown a natural body; it 
is raised a spiritual body. There 
is a natural body, and there is a 
spiritual body. 

45 And so it is written, The first 
man Adam n was made a living 
soul; the ° last Adam was made p a 
quickening spirit. 

46 Howbeit that was not first 
which is spiritual, but that which 
is natural; and afterward that 
which is spiritual. 

47 The q first man is of the r earth, 
earthy; the second man is the Lord 
from a heaven. 

48 As is the earthy, such are they 
also that are earthy; 'and as is the 
heavenly, such are they also that 
are heavenly. 

49 And M as we have borne the 
image of the earthy, "we shall also 
bear the image of the heavenly. 

50 Now this I say, brethren, 
that w flesh and blood cannot in- 
herit the kingdom of God; neither 
doth corruption inherit incorrup- 
tion. 

51 Behold, I show you a mystery; 
We x shall not all sleep, y but we 
shall all be changed, 

52 In a moment, in the twink- 
ling of an eye, at the last trump: 
for * the trumpet shall sound, 
and the dead shall be raised in- 
corruptible, and we shall be 
changed. 

53 For this corruptible must put 
on incorruption, and a this mortal 
must put on immortality. 

54 So when this corruptible shall 
have put on incorruption,, and this 
mortal shall have put on immor- 
tality, then shall be brought to 
pass the saying that is written, 
Death h is swallowed up in victory.

order to the churches of Galatia, 
even so do ye. 

2 Upon Hhe first day of the 
week let every one of you lay by 
him in store, as God hath pros- 
pered him, that there be no 
gatherings when I come. 

3 And when I come, c whomso- 
ever ye shall approve by your 
letters, them will I send to bring 
your l liberality unto Jerusalem. 

4 And if it be meet that I go also, 
they shall go with me. 

5 Now I will come unto you, when 
I d shall pass through Macedonia: 
for I do pass through Macedonia. 

6 And it may be that I will abide, 
yea, and winter with you, that ye 
may "bring me on my journey 
whithersoever I go. 

7 For I will not see you now 
by the way; but I trust to tarry a 
while with you, if the Lord per- 
mit. 

8 But I will tarry at Ephesus 
until Pentecost. 

, 9 For /a great door and effectual 
is opened unto me, and g there are 
many adversaries. 
10 Now if Timotheus come, see 
that he may be with you without 
fear: for h he worketh the work of 
the Lord, as I also do.

in peace, that he may come unto 
me: for I look for him with the 
brethren. 

12 As touching our i brother

come unto you with the brethren: 
but his will was not at all to come 
at this time; but he will come when 
he shall have convenient time.

know the house of Stephanas, that 
it is the first-fruits of Achaia, 
and that they have addicted 
themselves to the ministry of the 
saints,) 

16 That ye submit yours elves unto 
such, and to every one that help- 
eth with us, and laboureth. 

17 I am glad of the coming of 
Stephanas and Fortunatus and 
Achaicus: for *that which was 
lacking on your part they have 
supplied. 

18 For l they have refreshed my 
spirit and yours: therefore ac- 
knowledge ye them that are 
such. 

19 The m churches of Asia salute 
you. AquUa and Priscilla salute 
you much in the Lord, n with the 
church that is in their house. 

20 All the brethren greet you. 
Greet ye one another with an holy 
kiss.

Jesus Christ, °let him be Ana-

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus 
Christ be with you. 

24 My love be with you all in 
Christ Jesus. Amen.

Father of mercies, and the God of 
all comfort; 

4 Who c comforteth us in all our 
tribulation, that we may be able % to 
comfort them which are in any 
trouble by the comfort wherewith 
we ourselves are comforted of 
God. 

5 For as •''the sufferingsof Christ 
abound in us, so our consolation 
also aboundeth by Christ. 

6 And whether we be afflicted, 
it 9 is for your consolation and sal- 
vation, which Ms effectual in the 
enduring of the same sufferings 
which we also suffer: or whether 
we be comforted, it is for your con- 
solation and salvation. 

7 And our hope of you is stedfast, 
knowing, that h as ye are partakers 
of the sufferings, so shall ye be also 
of the consolation. 

8 For we would not, brethren, 
have you ignorant of * our trouble 
which came to us in Asia, that we 
were pressed out of measure, above 
strength, insomuch that we de- 
spaired even of life: 

9 But we had the 2 sentence of 
death in ourselves, that we should 
not-?" trust in ourselves, but in God 
which raiseth the dead: 

10 Who * delivered us from so 
great a death, and doth deliver: 
in whom we trust that he will yet 
deliver us; 

11 Ye also l helping together by 
prayer for us, that w for the gift 
bestowed upon us by the means of 
many persons thanks may be given 
by many on our behalf. 

12 For our rejoicing is this, the 
testimony of our conscience, that 
in simplicity n and godly sincerity, 
not ° with fleshly wisdom, but by 
the grace of God, we have had our 
conversation in the world, and 
more abundantly to you- ward. 

13 For we write none other things 
unto you than what ye read or 
acknowledge; and I trust ye shall 
acknowledge even to the end; 

14 As also ye have acknowledged 
us in part, p that we are your re- 
joicing, even as ye q also are ours 
in the day of the Lord Jesus. 

3 5 And in this confidence r I was 
minded to come unto you before, 
that ye might have s a second 
3 benefit; 

16 And to pass by you into Mace- 
donia, and 'to come again out of 
Macedonia unto you, and of you 
to be brought on my way toward 
Judea.

17 When I therefore was thus 
minded, did I use lightness? or the 
things that I purpose, do I pur- 
pose M according to the flesh, that 
with me there should be yea yea, 
and nay nay? 

18 But as God is true, our *word 
toward j^ou was not yea and nay. 

19 For "the Son of God, Jesus 
Christ, who was preached among 
you by us, even by me and w Sil- 
vanus and Timotheus, was not yea 
and nay, but in him was yea. 

20 For* all the promises of God 
in him are yea, and in him Amen, 
unto the glory of God by us. 

21 Now he which stablisheth us 
with you in Christ, and 'hath 
anointed us, is God; 

22 Who " hath also sealed us, and 
given ° the earnest of the Spirit in 
our hearts. 

23 Moreover I call God for a re- 
cord upon my soul, 6 that to spare 
you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 

24 Not for that we have dominion 
over your faith, but are helpers of 
your joy: for by c faith ye stand. 

CHAPTEB II. 

1 The reasons of Paul's not coming unto 
them. 6 Of the excommunicated person. 

BUT I determined this with my- 
self, that I "would not come 
again to you in heaviness. 

2 For if I make you sorry, who is 
he then that maketh me glad, but 
the same which is made sorry by 
me? 

3 And 1 wrote this same unto 
you, lest, when I came, I should 
have sorrow from them of whom I 
ought to rejoice; b having confi- 
dence in you all, that my joy is the 
joy of you all. 

4 For out of much affliction and 
anguish of heart I wrote unto you 
with many tears; not c that ye 
should be grieved, but that ye 
might know the love which I have 
more abundantly unto you. 

5 But d if any have caused grief, 
he hath not * grieved me, but in 
part; that I may not overcharge 
you all. 

6 Sufficient to such a man is this 
1 punishment, which was inflicted 
of /many. 

7 So 9 that contrariwise ye ought 
rather to forgive him, and comfort 
him, lest perhaps such a one should 
be swallowed up with overmuch 
sorrow. 

8 Wherefore I beseech you that 
ye would confirm your love toward 
him. 



Success of PauVs preaching. 2 CORINTHIANS, HI, IV. ■ Tlie Gospel ministration. 



9 For to this end also did I write, 
that I might know the proof of 
you, whether ye be obedient in all 
things. 

1 To whom ye forgive any thing, 
I forgive also: for if I forgave any 
thing, to whom I forgave it, for 
your sakes forgave lit 2 in the per- 
son of Christ; 

11 Lest h Satan should get an 
advantage of us: for we are not 
ignorant of his devices. 

12 Furthermore, *when I came 
to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, 
and a door was opened unto me 
of the Lord, 

13 I had no rest in my spirit, be- 
cause I found not Titus my brother: 
but taking my leave of them, I 
went from thence into Macedonia. 

14 Now thanks be unto God, 
which always causeth us to triumph 
in Christ, and maketh manifest the 
savour of his knowledge by us in 
every place. 

15 For we are unto God a sweet 
savour of Christ, in them that are 
saved, and in them that perish: 

16 To the one we are the savour 
of death unto death; and to the 
other the savour of life unto hie. 
And who is sufficient for these 
things? 

17 For we are not as many, which 
3 corrupt the word of God: but as 
of sincerity, but as of God, in the 
sight of God speak we 4 in Christ. 

CHAPTER HL 

He showeth that their gifts and graces 
were a sufficient commendation of his 
ministry. 

DO a we begin again to commend 
ourselves? or need we, as some 
others, epistles b of commendation 
to you, or letters of commendation 
from you? 

2 Ye c are our epistle written in 
our hearts, known and read of ah 
men: 

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly 
declared to be the epistle of Christ 
ministered by d us, written not 
with ink, but with the Spirit of the 
living God; not 6 in tables of stone, 
but /in fleshy tables of the heart. 

4 And such trust have we through 
Christ to God- ward: 

5 Not ' that we are sufficient of 
ourselves to think any thing as of 
ourselves: but our h sufficiency is of 
God; 

6 Who also hath made us able 
ministers of * the new testament; 
not 1 of the letter, but of the spirit:

spirit * giveth life. 

7 But if the ministration of death, 
written and engraven in stones, 
was glorious, so that the children 
of Israel could not stedfastly behold 
the face of Moses for the glory of 
his countenance; which glory was 
to be done away; 

8 How shall not m the ministra- 
tion of the spirit be rather glori- 
ous? 

9 For if the ministration of con- 
demnation be glory, much more 
doth the ministration of "right- 
eousness exceed in glory. 

10 For even that which was made 
glorious had no glory in this re- 
spect, by reason of the glory that 
excelleth. 

11 For if that which is done away 
was glorious, much more that which 
remaineth is glorious. 

12 Seeing then that we have such 
hope, we use great 2 plainness of 
speech: 

13 And not as Moses, ° which put 
a veil over his face, that the chil- 
dren of Israel could not stedfastly 
look to the p end of that which is 
abolished. 

14 But q their minds were blind- 
ed: for until this day remaineth 
the same veil untaken away in the 
reading of the Old Testament; 
which veil is done away in Christ. 

1 5 But even unto this day, when 
Moses is read, the veil is upon their 
heart. 

16 Nevertheless r when it shall 
turn to the Lord, s the veil shall be 
taken away. 

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 
and where the Spirit of the Lord 
is, there is liberty. 

18 But we all, with open face be- 
holding as 'in a glass the glory of 
the Lord, " are changed into the 
same image from glory to glory, 
even as 3 by the Spirit of the Lord. 

CHAPTER IY. 

1 Paul's unwearied diligence and zeal in 

preaching: 1 his troubles for the same. 

THEREFORE, -seeing we have 
this ministry, as we have re- 
ceived mercy, we faint not; 

2 But have renounced the hidden 
things of l dishonesty, not walking 
in craftiness, nor "handling the 
word of God deceitfully; but by 
manifestation of the truth com- 
mending ourselves to every man's 
conscience in the sight of God. 

3 But if our Gospel be hid, 6 it is 
hid to them that are lost: 



The apostle's afflictions. • 2 CCKINTHIANS, V. 



His hope of immortal glory. 



4 In whom c the god of this world 
hath d Minded the minds of them 
which helieve not, lest the light of 
the glorious gospel of Christ, e who 
is the image of God, should shine 
unto them. 

5 For we preach not ourselves, 
but Christ Jesus the Lord; /and 
ourselves your servants for Jesus' 
sake. 

6 For God, ^who commanded the 
light to shine out of darkness, 
2 hath shined A in our hearts, to 
give *the light of the knowledge of 
the glory of God in the face of 
Jesus Christ. 

7 But we have this treasure * in 
earthen vessels, Hhat the excel- 
lency of the power may be of God, 
and not of us. 

8 We are troubled on every side, 
yet not distressed; we are perplexed, 
but 3 not in despair; 

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; 
cast down, but not destroyed; 

10 Always l bearing about in 
the body the dying of the Lord 
Jesus, TO that the life also of Jesus 
might be made manifest in our 
body. 

11 For we which live are alway 
delivered unto death for Jesus' 
sake, that the life also of Jesus 
might be made manifest in our 
mortal flesh. 

12 So then death worketh in us, 
but life in you. 

13 We having the same spirit of 
faith, according as it is written, n I 
believed, and therefore have I 
spoken; we also believe, and there- 
fore speak; 

14 Knowing that he which raised 
up the Lord Jesus shall raise up 
us also by Jesus, and shall present 
us with you. 

15 For all things are for your 
sakes, that the abundant grace 
might through the thanksgiving 
of many redound to the glory of 
God. 

16 For which cause we faint not; 
but though our outward man 
perish, yet the inward man is re- 
newed day by day. 

17 For our fight affliction, which 
is but for a moment, worketh for 
us a far more exceeding and eter- 
nal weight of glory; 

18 While we look not at the 
things which are seen, but at the 
things which are not seen: for the 
things which are seen are temporal; 
but the things which are not seen 
are eternal.

CHAPTEK V. 

Paul, in assured hope'of immortal glory 
laooureth to approve himself to Christ. 

FOE we know that if "our 
earthly house of this tabernacle 
were dissolved, we have b a building 
of God, an house not made with 
hands, eternal in the heavens. 

2 For in this c we groan, earnestly 
desiring to be clothed upon with 
our house which is from heaven: 

3 If so be that d being clothed we 
shall not be found naked. 

4 For we that are in this taber- 
nacle do groan, being burdened: 
not for that we would be unclothed, 
but 'clothed upon, that mortality 
might be swallowed up of life. 

5 Now /he that hath wrought 
us for the self-same thing is God, 
who 9 also hath given unto us the 
earnest of the Spirit. 

6 Therefore we are always confi- 
dent, knowing that, whilst we are 
at home in the body, we are ab- 
sent from the Lord: 

7 (For ft we walk by faith, not by 
sight:) 

8 We are confident, I say, l " and 
willing rather to be absent from 
the body, and to be present with 
the Lord. 

9 Wherefore we 1 labour, that, 
whether present or absent, we may 
be accepted of him. 

10 For we must all appear before 
the judgment seat of Christ; i that 
every one may receive the things 
done in his body, according to that 
he hath done, whether it be good 
or bad. 

11 Knowing therefore the terror 
of the Lord, we persuade men: but 
we are made manifest unto God; 
and 1 trust also are made manifest 
in your consciences. 

12 For we commend not ourselves 
again unto you, but give you occa- 
sion to glory on our behalf, that ye 
may have somewhat to answer 
them which glory 2 in appearance, 
and not in heart. 

13 For k whether we be beside 
ourselves, it is to God; or whether 
we be sober, it is for your cause. 

14 For the love of Christ con- 
straineth us; because we thus 
judge, that if *one died for all, 
then were all dead: 

15 And that he died for all, m that 
they which live should not hence- 
forth live unto themselves, but 
unto him which died for them, 
and rose again. 

16 Wherefore n henceforth know 



Of the apostle's sufferings. 2 CORINTHIANS, VI, VH. 



To avoid idolatry. 



we no man after the flesh: yea, I 
though we have known Christ j 
after the flesh, yet °now hence- 
forth know we him no more. 

17 Therefore, if any man be in 
Christ, 3 he is a new creature: p old 
things are passed away; behold, all 
things are become new. 

18 And all things are of God, who 
hath reconciled us to himself by 
Jesus Christ, and hath given to us 
the ininistry of reconciliation; 

10* To wit, that 2 God was in 
Christ, reconciling the world unto 
himself, not imputing their tres- 
passes unto them; and hath 4 com- 
mitted unto us the word of recon- 
ciliation. 

20 Now then we are r ambassadors 
for Christ, as though God did be- 
seech you by us: we pray you in 
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to 
God. 

21 For s he hath made him to be 
sin for us, who * knew no sin; that 
we might be made u the righteous- 
ness of God in him. 

CHAPTER VL 

1 Paul's svfferings and patience in the 
ministry. 14 Exhortation to avoid idola-

WE then, as a workers together 
with him, beseech you also 
that 6 ye receive not the grace of 
God in vain. 

2 (For he saith, C I have heard 
thee in a time accepted, and in the 
day of salvation have I succoured 
thee: behold, now is the accepted 
time; behold, now is the day of 
salvation.) 

3 Giving d no offence in any thing, 
that the ministry be not blamed: 

4 But in all things 1 approving 
ourselves as e the ministers of God, 

j in much patience, in afflictions, in 
necessities, in distresses, 

5 In stripes, in imprisonments, 

2 in tumults, in labours, in watch- 
ings, in fastings; 

6 By pureness, by knowledge, by 
long-suffering, by kindness, by the 
Holy Ghost,. by love unfeigned, 

7 By the word of truth, by •''the 
power of God, by 9 the armour of 
righteousness on the right hand 
and on the left, 

8 By honour and dishonour, by 
evil report and good report: as 
deceivers, and yet true; 

9 As unknown, and h yet well 
known; *as dying, and, behold, 
we live; i as chastened, and not 
killed;

10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoic- 
ing; as poor, yet making many 
rich; as having nothing, and yet 
possessing all things. 

11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth 
is open unto you, our heart is en- 
larged. 

12 Ye are not straitened in us, 
but * ye are straitened in your own 
bowels. 

13 Now for a recompence in the 
same, (I speak as unto my chil- 
dren.) be ye also enlarged. 

14 Be l ye not unequally yoked 
together with unbelievers: m for 
what fellowship hath righteousness 
with unrighteousness? and what 
communion hath light with dark- 
ness? 

15 And what concord hath Christ 
with Belial? or what part hath he 
that believeth with an infidel? 

16 And what agreement hath the 
temple of God with idols? for n ye 
are the temple of the living God; 
as God hath said, ° I will dwell in 
them, and walk in them; and I will 
be their God, and they shall be my 
people. 

17 Wherefore p come out from 
among them, and be ye separate, 
saith the Lord, and touch not the 
unclean thing; and I will receive 
you, 

18 And q will be a Father unto 
you, and ye shall be my sons and 
daughters, saith the Lord Al- 
mighty. 

CHAPTER VTL 

1 He exliorteth to purity of life, 3 and 
showeth tlie source of his comfort in 
afflictions. 

HAVING a therefore these pro- 
mises, dearly beloved, let us 
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness 
of the flesh and spirit, perfecting 
holiness in the fear of God. 

2 Receive us; we have wronged 
no man, we have corrupted no 
man, we have defrauded no man. 

5 I speak not this to condemn 
you: for I have said before, that ye 
are in our hearts to die and live 
with you. 

4 Great is my boldness of speech 
toward you, great h is my glorying 
of you: c I am rilled with comfort, 
I am exceeding joyful in all our 
tribulation. 

5 For, d when we were come into 
Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, 
but we 6 were troubled on every 
side; without fwere fightings, with- 
in were fears. 

6 Nevertheless 9 God, that com-

forteth those that are cast down, 
comforted us by the coming ofTitus; 

7 And not by his coming only, 
but by the consolation wherewith 
he was comforted in you, when he 
told us your earnest desire, your 
mourning, your fervent mind to- 
ward me; so that I rejoiced the 
more. 

8 For though 1 made you sorry 
with a letter, I do not repent, 
though h I did repent: for I per- 
ceive that the same epistle hath 
made you sorry, though it were but 
for a season. 

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were 
made sorry, but that ye sorrowed 
to repentance: for ye were made 
sorry l after a godly manner, that 
ye might receive damage by us in 
nothing. 

10 For * godly sorrow worketh 
repentance to salvation not to be 
repented of:'' but the sorrow of the 
world worketh death. 

11 For behold this self-same 
thing, that ye h sorrowed after a 
godly sort, what carefulness it 
wrought in you, yea, what clearing 
of yourselves, yea, what indigna- 
tion, yea, what fear, yea, what vehe- 
ment desire, yea, what zeal, yea, 
what revenge! In all things ye have 
approved yourselves to be clear in 
this matter. 

12 Wherefore, though I wrote 
unto you, / did it not for his cause 
that had done the wrong, nor for 
his cause that suffered wrong, but 
that our care for you in the sight 
of God might appear unto you. 

13 Therefore we were comforted 
in your comfort: yea, and exceed- 
ingly the more joyed we for the 
joy ofTitus, because his spirit was 
refreshed l by you all. 

14 For if I have boasted any 
thing to him of you, I am not 
ashamed; but as we spake all 
things to you in truth, even so our 
boasting, which / made before 
Titus, is found a truth. 

15 And his 2 inward affection is 
more abundant toward you, whilst 
he remembereth OT the obedience 
of you all, how with fear and 
trembling ye received him. 

16 I rejoice therefore that n I have 
confidence in you in all things.

God bestowed on the churches of 
Macedonia; 

2 How that in a great trial of 
affliction the abundance of their 
joy °and their deep poverty 
abounded unto the riches of their 

2 liberality. 

3 For to their power, I bear record, 
yea, and beyond their power, they 
were willing of themselves; 

4 Praying us with much entreaty 
that we would receive the gift, and 
take upon us h the fellowship of 'the 
ministering to the saints. 

5 And this they did, not as we 
hoped, but first c gave their own 
selves to the Lord, and unto us by 
the will of God: 

6 Insomuch that d we desired 
Titus, that as he had begun, so he 
would also finish in you the same 

3 grace also: 

7 Therefore, as e ye abound in 
every thing, in faith, and utterance, 
and knowledge, and in all dili- 
gence, and in your love to us, 'see 
that ye abound in this grace also. 

8 I 9 speak not by command- 
ment, but by occasion of the for- 
wardness of others, and to prove 
the sincerity of your love. 

9 For ye know the grace of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, h that, though 
he was rich, yet for your sakes he 
became poor, that ye through his 
poverty might be rich. 

10 And herein *I give my advice: 
for this is i expedient for you, who 
have begun before, not only to do, 
but also to be 4 forward a year 
ago. 

11 Now therefore perform the 
doing of it; that as there was a 
readiness to will, so there may be a 
performance also out of that which 
ye have. 

12 For k if there be first a willing 
mind, it is accepted according to 
that a man hath, and not accord- 
ing to that he hath not. 

13 For I mean not that other men 
be eased, and ye burdened; 

14 But by an equality, that now 
at this time your abundance may 
be a supply for their want, that their 
abundance also may be a supply 
for your want: that there may be 
equality: 

15 As it is written, *He that had 
gathered much had nothing over: 
and he that had gathered little had 
no lack. 

16 But thanks be to God, which 
put the same earnest care into the 
heart of Titus for you. 



Paul commenMh Titus. 2 CORINTHIANS, IX, X. Exhortation to liberality. 



17 For indeed he accepted the 
exhortation; but*being more for- 
ward, of his own accord he went 
unto you. 

18 And we have sent with him 
the m brother, whose praise is in 
the Gospel throughout all the 
churches; 

19 And not that only, hut who 
was also chosen n of the churches 
to travel with us with this 6 grace, 
which is administered by us ° to 
the glory of the same Lord, and 
declaration o/your ready mind: 

20 Avoiding* this, that no man 
should blame us in this abundance 
which is administered by us: 

21 Providing q for honest things, 
not only in the sight of the Lord, 
but also in the sight of men. 

22 And we have sent with them 
our brother, whom we have often- 
times proved diligent in many 
things, but now much more dili- 
gent, upon the great confidence 
which 6 1 have in you. 

23 Whether any do enquire of 
Titus, he is my partner and fellow- 
helper concerning you; or our 
brethren be enquired of, they are r the 
messengers of the churches, and 
the glory of Christ. 

24 Wherefore show ye to them, 
and before the churches, the proof 
of your love, and of our boasting 
on your behalf. 

CHAPTEK IX. 

1 He showeth why lie sent the brethren, 6 
and stirreth them up to give bountifully, 
as a likely means to increase their 
store, 

FOR as touching °the minister- 
ing to the saints, it is super- 
fluous^for me to write to you: 

2 For I know Hhe forwardness 
of your mind, c for which I boast 
of you to them of Macedonia, d that 
Achaia was ready a year ago; and 
your zeal hath provoked very 
many. 

3 Yet ' have I sent the brethren, 
lest our boasting of you should be 
in vain in this behalf; that, as I 
said, ye may be ready: 

4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia 
come with me, and find you un- 
prepared, we (that we say not, ye) 
should be ashamed in this same 
confident boasting. 

5 Therefore I thought it neces- 
sary to exhort the brethren, that 
they would go before unto you, and 
make up beforehand your l bounty, 

2 whereof ye had notice before, 
that the same might be ready, as

this ministration they "glorify

CHAPTER X. 

He wisheth for no cause to exert his spirit-

NOW a I Paul myself beseech you 
by the meekness and gentle- 
ness of Christ, who 1 in presence 
am base among you, but being ab- 
sent am bold toward you: 

2 But I beseech you, b that I may 
not be bold when I am present 
with that confidence, wherewith 
I think to be bold against some, 
which 2 think of us as if we walked 
according to the flesh. 

3 For though we walk in the flesh, 
we do not war after the flesh: 

4 (For c the weapons of our war- 
fare are not carnal, but mighty 
3 through God d to the pulling 
down of strong holds;)

Of the apostle's spiritual power. 2 COBLNTHIANS, XI. Be commendeth his ministry. 



5 Casting 6 down i imaginations, 
and every high thing that exalt- 
eth itself against the knowledge 
of God, and bringing into cap- 
tivity every thought to the obedi- 
ence of Christ; 

6 And /having in a readiness to 
revenge all disobedience, when 
your 3 obedience is fulfilled. 

7 Do ye look on things after the 
outward appearance? ft If any man 
trust to himself that he is Christ's, 
let him of himself think this again , 
that, as he is Christ's, even so are 
we * Christ's. 

8 For though I should boast 
somewhat more of our authority, 
which the Lord hath given us 
for edification, and not for your 
destruction, I should not be 
ashamed: 

9 That I may not seem as if I 
would terrify you by letters. 

10 For his letters, 5 say they, are 
weighty and powerful; but i his 
bodily presence is weak, and his 
speech * contemptible. 

11 Let such an one think this, 
that, such as we are in word by 
letters when we are absent, such 
will we be also in deed when we are 
present. 

12 For l we dare not make our- 
selves of the number, or compare 
ourselves with some that commend 
themselves: but they measuring 
themselves by themselves, and 
comparing themselves among 
themselves, 6 are not wise. 

13 But we will not boast of tilings 
without our measure, but according 
to the measure of the 7 rule which 
God hath distributed to us, a meas- 
ure to reach even unto you. 

14 For we stretch not ourselves 
beyond our measure, as though we 
reached not unto you; m for we are 
come as far as to you also in preach- 
ing the gospel of Christ: 

15 Not boasting of things without 
our measure, that is, n of other 
men's labours; but having hope, 
when your faith is increased, that 
we shall be 8 enlarged by you ac- 
cording to our rule abundantly,

CHAPTEE XL 

1 Paul unwillingly entereth into a com. 
mendation of himself with the other 
apostles: 7 he declineth being chargeable: 
23 he showeth his sufferings for the 
Gospel. 

WOULD to God ye could bear 
with me a little in a my 
folly: and indeed x bear with me. 

2 For I am 6 jealous over you 
with godly jealousy: for °I have 
espoused you to one husband, 
that d I may present you e as a chaste 
virgin to Christ. 

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as 
the t serpent beguiled Eve through 
his subtilty, so your minds 9 should 
be corrupted from the simplicity 
that is in Christ. 

4 For if he that cometh preacheth 
another Jesus, whom, we have not 
preached, or tjye receive another 
spirit, which ye have not received, 
or another h gospel, which ye have 
not accepted, ye might well bear 

2 with him. 

5 For I suppose I was not a whit 
behind the very chiefest apostles. 

6 But though I be rude in speech, 
yet not in » knowledge: but we 
have been throughly made mani- 
fest among you in all things. 

7 Have I committed an offence in 
abasing $ myself that ye might be 
exalted, because I have preached 
to you the gospel of God freely? 

8 I robbed other churches, taking 
wages of them, to do you service. 

9 And when I was present with 
you, and wanted, * I was charge- 
able to no man: for that which was 
lacking to me l the brethren which 
came from Macedonia supplied* 
and in all things I have kept my- 
self m from being burdensome unto 
you, and so will I keep myself. 

10 As n the truth of Christ is in 
me, 3 no man shall stop me of this 
boasting in the regions of Achaia. 

11 Wherefore? ° because I love 
you not? God knoweth. 

12 But what I do, that I will do, 
that I p may cut off occasion from 
them which desire occasion; that 
wherein they glory they may be 
found even as we. 

13 For such are false apostles, de- 
ceitful workers, transforming them- 
selves into the apostles of Christ. 

14 And no marvel; for Satan 
himself is transformed into q an 
angel of fight. 

15 Therefore it is no great thing if 
his ministers also be transformed 
as the ministers of righteousness;

whose r end shall be according to 
then works. 

16 I say again, Let no man think 
me a fool: if otherwise, yet as a fool 
4 receive me, that I may boast 
myself a little. 

17 That which I speak, s 1 speak 
it not after the Lord, but as it were 
foolishly, * in this confidence of 



18 Seeing w that many glory after 
the flesh, I will glory also. 

19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing 
ye yourselves are wise. 

20 For ye suffer, ° if a man bring 
you into bondage, if a man devour 
you, if a man take of you, if a man 
exalt himself, if a man smite you 
on the face. 

21 1 speak as concerning reproach, 
as w though we had been weak. 
Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, 
(I speak foohshly,) I am bold also. 

22 Are they Hebrews? * so am I. 
Are they Israelites? so am I. Are 
they the seed of Abraham? so am I. 

23 Are they ministers of Christ ? 
(I speak as a fool,) y lam more: in 
labours more abundant, * in stripes 
above measure, in prisons more 
frequent, in deaths oft. 

24 Of the Jews five times received 
I forty stripes a save one, 

25 Thrice was I b beaten with 
rods, once was c I stoned, thrice d I 
suffered shipwreck, a night and a 
day I have been in the deep; 

26 In joumeyings often, in perils 
of waters, in perils of robbers, e in 
perils by mine own countrymen, f in 
perils by the heathen, in perils in 
the city, in perils in the wilder- 
ness, in perils in the sea, in perils 
among false brethren; 

27 In weariness and pamfulness, 
in watchings often, 9 in hunger 
and thirst, in fastings often, in 
cold and nakedness. 

28 Besides those things that are 
without, that which cometh upon 
me daily, h the care of all the 
churches. 

29 Who is weak, and I am not 
weak? who is offended, and I burn 
not? 

30 If I must needs glory, I will 
glory of the things which concern 
mine infirmities. 

31 The God and Father of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, * which is blessed for 
evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

33 And through a window in a 
basket was I let down by the wall, 
and escaped his hands. 

CHAPTER XH. 

1 He chooseth to commend Ms apostleship, 
not by revelations, 9 but by Ms infirmities, 
11 blaming them for forcing tMs boasting. 

IT is not expedient for me doubt- 
__ less to glory. 1 1 will come to 
visions and revelations of the Lord. 

2 I knew a man a in Christ above 
fourteen years ago, (whether in the 
body, I cannot tell; or whether out 
of the body, I cannot tell: God 
knoweth;) such an one b caught up 
to the third heaven. 

3 And I knew such a man, (whe- 
ther in the body, or out of the 
body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 

4 How that he was caught up 
into c paradise, and heard un- 
speakable words, which it is not 

2 lawful for a man to utter. 

5 Of such an one will I glory: d yet 
of myself I will not glory, but in 
mine infirmities. 

6 For 6 though I would desire to 
glory, I shall not be a fool; for I 
will say the truth: but now I for- 
bear, lest any man should think 
of me above that which he seeth 
me to be, or tMt he heareth of me. 

7 And lest I should be exalted 
above measure through the abun. 
dance of the revelations, there was 
given to me a / thorn in the flesh, 
the 9 messenger of Satan to buffet 
me, lest I should be exalted above 
measure. 

8 For A this thing I besought the 
Lord thrice, that it might depart 
from me. 

9 And he said unto me, l My grace 
is sufficient for thee; for my 
strength is made perfect in weak- 
ness. Most gladly therefore will I 
rather glory in my infirmities, that 
the i power of Christ may rest 
upon me. 

10 Therefore * I take pleasure in 
infirmities, in reproaches, in neces- 
sities, in persecutions, in distresses, 
for Christ's sake: for l when I am 
weak, then am I strong. 

11 lam become a fool in glorying; 
ye have compelled me: for I ought 
to have been commended of you; 
for m in nothing am I behind the 
very chiefest apostles, though I be 
nothing. 

12 Truly n the signs of an apostle 
were wrought among you in all 
patience, in signs, and wonders, 
and mighty deeds. 

13 For ° what is it wherein you 



The apostle purposes 



2 CORINTHIANS, XDX

were inferior to other churches, 
except it be that I p myself was not 
burdensome to you? forgive me 
this wrong. 

14 Behold, q the third time I am 
ready to come to you; and I will 
not be burdensome to you: for r I 
seek not yours, but you: * for the 
children ought not to lay up for the 
parents, but the parents for the 
children. 

15 And ' I will very gladly spend 
and be spent for 3 you; though ** the 
more abundantly < I love you, the 
less I be loved. 

16 But be it so, v I did not burden 
you: nevertheless, being crafty, I 
caught you with guile. 

17 Did w I make a gain of you by 
any of them whom I sent unto you? 

18 I x desired Titus, and with him 

1 sent a brother. Did Titus make 
a gain of you? walked we not in 
the same spirit ? walked we not in 
the same steps? 

19 Again, y think ye that we ex- 
cuse ourselves unto you? * we speak 
before God in Christ: a but we do 
all things, dearly beloved, for your 
edifying. 

20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I 
shall not find you such as I would, 
and thai 5 I shall be found unto you 
such as ye would not: lest there 
be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, 
backbitings, whisperings, swellings, 
tumults: 

21 And lest, when I come again, 
my God will c humble me among 
you, and that I shall bewail many 
which have sinned already, and 
have not repented of the un- 
cleanness, and d fornication, and 
lasciviousness, which they have 
committed.

you, as if I were present, the second 
time; and being absent now I 
write to them d which heretofore 
have sinned, and to all other, that, 
if I come again, I will not spare: 

3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ 
speaking in 6 me, which to you- 
ward is not weak, but is mighty 
in /you. 

4 For 9 though he was crucified 
through weakness, yet A he liveth 
by the power of God. For * we 
also are weak x in him, but we 
shall live with him by the power 
of God toward you. 

5 Examine i yourselves, Whether 
ye be in the faith; prove your own 
selves. Know ye not your own 
selves, k how that Jesus Christ is in 
you, except ye be l reprobates? 

6 But I trust that ye shall know 
that we are not reprobates. 

7 Now I pray to God that ye do 
no evil; not that we should appear 
approved, but that ye should do 
that which is honest, though '" we 
be as reprobates. 

8 For we can do nothing against 
the truth, but for the truth. 

9 For we are glad n when we are 
weak, and ye are strong: and this 
also we wish, even ° your perfection. 

10 Therefore I write these things 
being absent, lest being present v I 
should use sharpness, according to 
the power which the Lord hath 
given me to edification, and not to 
destruction. 

11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be 
perfect, be of good comfort, q be of 
one mind, live in peace; and the 
God of love r and peace shall be 
with you. 

12 Greet one another with an holy 
kiss. 

13 All the saints salute you. 

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus 
Christ, and the love of God, and 
the communion of the Holy Ghost, 
be with you all. Amen.

that he might deliver us /from this 
present evil world, according to the 
will of God and our Father: 

5 To whom be glory for ever and 
ever. Amen. 

6 I marvel that ye are so soon 
removed from him that called you 
into the grace of Christ unto 
another gospel: 

7 Which 9 is not another; but 
there be some ft that trouble you, 
and would pervert the gospel of 
Christ. 

8 But though f we, or an angel 
from heaven, preach any other 
gospel unto you than that which 
we have preached unto you, let 
him be accursed. 

9 As we said before, so say I now 
again, If any man preach any 
other gospel unto you-?' than that 
ye have received, let him be ac- 
cursed. 

10 For * do I now l persuade men, 
or God? or m do I seek to please 
men? for if I yet pleased men, I 
should not be the servant of Christ. 

11 But n I certify you, brethren, 
that the gospel which was preached 
of me is not after man. 

12 For I neither received it of 
man, neither was I taught it, but 
by ° the revelation of Jesus Christ. 

13 For ye have heard of my 
conversation in time past in the 
Jews' religion, how that F beyond 
measure I persecuted the church 
of God, and wasted 3 it: 

14 And profited in the Jews' 
religion above many my l equals in 
mine own nation, being more 
exceedingly zealous of the tradi- 
tions of my fathers. 

15 But when it pleased God, who 
separated me from my mother's 
womb, and called me by his grace, 

16 To r reveal his Son in me, that 
I might preach him among the 
heathen; immediately I conferred 
not with flesh and blood: 

17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem 
to them which were apostles before 
me ; but I went into Arabia, and 
returned again unto Damascus. 

18 Then after three years 1 2 went 
up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and 
abode with him fifteen days. 

19 But w other of the apostles saw 
I none, save x James the Lord's 
brother. 

20 Now the things which I write 
unto you, behold, before God, I he 
not. 

21 Afterwards y I came into the 
regions of Syria and Cilicia;

22 And was unknown by face unto 
the churches of Judea which were 
in Christ: 

23 But they had heard only, that 
he which persecuted us in times 
past now preacheth the faith which 
once he destroyed. 

24 And they glorified God in me. 

CHAPTER IL 

1 He showeth when and for wlutt purpose 
he went up to Jerusalem. 14 Of justifi- 
cation by faith, and not by works. 

THEN fourteen years after a I 
went up again to Jerusalem 
with Barnabas, and took Titus 
with me also. 

2 And I went up by l revelation, 
and communicated unto them 
that gospel which I preach among 
the Gentiles, but l privately to 
them which were of reputation, 
lest by any means c I should run, 
or had run, in vain. 

3 But neither Titus, who was with 
me, being a Greek, was compelled 
to be circumcised: 

4 And thatbecause of false brethren 
unawares brought in, who came in 
privily to spy out our d liberty which 
we have in Christ Jesus, 6 that they 
might bring us into bondage: 

5 To whom we gave place by sub- 
jection, no, not for an hour; that 
the truth of the Gospel might con- 
tinue with you. 

6 But of those / who seemed to be 
somewhat, whatsoever they were, 
it maketh no matter to me: 9 God 
accepteth no man's person: for 
they who seemed to be somewhat in 
A conference added nothing to me: 

7 But contrariwise, * when they 
saw that the gospel of the uncir- 
cumcision was $ committed unto 
me, as the gospel of the circumcision 
was unto Peter; 

8 (For he that wrought effectually 
in Peter to the apostleship of the 
circumcision, h the same was 
mighty in me toward the Gen- 
tiles:) 

9 And when James, Cephas, and 
John, who seemed to be l pillars, 
perceived m the grace that was 
given unto me, they gave to me 
and Barnabas the right hands of 
fellowship; that we should go unto 
the heathen, and they unto the 
circumcision. 

10 Only they would that we should 
remember the poor; " the same 
which I also was forward to do. 

11 But ° when Peter was come to 
Antioch, I withstood him to the 
face, because he was to be blamed. 



Justification by faith. 



GALATIANS, III. Tlie promise made to Abraham. 



12 For before that certain came 
from James, p he did eat with the 
Gentiles: but when they were 
come, he withdrew and separated 
himself, fearing them which were 
of the circumcision. 

13 And the other Jews dissembled 
likewise with him; insomuch that 
Barnabas also was carried away 
with their dissimulation. 

14 But when I saw that they 
walked not uprightly 5 according 
to the truth of the Gospel, I said 
unto Peter before them all, If r thou, 
being a Jew, livest after the manner 
of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, 
why compellest thou the Gentiles 
to five as do the Jews? 

15 We 3 who are Jews by nature, 
and not ' sinners of the Gentiles, 

16 Knowing w that a man is not 
justified by the worlds of the law, 
but by v the faith of Jesus Christ, 
even we have believed in Jesus 
Christ, that we might be justified 
by the faith of Christ, and not by 
the works of the law : for w by the 
works of the law shall no flesh be 
justified. 

17 But if, while we seek to be jus- 
tified by Christ, we ourselves also 
are found sinners, x is therefore 
Christ the minister of sin? God 
forbid. 

18 For if I build again the things 
which I destroyed, I make myself 
a transgressor. 

19 For I v through the law * am 
dead to the law, that 1 might a live 
unto God. 

20 I am b crucified with Christ: 
nevertheless I live ; yet not I, but 
Christ liveth in me : and the life 
which I now live in the flesh c I 
live by the faith of the Son of God, 
who loved me, and gave himself 
for me. 

21 1 do not frustrate the grace of 
God : for d if righteousness come by 
the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

1 3 Are ye so foolish? 6 having begun 
in the Spirit, are ye now made per- 
fect by /the flesh? 

4 Have 9 ye suffered 1 so many 
things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 

5 He therefore Hhat ministereth 
to you the Spirit, and worketh 
miracles among you, doeth he it by 
the works of the law, or by the 
hearing of faith? 

6 Even as Abraham believed God, 
and it was 2 accounted to him for 
righteousness. 

7 Know ye therefore that * they 
which are of faith, the same are the 
children of Abraham. 

8 And the Scripture, foreseeing 
that God would justify the heathen 
through faith, preached before the 
Gospel unto Abraham, saying, i In 
thee shall all nations be blessed. 

9 So then they which be of faith 
are blessed with faithful Abraham. 

10 For as many as are of the 
works of the law are under the 
curse : for it is written, * Cursed is 
every one that continueth not in 
all things which are written in the 
book of the law to do them. 

11 But that no man is justified by 
the law in the sight of God, it is 
evident: for, The l just shall live 
by faith. 

12 And m the law is not of faith : 
but, The man n that doeth them 
shall live in them. 

13 Christ hath redeemed us from 
the curse of the law, being made a 
curse for us: for it is written, 
Cursed ° is every one that hangeth 
on a tree: 

14 That p the blessing of Abraham 
might come on the Gentiles through 
J esus Christ; that we might receive 
the 2 promise of the Spirit through 
faith. 

15 Brethren, I speak after the 
manner of men; r Though it be but 
a man's 3 covenant, yet if it be con- 
firmed, no man disannulleth, or 
addeth thereto. 

16 Now to Abraham and his 
seed were the promises made. He 
saith not, And to seeds, as of many; 
but as of one, And to thy seed, 
which is s Christ. 

17 And this I say, that the cove- 
nan^ that was confirmed before.of 
God in Christ, the law, ' which was 
four hundred and thirty years 
after, cannot disannul, " that it 
should make the promise of none 
effect. 

18 For it " the inheritance be of 
the law, it w is no more of promise: 



All concluded under sin. 



GALATIANS, IV. 



Adoption through Christ. 



but God gave it to Abraham by 
promise. 

19 Wherefore then serveth the law? 
It x was added because of trans- 
gressions, till the seed should come 
to whom the promise was made; 
and it was y ordained by angels in 
the hand of a z mediator. 

20 Now a mediator is not a medi- 
ator of one; a but God is one. 

21 Is the law then against the 
promises of God? God forbid: for if 
there had been a law given which 
could have given life, verily right- 
eousness should have been by the 
law. 

22 But the Scripture hath con- 
cluded all under sin, that the 
promise by faith of Jesus Christ 
might be given to them that 
believe. 

23 But before faith came, we were 
kept under the law, shut up unto 
the faith which should afterwards 
be revealed. 

24 Wherefore h the law was our 
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, 
that c we might be justified by 
Mth. 

25 But after that faith is come, 
we are no longer under a school- 
master. 

26 For ye d are all the children of 
God by faith in Christ Jesus. 

27 For as many of you as have 
been baptized into Christ have put 
on Christ. 

28 There 6 is neither Jew nor 
Greek, there is neither bond nor 
free, there is neither male nor 
female: for ye are all •''one in Christ 
Jesus. 

29 And g if ye be Christ's, then are 
ye Abraham's seed, and h heirs 
according to the promise. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 The Jews were for a while tinder the laiv, 
4 but Christ came to redeem, and to give 
both to Jews and Gentiles the adoption of 
sons. 11 Paul's tender regard for them. 

NOW I say, That the heir, as long 
as he is a child, differeth no- 
thing from a servant, though he 
be lord of all; 

2 But is under tutors and govern- 
ors until the time appointed of the 
father. 

3 Even so we, when we were chil- 
dren, were ° in bondage under the 
1 elements of the world : 

4 But 6 when the fulness of the 
time was come, God sent forth his 
Son, made of c a woman, d made 
under the law, 

5 To 6 redeem them that were

under the law, / that we might 
receive the adoption of sons. 

6 And because ye are sons, God 
hath sent forth the Spirit of his 
Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, 
Father. 

7 Wherefore thou art no more a 
servant, but a son; 9 and if a son, 
then an heir of God through 
Christ. 

8 Howbeit then, A when ye knew 
not God, ye * did service unto them 
which by nature are no gods. 

9 But now, S after that ye have 
known God, or rather are known 
of God, * how turn ye 2 again to the 
weak l and beggarly 3 elements, 
whereunto ye desire again to be in 
bondage? 

10 Ye m observe days, and months, 
and times, and years. 

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have 
bestowed upon you labour in vain. 

12 Brethren, I beseech you, be 
as n I am; for I am as ye, are: ye 
have not injured me at all 

13 Ye know how ° through in- 
firmity of the flesh I preached the 
Gospel unto you p at the first. 

14 And my temptation which 
was in my flesh ye despised not, 
nor rejected; but received me q as 
an angel of God, even r as Christ 
Jesus. 

15 4 Where is then the blessed- 
ness ye spake of? for I bear you 
record, that, if it had been possible, 
ye would have plucked out your 
own eyes, and have given them 
to me. 

16 Am I therefore become your 
enemy, because I tell you the 
truth? 

17 They "zealously affect you, 
but not well; yea, they would ex- 
clude 5 you, that ye might affect 
them. 

18 But it is good to be zealously 
affected always in a good thing, and 
not only when I am present with 
you. 

19 My * little children, of whom 
I travail in birth again until Christ 
be formed in you, 

20 I desire to be present with you 
now, and to change my voice; for 
6 1 stand in doubt of you. 

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be 
under the law, do ye not hear the 
law? 

22 For it is written, that Abra- 
ham had two sons; u the one by a 
bond maid, v the other by a free 
woman. 

23 But he who was of the bond 



Allegory of Agar and Sara. 



GALATIANS, V. 



The fruits of the Spirit 



■woman was w born after the flesh; 
but * he of the free woman was by 
promise. 

24 Which things are an allegory: 
for these are the two 7 covenants; 
the one from the mount 8 Sinai, 
which gendereth to bondage, 
which is Agar. 

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai 
in Arabia, and 9 answereth to 
Jerusalem which now is, and is in 
bondage with her children. 

26 But v Jerusalem which is 
above is free, which is the mother 
of us all. 

27 For it is written, *Kejoice, 
1 hou barren that bearest not; break 
forth and cry, thou that travailest 
not: for the desolate hath many 
more children than she which 
hath an husband. 

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac 
was, are the a children of promise. 

29 But as then b he that was 
born after the flesh persecuted him 
that was born after the Spirit, even 
so it is now. 

30 Nevertheless what saith c the 
Scripture? Cast out the bond 
woman and her son: for d the son 
of the bond woman shall not be 
heir with the son of the free 
woman. 

31 So then, brethren, we are not 
children of the bond woman, but 
of the free.

tian liberty, 3 and not to observe circum-

STAND fast therefore in a the 
liberty wherewith Christ hath 
made us . free, and be not en- 
tangled again with 6 the yoke of 
bondage. 

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, 
that if c ye be circumcised, Christ 
shall profit you nothing. 

3 For I testify again to every 
man that is circumcised, d that he 
is a debtor to do the whole law. 

4 Christ e is become of no effect 
unto you, whosoever of you are 
justified by the law; ye ■''are fallen 
from grace. 

5 For we through the Sphit 5 wait 
for the hope of righteousness by 
faith.

circumcision availeth any thing, 
nor uncircumcision; but * faith 
which worketh by love.

hinder you that ye should not

8 This persuasion cometh not of 
him that calleth you. 

9 A little leaven leaveneth the 
whole lump. 

10 1 *have confidence in you 
through the Lord, that ye will be 
none otherwise minded: but l he 
that troubleth you shall m bear his 
judgment, whosoever he be. 

11 And n I, brethren, if 1 yet 
preach circumcision, °why do I 
yet suffer persecution? then is p the 
offence of the cross ceased. 

12 1 s would they were even r cut 
off which trouble you. 

13 For, brethren, ye have been 
called unto liberty; only 8 use not 
liberty for an occasion to the flesh, 
but by love serve one another. 

14 For all the law is fulfilled in 
one word, even in this, ? Thou shalt 
love thy neighbour as thyself. 

15 But if ye bite and devour one 
another, take heed that ye be not 
consumed one of another. 

16 This I say then, u Walk in the 
Spirit, and 2 ye shall not fulfil the 
lust of the flesh. 

17 For " the flesh lusteth against 
the Spirit, and the Spirit against 
the flesh: and these are contrary 
the one to the other; so w that ye 
cannot do the things that ye 
would. 

18 But * if ye be led by the Spirit, 
ye are not under the law. 

19 Now y the works of the flesh 
are manifest, which are these; 
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, 
lasciviousness, 

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, 
variance, emulations, wrath, 
strife, seditions, heresies, 

21 Envyings, murders, drunken- 
ness, revellings, and such like: of 
the which I tell you before, as I 
have also told you in time past, 
that * they which do such things 
shall not inherit the kingdom of 
God. 

22 But °the fruit of the Spirit 
is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, 
6 gentleness, goodness, c faith, 

23 Meekness, temperance: against 
such there is no law. 

24 And they that are Christ's 
have d crucified the flesh with the 
3 affections and lusts. 

25 If we five in the Sphit, let us 
also walk in the Spirit. 

26 Let us not be desirous of vain- 
glory, provoking one another, en- 
vying one another.

EPHESIANS, L 



for spiritual blessings. 



CHAPTEK VI. 

1 He willeth tltem to reform the faulty with 
gentleness, and to bear one another's 
burdens; 6tobe liberal to their teachers. 

BKETHKEN, x if a man be over- 
taken in a fault, ye a which 
are spiritual restore such an one 
in the ^spirit of meekness; consid- 
ering tnyself, c lest thou also be 
tempted. 

2 Bear d ye one another's burdens, 
and so fulfil * the law of Christ. 

3 For / if a man think himself to 
be something, when he 9 is nothing, 
he deceiveth himself. 

4 But h let every man prove his 
own work, and then shall he have 
rejoicing in himself alone, and not 
in * another. 

5 For t every man shall bear his 
own burden. 

6 Let *him that is taught in the 
word communicate unto him that 
teacheth in all good things. 

7 Be J not deceived; m God is not 
mocked: for n whatsoever a man 
soweth, that shall he also reap. 

8 For he that soweth to his 
flesh shall of the flesh reap corrup- 
tion; but he that soweth to the 
Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life

of ' the household of faith. 

11 Ye see how large a letter I 
have written unto you with mine 
own hand. 

12 As many as desire to make a 
fair show in the flesh, they con- 
strain you to be circumcised; only 
lest M they should suffer persecution 
for the cross of Christ. 

13 For neither they themselves 
who are circumcised keep the law; 
but desire to have you circum- 
cised, that they may glory in your 
flesh. 

H But God forbid that I should 
glory, save in the cross of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, by 2 whom the world 
is crucified unto me, and I unto 
the world. 

15 For in Christ Jesus neither 
circumcision availeth any thing, 
nor uncimuncision, but "a new 
creature. 

16 And as many as walk accord- 
ing to this rule, peace be on them, 
and mercy, and upon w the Israel 
of God. 

17 From henceforth let no man 
trouble me: for x I bear in my 
body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Lord Jesus Christ be with your 
spirit. Amen.

19 And what is the exceeding

others. 

4 But God, ° who is rich in mercy, 
for his great love wherewith he 
loved us, 

5 Even h when we were dead in 
sins, hath * quickened us together 
with Christ, ( 2 by grace ye are 
saved;) 

6 And hath raised us up together, 
and made us sit together in heav- 
enly places in Christ Jesus: 

7 That in the ages to come he 
might show the exceeding riches 
of his grace in his kindness toward 
us through Christ Jesus. 

8 For by grace are ye saved 
through i faith; and that not of 
yourselves; k it is the gift of God: 

9 Not l of works, lest any man 
should boast. 

10 For we are his workmanship, 
created in Christ Jesus unto good 
works, m which God hath before 
3 ordained that we should walk in 
them. 

11 Wherefore remember, that ye 
being in time past Gentiles in the 
flesh, who are called Uncircum- 
cision by that which is called n the 
Circumcision in the flesh made by 
hands; 

12 That ° at that time ye were 
without Christ, p being aliens from 
the commonwealth of Israel, and 
strangers from q the covenants of 
promise, having r no hope, s and 
without God in the world: 

13 But now \ in Christ Jesus ye 
who sometimes were far off are 
made nigh by the blood of Christ. 

14 For u he is our peace, who hath 
made both one, and hath broken 
down the middle wall of partition 
between us; 

15 Having abolished * in his flesh 
the enmity, even the law of com- 
mandments contained in ordi- 
nances: for to make in himself of 
twain * one new man, so making 
peace; 

16 And that he might reconcile 
both unto God in one body by the 
cross, having x slain the enmity 
* thereby: 

17 And y came and preached 
peace to you which were afar off, 
and to them that were nigh. 

18 For through him we both 
have access by one Spirit unto the 
Father.

19 Now therefore ye are no more 
strangers and foreigners, but fel- 
low-citizens with the saints, and of 
the household of God; 

20 And are built 2 upon the foun-

21 In whom all the building, fitly

Gentiles, 

2 (If ye have heard of c the dis- 
pensation of the grace of God

3 How that by revelation 6 he 
made known unto me the mystery; 
(as I wrote x afore in few words, 

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may 
understand my knowledge t in the 
mystery of Christ;) 

5 Which g in other ages was not 
made known unto the sons of men, 
as it is now revealed unto his holy 
apostles and prophets by the 
Spirit; 

6 That the Gentiles should be 
fellow-heirs, and of the same body, 
and h partakers of his promise in 
Christ by the Gospel: 

7 Whereof I was made a minister, 
according to the gift of the grace of 
God given unto me by * the effec- 
tual working of his power. 

8 Unto me, who am less than the 
least of all saints, is this grace given, 
that I should preach among the 
Gentiles J the unsearchable riches 
of Christ; 

9 And to make all men see what 
is the fellowship of the mystery, 
which * from the beginning of the 
world hath been hid in God, 
who { created all things by Jesus 
Christ: 

10 To m the intent that now 
unto * the principalities and 
powers in heavenly places ° might 
be known by the church the man- 
ifold wisdom of God, 

11 According to the eternal pur- 
pose which he purposed in Christ

CHAPTER IV. 

1 He exhorteth to unity; 24 to put on the 
new man; 25 to cast off lying, 29 corrupt 
communication, 31 and all bitterness. 

I THEREFORE, the prisoner 1 of 
the Lord,) beseech you ° that 
ye walk worthy of the vocation 
wherewith ye are called, 

2 With & all lowliness and meek- 
ness, with long-suffering, forbear- 
ing one another in love; 

3 Endeavouring to keep the 
unity of the Spirit c in the bond of 
peace. 

4 There d is one body, and one 
Spirit, even as ye are called in one 
hope of your calling; 

5 One 6 Lord, one faith, one / bap- 
tism, 

6 One 9 God and Father of all, 
who is above all, and h through 
ah, and in you all. 

7 But unto every one of us is given 
grace according to the measure of 
the gift of Christ. 

8 AVherefore he saith, * When he 
ascended up on high, i he led 

2 captivity captive, and gave gifts 
unto men. 

9 (Now k that he ascended, what 
is it but that he also descended

first into the lower parts of the 
earth? 

10 He that descended is the same 
also that l ascended up far above 
all heavens, that he might 3 fill all 
things.) 

11 And he gave m some, apostles; 
and some, prophets; and some, 
evangelists; and some, pastors and 
teachers; 

12 For the perfecting of the 
saints, for the work of the minis- 
try, n for the edifying of the body 
of Christ: 

13 Till we all come 4 in the unity 
of the faith, p and of the knowledge 
of the Son of God, unto a perfect 
man, unto the measure of the 
5 stature of the fulness of Christ: 

14 That we henceforth be no more 
children, tossed to and fro, and 
carried about with every q wind of 
doctrine, by the sleight of men, and 
cunning craftiness, whereby they 
he in wait to deceive; 

15 But 6 speaking the truth in 
love, may grow up into him in all 
things, which is the head, even 
Christ: 

16 From r whom the whole body 
fitly joined together and com- 
pacted by that which every joint 
supplieth, according to the effectual 
working in the measure of every 
part, maketh increase of the body 
unto the edifying of itself in love. 

17 This I say therefore, and testify 
in the Lord, that ye henceforth 
walk not as other Gentiles walk, in 
the vanity of their mind, 

18 Having the understanding 
darkened, * being alienated from 
the fife Of God through the igno- 
rance that is in them, because of 
the 7 blindness of their heart: 

19 Who ' being past feeling have 
given themselves over unto lasciv- 
iousness, to work all uncleanness 
with greediness. 

20 But ye have not so learned 
Christ; 

21 If so be that ye have heard him, 
and have been taught by him, as 
the truth is in Jesus: 

22 That ye put off, concerning the 
former conversation, the old man, 
which is corrupt according to the 
deceitful lusts; 

23 And M be renewed in the spirit 
of your mind; 

24 And that ye put on the new 
man, which after God is created in 
righteousness and 8 true holiness.

9 to give to him that needeth. 

29 Let no corrupt communication 
proceed out of your mouth, but that 
which is good 10 to the use of edify- 
ing, that it may minister grace unto 
the hearers. 

30 And w grieve not the Holy 
Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed 
unto the day of redemption. 

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, 
and anger, and clamour, and evil 
speaking, be put away from you, 
with all malice: 

32 And be ye kind one to another, 
tender-hearted, forgiving one an- 
other, even as God for Christ's sake 
hath forgiven you. 

CHAPTER V. 

2 He exhorteth to love; 3 to flee fornication, 
and all uncleanness; 15 to walk with 
prudence. 

BE ° ye therefore followers of God, 
as dear children; 

2 And 6 walk in love, as Christ also 
hath loved us, and hath given him- 
self for us an offering and a sacri- 
fice to God c for a sweet-smelling 
savour. 

3 But fornication, and all unclean- 
ness, or covetousness, let it not be 
once named among you, as be- 
cometh saints; 

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish 
talking, nor jesting, d which are 
not convenient; but rather giving 
of thanks. 

5 For this ye know, that no 
whoremonger, nor unclean person, 
nor covetous man, who is an idol- 
ater, hath e any inheritance in the 
kingdom of Christ and of God. • 

6 Let/ no man deceive you with 
vain words: for because of these 
things cometh the wrath of God 
upon the children of x disobe- 
dience. 

7 Be not ye therefore partakers 
with them. 

8 For ° ye were sometimes^ dark- 
ness, but now h are ye fight in the 
Lord: walk as children i of light;

10 Proving i what is acceptable 
unto the Lord. 

11 And * have no fellowship with 
the unfruitful works of darkness, 
but rather l reprove them. 

12 For it is a shame even to speak 
of those things which are done of 
them in secret. 

13 But m all things that are 2 re- 
proved are made manifest by the 
light: for whatsoever doth make 
manifest is light. 

14 Wherefore 3 he saith, n Awake 
thou that sleepest, and ° arise from

15 See then that ye walk circum-

16 Redeeming the time, because 
the days are evil. 

17 Wherefore p be ye not unwise, 
but q understanding what r the will 
of the Lord is. 

18 And be not drunk with wine, 
wherein is excess; but be filled with

psalms and hymns and spiritual 
songs, singing and making melody 
in your heart to the Lord; 

20 Giving ' thanks always for all 
things unto God and the Father in 
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 

21 Submitting u yourselves one to 
another in the fear of God. 

22 Wives, v submit yourselves unto 
your own husbands, as unto the 
Lord. 

23 For the husband is the head of 
the wife, even as Christ is the head 
of the church: and he is the saviour 
of the body. 

24 Therefore as the church is sub- 
ject unto Christ, so let the wives be 
to their own husbands in every 
thing. 

25 Husbands, love your wives, 
even as Christ also loved the 
church, and gave himself for it; 

26 That he might sanctify and 
cleanse w it with the washing of 
water x by the word, 

27 That he might present it to 
himself a glorious church, not 
having spot, or wrinkle, or any 
such thing; but that it should be 
holy and without blemish. 

28 So ought men to love their 
wives as their own bodies. He 
that loveth his wife loveth him- 
self 

29 For no man ever yet hated his 
own flesh; but nourisheth and 
cherisheth it, even as the Lord the 
church-:

CHAPTER VL 

1 The relative duties of children; 4 of 
parents; b of servants; 9 of masters. 

CHILDREN, a obey your parents 
in the Lord : for this is right. 

2 Honour 6 thy father and mother; 
(which is the first commandment 
with promise; ) 

3 That it may be well with thee, 
and thou mayest live long on the 
earth. 

4 And, c ye fathers, provoke not 
your children to wrath: but d bring 
them up in the nurture and admo- 
nition of the Lord. 

5 Servants, be obedient to them 
that are your masters according to 
the flesh, with fear and trembling, 
in singleness of your heart, as unto 
Christ; 

6 Not with eye-service, as men- 
pleasers; but as the servants of 
Christ, doing the will of God from 
the heart; 

7 With good will doing service, as 
to the Lord, and not to men: 

8 Knowing e that whatsoever 
good thing any man doeth, the 
same shall he receive of the Lord, 
whether he be bond or free. 

9 And, ye / masters, do the same 
things unto them, 1 forbearing 
threatening: knowing that 2 your 
Master also is in heaven; neither 
is 9 there respect of persons with 
him . 

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong 
in the Lord, and in the power of 
his might. 

11 Put k on the whole armour of 
God, that ye may be able to stand 
against the wiles of the devil. 

12 For we wrestle not against 
3 flesh and blood, but against * prin- 
cipalities, against powers, against 
the J rulers of the darkness of this 
world, against 4 spiritual wicked- 
ness in 5 high places.

CHAPTER L 

1 Paul's thankfulness and prayer to God 
for them: 21 his readiness to glorify 

Christ. 

PAUL and Timotheus, the ser- 
vants of Jesus Christ, to all the 
saints in Christ Jesus which are at 
Philippi, with the 1 bishops and 
deacons: 

2 Grace be unto you, and peace, 
from God our Father, and from the 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 I a thank my God upon every 

2 remembrance of you, 

4 Always in every prayer of mine 
for you all making request with 
joy, 

5 For & your fellowship in the 
Gospel from the first day until 
now; 

6 Being confident of this very 
thing, that he which hath begun 
a c good work in you 3 will perform 
it until the day of Jesus Christ: 

7 Even as it is meet for me to 
think this of you all, because 4 I 
have you in my heart; inasmuch 
as both in my d bonds, and in the 
defence and confirmation of the 
Gospel, e ye all are 6 partakers of 
my grace. 

8 For God is my record, how 
greatly I long after you all in the 
bowels of Jesus Christ. 

9 And this I pray, that f your love 
may abound yet more and more

ment; 

10 That 9 ye may 7 approve things 
that 8 are excellent; h that ye may 
be sincere and without offence till 
the day of Christ; 

11 Being filled with the fruits of 
righteousness, * which are by Jesus 
Christ, unto the glory and praise 
of God. 

12 But I would ye should under- 
stand, brethren, that the things 
which happened unto me have fallen 
out rather unto the furtherance of 
the Gospel; 

13 So that my bonds 9 in Christ 
are manifest i in all 10 the palace, 
and u in all other places; 

14 And many of the brethren in 
the Lord, waxing confident by my 
bonds, are much more bold to 
speak the word without fear. 

15 Some indeed preach Christ even 
of envy and k strife; and some also 
of good will: 

16 The one preach Christ of con- 
tention, not sincerely, supposing tc 
add affliction to my bonds: 

17 But the other of love, knowing 
that I am set for the defence of the 
Gospel. 

18 "What then? notwithstanding, 
every way, whether in pretence, or 
in truth, Christ is preached; and. I 
therein do rejoice, yea, and will 
rejoice. 



The apostle's readiness 



PHILTPPIANS, H. 



to glorify Christ. 



19 For I know that this shall turn 
to my salvation l through your 
prayer, and the supply of m the 
Spirit of Jesus Christ, 

20 According to my earnest ex- 
pectation and my hope, that n in 
nothing I shall he ashamed, hut 
that with all boldness, as always, so 
now also Christ shall he magnified 
in my body, whether it be by life, 
or by death. 

21 For to me to live is Christ, and 
to die is gain. 

22 But if I live in the flesh, this 
is the fruit of my labour: yet what 
I shall choose I wot not. 

23 For °I am in a strait betwixt 
two, having a desire to * depart, 
and to be with Christ; which is far 
better: 

24 Nevertheless to abide in the 
flesh is more needful for you. 

25 And having this confidence, I 
know that I shall abide and con- 
tinue with you all for your fur- 
therance and joy of faith; 

26 That your rejoicing may be 
more abundant in Jesus Christ 
for me by my coming to you 
again. 

27 Only let your conversation be 
as it becometh the gospel of Christ: 
that whether I come and see you, 
or else be absent, I may hear of 
your affairs, that ye stand fast in 
one spirit, with one mind striving 
together for the faith of the Gos- 
pel; 

28 And in nothing 9 terrified by 
your adversaries: which is to them 
an evident token of perdition, but 
to r you of salvation, and that of 
God. 

29 For unto you it is given in the 
behalf of Christ, s not only to be- 
lieve on him, but also to suffer for 
his sake; 

30 Having ' the same conflict 
which M ye saw in me, and now hear 
to be in me. 

CHAPTER JX 

Love, unity, and humility recommended. 

IF there be therefore any consola- 
tion in Christ, if any comfort of 
love, if a any fellowship of the Spirit, 
if any bowels and mercies, 

2 Fulfil 6 ye my joy, c that ye be 
like-minded, having the same 
love, being of one accord, of one 
mind. 

3 Let d nothing be done through 
strife or vain-glory; but e in lowli- 
ness of mind let each esteem other 
better than themselves.

4 Look ^not every man on his 
own things, but every man also 
on the things of others. 

5 Let 9 this mind be in you, which 
was also in Christ Jesus: 

6 Who, h being in the form of 
God, thought £ it not robbery to 
be equal with God; 

7 But 6 made himself of no repu- 
tation, and took upon him the 
form u of a servant, and l was made 
in the l likeness of men: 

8 And being found in fashion as 
a man, he humbled himself, and 
became m obedient unto death, 
even the death of the cross. 

9 Wherefore God also n hath 
highly exalted him, and ° given 
him a name which is above every 
name: 

10 That p at the name of Jesus 
every knee should bow, of things 
in heaven, and things in earth, and 
things under the earth; 

11 And q that every tongue should 
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, 
to the glory of God the Father. 

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye 
have always obeyed, not as in my 
presence only, but now much 
more in my absence, work out 
your own salvation with fear and 
trembling: 

m 13 For r it is God which worketh 
in you both to will and to do of 
his good pleasure. 

14 Do all things without mur- 
niurings and disputings: 

15 That ye may be blameless 
and 2 harmless, the sons of God, 
without rebuke, in the midst of a 
crooked and perverse nation, 
among whom 3 ye shine as lights 
in the world; 

16 Holding forth the word of 
life; that I may rejoice in the day 
of Christ, that I have not run in 
vain, neither laboured in vain. 

17 Yea, and if I be 4 offered upon 
the sacrifice and service of your 
faith, I joy and rejoice with you 
all. 

18 For the same cause also do ye 
joy and rejoice with me. 

19 5 But I trust in the Lord Jesus 
to send Timotheus shortly unto 
you, that I also may be of good 
comfort when I know your state. 

20 For I have no man 6 like- 
minded, who will naturally care 
for your state. 

21 For all seek their own, not 
the things which are Jesus 
Christ's. 

22 But ye know the proof of him, 



He premises to send Timothy. PHTLLPPIANS, EL

that, as a son with the father, he 
hath served with me in the Gos- 
pel. 

23 Him therefore I hope to send 

Eresently, so soon as I shall see 
ow it will go with me. 

24 But I trust in the Lord that I 
also myself shall come shortly. 

25 Yet I supposed it necessary to 
send to you " Epaphroditus, my 
brother, and companion in labour, 
and fellow-soldier, but your * mes- 
senger, and u he that ministered 
to my wants. 

26 For he longed after you all, 
and was full of heaviness, because 
that ye had heard that he had 
been sick. 

27 For indeed he was sick nigh 
unto death: but God had mercy 
on him; and not on him only, but 
on me also, lest I should have 
sorrow upon sorrow. 

28 I sent him. therefore the more 
carefully, that, when ye see him 
again, ye may rejoice, and that I 
may be the less sorrowful. 

29 Keceive him therefore in the 
Lord with all gladness; and 7 hold 
such in reputation: 

30 Because for the work of Christ 
he was nigh unto death, not re- 
garding his life, "to supply your 
lack of service toward me. 

CHAPTER IH. 

2 To beware of false- teachers. 12 The 
apostle's anxiety for the heavenly prize. 

FINALLY, my brethren, rejoice 
in the Lord. To write the 
same things to you, to me indeed is 
not grievous, but for you it is safe. 

2 Beware a of dogs, beware of evil 
workers, h beware of the concision. 

3 For we are c the circumcision, 
which worship d God in the spirit, 
and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and 
have no confidence in the flesh. 

4 Though I might also have con- 
fidence in the flesh. If any other 
man thinketh that he hath where- 
of he might trust in the flesh, I 
more: 

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of 
the stock of Israel, of the tribe of 
Benjamin, an Hebrew of the He- 
brews; as touching the law, e a 
Pharisee; 

6 Concerning /zeal, ^persecuting 
the church; touching the right- 
eousness which is in the law, 
blameless. 

7 But what things were gain to 
me, those I counted loss for 
Christ. 

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all

things but loss h for the excellency 
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus 
my Lord: for whom I have suffered 
the loss of all things, and do count 
them but dung, that I may win 
Christ, 

9 And be found in him, *not 
having mine own righteousness, 
which is of the law, but ^'that 
which is through the faith of 
Christ, the righteousness which is 
of God by faith; 

10 That I may know him, and 
the power of his resurrection, 
and k the fellowship of his suffer- 
ings, being made conformable unto 
his death; 

11 If by any means I might 
attain 'unto the resurrection of 
the dead. 

12 Not as though I had m already 
attained, either were n already 
perfect; but I follow after, if that 
I may apprehend that for which 
also I am apprehended of Christ 
Jesus. 

13 Brethren, I count not myself 
to have apprehended: but this one 
thing I do, forgetting those things 
which are behind, and reaching 
forth "unto those things which are 
before, 

14 I p press toward the mark for 
the prize of q the high calling of 
God in Christ Jesus. 

15 Let us therefore, as many r as 
be perfect, 'be thus minded: and 
if m any thing ye be otherwise 
minded, God shall reveal even 
this unto you. 

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have 
already attained, let us walk by 
the same rule, let us mind the same 
thing. 

17 Brethren, be followers together 
of me, and mark them which walk 
so as ye 'have us for an ensample. 

18 (For many walk, of whom I 
have told you often, and now tell 
you even weeping, thai they are the 
enemies of the cross of Christ: 

19 Whose end is destruction, 
whose god is their belly, and whose 
glory is in their shame, who mind 
earthly things.) 

20 For w our conversation is in 
heaven; from whence also "we 
look for the Saviour, the Lord 
Jesus Christ: 

21 Who "'shall change our vile 
body, that it may be fashioned 
like unto his glorious body, 
according x to the working where- 
by he is able even to subdue all 
things unto himself.

PHILIPPIANS, IV. Liberality of the PUUppians. 



CHAPTEK IV. 

4 General exhortations: 10 his joy for 

their liberality. 

THEREFORE, my brethren 
dearly beloved and longed 
for, a my joy and crown, so stand 
last in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 

2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech 
Syntyche, that they be of the same 
mind in the Lord. 

3 And I entreat thee also, true 
yoke-fellow, help those women 
which laboured with 6 me in the 
Gospel, with Clement also, and 
with other my fellow -labourers, 
whose names are in the c book of 
life. 

4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: 
and again I say, Rejoice. 

5 Let your moderation be known 
unto all men. d The Lord is at 
hand. 

6 Be' careful for nothing; but in 
every thing by prayer and suppli- 
cation with thanksgiving let your 
requests be made known unto 
God. 

7 And /the peace of God, which 
passeth all understanding, shall 
keep your hearts and minds 
through Christ Jesus. 

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever 
things are true, whatsoever things 
are x honest, whatsoever things are 
just, whatsoever things are pure, 
whatsoever things are lovely, what- 
soever things are of good report; 
if there be any virtue, and if there 
be any praise, think on these 
things. 

9 Those things, which ye have 
both learned, and received, and 
heard, and seen in me, do: and 
the God of peace shall be with 
you. 

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord 
greatly, that now at the last ^your 
care of me 2 hath nourished again; 
wherein ye were also careful, but 
ye lacked opportunity.

I am full, having received p of

sent from you, an odour of a sweet

19 But my God r shall supply all

truth: 

7 As ye also learned of * Epaphras 
our dear fellow-servant, who is for 
you a faithful minister of Christ; 

8 Who also declared unto us your 
love in the Spirit. 

9 For Hhis cause we also, since the 
day we heard it, do not cease to 
pray for you, and to desire that ye 
might be filled with the 3 know- 
ledge of his will in all wisdom and 
spiritual understanding; 

10 That * ye 'might walk worthy 
of the Lord l unto all pleasing, 
being m fruitful in every good 
work, and increasing in the know- 
ledge of God; 

11 Strengthened with all might, 
according to his glorious power, 
unto all patience and long-suffer- 
ing n with joyfulness; 

12 Giving ° thanks unto the 
Father, which hath made us meet 
to be partakers of the p inheritance 
of the saints in light: 

13 Who hath delivered us from 
the q power of darkness, r and hath 
translated us into the kingdom of 
1 his dear Son: 

14 In whom we have redemption 
through his blood, even the for- 
giveness of sins: 

15 Who is s the image of the in- 
visible God, the f first-born of every 
creature: 

16 For u by him were all things 
created that are in heaven, and that 
are in earth, visible and invisible, 
whether they be thrones, or domin- 
ions, or principalities, or powers: 
all things were created v by ' him, 
and for him: 

17 And w he is before all things, 
and by him all things consist; 

18 And he is the head of the 
body, the church: who is the be- 
ginning, x the first-born from the 
dead; that 2 in all things he might 
have the pre-eminence. 

< 19 For it pleased the Father that 
in y him should all fulness dwell; 

20 And, 3 having made peace 
through the blood of his cross, by 
him to reconcile all things unto 
him self; by him, 1 say, whether 
they be things in earth, or things in 
heaven.

hath he reconciled 

22 In the body of his flesh through

Christ in my flesh for a his body's 
sake, which is the church: 

25 Whereof I am made a minis- 
ter, according to the dispensation 
of God which is given to me for 
you, 6 to fulfil the word of God; 

26 Even b the mystery which hath 
been hid from ages and from gene- 
rations, but now is made manifest 
to his saints: 

27 To whom God would make 
known what is the riches of the 
glory of this mystery among the 
Gentiles; which is Christ 6 in you, 
the hope of glory: 

28 Whom we preach, warning 
every man, and teaching every 
man in all wisdom; that we may 
present every man perfect in Christ 
Jesus: 

29 Whereunto 1 also labour, 
striving according to his working, 
which worketh in me mightily. 

CHAPTER H 

He exhorteth them to constancy in Christ. 

FOE I would that ye knew what 
great l conflict I have for you, 
and for them at Laodicea, and for 
as many as have not seen my face 
in the flesh; 

2 That "their hearts might be 
comforted, being knit together in

full assurance of understanding, 
to the acknowledgment of the 
mystery of God, and of the Father, 
and of Christ; 

3 2 In whom are hid all the treas- 
ures of wisdom and knowledge. 

4 And this I say, lest any man 
should beguile you with enticing 
words.

6 As ye have therefore received 
Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye 
in him; 

7 Booted and built up in him, and 
stablished in the faith, as ye have 
been taught, abounding therein 
with thanksgiving. 

8 Beware c lest any man spoil you 
through philosophy and vain de- 
ceit, after the d tradition of men, 
after the 3 rudiments of the world, 
and not after Christ. 

9 For e in him dwelleth all the 
fulness of the Godhead bodily. 

10 And / ye are complete in him, 
which 9 is the head of all princi- 
pality and power: 

11 In whom also ye are h circum- 
cised with the circumcision made 
without hands, in putting off the 
body of the sins of the flesh by the 
circumcision of Christ : 

12 Buried * with him in baptism, 
wherein also ye are risen with him 
through i the faith of the operation 
of God, who hath raised him from 
the dead. 

13 And you, being dead in your 
sins and the uncircumcision of 
your flesh, hath he quickened to- 
gether with him, having forgiven 
you all trespasses; 

14 Blotting out the hand- writing 
of ordinances that was against us, 
which was contrary to us, and took 
it out of the way, nailing it to his 
cross; 

15 And, h having spoiled princi- 
palities and powers, he made a 
show of them openly, triumphing 
over them i in it. 

16 Let no man therefore l judge 
you 5 in meat, or in drink, or 6 in 
respect of m an holyday, or of the 
new moon, or of the sabbath days: 

17 Which n are a shadow of 
things to come; but the body is of 
Christ. 

18 Let no man 7 beguile you of 
your reward 8 in a voluntary 
humility and worshipping " of 
angels, intruding into those 
things which he hath not seen, 
vainly puffed up by his fleshly 
mind,

creaseth with the increase of

THESSALONIANS. 



CHAPTER I. 

Paid showeth his remembrance of them in 
thanksgiving and prayer. 

PAUL, and a Silvanus, and Timo- 
theus, unto the church of the 
Thessalonians which is h in God the 
Father and in the Lord Jesus 
Christ: Grace be unto you, and 
peace, from God our Father, and 
the Lord Jesus Christ. 

2 "We give thanks to God always 
for you all, making mention of you 
in our prayers; 

3 Remembering without ceasing 
your work of c faith, d and labour 
of love, and patience of hope in our 
Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of 
God and our Father; 

4 Knowing, brethren x beloved, 
your 6 election of God. 

5 For/ our gospel came not unto 
you in word only, but also in 
power, and in 9 the Holy Ghost, 
and h in much assurance ; as ye 
know * what manner of men we 
were among you for your sake. 

6 And ye became followers of us, 
and of the Lord, having received 
the word in much affliction, with 
joy of the Holy Ghost: 

7 So that ye were ensamples to 
all that believe in Macedonia and 
Achaia. 

8 For from you •?' sounded out the 
word of the Lord not only in 
Macedonia and Achaia, but also in 
every place your faith to God-ward 
is spread abroad; so that we need 
not to speak any thing. 

9 For they themselves show of us 
what manner of entering in we 
had unto you, and how ye turned 
to God from idols to serve the 
living and true God; 

10 And to *wait for his Son z from 
heaven, whom he raised from the 
dead, even Jesus, which delivered 
us from m the wrath to come. 

CHAPTER H. 
1 In what manner the Gospel was preached 
tmto them. 17 His desire of coming to 
them. 

FOR yourselves, brethren, know 
our entrance in unto you, that 
it was not in vain: 

2 But even after that we had suf- 
fered before, and were shamefully 
entreated, as ye know, at a Phi- 
lippi, we were bold in our God 6 to 
speak unto you the gospel of God 
with much contention.

3 For our exhortation was not of 
deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in 
guile: 

4 But as c we were allowed of God 
to d be put in trust with the Gospel, 
even so we speak; not as pleasing 
men, but God, which 6 trieth our 
hearts. 

5 For neither at any time used 
we flattering words, as ye know, 
nor a cloak of covetousness; God 
is witness: 

6 Nor /of men sought we glory, 
neither of you, nor pet of others, 
when we might have l been bur- 
densome, as the apostles of Christ. 

7 But we were gentle among you, 
even as a nurse cherisheth her 
children: 

8 So being affectionately desirous 
of you, wc were whling 9 to have 
imparted unto you, not the gospel 
of God only, but also our h own 
souls, because ye were dear unto us. 

9 For ye remember, brethren, our 
labour and travail: for labouring 
night and day, because * we would 
not be chargeable unto any of you, 
we preached unto you the gospel 
of God. 

10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, 
how holily and justly and un- 
blameably we behaved ourselves 
among you that believe : 

11 As ye know how we exhorted 
and comforted and charged every 
one of you, as a father doth his 
children, 

12 That i ye would walk worthy 
of God, who hath called you unto 
his kingdom and glory. 

13 For this cause also thank we 
God without ceasing, because, 
when ye received the word of God 
which ye heard of us, ye received 
it k not as the word of men, but, as 
it is in truth, the word of God, 
which effectually worketh also in 
you that believe. 

14 For ye, brethren, became fol- 
lowers of the l churches of God 
which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: 
for n ye also have suffered like 
things of your own countrymen, 
even " as they have of the Jews: 

15 Who both killed the Lord 
Jesus ° and their own prophets, 
and have persecuted us; and they 
please not God, and are contrary 
to all men:

16 Forbidding v us to speak to 
the Gentiles that they might be 
saved, q to fill up their sins alway: 
for r the wrath is come upon them 
to the uttermost. 

17 But we, brethren, being taken 
from you for a short time in 
presence, not in heart, endeav- 
oured the more abundantly to 
see your face with great desire. 

18 Wherefore we would have 
come unto you, even I Paul, once 
and again; but Satan hindered us. 

19 For what is our hope, or joy, or 
crown of 3 rejoicing? Are not even 
ye in the presence of our Lord 
Jesus Christ * at his coming? 

20 For ye are our glory and joy.

no longer forbear, * we 
thought it good to be left at 
Athens alone, 

2 And sent b Timotheus, our bro- 
ther, and minister of God, and our 
fellow-labourer in the gospel of 
Christ, to establish you, and to 
comfort you concerning your 
faith: 

3 That c no man should be moved 
by these afflictions: for yourselves 
know that a we are appointed 
thereunto. 

4 For 6 verily, when we were with 
you, we told you before that we 
should suffer tribulation ; even as 
it came to pass, and ye know. 

5 For this cause, when I could no 
longer forbear, I sent to know your 
faith, / lest by some means the 
tempter have tempted you, and 
our 9 labour be in vain. 

6 But h now when Timotheus came 
from you unto us, and brought us 
good tidings of your faith and 
charity, and that ye have good 
remembrance of us always, de- 
siring greatly to see us, » as we also 
to see you: 

7 Therefore, brethren, we were 
comforted over you in all our 
affliction and distress by your faith: 

8 For now we live, if ye 1 stand 
fast in the Lord. 

9 For what thanks can we render 
to God again for you, for all the 
joy wherewith we joy for your 
sakes before our God; 

10 Night h and day praying ex- 
ceedingly that we might see your 
face, and might perfect that which 
is lacking in your faith?

increase and abound in love one

men, even as we do toward you: 

13 To the end he may stablish 
your hearts unblameable in holi-

Christ ( with all his saints. 

CHAPTEE IV.

The saints' resurrection, and Christ's 
second coming. 

FURTHERMORE then we * be- 
seech you, brethren, and 2 ex- 
hort you by the Lord Jesus, that as 
ye have received of us how ye 
ought to walk and a to please God, 
so ye would abound more and 
more. 

2 For ye know what command- 
ments we gave you by the Lord 
Jesus. 

3 For this is 6 the will of God, even 
your sanctification, that ye should 
abstain from fornication: 

4 That c every one of you should 
know how to possess his vessel in 
sanctification and honour; 

5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, 
even as the Gentiles d which know 
not God: 

6 That 6 no man go beyond and 
3 defraud his brother 4 in any mat- 
ter: because that the Lord is the 
avenger of all such, as we also have 
forewarned you and testified. 

7 For God hath not called us unto 
uncleanness, f but unto holiness. 

8 He 9 therefore that 5 despiseth, 
despiseth not man, but God, h who 
hath also given unto us his Holy 
Spirit. 

9 But as touching brotherly love 
ye need not that I write unto you; 
for ye * yourselves are taught of 
God i to love one another. 

10 And indeed ye do it toward 
all the brethren which are in 
all Macedonia: but we beseech 
you, brethren, that ye increase 
more and more; 

11 And that ye study to be quiet, 
and to do your own business, and 
to work with your own hands, as 
we commanded you; 

12 That ye may walk honestly 
toward them that are without, 
and that ye may have lack 6 of 
nothing. 

13 But I would not have you to 
be ignorant, brethren, concerning 



Of the coming of the Lord. 1 THESSALONI ANS, V.

them which are asleep, that ye 
sorrow not, even fi as others which 
have no hope. 

14 For ' if we believe that Jesus 
died and rose again, even so them 
also which sleep in Jesus will God 
bring with him. 

15 For this we say unto you m by 
the word of the Lord, that we 
which are alive and remain unto 
the coming of the Lord shall not 
prevent them which are asleep. 

16 For n the Lord himself shall 
descend from heaven with a shout, 
with the voice of the archangel, 
and with the trump of God: and 
the dead in Christ shall rise first: 

17 Then we which are alive and 
remain shall be caught up together 
with them ° in the clouds, to meet 
the Lord in the air : and so p shall 
we ever be with the Lord. 

18 Wherefore 7 comfort one an- 
other with these words. 

CHAPTER V. 
Of Christ's second coming. 

BUT of a the times and the sea- 
sons, brethren, ye have no 
need that I write unto you. 

2 For yourselves know perfectly, 
that Hhe day of the Lord so cometh 
as a thief in the night. 

3 For when they shall say, Peace 
and safety, then c sudden destruc- 
tion cometh upon them, as travail 
upon a woman with child; and 
they shall not escape. 

4 But d ye, brethren, are not in 
darkness, that that day should 
overtake you as a thief. 

5 Ye are all e the children of fight, 
and the children of the day: we are 
not of the night, nor of darkness. 

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do 
others; but let us watch and be 
sober. 

7 For /they that sleep sleep in the 
night; and they that be drunken 
are 9 drunken in the night. 

8 But let us, who are of the day, 
be sober, putting h on the breast- 
plate of faith and love; and for an 
helmet the hope of salvation.

4 So that d we ourselves glory in 
you in the churches of God 6 for 
your patience and faith /in all 
your persecutions and tribulations 
that ye endure: 

5 Which is 9 a manifest token of 
the righteous judgment of God, 
that ye may be counted h worthy 
of the kingdom of God, for which 
ye also suffer: 

6 Seeing * it is a righteous thing 
with God to recompense tri- 
bulation to them that trouble 
you; 

7 And to you who are troubled 
rest i with us, when the Lord Jesus 
shall be revealed from heaven

presence of the Lord, and m from 
the glory of his power; 

10 When he shall come to be 
glorified in his saints, and to be 
admired in all them that believe, 
(because our testimony among you 
was believed,) in that day. 

11 Wherefore also we pray always 
for you, that our God would 3 count 
you worthy of this calling, and fulfil 
all the good pleasure of his good- 
ness, and the work of faith with 
power:

together unto him, 

2 That ye be not soon shaken in 
mind, or be troubled, neither by 
spirit, nor by word, nor by letter

good, if a man use it lawfully; 

9 Knowing 3 this, that the law is 
not made for a righteous man, but

8 I will therefore that men pray 
every g where, lifting up holy 
hands, without wrath and doubt- 
ing. 

9 In like manner also, that women 
adorn themselves in modest appa- 
rel, with shame-facedness and so- 
briety; not with 4 broidered hair, 
or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 

10 But (which becometh women 
professing godliness) with good 
works. 

11 Let the woman learn in silence 
with all subjection. 

12 But I suffer not a woman to 
teach, nor to usurp authority over 
the man, but to be in silence. 

13 For Adam was first formed, 
then Eve. 

14 And Adam was not deceived, 
but the woman being deceived was 
in the transgression. 

15 Notwithstanding she shall be 
saved h in child-bearing, if they 
continue in faith and charity and 
holiness with sobriety. 

CHAPTEE HI. 

2 How bishops, 8 deacons, 11 and their 
wives, should be qualified. 16 Important 
truths of Christian revelation. 

THIS is a true saying, If a man 
desire the office of a a bishop, 
he desireth a good work. 

2 A bishop then must be blame- 
less, the husband of one wife, vigi- 
lant, sober, x of good behaviour, 
given to hospitality, apt to teach; 

3 2 Not given to wine, no striker, 
not greedy of filthy lucre ; but pa- 
tient, not a brawler, not covetous; 

4 One B that ruleth well his own 
house, having his children in sub- 
jection with all gravity; 

5 (For if a man know not how to 
rule his own house, how shall he 
take care of the church of God?) 

6 Not 3 a novice, lest being lifted 
up with pride he fall into the con- 
demnation of the devil. 

7 Moreover he must have a good 
report of them which are without; 
lest he fall into reproach and the 
snare of the devil. 

8 Likewise must the deacons be 
grave, not double tongued, not 
given to much wine, not greedy of 
filthy lucre; 

9 Holding the mystery of the 
faith in a pure conscience. 

10 And let these also first be 
proved; then let them use the 
office of a deacon, being found 
blameless. 



Various precepts 



1 TIMOTHY, IV, Y. 



for Timothy's direction. 



11 Even so must their wires be 
grave, not slanderers, sober, faith- 
ful in all things. 

12 Let the deacons he the hus- 
bands of one wife, ruling their 
children and their own houses 
well. 

13 For they that have 4 used the 
office of a deacon well purchase to 
themselves a good degree, and 
great boldness in the faith which 
is in Christ Jesus. 

14 These things write I unto thee, 
hoping to come unto thee shortly: 

15 But if I tarry long, that thou 
mayest know how thou oughtest 
to behave thyself in the house of 
God, which is the church of the 
living God, the pillar and 5 ground 
of the truth. 

16 And without controversy great 
is the mystery of godliness : c God 
was 6 manifest in the flesh, d justi- 
fied in the Spirit, 6 seen of angels, 
preached unto the Gentiles, be- 
lieved on in the world, received up 
into glory. 

CHAPTER IY. 
Various precepts for Timothy's direction. 

NOW the Spirit ° speaketh ex- 
pressly, that 6 in the latter 
times some shall depart from the 
faith, giving heed c to seducing 
spirits, d and doctrines of devils; 

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; 
having e their conscience seared 
with a hot iron; 

3 Forbidding/ to many? and com- 
manding, to abstain from meats, 
which God hath created h to be 
received with thanksgiving of 
them which believe and know the 
truth. 

4 For * every creature of God is 
good, and nothing to be refused, if 
it be received with thanksgiving: 

5 For it is sanctified by the word 
of God and prayer. 

6 If thou put the brethren in re- 
membrance of these things, thou 
shalt be a good minister of Jesus 
Christ, nourished up i in the words 
of faith and of good doctrine, 
whereunto thou hast attained. 

7 But refuse profane and old 
wives' fables, and exercise thyself 
rather unto godliness. 

8 For bodily exercise profiteth 
1 little; but godliness is profitable 
unto all things, having k promise 
of the life that now is, and of that 
which is to come. 

9 This is a faithful saying, and 
worthy of all acceptation.

CHAPTEE Y. 

1 Rules to be observed in admonishing. 22 
Not to ordain any rashly. 

REBUKE "not an elder, but en- 
treat him as a father; and the 
younger men as brethren; 

2 The elder women as mothers; 
the younger as sisters, with all 
purity. 

3 Honour widows that are widows 
indeed. 

4 But if any widow have children 
or nephews, let them learn first to 
show 1 piety at home, and h to re- 
quite their parents: for that is good 
and acceptable before God. 

5 Now she that is a widow indeed, 
and desolate, trusteth in God, and 
continueth in supplications and 
prayers night and day. 

6 But she that liveth 2 in pleasure 
is dead while she liveth. 

7 And these things give in charge, 
that they may be blameless. 

8 But if* any provide not for his 
own, and specially for those of his 
own 3 house, he hath denied the 
faith, and is worse than an infidel. 

9 Let not a widow be i taken 
into the number under threescore 
years old, having been the wife of 
one man, 

10 Well reported of for good 
works; if she have brought up 
children, if she have lodged c stran- 
gers, if she d have washed the 
saints' feet, if she have relieved 
the afflicted, if she have diligently 
followed every good work.

11 But the younger widows re- 
fuse: for when they have begun to 
wax wanton against Christ, they 
will marry; 

12 Having "damnation, because 
they have cast off their first faith. 

< 13 And /withal they learn to be 
idle, wandering about from house 
to house; and not only idle, 
but tattlers also and busybodies, 
speaking things which they ought 
not. 

14 I * will therefore that the 
younger women marry, bear chil- 
dren, guide the house, h give none 
occasion to the adversary 5 to speak 
reproachfully. 

1 5 For some are already turned 
aside after Satan. 

16 If i any man or woman that 
believeih have widows, let them 
relieve them, and let not the 
church be charged; that it may re- 
lieve them that are widows indeed 

17 Let 3 the elders that rule well 
be counted worthy of double hon- 
our, especially they who labour in 
the word and doctrine. 

18 For the Scripture saith, * Thou 
shalt not muzzle the ox that tread- 
eth out the corn: and, J The la- 
bourer is worthy of his reward. 

19 Against an elder receive not 
an accusation, but 6 before two or 
three witnesses. 

20 Them m that sin rebuke before 
all, that others n also may fear. 

21 I charge thee before God, and 
the Lord Jesus Christ, and the 
elect angels, that thou observe 
these things 'without preferring 
one before another, doing nothing 
by partiality. 

22 Lay ° hands suddenly on no 
man, neither p he partaker of 
other men's sins: keep' thyself pure. 

23 Drink no longer water, but 
use a little wine for thy stomach's 
sake and thine often infirmities. 

24 Some men's sins are open

TIMOTHY 



CHAPTER I. 

1 Paul's love to Timothy: 6 he exhorteth 
him not to be ashamed of the Gospel. 

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ 
by the will of God, according 
to a the promise of life which is in 
Christ Jesus, 

2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved 
son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from 
God the Father and Christ Jesus 
our Lord. 

3 I thank God, whom I serve 
from my forefathers with pure con- 
science, that without ceasing I 
have remembrance of thee in my 
prayers night and day; 

4 Greatly desiring to see thee, 
being mindful of thy tears, that I 
may be filled with joy; 

5 When I call to remembrance 
the unfeigned faith that is in thee, 
which dwelt first in thy grand- 
mother Lois, and Hhy mother 
Eunice; and I am persuaded that 
in thee also. 

6 Wherefore 1 put thee in re- 
membrance that c thou stir up the 
gift of God, which is in thee by the 
putting on of my hands. 

7 For d God hath not given us 
the spirit of fear; 6 but of power, 
and of love, and of a sound mind. 

8 Be'not thou therefore ashamed 
of the testimony of our Lord, nor 
of me his prisoner: but be thou 
partaker of the afflictions of the 
Gospel according to the power of 
God; 

9 Who hath saved us, and ^called 
us with an holy calling, A not 
according to our works, but accord- 
ing * to his own purpose and grace, 
which was given us in Christ Jesus 
before S the world began,

Of evil teachers. 



2 And the things that thou hast 
heard of me * among many wit- 
nesses, h the same commit thou to 
faithful men, who shall be able to 
teach others also. 

3 Thou therefore endure hard- 
ness, as a good soldier of Jesus 
Christ. 

4 No c man that warreth entang- 
leth himself with the aifairs of this 
life, that he may please him who 
hath chosen him to be a soldier. 

5 And if a man also strive for 
masteries, pet is he not crowned, 
except he strive lawfully. 

6 2 The husbandman that labour- 
eth must be first partaker of the 
fruits. 

7 Consider what I say; and the 
Lord give thee understanding in 
all tMngs. 

8 Kemember that Jesus Christ of 
the <*seed of David "was raised 
from the dead according /to my 
gospel: 

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an 
evil-doer, even unto bonds; but the 
word of God is not bound. 

10 Therefore I endure all things 
for the elect's sakes, ^that they 
may also obtain the salvation 
which is in Christ Jesus with eter- 
nal glory. 

11 It h is a faithful saying : For % if 
we be dead with him, we shall also 
live with him: 

12 If i we suffer, we shall also 
reign with him: k if we deny him,

13 If l we believe not, yet he 
abideth faithful: m he cannot deny 
himself. 

14 Of these things put them in re- 
membrance, B charging them before 
the Lord that °they strive not 
about words to no profit, but to the 
subverting of the hearers. 

15 Study to show thyself approved

eth not to be ashamed, rightly 
dividing the word of truth.

not only vessels of gold and of

some to dishonour. 

21 If a man therefore purge him- 
self from these, he shall be a vessel 
unto honour, sanctified, and meet 
for the master's use, and prepared 
unto every good work. 

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but 
follow righteousness, faith, charity, 
peace, with them that call on 
the Lord out of a pure heart. 

23 But foolish and unlearned 
questions avoid, knowing that 
they do gender strifes. 

24 And the servant of the Lord 
must not strive; but be gentle unto 
all men, apt to teach, 5 patient, 

25 In meekness instructing those 
that oppose themselves; if Godper- 
adventure will give them repent-

3 Without natural affection, truce-

ers of God; 

5 Having a form of godliness, but 
denying the c power thereof: from

away with divers lusts,

pose, faith, long-suffering, charity, 
patience, 

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which 
came unto me h at Antioch, * at 
Iconium, at Lystra; what persecu- 
tions I endured: i but out of tliem

12 Yea, and k all that will live 
godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer 
persecution. 

13 But evil men and seducers 
shall wax worse and worse, deceiv- 
ing, and being deceived. 

14 But continue thou in the 
things which thou hast learned 
and hast been assured of, know- 
ing of whom thou hast learned 
them; 

15 And that from a child thou 
hast known the holy Scriptures,

who shall judge the quick and the 
dead at his appearing and his 
kingdom; 

2 Preach the word; be instant in 
season, out of season; reprove, 
a rebuke, exhort, with 6 all long- 
suffering and doctrine. 

3 For the time will come when 
they will not endure c sound doc- 
trine; but after their own lusts 
shall they heap to themselves 
teachers, having itching ears; 

4 And they shall turn away their 
ears from the truth, and d shall be 
turned unto fables. 

5 But watch thou in all things, 
endure afflictions, do the work of

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO 



TITUS. 



CHAPTER I. 

5 Why Titus was left in Crete. 6 How 
ministers should be qualified, etc. 

PAUL, a servant of God, and an 
apostle of Jesus Christ, accord- 
ing to the faith of God's elect, a and 
the acknowledging of the truth 
which 6 is after godliness; 

2 } In hope of eternal life, which 
God, that cannot lie, promised 
before e the world began; 

3 But hath in due times mani- 
fested his word through preaching, 
which is committed unto me d ac- 
cording to the commandment of 
God our Saviour; 

4 To e Titus, mine own son after 
the common faith: Grace, mercy, 
and peace, from God the Father 
and the Lord Jesus Christ our 
Saviour. 

5 For this cause left I thee in 
Crete, that thou shouldest'set in 
order the things that are 2 wanting, 
and 9 ordain elders in every city, 
as I had appointed thee: 

6 If any be blameless, the hus- 
band of one wife, having faithful 
children, not accused of riot, or 
unruly. 

7 For a bishop must be blameless, 
as A the steward of God ; not self- 
willed, not soon angry, * not given 
to wine, no striker, not given to 
filthy lucre; 

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover 
of 3 good men, sober, just, holy, 
temperate; 

9 Holding fast the faithful word 
4 as he hath been taught, that he 
may be able I by sound doctrine 
both to exhort and to convince 
the gainsayers. 

10 For there are many unruly 
and vain talkers and deceivers, 
specially k they of the circumcision: 

11 Whose mouths must be stop- 
ped, who subvert l whole houses, 
teaching things which they ought 
not, for filthy lucre's sake. 

12 One m of themselves, even a 
prophet of their own, said, The 
Cretians are alway liars, evil 
beasts, slow bellies. 

13 This witness is true. Where- 
fore rebuke them sharply, that 
they maybe sound in the faith; 

14 Not giving heed to Jewish 
fables, and commandments n of 
men, that turn from the truth.

CHAPTER IL 

1 Directions given to Titus. 11 What the 
Gospel teacheth. 

BUT speak thou the things which 
become a sound doctrine: 

2 That the aged men be x sober, 
grave, temperate, sound in faith, 
in charitv, in patience. 

3 The "* aged women likewise, 
that they be in behaviour as be- 
cometh 2 holiness, not 3 false ac- 
cusers, not given to much wine, 
teachers of good things; 

4 That they may teach the young 
women to be 4 sober, to love 
their husbands, to love their 
children, 

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at 
home, good, c obedient to their own 
husbands, that the word of God be 
not blasphemed. 

6 Young men likewise exhort to 
be 5 sober-minded. 

7 In d all things showing thyself a 
pattern of good works: in doctrine 
showing uncorruptness, gravity, 
e sincerity, 

8 Sound /speech, that cannot be 
condemned ; 9 that he that is of 
the contrary part may be ashamed, 
having no evil thing to say of you. 

9 Exhort servants to be obedient 
unto their own masters, and to 
please them well in all things; not 

6 answering again; 

10 Not purloining, but showing 
all good fidelity; that they may 
adorn the doctrine of God our 
Saviour in all things. 

11 For the grace of God that 

7 bringeth salvation h hath ap- 
peared to all men, 

12 Teaching us that, * denying 
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we 
should live soberly, righteously, 
and godly, in this present world; 

13 Looking for that blessed > hope, 
and the glorious appearing of the 
great God and our Saviour Jesus 
Christ: 



Various precepts 



TJTUS, m. 



for Titus's direction. 



14 Who gave himself for us, that 
he might redeem us from all ini- 
quity, * and purify unto himself l a 
peculiar people, zealous of good 
works. 

15 These things speak, and ex- 
hort, and rebuke with all author- 
ity. Let no man despise thee. 

CHAPTER ILL 
1 Titus is yet further directed by Paul, 
both concerning the things he should 
teach, and not teach. 

PUT them in mind to be sub- 
ject to principalities and 
powers, to obey magistrates, a to 
be ready to every good work, 

2 To 4 speak evil of no man, to be 
no brawlers, but gentle, showing 
all meekness unto all men. 

3 For we ourselves also were 
sometimes foolish, disobedient, 
deceived, serving divers lusts and 
pleasures, living in malice and 
envy, hateful, and hating one 
another. 

4 But after that the kindness and 
1 love of God our Saviour toward 
man appeared, 

5 Not 6 by works of righteousness 
which we have done, but accord- 
ing to his mercy he saved us, d by 
the washing of regeneration, and 
renewing of the Holy Ghost; 

6 "Which * he shed on us 2 abun- 
dantly through Jesus Christ our 
Saviour; 

7 That, being justified by his 
grace, we should be made heirs

8 This is a faithful saying, and 
these things I will that thou affirm 
constantly, that they which have 
believed in God might be careful 
to maintain good works. These 
things are good and profitable 
unto men. 

9 But /avoid foolish questions, 
and genealogies, and contentions, 
and strivings about the law; for 
they are unprofitable and vain. 

10 A man that is an heretic ° after 
the first and second h admonition 
reject;

is subverted, and sinneth, * being 
condemned of himself. 

12 When I shall send Artemas 
unto thee, or ->Tychicus, be dili- 
gent to come unto me to Nico-

to winter. 

13 Bring Zenas the lawyer * and 
Apollos on their journey diligently, 
that nothing be wanting unto 
them. 

14 And let ours also leam to 
3 maintain good works for neces- 
sary uses, that they be l not un- 
fruitful. 

15 All that are with me salute 
thee. Greet them that love us in 
the faith. Grace be with you ah. 
Amen.

CHAPTER L 

1 The essential digniti/ of the Son, by whom 
God hath revealed himself in these last 
days, 

f* OD, who at sundry times and 
*J in a divers manners spake in 
time past unto the fathers by the 
prophets, 

2 Hath l in these last days spoken 
unto c us by his Son, d whom he 
hath appointed heir of all things, 
by c whom also he made the 
worlds; 

3 Who /being the brightness of 
his glory, and the express image of 
his person, ^and upholding all 
things by the word of his power, 
when he had by himself purged 
our sins, h sat down on the right 
hand of the Majesty on high; 

4 Being made so much better 
than the angels, as * he hath by 
inheritance obtained a more excel- 
lent name than they. 

5 For unto which of the angels 
said he at any time, ?' Thou art my 
Son, this day have I begotten thee? 
And again, *I will be to him a 
Father, and he shall be to me a 
Son? 

m 6 x And again, when he bringeth 
in Hhe first-begotten into the 
world, he saith, And m let all the 
angels of God worship him.

at any time we should x let them 
slip. 

2 For if the word spoken by- 
angels was stedfast, and every 
transgression and disobedience 
received a just recompence of 
reward; 

3 How shall we escape, if we 
neglect so great "salvation; which 
at the first began to be spoken by 
the Lord, and was confirmed unto 
us by them that heard him; 

4 God also bearing them witness, 
both with signs and wonders, and 
with divers miracles, and 2 gifts of 
the Holy Ghost, according to his 
own will? 

5 For unto the angels hath he not 
put in subjection the world to 
come, whereof we speak. 

6 But one in a certain place tes- 
tified, saying, h What is man, that 
thou art mindful of him? or the 
son of man, that thou visitest 
him? 

7 Thou madest 3 him a little lower 
than the angels: thou crownedst 
him with glory and honour, and 
didst set him over the works of 
thy hands: 

8 Thou hast put all things in 
subjection under his feet. For in 
that he put all in subjection under 
him, he left nothing that is not put 
under him. But now we see not 
yet all things put under him: 

9 But we see Jesus, who was 
made a little lower than the 
angels 4 for the suffering of death, 
crowned with glory and honour; 
that he by the grace of God should 
taste death for every man. 

10 For ° it became him, for whom 
are all things, and by whom are all 
things, in bringing many sons unto 
glory, to make the Captain of 
their salvation d perfect through 
sufferings. 

11 For both he that sanctifieth 
and they who are sanctified are all 
of one: for which cause 6 he is not 
ashamed to call them brethren, 

12 Saying, /I will declare thy 
name unto my brethren; in the 
midst of the church will I sing 
praise unto thee. 

13 And again, 9 I will put my 
trust in him. And again, h Behold 
I and the children which God hath 
given me. 

14 Forasmuch then as the chil- 
dren are partakers of flesh and 
blood, *he also himself likewise 
took part of the same, ^"that 
through death he might destroy

WHEBEFOEE, holy brethren, 
partakers of the heavenly 
calling, consider the "Apostle and 
High Priest of our profession, Christ 
Jesus; 

2 Who was faithful to him that 

1 appointed him, as also b Moses 
was faithful in all his house. 

3 For this man was counted 
worthy of more glory than Moses, 
inasmuch as c he who hath builded 
the house hath more honour than 
the house. 

4 For every house is builded by 
some man; but d he that built all 
things is God. 

5 And Moses verily was faithful 
in all his house, as a servant, 6 for 
a testimony of those things which 
were to be spoken after; 

6 But Christ as a Son over his 
own house; whose f house are we, 
if g we hold fast the confidence 
and the rejoicing of the hope firm 
unto the end. 

7 Wherefore (as ft the Holy Ghost 
saith, * To-day if ye will hear his 
voice, 

8 Harden not your hearts, as in 
the provocation, in the day of 
temptation in the wilderness; 

9 When your fathers tempted me, 
proved me, and saw my works 
forty years. 

10 Wherefore I was grieved with 
that generation, and said, They 
do alway err in their heart; and 
they have not known my ways. 

11 So I sware in my wrath, 

2 They shall not enter into, my 
rest.)

unbelief, in departing from the

13 But exhort one another daily, 
while it is called To-day; lest any 
of you be hardened through the 
deceitfulness of sin. 

14 For we are made partakers of 
Christ, if we hold the beginning 
of our confidence stedfast unto the 
end; 

15 While it is said, To-day if ye 
will hear his voice, harden not 
your hearts, as in the provoca- 
tion 

16 For 3 some, when they had 
heard, did provoke : howbeit not 
all that came out of Egypt by 
Moses, 

17 But with whom was he grieved 
forty years? was it not with them 
that had sinned, * whose carcases 
fell in the wilderness? 

18 And to whom sware he that 
they should not enter into his 
rest, but to them that believed 
not? 

19 So we see that they could not 
enter in because of unbelief. 

CHAPTEE rV*. 

The Christians rest to be obtained by faith. 

LET us therefore fear, lest, a 
promise being left us of enter- 
ing into his rest, any of you should 
seem to come short of it. 

2 For unto us was the Gospel 
preached, as well as unto them : 
but * the word preached did not 
profit them, 2 not being mixed 
with faith in them that heard it. 

3 For we which have believed do 
enter into rest, as he said, a As I 
have sworn in my wrath, If tbey 
shall enter into my rest: although 
the works were finished from the 
foundation of the world. 

4 For he spake in a certain place 
of the seventh day on this wise, 
And h God did rest the seventh 

i day from all his works. 

5 And in this place again, If they 
j shall enter into my rest.

! that some must enter therein,

9 There remaineth therefore a 
6 rest to the people of God. 

10 For he that is entered into his 
rest, he also hath ceased from his 
own works, as God did from his.) 

11 Let us labour therefore to 
enter into that rest, lest any man 
fall after the same example of 
6 unbelief 

12 For the word of God is * quick, 
and powerful, and sharper than 
any / two-edged^ sword, piercing 
even to the dividing asunder of 
soul and spirit, and of the joints 
and marrow, and is a 9 discerner 
of the thoughts and intents of the 
heart. 

13 Neither is there any creature 
that is not manifest in his sight: 
but all things are naked and 
opened unto the eyes of. him with 
whom we have to do. 

14 Seeing then that we have a 
great High Priest, that is passed 
into the heavens, Jesus the Son of 
God, let us hold fast our profession. 

15 For h we have not an high 
priest which cannot be touched 
with the feeling of our infirmities; 
but * was in all points tempted 
like as we are, J yet without sin. 

16 Let us therefore come boldly 
unto the throne of grace, that we 
may obtain mercy, and find grace 
to help in time of need. 

CHAPTEE V. 

Of the priesthood of Christ. 

FOE every high priest taken 
from among men is ordained 
for men in things pertaining to 
God, a that he may offer both gifts 
and sacrifices for sins: 

2 Who x can have compassion on 
the ignorant, and on them that 
are out of the way; for that he 
himself also is compassed with 
infirmity. 

3 And b by reason hereof he 
ought, as for the people, so also 
for himself, to offer for sins. • 

4 And c no man taketh this hon- 
our unto himself, but he that is 
called of God, as was d Aaron. 

5 So * also Christ glorified not 
himself to be made an High Priest; 
but he that said unto him, / Thou 
art my Son, to-day have I begotten 
thee. 

6 As he saith also in another 
place, 3 Thou art a Priest for ever, 
after the order of Melchisedec. 

7 Who in the days of his flesh, 
when he had h offered up prayers 
and supplications, with * strong 
crying and tears, unto & him that

was able to save him from death, 
and was heard 2 in that he feared: 

8 Though he were a Son, yet 
learned he obedience *by the 
things which he suffered; 

9 And being made perfect, he 
became the author of eternal sal- 
vation unto all them that obey 
him.; 

10 Called of God an High Priest 
after ' the order of Melchisedec. 

11 Of whom we have many things 
to say, and hard to be uttered, 
seeing ye are dull of hearing. 

12 For when for the time ye ought 
to be teachers, ye have need that 
one teach you again which be the 
first principles of the oracles of 
God- and are become such as have 
need of milk, and not of strong 
meat. 

13 For every one that useth milk 
3 is unskilful in the word of right- 
eousness; for he is m a babe. 

14 But strong meat belongeth to 
them that are 4 of full age, even 
those who by reason 5 of use have 
their senses exercised" to discern 
both good and evil. 

CHAPTER VI. 

Exhortation to be stedfast in the faith. 

THEKEFOBE leaving ? the prin- 
ciples of the doctrine of Christ, 
let us go on unto perfection; not 
laying again the foundation of 
repentance from dead works, and 
of faith toward God, 

2 Of a the doctrine of baptisms, 
and h of laying on of hands, c and 
of resurrection of the dead, d and 
of eternal judgment. 

3 And this will we do, e if God 
permit. 

4 For AY is impossible for g those 
who were once enlightened, and 
have tasted of Hhe heavenly gift, 
and were made partakers of the 
Holy Ghost, 

5 And have tasted the good word 
of God. and the powers of the world 
to come, 

6 If they shall fall away, to renew 
them again unto repentance; * see- 
ing they crucify to themselves 
the Son of God afresh, and put him 
to an open shame. 

7 For the earth, which drinketh 
in the rain that cometh oft upon it, 
and bringeth forth herbs meet for 
them 2 by whom it is dressed, 
receiveth blessing from God: 

8 But that which beareth thorns 
and briers is rejected, and is nigh 
unto cursing; whose end is to be 
burned.

9 But, beloved, we are persuaded 
better things of you, and things 
that accompany salvation, though 
we thus speak 

10 For 3 God is not unrighteous 
to forget your work and labour of 
love, which ye have showed toward 
his name, in that ye have min- 
istered to the saints, and do 
minister. 

11 And we desire that every one 
of you do show the same diligence 
to * the full assurance of hope unto 
the end: 

12 That ye be not slothful, but 
followers of them who through 
faith and patience inherit 'the 
promises. 

13 For when God made promise 
to Abraham, because he could 
swear by no greater, he m sware by 
himself, 

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will 
bless thee, and multiplying I will 
multiply thee. 

15 And so, after he had patiently 
endured, he obtained the promise. 

16 For men verily swear by the 
greater; and n an oath for con- 
firmation is to them an end of all 
strife. 

17 Wherein God, willing more 
abundantly to show unto °the 
heirs of promise p the immutability 
of his counsel, 3 confirmed it by an 
oath: 

18 That by two immutable things, 
in which it was impossible for God 
to he, we might have a strong con- 
solation, who have fled for refuge 
to lay hold upon the hope 2 set 
before us: 

19 Which r hqpe we have as an 
anchor of the soul, both sure and 
stedfast, "and which entereth into 
that within the veil; 

20 Whither £ the forerunner is for 
us entered, even Jesus, made an 
High Priest for ever, after the 
order of Melchisedec. 

CHAPTER VIL 

Christ, a priest after the order of Melchi- 
sedec. 

FOR this ° Melchisedec, king of 
Salem, priest of the most high 
God, who met Abraham returning 
from the slaughter of the kings, 
and blessed him; 

2 To whom also Abraham gave a 
tenth part of all; first being by in- 
terpretation King of righteousness, 
and after that also King of Salem, 
which is, King of peace; 

3 Without father, without mother

and Aaron compared. 



I without descent, having nei- 
ther beginning of days, nor end 
of life; but made like unto the 
Son of God; abideth a priest 
continually. 

4 Now consider how great this 
man was, unto 6 whom even the 
patriarch Abraham gave the tenth 
01 the spoils. 

5 And verily c they that are of 
the sons of Levi, who receive the 
office of the priesthood, have a 
commandment to take tithes of 
the people according to the law, 
that is, of their brethren, though 
they come out of the loins of 
Abraham: 

6 But he whose 2 descent is not 
counted from them received tithes 
of Abraham, and blessed d him 
that had the promises. 

7 And without all contradiction 
the less is blessed of the better. 

8 And here men that die receive 
tithes; but there he receivetk them, 
of e whom it is witnessed that he 
liveth. 

9 And, as I may so say, Levi also, 
who receiveth tithes, payed tithes 
in Abraham. 

10 For he was yet in the loins of 
his father when Melchisedec met 
him. 

II If /therefore perfection were 
by the Levitical priesthood, (for 
under it the people received the 
law,) what further need was there 
that another priest should rise 
after the order of Melchisedec, and 
not be called after the order of 
Aaron? 

12 For the priesthood being 
changed, there is made of neces- 
sity a change also of the law. 

13 For he of whom these things 
are spoken pertaineth to another 
tribe, of which no man gave at- 
tendance at the altar. 

14 For it is evident that ? our 
Lord sprang out of Judah; of which 
tribe Moses spake nothing con- 
cerning priesthood. 

15 And it is yet far more evident: 
for that after the s imili tude of 
Melchisedec there ariseth another 
Priest, 

16 Who is made, not after the 
law of a carnal commandment, 
but after the power of an endless 
life. 

17 For he testifieth, *Thou art a 
Priest for ever, after the order of 
Melchisedec. 

18 For there is verily a disannul- 
ling of the commandment going

before, for *the weakness and 
unprofitableness thereof. 

19 For i. the law made nothing 
perfect; 3 but the bringing in of * a 
better hope did: by the which l we 
draw nigh unto God. 

20 And inasmuch as not without 
an oath he was made Priest; 

21 (For those priests were made 
4 without an oath; but this with an 
oath by him that said unto him, 
The m Lord sware and will not 
repent, Thou art a Priest for ever 
after the order of Melchisedec:) 

22 By so much was Jesus made a 
surety of a better testament. 

23 And they truly were many 
priests, because they were not suf- 
fered to continue by reason of 
death: 

24 But this man, because he n con- 
tinueth ever, hath 5 an unchange- 
able priesthood. 

25 Wherefore he is able also to 
save them to 6 the uttermost that 
come unto God by him, seeing he 
ever liveth ° to make intercession 
for them. 

26 For such an High Priest became 
us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, 
separate from sinners, ^and made 
higher than the heavens; 

27 Who needeth not daily, as 
those high priests, to offer up sacri- 
fice, q first for his own sins, * and 
then for the people's: for this s he 
did once, when he offered up 
himself. 

28 For the law maketh t men 
high priests which have infirmity; 
but the word of the oath, which 
was since the law, maketh the Son, 
who u is 7 consecrated for ever- 
more. 

CHAPTER VHI. 
TJie excellency of Christ's ministry. 

NOW of the things which we 
have spoken this is the sum: 
We have such an High Priest, 
who a is set on the right hand of 
the throne of the Majesty in the 
heavens; 

2 A minister x of the sanctuary, 
and of the b true tabernacle, which 
the Lord pitched, and not man. 

3 For every high priest is ordained 
to offer gifts and sacrifices: where- 
fore it * is of necessity that this 
man have somewhat also to offer. 

4 For if he were on earth he 
should not be a priest, seeing that 
2 there are priests that offer gifts 
according to the law: 

5 Who serve unto the example 



Of the new covenant.

and d shadow of heavenly things, 
as Moses was admonished of God 
when he was ahout to make the 
tabernacle: e for, See, saith he, that 
thou make all things according to 
the pattern showed to thee in the 
mount. 

6 But now / hath he obtained a 
more excellent ministry, by how 
much also he is the Mediator of a 
better 3 covenant, which was estab- 
lished upon better promises. 

7 For if that first covenant had 
been faultless, then should no place 
have been sought for the second. 

8 For, finding fault with them, he 
saith, 9 Behold, the days come, 
saith the Lord, when I will make 
a new covenant with the house of 
Israel and with the house of 
Judah: 

9 Not according to the covenant 
that I made with their fathers in 
the day when I took them by the 
hand to lead them out of the land 
of Egypt ; because they continued 
not in my covenant, and I regarded 
them not, saith the Lord. 

10 For this is the covenant that I 
will make with the house of Israel 
after those days, saith the Lord; I 
will 4 put my laws into their mind, 
and write them 6 in their hearts; 
and A I will be to them a God, and 
they shall be to me a people: 

11 And * they shall not teach 
every man his neighbour, and 
every man his brother, saying, 
Know the Lord: for all shall know 
me, from the least to the greatest. 

12 For I will be merciful to their 
unrighteousness, and their sins 
and their iniquities will I remem- 
ber no more. 

13 In that he saith, A new cove- 
nant, he hath made the first old. 
Now that which decay eth and 
waxeth old is ready to vanish 
away. 

CHAPTER IX. 

I By the imperfection of the legal sacrifices, 

II he slcoweth the efficacy of Christ's blood. 

THEN verily the first covenant 
had also x ordinances of divine 
service, and ° a worldly sanctuary. 

2 For h there was a tabernacle 
made; the first, Wherein was the 
candlestick, and the c table, and the 
showbread; which is called 2 the 
Sanctuary. 

3 And d after the second veil, the

laid round about with gold, 
wherein was e the golden pot that 
had manna, /and Aaron's rod that 
budded, and 'the tables of the 
covenant; 

5 And A over it the cherubim of 
glory shadowing the mercyseat; of 
which we cannot now speak par- 
ticularly. 

6 Now when these things were 
thus ordained, * the priests went 
always into the first tabernacle, 
accomplishing the service of God: 

7 But into the second went the 
high priest alone ^'once every year, 
not without blood, which he offered 
for himself, and for the errors of 
the people: 

8 The *Holy Ghost this signify- 
ing, that the l way into the holiest 
of all was not yet made manifest, 
while as the first tabernacle was 
yet standing: 

9 Which was a figure for the time 
then present, in which were offered 
both gifts and sacrifices, m that 
could not make him that did the 
service perfect, as pertaining to the 
conscience; 

1 Which stood only in n meats and 
drinks, and ° divers washings, y and 
carnal 3 ordinances, imposed on 
them until the time of reformation. 

11 But Christ being come an 
High Priest of q good things to 
come, r by a greater and more 
perfect tabernacle, not made with 
hands, that is to say, not of this 
building; 

12 Neither by the blood of goats 
and calves, but s by his own blood 
he entered in * once into the holy 
place, having u obtained eternal 
redemption for us. 

13 For "if the blood of buUs and 
of goats, and w the ashes of an heifer 
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth 
to the purifying of the flesh; 

14 How much more * shall the 
blood of Christ, v who through the 
eternal Spirit offered * himself 
without 4 spot to God, purge a your 
conscience from dead b works c to 
serve the living God! 

15 And d for this cause he is the 
Mediator of the new testament, 
that c by means of death, for the 
redemption of the transgressions 
thai were under the first testament, 
they /which are called might re- 
ceive the promise of eternal in- 
heritance. 

16 For where a testament is, there 
must also of necessity 6 be the 
death of the testator. 



Of the law-sacrifices, 



HEBEEWS, X. 



and the sacrifice of Christ. 



17 For 3 a testament is of force 
after men are dead: otherwise it is 
of no strength at all while the tes- 
tator liveth. 

»18 Whereupon n neither the first 
testament was 6 dedicated without 
blood. 

19 For when Moses had spoken 
every precept to all the people 
according to the law, he took the 
blood of calves and of goats, * with 
water, and 7 scarlet wool, and 
hyssop, and sprinkled both the 
book, and all the people, 

20 Saying, / This is the blood of 
the testament which God hath 
enjoined unto you. 

21 Moreover k he sprinkled like- 
wise with blood both the • taber- 
nacle and all the vessels of the 
ministry. 

22 And almost all things are by 
the law purged with blood; and 
without-* shedding of blood is no 
remission. 

23 It was therefore necessary that 
the m patterns of things in the 
heavens. should be purified with 
these; but the heavenly things 
themselves with better sacrifices 
than these. 

24 For n Christ is not entered 
into the holy places made with 
hands, which are the figures of the 
true; but into heaven itself, now 
to * appear in the presence of God 
for us: 

25 Nor yet that he should offer 
bimself often, as the high priest 
entereth into the holy place every 
year with blood of others; 

26 For then must he often have 
suffered since the foundation of 
the world: but now once p in the 
end of the world hath he appeared 
to put away sin by the sacrifice of 
himself 

27 And q as it is appointed unto 
men once to die, but after this the 
judgment; 

28 So r Christ was once * offered 
to bear the sins of many: and unto 
them that look for him shall he 
appear * the second time without 
sin unto salvation.

2 For then x would they not have 
ceased to be offered? because that 
the worshippers once purgedshould 
have had no more conscience of 
sins. 

3 But l in those sacrifices there is a 
remembrance again made of sins 
every year. 

4 For c it is not possible that the 
blood of bulls and of goats should 
take away sins. 

5 Wherefore, when he cometh in- 
to the world, he saith, d Sacrifice 
and offering thou wouldest not, 
but a body 2 hast thou prepared 
me: 

6 In burnt offerings and sacri- 
fices for sin thou hast had no 
pleasure. 

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the 
volume of the book it is written of 
me,) to do thy will, O God. 

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice 
and offering and burnt offerings 
and offering for sin thou wouldest 
not, neither hadst pleasure therein; 
which are offered by the law ; 

9 Then said he, Lo, 1 come to do 
thy will, O God. He taketh away 
the first, that he may establish the 
second. 

10 By 'the which will we are 
sanctified through the offering of 
the body of Jesus Christ once for 
all. 

11 And every priest standeth 
•''daily ministering and offering 
oftentimes the same sacrifices, 
which can never take away sins : 

12 But ff this man, after he had 
offered one sacrifice for sins for 
ever, sat down on the right hand 
of God; 

13 From henceforth expecting 
till h his enemies be made his foot 
stool. 

14 For by one offering he hath 
perfected for ever them that are 
sanctified. 

15 Whereof { the Holy Ghost also 
is a witness to us : for after that he 
had said before, 

16 This i is the covenant that I 
will make with them after those 
days, saith the Lord, I will put my 
laws into their hearts, and in their 
minds will I write them ; 

17 3 And their sins and iniquities 
will I remember no more. 

18 Now where remission of these 
is, there is no more offering for 
sin.

23 Let us hold fast the profession

24 And let us consider one an-

good works: 

25 Not p forsaking the assembling 
of ourselves together, as the man- 
ner of some is ; but exhorting one 
another: and 9 so much the more 
as ye see r the day approaching. 

26 For * if we sin wilfully ' after 
that we have received the know- 
ledge of the truth, there remaineth 
no more sacrifice for sins, 

27 But a certain fearful looking 
for of judgment and u fiery indig- 
nation, which shall devour the ad- 
versaries. 

28 He that despised Moses' law 
died without mercy under two or 
three witnesses: 

29 Of how much sorer punish- 
ment, suppose ye, shall he be 
thought worthy, who hath trodden 
under foot the Son of God, and 
hath " counted the blood of the 
covenant, wherewith he was sanc- 
tified, an unholy thing, w and hath 
done despite unto the Spirit of 
grace? 

30 For we know him that hath 
said, Vengeance x belongeth unto 
me, I will recompense, saith the 
Lord. And again, y The Lord shall

the soul. 

CHAPTER XL 
The nature and fruits of faith. 

NOW faith is the i substance of 
things hoped for, the evi- 
dence a of things not seen. 

2 For by it the elders obtained a 
good report. 

3 Through faith we understand 
that the worlds b were framed by 
the word of God ; so that things 
which are seen were not made of 
things which do appear. 

4 By faith c Abel offered unto God 
a more excellent sacrifice than 
Cain, by which he obtained wit- 
ness that he was righteous, God 
testifying of his gifts : and by it he, 
being dead, 2 yet speaketh. 

5 By faith d Enoch was translated 
that he should not see death; and 
was not found, because God had 
translated him: for before his 
translation he had this testimony, 
that he pleased God. 

6 But 6 without faith it is impossi- 
ble to please him: for he that 
cometh to God must believe that 
he is, and that he is a rewarder of 
them that diligently seek him. 

7 By faith /Noah, being warned 
of God of things not seen as yet, 
'moved with fear, prepared an ark 
to the saving of his house; by the 
which he condemned the world, 
and became heir of 9 the righteous- 
ness which is by faith. 

8 By faith Abraham, when he 
was called to go out into a place 
which he should after receive for an 
inheritance, obeyed; and he went 
out^not knowing whither herwent. 

9 By faith he sojourned in the 
land of promise, as in a strange 
country, dwelling in h tabernacles 
with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs 
with him of the same promise: 



Examples of the nature 



HEBREWS, XI. 



and power of faith. 



10 For he looked for a city which 
hath foundations, * whose builder 
and maker is God. 

11 Through faith also i Sara her- 
self received strength to conceive 
seed, and k was delivered of a child 
when she was past age, because 
she judged him faithful who had 
promised. 

12 Therefore sprang there even 
of one, and J him as good as dead, 
so many as the stars of the sky in 
multitude, and as the sand which 
is by the sea-shore innumerable. 

13 These all died Mn faith, not 
having received the promises, 
but having "seen them afar off, 
and were persuaded of them, and 
embraced them, and "confessed 
that they were strangers and pil- 
grims on the earth. 

14 For they that say such things 
declare ° plainly that they seek a 
country. 

15 And truly, if they had been 
mindful of that country from whence 
they came out, they might have 
had opportunity to have returned: 

16 But now they desire a better 
country, that is, an heavenly: 
wherefore God is not ashamed p to 
be called their God; for 2 he hath 
prepared for them a city. 

17 By faith r Abraham, when he 
was tried, offered up Isaac: and he 
that had received the promises 
offered s up his only-begotten son, 

18 5 Of whom it was said, * That 
in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 

19 Accounting that God was able 
to raise him up, even from the 
dead; from whence also he received 
him in a figure. 

20 By faith M Isaac blessed Jacob 
and Esau concerning things to 
come. 

21 By faith Jacob, when he was 
a-dying, blessed " both the sons of 
Joseph; and worshipped, w leaning 
upon the top of his staff. 

22 By faith x Joseph, when he 
died ? 6 made mention of the de- 
parting of the children of Israel; 
and gave commandment concern- 
ing his bones. 

23 By faith y Moses, when he was 
bom, was hid three months of his 
parents, because they saw he was a 
proper child; and they were not 
afraid of the long's z command- 
ment. 

24 By faith Moses, when he was 
come to years, refused to be called 
the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 

25 Choosing ° rather to suffer

affliction with the people of God, 
than to enjoy the pleasures of sin 
for a season; 

26 Esteeming the reproach 7 of 
Christ greater riches than the 
treasures in Egypt: for he had 
respect unto the recompence of the 
reward. 

27 By faith B he forsook Egypt, 
not fearing the wrath of the king: 
for he endured, as seeing him who 
is invisible. 

28 Through faith e he kept the 
passover, and the sprinkling of 
blood, lest he that destroyed the 
first-born should touch them. 

29 By faith they passed through 
the Red sea as by dry land: which 
the Egyptians assaying to do were 
drowned. 

30 By faith d the walls of Jericho 
fell down, after they were com- 
passed about seven days. 

31 By faith 'the harlot Eahab 
perished not with them 8 that be- 
lieved not, when she had received 
the spies with peace. 

32 And what shall I more say? 
for the time would fail me to tell 
of /Gedeon, and of 9 Barak, and 
of h Samson, and of *Jephthae; 
of •?* David also, and k Samuel, and 
of the prophets: 

33 Who through faith subdued 
kingdoms, wrought righteousness, 
obtained promises, stopped Hhe 
mouths of lions, 

34 Quenched '"the violence of 
fire, escaped the "edge of the 
sword, "out of weakness were 
made strong, waxed valiant in 
fight, turned p to flight the armies 
of the aliens. 

35 Women 2 received their dead 
raised to life again: and others 
were r tortured, not accepting de- 
liverance; that they might obtain 
a better resurrection: 

36 And others had trial of 
cruel mockings and scourgings, 
yea, moreover s of bonds and 
imprisonment: 

37 They ' were stoned, they were 
sawn asunder, were tempted, were 
slain with the sword: w they wan- 
dered about in sheep-skins and 
goat-skins; being destitute, afflict- 
ed, tormented; 

38 (Of whom the world was not 
worthy:) they wandered in deserts, 
and in mountains, and " in dens 
and caves of the earth. 

39 And these all, having obtained 
a good report through faith, re- 
ceived not the promise; 



Exhortation to 



HEBREWS, XLL 



faith and godliness. 



40 God having 9 provided some 
better thing for us, that they with- 
out us should not he w made 
perfect. 

CHAPTER XIL 

Exhortation to faith and godliness. 

WHEREFORE, seeing we also 
are compassed about with so 
great a cloud of witnesses, let us 
lay aside every weight, and the 
sin which doth so easily beset us, 
and let us run with patience the 
race that is set before us, 

2 Looking ° unto Jesus the 1 author 
and finisher of our faith; 6 who for 
the joy that was set before him 
endured the cross, despising the 
shame, c and is set down at the 
right hand of the throne of God. 

3 For d consider him that endured 
Buch contradiction of sinners 
against himself, lest e ye be wearied 
and faint in your minds. 

4 Ye have not yet resisted unto 
blood, striving against sin. 

5 And ye have forgotten the ex- 
hortation which speaketh unto 
you as unto children, My /son, 
despise not thou the chastening of 
the Lord, nor faint when thou art 
rebuked of him: 

6 For ff whom the Lord loveth 
he chasteneth, and scourgeth 
every son whom he receiveth. 

7 If ye endure chastening, God 
dealeth with you as with sons; for 
what son is he whom the father 
chasteneth not? 

8 But if ye be without chastise- 
ment, whereof h all are partakers, 
then are ye bastards, and not sons. 

9 Furthermore we have had 
fathers of our flesh which corrected 
us, and we gave them reverence: 
shall we not much rather be in 
subjection unto the Father of 
spirits, and live? 

10 For they verily for a few days 
chastened us 2 after their own 
pleasure; but he for our profit, 
that i we might be partakers of his 
holiness. 

11 Now no chastening for the 
present seemeth to be joyous, but 
grievous: nevertheless afterward 
it yieldeth-?" the peaceable fruit of 
righteousness unto them which are 
exercised thereby. 

12 Wherefore * lift up the hands 
which hang down, and the feeble 
knees; 

13 And make 3 straight paths for 
your feet, lest that which is lame 
be turned out of the way; *but let 
it rather be healed.

14 Follow peace with all men, and

15 Looking diligently lest any 
man 4 fail of the grace of God; 
lest n any root of bitterness spring- 
ing up trouble you, and thereby 
many be denied; 

16 Lest there be any fornicator, 
or profane person, as Esau, ° who 
for one morsel of meat sold his 
birthright. 

17 For ye know how that after- 
ward, when he p would have in- 
herited the blessing, he was re- 
jected: for he found no 5 place of 
repentance, though he sought it 
carefully with tears. 

18 For ye are not come unto ? the 
mount that might be touched, and 
that burned with fire, nor unto 
blackness, and darkness, and 
tempest, 

19 And the sound of a trumpet, 
and the voice of words; which 
voice they that heard entreated 
that r the word should not be 
spoken to them any more: 

20 (For they could not endure 
that which was commanded, And 
if 60 much as a beast touch the 
mountain, it shall be stoned, or 
thrust through with a dart: 

21 And so terrible was the sight, 
that Moses said, I exceedingly fear 
and quake:) 

22 But ye are come 'unto mount 
Sion, and 'unto the city of the 
living God, the heavenly Jeru- 
salem, M and to an innumerable 
company of angels, 

23 To the general assembly and 
church of the first-born, which are 
6 written in heaven, and to God 
the Judge of all, and to the spirits 
of just men v made perfect, 

24 And to Jesus the mediator of 
the new 7 covenant, and to w the 
blood of sprinkling, that speaketh 
better things than x that of Abel. 

25 See that ye refuse not him 
that speaketh: for if they escaped 
not who refused him y that spake 
on earth, much more shall not we 
escape if we turn away from him 
that speaketh from heaven: 

26 Whose * voice then shook the 
earth; but now he hath promised, 
saying, a Yet once more I shake 
not the earth only, but also 
heaven. 

27 And this word, Yet once more, 
signifieth Hhe removing of those 
things that 8 are shaken, as of 
things that are made, that those

things which cannot be shaken

28 Wherefore, we receiving a 
kingdom which cannot he moved, 
9 let us have grace, whereby we 
may serve God acceptably with 
reverence and godly fear: 

29 For c our God is a consuming 
fire. 

CHAPTER Xin. 
Exhortations to various duties. 

LET brotherly love continue. 
2 Be a not forgetful to enter- 
tain strangers: for thereby 6 some 
have entertained angels unawares. 

3 Eemember c them that are in 
bonds, as bound with them; and 
them which suffer adversity, as 
being yourselves also in the body. 

4 Marriage is honourable in all, 
and the bed undefiled: but whore- 
mongers and adulterers God will 
judge. 

5 Let your conversation be with- 
out covetousness; and be content 
with such things as ye have: for he 
hath said, d I will never leave thee, 
nor forsake thee. 

6 So that we may boldly say, The 
Lord e is my helper, and I will not 
fear what man shall do unto me. 

7 Remember them which * have 
the rule over you, who have spoken 
unto you the word of God; whose 
faith follow, considering the end 
of their conversation; 

8 Jesus Christ /the same yester- 
day, and to-day, and for ever. 

9 Be not carried about with divers 
and strange doctrines. For it is a 
good thing that the heart be estab- 
lished with grace; not with meats, 
which have not profited them 
that have been occupied therein. 

10 We 9 have an altar, whereof 
they have no right to eat which

13 Let us go forth therefore unto 
him without the camp, bearing

14 For * here have we no continu- 
ing city, but we seek one to come.

the sacrifice of praise to God con- 
tinually, that is, the fruit of our 
lips 2 giving thanks to his name. 

16 But to do good and to com- 
municate forget not; for with such 
sacrifices God is well pleased. 

17 Obey them that 3 have the 
rule over you, and submit your- 
selves: m for they watch for your 
souls, as they that must give 
account, that they may do it with 
joy, and not with grief: for that is 
unprofitable for you. 

18 Pray for us: for we trust we 
have a good conscience, in all 
things willing to live honestly. 

19 But I beseech you the rather 
to do this, that I may be restored 
to you the sooner. 

20 Now the God of peace, that 
brought again from the dead our 
Lord Jesus, n that great Shepherd 
of the sheep, ° through the blood 
of the everlasting 4 covenant, 

21 Make you perfect in every 
good work to do his will, 6 work- 
ing in you that which is well- 
pleasing in his sight, through 
Jesus Christ; ^to whom be glory 
for ever and ever. Amen. 

22 And I beseech you, brethren, 
suffer the word of exhortation : for 
I have written a letter unto you 
in few words. 

23 Know ye that q our brother 
Timothy is r set at liberty ; with 
whom, if he come shortly, I will 
see you. 

24 Salute all them that have the 
rule over you, and all the saints. 
They of Italy salute you. 

25 Grace fcwith you all. Amen.

when ye fall into divers tempta- 
tions; 

3 Knowing this, that the trying 
of your faith worketh patience. 

4 But let patience have her per- 
fect work, that ye may be perfect 
and entire, wanting nothing. 



To be patient in affliction. 

5 If d any of you lack wisdom, 
let e him ask of God, that giveth 
to all men liberally, and upbraid- 
eth not; and ^it shall be given 
him. 

6 But 9 let him ask in faith, no- 
thing wavering. For he that wav- 
ereth is like a wave of the sea 
driven with the wind and tossed. 

7 For let not that man think that 
he shall receive any thing of the 
Lord. 

8 A double-minded man is un- 
stable in all his ways. 

9 Let the brother of low degree 

1 rejoice in that he is exalted ; 

10 But the rich, in that he is made 
low: because as the flower of the 
grass he shall pass away. 

11 For the sun is no sooner risen 
with a burning heat, but it wither- 
eth the grass, and the flower there- 
of falleth, and the grace of the 
fashion of it perisheth: so also 
shall the rich man fade away in 
his ways. 

12 Blessed n is the man that en- 
dureth temptation : for when he is 
tried, he shall receive the i crown 
of life, which the Lord hath pro- 
mised to them that love him. 

13 Let no man say when he is 
tempted, I am tempted of God : 
for God cannot be tempted with 

2 evil, neither tempteth he any 
man ; 

14 But every man is tempted, 
when he is drawn away of his own 
lust, and enticed. 

15 Then, when lust hath conceiv- 
ed, it bringeth forth sin ; and sin, 
when it is finished, bringeth forth 
death. 

16 Do not err, my beloved breth- 
ren. 

17 Every good gift and every per- 
fect gift is from above, and com- 
eth down from the Father of lights, 
with 3 whom is no variableness, 
neither shadow of turning. 

18 Of * his own will begat he us 
with the word of truth, that we 
should be a kind of first-fruits l of 
his creatures. 

19 Wherefore, my beloved breth. 
ren, let every man be swift to hear, 
slow to speak, slow to wrath: 

20 For the wrath of man work- 
eth not the righteousness of God. 

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthi- 
ness and superfluity of naughti- 
ness, and receive with meekness 
the ingrafted word, m which is able 
to save your souls.

CHAPTEK H 

1 We must not regard the rich, and despise 
the poor. 10 The guilt of any onebreach 
of the law. 14 Of faith without works. 

MY brethren, have not the faith 
of our Lord Jesus Christ, a the 
Lord of glory, with b respect of per- 
sons. 

2 For if there come unto your 
1 assembly a man with a gold ring, 
in goodly apparel, and there come 
in also a poor man in vile raiment; 

3 And ye have respect to him that 
weareth the gay clothing, and say 
unto him, Sit thou here ^ in a good 
place ; and say to the poor, Stand 
thou there, or sit here under my 
footstool : 

4 Are ye not then partial in your- 
selves, and are become judges of 
evil thoughts ? 

5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, 
Hath c not God chosen the poor of 
this world rich in faith, and heirs 
of 3 the kingdom d which he hath 
promised to them that love him ? 

6 But ye have despised the poor. 
Do not rich men oppress you, and 
draw you before the judgment 
seats? 

7 Do not they blaspheme that 
worthy name by the which ye are 
called? 

8 If ye fulfil the royal law accord- 
ing to the scripture, e Thou shalt 
love thy neighbour as thyself, ye 
do well : 

9 But if ye have respect to per- 
sons, ye commit sin, and are con- 
vinced of the law as transgressors. 



Of faith without works. 



JAMES, ni. 



Of heavenly wisdom. 



10 For whosoever shall keep the 
whole law, and yet offend in one 
point, he f is guilty of all 

11 For 4 he that said, ff Do not 
commit adultery, said also, Do not 
kill. Now if thou commit no 
adultery, yet if thou kill, thou 
art hecome a transgressor of the 
law. 

12 So speak ye, and so do, as they 
that shall he judged by the law of 
liberty. 

13 For he shall have judgment 
without mercy that hath showed 
no mercy; and mercy 5 rejoiceth 
against judgment. 

14 What doth it profit, my breth- 
ren, though a man say he hath 
faith, and have not works? can 
faith save him ? 

15 If a brother or sister be naked, 
and destitute of daily food, 

16 And one of you say unto them, 
Depart in peace, be ye warmed and 
filled; notwithstanding ye give 
them not those things which are 
needful to the body ; what doth it 
profit ? 

17 Even so faith, if it hath not 
works, is dead, being 6 alone. 

18 Yea, a man may say, Thou 
hast faith, and I have works : 
show me thy faith 7 without thy 
works, and I will show thee my 
faith by my works. 

19 Thou believest that there 
is one God ; thou doest well : 
the h devils also believe, and 
tremble. 

20 But wilt thou know, vain 
man, that faith * without works is 
dead? 

21 Was not Abraham our father 
justified by works, •?' when he had 
offered Isaac his son upon the al- 
tar? 

22 8 Seest thou how faith wrought 
with his works, and by works was 
faith made perfect ? 

23 And the scripture was fulfilled 
which saith, k Abraham believed 
God, and it was imputed unto him 
for righteousness: and he was 
called l the Friend of God. 

24 Ye see then how that by works 
a man is justified, and not by faith 
only. 

25 Likewise also, m was not Ea- 
hab the harlot justified by works, 
when she had received the mes- 
sengers, and had sent them out 
another way ? 

26 For as the body without the 
9 spirit is dead, so faith without 
works is dead also.

CHAPTEE IU. 

1 We must not rashly or arrogantly re- 
prove others: 2 The importance of go- 
verning the tongue. 13 Sow true Wis- 
dom will manifest itself, in opposition to 
strife and envy. 

MY brethren, °be not many 
masters, knowing Hhat we 
shall receive the greater 1 condem- 
nation. 

2 For c in many things we offend 
all. d If any man offend not in 
word, e the same is a perfect man, 
and able also to bridle the whole 
body. 

3 Behold, we put bits in the 
horses' mouths, that they may 
obey us ; and we turn about their 
whole body. 

4 Behold also the ships, which 
though they be so great, and are 
driven of fierce winds, yet are they 
turned about with a very small 
helm, whithersoever the governor 
listeth. 

5 Even so the tongue is a little 
member, and boasteth great things. 
Behold how great 2 a matter a lit- 
tle fire kindleth ! 

6 And the tongue is afire, a world 
of iniquity: so is the tongue among 
our members, that /it defileththe 
whole body, and setteth on fire 
the 3 course of nature ; and it is 
set on fire of hell. 

7 For every 4 land of beasts, and 
of birds, and of serpents, and of 
things in the sea, is tamed, and 
hath been tamed of 5 mankind : 

8 But the tongue can no man 
tame ; it is an unruly evil, full of 
deadly poison. 

9 Therewith bless we God, even 
the Father; and therewith curse 
we men, which are ^made after 
the similitude of God. 

10 Out of the same mouth pro- 
ceeded blessing and cursing. My 
brethren, these things ought not 
so to be. 

11 Doth a fountain send forth at 
the same 6 place sweet water and 
bitter ? 

12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, 
bear olive berries ? either a vine, 
figs ? so can no fountain both yield 
salt water and fresh. 

13 Who h is a wise man and en- 
dued with knowledge among you? 
let him show out of a good con- 
versation his works with meekness 
of wisdom. 

14 But if ye have * bitter envying 
and strife in your hearts, glory not, 
and lie not against the truth. 



The cause of contentions. 



JAMES, IV, V. 



Wicked rich men denounced. 



15 This i wisdom descendeth not 
from above, butt's earthly, 7 sensual, 
devilish. 

16 For * where envying and strife 
is, there is 8 confusion and every 
evil work. 

17 But l the wisdom that is from 
above is first pure, then peaceable, 
gentle, and easy to be entreated, 
full of mercy and good fruits, 
9 without partiality, m and without 
hypocrisy. 

18 And n the fruit of righteousness 
is sown in peace of them that make 
peace. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Our evil lusts cause contention: 7 how we 
may overcome them, and gain God's 
favour. 

FROM whence come wars and 
1 fightings among you? come 
they not hence, even of your 2 lusts 
that war in your members? 

2 Ye lust, and have not : ye 3 kill, 
and desire to have, and cannot 
obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye 
have not, because ye a ask not. 

3 Ye h ask, and receive not, c be- 
cause ye ask amiss, that ye may 
consume it upon your 4 lusts. 

4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, 
know ye not that d the friendship 
of the world is enmity with God? 
whosoever * therefore will be a 
friend of the world is the enemy of 
God. 

5 Do ye think that the Scripture 
saith in vain, / The spirit that 
dwelleth in us lusteth Ho envy? 

6 But he giveth more grace. 
Wherefore he saith, s God resist- 
eth the proud, but giveth grace 
unto the humble. 

7 Submit yourselves therefore to 
God. ft Resist the devil and he 
will flee from you. 

8 Draw «'nigh to God, and he will 
draw nigh to you. Cleanse your 
hands, ye sinners; and purify your 
hearts, ye double-minded. 

9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and 
weep : let your laughter be turned 
to mourning, and your joy to heavi- 
ness. 

10 Humble yourselves in the sight 
of the Lord, and he shall lift you 
up. 

11 Speak not evil one of another, 
brethren. He that speaketh evil 
of his brother, and judgeth his 
brother, speaketh evil of the law, 
and judgeth the law: but if thou 
judge the law, thou art not a doer 
of the law, but a judge.

13 Go to now, ye that say, To-day

14 Whereas ye know not what 
shall be on the morrow. For what

that appeareth for a little time, 
and then vanisheth away. 

15 For that ye ought to say, If the 
Lord will, we shall live, and do 
this, or that. 

16 But now ye rejoice in your 
boastings: all such rejoicing is 
evil.

CHAPTER Y. 

1 Wicked rich men warned of God's judg- 
ments. 7 Of patience. 13 We ought to 
pray in adversity. 

GO to now, ye rich men, weep 
and howl for your miseries 
that shall come upon you. 

2 Your riches are corrupted, and 
your garments are moth-eaten. 

3 Your gold and silver is canker- 
ed; and the rust of them shall be a 
witness against you, and shall eat 
your flesh as it were fire. ° Ye 
have heaped treasure together 
for the last days. 

4 Behold, 6 the hire of the labour- 
ers which have reaped down your 
fields, which is of you kept back 
by fraud, crieth; and c the cries of 
them which have reaped are en- 
tered into the ears of the Lord of 
sabaoth. 

5 Ye have lived in pleasure on 
the earth, and been wanton; ye 
have nourished your hearts, as in 
a day of slaughter. 

6 Ye have condemned and killed 
the just; and he doth not resist 
you. 

7 x Be patient therefore, brethren, 
unto the coming of the Lord. Be- 
hold, the husbandman waiteth for 
the precious fruit of the earth, 
and hath long patience for it, until 
he receive d the early and latter 
rain. 

8 Be ye also patient; stablish 
your hearts: for e the coming of the 
Lord draweth nigh. 

9 2 Grudge not one against an- 
other, brethren, lest ye be con- 
demned: behold, the Judge-^stand- 
eth before the door.

11 Behold, we count them happy

1 The apostle's address: 3 he bl«sseth God 
for their hope of a blessed immortality: 
10 he shoiveth that their salvation in 
Christ had been foretold by the prophets 
of old; 13 he exhorteth them to godliness.

Christ, to the strangers "scat- 
tered throughout Pontus, Galatia, 
Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 

2 Elect 6 according to the fore- 
knowledge of God the Father,

Spirit, unto obedience and sprink- 
ling d of the blood of Jesus Christ: 
Grace unto you, and peace, be 
multiplied. 

3 Blessed be the God and Father 
of our Lord Jesus Christ, which 
according to his l abundant mercy 
hath 6 begotten us again unto a 
lively hope, by /the resurrection of 
Jesus Christ from the dead, 

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, 
and undefiled, and that fadeth not 
away, reserved in heaven 2 for you, 

5 Who 9 are kept by the power of

7 That the trial of your faith, 
being much more precious than 
of gold that perisheth, though' * it 
be tried with fire, might be found 
unto praise and honour and glory 
at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

of glory:

ceiving the end of your faith,

13 Wherefore gird up the loins of

3 to the end for the grace that is 
to be brought unto you' at * the 
revelation of Jesus Christ: 

14 As obedient children, not 
fashioning yourselves according to 
the former lusts in your ignorance: 

15 But as he which hath called 
you is holy, so be ye holy in all 
manner of conversation; 

1 6 Because it is written, ' Be ye 
holy; for I am holy. 

17 And if ye call on the Father, 
who without respect of persons 
judgeth according to every man's 
work, pass the time of your M so- 
journing here in fear: 

18 Forasmuch as ye know that 
ye were not redeemed with cor- 
ruptible things, as silver and gold, 
from your vain conversation 
received v by tradition from your 
fathers; 

19 But with the w precious blood 
of Christ, * as of a lamb without 
blemish and without spot: 

20 Who y verily was foreordained 
before the foundation of the world, 
but was manifest * in these last 
times for you, 

21 Who by him do believe in God, 
that raised him up from the dead, 
and a gave him glory; that your 
faith and hope might be in God. 

22 Seeing ye have purified your 
souls in obeying the truth through 
the Spirit unto unfeigned love of 
the brethren, see that ye love one 
another with a pine heart fer- 
vently: 

23 Being * born again, not of cor- 
ruptible seed, but of incorruptible, 
by ° the word of God, which liveth 
and abideth for ever. 

24 4 For all flesh is as grass, and 
all the glory of man as the flower 
of grass. The grass withereth, and 
the flower thereof falleth away: 

25 But d the word of the Lord en- 
dureth for ever. And this is the 
word which by the Gospel is 
preached unto you. 

CHAPTER n. 

1 He inciteth them, against uncharitable- 
ness: 4 he showeth • their privileges 
through Christ the chief corner stoiie: 
11 several duties enjoined. 

WHEREFORE, laying aside all 
malice, and all guile,- and 
hypocrisies, and envies, and all 
evil speakings, 

2 As a new-born babes, desire the 
sincere b milk of the word, that ye 
may grow thereby: 

3 If so be ye have c tasted that 
the Lord is gracious.

God by Jesus Christ. 

6 Wherefore also it is contained 
in the Scripture, h Behold, I lay in 
Sion a chief corner stone, eiect, 
precious: and he that believeth on 
him shall not be confounded. 

7 Unto you therefore which be- 
lieve he is 2 precious : but unto 
them which be disobedient, * the 
stone which the builders disal- 
lowed, the same is made the head 
of the corner, 

8 And i a stone of stumbling, and 
a rock of offence, even to them which 
stumble at the word, being disobe- 
dient; * whereunto also they were 
appointed. 

9 But ye are l a chosen generation, 
a m royal priesthood, n an holy na- 
tion, 3 a peculiar people; that ye 
should show forth the 4 praises of 
him who hath called you out 
of darkness into his marvellous 
light: 

10 Which ° in time past were not 
a people/ but are now the people 
of God: which had not obtained 
mercy, but now have obtained 
mercy. 

11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you 
as strangers and pilgrims, abstain 
from fleshly lusts, which war 
against the soul; 

12 Having your conversation 
honest among the Gentiles; that, 
5 whereas they speak against you 
as evil doers, they may by your 
good works, which they shall be- 
hold, glorify God p in the day of 
visitation. 

13 Submit yourselves to every 
ordinance of man for the Lord's 
sake: whether it be to the king, as 
supreme; 

14 Or unto governors, as unto 
them that are sent- by him for 
the punishment of evil doers, 
and for the praise of them that do 
well. 

15 For so is the will of God, that 
with well doing ye may put to 
silence the ignorance of foolish 
men: 

16 As free, and not r ' using your 
liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, 
but as the servants of God.

brotherhood. Fear God. Honour 
the king. 

18 Servants, be subject to your 
masters with all fear; not only to 
the good and gentle, but also to 
the ffoward. 

19 For this is 8 thankworthy, if a 
man for conscience toward God 
endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 

20 For what glory is it, if, when ye 
be buffeted for your faults, ye shall 
take it patiently? but if, when ye 
do well, and suffer for it, ye take it 
patiently, this is 9 acceptable with 
God. 

21 For even hereunto were ye 
called; because Christ also suffered 

10 for us, leaving us an example, 
that ye should follow his steps: 

22 Who q did no sin, neither was 
guile found in his mouth: 

23 Who, r when he was reviled, 
reviled not again; when he suf- 
fered, he threatened not; but 

11 committed himself to him that 
judgeth righteously: 

■ 24 Who his own self bare our sins 
in his own body 12 on the tree, 
that we, being dead to sins, should 
live unto righteousness: *by whose 
stripes ye were healed. 
25 For * ye were as sheep going 
astray; but are now returned M unto 
the Shepherd and Bishop of your 
souls. 

CHAPTEB III. 

1 He teacheth the duty of wives and hus- 
bands, 8 exhorting all men to unity and 
love, 14 and to suffer boldly for right-

benefits of Christ toward the old world. 

LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in sub- 
jection to your own husbands; 
that, if any obey not the word, 
they a also may without the word 
be 6 won by the conversation of 
the wives; 

2 While they behold your chaste 
conversation coupled with fear. 

3 Whose c adorning let it not be 
that outward adorning of plaiting 
the hair, and of wearing of gold, 
or of putting on of apparel; 

4 But let it be d the hidden man 
of the heart, in that which is not 
corruptible, even the ornament of a 
meek and quiet spirit, which is in 
the sight of God of great price. 

5 For after this manner in the 
old time the holy women also, who 
trusted in God, adorned them- 
selves, being in subjection unto 
their own husbands:

calling him e lord: whose 1 daugh-

ters ye are as long as ye do well, 
and are not afraid with any 
amazement. 

7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell 
with them according to knowledge, 
giving honour unto the wife, as 
unto the weaker vessel, and as 
being heirs together of the grace of 
life; /that your prayers be not 
hindered. 

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, 
having compassion one of another, 
2 love as brethren, be pitiful, be 
courteous: 

9 Not rendering evil for evil, or 
railing for railing: but contrariwise 
blessing; knowing that ye are 
thereunto called, g that ye should 
inherit a blessing. 

10 For A he that will love life, and 
see good days, let him refrain his 
tongue from evil, and his lips that 
they speak no guile: 

11 Let him eschew evil, and do 
good; let him seek peace, and 
ensue it. 

12 For the eyes of the Lord are 
over the righteous, i and his ears are 
open unto their prayers: but the 
face of the Lord is 3 against them 
that do evil. 

. 13 And i who is he that will harm 
you, if ye be followers of that which 
is good? 

14 But fe and if ye suffer for right- 
eousness' sake, happy are ye: and 
be J not afraid of their terror, 
neither be troubled; 

15 But sanctify the Lord God in 
your hearts: and m be ready always 
to give an answer to every man 
that asketh you a reason of the 
hope that is in you with meekness 
and 4 fear; 

16 Having a good conscience; 
that, whereas they speak evil of 
you, as of evil doers, they may be 
ashamed that falsely accuse your 
good conversation in Christ. 

17 For it is better, if the will of 
God be so, that ye "suffer for well 
doing, than for evil doing. 

18 For Christ also hath once suf- 
fered for sins, the just for the un- 
just, that he might bring us to 
God, being put to death * in the 
flesh, but * quickened by the 
Spirit: 

19 By q which also he went and 
preached unto the spirits r in 
prison; 

20 Which sometime were diso- 
bedient, when once the long-suf- 
fering of God waited in the days 
of Noah, while the ark s was

eight souls were saved by water. 

21 The "like figure whereunto 
even baptism doth also now save 
us (not the putting away of the 
filth of the flesh, but the answer 
of a good conscience toward 
God,) by the resurrection of Jesus 
Christ: 

22 Who is gone into heaven, 
and is "on the right hand of God; 
angels and authorities and powers 
being made subject unto him. 

CHAPTER IV. 
1 He exhorteth them to cease' from sin by 
the example of Christ. 7 By the ap- 
proaching end of all things he exhorteth 
them to sobriety, charity, etc. 12 Sundry 
motives of comfort under persecution. 

FORASMUCH then as Christ 
hath suffered for us in the 
flesh, arm yourselves likewise with 
the same mind: for he a that hath 
suffered in the flesh hath ceased 
from sin; 

2 That he no longer should, live 
the rest of his time in the flesh to 
the lusts of men. but to the will of 
God. 

3 For the time past of our life 
may suffice us to have wrought 
the will of the Gentiles when we 
walked in lasciviousness, lusts, 
excess of wine, revellings, banquet- 
ings, and abominable idolatries: 

4 Wherein they think it strange 
that ye run not with them to the 
same excess of riot, speaking evil 
of you: 

5 Who shall give account to him 
that is ready * to judge the quick 
and the dead. 

6 For, for this cause c was the 
Gospel preached also to them that 
are dead, that they might be 
judged according to men in the 
flesh, but live according to God in 
the spirit. 

7 But d the end of all things is at 
hand: be ye therefore sober, and 
watch unto prayer. 

8 And above all things have fer- 
vent charity among yourselves: 
for e charity x shall cover the multi- 
tude of sins. 

9 Use hospitality one to another 
without /grudging. 

10 As 5 ' every man hath received 
the gift, even so minister the same 
one to another, as good stewards 
of the manifold grace of God. 

11 If ft any man speak, let him 
speak as the oracles of God; if any 
man minister, let him do it as of 
the ability which God giveth:

whom be praise and dominion for 
ever and ever. Amen. 

12 Beloved, think it not strange 
concerning the fiery trial which is 
to try you, as though some strange 
thing happened unto you: 

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as* ye 
are partakers of Christ's sufferings; 
that, when his glory shall be re- 
vealed, ye may be glad also with 
exceeding joy. 

14 If l ye be reproached [for the 
name of Christ, happy are ye; for 
the n Spirit of glory and of God 
resteth upon you: on their part he 
is evil spoken of, but on your part 
he is glorified 

15 But let none of you suffer as a 
murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil 
doer, or as a busybody in other 
men's matters. 

16 Yet if any man suffer fas a 
Christian, let him not be ashamed; 
but n let him glorify God on this 
behalf. 

17 For the time is come "that 
judgment must begin at the house 
of God: and p if it first begin at 
us, what 2 shall the end be of 
them that obey not the gospel of 
God? 

18 And r if the righteous scarcely 
be saved, where shall the ungodly 
and the sinner appear? 

19 Wherefore let them that suffer 
according to the will of God * com- 
mit the keeping of their souls to 
him in well doing, as unto a faith- 
ful Creator. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 The elders exhorted to feed the flock of 
Christ; 5 the younger to obey tfte elder; 
8 and all to be sober, watchful, and sted. 
fast in the faith: 9 to resist the cruel ad- 
versary the devil, etc. 

THE elders which are among 
you I exhort, who am °also 
an elder, and 6 a witness of the 
sufferings of Christ, and also c a 
partaker of the glory that shall be 
revealed: 

2 Feed d the flock of God 1 which 
is among you, taking the oversight 
thereof, not by constraint, but will- 
ingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a 
ready mind; 

3 Neither as 2 being lords e over 
God's heritage, but being ensam- 
pies to the flock. 

4 And when /the chief Shepherd 
shall appear, ye shall receive a 
crown of glory that fadeth not 
away. 

5 Likewise, ye younger, submit

all 4 of you~be subject one to an- 
other, and be clothed with

Eroud, and giveth h grace to the 
umble. 

6 Humble yourselves therefore 
under the mighty hand of God, 
that he may exalt you in due 
time: 

7 Casting *all your care upon 
him; for he careth for you. 

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because 
your adversary the devil, as a roar- 
ing lion, walketh about, seeking 
whom he may devour: 

9 Whom resist stedfast in the 
faith, knowing that the same 
afflictions are accomplished in 
your brethren that are in the 
world.

THE SECOND EPISTLE GENERAL OF 



PETEE. 



CHAPTER L 

1 Saluting the Christians, he admonisheth 
them of the gifts and promises of the 
Gospel: 5 he exhorlelh them to add to 
their faith such virtues as would make it 
fruitful: 12 he remembereth them hereof, 
knowing his dissolution to be near. 

SIMON PETER, a servant and 
an apostle of Jesus Christ, to 
them that have obtained "like 
precious faith with us through the 
righteousness 1 of God and our 
Saviour Jesus Christ: 

2 Grace and peace be multiplied 
unto you through the knowledge 
of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 

•3 According as his divine power 
hath given unto us all things that 
pertain unto life and godliness, 
through Hhe knowledge of him 
that c hath called us 2 to glory and 
virtue: 

4 Whereby d are given unto us 
exceeding great and precious pro- 
mises: that by these ye might e be 
partakers of the divine nature, 
having escaped the corruption that 
is in the world through lust. 

5 And besides this, giving all 
diligence, add to your faith virtue; 
and /to virtue knowledge; 

6 And to knowledge temperance; 
and to temperance patience; and 
to patience godliness; 

7 And to godliness brotherly 
kindness; and 9 to brotherly kind- 
ness charity. 

8 For if these things be in you, 
and abound, they make you that ye

fruitful in the knowledge of our 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

9 But he that lacketh these 
things ft is blind, and cannot see 
afar off, and hath forgotten that he 
was * purged from his old sins. 

10 Wherefore the rather, breth- 
ren, give diligence i to make your 
calling and election sure: for if ye 
do these things, ye shall never fall: 

11 For k so an entrance shall be 
ministered unto you abundantly 
into the. everlasting kingdom of 
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

12 Wherefore I will not be negli- 
gent to put you always in remem- 
brance of these things, though ye 
know them, and be established in 
the present truth. 

13 Yea, I think it meet, as long 
as I am in this tabernacle, to 
stir you up by putting you in 
remembrance; 

14 Knowing *that shortly I must 
put off this my tabernacle, even as 
our m Lord Jesus Christ ha^h 
showed me. 

15 Moreover I will endeavour 
that ye may be able after my 
decease to have these things always 
in remembrance. 

16 For we have not followed 
cunningly devised fables, when we 
made known unto you the power 
and coming of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, but were eye-witnesses of 
his majesty.

2 PETEK, H 



False teachers foretold. 



17 For he received from God the 
Father honour and glory, when 
there came such a voice to him 
from the excellent glory, This n is 
my beloved Son, in whom I am 
well pleased. 

18 And this voice which came 
from heaven we heard, when we 
were with him in "the holy 
mount. 

1 9 We have also a more p sure 
word of prophecy; whereunto ye 
do well that ye take heed, as unto 
a light that shineth in a dark 
place, until the day dawn, and the 
q day-star arise in your hearts: 

20 Knowing this first, that r no 
prophecy of the Scripture is of any 
private interpretation. 

21 For * the prophecy came not 
4 in old time by the will of man; 
but ' holy men of God spake as 
they were moved by the Holy 
Ghost. 

CHAPTER H, 

1 He foretelleth them of the appearance of 
false teachers, the impiety of them and 
their followers, and the judgments that 
would overtake them. 7 The godly shall 
be delivered, as Lot was out of Sodom. 
10 The manners of those profane and 
blasphemous seducers described, 

BUT a there were false prophets 
also among the people, even 
as & there shall be false teachers 
among you, who privily shall bring 
in damnable heresies, even deny, 
ing the Lord c that bought them, 
and bring upon themselves swift 
destruction. 

2 And many shall follow their 
1 pernicious ways ; by reason of 
whom the way of truth shall be 
evil spoken of. 

3 And through covetousness shall 
they with feigned words make 
merchandise of you: whose judg- 
ment now of a long time lingereth 
not, and their damnation slum- 
bereth not. 

4 For if God spared not d the an- 
gels e that sinned, but / cast them 
down to hell, and delivered them 
into chains of darkness, to be re- 
served unto judgment; 

5 And spared not the old world, 
but saved Noah, 9 the eighth per- 
son, a preacher of righteousness, 
bringing in the flood upon the 
world of the ungodly; 

6 And h turning the cities of 
Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes 
condemned them with an over- 
throw, making them an ensample 
unto those that after should live 
ungodly;

with the filthy conversation of the 
wicked; 

8 (For that righteous man dwell- 
ing among them, in seeing and 
hearing, vexed his righteous soul 
from day to day with their unlaw- 
ful deeds;) 

9 The * Lord knoweth how to 
deliver the godly out of tempta- 
tions, and to reserve the unjust 
unto the day of judgment to be 
punished: 

10 But chiefly them that walk 
after the flesh in the lust of un- 
cleanness, and despise 2 govern- 
ment. Presumptuous are they, self- 
willed, they are not afraid to speak 
evil oi dignities: 

11 Whereas Mangels, which are 
greater in power and might, bring 
not railing accusation 3 against 
them before the Lord. 

12 But these, k as natural brute 
beasts, made to be taken and de- 
stroyed, speak evil of the things 
that they understand not; and 
shall utterly perish in their own 
corruption; 

13 And l shall receive the reward 
of unrighteousness, as they that 
count it pleasure m to riot in the 
day time. Spots they are and 
blemishes, sporting themselves 
with their own deceivings while 
they n feast with you; 

14 Having eyes full of * adultery, 
and that cannot cease from sin; 
beguiling unstable souls: an heart 
they have exercised with covetous 
practices; cursed children: 

15 Which have forsaken the right 
way, and are gone astray, follow- 
ing the way of ° Balaam the son of 
Bosor, who loved the wages of un- 
righteousness; 

16 But was rebuked for his ini- 
quity: the dumb ass speaking with 
man's voice forbade the madness 
of the prophet. 

17 These are wells without water, 
clouds that are carried with a tem- 
pest; to whom the mist of darkness 
is reserved for ever. 

18 For when they speak great 
swelling words of vanity, they allure 
through the lusts of the flesh, 
through much wantonness, those 
that p were 6 clean escaped from 
them who li ve in error. 

19 While they promise 5 them 
liberty, they themselves are r the 
servants of corruption: for of whom 
a man is overcome, of the same is 
he brought in bondage. 



The certainty of Christ' 6 



2 PETER, HL 



coming to judgment 



20 For * if, after they have '-escaped 
the pollutions of the world through 
the knowledge of the Lord and 
Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again 
entangled therein, and overcome, 
the latter end is worse with them 
than the beginning. 

21 For M it had been better for 
them not to have known the way 
of righteousness, than, after they 
have known it, to turn from the 
holy commandment delivered un- 
to them. 

22 But it is happened unto them 
according to the true proverb, " The 
dog wtumed tohis ownvomitagain; 
and the sow that was washed to her 
wallowing in the mire. 

CHAPTER HI. 

Of Christ's coming to judgment. 

THIS second epistle, beloved, I 
now write unto you; in both 
which " I stir up your pure minds 
by way of remembrance; 

2 That ye may be mindful of the 
words which were spoken before 
by the holy prophets, 6 and of the 
commandment of us the apostles 
of the Lord and Saviour: 

3 Knowing c this first, that there 
shall come in the last days scoffers, 
walking d after their own lusts, 

4 And saying, e Where is the pro- 
mise of his coming? for since the 
fathers fell asleep, all things con- 
tinue as they were from the begin- 
ning of the creation. 

5 For this they willingly are igno- 
rant of, that / by the word of G-od 
the heavens were of old, and the 
earth l standing out of the water 
and in the water: 

6 Whereby ' the world that then 
was, being overflowed with water, 
perished: 

7 But the heavens and the earth 
which are now, by the same word 
are kept in store, reserved unto 
A .fire against the day of judgment 
and perdition of ungodly men. 

8But, beloved, be not ignorant of 
this one thing, that one day is with 
the Lord as a thousand years, 
and * a thousand years as one day.

> 9 The J Lord is not slack concern- 
ing his promise, as some men 
count slackness; but is * long-suf- 
fering to us- ward, not l willing that 
any should perish, but m that all 
should come to repentance. 

10 But n the day f of the Lord will 
come as a thief in the night; in 
the which ° the heavens shall pass 
away with a great noise, and the 
elements shall melt with fervent 
heat, the earth also and the works 
that are therein shall be burnt up. 

11 Seeing then that all these things 
shall be dissolved, what manner of 
persons ought ye to be in all holy 
conversation and godliness, 

12 Looking for and 2 hasting unto 
the coming of the day of God, 
wherein the heavens being on fire 
shall p be dissolved, and the ele- 
ments shall q melt with fervent 
heat? 

13 Nevertheless we, according to 
his promise, look for r new heavens 
and a new earth, wherein dwelleth 
righteousness. 

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing 
that ye look for such things, be 
diligent that ye may be found of 
him in peace, without spot, and 
blameless. 

15 And account that s the long- 
suffering of our Lord is salvation; 
even as our beloved brother Paul 
also, according to the wisdom 
given unto him, hath written unto 
you; 

16 As also in all his epistles, 
speaking ' in them of these things; 
in which are some things hard to 
be understood, which they that are 
unlearned and unstable wrest, as 
they do also the other scriptures, 
unto their own destruction. 

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing 
ye know these things before, M be- 
ware lest ye also, being led away 
with the error of the wicked, fall 
from your own stedfastness: 

18 But grow in grace, and in the 
knowledge of our Lord and Sav- 
iour Jesus Christ. To him be glory 
both now and for ever. Amen.

3 That which we have seen and

us : and ' truly our fellowship is 
with the Father, and with his Son 
Jesus Christ. 

4 And these things write we unto 
you, that your joy may he full 

5 This then is the message which 
we have heard of him, and de- 
clare unto you, that God 5 is light, 
and in him is no darkness at all. 

6 If we say that we have fellow- 
ship with him, and walk in dark- 
ness, we Me, and do not the truth: 

7 But if we walk in the light, as 
he is in the light, we have fellow- 
ship one with another, and the 
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans- 
eth us from all sin. 

8 If h we say that we have no sin, 
we deceive ourselves, and the truth 
is not in us. 

9 If * we confess our sins, he is 
faithful and just to forgive us our 
sins, and to cleanse us from all un-

Christ our advocate and propitiation. 

MY little children, these things 
write I unto you, that ye sin 
not- And if any man sin, a we 
have an advocate with the Father, 
Jesus Christ the righteous: 

2 And b he is the propitiation for 
our sins; and not for ours only, 
but c also for the sins of the whole 
world. 

3 And hereby we do know that 
we know him, if we keep his com- 
mandments. 

4 He that saith, I know him, and 
keepeth not his commandments, is 
a liar, and the truth is not in him. 

5 But whoso d keepeth his word, 
in him verily is the love of God 
perfected: hereby know we that 
we are in him. 

6 He e that saith he abideth in 
him ought himself /also so to walk, 
even as he walked. 

7 Brethren, ° I write no new com- 
mandment unto you, but an old 
commandment which ft ye had 
from the beginning. The old 
commandment is the word which 
ye have heard from the beginning.

I write unto you, which thing is 
true in him and in you: i because

the darkness is past, and the * true 
light now shineth. 

9 He that saith he is in the light; 
and hateth his brother, is in dark- 
ness even until now. 

10 He that loveth his brother 
abideth in the light, and l there is 
none \ occasion of stumblingin him: 

11 But he that hateth his brother 
is in darkness, m and walketh in 
darkness, and knoweth not whi- 
ther he goeth, because that dark- 
ness hath blinded his eyes. 

12 I write unto you, little chil- 
dren, because n your sins are for- 
given you for his name's sake. 

13 I write unto you, fathers, be- 
cause ye have known him ° that is 
from the beginning. I write unto 
you, young men, because ye have 
overcome the wicked one. I write 
unto you, little children, because 
ye have known the Father. 

14 I have written unto you, fa- 
thers, because ye have known him 
that is from the beginning. I have 
written unto you, young men, be- 
cause * ye are strong, and q the 
word of God abideth in you, and 
ye have overcome the wicked one. 

15 Love not the world, neither 
the things that are in the world. 
If r any man love the world, the 
love of the Father is not in hiin. 

16 For all that is in the world, the 
lust of the flesh, * and the lust of the 
eyes, and the pride of life, is not 
of the Father, but is of the world. 

17 And the world passeth away, 
and the lust thereof: but he that do- 
eth the will of God £ abideth for ever. 

18 Little children, "it is the last 
time: and as ye have heard " that 
antichrist shall come, w even now 
are there many antichrists; where- 
by we know that it is the last time. 

19 They went out from us, but 
they were not of us; for x if they 
had been of us, they would no 
doubt have continued with us: but 
they went out, that y they might be 
made manifest that they were not 
all of us. 

20 But *ye have an unction from 
the Holy One, and l ye know all 
things. 

21 I have not written unto you 
because ye know not the truth, 
but because ye know it, and that 
no lie is of the truth.

denieth that Jesus is the Christ? 
he is antichrist, that denieth the 
Father and the Son.

the same hath not the Father: 
ibu£] c he that acknowledgeth the Son 
/inth the Father also. 

24 Let that therefore abide in 
you, which ye d have heard from 
the beginning. If that which ye 
have heard from the beginning 
shall remain in you, 6 ye also shall 
continue in the Son, and in the 
Father. 

25 And /this is the promise that he 
hath promised us, even eternal life. 

26 These things have I written 
unto you concerning them that 
seduce you. 

27 But the anointing which ye 
have received of him abideth in 
you, and ye "'need not that any 
man teach you: but as the same 
anointing 7i teacheth you of all 
things, and is truth, and is no lie, 
and even as it hath taught you, 
ye shall abide in 2 him. 
; 28 And now, little children, abide 
in him; that, when he shall appear, 
we may have confidence, and not 
be ashamed before him at his 
coming. 

29 If *'ye know that he is righte- 
ous, 3 ye know that every one that 
doeth righteousness is born of him. 
CHAPTER HI. 
He declareth the singular love of God. 

BEHOLD what manner of love 
the Father hath bestowed 
upon us, that a we should be called 
the sons of God! therefore the 
world knoweth us not, b because 
it knew him not. 

2 Beloved, now are we the sons 
of God; and c it doth not yet ap- 
pear what we shall be: but we 
know that, when he shall appear, 
we d shall be like him; for 6 we 
shall see him as he is. 

3 And every man that hath this 
hope in him purifieth himself, even 
as he is pure. 

4 Whosoever committeth sin 
transgresseth also the law: for sin 
is the transgression of the law. 

5 And ye know that he was 
manifested to /take away our 
sins; and 9 in him is no sin. 

6 Whosoever abideth in him sin- 
neth not: whosoever sinneth hath 
not seen him, neither known him. 

7 Little children, let no man 
deceive you: he h that doeth right- 
eousness is righteous, even as he is 
righteous. 

8 He ' that committeth sin is of 
the devil; for the devil sinneth 
from the beginning. For this

fested, i that he might destroy the 
works of the devil. 

9 Whosoever *is born of God 
doth not commit sin; for *his seed 
remaineth in him: and he cannot 
sin, because he is born of God. 

10 In this the children of God are 
manifest, and the children of the 
devil: whosoever doeth not right- 
eousness is not of God, neither he 
that loveth not his brother. 

11 For this is the * message that 
ye heard from the beginning, TO that 
we should love one another. 

12 Not as " Cain, who was of that 
wicked one, and slew his brother. 
And wherefore slew he him? be- 
cause his own works were evil, and 
his brother's righteous. 

13 Marvel not, my brethren, if 
the world hate you. 

14 We know that we have passed 
from death unto life because we 
love the brethren. He that loveth 
not his brother abideth in death. 

. 15 Whosoever ° hateth his brother 
is a murderer: and ye know that 
no ^murderer hath eternal life 
abiding in him. 

16 Hereby 2 perceive we the love 
of God, because he laid down his 
life for us: and we ought to lay 
down our lives for the brethren. 

17 But r whoso hath this world's 
good, and seeth his brother have 
need, and shutteth up his bowels 
of compassion from him, how 
dwelleth the love of God in him? 

18 My little children, let us not 
love in word, neither in tongue; 
but in deed, and in truth. 

19 And hereby we know 'that 
we are of the truth, and shall 
2 assure our hearts before him. 

20 For if our heart condemn us, 
God is greater than our heart, and 
knoweth all things. 

21 Beloved, 'if our heart con- 
demn us not, u then have we confi- 
dence toward God. 

22 And " whatsoever we ask, we 
receive of him, because we keep 
his commandments, w and do those 
things that are pleasing in his 
sight. 

23 And this is his commandment, 
That we should believe on the 
name of his Son Jesus Christ, and 
love one another, as he gave us 
commandment. 

24 And he that keepeth his com- 
mandments 2 dwelleth in him, and 
he in him. And y hereby we know 
that he abideth in us, by the Spirit 
which he hath given us. 



Rules for trying the spirits. 



1 JOHN, IV, V. 



God's witness of his Son. 



CHAPTER IV. 

He warneth them to try the spirits. 

BELOVED, "believe not every 
spirit, but try the spirits 
whether they are of God; because 
many 6 false prophets are gone out 
into the world. 

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of 
God: Every c spirit that confesseth 
that Jesus Christ is come in the 
flesh is of God: 

3 And d every spirit that con- 
fesseth not that Jesus Christ is 
come in the flesh is not of God: 
and this is that spirit of antichrist, 
whereof ye have heard that it 
should come; and even now 
already is it in the world. 

4 Ye are of God, little children, 
and have overcome them; because 
greater is he that is in you, than 
he e that is in the world. 

5 They /are of the world: there- 
fore speak they of the world, 9 and 
the world heareth them. 

6 We are of God: h he tbat know- 
eth God heareth us; he that is not 
of God heareth not us. Hereby 
know we < the spirit of truth, and 
the spirit of error. 

7 Beloved, let us love one an- 
other: for love is of God; and every 
one that loveth is born of God, and 
knoweth God. 

8 He that loveth not knoweth 
not God; for i God is love. 

9 In this was manifested the love 
of God toward us, because that 
God sent his only-begotten Son 
into the world, that we might live 
through him. 

10 Herein is love, *not that we 
loved God, but that he loved us, 
and sent his Son to be the propitia- 
tion for our sins. 

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, 
we ought also to love one another. 

12 No 'man hath seen God at 
any time. If we love one another, 
God dwelleth in us, and his love is 
perfected in us. 

13 Hereby m know we that we 
dwell in him, and he in us, because 
he hath given us of his Spirit, 

14 And "we have seen and do 
testify that the "Father sent the 
Son to be the Saviour of the world. 

15 Whosoever p shall confess that 
Jesus is the Son of God, God 
dwelleth in him, and he in God. 

16 And we have known and be- 
lieved the love that God hath to 
us. God is love; and he that 
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, 
and God in him.

17 Herein is l our love made per- 
fect, that we 2 may have boldness 
in the day of judgment: r because 
as he is, so are we in this world. 

18 There is no fear in love; but 
perfect love casteth out fear: be- 
cause fear hath torment. He that 
feareth is not made perfect in love. 

19 We love him, because he first 
loved us. 

20 If a man say, I love God, and 
hateth his brother, he is a bar: for 
he that loveth not his brother 
whom he hath seen, how can he 
love God whom he hath not seen? 

21 And s this commandment have 
we from him, That he who loveth 
God love his brother also. 

CHAPTER V. 

He that loveth God loveth his children. 

WHOSOEVER °believeth that 
Jesus l is the Christ is born 
of God: c and every one that loveth 
him that begat loveth him also 
that is begotten of him. 

2 By this we know that we love 
the children of God, when we love 
God, and keep his commandments. 

3 For d this is the love of God, 
that we keep his commandments: 
and e his commandments are not 
grievous. 

4 For £ whatsoever is bom of God 
overcometh the world: and this is 
the victory that overcometh the 
world, even our faith. 

5 Who is he that overcometh the 
world, but 9 he that believeth that 
Jesus is the Son of God? 

6 This is he that came h by water 
and blood, even Jesus Christ ; not by 
water only, but by water and blood. 
And * it is the Spirit that beareth 
witness, because the Spirit is truth. 

7 For there * are three that bear 
record in heaven, the Father, k the 
Word, and the Holy Ghost: l and 
these three are one. 

8 And there are three that bear 
witness in earth, the spirit, and the 
water, and the blood: and these 
three agree in one. 

9 K we receive m the witness of 
men, the witness of God is greater: 
for n this is the witness of God 
which he hath testified of his Son. 

10 He that believeth on the Son 
of God hath ° the witness in him- 
self : he that believeth not God 
hath 1 ' made him a liar; because he 
believeth not the record that God 
gave of his Son. 

11 And this is the record, that 
God hath given to us eternal life, 
and q this life is in his Son. 



The apostle exhorts to perseverance 2 JOHN. 



in Christian faith and love. 



12 He r that hath the Sou hath 
life; and he that hath not the Son 
of God hath not life. 

13 These s things have I written 
unto you that believe on the name 
of the Son of God, * that ye may 
know that ye have eternal life, 
and that ye may believe on the 
name of the Son of God. 

14 And this is the confidence 
that we have l in him, that, if we 
ask any thing according to his 
will, he heareth us. 

15 And if we know that he hear 
us, whatsoever we ask, we know 
that we have the petitions that we 
desired of him. 

16 If any man see his brother sin a 
sin which is not unto death, he shall 
ask, and he M shall give him life 
for them that sin not unto death.

love in the truth; and not I only, 
but also all they that have known 
the ° truth; 

2 For the truth's sake, which 
dwelleth in us, and shall be with 
us for ever. 

3 Grace * be with you, mercy, and 
peace, from God the Father, and 
from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son 
of the Father, in truth and iove. 

4 I rejoiced greatly that I found 
of thy children d walking in truth, 
as we have received a command- 
ment from the Father. 

5 And now I beseech thee, lady, 
not 6 as though I wrote a new com- 
mandment unto thee, but that 
which we hadfrom the beginning, 
that /we love one another. 

6 And 9 this is love, that we walk 
after his commandments. This is 
the commandment, That, ft asye 
have heard from the beginning, ye 
should walk in it.

THE GENERAL EPISTLE OP 



JUDE 



Jude exhorteth Christians to constancy. 

JLTDE, the servant of Jesus Christ, 
and a , brother of James, to 
them that are sanctified by God 
the Father, and preserved in 
Jesus Christ, c and called: 

2 Mercy unto you, and peace, 
and love, be multiplied. 

3 Beloved, when I gave all dili- 
gence to write unto you d of the 
common salvation, it was needful 
for me to write unto you, and ex- 
hort you that ye should earnestly 
contend for the faith which was 
once delivered unto the saints. 

4 For there are certain men crept 
in unawares, e who were before of 
old ordained to this condemna- 
tion, ungodly men, turning { the 
grace of our God into lascivious- 
ness, and 9 denying the only Lord 
God, and our Lord Jesus Christ 

5 I will therefore put you in re- 
membrance, though ye once knew 
this, how that the Lord, having 
saved the people out of the land 
of Egypt, afterward h destroyed 
them that believed not. 

6 And * the angels which kept 
not their x first estate, but left their 
own habitation, he hath reserved in 
everlasting chains, under darkness, 
unto $ the judgment of thegreat day. 

7 Even as * Sodom and Gomorrha, 
and the cities about them, in like 
manner giving themselves over 
to fornication, and going after 
2 strange flesh, are set forth for an 
example, suffering the vengeance 
of eternal fire.

THE Revelation of Jesus Christ, 
which a God gave unto him, to 
show unto his servants things which 
must shortly come to pass; and 6 he 
sent and signified it by his angel 
unto his servant John: 

2 Who bare record of the word of 
God, and of the testimony of Jesus 
Christ, and of all things c that he 
saw. 

3 Blessed d is he that readeth, and 
they that hear the words of this 
prophecy, and keep those things 
which are written therein: for the 
time is at hand. 

4 TOHN to the seven churches 
O which are in Asia: Grace be 

unto you, and peace, from e him

Prince of the kings of the earth. 
Unto k him that loved us, l and

9 I John, who also am your bro- 
ther, and companion in tribulation, 
and 2 in the kingdom and patience 
of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that 
is called Patmos, for the word of 
God, and for the testimony of Jesus

10 I r was in the Spirit on s the

and send it unto the seven 
churches which are in Asia; unto 
Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and 
unto Pergamos, and unto Thya- 
tira, and unto Sardis, and unto 
Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 

12 And I turned to see the voice 
that spake with me. And being 
turned *I saw seven golden 
candlesticks; 

13 And in the midst of the seven 
candlesticks ** one like unto the 
Son of man, clothed "with a gar- 
ment down to the foot, and girt 
about the paps with a golden 
girdle.

16 And he had in his right hand 
seven stars; and a out of his mouth 
went a sharp two-edged sword; 
and 6 his countenance was as the 
sun shineth in his strength. 

17 And c when I saw him, I fell

his right hand upon me, saying 
unto me, Fear not; ' I am the first

seven stars in his right hand, who 
. walketh in the midst of the seven 
golden candlesticks;

labour, and thy patience, and how

evil: and thou d hast tried them 
6 which say they are apostles, and 
are not, and hast found them bars: 

3 And hast borne, and hast pa- 
tience, and for my name's sake hast 
laboured, and hast /not fainted. 

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat 
against thee, because thou hast 
left thy first lova 

5 Remember therefore from 
whence thou art fallen, and repent, 
and do the first works; 9 or else I 
will come unto thee quickly, and 
will remove thy candlestick out of 
his place, except thou repent. 

6 But this thou hast, that thou 
hatest the deeds of the Nicolai- 
tanes, which I also hate. 

7 He* that hath an ear, let him

synagogue of Satan.

name, and hast not denied my 
faith, even in those days wherein 
Antipas was my faithful martyr, 
who was slain among you, u where 
Satan dwelleth. 

14 But I have a few things 
against thee, because thou hast

things sacrificed unto idols, x and 
to commit fornication.

'Christ's message 



REVELATION, HE. 



to the churches of Asia. 



20 Notwithstanding I have a few 
things against thee, because thou 
sufferest that woman b Jezebel, 
which calleth herself a prophetess, 
to teach and to seduce my ser- 
vants to commit fornication, and 
to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 

21 And I gave her space c to 
repent of her fornication; and she 
repented not. 

22 Behold, I will cast her into a 
bed, and them that commit adul- 
tery with her into great tribulation, 
except they repent of their deeds. 

23 And I will kill her children 
with death; and all the churches 
shall know that d I am he which 
searcheth the reins and hearts: 
and 6 1 will give unto every one of 
you according to your works. 

24 But unto you I say, and unto 
the rest in Thyatira, as many as 
have not this doctrine, and which 
have not known /the depths of 
Satan, as they speak; g I will put 
upon you none other burden. 

25 But that which ye have 
already hold fast till I come. 

26 And he that overcometh. and 
keepeth my h works unto the end, 
to i him will I give power over the 
nations: 

27 And S he shall rule them with 
a rod of iron; as the vessels of a 
potter shall they be broken to 
shivers: even as I received of my 
Father. 

28 And I will give him k the 
morning star. 

29 He that hath an ear, let him 
hear what the Spirit saith unto 
the churches.

What John was commanded to write to 
the angels of the churches of 1 Sardis, 7

AND unto the angel of the 
church in Sardis write; These 
things saith he that hath the seven 
Spirits of God, and the seven stars; 
I know thy works, that thou hast 
a name that thou livest, a and art 
dead. 

2 Be watchful, and strengthen 
the things which remain, that 
are ready to die: for I have not 
found thy works perfect before God. 

3 Bemember therefore how thou 
hast received and heard; and hold 
fast, and repent. & If therefore 
thou shalt not watch, I will come 
on thee as a thief, and thou shalt 
not know what hour I will come 
upon thee.

are worthy. 

5 He that overcometh, the same 
shall be clothed in white raiment; 
and I will /not blot out his name

confess his name before my Father,

6 He that hath an ear, let him

the churches. 

7 And to the angel of the church 
in Philadelphia write; These things 
saith he Hhat is holy, 5 he that is 
true, he that hath k the key of 
David, l he that openeth, and no 
manshutteth; w and shutteth, and 
no man openeth; 

8 I know thy works: behold, I 
have set before thee "an open 
door, and no man can shut it: for 
thou hast a little strength, and 
hast kept my word, and hast not 
denied my name. 

9 Behold, I will make them of the 
synagogue of Satan, which say they 
are Jews, and are not, but do lie; 
behold, * I will make them to come 
and worship before thy feet, and 
to know that I have loved thee. 

10 Because thou hast kept the 
word of my patience, v I also will 
keep thee from the hour of temp- 
tation, which shall come upon all 
the world, to try them that dwell 
upon the earth. 

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold 
that fast which thou hast, that no 
man take thy crown. 

12 Him that overcometh will I 
make q a pillar in the temple of my 
God, and he shall go no more out: 
and r I will write upon him the 
name of my God, ana the name of 
the city of my God, which is new 
s Jerusalem, which cometh down 
out of heaven from my God; ' and 
1 will write upon him my new name. 

13 He that hath an ear, let him

14 And unto the angel of the 
church x of the Laodiceans write; 
These things saith the M Amen, 
the faithful and true v Witness, the 
w beginning of the creation of God; 

15 I know thy works, that thou 
art neither cold nor hot: I would 
thou wert cold or hot 

16 So then because thou art 
lukewarm, and neither cold nor 
hot, I will spue thee out of my 
mouth. 



Vision of the throne of God. REVELATION, IV, V. 



Of the sealed book. 



17 Because thou sayest, S I am 
rich, and increased with goods, 
and have need of nothing; and 
knowest not that thou art wretched, 
and miserable, and poor, and 
blind, and naked: 

18 I counsel thee y to buy of me 
gold tried in the fire, that thou 
mayest be rich; *and white rai- 
ment, that thou mayest be clothed, 
and that the shame of thy naked- 
ness do not appear; and anoint 
thine eyes with eye-salve, that 
thou mayest see. 

19 As a many as I love, I rebuke 
and chasten: be zealous therefore, 
and repent. 

20 Behold, 6 1 stand at the door 
and knock: if ° any man hear my 
voice, and open the door, d I will 
come in to him, and will sup with 
him, and he with me. 

21 To him that overcometh e will 
1 grant to sit with me in my throne, 
even as I also overcame, and am set 
down withmy Father inhis throne. 

22 He' that hath an ear, let him 
hear what the Spirit saith unto 
the churches. 

CHAPTEK IV. 
The throne of God, etc. 

AFTER this I looked, and, be- 
hold, a door was opened in 
heaven: and the first voice which I 
heard was as it were of a trumpet 
talking with me; which said, Come 
up hither, and I will show thee 
things which must be hereafter. 

2 And immediately a I was in 
the Spirit: and, behold, b a throne 
was set in heaven, and one sat on 
the throne. 

3 And he that sat was to look 
upon like a jasper and a sardine 
stone: c and there was a rainbow 
round about the throne, in sight 
like unto an emerald. 

4 And round about the throne 
were four and twenty seats: and 
upon the seats I saw four and 
twenty elders sitting, clothed in 
white raiment; and they had on 
their heads crowns of gold. 

5 And out of the throne proceeded 
lightnings and thunderings and 
voices: d and there were seven lamps 
of fire burning before the throne, 
which are the seven Spirits of God. 

6 And before the throne there was 
a 6 sea of glass like unto crystal : 
and/ in the midst of the throne, and 
round about the throne, were four 
beasts,full of eyesbefore andbehind. 

7 And 9 the first beast was like a 
lion, and the second beast like a

calf, and the third beast had a 
face as a man, and the fourth beast 
was like a flying eagle. 

8 And the four beasts had each of 
them six h wings about him; and 
they were full of eyes within : and 
x they rest not day and night, 
saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God 
Almighty, which was, and is, and 
is to come. 

9 And when those beasts give 
glory and honour and thanks to 
him that sat on the throne, who 
liveth for ever and ever, 

10 The four and twenty elders 
fall down before him that sat on the 
throne, and worship him that liv- 
eth for ever and ever, and cast then- 
crowns before the throne, saying, 

11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to 
receive glory and honour and 
power: for thou hast created all 
things, and for thy pleasure they 
are and were created. 

CHAPTER V. 
Of the book sealed with seven seals. 

AND I saw in the right hand of 
him that sat on the throne a a 
book written within and on the 
back side, sealed with b seven seals. 

2 And I saw a strong angel pro- 
claiming with a loud voice, Who 
is worthy to open the book, and to 
loose the seals thereof? 

3 And c no man in heaven, nor in 
earth, neither under the earth, was 
able to open the book, neither to 
look thereon. 

4 And I wept much, because no 
man was found worthy to open and 
to read the book, neither to look 
thereon. 

5 And one of the elders saith unto 
me, Weep not: behold, d the Lion 
of the tribe of Juda, e the Root of 
David, hath /prevailed to open the 
book, and to loose the seven seals 
thereof. 

6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the 
midst of the throne and of the four 
beasts, and in the midst of the el- 
ders, stood a 9 Lamb as it had been 
slain, having sevenhoms and seven 
h eyes, which are * the seven Spirits 
of God sent forth into all the earth. 

7 And he came and took the 
book out of the right hand of him 
that sat upon the throne. 

8 And when he had taken the 
book, the four beasts and four and 
twenty elders fell down before the 
Lamb, having every one of-?' them 
harps, and golden vials full of 
1 odours, * which are the prayers of 
saints. 



Song of the redeemed. 



REVELATION, VI, VII. 



The opening of the seals. 



9 And * they sung a new song, 
saying, m Thou art worthy to take 
the book, and to open the seals 
thereof: for thou wast slain, and 
hast n redeemed us to God by thy 
blood ° out of every kindred, and 
tongue, and people, and nation; 

10 And * hast made us unto our 
God kings and priests: and we 
shall reign on the earth. 

11 And I beheld, and I heard the 
voice of many angels round about 
the throne and the beasts and the 
elders: and the number of them 
was q ten thousand times ten thou- 
sand, and thousands of thousands; 

12 Saying with a loud voice, 
Worthy is the Lamb that was 
slain to receive power, and riches, 
and wisdom, and strength, and 
honour, and glory, and blessing. 

< 13 And r every creature Avhich is 
in heaven, and on the earth, and 
under the earth, and such as are 
in the sea, and all that are in 
them, heard I saying, 8 Blessing, 
and honour, and glory, and power, 
be unto him that sitteth upon the 
throne, ' and unto the Lamb, for 
ever and ever. 
14 And the four beasts said, 
Amen. And the four and twenty 
elders fell down and worshipped 
him that liveth for ever and ever. 
CHAPTER VI. 

The opening of six of the seals in order. 

AND I saw when the Lamb 
opened one of the seals; and I 
heard, as it were the noise of thun- 
der, one of the four beasts saying, 
Come and see. 

2 And I saw, and behold ° a 
white horse: and b he that sat on 
him had a bow; c and a crown was 
given unto him: and he went forth 
conquering, and to conquer. 

3 And when he had opened the 
second seal, I heard the second 
beast say, Come and see. 

4 And d there went out another 
horse that was red: and power was 
given to him that sat thereon to 
take peace from the earth, and 

*that they should kill one another: 
and there was given unto him a 
great sword. 

5 And when he had opened the 
third seal, I heard the third beast 
say, Come and see. And I beheld, 
and lo a 6 black horse: and he that 
sat on him had a pair of balances 
in his hand. 

6 And I heard a voice in the 
midst of the four beasts say, x A 
measure of wheat for a penny, and

7 And when he had opened the 
fourth seal, I heard the voice of the 
fourth beast say, Come and see. 

8 And I looked, and behold a 
pale horse: and his name that sat 
on him was Death, and Hell fol- 
lowed with him. And power was 
given 2 unto them over the fourth 
part of the earth, 9 to kill with 
sword, and with hunger, and with 
death, ft and with the beasts of the 
earth. 

9 And when he had opened the 
fifth seal, I saw under * the altar 
the J souls of them that were 
slain for the word of God, and for 
* the testimony which they held: 

10 And they cried with a loud 
voice, saying, l How long, O Lord, 
holy and true, dost thou not judge 
and avenge our blood on them 
that dwell on the earth? 

11 And white robes were given 
unto every one of them; and it 
was said unto them, that m they 
should rest yet for a little season,un- 
til their fellow -servants also and 
their brethren, that should be killed 
as they were, should be fulfilled. 

12 And I beheld when he had 
opened the sixth seal; n and, lo, 
there was a great earthquake; and 
the ° sun became black as sack- 
cloth of hair, and the moon be- 
came as blood; 

13 And the stars of heaven fell 
unto the earth, even as a fig tree 
casteth her 3 untimely figs, when 
she is shaken of a mighty wind. 

14 And^ the heaven departed as a 
scroll when it is rolled together; 
and every mountain q and island 
were moved out of their places. 

15 And the kings of the earth, 
and the great mem and the rich 
men, and the chief captains, and 
the mighty men, and every bond 
man, and every free man, r hid 
themselves in the dens and in the 
rocks of the mountains;. 

16 And said to the mountains and 
rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from 
the face of him that sitteth on the 
throne, and from the wrath of the 
Lamb: 

17 For s the great day of his wrath 
is come; and 'who shall be able to 
stand?

four corners of the earth, 6 holding 
the four winds of the earth, that 
the c wind should not blow on the 
earth, nor on the sea, nor on any 
tree. 

2 And I saw another angel as- 
cending from the east, having the 
seal of the living God: and he cried 
with a loud voice to the four 
angels, to whom it was given to 
hurt the earth and the sea, 

3 Saying, d Hurt not the earth, 
neither the sea, nor the trees, till 
we have sealed 6 the servants of 
our God in / their foreheads. 

4 And ° I heard the number of 
them which were sealed: and there 
were sealed an h hundred and forty 
and four thousand of all the tribes 
of the children of IsraeL 

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed 
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of 
Reuben were sealed twelve thou- 
sand. Of the tribe of Gad were 
sealed twelve thousand. 

6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed 
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of 
Nephthalim were sealed twelve 
thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses 
were sealed twelve thousand. 

7 Of the tribe of Simeon were 
sealed twelve thousand. Of the 
tribe of Levi were sealed twelve 
thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar 
were sealed twelve thousand. 

8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were 
sealed twelve thousand. Of the 
tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve 
thousand. Of the tribe of Benja- 
niin were sealed twelve thousand. 

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, * a 
great multitude, which no man 
could number, i of all nations, and 
kindreds, and people, and tongues, 
stood before the throne, and before 
the Lamb, * clothed with white 
robes, and palms in their hands; 

10 And cried with a loud voice, 
saying, Salvation l to our God 
m which sitteth upon the throne, 
and unto the Lamb. 

1 1 And n all the angels stood round 
about the throne, and about the 
elders, and the four beasts, and fell 
before the throne on their faces, 
and worshipped God, 

12 Saying, ° Amen: Blessing, and 
glory, and wisdom, and thanks- 
giving, and honour, and power, 
and might, be unto our God for 
ever and ever. Amen. 

13 And one of the elders answered, 
saving unto me, What are these 

which are arrayed in white robes? 
and whence came they?

great tribulation, and have washed 
2 their robes, and made them 
white in the blood of the Lamb. 

15 Therefore are they before the 
throne of God, and serve him day 
and night in his temple : and he 
that sitteth on the throne; shall 
dwell r among them. 

16 They s shall hunger no more, 
neither thirst any more; ' neither 
shall the sun light on them, nor 
any heat. 

17 For the Lamb which is in the 
midst of the throne " shall feed 
them, and shall lead them unto 
living fountains of waters; and 
God "shall wipe away all tears 
from their eyes. 

CHAPTER TILL 
1 The seventh seal opened. 6 Great plagues. 

AND when he had opened the 
seventh seal, there was silence 
in heaven about the space of half 
an hour. 

2 And a I saw the seven angels 
which stood before God; b and to 
them were given seven trumpets. 

3 And another c angel came and 
stood at the altar, having a golden 
censer; and there was given unto 
him much d incense, that he should 
1 offer it with a the prayers of all 
saints upon the / golden altar 
which was before the throne. 

4 And 9 the smoke of the incense, 
which came with the prayers of the 
saints, ascended up before God out 
of the angel's hand. 

5 And the angel took the censer, 
and filled it with fire of the altar, 
and cast it 2 into the earth: A and 
there were voices, and thunderings, 
and lightnings, * and an earthquake. 

6 And the seven angels which 
had the seven trumpets prepared 
themselves to sound. 

7 The first angel sounded, ) and 
there followed hail and fire min- 
gled with blood, and they were 
cast * upon the earth : and the 
third part l of trees was burnt up, 
and all green grass was burnt up. 

8 And the second angel sounded, 
and as it were a great mountain 
burning with fire was cast into the 
sea : and the third part of the sea 
became m blood; 

9 And the third part of the crea- 
tures which were in the sea, and 
had life, died; and the third part 
of the ships were destroyed. 

10 And the third angel sounded,

of the trumpets. 



and there fell a great star from 
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, 
and it fell upon the third part of 
the rivers, and upon the fountains 
of waters : 

11 And the name of the star is 
called Wormwood: "and the third 
part of the waters became worm- 
wood; and many men died of the wa- 
ters, because they were made bitter. 

12 And ° the fourth angel sounded, 
and the third part of the sun was 
smitten, and the third part of the 
moon, and the third part of the 
stars; so as the third part of them 
was darkened, and the day shone 
not for a third part of it, and the 
night likewise. 

13 And I beheld, and^ heard an 
angel flying through the midst of 
heaven, saying with a loud voice, 
Woe, q woe, woe to the inhabiters 
of the earth, by reason of the other 
voices of the trumpet of the three 
angels, which are yet to sound ! 

CHAPTEE IX. 
The sounding of tlte fifth angel. 

AND the fifth angel sounded, 
and a I saw a star fall from 
heaven unto the earth : and to him 
was given the key of b the bottom- 
less pit. 

2 And he opened the bottomless 
pit; and there arose c a smoke out 
of the pit, as the smoke of a great 
furnace; and the sun and the air 
were darkened by reason of the 
smoke of the pit. 

3 And there came out of the 
smoke d locusts upon the earth : 
and unto them was given power, 
as the scorpions of the earth have 
power. 

4 And it was commanded them 
that 6 they should not hurt / the 
grassof the earth, neither any green 
thing, neither any tree; but only 
those men which have not 9 the 
seal of God in their foreheads. 

5 And to them it was given that 
they should not kill them, a but 
that they should be tormented five 
months: and their torment was as 
the torment of a scorpion, when 
he striketh a man. 

6 And in those days * shall men 
seek death, and shall not find it ; 
and shall desire to die, and death 
shall flee from them. 

7 And J 1 ' the shapes of the locusts 
were like unto horses prepared unto 
battle ; and * on their heads were 
as it were crowns like gold, l and 
their faces were as the faces of men. 

8 And they had hair as the hair

of women, and m their teeth were 
as the teeth of lions. 

9 And they had breastplates, as 
it were breastplates of iron ; and 
the sound of their wings was as the 
sound of chariots of many horses 
running to battle. 

10 And they had tails like unto 
scorpions, and there were stings 
in their tails: and their power was 
to hurt men five months. 

11 And n they had a king over 
them, which is the angel of the 
bottomless pit, whose name in the 
Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but 
in the Greek tongue hath his name 
1 Apollyon. 

12 One ° woe is past ; and, behold, 
there come two woes more here- 
after. 

13 And the sixth angel sounded, 
and I heard a voice from the four 
horns of the golden altar which is 
before God, 

14 Saying to the sixth angel which 
had the trumpet, Loose the four 
angels which are bound p in the 
great river Euphrates. 

15 And the four angels were 
loosed, which were prepared 2 for 
an hour, and a day, and a month, 
and a year, for to slay the third 
part of men. 

16 And g the number of the army 
of the horsemen were two hundred 
thousand thousand: e and I heard 
the number of them. 

17 And thus I saw the horses in 
the vision, and them that sat on 
them, having breastplates of fire, 
and of jacinth, and brimstone: 
and * the heads of the horses were 
as the heads of lions ; and out of 
their mouths issued fire and smoke 
and brimstone. 

18 By these three was the third 
partof menkilled,by thefire, and by 
the smoke, and by the brimstone, 
which issued out of their mouths. 

19 For their power is in their 
mouth, and in their tails : M for 
their tails were like unto serpents, 
and had heads, and with them 
they do hurt. 

20 And the rest of themen, which 
were not killed by these plagues, 
yet * repented not of the works of 
their hands, that they should not 
worship w devils,* and idols of gold, 
and silver, and brass, and stone, 
and of wood : which neither can 
see, nor hear, nor walk: 

21 Neither repented they of their 
murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of 
their fornication, nor of their thefts.

CHAPTEB X. 

An angel appeareth with a book. 

AND I saw another mighty angel 
come down from heaven, 
clothed with a cloud; a and a rain- 
how was upon his head, and b his 
face was as it were the sun, and his 
feet c as pillars of fire : 

2 And he had in his hand a little 
hook open : d and he set his right 
foot upon the sea, and his left foot 
on the earth, 

3 And cried with a loud voice, as 
when a lion roareth : and when he 
had cried, seven 6 thunders uttered 
their voices. 

4 And when the seven thunders 
had uttered their voices, I was 
about to write : andl heard a voice 
from heaven saying unto me, /Seal 
up those things which the seven 
thunders uttered, and write them 
not. 

5 And the angel which I saw 
stand upon the sea and upon the 
earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 

6 And sware hy him that 9 liveth 
for ever and ever, who created 
heaven, and the things that there- 
in are, and the earth, and the 
things that therein are, and the 
sea, and the things which are there- 
in, A that there should he time no 
longer: 

7 But* in the days of the voice of 
the seventh angel, when he shall 
begin to sound, the mystery of God 
should be finished, as he hath de- 
clared to his servants the prophets. 

8 And the voice which I heard 
from heaven spake unto me again, 
and said, Go and take the little 
book which is open in the hand of 
the angel which standeth upon 
the sea and upon the earth. 

9 And I went unto the angel, and 
said unto him, Give me the little 
book. And he said unto me, 
Take i it, and eat it up; and it shall 
make thy belly bitter, but it shall 
be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 

10 And I took the little book out 
of the angel's hand, and ate it up ; 
and it was in my mouth sweet as 
honey : and as soon as I had eaten 
it, my belly was bitter. 

11 And he said unto me, Thou 
must prophesy again before many 
peoples, and nations, and tongues, 
and kings.

2 But c the courtwhich is without 
the temple 1 leave out, andmeasure 
it not ; for d it is given unto the 
Gentiles: and the holy city shall 
they e tread under foot / forty and 
two months. 

3 And 2 1 will give power unto my 
two 9 witnesses, ft and they shall 
prophesy * a thousand two hundred 
and threescore days, clothed in 
sackcloth. 

4 These are the S two olive trees, 
and the two candlesticks standing 
before the God of the earth. 

5 And if any man will hurt them, 
fire *proceedeth out of theirmouth, 
and de voureth their enemies: l and 
if any man will hurt them, he must 
in this manner be killed. 

6 These "* have power to shut 
heaven, that it rain not in the days 
of their prophecy: and "" have 
power over waters to turn them to 
blood, and to smite the earth with 
all plagues, as often as they will. 

7 And when they ° shall have 
finished their testimony, p the 
beast that ascendeth out of the 
bottomless 2 pit shall make war 
against them, and shall overcome 
them, and kill them. 

8 And their dead bodies shall lie 
in the street of r the great city, 
which spiritually is called Sodom 
and Egypt, where s also our Lord 
was crucified. 

9 And < they of the people, and 
kindreds, and tongues, and na- 
tions, shall see their dead bodies 
three days and an half, u and shall 
not suffer their dead bodies to be 
put in graves. 

10 And "they that dwell upon 
the earth shall rejoice over them, 
and make merry, and shall send 
gifts one to another; because these 
two prophets tormented them that 
dwelt on the earth. 

11 And after three days and an 
half w the Spirit of life from God 
entered into them, and they stood 
upon their feet; and great fear fell 
upon them which saw them. 

12 And they heard a great voice 
from heaven saying unto them, 
Come up hither. And x they as- 
cended up to heaven v in a cloud; 
and their enemies beheld them. 

13 And the same hour was there 
a great earthquake, z and the tenth 
part of the city fell, and in the 
earthquake were slain 3 of men 
seven thousand: and the remnant

were affrighted, and gave glory to 
the God of heaven. 

14 The second woe is past; and, 
behold, the third woe cometh 
quickly. 

15 And the seventh angel sound- 
ed; and there a were great voices in 
heaven, saying, The kingdoms of 
this world are become the kingdoms 
of our Lord, and of his Christ; 
and b he shall reign for ever and 
ever. 

16 And the four and twenty 
elders which sat before God on 
their seats, fell upon their faces, 
and worshipped God, 

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, 
Lord God Almighty, which art, 
and wast, and art to come; because 
thou hast taken to thee thy great 
power, and hast reigned. 

18 And the nations were angry, 
and thy wrath is come, c and the 
time of the dead, that they should 
be judged, and that thou shouldest 
give reward unto thy servants the 
prophets, and to the saints, and 
them that fear thy name, small 
and great; and shouldest destroy 
them which 4 destroy the earth. 

19 And the temple of God was 
opened in heaven, and there was 
seen d in his temple the ark of his 
testament: and there were light- 
nings, and voices, and thunder- 
ing^, and an earthquake, and great 
hail 

CHAPTER XLT. 
Of the woman clothed with the sun. 

AND there appeared a great 
1 wonder in heaven; a "woman 
clothed with the sun, and the 
moon under her feet, and upon 
her head a crown of twelve stars: 

2 And she being with child cried, 
travailing b in birth, and pained to 
be delivered. 

3 And there appeared another 
2 wonder in heaven; and behold 
a c great red dragon, having d seven 
heads and ten horns, * and seven 
crowns upon his heads. 

4 And /his tail drew the third 
part of the 9 stars of heaven, ft and 
did cast them to the earth: and 
the dragon stood before the woman 
which was ready to be delivered, 
for * to devour her child as soon as 
it was born. 

5 And she brought forth a man- 
child, who i was to rule all nations 
with a rod of iron: and her child 
was caught up unto God, and to 
his throne.

6 And the woman fled into the 
wilderness, where she hath a place 
prepared of God, that they should 
feed her there k a, thousand two 
hundred and threescore days. 

7 And there was war in heaven: 
Michael /and his angels fought 
against the "dragon; and the 
dragon fought and his angels, 

8 And prevailed not; neither 
was their place found any more in 
heaven. 

9 And n the great dragon was cast 
out, that ° old serpent, called the 
Devil, and Satan, which dcceiveth 
the whole world: he p was cast out 
into the earth, and his angels were 
cast out with him. 

10 And I heard a loud voice say- 
ing in heaven, q Now is come sal- 
vation, and strength, and the king- 
dom of our God, and the power of 
his Christ : for the accuser of our 
brethren is cast down, r which ac- 
cused them before our God day 
and night. 

11 And * they overcame him by 
the blood of the Lamb, and by the 
word of then testimony ; f and they 
loved not their lives unto the 
death. 

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, 
and ye that dwell in them. M Woe 
to the inhabiters of the earth and 
of the sea ! for the devil is come 
down unto you, having great wrath, 
because "he knoweth that he hath 
but a short time. 

13 And when the dragon saw that 
he was cast unto the earth, he per- 
secuted the woman which brought 
forth the man-child. 

14 And w to the woman were given 
two wings of a great eagle, that she 
might fly into^the wildernesSj into 
her place, where she is nourished 
for y a time, and times, and half a 
time, from the face of the ser- 
pent. 

15 And the serpent * cast out of 
his mouth water as a flood after 
the woman, that he might cause 
her to be carried away of the 
flood. 

16 And the earth helped the wo- 
man; and the earth opened her 
mouth, and swallowed up the flood 
which the dragon cast out of his 
mouth. 

17 And the dragon was wroth 
with the woman, a and went to 
make war with the remnant of heff 
seed, which keep the command- 
ments of God, and have b the tes- 
timony of Jesus Christ. 



Of the beast with seven heads. REVELATION, XIII, XIV. The Lamb on mount Sion. 



CHAPTEE XE 
The beast with seven heads and ten horns. 

AND I stood upon the sand of 
the sea, and 6aw a a beast rise up 
out of the sea, having seven heads 
and ten horns, and upon his horns 
ten crowns, and upon his heads 
the l name of blasphemy. 

2 And * the beast which I saw was 
like unto a leopard, and his feet 
were as the feet of a bear, and his 
mouth as the mouth of a lion: and 
the c dragon gave him his power, 
and his seat, and great authority. 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it 
were 2 wounded to death ; and his 
deadly wound was healed: and all d 
the world wondered after the beast. 

4 And they worshipped the drag- 
on which gave power unto the 
beast: and they worshipped the 
beast, saying, 'Who is like unto 
the beast ? who is able to make 
war with him ? 

5 And there was given unto him 
a J mouth speaking great things 
and blasphemies; and power was 
given unto him 3 to continue 
forty 9 and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in 
blasphemy against God, to blas- 
pheme his name, h and his taber- 
nacle, and them that dwell in 
heaven. 

7 And it was given unto him * to 
make war with the saints, and to 
overcome them : and power was 
given him over all kindreds, and 
tongues, and nations. 

8 And all that dwell upon the 
earth shall worship him, i whose 
names are not written in the book 
of life of the Lamb * slain from the 
foundation of the world. 

9 If any man have an ear, let him 
hear. 

10 He l that leadeth into captivity 
shall go into captivity : m he that 
killeth with the sword must be 
killed with the sword. Here n is the 
patience and the faith of the saints. 

11 And I beheld .another beast 
corning up out of -the earth; and 
he had two horns like a lamb, and 
he spake as a dragon 

12 And he exerciseth all the power 
of the first beast before him, and 
causeth the earth and them which 
dwell therein to worship the first 
beast, whose deadly wound was 
healed. 

13 And ° he doeth great wonders,

on the earth by the, means of those 
miracles which he had power to do 
in the sight of the beast ; saying 
to them that dwell on the earth, 
that they should make an image 
to the beast, which had the wound 
by a sword, and q did live. 

15 And he had power to give 
4 life unto the image of the beast, 
that the image of the beast should 
both speak, and r cause that as 
many as would not worship the im- 
age of the beast should be killed. 

16 And he caused all, both small 
and great, rich and poor, free and 
bond, 6 to receive a mark in their 
right hand, or in their foreheads : 

17 And that no man might buy 
or sell, save he that had the mark, 
or * the name of the beast, ' or the 
number of his name. 

18 Here M is wisdom. Let him 
that hath understanding count the 
number of the beast : tor it is the 
number of a man ; and his number 
is Six hundred threescore and six. 

CHAPTEE XTV. 
The fall of Babylon, etc. 

AND I looked, and, lo, a "Lamb 
stood on the mount Sion, and 
with him an hundred forty and 
four thousand, 6 having his Father's 
name written in their foreheads. 

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, 
as the voice of many waters, and 
as the voice of a great thunder : 
and I heard the voice of harpers 
harping with their harps : 

3 And they sung as it were a new 
song before the throne, and before 
the four beasts, and the elders: 
and no man could learn that song 
but the hundred and forty and four 
thousand, which were redeemed 
from the earth. 

4 These are they which were not 
defiled with women ; c for they are 
virgins. These are they which 
fohow the Lamb whithersoever he 
goeth. These * were redeemed 
from among men, d being the first- 
fruits unto God and to the Lamb. 

5 And e in their mouth was found 
no guile : for t they are without 
fault before the throne of God. 

6 And I saw another angel fly in 
the midst of heaven, 9 having the 
everlasting gospel to preach unto 
them that dwell on the earth, and 
to every nation, and kindred, and 
tongue, and people, 

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear 
God, and give glory to him; for 
the hour of his judgment is come:

and a worship him that made hea- 
ven, and earth, and the sea, and 
the fountains of waters. 

8 And there followed another 
angel, saying, * Babylon is fallen, 
is fallen, that great city, because 
she made all nations drink of the 
wine of the wrath of her fornication. 

9 And the third angel followed 
them, saying with a loud voice, If 
any man worship the beast and 
his image, and receive his mark in 
his forehead, or in his hand, 

10 The same •'"shall drink of the 
wine of the wrath of God, which 
is poured out without mixture 
into the cup of his indignation; 
and he shall be tormented with 
fire and brimstone in the presence 
of the holy angels, and in the 
presence of the Lamb: 

11 And * the smoke of their tor- 
ment ascendeth up for ever and 
ever: and they have no rest day 
nor night, who worship the beast 
and his image, and whosoever re- 
ceiveth the mark of his name. 

12 Here l is the patience of the 
saints: here are TO they that keep 
the commandments of God, and 
the faith of Jesus. 

13 And I heard a voice from 
heaven saying unto me, Write, 
Blessed n are the dead ° which die 
in the Lord 2 from henceforth: Yea, 
saith the Spirit, that ^they may 
rest from their labours; and then- 
works do follow them. 

14 And I looked, and behold a 
white cloud, and upon the cloud 
one sat like unto q the Son of man, 
having on his head agolden crown, 
and in his hand a sharp sickle. 

15 And another angel came out 
of the temple, crying with a loud 
voice to him that sat on the cloud, 
Thrust r in thy sickle, and reap: 
for the time is come for thee toreap; 
for the harvest 8 of the earth is ^ipe. 

16 And he that sat on the cloud 
thrust in his sickle on the earth; 
and the earth was reaped. 

17 And another angel came out 
of the temple which is in heaven, 
he also having a sharp sickle. 

18 And another angel came out 
from the altar, 'which had power 
over fire; and cried with a loud 
cry to him. that had the sharp 
sickle, saying, M Thrust in thy 
sharp sickle, and gather the clusters 
of the vine of the earth; for her 
grapes are fully ripe.

sickle into the earth, and gathered

space of a thousand and six hun-

CHAPTER XV. 

The seven angels with the seven plagues. 

AND I saw another sign in 
heaven, great and marvellous, 
seven "angels having the seven 
last plagues; for 5 in them is filled 
up the wrath of God. 

2 And I saw as it were" a sea 
of d glass mingled with fire; and 
them that had gotten the victory 
over the beast, e and over his 
image, and over his mark, and 
over the number of his name, 
stand on the sea of glass, having 
the harps of God. 

3 And they sing /the song of 
Moses the servant of God, and the 
song of the Lamb, saying, 9 Great 
and marvellous are thy works, 
Lord God Almighty; just &and 
true are thy ways, thou King of 
1 saints. 

4 Who * shall not fear thee, O 
Lord, and glorify thy name? for 
thou only art holy: for i all nations 
shall come and worship before 
thee; for thy judgments are made 
manifest. 

5 And after that I looked, and, 
behold, * the temple of the taber- 
nacle of the testimony in heaven 
was opened: 

6 And the seven angels came out 
of the temple, having the seven 
plagues, clothed in *pure and white 
linen, and having their breasts 
girded with golden girdles. 

7 And m one of the four beasts 
gave unto the seven angels seven 
golden vials full of the wrath of 
God, who liveth for ever and ever. 

8 And "the temple was filled 
with smoke from the glory of 
God, and from his power; and no 
man was able to enter into the 
temple, till the seven plagues of 
the seven angels were fulfilled. 

CHAPTER XVI. 
The seven angels pour out their vials. 

AND I heard a great voice out 
of the temple saying to the 
seven angels, Go your ways, and 
pour out the vials of the wrath of 
God upon the earth. 
2 And the first went, and poured 
out his vial a upon the earth; 6 and 



The seven vials poured out. EE VEL ATION, XVJLL. The woman arrayed in scarlet. 



there fell a noisome and grievous 
sore upon the men which c had 
the mark of the beast, and upon 
them which worshipped his image. 

3 And the second angel poured 
out his vial upon the sea; and d it he- 
came as the blood of a 6 dead man: 
and every livingsoul died in the sea. 

4 And the third angel poured 
out his vial upon the rivers and 
fountains of waters; and they be- 
came blood. 

5 And I heard the angel of the 
waters say, Thou /art righteous, 
Lord, which g art, and wast, and 
shalt be, because thou hast judged 
thus: 

6 For A they have shed the blood 
of saints and prophets, * and thou 
hast given them blood to drink; 
for they are worthy. 

7 And I heard another out of the 
altar say, Even so, Lord God Al- 
mighty,^ true and righteous are thy 
judgments. 

8 And the fourth angel poured 
out his vial upon the sun; and 
power was given unto him to 
scorch men with fire. 

9 And men were } scorched with 
great heat, and blasphemed the 
name of God, which hath power 
over these plagues: and * they re- 
pented not to give him glory. 

10 And the fifth angel poured out 
his vial upon l the seat of the beast; 
and his kingdom was full of dark- 
ness; and they gnawed their 
tongues for pain, 

11 And blasphemed the God of 
heaven because of their pains and 
their sores, and repented not of 
their deeds. 

12 And the sixth angel poured 
out his vial m upon the great river 
Euphrates; and n the water thereof 
was dried up, that °the way of 
the kings of the east might be 
prepared. 

13 And I saw three ^unclean 
spirits like frogs come out of the 
mouth of the 2 dragon, and out of 
the mouth of the beast, and out of 
the mouth of the false prophet. 

14 For r they are the spirits of 
devils, working s miracles, which 
go forth unto the kings of the 
earth ' and of the whole world, to 
gather them to the "battle of that 
great day of God Almighty. 

15 f Behold, "I come as a thief. 
Blessed is he that watcheth, and 
keepeth his garments, w lest he 
walk naked, and they see his 
shame.

16 And he gathered them together 
into a place called in the Hebrew 
tongue Armageddon. 

17 And the seventh angel poured 
out his vial into the air ; and there 
came a great voice out of the tem- 
ple of heaven, from the throne, 
saying, x It is done. 

18 And there were voices, and 
thunders, and Hghtnings; and 
there was a great earthquake, 
such y as was not since men were 
upon the earth, so mighty an 
earthquake, and so great. 

19 And * the great city was di- 
vided into three parts, and the 
cities of the nations fell : and great 
Babylon "came in remembrance 
before God, b to give unto her the 
cup of the wine of the fierceness of 
his wrath. 

20 And c every island fled away, 
and the mountains were not found. 

21 And d there fell upon men a 
great hail out of heaven, every 
stone about the weight of a talent: 
and men blasphemed God because 
of the plague of the hail ; for the 
plague thereof was exceeding great. 

CHAPTEE XVII. 
The woman arrayed in purp><e, and scarlet. 

AND there came a one of the seven 
angels which had the seven 
vials, and talked with me, saying 
unto me, Come hither: I will show 
unto thee the judgment of 6 the 
great whore that c sitteth upon 
many waters: 

2 With whom the kings of the 
earth have committed fornication, 
and d the inhabitants of the earth 
have been made drunk with the 
wine of her fornication. 

3 So he carried me away in the 
spirit into the 6 wilderness : and I 
saw a woman sit upon / a scarlet- 
coloured beast, full 9 of names of 
blasphemy, having seven heads 
and ten horns. 

4 And the woman was arrayed in 
purple * and scarlet colour, and x 
decked with gold, and precious 
stones, and pearls, * having a golden 
cup in her hand full of abomina- 
tions and filthiness of her fornica- 
tion: 

5 And upon her forehead was a 
name written, i MYSTERY, BA- 
BYLON *THE GEEAT, *THE 
MOTHER OF 2 HAELOTS AND 
ABOMINATIONS OF THE 
EAETH. 

6 And I saw the woman drunken 
with the blood of the saints, and 
with the blood of m the martyrs of

Jesus: and when I saw her, I 
wondered with great admiration. 

7 And the angel said unto me, 
Wherefore didst thou marvel? I 
will tell thee the mystery of the 
woman, and of the beast that 
carrieth her, which hath the seven 
heads and ten horns. 

8 The beast that thou sawest was, 
and is not ; and n shall ascend out of 
the bottomless pit, and go into 
perdition : and they that dwell on 
the earth shall wonder, (whose 
names were not written in the book 
of life from the foundation of the 
world,) when they behold the beast 
that was, and is not, and yet is. 

9 And ° here ts the mind which 
hath wisdom. v The seven heads 
are seven mountains, on which the 
woman sitteth. 

10 And there are seven kings: 
five are fallen, and one is, and the 
other is not yet come ; and when 
he cometh, he must continue a 
short space. 

11 And the beast that was, and is 
not, even he is the eighth, and is of 
the seven, and goeth into perdition. 

12 And q the ten horns which thou 
sawest, are ten kings, which have 
received no kingdom as yet ; but 
receive power as kings one hour 
with the beast. 

13 These have r one mind, and 
shall give their power and strength 
unto the beast. 

14 These * shall make war with 
the Lamb, and the Lamb shall 
overcome them : ' for he is Lord 
of lords, and King of kings : and 
they M that are with him are called, 
and chosen, and faithful. 

15 And he saith unto me, v The 
waters which thou sawest, where 
the whore sitteth, w are peoples, 
and multitudes, and nations, and 
tongues. 

16 And the ten horns which thou 
sawest upon the beast, * these shall 
hate the whore, and shall make 
her desolate y and naked, z and shall 
eather flesh, and burn her with fire. 

17 For "God hath put in their 
hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, 
and give their kingdom unto the 
beast, h until the words of God shall 
be fulfilled. 

18 And the woman which thou 
sawest c is that great city, d which 
reigneth overthe kings of the earth.

2 And he cried mightily with a 
strong voice, saying, b Babylon the 
great is fallen, is fallen, and c is

and d a cage of every unclean and

3 For all nations have drunk of

cation, and the kings of the earth 
have committed fornication with 
her, and the merchants of the 
earth are waxed rich through the 
1 abundance of her delicacies. 

4 And I heard another voice from 
heaven, saying, e Come out of her, 
my people, that ye be not partakers 
of her sins, and that ye receive not 
of her plagues: 

5 For / her sins have reached unto

7 How h much she hath glorified 
herself, and lived deliciously, so 
much torment and sorrow give 
her: for she saith in her heart, I sit 
a * queen, and am no widow, and 
shall see no sorrow. 

8 Therefore shall her plagues come 
in one day, death, and mourning, 
and famine ; and she shall be ut-

CHAPTER XIX. 
The marriage of the Lam!). 

AND after these things I heard a 
great voice of much people 
in heaven, saying, Alleluia! * Sal- 
vation, and glory, and honour, and 
power, unto the Lord our God: 

2 For true and righteous are bis 
judgments; for he hath judged the 
great whore, which did corrupt 
the earth with her fornication, 
and hath avenged 6 the blood of 
his servants at her hand. 

3 And again they said, Alleluia! 
And c her smoke rose up for ever 
and ever. 

4 And d the four and twenty 
elders, and the four beasts, fell 
down and worshipped God that 
sat on the throne, saying, e Amen, 
Alleluia! 

5 And a voice came out of the 
throne, saying, /Praise our God, all 
ye his servants, and ye that fear 
him, both small and great. 

6 And ^1 heard as it were the 
voice of a great multitude, and as 
the voice of many waters, and as 
the voice of mighty thunderings, 
saying, Alleluia! for the Lord God 
omnipotent reigneth. 

7 Let us be A glad and rejoice, 
and give honour to him: for Hhe 
marriage of the Lamb is come, and 
his wife hath made herself ready. 

8 And i to her was granted that 
she should be arrayed in fine linen, 
clean and ? white: for Hhe fine 
linen is the righteousness of saints. 

9 And he saith unto me, Write, 
Blessed I are they which are called 
unto the marriage supper of the 
Lamb. And he saith unto me, 
These are the true sayings of God. 

10 And m I fell at his feet to wor- 
ship him. And he said unto me, 
See n thou do it not: I am thy fellow- 
servant, and of thy brethren ° that 
have the testimony of Jesus: wor- 
ship God: for the testimony of 
Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 

11 And I saw heaven opened, 
and behold a white horse; and he 
that sat upon him was p called 
Faithful and True; and q in right- 
eousness he doth judge and make 
war. 

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, 
and on Ms head were many crowns; j 
and he had a r name written that | 
no man knew but he himself: 

13 And s he was clothed with a 
vesture dipped in blood: and his 
name is called The 'Word of God.

The last judgment. 



heaven followed him, upon white 
horses, u clothed in fine linen, 
white and clean. 

15 And v out of his mouth goeth 
a sharp sword, that with it he 
should smite the nations: and w he 
shall rule them with a rod of iron: 
and s he treadeth the wine-press 
of the fierceness and wrath of Al- 
mighty God. 

16 And he hath on his vesture 
and on his thigh a name writ- 
ten, y KING OF KINGS, AND 
LORD OF LOEDS. 

17 And I saw an angel standing 
in the sun; and he cried with a loud 
voice, saving to all the fowls that 
fly in the midst of heaven, z Come 
and gather yourselves together 
unto the supper of the great God; 

18 That ye may eat the flesh of 
kings, and the flesh of captains, 
and the flesh of mighty men, and 
the flesh of horses, and of them 
that sit on them, and the flesh of 
all men, both free and "bond, both 
small and great. 

19 And *I saw the beast, and 
the kings of the earth, and their 
armies, gathered together to make 
war against him that sat on the 
horse, and against his army. 

20 And the beast was taken, and 
with him the false prophet that 
wrought rniracles before him, with 
which he deceived them that had 
received the mark of the beast, and 
them that worshipped his image. 
These 6 both were cast alive into a 
lake of fire burning with brimstone. 

21 And the remnant were slain 
with the sword of him that sat up- 
on the horse, which sword proceed- 
ed out of his mouth: and all the 
fowls were filled with their flesh. 

CHAPTER XX. 
Satan hound for a thousand years. 

AND I saw an angel come down 
from heaven, a having the key 
of the bottomless pit and a great 
chain in his hand. 

2 And he laid hold on 6 the drag- 
on, that old serpent, which is the 
Devil, and Satan, and bound him 
a thousand years, 

3 And cast him into the bottom- 
less pit, and shut him up, and c set 
a seal upon him, that d he should 
deceive the nations no more, till 
the thousand years should be ful- 
filled: and after that he must be 
loosed a little season. 

4 And I saw 6 thrones, and they 
sat upon them, and /judgment 
was given unto them: and / satv

which had not worshipped the

5 But the rest of the dead lived

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath 
part in the first resurrection: on

passed the camp of the saints

shall be tormented day and night 
for ever and ever. 

11 And I saw a great white 
throne, and him that sat on it, 
from whose face ^the earth and

was found no place for them. 

12 And r I saw the dead, small 
and great, stand before God: s and 
the books were opened; and 'an- 
other book was opened, which is 
the book of life: and the dead were 
judged out of those things which 
were written in the books, "ac- 
cording to their works. 

13 And the sea gave up the dead 
which were in it; and death and 
1 hell delivered up the dead which 
were in them: and they were 
judged every man according to 
their works. 

14 And "death and hell were 
cast into the lake of fire. This is 
the second death. 

15 And whosoever was not found 
written in the book of life was cast 
into the lake of fire.

CHAPTER XXI. 

Description of the heavenly Jerusalem. 

AND a I saw a new heaven and a 
new earth: for the first heaven 
and the first earth were passed 
away; and there was no more b sea. 

2 And I John saw c the holy city, 
new Jerusalem, coming down from 
God out of heaven, prepared d as a 
bride adorned for her husband. 

3 And I heard a great voice out 
of heaven, saying, Behold, 6 the 
tabernacle of God is with men, 
and he will dwell with them, and 
they shall be his people, and God 
himself shall be with them, and be 
their God. 

4 And f God shall wipe away all 
tears from their eyes ; and 9 there 
shall be no more death, h neither 
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall 
there be any more pain: for the 
former things are passed away. 

5 And * he that sat upon the 
throne said, Behold, i I make all 
things new. And he said unto 
me. Write : for these words are true 
and faithful. 

6 And he said unto me, It is done. 
1 am Alpha and Omega, the be- 
ginning and the end. * I will give 
unto nim that is athirst of the 
fountain of the water of life freely. 

7 He that l overcometh shall in- 
herit x all things ; and m I will be 
his God, and he shall be my son. 

8 But ** the fearful, and unbeliev- 
ing, and the abominable, and 
murderers, and whoremongers, and 
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all 
liars, shall have their part in the 
lake which burneth with fire and 
brimstone: which is the second 
death. 

9 And there came unto me one 
of the seven angels, which had the 
seven vials full of the seven last 
plagues, and talked with me, say- 
ing, Come hither, I will show thee 
the bride, the Lamb's wife. 

10 And he carried me away in the 
spirit to a great and high moun- 
tain, and showed me °that great 
city, the holy Jerusalem, descend- 
ing out of heaven from God, 

11 Having the glory of God : and 
her light was like unto a stone 
most precious, even like a jasper 
stone, clear as crystal; 

12 And had a wall great and 
bigh, and had twelve gates, and at 
the gates twelve angels, and names 
written thereon, which are the 
names of the twelve tribes of the 
children of Israel :

13 On the east, three gates; on 
the north, three gates; on the 
south, three gates ; and on the 
west, three gates. 

14 And the wall of the city had 
twelve foundations, and f, in them 
the names of the twelve apostles of 
the Lamb. 

15 And he that talked with me 
had 2 a golden reed to measure the 
city, and the gates thereof, and the 
wall thereof 

16 And the city lieth four-square, 
and the length is as large as the 
breadth. And he measured the 
city with the reed, twelve thou- 
sand furlongs. The length, and 
the breadth, and the height of it 
are equal. 

17 And he measured the wall 
thereof, an hundred and forty and 
four cubits, according to the meas- 
ure of a man, that is, of the angel. 

18 And the building of the wall 
of it was of jasper : and the city 
was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 

19 And r the foundations of the 
wall of the city were garnished with 
all manner of precious stones. The 
first foundation was jasper; the 
second, sapphire ; the third, a chal- 
cedony ; the fourth, an emerald ; 

20 The fifth, sardonyx ; the sixth, 
sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; 
the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a 
topaz ; the tenth, a chrysoprasus ; 
the eleventh, a jacinth ; the twelfth, 
an amethyst. 

21 And the twelve gates were 
twelve pearls; every several gate 
was of one pearl : £ and the street 
of the city was pure gold, as it were 
transparent glass. 

22 And ' I saw no temple there- 
in: for the Lord God Almighty 
and the Lamb are the temple of it. 

23 And u the city had no need of 
the sun, neither of the moon, to 
shine in it : for the glory of God 
did lighten it, and the^Lamb is 
the light thereof. 

24 And v the nations of them 
which are saved shall walk in the 
light of it: and the kings of the 
earth do bring their glory and 
honour into it. 

25 And the gates of it shall not 
be shut at all by day : for w there 
shall be no night there. 

26 And they shall bring the glory 
and honour of the nations into it. 

27 And x there shall in no wise 
enterinto it any thing thatdefileth, 
neither whatsoever worketh abomi- 
nation or majceth a lie; but they

CHAPTER XXK 

The glorious state of God's servants. 

AND he showed me a a pure river 
of water of life, clear as crys- 
tal, proceeding out of the throne 
of God and of the Lamb. 

2 In the midst of the street of it, 
and on either side of the river, was 
there the 6 tree of life, which bare 
twelve manner of fruits, and yielded 
her fruit every month: and the 
leaves of the tree were c for the 
healing of the nations. 

3 And d there shall be no more 
curse: but the 6 throne of God and 
of the Lamb shall be in it; and his 
servants shall serve him: 

4 And /they shall see his face; and 
his name shall be in then foreheads. 

5 And there shall be no night 
there; and they need no candle, 
neither light of the sun; for 9 the 
Lord God giveth them light: and 
they h shall reign for ever and ever. 

6 And he said unto me, These 
sayings are faithful and true: and 
the * Lord God of the holy pro- 
phets sent his angel to show unto 
his servants the things which 
must shortly be done. 

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed 
is he that keepeth the sayings of 
the prophecy of this book. 

8 And I John saw these things, 
and heard them. And when I had 
heard and seen, I fell down to 
worship before the feet of the angel 
which showed me these things. 

9 Then saith he unto me, See 
thou do it not: for I am thy fellow- 
servant, and of thy brethren the 
prophets, and of them which keep 
the sayings of this book: worship 
God. 

10 And 3 he saith unto me, Seal 
not the sayings of the prophecy of 
this book; for the time is at hand.

CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE OF THE PATRIARCHS, FROM ADAM TO MOSES, 2500 YEARS. 
This table exhibits the years of the birth and death of the patriarchs ; the comparative length of their lives ; who of them were alive at 
the same period ; and the rapid decrease in the length of life after the deluge. Thus, Lamech the father of Noah was born A. M. 874, and 
died A. M. 1651; he was contemporary with Adam 56 years, and he died but five years before the flood. Shem was born nearly 100 years 
before the flood, and lived many years after both Abraham and Isaac were born.

Note. The pronunciation of many Proper N.imes, especially those of Hebrew 
origin, is very difficult to determine, and in many cases high authorities disagree. Our 
effort has been, to designate first the mode best authenticated by analogy of language, 
general usage, and the judgment of learned men ; and to add any mode sanctioned by 
high authority. 

The same general rules have been followed in designating the -meaning of Bible 
Proper Na nes — which is often far more doubtful than the true pronunciation. In many 
cases in the following table, a word receives several nearly synonymous meanings; in 
many others the sense assigned by one lexicographer is totally different from all others. 

In pronouncing these words observe the division into syllables, and the acceiit. 
Final i when a syllable by itself, is pronounced long; ai when one syllable, as in aid; 
iah, when one syllable, is pronounced yah, as I-sa'yak. 

In Hebrew names, g is always pronounced hard, as in Gethsemane, Gilead. In 
Genesis, a Greek word, it is soft. In both Hebrew and Greek words pronounce ch hard, 
like k; except in Rachel, cher'ub, cher'u-bim. Cherub, a city, is pronounced Ke'rub.
